Published: November 2024

This study examined the relationship between dietary supplement and, muscular endurance and balance among athletes in Cross River State. Two research objectives were formulated to guide and direct the study. The objectives investigated the relationship between dietary supplement and muscular endurance and the relationship between dietary supplement and balance among athletics in Cross River State, Nigeria. Relevant literature related to the study was reviewed. Survey research design was considered appropriate for the study. Stratified random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the sporting facilities while systematic random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the two hundred and thirty-five respondents used for the study. A well validated structured questionnaire was used for data collection.  Pearson product moment correlation statistical tool was used for data analysis. The result obtained revealed that; dietary supplement significantly relates with muscular endurance among athletes and there is no significant relationship between dietary supplement and body balance among athletes. The study recommended that athletes should be regularly sensitized on the need to take relevant dietary supplement, when necessary, in order to boost their level of muscular endurance while performing sports

Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION: Adherence to anti-glycaemic drugs are important to achieve optimal glycaemic control and desirable patient health outcomes.  Poor adherence could increase diabetic-related morbidities and mortality. This study aimed to assess adherence to anti-glycaemic drugs and its determinants among patients with diabetes who attended the diabetic clinic in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar, Nigeria from January 2018 to December 2021.
METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study design was used. Systematic sampling technique was used to select 167 study participants. Adherence to diabetic treatment was determined through self-reports of how patients had been taking their medications within the past one week before the interview. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25.0, p-value set at 0.05 and Confidence Interval was set at 95%.
RESULTS: of the 167 patients studied, 46.1% were males while 53.9% were females. The prevalence of adherence to anti-glycaemic medication was 61.7%. Forgetfulness, side effects of drugs, feeling that the dose is high, multiple drugs, how/when to take the drug, type of medication and comorbidities were significantly associated with adherence. Binary logistic regression showed that forgetfulness, side effects and comorbidities were significant determinants of adherence.
CONCLUSION: There is need for targeted interventions to promote adherence to anti-glycaemic drugs.

A Systematic Review On The Trends, Progresses, And Challenges In The Application Of Artificial Intelligence In Water Quality Assessment And Monitoring In Nigeria
Authors: E Omeka M , Amah G , I Morphy M , O Omang B , A Asinya E , T Kave G
Published: November 2024

In recent decades, machine learning (ML) artificial intelligence has found wide application in water quality monitoring and prediction due to the increasing complexity of water quality data. This complexity has been attributed to the global upsurge in anthropogenic activities and climatic variations. It is therefore critical to identify the most accurate and suitable ML model for water quality prediction. In this study, a systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out to explore the trend and progress in the application of ML models in water quality monitoring and prediction in Nigeria from 2003-2024. A comprehensive review of the effectiveness of advanced ML models as well as the gaps in their application in the area of water quality assessment and monitoring was also carried out using the PRISMA-P meta-analysis technique. Forty publications were used to perform bibliographic analysis and visualization using the VOS viewer software. The study found that globally, the use of hybrid ML models in water quality prediction has not been well explored; a majority of the prediction has been based on the use of artificial neural networks (ANN). Among the ANN algorithms, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and Wavelet-Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Interference System (W-ANFIS) hybrid models are the most accurate in prediction; with temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and total dissolved solids (TDS) among the most frequently predicted parameters. Nigeria is grossly lagging in the application of ML in water quality prediction. This limitation is largely attributed to inadequate data on environmental monitoring. It is critical therefore for future water quality monitoring and prediction studies in Nigeria to take advantage of the rapidly evolving field of machine learning; with more emphasis placed on the hybridized machine learning algorithms

