Monitoring snowpack outflow volumes and their isotopic composition to better understand streamflow generation during rain-on-snow events
Authors: Rücker Andrea , Boss Stefan , Kirchner James W. , von Freyberg Jana
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Rain-on-snow (ROS) events in mountainous catchments can
cause enhanced snowmelt, leading to an increased risk of destructive winter floods. However, due
to differences in topography and forest cover, the generation of snowpack
outflow volumes and their contribution to streamflow are spatially and
temporally variable during ROS events. In order to adequately predict such
flood events with hydrological models, an enhanced process understanding of
the contribution of rainwater and snowmelt to stream water is needed. In this study, we monitored and sampled snowpack outflow with
fully automated snowmelt lysimeter systems installed at three different
elevations in a pre-Alpine catchment in central Switzerland. We measured
snowpack outflow volumes during the winters of 2017 and 2018, as well as
snowpack outflow isotopic compositions in winter 2017. Snowpack outflow
volumes were highly variable in time and space, reflecting differences in
snow accumulation and melt. In winter 2017, around 815 mm of snowpack
outflow occurred at our reference site (grassland 1220 m a.s.l. – metres above sea level), whereas snowpack outflow was 16 % less at the nearby forest site
(1185 m a.s.l.), and 62 % greater at another grassland site located
200 m higher (1420 m a.s.l.). A detailed analysis of 10 ROS events showed
that the differences in snowpack outflow volumes could be explained mainly
by rainfall volumes and initial snow depths. The isotope signals of snowpack outflow were more damped than those of
incoming rainwater at all three sites, with the most damped signal at the
highest elevation site because its snowpack was the thickest and the
residence times of liquid water in its snowpack were the longest, thus
enhancing isotopic mixing in the snowpack. The contribution of snowpack
outflow to streamflow, estimated with an isotope-based two-component
end-member mixing model, differed substantially among the three lysimeter
sites (i.e. between 7±4 and 91±21 %). Because the
vegetation in our study catchment is a mixture of grassland and forest, with
elevations ranging from 1000 to 1500 m a.s.l., our site-specific hydrograph
separation estimates can only provide a range of snowpack outflow
contributions to discharge from different parts of the study area. Thus, the
catchment-average contribution of snowpack outflow to stream discharge is
likely to lie between the end-member mixing estimates derived from the three
site-specific data sets. This information may be useful for improving
hydrological models in snow-dominated catchments.
2-D finite displacements and strain from particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) analysis of tectonic analogue models with TecPIV
Authors: Boutelier David , Schrank Christoph , Regenauer-Lieb Klaus
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Image correlation techniques have provided new ways to analyse the distribution of deformation in analogue models of tectonics in space and time. Here, we demonstrate, using a new version of our software package (TecPIV), how the correlation of successive time-lapse images of a deforming model allows not only to evaluate the components of the strain-rate tensor at any time in the model but also to calculate the finite displacements and finite strain tensor. We illustrate with synthetic images how the algorithm produces maps of the velocity gradients, small-strain tensor components, incremental or instantaneous principal strains and maximum shear. The incremental displacements can then be summed up with Eulerian or Lagrangian summation, and the components of the 2-D finite strain tensor can be calculated together with the finite principal strain and maximum finite shear. We benchmark the measures of finite displacements using specific synthetic tests for each summation mode. The deformation gradient tensor is calculated from the deformed state and decomposed into the finite rigid-body rotation and left or right finite-stretch tensors, allowing the deformation ellipsoids to be drawn. The finite strain has long been the only quantified measure of strain in analogue models. The presented software package allows producing these finite strain measures while also accessing incremental measures of strain. The more complete characterisation of the deformation of tectonic analogue models will facilitate the comparison with numerical simulations and geological data and help produce conceptual mechanical models.
Submarine melt as a potential trigger of the North East Greenland Ice Stream margin retreat during Marine Isotope Stage 3
Authors: Tabone Ilaria , Robinson Alexander , Alvarez-Solas Jorge , Montoya Marisa
Published: July 2019

