Authors: Rodrigues Noelli Nara , Silva Ricardo Dias
Published: January 2025

This article presents a study of multi-story buildings in the Wood Frame construction system, implemented in the state of Paraná. The objective is to evaluate the referred construction system from the point of view of the user in multifamily social interest housing. The study started from two methodological approaches: Literature review and the case study through post-occupancy evaluation – POE. The POE was applied in two buildings located in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, using the following tools: interviews with intervening agents and questionnaires applied to users, aiming to characterize the object, understand its operation and recognize the residents perception of quality and performance of their housing unit. The requirements were: luminous comfort, thermal comfort, acoustic comfort, maintenance and spatial analysis of the apartments. The results demonstrate that the performance in use of multifamily buildings in Wood Frame is satisfactory, although there are non-conformities recurring, reported by users, with regard to acoustic, thermal and maintenance performance.
Análise comparativa dos esforços e papéis de governo na adoção do BIM no Brasil e em países pioneiros
Authors: Zapp Luciana Ormond , Magalhães Rachel Madeira , Scheer Sergio
Published: January 2025

A adoção do Building Information Modeling (BIM) na contratação de projetos e obras de construção civil está se tornando uma exigência mundial, tanto no setor público quanto no privado. Alguns países já apresentam avanços nesse processo, sendo atualmente exemplos aos demais em desenvolvimento, como no caso do Brasil, que está iniciando a fase de implementação com a disposição da Nova Estratégia BIM BR, publicada junto ao Decreto nº11.888/24. O objetivo desse estudo é analisar, a partir de uma pesquisa exploratória baseada em referencial teórico, como ocorreu a disseminação do BIM em alguns países pioneiros, como: Reino Unido, Singapura e Estados Unidos da América, identificando os papéis assumidos nas iniciativas governamentais, e comparar com o processo que está acontecendo no Brasil. Este artigo demonstra que o governo federal brasileiro está atuando em todos os papéis necessários, alavancando o uso do BIM nas contratações de obras públicas, porém, em um processo mais lento do que os países referencias. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo visa promover um roteiro de esforços e papéis que os governos, em todas as esferas, devem seguir para que atinjam a adoção do BIM com êxito, em concordância com o artigo titulado “Perspectivas de implementação do BIM no Brasil e o caso do estado do Paraná”, que expõe o processo de implantação e implementação do BIM no Brasil. Os dois artigos são complementares e têm como objetivo principal auxiliar autoridades governamentais a desenvolverem políticas de difusão do BIM.
Métodos e ferramentas para mapeamento de danos de edificações históricas em BIM: uma revisão sistemática da literatura
Authors: Ramos João Daniel Silva , Groetelaars Natalie Johanna , Santos Larissa Corrêa Acatauassú Nunes
Published: January 2025

The intervention design in heritage buildings requires recognition of the object in various spheres: historic, artistic, architectural and diagnostic. It is in this last stage that the damage map is produced, a documentation that summarizes in graphic form, the conservation state of architectural surfaces. Mostly, the damage map is produced in drawing editors through orthographic views of the building, in a method that is not very automated nor systematized, allowing errors and ambiguity of information. In consonance with the emergence of many studies, experiments have been conducted to apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) in damage mapping for historical buildings, which can contribute to the visualization, accessibility, and consistency of information related to damage. In this sense, this article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the objective of gathering, classifying and discussing the methods and tools that have been used for damage mapping in the BIM context, considering articles available in specific databases, from 2012 to 2023. It can be concluded that even with the gaps identified in the experiments analyzed, such as the complexity of processes and long duration of the execution stages, the discussion on this subject has been growing in recent years, in search of more efficient and accurate methods, associated with optimized workflows.
Valorização de atributos sustentáveis em habitações multifamiliares em quatro cidades do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Maffini Júlia Oliveira , Grigoletti Giane de Campos
Published: January 2025