Published: November 2024

Introduction : La thrombose veineuse cérébrale (TVC) est une maladie veineuse thrombo-embolique rare, qui représente 0,5 à 3% des  accidents vasculaires cérébraux.
Observations : Le premier patient âgé de 17 ans, a été admis pour des céphalées inhabituelles accompagnées de vomissements et de  crises convulsives généralisées. Les céphalées ont évolué depuis 3 semaines. L’examen neurologique est revenu normal. La tomodensitométrie cérébrale a révélé un hématome cortical et l’angioscanner cérébral une thrombose du sinus sagittal supérieur, du  sinus traverse et du sinus droit. Le bilan de thrombophilie a retrouvé un déficit en protéine S. Il a été traité par enoxaprine puis fluindione. La seconde patiente âgée de 39 ans, a été référée pour des céphalées en casque associées à des vomissements et une  anorexie. L’examen d’entrée a retrouvé un syndrome d’altération de l’état général, un syndrome pyramidal droit déficitaire. L’IRM cérébrale a montré trois foyers lésionnels : temporal droit, capsulo-thalamique et cérébelleux gauche. Ces foyers étaient en hyposignal  T1, hypersignal T2 et FLAIR avec un rehaussement pseudo-nodulaire dont l’aspect faisait évoquer une thrombophlébite d’origine  infectieuse ou des lésions tumorales. Le diagnostic de TVC a finalement été retenu. Le bilan étiologique a retrouvé un déficit en  antithrombine III. Elle a été traitée par enoxaprine puis rivaroxaban.
Conclusion : La recherche de thrombophilie devrait faire partie du  bilan étiologique systématique de TVC du sujet jeune.

Le conseil constitutionnel ivoirien et l’élection présidentielle de sortie de crise (2009-2011)
Authors: Serikpa J.
Published: November 2024

Institution clé dans le processus de l’élection présidentielle et législative en Côte d’Ivoire, le Conseil constitutionnel depuis l’avènement  de la deuxième République ne s’était jamais prononcé sur une élection présidentielle. Celle de sortie de crise était un test grandeur  nature pour cette institution, juge des élections. Comment le Conseil constitutionnel s’est-il comporté ? Traiter une question aussi  essentielle nécessite une approche méthodologique qui a consisté en un recoupement des informations collectées et leurs  confrontations. Cette recherche met en relief l’attitude adoptée par le Conseil constitutionnel ivoirien lors de l’élection présidentielle  censée sortir la Côte d’Ivoire de la crise militaro-politique qu’elle traversait depuis 2002. Le processus de cette présidentielle mainte fois  reportée, débute en 2009 pour finalement s’achever en mai 2011. En sa qualité de juge des élections, les décisions de celui-ci concernant l’éligibilité des candidats, la proclamation des résultats et la gestion des contentieux ont suscité des réactions de part et d’autre.  L’élection présidentielle qui contenait les promesses d’une sortie de crise heureuse, se termine par une crise postélectorale.
Assessing the implications of social work services to children with autism in Tanzania
Authors: Lembuka Meinrad H. , Buhori Johnas A.
Published: November 2024

The desk review method guided by ecosystem theory was employed to review and present findings on the roles of social workers in the  lives of autistic children in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam was used as a case study where social workers engage and address the special needs  of autistic children. Findings show that there are specialised autistic services in Dar es Salaam more than any other region and that social  workers play a significant role backed up by the Tanzania Child Act of 2009. Some health professionals and caregivers are not aware of  the role of social workers in the care of autism. Social workers however address the needs of autistic children by promoting full and  meaningful inclusion of autistic children in social functioning and accessing public goods and services. Social workers also empower  autistic children and their families through home and school visits, policy advocacy and using different forms of empowerment with other  professions to meet their needs. Despite these roles, their contributions are not well recognised. The paper concluded that social  work training does not inform practice towards intervening with autistic children. Therefore, the paper recommended that there should  be more advocacy by social workers to increase public awareness of their roles in autistic services and integration of autistic services in  training and social welfare services. Social work training institutions should integrate competence to address the needs of autistic  children.
Determinants of Financial Sustainability for Local Non-Governmental Organisations in Arusha, Tanzania
Authors: Ezekie Kereri , Massawe Pascal
Published: November 2024

This study explores the factors influencing the financial sustainability of local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Arusha, Tanzania. The research used descriptive survey design, collecting data from 262 respondents working in local NGOs, utilizing both questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that external donors are the dominant source of funding, contributing significantly to the financial sustainability of NGOs, while other sources such as crowdfunding and self-generated income play supporting roles. Despite this, many NGOs struggle to maintain long-term donor relationships, and a heavy reliance on restricted funding hinders their flexibility to respond to emerging issues. The study also found that a limited percentage of NGOs have access to unrestricted funding, which further impacts their ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The study concludes that diversifying funding sources, strengthening donor relationships, and improving financial management practices are essential for enhancing the financial sustainability of NGOs in Tanzania. The study provides recommendations for NGOs to create a more resilient and financially sustainable NGO sector, emphasizing the need for a supportive policy framework and capacity-building initiativ

