Authors: Raj Keerthan , Aithal P. S.
Published: January 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered a lot of studies on its impact, the way in which countries managed or coped with the issues arising out of the pandemic, and so on. While countries had several lessons to learn in terms of speed and thrust on leapfrogging digital capabilities and also creating a super-fast crisis access team in health considering the intensity and surge in numbers that needed critical care globally, the fact of the matter is that it is the low income category of the population of every country that had to suffer the most hardships. In this paper, the researchers study a set of this base of the pyramid population through a mixed approach, to understand the severity and impact that the pandemic and its associated restrictions and government measures had on the population.

Este estudo buscou analisar em que medida o Pronaf vem estimulando a produção agroecológica na agricultura familiar, em municípios do Território da Cidadania Cantuquiriguaçu, com ênfase no subprograma Pronaf Agroecologia. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa procurou-se compreender limitações e potencialidades do acesso ao crédito para a produção orgânica/agroecológica. Os recursos metodológicos utilizados foram pesquisa bibliográfica e levantamento de dados secundários e primários. A pesquisa bibliográfica e os dados secundários confirmam baixo acesso ao Pronaf como programa e inexistência de acesso ao subprograma denominado Agroecologia. Quanto aos dados primários, foram efetuadas entrevistas com 31 agricultores familiares que atuam na produção orgânica/agroecológica. Nesta etapa os resultados apontam que há necessidade de recursos financeiros para desenvolver a produção orgânica/agroecológica, entretanto as possibilidades de acesso ao Pronaf, como política pública, estão muito distantes da realidade dos agricultores familiares pesquisados.

Published: January 2021

O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar os determinantes no tempo de corresidência de filhos adultos no Brasil, bem como analisar de se o tempo de corresidência se alterou no período de 1991 e 2010, tendo como base os microdados dos censos demográficos do IBGE. Os resultados sugerem que o tempo de corresidência aumentou no período de tempo estudado. As principais variáveis que afetam o tempo de corresidência estão associados dois componentes básicos: um associado ao local de residência e outro aos atributos familiares. Em relação ao primeiro, verifica-se um tempo maior de corresidência em áreas urbanas e nas regiões mais desenvolvidas. No tocante ao último ponto, indivíduos com pais com maior de escolaridade tendem corresidir por mais tempo com os pais.

Published: January 2021

Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a interação dos fatores que caracterizam a relação entre agricultores responsáveis pela produção de sementes de milho (fornecedores) e a indústria de sementes (compradores). Quanto à natureza, esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como aplicada. Quanto aos objetivos, como descritiva. Quanto à forma de abordagem do problema, como qualitativa. Quanto aos procedimentos técnicos, documental. Os dados foram analisados mediante análise de conteúdo dos contratos de produção de sementes das principais multinacionais instaladas nosso país. Os resultados mostram que uma parceria bem-sucedida é altamente influenciada pela confiança, sendo fundamental para a qualidade do relacionamento, e que um relacionamento duradouro contribui para a adoção de práticas de gestão da qualidade. Ficou evidente a importância que a indústria confere ao atendimento às especificações e ao controle de qualidade nas operações agrícolas, e que os agricultores devem reconhecer e assumir sua parcela de responsabilidade pela qualidade.

AGRICULTURA URBANA NA REGIÃO CENTRAL DE PALMAS, TOCANTINS: CONVENCIONAL OU AGROECOLÓGICA? Urban agriculture in the central region of Palmas, Tocantins: conventional or agroecological?
Authors: Polastrini Alessandra , Silva Claudia Regina de Sousa e , Bazzoli João Aparecido
Published: January 2021

Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa analisar se as hortas urbanas na região central de Palmas, se enquadram no sistema convencional ou agroecológico. Foram pesquisadas quatro hortas, localizadas nas quadras 1006, 1106, 1206 e 1306 Sul. A pesquisa consistiu em aplicação de questionários a 42 horticultores e entrevista a dois servidores de órgãos ligados ao programa Hortas Urbanas. O estudo apontou que existe uma incongruência entre o quantitativo de horticultores cadastrados e aqueles que trabalham nas hortas. O horticultor é, majoritariamente, do sexo feminino, de baixa renda e baixa escolaridade. Verificou-se a utilização de produtos incompatíveis com a produção agroecológica. Porém, há um processo de transição do convencional, pois observou-se apropriação de técnicas de manejo baseados na agroecologia. Há fiscalização e assistência técnica, todavia, estas acontecem em número insuficiente para garantir adequada orientação do horticultor e garantir a qualidade dos produtos ao consumidor. São necessários mais estudos e atenção do Poder Público.