A construção civil, principal responsável pelo ambiente construído, gera grandes impactos ambientais. Como uma forma de incentivar a redução desses impactos, o mercado verde é uma importante estratégia. Contudo, é necessário investigar os consumidores e a sua preferência por produtos do mercado verde no setor da construção civil, para criar e fortalecer produtos voltados para esse mercado. O presente artigo tem o objetivo apresentar pesquisa encaminhada sobre a preferência e a valoração de moradores de quatro cidades do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Caxias do Sul, Passo Fundo, Pelotas e Santa Maria) em relação à presença de itens sustentáveis em empreendimentos habitacionais multifamiliares, buscando compreender se, no momento da escolha de um imóvel, eles consideram esses itens como quesitos determinantes para a decisão. O método baseou-se na aplicação de questionário junto a moradores das cidades citadas. Como resultados, observou-se que os atributos sustentáveis apresentados a eles não possuem prioridade. Os entrevistados apontaram área do imóvel, número de cômodos, vizinhança e posição da unidade habitacional em relação ao sol como fatores decisivos. Além disso, quanto à precificação, o fator mais relevante foram os materiais de acabamento. Dentre os itens considerados sustentáveis, os mais valorados foram aqueles que proporcionam redução no consumo de água e energia. Conclui-se que, para o grupo estudado, ainda não há a percepção da importância da construção civil para a sustentabilidade ambiental. Desta forma, é importante que a educação ambiental reforce o papel das edificações nos impactos ambientais da sociedade.

Pedagogia negativa do cinema: Primeiras aproximações
Authors: Peres Helga Caroline
Published: January 2025

Could the space of cinema at school be redefined toward an aesthetic-critical training guided by aesthetic experience and the re-education of the gaze? What gaze would this be? Why would he need to be “re-educated”? This study will address such issues by considering that the re-education of the gaze and the aesthetic experience, when considered as the telos of an aesthetic-formative orientation, can be thought of by negativity – or, in other words, within a negative pedagogy of cinema. This must find a place amidst the gaps in hegemonic school models, welcomed in the training actions that address the construction of essayistic pedagogical narratives in the classroom, giving vent to crises and intersubjective constructions by imagination and fantasy.

Composição e reencantamento do mundo
Authors: Gonçalves Luiz Eduardo , Costa Lucas Gabriel
Published: January 2025

The opening to world music was one, among many, ways out of the modernist crises or concerns of the beginning of the 20th century, and in turn must be problematized with the following question: will this tendency to absorb world music was just a way for composers to continue being precisely Western in their “tradition of rupture”, in which new appropriate materials are the fuel for other innovations, with an attitude that is still colonialist and not transformative? We try to reflect, based on an essay, on this issue in this work, placing the notions of rationality and intuition at the center of the discussion, having the work of Max Weber, and his interpreters, as the main source of methodological guidance and a flashlight that illuminates the path crooked for the answer.
Os pedagogos da regência: um diálogo com o Maestro Aylton Escobar, quarto ato
Authors: Lima Erickinson , Oliveira André
Published: January 2025