Description of the subject. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, cocoa based agroforestry systems in natural forests in general and in the Luki Biosphere Reserve in particular have an impact on the characteristics of cul tivated soils.Objective. This study examines the impact of the cocoa based agroforestry system on the physico chemical properties of the Luki Biosphere Reserve soils, Democratic Republic of Congo. It seeks to characterize this agroforestry system and asse ss its influence in the soil compared to a natural forest.Methods. The study was conducted in the Luki Biosphere Reserve (LBR), one of the main cocoa producing areas in the DRC. The climate is tropical humid with two distrinct seasons dry and wet. The agro-forestry system studied include plots established by INERA and farmers between 1961 to 2017. Soil samples were collected and analyzed to determine several soil physico chemical properties, such as: bulk density, granulometry, pH, nitrogen, organic carbon, phosphorus and potassium.Results. Soils in cocoa based agroforestry system have a pH wich varied between 3.2 to 4.5, while forest soils have a pH around 3.5. The INERA 2017 plot had the highest pH, at 4.5. Nitrogen content is 23.5 mg.kg ¹ in natural fore st, and very low in agroforestry system. However, potassium and phosphorus reach respectively the levels of 31 and 14 mg.kg ¹ in some agroforestry plots, by the way the value recorded for both elements in the natural forest was very low. Carbon stock is higher in the natural forest, 16 g.kg ¹, but lower in agroforestry system 9.23 to 11.54 g.kg ¹.Conclusion. The natural forest has high nitrogen and carbon levels, while the INERA 1961 plot shows the highest phosphorus and potassium concentrations. Tree dens ity and species diversity significantly impact carbon storage and soil fertility, highlighting the importance of their management in agroforestry system.
A study on the limits of digital creativity in the context of contemporary art and cinema
Authors: Kiraz Demir Selin , Bozkurt Gülsün
Published: November 2024

Contemporary art, characterised by blurred boundaries and rule-breaking, now faces a new challenge: Determining the extent to which artificial intelligence should be integrated into its practices. This study examines the impact of AI on creativity in cinema, a contemporary art form, by analysing semi-structured interviews with ten production professionals. Participants were presented with two script treatments - one traditionally written and the other AI assisted - before discussing their impressions. The results indicate that most participants are initially hesitant and have preconceptions about AI in screenwriting. However, despite these reservations, the majority found the AI-assisted treatment to be more successful, albeit for different reasons. This finding suggests the need to reconsider preconceived notions about the role and potential of AI in creative fields.

Authors: Singh Kavya , Singh Anuradha
Published: November 2024

Expanding upon the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) explored in "Artificial Intelligence for Drug Repurposing Against Infectious Diseases," this commentary explores AI's transformative potential in hematology. AI-driven algorithms are revolutionizing diagnostics through the automation of tasks like blood smear analysis, cell classification, flow cytometry, and early disease detection. By leveraging extensive datasets, these algorithms enhance accuracy and efficiency in identifying patterns, classifying cells, detecting abnormalities, and predicting disease progression. In the realm of therapeutics, AI is reshaping personalized medicine by analyzing patient data to tailor treatment strategies. AI-powered platforms are accelerating drug discovery, optimizing clinical trial design, and enabling real-time treatment monitoring and personalized risk assessment. While challenges such as algorithm transparency, data bias, and ethical considerations remain, the future of AI in hematology is promising. Continued research, collaboration, and responsible implementation are essential to fully harness AI's potential for improving patient care and advancing therapeutic interventions.
papel e identidade das universidades católicas no Brasil à luz do Concilio Vaticano II
Authors: Lima Jardilino José Rubens , Gomes Ferreira Mário
Published: November 2024

