Authors:   Boston University, Jung Bo , Choi Kyung-Shick ,   Boston University, Lee Claire ,   University of Massachusetts Lowell
Published: August 2023

The number of Dark Web financial marketplaces where Dark Web users and sellers actively trade illegal goods and services anonymously has been growing exponentially in recent years. The Dark Web has expanded illegal activities via selling various illicit products, from hacked credit cards to stolen crypto accounts. This study aims to delineate the characteristics of the Dark Web financial market and its scams. Data were derived from leading Dark Web financial websites, including Hidden Wiki, Onion List, and Dark Web Wiki, using Dark Web search engines. The study combines statistical analysis with thematic analysis of Dark Web content. Offering promotions and customer services with the payment methods of cryptocurrencies were prevalent, similar to the Surface Web's e-commerce market. The findings suggest that the Dark Web financial market is likely to harbor scams targeting Dark Web buyers. Dark Web sellers construct a website to sell scam products and recommend purchasing Escrow services to ensure safe transactions as an additional scam. The results from this study provided empirical support for the components of the routine activity theory of the Dark Web financial market to substantiate a more comprehensive view of patterns of fraud/ scams. Enhancing law enforcement capabilities of investigating financial marketplaces and promoting public awareness and consumer safety programs are discussed as effective preventive measures.

Authors: Ruqiya
Published: August 2023

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heart disease has been a foremost source of death worldwide for the past 15 years. Therefore Medical diagnosis is typically performed mostly by doctors due to their training and experience. In the field of medicine, computer-aided decision support systems are enormously significant. Therefore, it is necessary to develop prediction systems that give information of different categories to readers. According to the study, hybrid intelligent algorithms increase the heart disease prediction system’s accuracy. Hence, recognizing cardiovascular problems including heart attacks, coronary artery diseases, etc. by routine clinical data analysis is an important task; early identification of heart disease may save many lives. In this article, have reviewed various papers related to the Cleveland heart disease dataset that used one or more machine-learning algorithms to forecast congestive heart failure. In one of the above mention papers, the result of utilizing Random Forest is almost 100%. To ensure that predictions made using machine learning algorithms produce accurate outcomes. Applying machine learning algorithms to heart disease treatment data can produce results that are just as accurate as those found in heart disease diagnosis.

Published: August 2023

Bu çalışma, günümüzde ve bütün dünyada önemli konulardan biri olan engellilik meselesini ele alan teorik bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada engellilere yönelik tutumlar ve görüşler sosyolojik açıdan incelenir. Bu bağlamda bedenin ötekileştirilmesi ve yeniden inşa edilmesi üzerine konuşulan sosyal teorisyenlerin düşünceleri ele alınmıştır. Teorik kavramlarla ilgili literatür taraması yapılarak gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma, engellilere yönelik olumsuz tutumların her zaman olduğunu öne sürmüş ve bu durumu yönetim, üretim ve tüketim konuları ile ilgili değerlendirmiştir.

Engelli, bedeninde belli bozuklukların olmasıyla ve bu bozukluklar sebebiyle toplumsal hayatta arka plana itilen birey olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Engellilik, her zaman insan bedeniyle ilişkili olarak yorumlandığından beden, yönetim ve üretim gibi konularla beraber, insanlığın bütün yaşam süreci boyunca tartışılan konuya dönüşmüştür. Ayrıca tarihe baktığımızda engelli kimseler hep ötekileştirilen, dışlanan, izole edilen, ölüme terk edilen bireyler olarak görünmektedir. Günümüzde ise engelli bireyler yasal olarak toplumun diğer üyeleriyle eşit haklara sahip olsa bile, engellilere yönelik olumsuz tutumlardan dolayı günlük yaşamda zorluklar çekmektedir. “Engelliler, hiçbir şey yapamayan, başkalarına bağımlı insanlar” gibi olumsuz görüşler nedeniyle engelli bireyler topluma aktif olarak katılamamakta ve yoksullukta yaşayan dezavantajlı grup içerisinde yer almaktadır. Engellilerin bu durumda yaşamasının sebebi de hasta bedenin ötekileştirilmesidir. Makalenin amacı da engelliliği bedenin ötekileştirilmesine dair tartışılan düşünceler üzerinden açıklamaktır.

