Authors: Macedo Ferreira Bruno Leonardo
Published: October 2022

In this paper any superalgebra is generalized to a new form, namely ultra algebra. We study some algebraic structure results for ultra algebras and we have defined some maps on ultra algebras to know ultra derivation and Jordan ultra derivation. Moreover on certain assumptions we have proved that Jordan ultra derivation is an ultra derivation.
Design Optimization for Grey Water Treatment
Authors: Sangarpal Shlok
Published: October 2022

Abstract: India is facing a water crisis and by 2025 it is estimated that India's population will be suffering from severe water scarcity. Although India occupies only 3.29 million km2 of the geographical area which forms 2.4% of the world's land area, it supports over 15% of the world's population with only 4% of the world's water resources. With increased population growth and development, there is a need to critically look at alternative approaches to ensure water availability. The scarcity of water is soon going to incapacitate the entire world and therefore the sooner newer methods are devised to utilize water in all its possible forms the better for mankind. Ground water and surface water are rapidly getting contaminated by pollutants and hence cannot be utilized for irrigation purposes. Thus, an alternative water source, i.e. grey water comes into play. Grey water is easily available and through an inexpensive laboratory-scale treatment method like ours it can be purified so that it can serve for irrigation and household purposes. Five liters of grey water was treated by physical, chemical, and biological aided treatment procedures which were divided into three main methods namely primary, secondary and tertiary treatment. These alternative resources include rainwater and the bulk of water used in the household will emerge as grey water and contain some minerals, and organic waste materials dissolved and suspended in it. When this is allowed to flow out this will join the sewage and be bacteriologically contaminated, resulting in a sewage stream. It is possible to intercept this grey water, at the household level, and treat it so that it can be recycled for garden washing and flushing purposes as well.
A Review: Toxic Chemicals Emitted from Air fresheners & Disinfectants
Authors: S Nisitha , Balasubramani Geetha , J Paul Pradeep
Published: October 2022

Abstract: Health and wealth are closely related to indoor air quality (IAQ). Breathing clean air can lead to a better quality of life, it reduces the risk of respiratory infections, and it minimize the risk of developing a number of chronic diseases. According to data from the WHO, 90% of people around the world spend their time indoors. Outdoor pollution is 2 to 5 times lower than that found indoors. In this review article, we discussed about how air fresheners, cleaning agents, and disinfectants affect people's health and how they release air pollutants. Air pollution is a significant hazard to people's quality of life. The majority of diseases and early deaths are brought on by breathing this contaminant air. since everyone today uses a variety of cleaning reagents and air fresheners without considering the potentially harmful effects. Spray cleaning technology and disinfectants have been linked to negative respiratory effects. The common Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by air fragrance products are limonene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and other terpenes. These pollutants have been linked to a number of adverse health effects, including contact dermatitis, migraine headaches, asthma attacks, respiratory problems, neurological issues, and mucosal symptoms. This review article emphasizes the drawbacks of chemical-based air fresheners and cleaning products. Here we also focus the unexpected respiratory diseases caused by long term exposure of chemical pollutants emitted by air fresheners on indoor environment.
Un debate sobre la idea de contemporaneidad en las artes visuales latinoamericanas. Desde dónde y desde cuándo
Authors: Allende Contador Matías
Published: October 2022

Analizaremos parte del debate sobre lo moderno y lo contemporáneo en el arte latinoamericano, discrepando con las perspectivas posmodernas hoy predominantes en la literatura artística regional. Para ello se analizarán libros recientes de dos autores influyentes y representativos de esa perspectiva: Gerardo Mosquera y Andrea Giunta. Para ello, utilizaremos un marco teórico y metodológico interdisciplinar, con aportes de los estudios culturales latinoamericanos, la historia de las instituciones y la teoría de la historia. Sostenemos la hipótesis de que este tipo de interpretaciones omiten la densidad histórica del campo cultural regional, como ejemplo usaremos el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile, fundado en 1947. El artículo pretende ser un aporte en relevar las instituciones culturales latinoamericanas de la medianía del siglo XX.
Cine, diversidad e infancia: el proyecto Cineduka en escuelas básicas chilenas
Authors: Mela-Contreras Jose , Torelló Josep , Cobos Daniela
Published: October 2022

