Form and History: Hegel’s Philosophy of Art Today
Authors: Feige Daniel Martin
Published: December 2022

In this article, I discuss the philosophical position that marks the end of the Age of Aesthetics: Hegel's philosophy of art. I demonstrate how it has passed the test of time, and will further defend its systematic outlines. I reconstruct Hegel's philosophy of art in a way that relies less on Hegel’s own conceptual terminology, but, rather, attempts to shed light on the insights it can afford with regard to some more recent discussions: on the one hand, discussions about how to read Hegel of contemporary debates in postanalytical and continental philosophy, and on the other hand, in light of the post-Hegelian philosophy of art.

I reconstruct Hegel’s philosophy of art in the light of two key concepts: form and unity. Overall, my article has two parts. The first one deals with Hegel’s concept of form, the second deals with his concept of unity. In the background of my argument stands Hegel’s thought that art is a particular form of the development of the concept.

Hegel’s theory allows for an immanent reconstruction of art and thus a thinking of the autonomy of art. We should describe art as a particular form of experience for which a specific unityis characteristic – a kind of unity that entails that the form of experience cannot be understood in a formalist way, but must rather be understood as something that develops in and through history.
Beauty – A Brief Conceptual Journey
Authors: Seel Martin
Published: December 2022

The first part of the essay deals with four dimensions of aesthetic attraction in an attempt to provide a notion of beauty that is rich and robust enough to apply to different sorts and objects of aesthetic praise, including the productions of modern and contemporary arts. The second part confronts this apology of beauty with a number of test cases such as the ugly, the horrible and the sublime, including a discussion of putative couterexamples such as the films of Michael Haneke and the novels of Imre Kertész.
The Best Way to Locate a Purpose in Sport: Considerations in Aesthetics?
Authors: Culbertson Leon , McFee Graham
Published: December 2022

The paper highlights the centrality of some concepts from philosophy of sport for philosophical aesthetics. Once Best (BJA, 1974) conclusively answered negatively the fundamental question, ‘Can any sport-form be an artform?’, what further issues remained at the intersection of these parts of philosophy? Recent work revitalizing this interface, especially Mumford’s Watching Sport (2012), contested Best’s fundamental distinction between purposive and aesthetic sports, and insisted that purist viewers are taking an aesthetic interest in sporting events. Here, we defend Best’s conception against considerations Mumford hoped would bring the aesthetics of art and sport closer together, thereby elaborating the aesthetics of sport. But, against Mumford’s resolutely psychological conception of an aim, we follow Best to defend the centrality, for purposive sports, of the means/ends contrast even when taking an aesthetic interest in such sports. We conclude with general speculations about the potential future of the discussions originated here.
The aesthetics of garden conservation
Authors: Salwa Mateusz
Published: December 2022

The aim of the article is to discuss two theories of garden conservation. The difference between them lies in how they conceive of gardens and consequently what values they find worthy of protection. The ‘idealistic’ theory treats gardens as cultural objects similar to other works and demands that the form originally designed should be restored. The ‘materialistic’ theory claims that gardens can be only  conserved because of their processual qualities. The goal of conservation is then not to set back the garden process or stop it, but to keep it on and direct it. The author’s contention is that the latter theory is better because it corresponds with what gardens are, namely natural environments arranged by humans. This definition of a garden is discussed in the first part of the article.

With Friends Like These… or: How Not to Respond to the Imposition Objection
Authors: Doran Katheryn
Published: December 2022

Many analytically trained philosophers argue that for a movie to do philosophy it must contain arguments, or develop thought experiments, or provide counterexamples, otherwise whatever philosophy might seem to be in it is just the viewer's projection. Most of the analytic responses to what Tom Wartenburg calls the “the imposition objection” (IO), including his own, share an assumption I argue is unfounded, namely, that the traditional philosophical text is the standard by which we should judge the philosophical status of anything, including movies. I argue that tethering movies’ philosophy bona fides to standard philosophical works actually invites IO, absent a known philosophically minded creator behind the production. Accepting the argument-centric written text as the standard also begs the question about the nature of philosophy, and discounts (or worse) the philosophical powers of movies and other media; such a position also impoverishes the many and complex ways philosophy deepens our understanding of the world, of others, and of ourselves. I offer a liberating example in my account of Christopher Nolan’s Insomnia on its own philosophical terms.
What They See is What We Get in Film: Reality Tells the Fiction
Authors: Van Gerwen Rob
Published: December 2022