Nourishing hope: Unraveling the path to justice in the global food system
Authors: Cerkleski Mallory
Published: August 2023

First paragraph: In an era marked by widespread food insecurity and escalating concerns about climate change, Translating Food Sovereignty: Cultivating Justice in an Age of Transnational Governance by Matthew C. Canfield offers a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the global food system. Canfield explores the emerging food sovereignty movement, which challenges the dominant agro-industrial model and advocates for local and democratic control over food systems. As the reader progresses through the book, it becomes evident that Canfield embodies the essence of both a generalist and a specialist. With a wealth of experiences spanning from “formal” to “informal” and encompassing both legal and practical dimensions, each perspective presented feels remarkably comprehensive and worthy of serious consideration. . . .
Habitat associations and threat vulnerabilities of seahorses and pipefishes (Syngnathidae) in Biscayne National Park, Florida, USA
Authors: Stump Emilie , Rosenfeld Jordan S , Vincent Amanda CJ
Published: August 2023

Habitat loss is a primary threat to seahorses, pipefishes, and their relatives (family Syngnathidae) globally. Conservation intervention is difficult or ineffective when species lack critical habitat information. To better understand the habitat associations of syngnathids we conducted
underwater visual surveys of 79 sites in three habitat categories (Reef, Continuous, and Discontinuous Submerged Rooted Vegetation) in Biscayne National Park (BNP), a coastal Marine Protected Area (MPA) in southeastern Florida. We recorded nine syngnathid species in our surveys; presence/
absence data was analyzed alongside a suite of abiotic and biotic variables. Nonparametric statistical tests indicated that syngnathids were significantly more abundant inside Biscayne Bay and we did not detect any syngnathids at reef sites—located outside Biscayne Bay—despite
reef-associated species being previously reported in BNP. Additional analyses indicated that sites where syngnathids were present were characterized by fine sediment, reduced horizontal visibility, high seagrass coverage, and low coverage of sessile benthic invertebrates and reef-associated
turf algae. The most important predictor of syngnathid presence was a predominance of fine sediment—an indicator of low-velocity hydrodynamic conditions—and seagrass coverage at occupied sites was nearly double that of unoccupied sites. Variation in habitat use among the three
most abundant sympatric syngnathids (Hippocampus zosterae, S yngnathus scovelli, and Syngnathus floridae) indicates niche partitioning based on salinity, local hydrodynamic regime, and seagrass coverage. Our study points to the value of protecting sheltered seagrass beds;
heightened vulnerability to habitat change—driven by watershed development, impacts from fisheries, recreation and tourism, and climate change—necessitates coordinated management of land use outside of the protected area.

Published: August 2023

Aim: The investigation of satisfaction with using dynamic foot-ankle orthoses, which have an important place in rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy (CP), is essential for eliminating deficiencies and effectively implementing the use. Our study aims to evaluate the satisfaction level of children with spastic CP by taking their own opinions.

Materials and Method: Children with spastic CP aged 5-18 years, who can walk, who have been using dynamic foot-ankle orthosis for at least six months, and who have a cognitive level that can answer questions were included in the study. Orthotic satisfaction was evaluated through 12 questions created under the headings of comfort, visuality, and functionality, and the effects of age, gender, and gross motor functions on orthotic satisfaction were investigated.

Results: 105 children with spastic CP with a mean age of 10.8±4.2 years participated in the study. At the end of the study, satisfaction with orthosis was found to be moderate. When the factors affecting orthosis satisfaction were evaluated, it was concluded that functional level affects satisfaction in all three areas. Age is a factor affecting satisfaction primarily related to the visual of the orthosis, and gender does not affect satisfaction.

Conclusion: As a result, by taking the opinions of orthosis users, significant findings were obtained in eliminating deficiencies and increasing the duration of use and motivation. In addition, the child-based approach was emphasized. It was concluded that orthotic satisfaction changed with age and gross motor function level, and gender had no effect within the framework of the questions asked.