El proyecto “Cineduka: cine e interculturalidad” se implementó en cinco escuelas públicas de la región de O’Higgins, Chile, como una iniciativa de carácter cualitativo que tuvo como propósito favorecer el diálogo y la reflexión crítica entre docentes y estudiantes de 7º año de enseñanza básica, en torno a temáticas como el respeto y valoración hacia la diversidad cultural y étnica. Por este motivo, se realizó un programa de intervención educativa e intercultural basada en el trabajo conjunto con el profesorado de los establecimientos, con el objetivo de visionar y dialogar sobre cine e interculturalidad en el aula.
La ejecución de Cineduka incorporó actividades de análisis de escenas de películas, además de actividades pedagógicas y creativas para representar los aprendizajes estudiantiles, a través de la creación de cortometrajes estudiantiles. De esta forma, se buscó sensibilizar y promover aprendizajes con carácter intercultural, tal como la empatía hacia la diferencia, el respeto y la no discriminación entre pares, y el cuestionamiento hacia la reproducción de estereotipos negativos asociados con la migración.
Entre los resultados del proyecto se cuenta la elaboración de catorce cortometrajes estudiantiles, producciones que evidencian los intereses, reflexiones y problemáticas del estudiantado sobre la diversidad. Por este motivo, el artículo contiene un análisis documental y narrativo del lenguaje fílmico y los significados que evocan las creaciones fílmicas, vinculado a una profunda reflexión sobre la importancia de promover una enseñanza no discriminatoria y dialógica.
Marcos y representaciones de la masculinidad en los medios de comunicación en México: dos medios informativos y una telenovela
Authors: Alvarez Elizalde Andrés
Published: October 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es explicar cómo los medios de comunicación enmarcan las masculinidades en México. Por lo que trata de responder cómo se enmarcan desde el género, la cultura y el poder, lo que se difunde en las noticias y en una telenovela, sobre los hombres. En la actualidad y durante la pandemia, el consumo de información a través de redes sociales aumentó en México, por lo que es pertinente saber qué se está difundiendo y cómo se está realizando, a través de las imágenes y las narrativas, la socialización de la masculinidad. Así, con una metodología cualitativa y con herramientas de la etnografía virtual, se realizó una tipología de las imágenes y una codificación de las narrativas de El Universal Online, de Aristegui Noticias y del programa La Rosa de Guadalupe, que fueron publicadas de marzo a diciembre 2021, en la plataforma Facebook. Con el uso de conceptos de la teoría feminista y la sociología se analizan las implicaciones teóricas y empíricas del marco y se hace descripción de las representaciones de la masculinidad en su relación con la feminidad y la diversidad sexo-genérica, en el contexto sociocultural mexicano. El hallazgo es la reproducción de cierta “hipermasculinidad hegemónica” en los medios, a través del género donde se organizan distintos performances; de la cultura que genera procesos simbólicos de diferencia/indiferenciación; y del poder que se ejerce sobre las mismas masculinidades y otras representaciones de género, a través de distintas violencias.

Published: October 2022

La radio permite la intersección de los actores generadores y receptores de la comunicación, con un objetivo de producir mensajes que permitan la lectura de las realidades, del contexto histórico y de la identidad cultural. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la oralidad a partir de la creación de un programa radial en la básica primaria, que atienda a las necesidades del contexto y el rescate de la identidad cultural. El enfoque asumido en esta investigación fue de tipo cualitativo, enmarcado en la investigación acción, lo que permitió vincular la teoría y la práctica educativa. En el estudio participaron diecinueve estudiantes del grado tercero de una institución educativa pública, quienes construyeron colectivamente tres programas radiales durante el tiempo de pandemia y apoyados en las tecnologías digitales. Los instrumentos de recolección de información fueron el diario de campo, la escala de evaluación de la oralidad y la rúbrica de percepción del estudiante. En los resultados se muestra que las características de interacción, pronunciación y vocabulario tuvieron los mejores niveles de desempeño durante la construcción de los programas radiales, que los estudiantes valoran positivamente la realización de entrevistas a familiares y personas cercanas sobre aspectos culturales y el uso de dispositivos tecnológicos para fortalecer la expresión oral. En las conclusiones se afirma que la implementación de la radio escolar como estrategia didáctica aporta a mejoras en la expresión oral de los estudiantes, al acercamiento al lenguaje radiofónico y a la construcción de parámetros evaluativos de la oralidad en la básica primaria.
Migration and Oil-Centric Life: A Study on Ghassan Kanafani’s Men in the Sun
Authors: Sami eyasiba Ponmani , Jayashree Narasingaram
Published: October 2022

