A Formação de Professores e Professoras de Inglês e as Possíveis Implicações para a Educação Linguística com Crianças: Respostas e Propostas em meio às Demandas da Contemporaneidade
Authors: Tonelli Juliana Reichert Assunção , Pereira Ewerton Aurelio Santos , Damaceno Izadora Amador 
Published: February 2025

Este artigo objetiva trazer um debate sobre os impactos de leis, resoluções e normativas na formação inicial de professores e professoras de inglês a partir do resgate histórico de reformulações feitas no projeto pedagógico de um curso de letras inglês para atender demandas para a formação inicial de docentes para atuar também nos anos iniciais da educação básica. Para isso, nos apoiamos na literatura especializada da área, apresentamos algumas adequações feitas em disciplinas no referido curso e recuperamos respostas dadas a um questionário aplicado junto a egressos e egressas. A visão dos e das respondentes serviram de apoio para uma leitura mais realista das adaptações que vem sendo feitas no referido curso e um melhor entendimento sobre até que ponto as mudanças realizadas indicam antecipações às possibilidades de atuação daqueles e daquelas profissionais ou sinalizam o acatamento de documentos prescritivos. Os resultados indicam que, na perspectiva dos egressos e das egressas, apesar das reformulações feitas ao longo dos anos, a grade curricular necessita ser reavaliada, a fim de contemplar mais disciplinas voltadas à educação linguística com crianças. Constatamos ainda que as experiências nas atividades de estágio contribuíram de forma significativa para a formação dos e das participantes da pesquisa, preparando-os, ainda que minimamente, para atuarem no ensino de língua inglesa com o público infantil. Pode-se problematizar que a licenciatura em questão vem atendendo a demandas emergentes locais, antevendo-se, portanto, aos documentos prescritivos.

Abstract: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic, progressive, irreversible, fibrotic interstitial lung disease with high mortality. Ginsenoside Re (G-Re) is one of the active components of ginseng, which has been proven to possess multiple pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Thus, G-Re is considered a potential therapeutic agent for treating PF. The present study explored the protective mechanisms of G-Re against bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF in mice and its potential as a therapeutic strategy for PF. A mouse model of BLM-induced PF was utilized to assess the effect of G-Re treatment, with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) set as a positive control agent. Various parameters such as lung function, histopathological changes, oxidative stress markers, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation and its related protein expressions, including Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1), and ferroptosis signature protein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were evaluated. Continuous administration of G-Re for 14 days significantly reduced lung injury, enhanced antioxidant capacity, activated the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway, and inhibited ferroptosis as evidenced by GPX4. Additionally, G-Re treatment reduced collagen deposition, improved pulmonary function, and alleviated oxidative stress in the lung tissue of PF mice. These findings demonstrate that G-Re exerts its therapeutic effects against PF by modulating the Nrf2/Keap1/GPX4 axis and targeting oxidative stress and ferroptosis pathways, highlighting the potential of G-Re as a pharmacological intervention for PF and providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying its protective effects.
Epistocracy and the Problem of Political Capture
Authors: Gibbons Adam F. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Concerned about the harmful effects of pervasive political ignorance, epistocrats argue that we should amplify the political power of politically knowledgeable citizens. But their proposals have been widely criticized on the grounds that they are susceptible to manipulation and abuse. Instead of empowering the knowledgeable, incumbents who control epistocratic institutions are likely to selectively empower their supporters, thereby increasing their share of power. Call this the problem of political capture. In this paper, I argue for two claims. First, I claim that the problem of political capture for epistocracy has been overstated. Incumbents who want to increase their share of power will encounter certain obstacles that complicate the task of capturing the system. Second, however, I claim that if the problem is nevertheless sufficiently serious, it militates against not just epistocracy, but also many other institutions. The problem of political capture is thus far wider than typically recognized.
Financial Security and Retirement Saving Motivators: Evidence from US Households
Authors: Serrano Jan , DeVincenzo Marie , Lawrimore-Belanger Kay 
Published: February 2025