Authors: Martins Fassina Henrique , Badawi Urio Mujahed Guilherme , Minniti Giulia
Published: August 2023

In order to overcome the long wait of patients in queues to receive a donated organ and the advancement of chronic degenerative diseases, regenerative medicine introduced 3D bioprinting. This study aims to expose the possibilities arising from the use of 3D bioprinting in organ transplantation and in the modeling of chronic degenerative diseases. A bibliographic review was carried out using the PubMed and SciELO databases, published between 1993 (due to its relevance) and 2023, no language restriction. By exploring the techniques, it was observed that biomodels created in vivo and in vitro, especially from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), the main target of this study, mimicked the architecture and physiology of bone, liver, heart tissue and even neural progenitor cells, which impact on the modeling of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Despite the existing challenges to reproducing functional organs on a clinical scale, 3D bioprinting is a promising technology that promises to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine and resolve, in a few years, these obstacles that cause high morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Pereira Lyne Sussuarana , Gomes Thiago Santiago , Acordi Vasques Pacheco Elen Beatriz
Published: August 2023

A reciclagem é uma técnica de destinação de resíduos plásticos e seus impactos ambientais poderão ser calculados por avaliação do ciclo de vida (ACV).  A reciclagem é compartilhada entre dois sistemas de produto, um que produz o material reciclado e outro que usa o material reciclado, que torna a reciclagem um processo multifuncional e demanda de realização de alocação dos encargos ambientais.  Dessa forma, este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão da literatura sobre o uso de alocação, um ponto ainda frágil na ACV. Esta revisão evidencia que dentre os estudos para quantificação ambiental da reciclagem de plásticos os métodos de alocação mais usados foram cut-off, substituição, perda de qualidade, número de ciclos e 50/50. A ACV é uma importante ferramenta para avaliar os impactos da reciclagem de plásticos e a alocação, etapa importante nessa avaliação, representa uma lacuna ainda ser melhor estudada.
Avanços e obstáculos em relação ao direito à acessibilidade em academias de ginástica na legislação brasileira

Published: August 2023

Discute os avanços e obstáculos em relação ao direito à acessibilidade em academias de ginástica previsto na legislação brasileira. Por meio de pesquisa documental, realizada em leis e projetos de leis, constatou-se que embora as referências sobre acessibilidade sejam genéricas, voltadas aos serviços, equipamentos e instalações, que tais designações são suficientes para afirmar a presença deste direito também no universo das academias. Identificou-se, ainda, que o ponto de inflexão sobre a matéria está relacionado à publicação do Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência, o qual vinculou, como regra geral, a concepção de desenho universal ao direito à acessibilidade, superando, dessa forma, a ideia restrita de adaptação razoável. No que se refere ao campo das atividades físicas, verificou-se a preponderância de uma compreensão da pessoa com deficiência como espectador dessas práticas corporais, em detrimento de uma perspectiva fecunda sobre as possibilidades de estilos de vida ativo e saudável. Dessa forma, conclui-se sobre a permanência da trágica dissonância entre o prescrito nas legislações e o realizado no cotidiana, tão recorrente na formação social brasileira, a qual também tem se manifestado no universo do direito à acessibilidade em academias.

Acupuncture for Obesity
Authors: YILDIRIM Duygu İlke , ERYILMAZ Mehmet Ali
Published: August 2023

In this review study, we aimed to show the effects of acupuncture on obesity in the light of recent studies. Obesity is an important health problem that is accepted as a risk factor for many diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver and has become an epidemic all over the world. Acupuncture is a form of treatment applied by inserting needles into specific points on the body for therapeutic purposes. There are still uncertainties about whether acupuncture practices alone are effective in the treatment of obesity. In addition, there is evidence that it stimulates some anorexigenic hormones, inhibits some orexigenic hormones, and as a result suppresses appetite. It has been reported in the literature that these effects of acupuncture are much more effective when applied together with diet and exercise. Acupuncture reduces the appetite of obese patients, increases their compliance with diet and exercise, and reduces the anxiety caused by hypocaloric nutrition with the anxiolysis effect it creates. It also accelerates metabolism by providing homeostasis in the body and enables patients to lose weight. In these multidisciplinary treatment approaches, it would be very beneficial to include acupuncture treatment, which is one of the complementary and alternative treatment methods in the treatment of obesity.
Legal Framework for Corporate Governance in Nigeria: An Appraisal of the 2018 Code of Corporate Governance
Authors: Amujo–Akomolafe Monica
Published: August 2023