Published: January 2021

O trabalho apresenta resultados da expansão da soja no Brasil com o objetivo de descrever o processo de expansão desta cultura nas principais regiões produtoras do território brasileiro. Para isso foram utilizadas fontes secundárias de área colhida e volume de produção, a partir de dados do SIDRA/IBGE. Os principais resultados indicam que o Rio Grande do Sul e o Paraná foram os estados líderes na produção da soja no país até meados de 1990. Nos anos 2000 a hegemonia passa a ser assumida pela Região Centro-Oeste, com destaque para o Mato Grosso, que se torna o estado brasileiro com maior área e volume de produção de soja, mas igualmente ganhando espaço em outros estados das Regiões Norte e Nordeste. Os estados do Paraná e Rio Grande do Sul se mantêm, respectivamente, como segundo e terceiro maiores produtores de soja no país.

Published: January 2021

Este trabalho objetivou analisar se é viável economicamente utilizar o biogás como combustível veicular para abastecer a frota da fazenda Córrego Azul, localizada em Brasilândia, no Mato Grosso do Sul. Foram prospectados três cenários, nos quais alteram-se essencialmente a produção de biogás e a distância de seu transporte. No primeiro cenário, utilizou-se biogás de duas granjas da fazenda, que contém 2 biodigestores, e foi encaminhado via gasoduto até o microposto. No segundo cenário, considerou-se o biogás de apenas uma granja, que contém 1 biodigestor, e foi encaminhado ao mesmo local. No terceiro cenário, foi considerado o microposto próximo a um biodigestor. Todos cenários apresentaram Valor Presente Líquido e o Valor Presente Líquido Anualizados positivos, mas apenas o último cenário apresentou Taxa Interna de Retorno acima da taxa mínima de atratividade, demonstrando ser o cenário mais interessante para investimento.

Published: January 2021

O Brasil, maior produtor e exportador de soja do mundo, ainda enfrenta sérios problemas no transporte da soja produzida. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as limitações e os principais problemas do transporte da soja no Brasil, destacando suas principais consequências e os possíveis meios de solução evidenciados pela literatura dos últimos vinte anos. Metodologicamente, o trabalho foi classificado como descritivo e qualitativo, utilizou-se o procedimento técnico de Revisão Sistemática da Literatura e seguiu o protocolo de Cronin et. al. (2008). Os principais achados que revelam as limitações e problemas do transporte de soja no Brasil relacionam-se à falta de estruturas de apoio, os baixos níveis das estradas, a fragilidade nas infraestruturas hidroviária e ferroviária, as más condições dos veículos de transporte e um sistema deficiente de balanças para pesagem. Entende-se que os resultados podem direcionar agendas de pesquisa, especialmente, no tocante à logística e o transporte da soja.
MARKET SHARE DE EMPRESAS DOMÉSTICAS NA CADEIA PRODUTIVA DA CARNE BOVINA NO BRASIL Market share hold by domestic companies in the beef supply chain in Brazil
Authors: Medina Gabriel da Silva
Published: January 2021

Neste trabalho, objetiva-se identificar a participação do capital brasileiro nos principais segmentos da cadeia produtiva da carne bovina produzida no Brasil a partir de dados das empresas que atuam no setor. O estudo revela que 65,6% da cadeia produtiva da carne são controlados por grupos brasileiros. A participação doméstica se destaca nos segmentos de frigoríficos (com 75,7% de market share), de produção em campo (99,3%), de equipamentos (100%) e de sementes para pasto (95,0%). O aumento do market share de grupos domésticos ao longo dos segmentos agroindustriais que melhor remuneram capital e trabalho é uma alternativa para superar a atual abordagem de crescimento do agronegócio pela expansão para novas fronteiras agrícolas com altos custos sociais e ambientais.