The oil narratives bring in a gamut of perspectives that would redefine the outlook of life. Modern life is embedded in the discovery of oil and the usage of hydrocarbon fuels. Petrofiction offers a scope for understanding the representation of oil aesthetics in literature. The research paper aims to critically expound the transformation after the sudden boom of wealth in Kuwait due to the discovery of oil, and the migration of Palestine refugees from Iraqi camps to Kuwait in search of jobs to upgrade their living conditions with reference to Men in the Sun by Ghassan Kanafani. The study authenticates the oil-centric life in Men in the Sun by understanding that oil is the base structure that governs the “push”, “pressure” and “stay” factors of a refugee in flight with theoretical support of kinetic model of exile, displacement and resettlement as proposed by Egon F. Kunz.
Experiments in Aural Attention: Listening Away & Lingering Longer
Authors: Rebecca Collins
Published: October 2022

This exposition puts forward ‘lingering longer’ and ‘listening away’ as potential means to remain with non-semantic possibilities, resisting the tendency to know immediately or to classify — to get lost, albeit momentarily in a more messy moment of being. At stake in this investigation is the recognition that our experience of the world, characterized through a depth of engagement, is not limited to how relations operate on the surface. The direction or orientation of our attention, the intensity with which it is applied, and how it weighs on and shapes our experience implies choice and agency.

Experiment I: Aural + Orientation = Aurientation emulates the experience of a fictional gallery-goer who encounters the sound installation, This is for You (Don’t Treat it like a Telephone) (2012). This piece was developed at the advanced centre for performance and scenography studies (a.pass) in Brussels and aims to consider how sound and the voice shape our orientation, when mediated through objects. Experiment in Aural Attention II: Vibrant Practice details the process undergone for creating Listening to Water (2013), a site-specific investigation into ancient well sites located in Powys and Ceredigion, two counties in Mid West Wales. The work, made in collaboration with Jane Lloyd-Francis and Naomi Heath, considers how a turn towards site, via a process of tuning in to the Welsh landscape, can bring attention to overlooked aspects of our environment.
Performing the ecstasis: An interpretation of Katharine Norman’s Making Place for instrument/s and electronics
Authors: Jean Penny
Published: October 2022

Katharine Normans’ work Making Place for instrument/s with live electronics (2013/16) combines recorded sounds, images, text, live interactive processing and instrumental music performance to create a unique experience of place. As the performer, I can choose a location, collect photographic images and recorded sounds, and interpret and re-create the score. The score is semi-improvisatory, consisting of many composed and freely pitched musical gestures which trigger text, visual animations and sound processing. This exposition traces the re-conceptualization, adaptation and performance of Making Place for alto flute. A multi-layered experimental methodology evolved that encompassed practice, discussion, description and reflection, with the performance itself forming the pivotal event, the epoché. To begin I share pre-performance thoughts – ideas of re-conceptualization and the construction of method. I follow with an account of pre-performance activities – the walk, collecting materials, transposing the music for alto flute, inserting new artefacts into the software, and rehearsals. Next come descriptions of the performance, and finally, I offer a reflective conclusion to the project. This project illuminated the quotidian through sound, image and text, transforming the everydayness of a walk along a disused railway track, turned walking/cycling track, in Victoria, Australia, into an extraordinary musical work, creating a shift from a knowing about to a knowing from within, from playing and doing to reflective awareness.
The application of creative practice as a means of disrupting or re-defining the dynamics of power in, with or for different communities.
Authors: Sabrin Hasbun  , Gareth Osborne  , Rachel Carney  , Julika Gittner  , Catherine Cartwright  , agnes villette  , Harry Matthews
Published: October 2022