Abstract. The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) has been suffering a significant ice mass loss during the last decades. This is partly due to increasing oceanic temperatures in the subpolar North Atlantic, which enhance submarine basal melting and mass discharge. This demonstrates the high sensitivity of this region to oceanic changes. In addition, a recent study suggested that the NEGIS grounding line was 20–40 km behind its present-day location for 15 ka during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. This is in contrast with Greenland temperature records indicating cold atmospheric conditions at that time, expected to favour ice-sheet expansion. To explain this anomalous retreat a combination of atmospheric and external forcings has been invoked. Yet, as the ocean is found to be a primary driver of the ongoing retreat of the NEGIS glaciers, the effect of past oceanic changes in their paleo evolution cannot be ruled out and should be explored in detail. Here we investigate the sensitivity of the NEGIS to the oceanic forcing during the last glacial period using a three-dimensional hybrid ice-sheet–shelf model. We find that a sufficiently high oceanic forcing could account for a NEGIS ice-margin retreat of several tens of kilometres, potentially explaining the recently proposed NEGIS grounding-line retreat during Marine Isotope Stage 3.
Distinguishing ice-rich and ice-poor permafrost to map ground temperatures and ground ice occurrence in the Swiss Alps
Authors: Kenner Robert , Noetzli Jeannette , Hoelzle Martin , Raetzo Hugo , Phillips Marcia
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Mountain permafrost is invisible, and mapping it is still
a challenge. Available permafrost distribution maps often overestimate the
permafrost extent and include large permafrost-free areas in their
permafrost zonation. In addition, the representation of the lower belt of
permafrost consisting of ice-rich features such as rock glaciers or ice-rich
talus slopes can be challenging. These problems are caused by considerable
differences in genesis and thermal characteristics between ice-poor
permafrost, occurring for example in rock walls, and ice-rich permafrost.
While ice-poor permafrost shows a strong correlation of ground temperature
with elevation and potential incoming solar radiation, ice-rich ground does
not show such a correlation. Instead, the distribution of ice-rich ground is
controlled by gravitational processes such as the relocation of ground ice
by permafrost creep or by ground ice genesis from avalanche deposits or
glacierets covered with talus. We therefore developed a mapping method which distinguishes between ice-poor
and ice-rich permafrost and tested it for the entire Swiss Alps. For
ice-poor ground we found a linear regression formula based on elevation and
potential incoming solar radiation which predicts borehole ground
temperatures at multiple depths with an accuracy higher than 0.6 ∘C. The zone of ice-rich permafrost was defined by modelling the deposition
zones of alpine mass wasting processes. This dual approach allows the
cartographic representation of permafrost-free belts, which are bounded
above and below by permafrost. This enables a high quality of permafrost
modelling, as is shown by the validation of our map. The dominating
influence of the two rather simple connected factors, elevation (as a proxy
for mean annual air temperature) and solar radiation, on the distribution of
ice-poor permafrost is significant for permafrost modelling in different
climate conditions and regions. Indicating temperatures of ice-poor
permafrost and distinguishing between ice-poor and ice-rich permafrost on a
national permafrost map provides new information for users.
Late Whitman: Critical Pasts, Critical Futures
Authors: Vander Zee Anton
Published: July 2019

Whitman worked on his Leaves of Grass into his final decade, excluding his last, hybrid collections of poetry and prose from the pages of Leaves proper. These works, representing his final decade of poetic productivity, were bound with the rest, but only as “annexes,” a move that captures the supplementary logic that defines Whitman's late work and governs its critical reception. When critics do not ignore Whitman's late poetry, they tend to regard it as echo or afterthought, as an increasingly conventional combination of attenuated affirmation and old-age complaint. Are these critical judgments justified? And what new stories might we be able to tell about Whitman in age? After reviewing the remarkably consistent neglect of Whitman's late work in the essay's first section, the second section documents a quiet effort at recovery that began in the mid-1970s. This recovery effort charts a course for a more nuanced and layered account of the poet's multifaceted and fittingly contradictory late work.

Alice Hoffman (b. 1952) is a best-selling American novelist, short-fiction writer, children's book author, and essayist. The Hoffman Papers contain personal and literary papers including literary manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, and other materials—physical and digital—associated with the work, life, and creative process of this prolific, successful, and celebrated author. Among the materials from the collection highlighted are the extensive typescript drafts, proofs, handwritten notes, and marked-up copy of Hoffman's published and unpublished work, and material associated with the business side of being a best-selling author. The article also highlights letters in the collection written to Hoffman from longtime friend and editor Faith Sale, influential editor and critic Ted Solotaroff, fellow writers John Irving and Penelope Lively, and a substantial correspondence between Hoffman and her mentor and professor at Stanford, Albert Guerard, and his wife, the author and critic Maclin Bocock Guerard.
The Afterlife of Uncle Tom
Authors: Halpern Faye
Published: July 2019