Authors: Ferreira Diniz Victoria Maria , Schmidt Carla Maria , Cielo Ivanete Daga
Published: January 2021

A abordagem teórica das formas plurais das transações propõe a possibilidade de que as firmas utilizem duas ou mais formas de organização para a mesma transação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a existência de formas plurais nas transações entre os laticínios e os fornecedores de leite na região Oeste do Paraná e analisar os determinantes para a escolha dessas estruturas alternativas de organização da transação. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo de carácter descritivo por meio de entrevistas realizadas com integrantes do elo agroindústria, totalizando 12 laticínios entrevistados. Os principais resultados indicam que 66% dos laticínios analisados adotam formas plurais para coordenar suas transações de compra de leite. O que permitiu inferir que as firmas procuram estabelecer mais de uma forma de aquisição de leite, buscando minimizar a incerteza.

Published: January 2021

O presente trabalho trata da pesquisa e da produção de recursos não convencionais, em especial com uso da técnica de fraturamento hidráulico, o princípio da precaução foi invocado nas ações judiciais que questionam as iniciativas de sua implementação. Ao analisar a aplicação do princípio da precaução ao caso de recursos não convencionais e fraturamento hidráulico, foi possível verificar que se estava diante dos pressupostos de aplicação do princípio, mas que não teriam sido extraídas todas as consequências da precaução. Com fundamento no panorama da definição dos contornos do princípio como mecanismo de gestão de risco e de planejamento conclui-se que o princípio seria adequado a subsidiar a tomada de decisões políticas em contexto de incerteza científica. Por fim, reflete-se sobre mecanismos amplos que englobem avaliação de impactos, análise de riscos e decisão transparente e democrática, trazendo especialmente a avaliação ambiental estratégica como sugestão de instrumento que permita efetivar o roteiro da precaução.

During the course of their clinical work; Health Care Workers (HCWs) are at risk of acquitting HBV infection or transmitting it to their patients. Vaccination for medical personnel against HBV  in Yemen Republic is recommended but not strictly enforced. Detection of the viral hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg) is one of the accurate and cheap methods to assess HBV prevalence. This method is used in this study to assess HBV prevalence among HCWs in Taiz; to in order to improve on methods of interventions to control this infection among them. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the vaccination status and the seroprevalence of HBsAg among HCWs in Taiz; Yemen republic.  Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted through the period between January and March, 2018, and from April and July, 2019, in the part of Taiz City; Yemen Republic belonging to legitimate authorities. 362 HCWs were included in this study and are selected through repeated casual visits to hospitals and medical centers. A questioner was made to get information on the participants’ characteristics and their vaccination status, medical hestory and risk factors for HBV transmission. Five ml venous blood was then collected from every participant to assess HBsAg. Results: the overall vaccination percentage was 21.54% (27.5% in male and 17.9% of female). The seroprevalence of HBsAg was 2.76%, all vaccinated participants were HBsAg negative. Needle stick and sharp object injury was an important risk factor of HBV infection.

In secret laboratories various synthetic or semi-synthetic amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) are produced and processed. Stimulants of the form of amphetamine (ATS) are the second most common illegal drugs used worldwide, following cannabis. ATS production has increased worldwide, particularly from the Middle East. Fenethylline (CaptagonTM), a derivative of amphetamine, is commonly marketed as a street drug. Objective: this research aimed at applying gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC / MS) for fenethylline profiling of confiscated samples from the Saudi market. Methodology: The study of GC / MS was conducted on a general-purpose column (30 mm 0.25 mm i.d) filled with 0.25 mm cross bond, 5% diphenyl dimethyl polysiloxane (Rtx-5MS). The mass was worked in the process of impacting the electron. Results and discussion: Analyzed samples showed positive results for amphetamine in concentrations ranging from 0.07 to 43.02 percent of the substance in 60 percent of the samples. Caffeine was also present in 60 per cent of the samples at levels between 0.61 and 60.31 per cent. In the MS of the other active compounds were recorded in different proportions. Lastly, the presence of other substances in fenethylline samples may contribute to intoxication.
A Complexidade no Fenômeno do Conflito
Authors: Moreira Katia Denise , Rodrigues Luci Mari Aparecida , Costa Alexandre Marino
Published: January 2021