In this exposition, seven research practitioners investigate how creative practice can be applied as a form of knowledge production in order to disrupt or re-define the dynamics of power in a range of different contexts. These applications of creative practice take varied and complex forms, often transferring creativity from the practitioner-researcher to their participants, increasing participant agency or re-defining existing hierarchies, as they form, empower, and enlighten real and conceptual communities. This collaborative exposition has been developed through presentations and discussions over the course of two years. Although each researcher applies different methodologies to their individual projects, our work as a group followed a pattern of creative practice, reflection, and reformulation, as we responded to each other’s research, creating a research community of our own. We want to emphasize that creative practice can not only disrupt or re-define the dynamics of power in a range of different contexts, but that it can do this in an infinite number of ways. In this variety and adaptability lies the potential of creative research.

Multi-strain disease dynamics on metapopulation networks

Many pathogens have clusters of variation in their genotypes that we
refer to as strain structure. Importantly, when considering related
pathogen strains, host immunity to one strain is often neither
independent from nor equivalent to immunity to other strains. This
partial cross-reactive immunity can thus allow repeated infection with
(different strains of) the same pathogen and shapes disease dynamics
across a population, in turn influencing the effectiveness of
intervention strategies. To better understand the dynamics governing
multi-strain pathogens in complex landscapes, we combine two frameworks
well-studied in their own right: multi-strain disease dynamics and
metapopulation network structure. We simulate the dynamics of a
multi-strain disease on a network of populations connected by migration
and characterize the joint effects of disease model parametrization and
network structure on these dynamics. We find that the movement of
(partially) immune individuals tends to have a larger impact than the
movement of infectious individuals, dampening infection dynamics in
populations further along a chain. When disease parameters differ
between populations, we find that dynamics can propagate from one
population to another, alternatively stabilizing or destabilizing
destinations populations based on the dynamics of origin populations. In
addition to providing novel insights into the role of host movement on
disease dynamics, this work provides a framework for future predictive
modelling of multi-strain diseases across generalized population
structures.

Published: October 2022

Nickel smelting produces a large amount of nickel slag which contains a lot of Fe in the form of FeO. The effect of FeO content on the melting properties and structure of nickel slag is investigated by thermodynamic calculations and experiments, using the nickel slag of water quenching furnace as raw material, which is simplified to CaO-SiO2-FeO-MgO slag system. The results are as follows: with increasing FeO content, the precipitated primary phase changes from melilite to olivine. The liquidus temperature, softening temperature, hemispherical temperature, flow temperature, viscosity, and critical viscosity temperature of the slag system tend to decrease gradually, but the solid phase temperature tends to decrease first and then increase. The centre of the symmetric stretching vibration band of the [SiO4]4 tetrahedron -in the slag system shifts to the low wavenumber region. The mole fraction of O0 in the slag continuously decreases, and the mole fraction of O- and O2- increases. The complex silicon-oxygen tetrahedron structure gradually disintegrates and the structural unit tends to be simple.
Age at Onset of Spinal Cord Injury is Associated with Increased Inpatient Care Needs, Reduced Independence at Discharge and a Higher Risk of Institutionalization after Primary Inpatient Rehabilitation
Authors: Keusen Patricia , Vuilliomenet Thierry , Friedli Manuela , Widmer Mario
Published: October 2022