Over the years, changes in the employee retirement benefits offered by companies have shifted the responsibility to employees for building and managing their retirement savings. It has become increasingly clear that many individuals in the US are not saving adequately for retirement. This study, based on a nationwide survey, explores the retirement planning decisions of 325 participants of various socio-economic and demographic groups. An overarching theme throughout the various survey responses seems to be that those individuals who have access to a retirement plan at work are more engaged in the process of retirement planning than those who do not have access to a plan at work. Survey respondents, across all groups, appear to value personalized service, even for groups that prefer a computer or mobile interface to manage or monitor their investments. Write-in responses to open-ended questions about what would motivate respondents to save more for retirement indicate that both Gen X and Millennials value more education about investments and products or services designed to mitigate investment losses. These results have important implications for government agencies and financial service firms looking for ways to encourage individuals to save more for retirement.

The Performance of Festive Revenge: King Edward I and King Arthur in Lodewijk van Velthem’s Continuation
Authors: Summerfield Thea 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Brabant poet Lodewijk van Velthem’s Continuation. He wrote not only chronicles but also chivalric romances, and in his imagination the two often blend: Edward I impressed him so much that he merges at times with King Arthur. The Arthurian connection is one that Edward I appears to have cultivated himself, but it finds its most colourful expression in the writings of this poet.
‘Liés en sont Engliskeman’: Later Medieval Lyric and Song between England and the Low Countries in French, Dutch, and German
Authors: Murray David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses songs and lyrics inspired by Anglo-Dutch relations. The macaronic Latin–French poem Unus frater de Syleyo, satirises the multiple marriage arrangements that Edward I tried to make for his daughters and his son. Latin and French lyrics moved easily across borders, but intriguingly so did a lyric in Dutch which a scribe, writing in an English script, copied into a 14th-century Anglo-Latin lawbook (also containing snatches of Anglo-French verse). In the case of French poems, dialectal features may contain clues to the sea crossings these lyrics made. The Dutch poem was from Flanders. Other lyrics travelled from England to northern France.
Henry VII and Henry VIII in the Verse and Visual Art of Early 16th-Century Antwerp: Propaganda, Polemic, and Evasion
Authors: Putter Ad 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter shows how embedded the English were in Antwerp’s urban culture. The Merchant Adventurers moved their headquarters there in 1474, and from then on English traders and visitors became familiar faces to the locals. The Church (now Cathedral) of our Lady in Antwerp had an ‘English window’, depicting Henry VII and the coat of arms of the Merchant Adventurers, and English politics, especially Henry’s VIII’s affairs with Anne Boleyn, were the subject of Dutch poetry and art.
Strangers in Early Tudor London: Dutch Artisans and the Evil May Day Riot of 1517
Authors: McSheffrey Shannon 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses the Evil May Day riots of 1517, during which many ‘Flemings’ were killed. It explores the complicated dynamics behind these riots. Perhaps the most important lesson to be learned from this new research into the personalities involved is that the aggressors and their victims do not always divide neatly into ‘locals’ and ‘strangers’: some migrants had been in the city for generations, and during the riots some Dutchmen identified themselves as Londoners. The truth of our own times, that hostility to foreigners is often most virulent amongst second- or third-generation immigrants, applies to the Tudor period also.
Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts and Modern Cultural Identities in England and Flanders
Authors: Cleaver Laura 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter traces the development of the modern idea of ‘Flemish’ art, against which ‘English’ art was to be defined, to the early 20th century. The broad usage of the idea is current in the many books with (sub)titles such as Splendours of Flanders and The Triumph of Flemish Manuscript Painting. In such books the notion of Flanders is elastic enough to stretch to manuscripts from what in late medieval times were predominantly French-speaking areas such as Artois and Hainaut. The modern reinvention of ‘Flemish’ art, accompanied by exhibitions which gathered ‘Flemish treasures’ from libraries across the world, was a team effort by curators and librarians working across borders.
