Investigating an Optimal Signal Epoch Length for Cardiotocographic Classification
Authors: Fuentealba Patricio , Illanes Alfredo , Ortmeier Frank , Poudel Prabal
Published: February 2021

This work focuses on investigating an optimal foetal heart rate (FHR) signal segment to be considered for automatic cardiotocographic (CTG) classification. The main idea is to evaluate a set of signal segments of different length and location based on their classification performance. For this purpose, we employ a feature extraction operation based on two signal processing techniques, such as the Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise and time-varying autoregressive modelling. For each studied segment, the features are extracted and evaluated based on their performance in CTG classification. For the proposed evaluation, we make use of real CTG data extracted from the CTU-UHB database. Results show that the classification performance depends considerably on the selected FHR segment. Likewise, we have found that an optimal FHR segment for foetal welfare assessment during labour corresponds to a segment of 30 minutes long.
Fifth DSRG symposium at CHU UCL Namur, 18/10/2019. “Centralization of injectables and robotization”
Authors: Hecq Jean-Daniel , Jamart Jacques , Odou Pascal , Vigneron Jean , Galanti Laurence
Published: February 2021

The physico-chemical stability of an injectable preparation (IV) is conditioned by different parameters. A collaboration between the pharmacy, the chemistry laboratory and the statisticians of the scientific support unit was established in 1996, in order to carry out long-term chemical stability studies of commonly used IVs and to be able to take charge of their preparation in pharmacy. In 24 years of activity, the Drug Stability Research Group (DSRG) tested 39 IV at different concentration and temperature of storage. The DSRG has organized an annual symposium since 2015. The theme of the 2019 edition was devoted to the robotization of injectable reconstitution operations, focused on their impact on the workplace and the existing equipment.
“Big girls don’t cry”: the effect of the experimenter’s sex and pain catastrophising on pain
Authors: Vo Lechi , Drummond Peter D.
Published: February 2021

Objectives

The expression of pain in males and females involves complex socio-psychological mechanisms. Males may report lower pain to a female experimenter to appear strong, whereas females may report higher pain to a male experimenter to appear weak and to seek protection. However, evidence to support these stereotypes is inconclusive. Individuals who catastrophise about pain rate higher pain than those who do not. How pain catastrophising interacts with the effect of the experimenter’s sex on pain reports is yet to be explored. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether pain catastrophising moderated the effect of the experimenter’s sex on pain reports in healthy males and females.

Methods

Participants (n=60, 30 males) were assigned to one of four experimental conditions: males tested by male experimenters, males tested by female experimenters, females tested by male experimenters, and females tested by female experimenters. Participants completed the Pain Catastrophising Scale, and then sensitivity to heat and to blunt (pressure-pain threshold) and sharp stimuli was assessed on both forearms, and to high frequency electrical stimulation (HFS) administered to one forearm.

Results

Females reported lower pressure-pain thresholds than males irrespective of the experimenters’ sex. Females reported lower sharpness ratings to male than female experimenters only when the test stimuli were moderately or intensely sharp. Higher pain catastrophising scores were associated with higher sharpness ratings in females but not males. Additionally, higher pain catastrophising scores were associated with greater temporal summation of pain to HFS, and with lower pressure-pain thresholds in females who were tested by male experimenters.

Conclusions

These findings indicate that the experimenters’ sex and the participant’s pain catastrophising score influence pain reports, particularly in females. Awareness of these psychosocial factors is important in order to interpret pain responses in a meaningful way, especially when females are tested by male experimenters. A greater awareness of sex/gender role biases and their potential interaction with pain catastrophising may help researchers and clinicians to interpret pain reports in meaningful ways. In turn, this may help to improve delivery of treatments for patients with chronic pain.
Creep Life Prediction of Aircraft Turbine Disc Alloy Using Continuum Damage Mechanics
Authors: Li Yan-Feng , Zhang Zhisheng , Zhang Chenglin , Zhou Jie , Huang Hong-Zhong
Published: February 2021

This paper deals with the creep characteristics of the aircraft turbine disc material of nickel-base superalloy GH4169 under high temperature. From the perspective of continuum damage mechanics, a new creep life prediction model is proposed to predict the creep life of metallic materials under both uniaxial and multiaxial stress states. The creep test data of GH4169 under different loading conditions are used to demonstrate the proposed model. Moreover, from the perspective of numerical simulation, the test data with analysis results obtained by using the finite element analysis based on Graham creep model is carried out for comparison. The results show that numerical analysis results are in good agreement with experimental data. By incorporating the numerical analysis and continuum damage mechanics, it provides an effective way to accurately describe the creep damage process of GH4169.
La fecundidad del vacío