Robert Bresson's cinematography allows him to show the affordances that things and situations have for characters in a film. By intimating these affordances, Bresson authentically presents the affordances as well as the characters. The fact that Bresson views and conceives of his `actors' as models, rather than as malleable actors, illustrates, again, an effort to authentically film real persons in real situations. Recognising people authentically is done in real-life through a reciprocal gaze, which is not automatically available to the camera's lens, an apparatus that does not look back at one. Perhaps, Nuri Bilge Ceylan's approach fits this effort better: not a writing with sounds and images, but an intuitive use of homeliness.
Ordinary Language Film Studies
Authors: Klevan Andrew
Published: December 2022

This essay explains Ordinary Language Philosophy (OLP), because it is relatively unfamiliar to those working in the field of Film-Philosophy, and proposes it as beneficial to film study. OLP provides us with a method of philosophising in relation to films that (1) is not theoretical, paradigmatic or thematic, and is therefore potentially unrestrained because it is not a priori or determining; that (2) is context sensitive, proceeding on a case-by-case basis, while also capable of synoptic overview (through connective analysis); that (3) encourages conceptual clarification and responsive articulation in order to present a perspicacious picture of individual films and our experience of them; and that (4) can act therapeutically by uncoupling us from unhelpful linguistic attachments that may restrict, helping us to see anew.
Aesthetic Disinterestedness in Neuroaesthetics: A Phenomenological Critique
Authors: Vassiliou Fotini
Published: December 2022

In recent neuroaesthetic discussion, neuroscientists have linked aesthetic pleasure to the brain’s reward systems, but they have also attempted to dissociate it from utilitarian rewards and ultimately explain it as a disinterested state of mind. This paper examines this neuroaesthetic approach, juxtaposing it with elements of phenomenological thought on the subject of aesthetic disinterestedness, to present three interrelated concerns that can be raised from a phenomenological perspective, as well as to outline how to overcome these problems phenomenologically. The paper ends with the suggestion that neuroaesthetics, if it is ever going to offer something important or useful regarding our understanding of aesthetic experience, has to become phenomenologically sensitive and informed.

Review
Beauty and Civilization
Authors: Jacob Julia
Published: December 2022

The presence of an aesthetic judgment in an anthropological, scientific study may seem incongruous. One would think that the human body should be approached only in terms of "objective" criteria of functionality and measurable proportions.

However, to our surprise, two adjectives keep coming up in Buffon's description of the human body in his Histoire naturelle de l'Homme: 'beautiful' and 'ugly'.

To be sure, it is possible to determine that a person is beautiful through measurements and observations of bodily and facial symmetry, but most often, these proportions are not enough to explain why we find a person beautiful.

How does Buffon think about beauty when he writes the Natural History of Man? Does he understand it as a classificatory tool based on an objective system of measurement, or does he use his personal preference? On what criteria does he judge the physical aspect of the varieties in the human species?

Introduction
The strong minimalist thesis is too strong: Syntax is more than just merge
Authors: Satık Deniz
Published: December 2022

This paper raises specific puzzles for the Strong Minimalist Thesis (SMT) based on certain crosslinguistic patterns. I do so by pointing out that the SMT entails two undesirable consequences: first, the SMT assumes that the Borer-Chomsky Conjecture is true; in other words, that all syntactic variation across languages is due to lexical differences. Second, it assumes that there can be no ordering restrictions on Merge, because they would imply the existence of an independent linguistically proprietary entity. I first present crosslinguistic evidence from case and agreement that the Borer-Chomsky Conjecture alone is not sufficient to account for syntactic variation. I then present evidence for the existence of ordering restrictions on Merge, based on a cartographic distinction between high and low complementizers. I argue that both of these patterns are purely syntactic, in that they are independent of Merge. I conclude that these independent problems raise puzzles for saltationist theories of language evolution.
A mulher no cinema brasileiro e a tentativa de afastamento da heteronormatividade
Authors: Calegari Lizandro Carlos
Published: December 2022