Considerado o pressuposto de que o fenômeno do conflito apresenta bases epistemológicas distintas, com vertentes que ou o refutam ou o consideram essencial para a evolução humana, e, ainda, que essa questão paradoxal se alinha às concepções da teoria da complexidade, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar, a partir de bases epistemológicas, a associação entre o fenômeno do conflito e o paradigma da complexidade. Nessa direção, buscou-se o alinhamento entre os elementos estruturantes de uma e outra teoria; ação que permitiu alcançar como resultado a concepção de que o conflito tem natureza complexa devido a sua dinamicidade, não linearidade, ambiguidade, reconstrutivismo, dialogicidade evolutiva, irreversibilidade e intensidade. Concluiu-se que o fenômeno é considerado essencial quando consolidado como elemento contrário à estagnação e, consequentemente, promotor da evolução.

O neoliberalismo, fortemente presente no contexto nacional a partir da década de 1990, embasou uma série de medidas tomadas pelos governantes em todas as esferas da administração pública que levaram a reformulação do papel do Estado. O resultado é a conformação de um cenário em que se presenciam processos de privatizações de empresas públicas, fragmentação e focalização das políticas socais, encolhimento do Estado, flexibilização das leis trabalhistas, como a aprovação da Lei n. 13.429/2017 (Brasil, 2017) que amplia a terceirização de todas as atividades nos setores público e privado. No âmbito da educação, as consequências de tais medidas também podem ser identificadas como o aumento da flexibilização das contratações de docentes no setor público. No Paraná, a administração pública passou a utilizar de um dispositivo previsto constitucionalmente para contratação de pessoal temporário visando atender as demandas emergenciais de excepcional interesse público, regulamentada na Lei Estadual n. 108/2005 (Paraná, 2005), como forma de manutenção da oferta dos serviços públicos, como é o caso do grande volume de professores contratados temporariamente. Esse fenômeno está presente na rede estadual de ensino médio e no ensino superior. Com base nos dados do Censo Acadêmico da Secretaria de Estado da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior (SETI) e bibliografias pertinentes, o presente artigo identifica um aumento das contratações de professores temporários nas universidades estaduais do Paraná no período que compreende de 2002 a 2010, bem como analisa as configurações do contrato de trabalho dos professores temporários.
Design thinking. Model pracy badawczej w obliczu dzikich problemów nauk społecznych
Authors: Zielińska Ewa
Published: January 2021

Design thinking to w terminologii wzornictwa przemysłowego proces prowadzący do powstania produktu. Richard Buchanan proponuje, by zaadaptować go również na potrzeby dziedzin innych niż sztuka użytkowa. W artykule zostaje rozpatrzona zasadność owego postulatu w stosunku do nauk społecznych. Autorka analizuje kilka płaszczyzn praktyki badawczej, dla których model myślenia projektowego mógłby stanowić wartościowy punkt odniesienia. Propozycje ich modyfikacji na podstawie design thinking traktuje jako pewne typy idealne i zaproszenie do dalszych dyskusji.
Etnografia/animacja/sztuka. Obrona metodologiczna
Authors: Rakowski Tomasz
Published: January 2021

W tekście staram się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, jak wprowadzać elementy działania za pomocą sztuki w środowiskach wiejskich, często peryferyjnych, nie budując jednocześnie pozycji wyższości i dominacji. Przedstawiam projekt animacyjny Prolog. Nierozpoznane wymiary rozwoju kulturalnego z roku 2011, a następnie jego rozwinięcie Etnografia/Animacja/Sztuka z 2012 roku, który od kilku lat prowadzimy wraz z całym zespołem animatorów, artystów i etnografów w wioskach w okolicach Szydłowca, w miejscach dotkniętych na dużą skalę nieopłacalnością drobnego rolnictwa i lokalnym, niekończącym się bezrobociem. Pokazuję, jak badania etnograficzne stopniowo ugruntowują i ubogacają animację oraz jak animacja kultury tworzy jednocześnie sytuacje badawcze, w których rzeczywistość etnograficzna staje się „gęsta”, staje się aktualnym widowiskiem i dynamicznym działaniem kulturowym. Staram się pokazać, jak etnografia w połączeniu z działaniami animacyjnymi stwarza warunki, by ujawniło się to, co bardzo istotne w życiu tych społeczności – niejawny wymiar ich twórczego działania i ich oddolną, spontaniczną samoorganizację. Buduję w ten sposób metodologiczną perspektywę działania w kulturze, której celem jest nie tyle wywołanie „mechanicznych” efektów i zmiany społecznej, ile stworzenie wspólnego, kulturotwórczego wydarzenia o nieprzewidywalnych i emergentnych rezultatach.
Reprezentacja zdominowanych przez działania artystyczne. Jej szanse i zagrożenia na podstawie działalności Krzysztofa Wodiczko
Authors: Mikołajewska Karolina
Published: January 2021