Uncle Tom's fall from grace took almost a century. Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) was immediately adapted into stage productions, which foregrounded Tom's humanity. But the high regard in which most people held Tom began to change in the late nineteenth century, when members of the Black audience began to see him as representative of an “Old Negro” type. The twentieth century multiplied the venues in which Tom appeared, but it also witnessed the further erosion of Tom into his present incarnation as an intraracial epithet. This is the story told by Adena Spingarn in her richly researched book, Uncle Tom: From Martyr to Traitor. Although Spingarn's book smooths out some of the interpretive lumps of Uncle Tom and Uncle Tom's Cabin, its simplifications are compensated for by the artifacts it unearths and the attention it pays to the reception of Uncle Tom by a changing Black audience.

Published: July 2019

Objective: Clinical judgement has long been an important component of safe and effective nursing care. However, despite extensive research being conducted in this area it remains difficult to articulate and observe clinical judgement in action. Nursing actions could reflect the characteristics of clinical judgement, yet this alignment has not previously been reported in the literature.Aim: The aim of the study was to identify whether the nursing actions performed could be aligned with the characteristics of clinical judgement.Methods: The setting for this study was a simulation laboratory housing a high-fidelity manikin in a large Australian university. The study used a descriptive method collecting both qualitative and quantitative data. Data was collected using a Multiple-Choice Questionnaire (MCQ), a checklist of nursing actions and associated characteristics of clinical judgement and post simulation interviews were audio recorded.Results: The nursing actions could be clearly aligned the 12 characteristics of clinical judgement. In this study it was difficult to differentiate between two of the characteristics: experiential knowledge and practical knowledge.Conclusions: Aligning the nursing actions to the characteristics of clinical judgement could assist in educating students to develop their clinical judgement. The use of aligning nursing actions to the characteristics could be a more accurate way of observing clinical judgement in action.

Published: July 2019

This study explores the underlying factors among SMEs that explain their intentions to use cloud accounting system in Malaysia. This study is motivated by the fact that SMEs are considered as significant economic players and an influential source of national and local economic growth. However, looking at high failure rate for Malaysian SMEs, more research should concern on supporting their business operation especially with regard to accounting or financial management. Based on the literature on this field as well as the concept in Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) this study establishes a conceptual model that incorporate additional perceived security to the original four explanatory variables of UTAUT: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating condition. Hence, this paper proposes a conceptual framework of a modified UTAUT model with factors towards user intention to use cloud accounting system in Malaysia.

We present a rigorous theory for oblique incident Hermite-Gaussian beams, diffracted by two optical nano-slits of width l and separation d, in a thick metallic screen for the case of polarization TM (P). The far field spectra as a function of several opto-geometrical parameters, wavelength λ , slit width l, separation d , incidence angle θi  and Hermite order m  is analyzed. In the vectorial diffraction region given when λ /l >0.2, where l is the incident wavelength and as a function of the separation between slits d; we have numerically analyzed: the far field spectra, the energy diffracted along the incident beam direction Ei , and the validity of an approximate diffraction (scalar) property, namely Ei= Ntao/lambda .

 
Relativistic Completion of Schrodinger’s Quantum Mechanics by the Ether Theory
Authors: Zareski David
Published: July 2019

One recalls that we have shown in our precedent publications that the ether is an elastic isotropic medium. One presents the exact equation and its non-relativistic approximation that govern the ether in presence of a Schwarzschild-Coulomb field to which is submitted a Par(m,e)  (particle of mass m  and of electric charge e ). We present the exact relativistic solution of this exact equation in the circular case. We prove that the Schrödinger equation is such a non-relativistic approximation, that is, is a particular case of the ether elasticity theory.