The goal of this essay is to show that the three films Dona Flore seus dois maridos (1976), Luzia-homem (1984) and Romanceda empregada (1988), while they disrupt heteronormativity,are still heavily freighted vehicles of sexual and genderideologies. In the first case, Florípedes is a widow who marriesfor the second time. Sexually unsatisfied, she evokes the returnof her dead husband. She transgresses heteronormativity, sincesociety does not allow for polygamy, although she fulfills herrole as a woman. In Luzia-homem, the main character acts andthinks as a man, but ends up foregoing this behavior and shetakes up her destiny as a woman. In Romance da empregada,Fausta is submissive before any and all types of men, but shekeeps them out of her life and remains single. In these threesituations, the women attempt to mock the patriarchal code,but the plot of each film is structured in such a way that, as faras society is concerned, the women end up either repeating theroles imposed on them by patriarchal ideology or beingmarginalized. Such a situation reinforces a heterosexist,patriarchal, and masculinist posture.

This paper provides a brief overview of the origins of ethnoliturgicalcompositions and the scope of this aesthetic of musicin the church, especially stressing their link to the concept ofacculturation of the Theology of Liberation. The paper thenextends the discussion, pointing out what the musical-aestheticideas of this movement are, and why it is linked to the Theologyof Liberation. The main point noted in this paper is concernedwith the possible theological, pastoral and aesthetics reasons forits development and subsequent decline. Finally, the paperreflects on the Pop phenomenon and its influence onecclesiology and liturgical music, leading to some conclusivepoints on the character of an acculturated liturgical music in achurch increasingly marked by a Pop culture. The questionposed by the paper is: What are the pastoral and musicalconsequences of this influence?
Church, State, and Society during the Nicaraguan Revolution
Authors: Wilson John-Paul
Published: December 2022

The course of the Church's history in Nicaragua had changedfrom an institution led by a martyred Bishop protecting Indianrights before Rome and the Spanish King to one largelyconcerned with protecting its own interests followingNicaragua’s independence to one that had come to terms with itsmission to save souls and to serve its people. However, many ofthose who took the initiative to bring the Church toward a morehumanitarian orientation in modern times had allowedthemselves to become the tool of a revolutionary politicalmovement whose aim was to perpetuate its own power.Ironically, those who truly wished to serve God and His peoplefound themselves oppressed by those who claimed that theywere doing the same. After a long struggle, a free election in1990 brought to power a series of democratic governmentsallowing freedom of the Church to fulfil its mission.

El discurso del Poder Popular en Venezuela
Authors: García Chourio José Guillermo
Published: December 2022

The discourse of class struggle that has been attributed to the revolutionary Venezuelan process is an insufficient sample to be able to understand the political identities and alteration arisen during this evolution. Considering the orientation of the left-wing presented by the regime, this work analyzes the speech of the "popular power" of the so called Bolivarian Revolution, putting emphasis on the new logics and dynamics of integration and social and political exclusion that have been generated during the governments of Hugo Chávez, as much in the symbolic level as on the material level. This revolutionary speech of the popular power has been employed, beyond any socialist ideological paradigm, to support the building of social differentiation patterns between the people, which have created a worrying state of political and social intolerance. This context has been reinforced by the restrictions produced by state-citizen relationship where the intermediation through political clientelism and populism gives privileges principally to those persons loyal to the project of revolution.

Machado de Assis e o risum movet do poema herói-cómico. Algumas cláusulas a propósito d’O Almada
Authors: Serra Pedro G.
Published: December 2022

O Almada, mock-epic poem written by Machado de Assis, proposes a‘theory’ of this ‘difficult’ genre, within a literary program that wouldmean the invention of a first example of mock-epic poetry in Brazilianliterature. Machado’s proposal implies that the mock-epic looses referentiality;otherwise put, undergoes a process of anesthetization. This aesthetic autonomy,however, would signify the universalization of a textual phenomenology of “twofamous compositions that served as models, but are not truly inimitable”. In myarticle I elaborate on how Machado de Assis reads the mock-epic tradition,Boileau’s Le Lutrin and specifically António Dinis da Cruz e Silva’s O Hissope.
Pueblos mágicos y nuevas ruralidades. El caso de Álamos, Sonora
Authors: Rascón Cristina Marínez
Published: December 2022