El presente artículo trata sobre las posibilidades del vacío existencial, centrándose en sus alcances, sus alternativas y sus aportes al ser humano. Se aluden, por tanto, siete características del vacío que llena: su fuente es el desapego, conduce a la expulsión de temores, angustias y odios, surge de la aceptación, alienta la liberación  de las enajenaciones,  supera la univocidad y permite la distinción entre la opinión y la verdad. Además, el vacío que llena dirige al individuo al reconocimiento de sus propios límites y a la intuición de un Orden que es usualmente ajeno a la intelección.

Authors: Chávez Díaz Liliana Guadalupe
Published: February 2021

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre las memorias escritas por autoras latinoamericanas y la narrativa de viajes contemporánea. Se inscribe en el debate en torno a la memoria y la literatura del yo en la literatura latinoamericana publicada a partir del 2000, a través del análisis de testimonios de viaje de mujeres escritos en primera persona en el contexto de las guerrillas y revoluciones de los años sesenta. El objetivo es identificar los usos particulares del lenguaje que las autoras latinoamericanas desarrollaron para autorrepresentarse mientras viajaban en un territorio aún en desarrollo y que enfrentaba grandes cambios sociales. El estudio se centra en El país bajo mi piel(2001), de Gioconda Belli; La Habana en un espejo(2004), de Alma Guillermoprieto y Viajes: De la Amazonía a las Malvinas (2014), de Beatriz Sarlo. Se propone aportar al conocimiento de la narrativa de no ficción latinoamericana y de autoras poco atendidas por la crítica literaria mediante el estudio de la literatura de viaje como medio de expresión de la memoria individual y colectiva. El artículo ofrece una perspectiva femenina en torno a la relación entre ideología, política y viaje, al mismo tiempo que explora las representaciones de clase y género en la literatura contemporánea.

The Constitutionality of Regulations Regarding Professional Supervision of Universities in Poland Under the Law on Higher Education and Science
Authors: Bednarczyk-Płachta Agnieszka
Published: February 2021

The Polish Accreditation Committee (Polska Komisja Akredytacyjna – further as „PKA”) is an entity authorised to conduct control activities supporting the minister’s supervisory competencies. The institution aroused great controversy from the very beginning. The procedures and operating principles, as part of professional supervision, have been declared as unconstitutional. Despite the fact that the decisions issued by the Constitutional Tribunal are generally applicable, it’s not known why the legislator feels he is released from his obligation to comply with the Tribunal’s decisions, putting into legal circulation regulations which are already considered unconstitutional. In the field of regulations on professional supervision over universities the presented situation not only undermines the fundamental rights of universities, as entities external to public administration, but also has the direct impact over citizens’ rights – students studying in controlled universities.

The presented study discusses the law regulations of higher education and science in the scope of the procedures and competences given to the PKA in terms of their compliance with the Constitution. Comparing previously applicable higher education law before and after Constitutional Tribunal’s passed verdict from 2013 (which stated the unconstitutionality of regulations in the scope of the control procedure carried out by PKA) with applicable law allows to support the thesis about the unconstitutionality of new regulations introduced in this respect and depriving universities of the right to an effective defence. Derived conclusions clearly indicates that the new law, which in its assumptions was to be better and revolutionize higher education in Poland, is another legal act requiring a thorough change from the very beginning, which does not improve the legal situation of universities in Poland in the examined scope, and in some aspects makes the situation much worse.
Role of Dean’s Offices in Developing Internal Normative Acts at HEIs
Authors: Górak-Sosnowska Katarzyna , Tomaszewska Lidia
Published: February 2021