Corporate Governance deals with the decision-making structures of corporations and organizations and establishes a relationship between shareholders’ interests such as investors and owners of the issued shares of the corporation and other stakeholders’ interests such as employees, customers, suppliers, individuals where the corporation interacts, etc. Great corporate governance is necessary for setting standards required by corporations to establish a distinctive business environment. Over the years there has been no uniform code on corporate governance of general application to regulate and monitor corporate governance in Nigeria. Therefore the study seeks to undertake an examination of the historical background as well as the processes and structure of corporate governance. In particular, the paper will carry out a critical review of the 2018 Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance (NCCG), the latest legal framework on corporate governance unveiled by the Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment on January 15, 2019. The paper will rely on both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary sources are legislations and judicial decisions. Secondary sources are books, journal, online articles and periodicals. The paper concludes that 2018 NCCG is in line with international best practices as it primarily seeksto institutionalize the maximum standard of corporate governance in Nigeria and sensitize the public on the significance of upholding corporate values and principles. The paper recommends that regulatory authorities and all interested parties in the corporate world must collaborate to ensure adequate compliance with the code for the attainment of an effective system of corporate governance in Nigeria.
Right of the Child to Land Acquisition in Nigeria: The Capacity Challenge
Authors: Oti-Onyema Linda Amarachi
Published: August 2023

Realizing the indispensable place of the child in the sustainability of the human race, efforts are being intensified by the international and local communities in protectingthe rights of the child. It has been observed that much of these efforts have been centered on the person of the child rather than his property, particularly as a result of the traditional view classifying the child as a property of his parents. This paper examines the right of the Nigerian child to acquire and own land as contained in the principal statutes on land acquisition with a view to determiningthe availability of the right and the extent to which the child can enforce it. The paper found that, like adults, the child possesses a fundamental right to acquisition and ownership of property to be exercised and enforced through his guardian or trustee until he attains age of majority. However, full realization of this right is far-fetched owing to some shortcomings in our laws which include the differences in age limit of the child in the various statutes providing the child’s right to property and the variation in rules of contract applicable to the grant of the different rights of occupancy over land as contained in the Land Use Act. The paper inter alia, recommends a harmonization of both the minimum age of a child and the applicable rules.

COVID-19 causes mild to severe respiratory illness in humans. Government and non-government authorities along with telecommunication, print and electronic media undertook extensive advertising campaign regarding protective measures against COVID-19 to raise the public awareness. Therefore, this web-based cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate peoples' responses towards COVID-19 during the first wave of COVID-19 in Bangladesh. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses to estimate the association between demographic characteristics, awareness, and individual preventive measures. The overall awareness level of the majority of the respondents (89%, n=920) was good, but the overall score for individual-level preventive measures during lockdown was poor to moderate. The relation between a good level of awareness and a higher level of educational status was found statistically significant (aOR 5.87, 95% CI: 1.58-21.86). Service holders were two times more likely to follow COVID-19 prevention practices than students (aOR 2.08, 95% CI: 1.24-3.51). Despite having adequate knowledge on awareness, many respondents were reluctant to follow preventive measures during the lockdown. The outcomes of this study highlight the requirement for stringent execution of preventative measures by law enforcement agencies to stop the transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
Oil Price Forecasting Model Based on GARCH-LSTM Model
Authors: Fu Xiaojing
Published: August 2023

Based on the importance of oil in daily life and economic development, the price prediction of oil has become a pressing problem. Previously, the methods for oil price prediction were broadly divided into two categories, respectively, statistical-based prediction, which has more reliable mathematical principles, but the prediction effect is not very ideal, and deep learning methods, which use neural networks for prediction, although the prediction effect is more ideal, but there are still many mathematical features in the data have not been completely extracted. Therefore, this paper combines the statistical method with the deep learning method, the statistical method selects the GARCH family model, and the deep learning method selects the LSTM model, and establishes the GARCH-LSTM hybrid model for oil price prediction. The experimental data are selected from Brent crude oil from January 2000 to December 2022. After fitting the data using different models, by calculating their corresponding fitting accuracy, it can be found that the fitting accuracy of the GARCH-LSTM model is significantly better than other models, and its RMSE corresponds to 0.148% and MAE to 1.378%. The model can be trained both by the mathematical features in the data through the GARCH model and in depth using the LSTM neural network to obtain more excellent training results.