The Mexican town, Alamos in Sonora has specific urban and rural characteristics thatare central in the national Mexican tourism policy program “Magic Villages”. Thisprogram is related to the local development and the redesign of touristic cities. Theapproach of the New Ruralities allows identifying the processes of socio-spatialtransformation of these centers and also the role of the productive sectors. The servicesfor the rural sector, led by the means of governmental plans and programs, arereflected in the everyday life, before and after the Magic Town Program; operativebureaus, commerce and general services are evidence of this transformation. Also, therecent operation of two mines reactivates the local economy through the generation ofdirect and indirect jobs. In summary, before being a Magic Town, Alamos was alreadya touristic city and yet, the center of one of the most poor municipalities of the state.

La política de estado para el desarrollo integral de la primera infancia en Colombia y la valoración de la educación infantil como primer nivel de la educación básica, en Brasil, se afianzan como avances en la resignificación del concepto de infancia y como textos y contextos para analizar las dinámicas propiciadas desde la educación inicial. El artículo tiene como objetivo comparar las experiencias de educación inicial, teniendo en cuenta que Brasil y Colombia transitan procesos desde los cuales se busca generar desarrollo integral, atención de calidad y preservación de derechos. La metodología es cualitativa y, a través del análisis textual discursivo, se indaga por los saberes de los docentes, que laboran en Centros de Desarrollo Infantil en la ciudad de Canoas en Brasil y Barranquilla en Colombia. Los resultados evidencian la reflexión sobre las fortalezas y debilidades en la formación de profesores.
Mutaciones de las sociedades y cohesión social
Authors: Dautrey Philippe
Published: December 2022

En México se pasó del corporativismo, emanado de la revolución de principios del siglo pasado, al neocorporativismo impulsado desde los organismos multilaterales. Mientras que el primero proponía un proyecto integrador apoyado en el Estado y su manejo del desarrollo económico, el segundo dio un giro al mercado bajo las premisas del neoliberalismo. Esas mutaciones supusieron la reordenación del entramado institucional y una mayor precariedad (inseguridad del trabajo y de la posición social), agregándose a la desigualdad característica de la sociedad corporativista (pobreza y pésima distribución de la riqueza). Implicaron además un deslizamiento hacia la lógica de la cohesión social, esto es, una integración basada en el mercado y en su corolario: la igualdad de oportunidades. Pero producen anomía y nuevas demandas de seguridad, con el riesgo de que la cuestión de la exclusión aferente a esas mutaciones sea reclasificada en objeto de la ley y del orden.
Trilogía postcolonial
Authors: Zárate Fernández Marcela Patricia
Published: December 2022

The literature of Latin America informs and captivates lectors through a myriad of sociocultural, political and economic contexts, thus validating it as an artistic expression representative of those postcolonial communities that authors wish to engage. In the case of postcolonial literature, both contemporary and historical events play a significant role in the development of a nation’s distinct identity and facilitate an incipient society’s recognition as an independent region. In this article, I illustrate how the three-part series of books Journey On, Aba Wama, and Gariganus’ Exile by Belizean author Nelita Doherty contribute significantly to the creation of postcolonial Belize through the establishment, struggles, and survival of the Afro-indigenous Garifuna community. This work critically analyzes themes such as emancipation, the concept of “nation”, a feminist perspective of protecting the nation, cultural heritage and remembrance, and subalternity viewed through the lenses of macrohistories and microhistories.
Transformative change
Authors: Andersson Vibeke , Clausen Helene Balslev , Velázquez García Mario
Published: December 2022