O Concílio Vaticano II (1962 – 1965) fez a Igreja repensar a compreensão do seu lugar no mundo moderno. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo apontar o papel e identidade das universidades católicas no Brasil à luz do Concílio Vaticano II. Para tanto, a pesquisa passou três fases: A análise documental dos documentos do Vaticano II, buscando apontar o discurso sobre as escolas e as universidades católicas; revisão das orientações, pronunciamentos e documentos da Congregação para a Educação Católica (CEC) para as escolas e universidades católicas; e por fim como este conjunto normativo e de diretrizes gerais foram recepcionados e convertidos em diretrizes específicas da Igreja no Brasil. Pesquisadores contribuíram na apresentação do objeto desta pesquisa como (Jardilino, 2003) sobre a taxionomia do ensino superior no Brasil; (Esquivel, 2007) que apresenta a composição social da Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil (CNBB) e da Conferência Episcopal da Argentina (CEA); e outros como (Trigueiro, 2000) e (Arduini, 2017). A questão em aberto, e a história do tempo presente evidencia novos elementos à identidade da universidade católica no Brasil, com a atualíssima Constituição Apostólica Veritatis gaudium do Papa Francisco que sinaliza esta universidade como o “providencial laboratório cultural” capaz de ler e interpretar a nossa realidade no “correr veloz do tempo” de nosso tempo presente.
“Esa tal Liga no sirve para maldita cosa”: La Liga Costeña vista a través de la prensa nacional y del Caribe colombiano, 1919
Authors: Salcedo Díaz Laura , González Arana Roberto , Lázaro Montes Julián Lázaro Montes
Published: November 2024

Este artículo expone cómo desde periódicos nacionales y regionales del Caribe colombiano se cubrió la Liga Costeña, surgida a comienzos del siglo XX como un intento de articular esfuerzos e ideas del Caribe para impulsar el desarrollo regional. La investigación parte de la idea planteada por varios investigadores quienes afirman que esta iniciativa tuvo un amplio rechazo en el interior del país y que, desde los medios impresos, sobre todo los de Bogotá, hubo una postura unánime de ataque a la misma. Sin embargo, una revisión detallada de un corpus de noticias sobre la Liga publicadas por algunos medios de la capital del país y de la región Caribe, a los que se aplicó el Análisis Crítico del Discurso, plantea notables matices al rechazo desde la prensa capitalina a esta propuesta, al tiempo que cuestiona la también aceptada visión de apoyo homogéneo a la Liga en los medios regionales caribeños.
"Escribir, batallar y morir en las penunbras". Florencio Del Mármol, de la revolución mitrista a la Guerra del Pacífico, 1874-1880
Authors: Codesido Lucas
Published: November 2024

Este artículo se propone trazar la trayectoria de Florencio Del Mármol (1851-1881), autor de las Noticias y documentos sobre la revolución de 1874 y miembro de las fuerzas revolucionarias del mitrismo durante aquella protesta armada. Un joven revolucionario, militar y escritor desconocido en la historia pública posterior, a quien más tarde, en 1879, hallamos combatiendo como voluntario en las fuerzas bolivianas durante la Guerra del Pacífico. En 1880 publicaría un libro sobre su reciente experiencia guerrera, tan sólo unos meses antes de morir en Buenos Aires en 1881. Este artículo se propone examinar esos escritos inexplorados, junto a otras fuentes del periodo que contienen datos sobre la breve e intensa trayectoria del autor. El enfoque biográfico propuesto se encuadra en una perspectiva que aborda la trayectoria de los actores e instituciones que han concurrido a transformar la dinámica de las relaciones entre el Estado nacional, las provincias y otros agentes de la sociedad argentina durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.

La cuestión historiográfica de las mujeres en Ecuador  no ha significado un tema primordial en el quehacer político, educativo y mucho menos periodístico, pese a que sus acciones  han constituido micro procesos, a los que consideramos esclarecedores de los hechos y acontecimientos históricos del país, por esta causa se precisa la búsqueda de información sobre ellas    en las notas periodísticas del siglo XIX e inicios del XX, más, los hallazgos en los diarios de la época solo hablan de la pugna de poderes políticos, publicados a modo de noticias; figuran además relatos, poesías y cuentos, escritos por hombres y algunas mujeres que desde la clandestinidad prefirieron ocultar su identidad y firmar con seudónimos. Esta investigación logra recabar información de los principales diarios que circulaban en las etapas mencionadas y cuentan de la presencia o exclusión de las mujeres como protagonistas de las noticas en todas sus dimensiones.