W artykule analizowana jest sytuacja reprezentacji zdominowanych, co stanowi jedną ze strategii sztuki publicznej. Celem takiej działalności jest konstruowanie na nowo przestrzeni publicznej i odnowienie demokracji. Na przykładzie dorobku Krzysztofa Wodiczki, który konsekwentnie posługuje się strategią reprezentacji, ujmując się m.in. za ofiarami przemocy czy imigrantami, autorka stara się pokazać napięcia związane z taką praktyką. Podejmowane wątki są następujące: po pierwsze, kto jest nadawcą komunikatu – czy jest nim artysta, czy zdominowani? Po drugie, na ile zdominowani są w stanie autonomicznie sformułować swój komunikat, a po trzecie – kto może być odbiorcą sztuki publicznej: całe społeczeństwo, warstwy dominujące czy sami uczestnicy projektów? Mimo licznych wątpliwości i dwuznaczności związanych z reprezentowaniem wydaje się, że tylko dzięki artyście grupy nieuprzywilejowane mogą zaistnieć w sferze publicznej.

Artykuł prezentuje ekoteologiczne sugestie francuskiego socjologa, współtwórcy teorii aktora-sieci (ANT), Brunona Latoura. Omówiona zostaje postsekularna koncepcja żywej mowy religijnej Latoura (wymagającej szeregu translacji konstytuujących bliskość w interlokutorach).

Kobieta i ciało. Ujęcie teosocjologiczne
Authors: Gawkowska Aneta
Published: January 2021

Artykuł w optyce teosocjologicznej zarysowuje powody nowożytnego wyparcia kobiecości i cielesności z centrum zagadnień teoretycznych oraz ich deprecjacji w praktyce społecznej. Autorka nie podejmuje analizy praktyki, ale śledzi losy idei, które mają praktyczne skutki społeczne. Podejmuje refleksję nad obecną w teologii ciała i nowym feminizmie perspektywą filozofii realistycznej z odmienną od nowożytnej wizją dobra, wolności, relacji społecznych i natury człowieka. Stara się pokazać atrakcyjność powrotu do pytań i inspiracji obecnych w teologii dla współczesnych nauk społecznych. Wyparte lub ignorowane w nowożytności motywy związane z ciałem i kobiecością (o czym świadczą pewne argumenty z teorii Ockhama, Kartezjusza, Bacona czy Kanta) wracają obecnie w wielu postaciach. Mało znana forma tego powrotu, jaką prezentuje nowy feminizm, wydaje się autorce najciekawsza z powodu radykalnego odwrócenia typowych dla nowożytności ujęć kwestii receptywności, wolności i dobra.
Postsekularne konstelacje nowoczesności. O historycznych związkach religii i nauk społecznych
Authors: Warchala Michał
Published: January 2021

Epokę nowoczesną postrzega się zwykle jako obszar permanentnego konfliktu między religią i sekularyzmem, wiarą i rozumem, teologią i nauką. W tym kontekście pojęcie „postsekularyzm” może być swego rodzaju światełkiem w tunelu – nadzieją nie tyle na ominięcie tego sporu (dziś coraz bardziej już jałowego), ile na pewną modyfikację pojęć w nim używanych i inne spojrzenie na uczestniczące w nim strony. Postsekularyzm” to pojęcie historyczne ułatwiające nową interpretację. Niniejszy tekst stanowi skromną próbę tego rodzaju interpretacji, która zwraca uwagę na nowoczesne zjawiska przekraczające granice między wrogimi obozami religii i sekularyzmu. Zjawiska te nazywam postsekularnymi „konstelacjami”, jako że są to w istocie konstelacje autorów i idei. Pierwszą z nich jest romantyzm w swej wczesnej, najbardziej twórczej fazie: w Niemczech zwany frühe Romantik, a w Wielkiej Brytanii – High Romanticism. Druga postsekularna konstelacja pojawia się w okresie modernizmu, a składają się na nią: socjologiczny dyskurs na temat religii Maxa Webera, pragmatyczna obrona wiary religijnej Williama Jamesa oraz mocno idiosynkratyczna reinterpretacja tradycji żydowskiej dokonana przez Hermanna Cohena, Franza Rosenzweiga i Waltera Benjamina.
Racjonalność odroczona: postsekularne antycypacje amerykańskie w myśli George’a Santayany
Authors: Kremplewska Katarzyna
Published: January 2021