This article addresses the transformative role that tourism might play in developing economies. The main emphasis is on investment in sustainable community-based tourism as a way to alleviate poverty and improve livelihoods. Communities are representing sustainable and rooted social life while at the same time as a form of social structure, which can foster both social change and secure social coherence. We seek to explore whether the resilience perspective brings something new to discussions about tourism development and community, since earlier discussions have touched on subjects resembling “resilience”. By analyzing resilience in a community perspective, we argue that it might constrain the analytical use of the community concept. It seems to be just another tendency to move towards policy processes that are based on global (agendas) for how to construct resilience. These processes represent a top-down approach, limiting the notion of community rather than unfolding the proximities and distance embedded in community logics.
Re-writing the Sustainable Development Goals from marketplaces in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico
Authors: Clausen Helene Balslev , Velázquez García Mario Alberto
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to reflect on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and informality which is an economy not acknowledged within the SDGs. Based on anthropological fieldwork the article analyzes how informal, diverse economies in this case, marketplaces in different Latin American countries, might contribute to elaborate and rewrite sustainable development models. Throughout history, marketplaces in Latin America have provoked strong political debates because they operate in the informal sector and now they are increasingly being framed as tourist attractions. This creates an opportunity to reposition marketplaces as an asset in the formal economy. The informal, diverse economies constitute more than half of the GDPs in the Global South including Latin America. Despite repeated claims about the importance of informality as one of the fastest growing phenomena of our time and increasingly an issue of public and political concern, no systematic studies within tourism engages with the SDGs dealing with informality. Consequently, central to this paper is to consider integrating existing practices into SDGs to create pathways for sustainable development models.
A TVA to the Amazon forest? Shaping experts for development
Authors: Andrade Rômulo de Paula
Published: December 2022

This article aims to analyze the courses of the Superintendência de Valorização Econômica da Amazônia (SPVEA), the government agency responsible for development projects in the Brazilian Amazon. In the 1950s, SPVEA held courses for the technical experts that were going implement the region’s development plans. Amidst several intervention projects in the Amazon Forest, the teaching of modern planning techniques intended to award technical status to the actions taken and to remove political influence from the plans. The sources used in this paper are the syllabi of the courses held at Fundação Getúlio Vargas in the 1950s for future SPVEA workers as well as reports, books and advertising materials published by the agency itself. Through these historical sources, it will be possible to perceive the reception and adaptation of planning and development ideas that circulated in Brazil during the Cold War.
Mitologías de Auschwitz
Authors: Alanis Carla
Published: December 2022

¿Cómo contar el horror del pasado? La novela Auschwitz de Gustavo Nielsen imagina lo impensable: ¿y si el horror del campo de concentración no es más que un catálogo de torturas posibles, una burla en boca de un perverso? Partimos del supuesto de que el significado de Auschwitz es problemático porque, si bien alude al acontecimiento histórico, al mismo tiempo lo empobrece. Investigamos entonces la operación que permite tal denigración a partir de la noción de mito de Barthes en Mitologías (1957). No obstante, dado que es un perverso el que burla el sentido, damos cuenta del vínculo que los une a la sociedad que lo alberga ya que es ésta, en definitiva, quien nombra la perversidad. Por último, consideramos la relación que la novela traza entre el Estado nazi, la dictadura argentina y el presente de la diégesis a partir de lo que Esposito (2011) denomina paradigma inmunitario.

Sustainability of Rubber Farmers Cooperatives: Empirical Evaluation of Determining Factors
Authors: Nuanphromsakul Kajohnjak , Szczepańska-Woszczyna Katarzyna , Kot Sebastian , Chaveesuk Singha , Chaiyasoonthorn Wornchanok
Published: December 2022

The study investigated the factors that influence rubber farmers' cooperatives from the perspective of sustainability in Thailand. The research adopted a quantitative survey methodology with data purposively collected from 434 Thai rubber farmer groups. The variables included trust, sustainability, perceived value, satisfaction, loyalty, and brand image. The model was evaluated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), while Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to assess the hypotheses. The results indicated that the sustainability of the rubber farmers' cooperatives as a corporate entity is influenced by brand image, loyalty, and satisfaction. Trust was also found to have a significant effect on the satisfaction and loyalty of the rubber farmers' cooperatives. The research recommended that to enhance the sustainability of the rubber farmers' cooperative's brand image, loyalty, and satisfaction should be improved. The research's drawback is that it only looked at the rubber farmer cooperatives of Thailand as a corporation, and therefore, these factors should be taken into account when applying these results outside of this scope.