The interview series "Conducting Pedagogues" represents an initiative of significant importance in both academic and artistic realms, with its central purpose being to provide an immersion into the intricate dynamics of the conducting teaching and learning process. Its primary objective is to offer insights, with both practical and didactic-pedagogical nature, to young conductors in training, extracted from the life experiences of conducting professionals. It seeks to go beyond purely technical aspects by addressing a wide range of topics, encompassing not only musical matters but also extramusical ones such as administrative, logistical, and psychopedagogical aspects. In this context, the participation of the eminent Maestro Aylton Escobar plays a central role. With a rich and diverse trajectory as a Brazilian composer and conductor, Maestro Escobar has a vast experience and profound knowledge in the field of music. His participation in the interview series offers not only an opportunity to explore his contributions and achievements but also to benefit from his unique perspectives on conducting, as outlined in the academic scope of the present text.
Continuidades Carnavalescas: algumas agremiações e suas confluências
Authors: Borges Thiago de Souza
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo discute a criação e/ou permanência de algumas agremiações carnavalescas que surgiram ou que se mantiveram no período compreendido entre as décadas de 1950 e meados de 1980. Tal período é conhecido por um suposto arrefecimento do carnaval de rua carioca, principalmente quando se toma por base a região central da cidade. Em contraste com a segunda metade do século XIX e primeira metade do XX (períodos muito bem discutidos, principalmente pela história social do carnaval carioca) tal recorte histórico ainda não recebeu a devida atenção da historiografia, de forma que o objetivo do artigo é contribuir para o esforço de melhor compreender tal período. As noções de continuidades das práticas negras no espaço central e do mesmo território enquanto área de confluência da população negra, principalmente no carnaval, são argumentos centrais do texto. Elabora-se, ainda, um contraponto aos conceitos de revitalização” e de “retomada” do carnaval de rua carioca.
BWV 245 – Johannes-Passion: musicando a Paixão de Cristo
Authors: Duffeck Odilon , Saldanha Marcelo Ramos , Campos Fernando Batista de
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on the sacred oratorio Johannes-Passion, BWV 245, to explore how baroque music, especially Johann Sebastian Bach's Passions, aims to evoke collective emotions. The study highlights Bach's use of musical rhetoric to express affections in theological poetry, specifically the Doctrine of Affects. We analyze how Bach connects musical elements to specific emotional states, seeking to understand his stylistic pedagogical approach to transmitting faith by integrating music, biblical text and spiritual poetry. This perspective highlights this Baroque composer's unique ability to move between the dimensions of the sacred text and dramatic and emotional expression in music
Por um esboço do som: o estudo como gênero poético da performance musical
Authors: Teixeira William , Silva Lucas Mateus
Published: January 2025

This article proposes an inquiry about the Study as genre providing a space for creative experimentation, seeking to understand from this perspective the realization of the compositional process in music. At first, we survey the notion of sketch in the thought of the French philosopher Denis Diderot, relating it to the conception of the sketch in the work of the Brazilian composer Silvio Ferraz and the conception of essay in Adorno. Subsequently, we seek in Mikhail Bakhtin the theoretical foundation on the intertextuality present in the Study, understanding it as a primary discursive genre that, from the incorporation in the performance, is re-elaborated as a secondary genre. Finally, we suggest some applications of the discussion in the scope of performance and its creative possibilities, focusing on the elaboration of studies for viola caipira, reporting this creative process.
Ressonâncias das encruzilhadas: Lorenzo Dow Turner e o Grupo de Capoeira Angola Estrela do Norte
Authors: Souza Caio de
Published: January 2025

Nas últimas décadas, os arquivos sonoros de instituições da Europa e da América do Norte emergiram como fontes abundantes de pesquisa para etnomusicólogos, folcloristas e antropólogos, oferecendo registros únicos das práticas musicais do Sul Global. Embora etnomusicólogos tenham explorado a possibilidade de repatriar esses arquivos, abordando um legado colonial destes, certos aspectos dessa abordagem de pesquisa diminuem a agência e a subjetividade dos colaboradores participantes no processo de repatriação. Este artigo investiga o diálogo entre o passado e presente ao colaborar com o Grupo de Capoeira Angola Estrela do Norte, liderado por Mestre Iuri Santos, com sede em Bloomington, Indiana, para criar um álbum musical de capoeira. O álbum se inspira em entrevistas com praticantes contemporâneos de capoeira e nos arquivos sonoros de capoeira produzidos pelo linguista afro-americano Lorenzo Dow Turner em 1940 e 1941 em Salvador, Bahia, armazenados nos Archives of Traditional Music (ATM) da Universidade de Indiana. O estudo, baseado em dois anos de trabalho de campo, inclui entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação participante das aulas de capoeira, sessões de audição atenta à coleção de Lorenzo Dow Turner, e o processo de pré-gravação, gravação e pós-produção do álbum. Este artigo introduz uma abordagem teórico-metodológica inovadora aos arquivos sonoros, apresentando uma modalidade diferente de pesquisa acadêmica que justapõe o arquivo e o repertório, estabelecendo um diálogo na etnomusicologia centrada na performance, com foco em pesquisa participativa baseada no som.
O Maestro Duda e sua relação com a música tradicional maranhense
Authors: Cavalcante Daniel Moraes , Ronqui Paulo Adriano
Published: January 2025