One recalls that the Schrödinger equation was obtained by the use of operators and not from the theory of elasticity. It follows that this manner of obtaining this equation from operators is arbitrary and does not permit to obtain its complete relativistic form, but permits to reach absurd conclusions as, e.g., the cat that, at the same moment, is alive and dead. One shows then that other results ensuing from the Schrödinger equation are particular cases of the non-relativistic equation that governs the elastic ether, like for example: the Bohr-Sommerfeld condition, and the eigenstates function equation.
Establishment and Characterization of a Lactating Caprine Mammary Gland Luminal Epithelial Cell Line
Authors: Singh Mahipal , Hortman Benjamin , Degala Venkata , Ma Xiaoling
Published: July 2019

Mammary gland is a defining characteristic of mammalian species which produces nutritious milk and plays a major role in the development of newborns. The gland contains a series of ducts and crevices leading back to alveoli, which contain milk producing cells called luminal epithelial cells. These cells, if cultured in-vitro, can be utilized to explore the metabolic processes occurring during milk production. The knowledge thus gained can be used to manipulate the system to enhance milk production and/or modify its composition. The main objective of this study was to establish a luminal epithelial cell-line from a lactating goat. Explant culture technique was used to produce primary cells from the mammary tissue of a 4-year-old lactating Saanen goat. The outgrowing cells were purified by selective trypsinization to remove fibroblast cells in 3-4 serial passages. The purified cell cultures exhibited cobblestone morphology, typical of the mammary epithelial cells, formed clear islands when plated in low density, and exhibited dome-shaped structures, if cultured for extended time. The cells stained positive with anti-human cytokeratin 18 antibodies, confirming their epithelial nature. Cell cultures also stained positive with rabbit anti-bovine β-lactoglobulin antibodies, indicating milk production in these cells. The cell-line has potential as an in-vitro cell model to understand signaling during milk synthesis, mammary gland development, and testing DNA constructs for therapeutic protein secretion in milk, prior to production of transgenic goats.

La investigación radica en aplicar en tres grupos/aula, diferentes estrategias pedagógicas. Finalizado el periodo de docencia, los tres grupos se exponen a una misma prueba de evaluación de conocimiento, lo que permite comparar los resultados entre grupos, según el método empleado. De los resultados obtenidos, se puede afirmar que el trabajo cooperativo guiado puede conseguir un adecuado rendimiento a nivel de adquisición de conocimientos teóricos en comparación con la clase magistral y el estudio memorístico. Al mismo tiempo, la evaluación formativa logra que los alumnos se impliquen mucho más en relación con sus responsabilidades personales, con una mejora en los procesos y resultados de aprendizaje. Por último, la percepción subjetiva del alumnado hacia estas estrategias pedagógicas es que son más positivas para su aprendizaje que las tradicionales. Incluso, llegan a considerar que los aprendizajes adquiridos presentan unas raíces más profundas, cuando los interiorizan mediante tareas que exigen trabajo cooperativo y evaluación formativa.
Identidad académica: una franquicia en construcción
Authors: Jiménez Peralta Maite Inés
Published: July 2019

El impacto que ejercen las universidades en el desarrollo de la sociedad cobra relevancia ante las expectativas de justicia y bien común a las que anhelan los ciudadanos. El modo en que estas instituciones se vinculan con una reflexión que favorezca la creación de nuevos modelos resulta una paradoja cuando, desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, se ha ido consolidando un capitalismo académico de la mano de una industria universitaria cuyo alcance pone en tensión un inacabado debate. Este artículo busca presentar el modo como se van construyendo identidades fragmentadas y en conflicto a partir de entrevistas realizadas a académicos. Ellos dan cuenta de la manera en que se apropian de este modelo para emerger y resignificar su posición frente a lo que ellos interpretan que significa ser un académico universitario. Cuatro repertorios articulan una identidad interpelada por racionalidades que los moldean y los organizan en una performatividad que los enajena y los termina desarraigando y convirtiendo en reproductores pasivos de modelos basados en indicadores de gestión. Urge incorporar al debate académico el modo como esta nueva forma de hacer universidad promueve un tejido social donde el rendimiento y la autogestión impregnan a los futuros profesionales, lo que fortalece modelos individualistas de sociedad que atentan contra el bienestar de sus miembros.