Fadiga e dor: manejo farmacológico e não farmacológico
Authors: Miyamoto Samira Tatiyama , Valim Valéria
Published: November 2024

A secura, fadiga e dor crônica constituem um fenótipo da doença de Sjögren, associado a perfil molecular específico e correlação inversa com marcadores de inflamação e atividade de doença. Estes sintomas se associam a distúrbio do sono e depressão e são os principais preditores de pior qualidade de vida. Os mecanismos e bases genéticas da fadiga mais atuais apontam para a teoria do “comportamento de doença” (sickness behaviour). Atualmente apenas o exercício físico e as técnicas de neuromodulação têm se mostrado capazes de reduzir a fadiga. O manejo multidisciplinar e multiprofissional é, portanto, fundamental para o controle da fadiga e da dor na doença de Sjögren.

Background and Objectives: Flexibility is one of the main components of physical fitness that is important in improving athletic performance and general health. This study aims to evaluate the effect of training on flexibility and compare the effectiveness of training in athletes and non-athletes. Methodology:This study used an observational case study design involving 460 participants aged 18-20 years who were divided into two groups, namely athletes and non-athletes. The athlete group consisted of individuals who were routinely involved in intensive physical activity, while non-athletes did not have a structured physical exercise routine. Flexibility tests were conducted using the sit-and-reach method before and after the exercise program. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and unpaired t-tests to evaluate differences in flexibility improvement between the two groups. Results: Athletes, who regularly engage in intensive physical activity, showed a more significant increase in flexibility than non-athletes. The athlete group had a higher average flexibility, with a statistically significant difference, with an average increase of 26 cm in athletes and 15 cm in non-athletes (p < 0.05). The difference in flexibility improvement between the two groups was also statistically significant, with an average difference of 11 cm (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study confirms that regular physical exercise significantly improves flexibility, especially in athletes. The athlete group showed a better response to the exercise program compared to non-athletes, which emphasizes the importance of structured exercise in maintaining and improving flexibility. These findings can provide insights for coaches, physiotherapists, and health professionals in designing effective exercise programs for various population groups.

Published: November 2024

The Tanzimat Period refers to the era spanning from the proclamation of the Gülhane Hatt-ı Hümayun on November 3, 1839, to 1876. Initiated in 1839 under the leadership of Reshid Pasha, the Tanzimat Period concluded in 1876 with the transition to a constitutional regime led by Midhat Pasha. Etymologically, Tanzimat denotes a comprehensive restructuring and transformation of the Ottoman administrative, political, social, and economic life. Ahmed Cevdet Pasha, a prominent figure of the 19th-century Ottoman Empire, made substantial contributions to the realms of administration, politics, culture, and scholarship. This study aims to examine Ahmed Cevdet Pasha, his family life, and the transformation of his granddaughter, Sister Zubeyde İsmet, within the context of the modernization process influenced by the Tanzimat period. The research employs a qualitative research method, specifically document analysis. The Ottoman Empire, having fallen behind the West in numerous areas, particularly in the military, sought to emulate the West, perceived as more advanced. This emulation extended beyond the military realm. With the Tanzimat reforms, Ottoman elites, including statesmen and intellectuals, sent their children to Western missionary schools. These Ottoman offspring were culturally assimilated and indoctrinated to serve the interests of Western Christianization. Consequently, this process of emulation evolved into cultural imperialism. As a result of this cultural imperialism, the granddaughter of Ahmet Cevdet Pasha converted to Christianity and became a nun. Zubeyde İsmet's transformation highlights the significance of the education system; regardless of an individual's adherence to their own religion, culture, and family, the educational system of the state and society in which they live will determine the fate of their generation.

Los agentes quimioterapéuticos Doxorrubicina y el Paclitaxel han sido cuestionados desde hace algún tiempo, por los efectos negativos observados en algunos pacientes cuando se usan en concentraciones altas, lo que ha limitado su uso. En función de esa problemática se planteó en este estudio determinar el efecto in vitro del extracto del Crotón malambo, en líneas celulares de cáncer humano, y su posible interacción con ambos fármacos. Se estudiaron los siguientes fármacos: Doxorrubicina y Paclitaxel, y el extracto de C. malambo en las líneas celulares de cáncer de mamá MCF-7 y de cáncer de próstata PC3. Se empleó Sulforodamina B para determinar citotoxicidad. Se analizó la naturaleza de las interacciones entre los productos naturales y los fármacos quimioterapéuticos calculando el correspondiente índice de combinación (CI). Se encontró que el extracto, no tiene efecto citotóxico y si un efecto citostático sobre las líneas celulares estudiadas. Las combinaciones Doxorrubicina/C. malambo, permitieron reducir la concentración del fármaco desde 3,9 hasta 4,8 veces para inhibir la viabilidad celular en un 50% en la línea PC3, mientras que para MCF-7, se obtuvo un índice de reducción de la dosis de 2,29. En lo que respecta a la combinación del extracto y Paclitaxel solo mostro efecto sinérgico sobre la viabilidad celular de la línea PC3. Los hallazgos encontrados muestran el potencial farmacológico del extracto del C. malambo y abren las puertas a nuevos estudios tanto in vitro como in vivo que puedan demostrar la capacidad para lograr sinergismo y reducir las concentraciones terapéuticas de ambos fármacos.