In this work, a reflection is carried out and demonstrated about Maestro Duda's contact with Maranhão's traditional music, which first occurred in 1993 and 1994 in São Luís do Maranhão. To this end, we sought to understand in what context the Monette Suite (1994) was written, since the aforementioned work could be identified as the first Brazilian composition for brass written with elements originating from traditional Maranhão music. We also sought to relate the fourth movement of the Monette Suite, the Boi Bumbá, with the Bumba meu boi practiced in Maranhão, by identifying the rhythmic elements contained in the movement in question. Finally, other artistic works carried out by Maestro Duda as conductor, orchestrator and instrumentalist in São Luís do Maranhão between 1996 and 1998 were demonstrated.
“Abre a roda minha gente, que o batuque é diferente”: uma análise comparativa da canção “Tiririca” nas versões de Geraldo Filme e Mestre Ananias
Authors: Chiavacci Sofia
Published: January 2025

This article aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the lyrics between two versions of the song "Tiririca," composed by samba artist Geraldo Filme and performed by both him and Mestre Ananias, a Bahian capoeira master. By exploring the sonic, historical, and social aspects of the two interpretations, the study investigates differences in the lyrics and contextualizes them within the unique experience of each performer. The goal is to delve into the sung form and establish connections that shed light on the intersection between the traditions of capoeira and samba circles in São Paulo.
Villa-Lobos’s Nonetto (1923): a savage’s music?
Authors: Kippelen Etienne
Published: January 2025

Composed during his first trip to France, Heitor Villa-Lobos' Nonetto (1923) is intended to be a link between French musical taste between the two wars and a Brazil teeming with popular music. Influenced by the model of Igor Stravinsky and Edgar Varèse, this nonet received an enthusiastic reception from the Parisian public. The piece has a single movement of about thirteen minutes. It contains many singularities of construction that this article aims to analyze. Its unusual formation, the presence of a mixed choir, strangely underused, the extreme fragmentation of the discourse, the incantatory melodies, the abrupt accentuations, the rhythmic scansion, the rhapsodic and composite structure: everything seems to indicate that this is music for "savages", according to the criteria understood as such in interwar France, eager for exoticism and a change of scenery. Unlike the young European nations, sometimes cultivating a quest for purity in national expression, like the ethnographic work of Béla Bartók, Villa-Lobos restores the perception of a multiplicity of influences, which the Nonetto and other scores of the same period such as Uirapurú (1917) or Amazonas (1917) manifest by a relative juxtaposition of the way in which communities often very separate live: Portuguese-speaking immigrants (or not), descendants of slaves, Amerindians. It will be a question of putting into perspective the characteristics of the "savage" in France throughout history and then showing, through musical analysis, how the Brazilian composer integrated them to his advantage in this work, which constitutes a decisive milestone in his rich musical production.
Taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of Impatiens violacea (Balsaminaceae) a steno-endemic species in Pettimudi, an area of endemism in southern Western Ghats, India
Authors: Arjun Thomas  , J. Jameson
Published: January 2025