Published: December 2022

The study aims to identify the degree of direct payments concentration in selected Central and Eastern European Member States (compared to the entire EU) and outline the perspectives and recommendations for the next programming period. The spatial scope of the study includes Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria. The time scope covers the period 2009–2019. The survey indicates that the payments distribution in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and to a lesser extent also in Poland, is highly unbalanced. The analysed countries used the redistribution instruments, optional for the Member States, which were introduced by the 2013 CAP reform, to a moderate extent, in order to ensure a more even funds distribution between the beneficiaries. It cannot be ruled out that instruments ensuring a more even funds distribution would be politically easier to introduce at the EU level than at the national level. Nevertheless, also in the next financial perspective, in line with the subsidiarity principle, this issue is left to the Member States.

With this historical reconstruction it’s possible to observe and determine how his ontological research involves the subject of Godhood and how they evolve together in the period of time in which being is discovered and interpreted as Ereignis and as Anfang, but most importantly, when this idea becomes the object of an insistent philosophical work that advances towards a more precise formulation and completion of the horizon of its problems, in a group of initially secret writings that aimed to provide an answer to the “question of being”.
Wittgenstein y la Filosofía
Authors: Tomasini Bassols Alejandro
Published: December 2022

En este ensayo reconstruyo y contrasto las dos concepciones de la filosofía desarrolladas por Ludwig Wittgenstein en sus dos grandes periodos filosóficos. Uno de mis objetivos es resaltar la importancia de Bertrand Russell en la gestación de ambas concepciones. Hago ver que el elemento común a ambas concepciones es la convicción de que la filosofía tradicional brota por incomprensiones concernientes, respectivamente, a la lógica o a la Gramática del lenguaje. Sostengo que Wittgenstein inventó una nueva actividad intelectual, internamente vinculada con la filosofía aunque radicalmente diferente a ella, para la cual quizá el mejor epíteto sea ‘anti-filosofía’.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo é fruto da pesquisa realizada para a tese de doutorado intitulada “Avaliação da matemática escolar: contribuições da Pedagogia da Escola Nova”. A pesquisa, bibliográfica e documental tem como objetivo apreender as ações implementadas pelo Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais (CEPE) na segunda metade da década de 1950 e busca responder à questão norteadora: quais vestígios da matematização da pedagogia podem ser apreendidos nas fontes históricas que fazem parte do acervo pessoal da Professora Pórcia Guimarães Alves, uma representante da Avaliação Objetiva? A investigação, orientada pela História Cultural, tem como conceitos norteadores o de cultura escolar (JULIA, 2001), estratégias e táticas (DE CERTEAU, 2011), e os estudos sobre pedagogia científica (VALENTE, 2016) e (PINHEIRO; VALENTE, 2015). O estudo mostrou forte movimento de observação e direcionamento do ensino, tal que os estudos realizados pelo CEPE, por meio de ferramentas estatísticas, quantificavam o aprendizado e ampliavam a prática de novas estratégias metodológicas e avaliativas a partir de experiências que levavam em consideração os conhecimentos matemáticos. Também foi possível constatar que as práticas inovadoras, adotadas pelas escolas primárias no período de estudo, revelam a preocupação com a matematização da pedagogia e a adoção de critérios e processos que assegurem a objetividade na verificação do rendimento escolar a partir de práticas pedagógicas orientadas e organizadas pelo Centro de Demonstração do Ensino Primário do Paraná.

Este artigo propõe analisar as produções do Pe. Leonel Franca S. J. em prol da cultura católica nos periódicos Brotéria e Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia, de Portugal, nas décadas de 1930 e 1940. Tal abordagem é ancorada em Certeau (2008), ao evidenciar um conjunto de estratégias arquitetadas no engajamento de intelectuais (eclesiásticos e leigos) na defesa de temas primordiais ao status quo da Igreja Católica. Nessa direção, a presença do intelectual Pe. Leonel Franca S. J. no campo editorial tem expressão significativa nos avanços das instituições e letras católicas no campo sociopolítico-cultural no Brasil. Ao indagar sobre relação intrínseca dos periódicos católicos nacionais e internacionais, possibilita contatar uma rede de sociabilidade que fortalece a presença da cultura católica. A metodologia abordada na investigação privilegia a análise dos periódicos jesuítas portugueses e a produção documental portuguesa/brasileira.