George Santayana był filozofem, krytykiem kultury i ateistą żywo zainteresowanym religią, a także adwokatem teorii o naturalnym ugruntowaniu ludzkiej duchowości, której zapoznanie zarzucał nowoczesnym formom życia. Odwołania do tekstów z różnych okresów jego twórczości w konfrontacji z myślą Williama Jamesa, Petera Bergera czy Charlesa Taylora mają na celu uwypuklenie postsekularnych wątków jego myślenia o religii i wykazanie, że to właśnie one zapewniają tej nowatorskiej myśli jedność. Ukute przez Santayanę określenie postracjonalności sprowadza się do przekonania, że myślenie odniesione do pewnej tradycji i posługujące się pojęciami umożliwiającymi odtwarzanie pewnej struktury sprzyjającej pożądanym formom świadomego życia, nawet w momencie gdy naiwna wiara i tradycyjne formy religijności się wyczerpały, ma szansę przetrwać, wspierając konstrukcję sensu, wysiłek samodoskonalenia i radzenie sobie z cierpieniem przez podtrzymywanie naturalnego dla człowieka ruchu autotranscendencji.

Nudna prawda i osiągnięcia badań systemowych
Authors: Winczorek Jan
Published: January 2021

Artykuł wychodzi od krytycznego namysłu nad znanym sloganem J. Mackiewicza „tylko prawda jest ciekawa”, traktując go jako odzwierciedlenie jednego z możliwych podejść do problemu zaangażowania poznania i neutralności wiedzy. Następnie wykorzystuje narzędzia pojęciowe teorii systemów Niklasa Luhmanna do analizy stanowisk wyrażanych w tej sprawie w socjologii. W konkluzji wysuwa twierdzenie, że utrzymanie tożsamości socjologii jako nauki jest zależne od jej powodzenia w przyjmowaniu deflacyjnej, a nie inflacyjnej koncepcji wiedzy i budowania teorii o wystarczającym poziomie złożoności. To zaś pozwala na postawienie wniosku, że prawda jest raczej nudna, a społeczna rola socjologii sprowadza się do wskazywania, jaka wiedza o społeczeństwie jest wiedzą pewną, a jaka nie.
Socjologia wiedzy jako terapia dyskursu publicznego
Authors: Sojak Radosław
Published: January 2021

Wychodząc od koncepcji zaangażowania Charlesa Millsa, autor wykazuje, iż poddana pośredniej i bezpośredniej krytyce nie może stanowić bezproblemowej postawy rozwiązania problemu zaangażowania socjologa w życie publiczne. Jako narzędzie wyjścia z tego impasu przedstawiana jest socjologia wiedzy. Autor dowodzi, że dopiero jej nieklasyczne wersje związane z socjologią wiedzy naukowej niejako przypadkiem rozwiązują problem zaangażowania, uniwersalizując etykę jako ostateczne usprawiedliwienie wszelkich zmian społecznych.

Introduction and Aim: Plants are considered to be novel source of active compounds having pharmacological properties and help in the development of therapeutic agents. Hence, this study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-proliferating activity of aqueous and methanolic leaf extracts of Grewia heterotricha Mast.

Materials and Methods: The aqueous and methanolic leaf extracts of the plant were assessed for their in-vitro antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging activity, in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan induced rat paw edema method, in-vivo analgesic activity by acetic acid-induced writhing test and in-vitro anti- proliferating activity by MTT assay.