Impatiens violacea is a steno-endemic species in a valley in Pettimudi forest adjacent to Eravikulam National Park, Kerala, India. Taxonomic treatment, morphology, vertical distribution, ecology, phenology, ethnobotany, threats, and conservation status of the species are provided. Impatiens violaceae is a threatened species under the ‘Vulnerable’ category with substantial anthropogenic stress. The present study on endemic species in Pettimudi forest revealed 13 endemic species of the southern Western Ghats reside at area of (1.87 km2) in a U-shaped valley within the forest of Pettimudi, of which three species, namely, Impatiens violacea, I. johnii, and Cnemaspis anamudiensis were exclusively endemic to this valley whereas I. panduranganii to the Pettimudi forest. The findings suggest that the u-shaped valley in Pettimudi forest is an area of endemism (AoE) and a ‘hot speck’ within the Western Ghats, recognised as one of the global hotspots. Based on the study result, the authors recommend the u-shaped valley in Pettimudi forest be attached to the Eravikulam National Park territory to conserve the endemic species.
Dietary composition of Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis Przewalski, 1876 (Aves: Gruiformes: Gruidae) in its winter habitat: insights from fecal analysis in Bumdeling, Trashiyangtse, Bhutan
Authors: Wangchuk Jigme , Tenzin Ugyen , Tshering Tsethup , Wangdi Karma , Drukpa Sangay , Chophel Tshering , Wangmo Ugyen , Tshering Jigme , Sherub
Published: January 2025

Gaining comprehensive insights into the dietary habits and food preferences of the Black-necked Crane (BNC) is crucial for developing effective conservation plans to safeguard this globally near-threatened species. The choice of habitats by these birds is primarily influenced by the availability of diverse food sources and overall environmental security. This study was conducted in 2019–2020 in Bumdeling, one of three wintering sites for BNC in Bhutan. It was prompted by concerns over a declining crane population, largely due to habitat alteration that threatens food sources. This study aimed to examine the dietary preferences of cranes by collecting and analyzing fecal samples from foraging and roosting sites. Results revealed that paddy-fields were the primary foraging areas. The presence of domestic grains after harvest, herbaceous plants, and invertebrates are crucial components of the food structure of cranes. Fecal samples contained 79 species from domestic crops, herbaceous plants, and invertebrates. Fecal dry weight exhibited significant differences from December to February compared to March, suggesting a decline in rice intake and an increase in invertebrate consumption, resulting in lower fecal weight. These results also showed that as the months progress rice decreases with a shift to a protein-rich diet of invertebrates before cranes migrate back to their summer grounds. Traces of plastics were found in feces from all feeding sites, highlighting the need for better waste management. Changes in agricultural practices have had significant impacts on the availability of food sources for cranes in Bumdeling. Collaboration among conservationists, local government, and communities is recommended to enhance winter habitats and provide food supplements when rice supplies start to diminish.
Management challenges in marine protected areas: a field note from the Malvan Marine Sanctuary, India
Authors: Somaraj Neenu
Published: January 2025

Marine protected area (MPA) is an umbrella term for the protection and conservation of coastal biodiversity. MPAs are expected to work as an effective tool for marine biodiversity conservation and fishery management. As India has an extensive coastline of 7,517 km that supports approximately 250 million people for their livelihood, the existence of prosperous coastal and marine ecosystems is imperative for the sustainable economic growth of the country. In India, MPA is part of the protected area network notified under the Wildlife Protection Act, of 1972. In view of the socio-economic angle of the MPA, conserving the specific marine habitat and sustaining commercial activities like fishing pose tremendous challenges in achieving conservation goals. In this context, this paper evaluates the management challenges of the Malvan Marine Sanctuary located in Maharashtra State of India and subsequently discusses the possible solutions for effectively managing the sanctuary.

Amorphophallus gigas is exclusively found in community agroforestry gardens within the northern Sumatra region, Indonesia. This species faces various threats including land conversion and tuber extraction for economic purposes. Despite its unique habitat characteristics, the conservation status remains unrecorded on the IUCN Red List. Effective conservation requires comprehensive data, including distribution and habitat conditions in the field. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the variables affecting the distribution of A. gigas in northern Sumatra and predict the size of the area with the potential for spread. The variables examined included height, slope, slope direction, climatic conditions, and land cover. Coordinate points were taken directly in the field using GPS, while Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling was used to predict the suitability of the habitat of the species. MaxEnt modeling of variables affecting the distribution of A. gigas showed that soil type played an important role (contribution 55%), followed by the average monthly temperature range (16%), and altitude (7.9%). The most suitable area was found to be located in the southern part of the province. The results of this research are useful for formulating conservation strategies for A. gigas.