Dean’s Offices are administrative units of a wide scope of tasks with particular focus on managing students affairs. Their work is regulated by ordinary law, as well as internal normative acts developed at their respective HEIs. In our article we analyse the role of the Dean’s Offices in creating such acts in regard to a) their inclusion in this process; b) their ability to initiate such process; c) a wider framework of legal knowledge that they have access to. Our source material are 15 structured interviews with heads of Dean’s Offices at public and non -public HEIs. Our results indicate that the inclusion of Dean’s Offices in developing internal normative acts varies and seems to be an indication of HEI’s dominating organisational culture. In case of role -oriented cultures, there might be some channels that enable the Dean’s Offices to participate in developing the regulation. However, it depends on the power relations between the Dean’s Offices and central administration of the HEIs. Much more rarely are the HEI effect-oriented and including all relevant stakeholder (regardless of their position in the HEI’s hierarchy) into designing the regulation.
The Lack of Legal Protection of Union Rights on Termination of Fixed Term Academics at Public Universities in the Flemish Community of Belgium. Admissibility Issues of an Application Based on the Framework Agreement on Fixed-term Work at Public Universities in the Assessment by the Supreme Administrative Court of Belgium
Authors: Lauwers Gracienne
Published: February 2021

The question of sufficient protection of academics employed with successive fixed-term employment contracts or relationships in the university sector had been raised in several procedures before the Court of Justice of the European Union (hereaft er: CJEU)2. These cases deal with the substantive basis of the claims of the academics. Admissibility of their claims was not an issue. Unlike the research dealing with the substantive basis of the claims of academics based on the Framework agreement on fixed-term work, this article deals with a ruling on the admissibility of the plea based on the Framework agreement on fixed-term work encountered by academics in the Flemish Community of Belgium. The article first outlines the exception from general labour law in the Higher Education Code of the Flemish Community of Belgium that allows universities to employ academics indefinitely with fixed-term relationships through the practice of a mosaic combination of a part-time statutory employment under administrative law and a part-time contractual employment under labour law.3 It then discusses the impact of the exceptions on the admissibility of claims for damages, compensation and reinstatement by fixed-term academics at a Flemish public university based on the violation of Council Directive 1999/70/EC and Framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP4 brought before the Council of State, which is the supreme administrative court of Belgium.5 The author argues that the Belgian Council of State incorrectly applied Directive 1999/70/EC and the Framework agreement on fixed-term work in judgment no. 247.434 of April 21, 2020, while it was – in its capacity of supreme administrative court of Belgium – under the obligation of Article 267 TFEU6 to refer for a preliminary ruling to the CJEU. The refusal by the Belgian Council of State to refer questions for a preliminary ruling to the CJEU and a wrong interpretation of Union law could result i. a. in State liability for damage resulting from breach of its obligations under Community law7 whereas the CJEU could have helped the Belgian Council of State in a preliminary ruling to determine the concept of ‘successive’ employment relationships, preventive measures and measures to punish abuse of fixed term contracts in Flemish universities, rule whether the articles in the Flemish Higher Education Code on vacancies and employment of fixed-term academic staff violate the Council Directive 1999/70/EC and Framework agreement on fixed-term work, and whether national Belgian procedural law makes the application for fixed-term academic staff at a Flemish public university virtually impossible or excessively difficult and therefore incompatible with the principle of effectiveness of Union law.

Dark matter polarization operator in the generalized Yukawa model
Authors: Dmytriiev M. S. , Skalozub V. V.
Published: February 2021

Nowadays, no dark matter candidates have been discovered. We consider the possible reason for that which is related to the approach of on-peak resonance searching for. As is believed usually, a new particle has small width and a narrow width approximation is applicable to identify such type resonant peak in the invariant mass spectrum of collision products.
In the present paper, in the framework of the generalized Yukawa model, we find out the propertiesof the searched particle when its width is larger than a maximal one expected during experiments and so this state could be missed as a noise. Usually, the new particle width is considered as an arbitrary parameter. Here, we obtain the width of the dark matter particle from an imaginary part of polarization operators. Then the width is analyzed as explicit function of the couplings and masses in the underlying model of the dark matter. The corresponding constraints on the model parameters are obtained. Role of the one-loop mixing of visible and dark matter fields is investigated and constraint on the mixing angle value is derived. These estimations are quite general and, in particular, relevant to interactions between the particles of the Standard model and dark matter.
Relaxation phenomena in electron plasma of semiconductors
Authors: Sokolovsky S. A. , Sokolovsky A. I. , Hrinishyn O. A.
Published: February 2021

The hydrodynamics of the electron subsystems of semiconductors is studied in the approximations of the ideal and real liquid, taking into account processes of relaxation of temperatures and macroscopic velocities of electrons and phonons without assuming the local equilibrium of the system. A set of integral equations for the electron distribution function of the first order in gradients is obtained, which determines the sources in the hydrodynamic equations of the ideal liquid approximation and the dissipative flows of energy and momentum of electrons. The steady states of the system in the ideal liquid approximation are investigated. The exact formulas for the electron mobility of the semiconductor and its conductivity are derived and kinetic coefficients that determine current in a spatially inhomogeneous state are calculated. In the presence of an electric field, the phenomenon of difference of temperatures of the electron and phonon subsystems is predicted. The obtained expressions are specified for the case of temperatures much higher the Debye temperature.