Objective: To investigate the influence of age at onset of spinal cord injury on length of stay, inpatient therapy and nursing hours, independence at discharge and risk of institutionalization.Design: Retrospective cohort study.Participants: A total of 250 patients with a newly acquired traumatic or non-traumatic spinal cord injury undergoing primary inpatient rehabilitation in a Swiss spinal cord injury specialized clinic between 2017 and 2019.Methods: Multiple regression analysis was used to determine if age, in addition to clinical characteristics (co-morbidities, secondary complications and spinal cord injury severity), affects inpatient rehabilitation parameters (length of stay, daily nursing hours and daily therapy hours), independence at discharge (Spinal Cord Independence Measure III) and place of discharge (private residence vs institution).Results: Chronological age correlated with the number of co-morbidities and secondary complications. Older age was associated with increased daily nursing care and reduced independence at discharge. However, both were also influenced by co-morbidities, secondary complications and severity of spinal cord injury. Length of stay and daily therapy hours were age-independent. Odds for institutionalization after discharge increased significantly, by 1.03-fold per year of age.Conclusion: Age at onset of spinal cord injury predicted inpatient nursing care, independence at discharge and the risk of institutionalization after primary inpatient rehabilitation. Co-morbidities, secondary complications and severity of spinal cord injury were also important influencing factors.
LAY ABSTRACTThe age at which people have a spinal cord injury is increasing, and there has been a shift from traumatic towards more non-traumatic causes, particularly at an advanced age. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of age at onset of spinal cord injury on the inpatient rehabilitation process and on independence at discharge. A total of 250 patients, with a median age of 57.0 years, undergoing primary inpatient rehabilitation in a Swiss spinal cord injury specialized clinic were included in the study. Older age was associated with a higher number of co-morbidities and more secondary complications. Age significantly predicted daily nursing hours, but not length of stay or daily therapy hours. Moreover, older age was associated with reduced independence at discharge and increased the risk of institutionalization after discharge. In addition to age, co-morbidities, secondary complications and severity of spinal cord injury were important influencing factors.
Art keeps us in and with the World: Gert Biesta in Conversation with Lisbet Skregelid
Authors: Biesta Gert J. J. , Skregelid Lisbet
Published: October 2022

This chapter is a conversation between Lisbet Skregelid and Gert J. J. Biesta. The point of departures are texts by Biesta that touch upon issues related to art and art education. In the conversation, Biesta tells about his concerns and worries about art and also education disappearing from art education. He refers to how art in education tend to be justified because of its usefulness for something else, and also how art sometimes becomes both too child – and student-centered focusing on expression and emergence and also too curriculum centered. Biesta proposes a world centered education that is holding the child in what he calls the middle ground as a place where human existence in and with the world can take place. He argues that art can offer qualities of interruption, of suspension and sustenance, thereby demonstrating the educative power of the arts.
Sett utenfra: Kunst og den nordkoreanske grunnskolen
Authors: Pedersen Jørund Føreland
Published: October 2022

This chapter provides insight into aspects of the North Korean educational system, focusing on teaching visual art subjects in pre-school and primary school. What types of artistic practices are emphasized and valued in the school system and why? How is the individual vs. the collective represented, and in what way can art education be seen as instrumental in the context of a totalitarian society? These questions have been motivating factors in this project and have been explored through the lens of Gert Biesta’s critique of an individual-oriented teaching practice by implementing a narrative inquiry, based on the author’s photographic art project undertaken in North Korea and Norway, as well as through observations of art education in primary schools in Pyongyang. These observations are in large part dependent on what the government wishes to present to the “outsider”. The observations took place mainly in the capital city of Pyongyang, often considered a model city for the country. The article argues that the examples presented perhaps can be seen as a form of “best practice” in the views of the North Korean educational system.
Den indre puls: Betydningen av temporær musikkutøving gjennom det analoge og digitale
Authors: Igland Marius Lønskog
Published: October 2022

Humans are the only primates that make music, and thus collective music-making through singing and dancing embodies fundamental ways of behaving in human societies. This article investigates the division between analogue and digital instruments, and how a new dichotomy between temporal- and non-temporal music-making is changing musicking. Using quantization, the digital revolution of music has created a new form of non-temporal music-making that is separating the link between the inner pulse and the external musical soundscape. This has two major consequences; it affects how individuals interact with music through synchronized consciousness and body, and how humans interact with others through music-making. A small alteration in the way humans interact with musical material is generating a big shift away from the origins of music as a functioning tool for experiencing how one exists in the world. The potential of temporal music-making through both digital and analogue instruments is providing a space to exist as subjects, in dialogue with the world, where musical and existential relationships work as one.
Når kunsten tar over: Betydningen av kunst som overordnet prinsipp i skolen
Authors: Skregelid Lisbet
Published: October 2022