Authors: Tang Yunqing , Cai Jinliang
Published: August 2023

With the rapid development of AI technology and the rise of AI in health care, AI diagnostic techniques are gaining attention. Studies have been conducted to enhance the reliability of AI in terms of algorithmic accuracy and "black box" nature, but few studies have explored the impact of AI interpretation type on patient trust. In this paper, we use subjective scales and objective eye-tracking techniques based on the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and cognitive load theory to explore the trust and prediction of patients with different health literacy on global and partial interpretations of AI diagnostic reports. Firstly, based on the existing AI diagnostic report form, we remove the distracting information and restore the AI diagnostic report display elements by Axure RP9, and construct the patient health literacy and patient trust evaluation scales using the questionnaire method; then we conduct scenario simulation experiments using eye-tracking technology to analyze and compare the patient trust perception and objective eye-movement measurement results; finally, we use Pearson correlation test. Partial least squares method was used to construct a relationship model between patient trust and eye movement index, and the validity of the model was verified. The results showed that patients with different health literacy differed in their trust in different AI interpretation types; patients with different health literacy differed in their gaze levels for different interpretation types of diagnostic reports; and the relationship model between patient trust and eye movement indicators could effectively predict patient perceived trust. The results of the study complement the research on the calibration trust of eye-tracking technology in the medical field, while providing a reliable scientific basis for the design and developers of intelligent diagnostic technology applications.
Multi-objective Optimization Overlapping Community Detection Algorithm based on Subgraph Structure
Authors: Li Changhong
Published: August 2023

Community detection in complex networks has increasingly become an important topic in the network, but in most community detection methods, a single node only belongs to one community. In fact, there is often overlap among real-world online communities. In this paper, an overlapping community detection algorithm based on subgraph structure and multi-optimization method is designed. In this algorithm, the maximum clique mined by k-core decomposition is used as the clique node, thus the overlap characteristic is transformed into the inherent characteristic of the new graph. After that, a population initialization method based on k-core decomposition is designed, and the discrete framework of multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the two objectives on the basis of maximal clique graph to solve the problem of overlapping community detection. In the real-world network, this algorithm is compared with similar community detection algorithms. The comparison of the evaluation indexe shows that the community detection effect of this algorithm is similar to that of similar algorithms, and has a good application prospect.

Tool system wear is one of the common faults affecting TBM system tunneling. In order to simulate the operation of the TBM tool system, judge its failure state, and locate the failure area of the hob, this paper designed the simulation experiment platform of the TBM tool system, and obtained the pressure signal of the tool plate when the tool plate is running through the experiment platform, and proposed the pressure feature extraction algorithm for the cutter head of the TBM tool system, so as to judge the failure state of the cutter head system and locate the failure area. Experimental results show that the cutter head pressure feature extraction and failure location algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively identify the cutter head region where the failure hob is located, and improve the efficiency of cutter head maintenance in the process of TBM tunneling.

Online learning is one way for students to get the knowledge they need. Most schools around the world have switched to online learning, which means that students don't see each other as much. This study analyzed how these factors were associated with and impacted each other. a quantitative approach to gathering data and analysing the effectiveness of online learning platforms. A cross-sectional study design is used to collect data at a specific point in time. The sample consisted of 500 university students who have experienced remote education through online learning platforms. The sampling technique combination of convenience sampling and stratified random sampling. The primary data collection method was a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to gather information about students' perceptions and experiences with online learning platforms. The questionnaire was developed based on a review of the existing literature on online learning effectiveness The test results indicated that all the variables had a positive effect on the effectiveness of online learning. This showed that the more effective online learning was, the more benefits and positive outcomes the student experienced. The result of this research showed that learning objectives could enable universities to increase the effectiveness of students' online learning by motivating students to join online classes and developing appropriate learning strategies for their individual needs.