Published: July 2019

A partir de la necesidad de introducir la perspectiva de género en la docencia debido al vacío existente en la mayoría de estudios de grado en Cataluña (España), sobre todo en Ciencias de la Salud y Psicología, se diseñó una oferta formativa de talleres. En ella se consideró básico introducir la perspectiva de género, tanto a nivel de contenido como metodológico. En este artículo se explora el relevante papel que la introducción de metodologías y pedagogías feministas puede tener en el aumento de la calidad de la docencia a partir de dicha experiencia a través de narrativas colectivas de personas formadoras y participantes. Estas narrativas fueron construidas a partir de cinco grupos de discusión, con un total de 20 personas en la muestra que fueron seleccionadas a partir de criterios de variabilidad y representatividad. Las dos narrativas visibilizan los procesos que se vivieron en los talleres y las transformaciones que plantea la integración de metodologías y pedagogías feministas en la construcción compartida del conocimiento. La principal conclusión que se extrae de ello es que la introducción de metodologías y epistemologías feministas permite reflexionar críticamente sobre nuestras prácticas como formadoras y estudiantes en la reproducción de las relaciones de poder de género en y fuera del aula para devenir sujetos activos de cambio.
A APAIXONADA EXALTAÇÃO DA FIGURA DE SÓCRATES POR MEIO DO LOGOS DE ALCIBÍADES NO BANQUETE DE PLATÃO.
Authors: Silva João Raniery
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo pretende analisar o discurso de Alcibíades no diálogo platônico Banquete, evidenciando a forma apaixonada que o discípulo exalta a figura do mestre. Partindo de sua enigmática chegada no simpósio, presença cheia de significados, procura refletir sobre o seu plano discursivo em que acorda não elogiar a um deus, como fizera os demais convivas, mas a construção discursiva de um encômio a um homem em especial, sábio e justo, personificação mesma do erotismo pedagogicamente instruído: Sócrates. Depois da celebração desse acordo que quebra o linear caminho argumentativo do discurso, busca perceber os elementos elogiosos suplantados no referido logos, que versa a respeito das capacidades físicas, morais e intelectuais de Sócrates. Com efeito, é possível encontrar um quadro significativamente importante montado por um discípulo (Alcibíades), fazendo uso até mesmo de imagens como a dos Silenos e dos sátiros Mársias, figuras camufladoras que mostram a contradição entre realidade exterior e realidade interior, com o substancial objetivo de exaltar seu admirado mestre (Sócrates) dando-lhe características atópicas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Éros. Banquete. Filosofia. Elogio. Paixão. ABSTRACT The present article will be analyzed in the speech of Alcibades in the platonic dialogue The Banquet, evidencing a passionate form that the learner exalts the figure of the máster: Socrates. Starting from its enigmatic no symposium, presence full of meanings, seeks to reflect on its discursive plan in what follows is not to praise a god, as the other guests had done, but a discursive construction of an encumbrance to a man in particular, wise and fair, personification same of pedagogically learned eroticism: Socrates. After the celebration of this agreement that breaks the linear argumentative path of discourse, seeks to perceive the complimentary elements supplanted in said logos, which deals with the physical, moral and intellectual capacities of Socrates. In fact, it is possible to find a significantly important picture mounted by a disciple (Alcibiades), making use even of images like the one of Silenos and the satyrs Mársias, camouflage figures that show the contradiction between outer reality and inner reality, with the substantial aim of extolling his admired teacher (Socrates) by giving him atopic characteristics. KEY-WORDS: Éros.

PLATÃO E A APRENDIZAGEM DO OLHAR EM JOÃO GUIMARÃES ROSA
Authors: Costa Filho João Batista
Published: July 2019

RESUMOGuimarães Rosa foi o escritor que, como poucos, soube explorar as potencialidades do olhar na experiência de seus personagens para que estes criassem, a partir daí, um universo simbólico para a renovação de si mesmos e do mundo que os cerca. O aprendizado do olhar em Rosa pode ser comparado com o processo em que o prisioneiro, na alegoria da caverna, liberta-se, e sucessivamente passa de um estado de ignorância, em que via apenas o ilusório e o aparente, para a visão das formas puras e inteligíveis. Platão compara o sol com a forma do Bem. Um texto do escritor mineiro ilustra esse aprendizado do olhar em paralelo com a visão platônica: a novela Campo geral. Nela, o personagem central é uma criança míope de oito anos que, num processo de descoberta do mundo, renova o seu olhar a cada momento, a exemplo do prisioneiro liberto da alegoria da caverna. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Guimarães Rosa. Platão. Olhar. Campo geral. ABSTRACTGuimarães Rosa was the author who, as few, knew how to exploit the look potentialities in his character’s experiences to enable them to create, from then on, the symbolic universe for the renewal of themselves and the world around. The learning of the look in Guimarães Rosa can be compared with the process where the prisioner, in the allegory in the cave, releases himself, and successively goes from an ignorance state, when he could only saw the illusory and apparent, to the intelligible and pure forms. Plato compares the sun with the Good forms. A specific text of the mineiro writer illustrates this learning of the look in parallel with the platonic vision: the Campo geral novel. Its main character is an eight-years-old shortsighted child who, in his world discovery proccess, renews his outlooks at each moment, at is done by prisioner released from the allegory of the cave.  KEY-WORDS: Guimarães Rosa.