In general, film media is a common entertainment media in society, which can actually be enjoyed in terms of visual and audio. However, in the experience of watching a film, there are special needs for people with sensory disabilities who are blind who have limited vision. Media transfer is something that will be done in this research process, so that the essence of the film itself can still be enjoyed by people with sensory disabilities. Through a qualitative research method, by taking an observational approach to people with sensory disabilities who are blind, the transfer of film media becomes a means of conveying communication from film media which generally consists of video and audio to audio media. Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), one of the goals of which is to prioritize inclusive and equal quality education, especially in this case for people with sensory disabilities who are blind. This experimental process was carried out as initial research in the development of ways and techniques for telling audio media so that it can be well received by people with sensory disabilities who are blind, informatively and based on the messages conveyed in it. The conclusion of this study resulted in an analysis of the experience of identifying the direction of hearing for people with visual disabilities. Seeing the form of audio film needs to be formed by paying attention to the details of the needs of each person with visual disabilities, then this process becomes something that needs to be tested first. So from the samples found there are several identifications that need to be tested further, and this process becomes one thing that will be tested again to get an analysis that is more in accordance with the needs of people with visual disabilities.

The phenomenon of radicalism among teenagers in Indonesia is increasingly worrying, so Pancasila education is one solution to prevent the spread of extreme ideology. This study aims to explore how Pancasila education in elementary schools can play a role in building students' character and preventing radicalization. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the application of Pancasila values ??in the elementary school curriculum can foster an attitude of tolerance and social awareness among students. Through interactive learning methods, such as group discussions and educational games, students find it easier to understand and internalize these values ??in their daily lives. In addition, the role of teachers as role models is very important in instilling Pancasila values ??in students. Teachers are expected to be able to create a learning environment that supports the development of positive character. However, challenges remain, especially related to the negative influence of social media that can influence students' thinking. Pancasila education must be taught consistently and innovatively to form a strong young generation in facing radical ideology. In conclusion, Pancasila education is not just a subject, but is the foundation for creating a safe and harmonious society. By instilling the noble values ??of Pancasila from an early age, it is hoped that future generations can grow into tolerant individuals who appreciate diversity.
Da ética aristotélica à literatura brasileira
Authors: Oliveira Thales Souza
Published: November 2024

A amizade, desde a antiguidade, é tema recorrente na prosa, na poesia e na música. Além disso, a amizade também foi objeto de reflexão de diferentes filósofos ao longo dos séculos. Considerando a amizade como algo sumamente necessário à vida e um elemento constituinte da felicidade, tal como proposto por Aristóteles – que dedicou os livros VIII e IX de sua Ética a Nicômaco, um verdadeiro tratado sobre a amizade, que discute sua importância na prática da virtude e na constituição da felicidade humana –, o presente trabalho se propõe a analisar, inicialmente, um corpus composto por obras artístico-literárias de autores brasileiros que versam sobre a amizade, incluindo letras de canções, crônicas e um poema, e a partir disso, reconstituir um possível imaginário comum acerca da amizade, buscando compreender o que seria uma amizade duradoura. Somado a isso, também se faz presente no trabalho a análise de capítulos selecionados dos livros VIII e IX de Ética a Nicômaco, de Aristóteles. A partir dessas duas análises, pretende-se relacionar o possível imaginário comum extraído dos textos não-filosóficos, com o tratado proposto por Aristóteles, em sua Ética a Nicômaco, destacando a presença de elementos descritos pelo filósofo, em meados do século IV a.C, no imaginário comum, presente nos dias atuais.