Published: February 2021

Some special features of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) thin films preparation process and electrical properties of the films are presented. The NBT films were grown on both Pt/sitall and Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by ex-situ method with high-frequency (13.56 MHz) magnetron deposition. Thermal treatment of the films was carried out in the temperature range 550°С – 700°С in air. Obtained X-ray diffraction data show that annealing at 700°C promotes crystallization of NBT films in ferroelectric perovskite phase with minor inclusions of pyrochlore phase. Dielectric hysteresis (P-E) loops in electric field of 90 kV/cm (50 Hz) and the current density-electric field (J-E) characteristics of the films are investigated. It is found that densities of leakage currents in weak fields depend on the film substrate and are significantly lower for the films deposited on the Pt/sitall structure (~6.9 10-10 A/cm2) in comparison with the films deposited on the Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si structure (~10-6 A/cm2). The main mechanisms of leakage currents in thin NBT ferroelectric films and the role of structural defects in charge transfer process are discussed.
Modelling of overheating in solar photovoltaic cell plates with local electric heat sources
Authors: Tonkoshkur A. S. , Ivanchenko A. V.
Published: February 2021

A model and a calculation scheme that allow describing and investigating temperature and voltage drop distributions in solar photovoltaic cell plates in the presence of an overvoltage displacing the p-n junction of photovoltaic cell in the reverse direction are developed. It is found that for a solar photocell the temperature distribution stabilizes within several seconds after the overvoltage onset. In this case, the maximum temperature and size of the region of local heating (called a “hot spot”) are set. An increase in the overvoltage value leads to an increase in the maximum temperature and the “hot spot” size. For solar cells with lower electrical resistances, local heating takes place at lower overvoltages and temperatures and “hot spot” sizes of are smaller.
The rape law revision in Denmark: Consent or voluntariness as the key criterion?
Authors: Vestergaard Jørn
Published: February 2021

The adoption of a consent-based rape provision in the Danish Penal Code has gradually gained sufficient political support. The overall objective behind the law reform is to render better protection of the right to sexual self-determination and sexual integrity. However, in the recent run-up towards a political agreement, a sharp dividing line has separated the proponents of change due to a heated controversy with regard to the choice of the term to be used in the revised criminal law provision, i.e., ‘consent’ or ‘voluntariness’. The disagreement has caused a protracted deadlock in the reform process. This article examines the polarising opinions in the debate and compares the potential impacts of the debated models. It will be demonstrated that the demarcation line between the two opposing parties in the debate concerning the choice of the appropriate terminology has been drawn unnecessarily sharp. The reach of the amended rape legislation will not merely depend on the wording of the rape provision but will, at least in part, depend on the clarifications provided in the preparatory works. Ultimately, the courts will have to clarify the legal implications of an individual’s passivity in a sexual encounter and address the adequate assessment of sexual encounters taking place against the backdrop of psychological violence and abuse.

Background. The most important task in the field of renal-cell cancer (RCC) treatment results improvement is the search and validation of the markers for its early diagnostics still absent in the clinical practice. It was established that even before the onset and/or detection of RCC the level of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in blood plasma did increase.

Objective of the study — comparative evaluation of KIM-1 levels in blood plasma of practically healthy persons, RCC cancer, benign kidney tumor patients, patients with non-oncological renal pathologies, and analysis of its role in RCC diagnostics and prognosis.

Materials and methods. 125 RCC (age 33—81 years), 14 — benign kidney neoplasms (29—84 years) patients, 90patients with chronic nephritis (28—82 years) and 68 practically healthy persons (18—71 years) were included in the study. Plasma KIM-1 content was measured using Human Serum TIM-1/KIM-1/HAVCR Quantikine® ELISA kit (R&D Systems Biotechne®, USA).