O PIRRONISMO E AS PAIXÕES: ENTRE A INDIFERENÇA E A ATARAXIA
Authors: Pettersen Bruno
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é examinar a temática das paixões no interior do Pirronismo antigo, especialmente nas figuras de Pirro e Sexto Empírico. Tal questão é controversa em um debate sobre o ceticismo antigo, em especial, porque essa corrente não pode dispor de uma teoria das paixões, dado que elas nada afirmam sobre o mundo. Entretanto, é possível falar que o cético manifesta sentimentos, ainda que de uma maneira não teórica? Para investigarmos essa nuance, passaremos pela vida de Pirro – conforme descrita por Diógenes Laércio – e pelo Esboços do Pirronismo de Sexto Empírico, em busca de uma reflexão acerca das paixões no interior do ceticismo pirrônico.PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Pirro. Sexto Empírico. Paixões. Ceticismo. Diógenes Laércio. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to examine the passions within the ancient Pyrrhonism, especially in the figures of Pyrrho and Sextus Empiricus. This question is controversial in a debate about ancient skepticism, especially because the skeptics cannot have a theory of passions, since they claim nothing about the world. However, is it possible to speak that the skeptic expresses feelings, albeit in a non-theoretical way? To examine this question, we will go through the life of Pyrrhus - as described by Diogenes Laertius – and we will examine the Outlines of Scepticism by Sextus Empiricus in search of a reflection on the passions within the Pyrrhonic skepticism.KEY-WORDS: Pyrrho. Sixth Empiricus. Passions. Skepticism. Diogenes Laertius.
O BELO ENQUANTO ESPLENDOR DO UM NO TRATADO I, 6 DE PLOTINO
Authors: Leonardi Vinícius José Henrique da Costa
Published: July 2019

A partir do tratado Sobre o Belo (I, 6), de Plotino, é discutida no presente artigo a afinidade entre as vias estética e intelectiva como modo de acesso à união com o Um. Para tanto, propomos que o Belo seja entendido como um esplendor do Um, ou seja, como o que se manifesta concomitante e dependente do Um, atraindo para este o olhar daquele que empreende a ascensão filosófica. Assim, procuramos demonstrar que o Belo se fundamenta na intelecção da unidade, e que a ascensão ao Um é tanto estética quanto intelectiva.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Estética. Alma. Experiência mística. Ascensão. Plotino. From the treaty On Beauty (I 6), by Plotinus, the affinity between the aesthetic and intellectual paths as a way of accessing the union with the One is discussed in this article. For that, we propose that the Beauty be understood as a splendor of the One, that is to say, as that one who manifests concomitant and dependent on the One, attracting to the latter the look of one who undertakes the philosophical ascension. Thus, we seek to demonstrate that the Beauty is based on the intellection of unity, and that the ascension to the One is both aesthetic and intellectual. Keywords: aesthetic; soul; mystical experience; ascension; Plotinus.
AS PAIXÕES EM PLUTARCO: O PAPEL DO SILÊNCIO NA CURA DA TAGARELICE.
Authors: Freitas Vanderley Nascimento
Published: July 2019

Plutarco de Queroneia (45-125), maior expoente do médio platonismo, é autor de uma vasta obra, cujos textos conservados foram divididos em dois grandes grupos, as Vidas Paralelas (Bioi Paralleloi) e as Obras Morais (Moralia). Interessa-nos aqui examinar os vários âmbitos em que é possível reconhecer uma reflexão acerca das paixões em Plutarco, inserindo-a na busca pela boa vida preconizado pelo filósofo, a fim de evidenciar os caminhos para a cura de um páthos em particular: a tagarelice. No presente artigo, examinaremos mais de perto quatro tratados do corpus de Plutarco, a saber, Sobre a Tagarelice, Como Ouvir, O Banquete dos Sete Sábios e Das Doenças da Alma e do Corpo: quais as mais nefastas? Entrevendo o horizonte do bem viver, buscaremos mostrar como o filósofo faz com que o silêncio emerja como um ingrediente particular ao se pensar no tratamento de uma alma flagelada pelas paixões. Buscaremos, ainda, trazer à luz as fontes do pensamento antigo nas quais Plutarco se inspira, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao tema relacionado às paixões.ABSTRACTPlutarch of Chaeronea (45-125), the highest exponent of Middle Platonism, is the author of a vast work, whose conserved texts were divided into two great groups, the Parallel lives (Bioi Paralleloi) and the Moral works (Moralia). We are here interested in examine the various fields in which it is possible to recognize a reflection upon the passions in Plutarch, inserting it in the search for the good life recommended by the philosopher, in order to highlight the ways for the healing of a particular pathos: the chatter. In the present article, we will look over more closely four treatises on Plutarch's corpus, namely, On talkativeness, On listening to lectures, Dinner of the seven wise men and Whether the affections of the soul are worse than those of the body. Glimpsing the horizon of well-being, we shall try to show how the philosopher makes silence emerge as a particular ingredient in thinking about the treatment of a soul plagued by passions. We will also try to bring to light the sources of ancient thought in which Plutarch inspired himself, above all regarding the theme related to the passions.KEYWORDS: Plutarch. Passions. Ethic.