Results: The methanolic extract had shown very significant DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 value 98.95?g/ml than aqueous extract and showed a significant reduction in the paw volume of rats at the concentration of 100 mg/kg body weight indicating potent anti-inflammatory activity compared with the reference standard Diclofenac sodium. Both the extracts showed significant analgesic effect (p<0.001) in acetic acid-induced pain models in a dose dependent manner. The methanolic extract showed higher analgesic activity compared to aqueous extract by inhibiting the pain indicated by a decrease in the number of writhes. In addition, both the extracts showed a decrease in MCF-7 cell viability at the concentration of 550µg/ml. Compared to the aqueous extract, MEGH has shown more cytotoxic effect on the cancer cell lines.

Conclusion: The results suggest that both aqueous and methanolic extracts of Grewia heterotricha Mast. leaves possess potent antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferating properties, which supports the use of the plant in traditional medicine. Further investigation is required to illuminate on its active compounds.

The rapid development of the Internet blurs the geographical concept of province. In the “space of the worldwide web”, centers emerge, become influential and then lose their status so quickly that they simply have no time to become a metropolis. Architectural education experiences these trends to the full extent.The global crisis of the educational system has created a strong demand for distant forms of the professional training; while the coronavirus pandemic has boosted the development of online education.The themes of students’ projects are also changing: provincial cities have become a popular topic for students of metropolitan universities. Even campus architecture is under the pervasive influence of the Internet.The collection of articles devoted to the problems and prospects of the development of architectural education in the new context brings up the topic that will be continued in our next issues.
There are no provinces in the Internet
Authors: Bulgakova Elena
Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of the development of online forms of architectural education. The processes of the development of architectural education from Vitruvius to the present day are examined. Two different paradigms of such learning are highlighted. The combinatorial paradigm is based on a finite set of standard elements and considers design as a combination of these elements according to predetermined rules. The second paradigm (metamorphic) interprets architectural design as a continuous process of creative development of the original idea. Education in this case is based on the constant interaction of the teacher and student and their joint creative search. It is concluded that it is necessary to synthesize two paradigms in order to create a complete online education in the architectural field.

ps to regional schools
Authors: Lidin Konstantin
Published: January 2021

Provinces and their culture are strongly related to regional architecture schools. In continuation of the topic of the previous issue, we are publishing two articles devoted to complex processes of the genesis of local architecture schools and their relations with geographical (article by P. Kapustin) and historical (article by E. Bagina and M. Arustamyan) peculiarities of the region.
Regional schools: from projects to hopes
Authors: Kapustin Petr
Published: January 2021

The category of schools has recently become one of the most attractive. It may be due to its paradoxical features: it contains both the tunes of tradition and rootedness and the pretensions to capture certain areas of the future – already under its own inertia and the would-be power of the historical trend. However, today’s “schools” have nothing natural; their current configurations remain in force for quite a long time because they were designed and rather skillfully introduced into the well-known present trends. Unfortunately, changes in trends occur too quickly to leave special resources for ideas that are focused on traditions and values of existence and are in highest demand in contemporary architecture. These twists of time and place are discussed in the given article based on the studies of conceptual foundations for the architectural school of the Central Black Earth Region.
Yerevan 1924: master plan
Authors: Bagina Elena , Arustamyan Margarita
Published: January 2021

The master plan of Yerevan created in 1924 by Alexander Tamanyan and Nikolay Buniatyan is a reflection of the military-political situation prevailing in Armenia after the First World War, the genocide of 1915, the revolutions in Turkey and Russia, the social illusions of the Armenian diaspora and political parties that set out to create an independent Republic of Armenia as a center for the preservation of Armenian culture. The change in the “client” of this project and the political plans did not affect the idea of a “garden city” and the planning principles laid down by Tamanyan. The activities of the Armenian Assistance Committee made it possible to realize the ideas of the master plan.
Um movimento pedagógico e o pedagógico em movimento: as vertentes Freireanas da comunicação e da radiodifusão comunitária
Authors: Cocco Ricardo , Caimi Flávia Eloisa
Published: January 2021