Results. KIM-1 level in blood plasma of RCC and chronic nephritis patients was significantly higher than in control (medians 305, 282 and 37.8pg/ml respectively, p <0.0001). The rate of KIM-1 elevation over cut-offvalue 90pg/ml corresponding to the upper 95 % confidence interval of control in RCC patients comprised 79.2 %, in patients with nephritis — 83 %, in those with benign renal tumors — 50 %. Specificity in relation to healthy control was 96 %. KIM-1 level highly significantly increased with RCC progression, and already at stage I was 4.3-fold higher by median than in control (p <0.0001). Sensitivity of stage I—IIRCC detection at cut-off 90pg/ml comprised 75 %; stage III—IV — 94 %. The highest plasma KIM-1 levels were detected in papillary cancer patients (median 644pg/ml), that was more than 2-fold higher than in clear-cell and 32-fold higher than in chromophobic RCC. Plasma KIM-1 median level was 7-fold higher in patients with G3 4RCC than in those with G12 (p <0.0001). At the cut-off KIM-1 value of 163pg/ml, corresponding to the median at stage I, significant differences in 3.5-years overall survival both in the total group: 49 % at high, 95 % at low marker level (p <0.01), and at stage I RCC: 62 % and 100 % respectively (p <0.05) — were revealed.

Conclusion. Plasma KIM-1 may become the first highly sensitive marker for the early detection of RCC, but it does not allow differentiating between oncologic and non-oncologic renal pathologies. Increased basal plasma KIM-1 is an unfavorable prognostic factor irrespective of the stage of tumor progression.

Published: February 2021

Background. A relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity has been consistently documented. Obesity and metabolic syndrome have been associated with misalignment between daily activities and circadian rhythm. ADHD patients have a high prevalence of delayed sleep phase syndrome, which is a circadian rhythm disorder. Understanding this relationship is important for the evaluation of obese population at risk. Objective. The aim of this narrative review was to summarize the information updated until 2019 about the role of circadian rhythms in obese ADHD individuals. Method. A search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar database. The terms ADHD, obesity, circadian rhythm, sleep disorders, adolescent, adult, Adolesc, circadian, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and child were combined with logical functions. Results. A total of 132 articles were reviewed. Evidence showed that ADHD subjects have an increased risk to present obesity and circadian rhythms disorders. Some possible pathways for this relationship have been hypothesized including obesity as a risk factor, an underpinned common biological dysfunction, and behavioral and cognitive features of individuals with ADHD. As most of the articles are methodologically cross-sectional, it is not possible to establish causative associations. Discussion and conclusion. This review points out the importance of early recognizing and treating circadian rhythms disorders and obesity in ADHD patients. Future studies must be carried out with a longitudinal design to establish the effect of each comorbidity in the treatment of individuals with ADHD.
FEATURES OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF PRIMARY CLASS TEACHERS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Authors: Spitsin Ye. , Khmil T.
Published: February 2021

The article determines that elementary school is the first level in the process of obtaining general education for children and in their general intellectual, physical and social development. in practice, accordingly, it sets the task for professional education as well – to prepare future elementary school teacher as a social personality, capable of solving certain problems and tasks of professional activity under the conditions of mastering a system of skills and competences.
The success of the pedagogical activity of an elementary school teacher implies a special preparedness in the institution of higher education – the formation of knowledge, skills and pedagogical competences aimed at the exercise of professional functions.
Study of experience of foreign countries on the professional pedagogical training of elementary school teachers is an important condition for the formation of theoretical and methodological bases for optimization of the training of elementary school teachers in Ukrainian HEIs.
An analysis of current approaches to the preparation of future primary school teachers in France, the United Kingdom and Japan makes it possible to highlight the trends that are characteristic of European and Japanese education, namely: training teachers in higher education, two-level education, student development taking into account socio-cultural features, forming in them the readiness for professional mobility, to study throughout their professional activity, creating conditions for internships abroad. Progressive ideas of foreign experience can be taken into account in the national practice of teacher training. Further scientific inquiries may be directed to the study of the content filling of the teacher training programs and the peculiarities of the organization of the educational process in the institutions of higher education of foreign countries.
Learning and using the experience of other countries is one of the main methods of designing educational reforms in Ukraine. Using foreign experience will help to avoid many mistakes. In addition, the integration of Ukraine into the world and European educational spaces requires adaptation of national educational legislation to pan-European educational principles and practices. These include, in particular, the existence of certain standards of education and professional activity of teachers.