This chapter examines what art as an overarching principle can be in a contemporary school context. The starting point is radical ideas presented by the Norwegian educator and psychologist Helga Eng in her book Kunstpædagogik from 1918. In the book, Eng argues in favor of a primary position for art in schools, including everything from the way teachers teach to the aesthetic environment in school. In this chapter, Eng’s extensive work is viewed in relation to the role of art in today’s school and society. The chapter examines the connections between Eng’s premises for art as an overarching principle and contemporary theoretical perspectives on art and education. The study contributes to an ongoing exploration of what the author terms a pedagogy of dissensus, wherein the disturbing, unforeseen and affective characteristics of art are used as approaches to education. In this chapter, art, and thus dissensus, is suggested as an overall principle in school. The chapter presents four areas that are important in relation to how this can be realized: the importance of the teacher’s teaching and time, the importance of resistance, the importance of sensory approaches to teaching and the importance of affect. In particular, the role of the teacher and teacher-education is addressed. Examples from recent research involving teaching students and pupils in primary school taking part in an art workshop in the context of the public arts program known as “the cultural school bag” (Den kulturelle skolesekken) are used in the discussion.
Nullpunktet?
Authors: Svingen–Austestad Anna
Published: October 2022

How does art produce subjectivity, and does art always work for a better production of subjectivity? With an outset in an ethnographic study and participatory observation of youth encountering practices of contemporary art in upper secondary school, the article introduces Félix Guattari’s concepts regarding serial and singular processes of subjectivation, passages from territory to deterritorialization, and the role the poetic function plays in the production of subjectivity. As the study indicates, poetic practices involved in the production of subjectivity can work for better or worse. In other words, art cannot be immediately beneficial for democracy, the environment, or individual or collective mental health and wellbeing; yet the methods and processes of art are disruptive, allowing for the possibility of subjectivation.
«Det er jo viktig, men det er ikke så lett å få til.» En undersøkelse av sangens plass i grunnskolen
Authors: Beckmann Hege Bjørnestøl , Christensen Jorun
Published: October 2022

The purpose of the article is to examine singing in Norwegian primary schools. Through a schematic overview of the singing activity at ten schools in Agder and qualitative interviews with teachers and school management, we focus on the following question: How is singing used in today’s schools, and what are the teachers’ arguments for implementing or not implementing singing activities? As a theoretical framework, we present singing in educational contexts in Norway from a historical and contemporary perspective and present relevant theories related to the concepts of “formation” and “community music”. The results show that singing activity varies from school to school, decreasing when students get older. The results also show that teachers find it essential to conduct singing activities as a part of the educational courses, but challenges associated with the teachers’ own singing skills and choice of repertoire leave the teachers feeling insecure when carrying out the activity.
Et møde med ”Cleos fremtid”: Teater som performativ læringsarena
Authors: Knudsen Kristian N.
Published: October 2022

In this chapter, the author examines how the performance Cleo’s future creates performative learning processes in the audience’s experience of the stage performance. In the performance, we meet 14-year-old Cleo, who invites five guests to a conversation about her future. Performative learning processes are oriented towards what seems meaningful to the student/participant, and the body is part of this knowledge process (Østern & Knudsen, 2021). Through a diffractive analysis of two situations from the performance and through the concepts middle ground, which I take from Gert Biesta (2018), as well as intra-action and agency (Barad, 2007; Juelskjær, 2019), I bring a wealth of connections, of both a human and non-human nature, into the analysis of the performance. Finally, I discuss how performative learning processes in the encounter with theater can facilitate dialogue with and about the world.