The focus of this study is about alternative popular communication movements, specifically those called Community Broadcasting. Taking the bibliographic research as a methodological strategy, the objective was to analyze the contributions of Paulo Freire’s educational thinking to the formulation of a potentially more horizontal and participatory communication proposal in Brazil and Latin America. Based on the work of Paulo Freire and authors in the field of communication, the following are the main Freirean contributions: the idea that communicating, informing and educating are inseparable elements in social communication; the complaint about banking practices in education and communication; facing the monopoly of the word and encouraging everyone to make their voice heard; the premise that the intelligibility of the world is constituted in the human-world interaction ; and, finally, the dialogical character of human communication as the driving force of a more democratic media proposal.
O Estado, o estatismo autoritário e as políticas públicas na concepção de Poulantzas
Authors: Stori Regina
Published: January 2021

This article explores the capitalist state notion from the perspective developed by Nicos Poulantzas in his latest book (The State, the power, the socialism - 1978), as well as it evaluates how his analysis enable the public policies understanding today . The concept of State is presented as the material condensation of a force relation, progressing to an authoritarian statism, a concept developed by Poulantzas to explain the Executive power strengthening and the political democracy institutions decline. Concluding that the Poulantzian thought, despite of being based on his analysis in the 1970s, remains current and allows the public policies understanding in contemporary times.

Authors: Kuligovski Marcia Patricia , Stremel Silvana
Published: January 2021

The objective of this work is to present an overview of how research on Municipal Councils of Education has been developed in Brazil. This is a review study that had as its initial reference Souza and Vasconcelos’s (2006) article, which addressed the production regarding the Councils related to Education from 1996 to 2002. This research, in turn, covers a broader period and was carried out based on the survey of Doctoral dissertations and Master’s theses available in the Catalog of Dissertations and Theses and Open Data of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - CAPES. Altogether, 111 dissertations and theses were identified across the country, defended between 1998 and 2019, with the highest concentration of research being observed in the Southeast region. The theoretical and methodological framework included discussions by authors such as: Cury (2004), Bordignon (2009), Mainardes (2018, 2021), Gil (2019), among others. It was verified that the production around this theme has grown over the years, with a predominance of case studies, in which the specific aspects of the Municipal Councils of Education are analyzed and how they act in the face of educational demands, denoting special interest of researchers about democratic management, participatory democracy and representativeness in the Municipal Councils of Education. At the end of this text, the systematization of the survey carried out is presented, with the works organized in 19 categories.

Authors: Gunara Sandie , Sutanto Toni Setiawan
Published: January 2021

Music teacher education institutions in Indonesia are challenged to address their students’ intercultural needs due to increasing interaction at the global level. Therefore, this research seeks to discover suitable formulation for teacher education institutions in Indonesia in implementing music teacher education and training to equip them with intercultural competence. This research employs case study design, in which the data were obtained using interview conducted in July and August 2020. This aims at obtaining concepts based on the need analysis of intercultural competence through processes, actions and interactions from the participants’ perspective. The participants were students of Music Teacher Education Department of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The findings show that 1) the sensitivity to cultural diversity of music teacher candidates needs to be enhanced to expand the awareness of their own and other cultures; and 2) enhancing intercultural competence requires both theoretical and practical courses related to Indonesian identity and global culture. The findings are significant considering that every music teacher should have the same perception in teaching, which is in accordance with the diversity of Indonesian and world cultures.

Seismic analyses, upon which structural steel sizing was based, were both static and dynamic. The latter were carried out for two postulated levels of seismic ground motion, and included both response-spectrum and time-history methods.

Columns, column splices and joint details at beam to column connections were designed using a computer program.
Cyclic load testing of two refined reinforced concrete beam-column joints
Authors: Blakeley R. W. G. , Edmonds F. D. , Megget L. M. , Wood J. H.
Published: January 2021

The paper describes the testing of two reinforced concrete beam-column joint units tested under incremented-static cyclic  loading. The full size test units were based upon an interior beam-column joint of a four-storey  framed building designed to the current NZ loading code and represent  refinements on two previously tested conventional joints of similar dimensions. One unit differed from common practice by having a post-tensioned beam stressed to balance the floor dead load of the prototype structure whilst the second unit was detailed with haunched beams. Hinge formation occurred in the beams and stable hysteretic behaviour was obtained up to displacement ductilities of 10 for the prestressed unit and 6 for the haunched unit. The test results are analysed in terms of the draft NZ design code, DZ 3101, and the ACI Recommendations for beam-column joint design.