Manejo florestal comunitário na Amazônia: comparação entre um modelo introduzido e a extração ilegal de madeira
Authors: Waldhoff Philippe , Vidal Edson
Published: July 2019

A extração de pequenas quantidades de madeira faz parte dos meios de vida de diversas comunidades tradicionais na Amazônia. A exigência da licença ambiental trouxe enormes desafios para seus protagonistas, colocando muitos em uma situação de clandestinidade. Foi comparada a situação entre extratores que adotaram as regras formais do plano de manejo florestal e os que permaneceram extraindo de forma convencional. Foram realizadas entrevistas e análise documental. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se a base conceitual dos meios de vida sustentáveis, estatística descritiva e testes de análise de variâncias. A extração de madeira com plano de manejo florestal apresentou melhores resultados em relação ao capital natural e piores em relação ao capital financeiro e físico. Concluiu-se que a adoção das regras do manejo florestal sustentável contribui para a conservação da floresta e das espécies manejadas, mas levaram à irregularidade da renda e a dependência financeira de agentes externos.
O olhar da assistência social na construção da política indigenista no Brasil
Authors: Niedermayer Natália Raquel , Roesler Marli
Published: July 2019

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar elementos sobre a construção da política indigenista no Brasil, com ênfase no município de Guaíra-PR, aproximando avanços e contradições marcadas por resistências e lutas históricas e atuais dos povos indígenas como o direito ao território, à demarcação da terra, de proteção às culturas tradicionais de diversas etnias e respeito ao protagonismo que lhe é inerente e inalienável. Nessa realidade, que suscita a observação de categorias próprias e intervenções no movimento da sociabilidade e do mundo humano, de defesa de igualdades e não violações de direitos numa perspectiva universalista, se insere a intervenção da(o) profissional assistente social, corresponsável pela leitura crítica, propositiva e alternativa às políticas sociais no movimento histórico e quotidiano, de mediações que se diferenciam de práticas integracionistas, tutelares e desiguais, materializadas e instrumentalizadas na política indigenista no Brasil.
Aquífero Guarani: Diagnóstico tridimensional do direito às águas subterrâneas
Authors: Cecconello Edieter Luiz
Published: July 2019

Esse estudo reorganizou o debate sobre o Aquífero Guarani, usando a metodologia tridimensional do jurista Miguel Reale, compreendendo as categorias fato, norma e valor. Reforçando esse método, foram acrescentadas contribuições pontuais da teoria da tragédia dos comuns, da teoria da sociedade de risco e da teoria da sociedade anárquica de Estados, que auxiliaram na descrição dos aspectos valorativos, fatuais e sociais do tema. Como resultado, esse estudo reforçou a importância do olhar interdisciplinar sobre o Aquífero Guarani, enfatizando o princípio da sustentabilidade ambiental.

“O planejamento regional brasileiro pós-Constituição Federal de 1988: instituições, políticas e atores”, de autoria de Simone Affonso da Silva – geógrafa e mestre em Geografia Humana pela Universidade de São Paulo (USP) –, constitui, sob vários aspectos, uma obra ousada. Primeiramente porque, embora se proponha a uma análise de tema amplamente debatido – qual seja, o planejamento regional brasileiro, com ênfase no período posterior à promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988 –, o livro a faz sob o enfoque metodológico da Policy Analysis, menos recorrentemente utilizado para o exame das políticas públicas de cunho regional.