O artigo visa discutir como são caracterizados o trabalho e a educação no documento “Liberar o potencial: transformar a educação e a formação técnica e profissional”, chancelado pela Unesco (2015). A pesquisa é teórica com análise documental. A análise dialogou com um referencial teórico ancorado na identificação das contradições, continuidades e alinhamentos da relação entre capital, trabalho e educação. Os elaboradores do documento adotam a concepção economicista do trabalho e utilitarista da educação para o mercado com ênfase no trabalho informal, assumindo-o como fonte de criatividade e empreendedorismo, porém, escamoteando a precarização do trabalho.

MÉTACOGNITION, ÉTATS AFFECTIFS ET ENGAGEMENT COGNITIF CHEZ DES ÉTUDIANTS UNIVERSITAIRES: TRIADE PERCUTANTE POUR L’APPRENTISSAGE ET L’INCLUSION
Authors: Costa Carla Barroso da , Araújo-Oliveira Anderson
Published: February 2021

L’article fait état des liens qui peuvent être établis entre les stratégies métacognitives, les états affectifs et la performance des étudiants universitaires. Il présente une analyse qualitative d’autoévaluations produites par des étudiants du premier cycle, dans le cadre d’un cours d’introduction à la statistique, au terme de la réalisation d’une situation d’évaluation comportant une tâche complexe. Les résultats suggèrent que l’engagement cognitif de l’étudiant dépend de sa prise de conscience et de sa participation active tant sur le plan motivationnel que sur le plan des actions à entreprendre. En outre, ils mettent en évidence l’importance de la mise en œuvre de situations d’évaluation qui privilégie l’autonomie, l’apprentissage en profondeur et la participation active des étudiants dans leurs propres évaluations visant à favoriser l’autorégulation ainsi qu’à encourager l’accessibilité, l’inclusion et le succès académique des étudiants universitaires.
RÉFLÉCHIR AUTOUR DES CONSIDÉRATIONS DIDACTIQUES DE L’UNIVERS SOCIAL POUR FAVORISER DES PRATIQUES ÉVALUATIVES PLUS INCLUSIVES: QUOI, POURQUOI ET COMMENT?

L’approche inclusive est un enjeu à l’heure actuelle dans nos sociétés qui croient en l’éducabilité universelle. Or, l’évaluation des apprentissages reste encore dans une vision de sanction, et le retour du résultat chiffré n’a pas aidé. Par conséquent, les pratiques évaluatives des enseignants prônent encore une vision qui vise à classer les « bons » élèves des moins « bons ». Cet article présente le déroulement d’une recherche collaborative menée auprès de quatre enseignantes du primaire. Les résultats issus de journées de réflexion et d’entrevues semi-dirigées ont permis de réaliser un portrait évolutif des pratiques des enseignantes et de dégager des pistes de réflexion pour une évaluation plus inclusive. La conclusion confirme l’importance de l’évaluation formative pour favoriser l’approche inclusive et insiste sur l’importance de bien considérer les spécificités de la didactique pour pouvoir mieux cibler les objets d’apprentissage.

DIFERENTES ESFERAS DE AGÊNCIA NA RUA DA CONSTITUIÇÃO, RIO DE JANEIRO, DO SÉCULO XVIII AO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Garcia Anderson Marques , Bianchini Gina Faraco , Borges Diogo De Souza , Barros Henrique Vences , Puccioni Silvia , Gaspar Maria Dulce
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo aborda o processo de construção da Rua da Constituição, no Rio de Janeiro, do século XVIII ao século XIX, integrando conceitos de agência, unidades estratigráficas, gesto técnico e cadeia operatória, para discutir como foram desenvolvidos diferentes projetos urbanísticos públicos e, também, as marcas deixadas nesses projetos por calceteiros entre esses séculos. Para tratar essa questão, foram estudados dois tipos de pavimentos construídos com blocos de rochas, conhecidos como Pé de Moleque, uma estrutura de combustão implementada sobre a canaleta central do primeiro pavimento e os materiais arqueológicos móveis associados à estrutura, como fragmentos de faiança fina, carvões e restos de mandioca queimada, ossos de bovídeos e um anel de piaçava.