Published: August 2023

In this study, properties and fabrication of FeCrC reinforced copper alloys by mechanical alloying were examined using mechanical grinding, optical microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscope, X-ray diffraction, and hardness testing. MA had a very good ability to mix Cu-FeCrC particles. High FeCrC provided more cold work during milling. Thus, smaller crystallite size and greater internal stress occurred in Cu alloys. High performance Cu was further strengthened by a combination of fine grain and alloying. C23C6, Cr7C3 and α–Cu detected in the structure. The hardness of Cu increased significantly after grinding with FeCrC.

Understanding the challenges experienced by undergraduate students in different educational environments is crucial for navigating the evolving research landscape effectively. Objective: To review the challenges faced by undergraduate students enrolled in public and private sector dental and medical colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan's. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design and a tailored questionnaire that was distributed to undergraduate students in both sectors to gather data. Time limits, knowledge and research abilities, the availability of mentoring and training, institutional support, and language difficulties were covered by the questionnaire. The chi-square test and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: Key findings include research engagement is low, particularly in the private sector. Time restrictions are a significant barrier that are particularly severe in the private sector. Significant barriers include a lack of research abilities and information, as well as inadequate mentoring and training programs. Particularly in the public sector, there is a dearth of institutional support. Language obstacles are typically not very severe. The chi-square test confirms a significant difference in challenges between public and private sector students. Conclusions: Both public and private sectors have low levels of research engagement, with the private sector having a larger non-participation rate. Both students in the public and private sectors encounter significant challenges, with private sector students identifying time restraints and a lack of information and research skills as the most significant barriers. Lack of readily available mentorship and training programs, as well as institutional support, is a significant barrier for students in both sectors.

The government's success in effectively managing its operations is closely tied to the outcomes of the policies it implements. Law Number 23 of 2014 aims to expedite the enhancement of societal well-being by bettering services, promoting empowerment and community involvement, and enhancing regional competitiveness. This is done while upholding democratic principles, fairness, justice, regional distinctiveness, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of regional governance. Enhancing the relationship between central and regional governments, acknowledging the diverse potentials of various regions, and addressing competitive opportunities and challenges can further refine regional government administration. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, focusing on capturing current, genuine, and practical phenomena. Among the pivotal components of effective governance and public service lies the proper management and responsible oversight of regional assets. Many assets are owned by a region, sometimes in terms of administration, they receive less attention in the field of business administration, which is a must for state administrators to realize good and clean governance.

Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os desdobramentos do governo independente dos Hasmoneus na Palestina Antiga, ocorrida em finais do século II AEC até a chegada dos romanos na região. Este governo é considerado o primeiro de origem judeana desde as expansões imperiais ocorridas no território, e com ele uma série de mudanças tiveram lugar para os habitantes do recorte geográfico palestino. Deste modo, o objetivo deste artigo é lançar luz aos acontecimentos ocorridos na região da Samaria após a elevação de João Hircano I ao poder e os subsequentes resultados da mesma a partir de fontes arqueológicas e textuais.
HISTÓRIA CIENTÍFICA E HISTÓRIA SAGRADA NOS COMPÊNDIOS DE JOÃO MARIA DA GAMA BERQUÓ: A ESCRITA DA HISTÓRIA ANTIGA ESCOLAR ENTRE 1887 E 1889
Authors: Barnabé Luís Ernesto , Príncipe Galerani Katiely Benedita
Published: August 2023

A presente investigação se debruça sobre o momento exato em que, na educação secundária brasileira, a narrativa da História Sagrada, tradicional e vigente de longa data, passa a conviver com a proposta de nova inteligibilidade de passado, pautada em descobertas científicas que alargam a noção de tempo e concomitantemente põe em xeque a primazia da tradição judaico-cristã. Entre 1887 e 1889 João Maria da Gama Berquó, professor do Imperial Colégio de Pedro II, publica dois compêndios que abordam o tema. No primeiro deles, a narrativa centra-se apenas na fundamentação científica, ao passo que no subsequente, ocorre a acomodação entre as duas inteligibilidades. Além de analisar a escrita da história escolar nos compêndios, será apresentado um mapeamento da circulação das obras, bem como uma análise histórica da biografia do autor, procedimentos com os quais se espera demonstrar como tal complexa indissociabilidade não resulta em um processo linear, sendo a escrita da História Antiga escolar, antes disso, um campo em disputa.