O uso de estratégias de aprendizagem tem sido proposto como um fator de proteção ao sucesso acadêmico, contribuindo para a aprendizagem autorregulada. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a frequência do uso das estratégias de aprendizagem de professores em exercício. Participaram do estudo 610 professores, com idade entre 22 e 71 anos. Foi utilizada como instrumento de medida a Escala de Avaliação de Estratégias de Aprendizagem – EEA, constituída por 35 itens de estratégias de aprendizagem, subdivididos em 3 fatores. As análises evidenciaram que os participantes relataram utilizar as estratégias de Autorregulação Cognitiva e Metacognitiva e as de Autorregulação dos Recursos Internos e Contextuais com maior frequência em relação ao uso das estratégias de Autorregulação Social. Não foi verificada diferença significativa em função do sexo. Além disso, observou-se uma tendência de que, quanto maior a idade e o tempo de experiência na ação docente, mais estratégico é o professor, segundo relatado na EEA-U, para os fatores de Autorregulação Cognitiva e Metacognitiva e de Autorregulação dos Recursos Internos e Contextuais. Nossos achados indicam a necessidade de fomentar as políticas de formação inicial e continuada de professores em relação ao incentivo do uso de estratégias de aprendizagem em virtude dos seus benefícios para ensinar e aprender.

Driven by global demand for new energy, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have developed rapidly due to their competitive performance. Although LIBs show the advantages of high capacity and good cycling stability, their disadvantages such as uneven distribution of lithium resources are gradually exposed. Therefore, with abundant reserves, Na-ion batteries (NIB) have become one of the most promising solutions to make up for the deficiency of Li-ion battery. The NIBs layered oxide cathodes have the most potential applications of cathode material due to their high specific capacity (167 mAh·g–1 in 2.4–4.3 V) and simple synthesis method. However, improving the cycling stability of layered cathode materials is one of the keys to their large-scale industrialization. To develop high capacity and cycling stability cathode materials, the Mg2+ is substituted for Ni2+ in NaNi0.4Cu0.1Mn0.4Ti0.1O2 (NCMT), thereby obtaining a NaNi0.35Mg0.05Cu0.1Mn0.4Ti0.1O2 (NCMT-Mg) cathode material. The NCMT-Mg has a high reversible specific capacity of 165 mAh·g–1 in a voltage window of 2.4–4.3 V. The reversible specific capacity of about 110 mAh·g–1 at 0.1 C after 350 cycles with a capacity retention of 67.3% is about 13% higher than the counterpart of NCMT. The irreversible reaction is suppressed from P'3 phase to X phase for NCMT. The ex-XRD spectrometers further prove that the NCMT-Mg shows a P3 and X mixed phase after being initially charged to 4.3 V, but the NCMT shows an X phase. The irreversible phase transition is suppressed to increase the cycling stability. The inactive Mg2+ replaces Ni2+, reducing the charge compensation and stabilizing the structure, the inactive Mg2+ can activate the charge compensation of Ni2+/Cu2+. The electrochemical activity increases from 77% to 86%. The high capacity and excellent cycling stability prove that the NCMT-Mg structure remains intact after various current rates have been tested. The long cycling stability mechanism is further systematically studied by using various technologies. The present work will provide an important reference for developing high-performance Na-ion cathode materials.

Axin1 is a key regulator of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Roles of Axin1 in skeletal development and in disease occurrence have not been fully defined. Here, we report that Axin1 is essential for lower limb development. Specific deletion of Axin1 in limb mesenchymal cells leads to fibular hemimelia (FH)-like phenotype, associated with tarsal coalition. Further studies demonstrate that FH disease is associated with additional defects in Axin1 knockout (KO) mice, including decreased osteoclast formation and defects in angiogenesis. We then provide in vivo evidence showing that Axin1 controls limb development through both canonical β-catenin and BMP signaling pathways. We demonstrate that inhibition of β-catenin or BMP signaling could significantly reverse the FH phenotype in mice. Together, our findings reveal that integration of β-catenin and BMP signaling by Axin1 is required for lower limb development. Defect in Axin1 signaling could lead to the development of FH disease.