Las funciones académicas en las universidades argentinas: una mirada en perspectiva histórica
Authors: Zavaro Pérez Carlos Alberto
Published: February 2021

Se analizan algunas particularidades de la profesión académica en las universidades argentinas bajo el supuesto de que la coyuntura política, económica y social ha constituido el escenario en el que se explicitan y diferencian las funciones universitarias y se han configurado las tradiciones. En este sentido se intenta reconstruir una trazabilidad en perspectiva histórica de los principales hitos que han impactado en la manera en que estas prácticas se objetivan.
Caminhos complexos caminhantes: a educação em Edgar Morin
Authors: Araújo Luciano Magnus de
Published: February 2021

No presente texto pretendo discutir alguns aspectos sobre educação em na obra de Edgar Morin, seja por sua obra original ou nas vozes de comentadores; o seu ponto de vista sobre o conceito fundador da complexidade, e os desdobramentos metodológicos e epistemológicos que possam contribuir sobre certo cenário para a construção de pertinentes projetos educacionais que contemplem a vida, a condição humana e sua emancipação diante dos desmandos do modelo ocidental patrocinado pelo capitalismo do décimo quinto ao vigésimo primeiro século de nossa era. É uma investigação teórica que busca iluminar dimensões pragmáticas, não exclusivamente no contexto dos espaços institucionalizados do fazer educacional, mas também a natureza das relações locais e globais.
A atualidade da utopia na perspectiva de Ernst Bloch
Authors: Theis Ivo Marcos
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo se procura oferecer uma leitura sobre utopia, em especial, sobre a atualidade da utopia a partir de Ernst Bloch. São seis as sessões em que o artigo está estruturado: à introdução segue uma segunda sessão na qual se apresenta a utopia na vida e na obra de Bloch; a terceira sessão é consagrada à utopia como ela pode ser identificada em “O princípio esperança”; na quarta se dedica atenção à atualidade da noção de utopia segundo Bloch, com especial destaque para a sua relativamente pouco conhecida teoria da assincronia; a quinta seção trata de algumas reconhecidas divergências e alguns pouco mencionados mal-entendidos; e, por fim, a última é destinada à conclusão.
O Brasil e o FMI: uma análise nas cartas de intenção de 1998 a 2004 e o constante problema da inflação
Authors: Santos Milene Fádua Vieira dos , Mendes dos Santos Ludmylla Monteiro
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal analisar a relação histórica construída entre o Brasil e o Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI), considerando os períodos de 1998 a 2004 — último ano de empréstimo concedidos ao país. Além disso, o artigo também analisou a importância da criação do Real para a economia brasileira, uma vez que as moedas anteriores não cooperaram para a redução da inflação. Para chegar a um resultado satisfatório, foram pesquisados diferentes documentos que configuram um debate acerca do objeto proposto. Por meio das pesquisas pode-se perceber que os empréstimos foram de extrema necessidade para a ajudar o Brasil a ter um melhor desenvolvimento econômico, entretanto, não foram o suficiente para sanar o problema inflacionário. Foi perceptivo também que a criação do Real levou a economia brasileira a um novo patamar, porém não alcançou as expectativas desejadas pelo governo da época. Dito isso, essa pesquisa se mostra mais quantitativa que qualitativa, uma vez que traz dados que justificam os fenômenos descritos ao longo do texto.
Literatura paraense de autoria feminina: uma perspectiva diacrônica
Authors: Silva Neto Francisco Rodrigues da , Vidal Claudia Valéria França
Published: February 2021

A presença da mulher na literatura enquanto produtora de textos escritos é bem mais tardia e numericamente inferior do que a do homem devido a uma série de fatores histórico-sociais. A discussão em torno deste descompasso toma força a partir do surgimento da linha da crítica literária feminista na década de 1970 nos Estados Unidos. Uma de suas vertentes, a ginocrítica, tem por finalidade pesquisar o corpus literário produzido por mulheres, até então praticamente ignorado pela crítica tradicional predominantemente masculina, bem como, a formação de um cânone alternativo. Esta tendência de estudos, atualmente mais conhecida sob a rubrica da crítica de gênero, foi replicando-se para outros países e suas respectivas literaturas. No que toca à literatura brasileira, muitos trabalhos têm sido produzidos sobre o assunto nas últimas três décadas. Este artigo se propõe a apresentar uma revisão diacrônica da presença da mulher especificamente nas letras paraenses do século XX ao momento atual a partir do ponto de vista da crítica literária de gênero. Observou-se que o Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas Eneida de Moraes tem encabeçado estas investigações. Também foi possível constatar que o advento da era digital e a cibercultura abriram novas possibilidades para a publicação de mais escritoras, para a formação de redes de divulgação e para a investigação acerca do objeto proposto.