Las universidades del mundo en el año 2019 tuvieron que hacer frente al problema de continuar las actividades escolares a distancia debido a la emergencia sanitaria por covid-19. A la fecha, se siguen evaluando los resultados y el impacto que dejó en los estudiantes el cambio tan brusco de modalidad. Por lo anterior, este trabajo planteó como objetivo identificar los factores que influyen en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes universitarios al pasar de la modalidad presencial a la modalidad a distancia durante la contingencia sanitaria por covid-19. La metodología fue descriptiva y cuantitativa de tipo predictiva; se aplicó un cuestionario a 247 alumnos, se realizaron correlaciones para conocer las variables de mayor impacto, se elaboró un modelo por el método de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios. En los resultados se encontró que las variables que influyen en aumentar el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes fueron el uso de Google Classroom (0.015), videoconferencia (0.238), recursos didácticos (0.248), acceso a páginas web (0.238), videos (0.234), preguntas dirigidas (0.228), participación en chat (0.187), pizarra digital (0.268), cumplimiento de objetivos (0.009) y evaluación en línea (0.009); se encontró que los mensajes a través de una plataforma educativa influyen de forma negativa en el rendimiento académico (-0.023). Se concluye que las autoridades académicas deben gestionar la capacitación y el uso de recursos tecnológicos educativos (Google Classroom, videoconferencia, recursos didácticos, acceso a páginas web, videos, chat y pizarra digital) para favorecer el proceso de enseñanza y el rendimiento académico.
Dos Projetos Genoma à Covid-19: o papel da ciência aberta e colaborativa

Quase um século separa a pandemia da “gripe espanhola” (1918) da de Covid-19, infecção respiratória causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, inicialmente denominado “novo coronavírus”. Apesar do aumento do conhecimento em áreas como virologia, imunologia, biologia molecular, patologia, ciências biomédicas e medicina, o novo coronavírus representa um desafio enfrentado apenas durante a pandemia de influenza. Milhares de cientistas trabalham para decifrar diversos aspectos desconhecidos dessa nova doença, da estrutura molecular viral à epidemiologia, dos mecanismos moleculares da infecção aos modelos matemáticos de transmissão. Cientistas de todo o mundo publicaram milhares de artigos científicos a respeito da Covid-19 em menos de um ano. No “I Ciclo Ciência Viva”, apresentei algumas ideias sobre como a comunidade científica global se adaptou de maneira rápida à nova realidade que a pandemia impôs e como os eventos científicos dos últimos 100 anos a preparam para isso.
Inteligência de sinais no Estado Novo: ciência e tecnologia aplicadas à intercepção telefônica
Authors: Albuquerque Neto Salustiano Cavalcanti de
Published: October 2022

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar o trânsito do conhecimento sobre inteligência de sinais, com foco em interceptação telefônica, utilizado pela polícia política brasileira estruturada a partir da Revolução de 1930, durante o primeiro governo do presidente Getúlio Vargas. Não demonstradas, em face da não localização de documentos comprobatórios, as participações do meio acadêmico e de agências policiais e de inteligência estrangeiras no trânsito desse conhecimento, a pesquisa centrou-se em duas hipóteses, cuja análise está direcionada aos documentos localizados em arquivos públicos e privados. A primeira, de que o conhecimento sobre interceptação telefônica teria transitado dos campos de batalha da primeira guerra mundial na Europa, sendo transmitido pela Missão Militar Francesa ao Exército Brasileiro, que o teria repassado à polícia política nos anos 1930. A segunda, de que empresas de telefonia teriam colaborado com a polícia política, o que ficou demonstrado através do processo criminal 4057, localizado no Arquivo Público do Rio Grande do Sul.
The historian in the pandemic: what has been done about the history of nonconventional medicine in epidemics?
Authors: Waisse Silvia
Published: October 2022

From governments to the general public, one may ask about the possible contributions of historians, if any, to the understanding and management of global disasters, as e.g. the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Given the confuse situation at the onset of the pandemic in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, a look into past experience with nonconventional medicine seemed relevant. In the present study I surveyed secondary literature on the role of Chinese medicine, Āyurveda, and homeopathy over time. The quantitative results were disappointing: nothing on Āyurveda, and one single study each on Chinese medicine and homeopathy. The quality of the former compensates for the numerical short age. The case of homeopathy is rather sui generis, since this medical system was born and blossomed during epidemics and pandemics. I conclude with a short comment on reference sources, which might serve as point of departure for future studies of Āyurveda in epidemics.