Most studies on waterholes come from arid and semi-arid countries where water availability for wildlife is limited. Bhutan is a country with rich running water sources. Less is known about the waterhole usage by wildlife in the country. The present study aimed to understand the importance and usage pattern of waterholes by mammals in the protected areas of Bhutan. Thirty waterholes in Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, Bhutan were monitored for dry and wet seasons. A generalized linear model was used to assess the impact of various waterhole parameters on mammal usage of the waterholes. Seven out of 12 parameters studied showed a significant impact on waterhole visitation by mammalian species. When water availability and salinity showed a positive impact on waterhole visits by mammals, distance from agricultural land, altitude, herb density, canopy cover, and livestock presence showed a negative impact. The study shows that even in the presence of major running water sources, waterholes are well utilized by mammals independent of seasons with ungulates being the most frequent visitors in the waterholes. This shows the importance of waterholes in protected areas of the country for better management of wildlife.

Study on factors influencing sand migration in wellbores
Authors: Shanshan Liu
Published: January 2025

Accurate sand control design requires that the sand particles that break through the sand control facilities and enter the wellbore can be completely transported to the wellhead to prevent wellbore sand settling and blocking. At present, there are few studies on the migration and deposition of formation sand with a certain particle size distribution (PSD) after entering the wellbore with formation fluid. Most studies do not consider the sand PSD and treat sand particles as pseudo fluid. Therefore, this paper uses CFD-DEM (computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method) coupling method to conduct numerical simulation of sand migration in the wellbore, and obtains the influence rule of fluid velocity, viscosity, well deviation angle, formation sand production concentration, and PSD on cross-section sand concentration (sand carrying capacity of the fluid) and axial pressure drop in the wellbore section. Based on the simulation results and dimensional analysis, a prediction model for the volume concentration of sand particles in the wellbore was established, which is convenient for engineering applications to quickly determine the flow state of the wellbore. An engineering method for determining the critical non-deposition velocity of sand particles in wellbore was proposed, and the critical non-deposition velocity of sand particles under three effective particle sizes, three sand production concentrations, and three fluid viscosities was obtained. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for sand carrying and the production systems coordinated optimization design in weakly consolidated sandstone reservoirs.
Nobiletin restores the intestinal barrier of HFD-induced obese mice by promoting MHC-II expression and lipid metabolism

The incidence of obesity is increasing annually worldwide. A high-fat diet (HFD) causes intestinal barrier damage, but effective interventions are currently unavailable. Our previous work demonstrated the therapeutic effect of nobiletin on obese mice; thus, we hypothesized that nobiletin could reverse HFD-induced damage to the intestinal barrier. Male C57BL/6 J mice were orally administered nobiletin for 14 d. After identification, the obese mice were equally divided into three groups: the HFD group, the low-dose (NOL, 100 mg/kg/d) group and the high-dose nobiletin (NOH, 200 mg/kg/d) group. A normal control group (CON) was also included. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunofluorescence were used to observe the intestinal barrier. RT-qPCR was used to determine the transcriptomic levels of genes involved in intestinal barrier integrity and lipid metabolism. The results revealed that intestinal tight proteins, including ZO-1 and Occludin, were significantly reduced in HFD-fed mice but markedly restored after nobiletin intervention, particularly in NOH mice. Improvements in the intestinal barrier and lipid metabolism associated with major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) and relevant elements were revealed after nobiletin intervention. Enrichment analysis revealed that MHC-II plays an important role in the restoration of the intestinal barrier. Taken together, nobiletin restored intestinal barrier integrity and lipid metabolism by regulating MHC-II expression.
