title: “Instilling me thelove for history”: pages from a notebook on History of Civilization of the student Maria Thetis Nunes

description: ABSTRACT The present article analyzes the notebook History of Civilization of the student Maria Thetis Nunes (1923-2009), that presents notes taken in classes from teacher Arthur Fortes (1881-1944), having been used in the Atheneu Sergipense, in 1939. The manuscript record carried out by the student allows an approximation with the teaching practices of history se experienced at school, thus, enabling especially the understanding of what was taught in the class of History of Civilization at the time and how the historical content was taught considering the approach and the content clippings and the evidence of the methodology used by the teacher. The student Thetis Nunes later became a History teacher at high schools and colleges for over five decades besides being the author of a broad range of works in the areas of History of Sergipe and History of Education. Therefore, by studying the school notebook of a high school student, we built paths of the history of the teaching of history in Brazil, the history of secondary level education (high school level) and we also became more aware of the history of the teaching profession itself, the choices made and memory constructions.

title: PORTUGUESE AO PÉ DO BERIMBAU: ON CAPOEIRA AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE

description: ABSTRACT From its historical origins as a resistant and violently repressed bundle of music, dance and martial arts practices of the African diaspora in Brazil, capoeira has travelled, becoming a global phenomenon with groups and networks in diverse sites around the world, including London, Cape Town and Hong Kong and indeed Leeds where this research was based. We focus on the linguistic, cultural and embodied ensemble of capoeira, researching a capoeira group with diverse participants led by Sandro, a Brazilian contramestre, providing a rich laboratory for what has been called language learning “in the wild”, specifically of the Afro-Brazilian linguistic and cultural practices (music, movement, lyric, voice) that are a crucial element of the capoeira ensemble. These linguistic and cultural practices contingently bring together, in rehearsal and performance, the characteristic capoeira dance/ martial arts movements, the pervasive regulation of rhythm and the apprenticeship of the body into its rhythm and movement. Seen from the perspective of informal language learning the capoeira group seems to constitute a near optimal context. We will explore the affordances of the capoeira group for linguistic/cultural/embodied learning of Afro-Brazilian Portuguese, drawing on the “maximalist” framework for translanguaging (BAYNHAM; LEE, 2019), which we extend to encompass the pervasive musical aspect of capoeira, linking these to contemporary perspectives on language learning, particularly informal language learning and language learning “in the wild”.

title: “WE SEEK TO GRANT FREEDOM TO SLAVES, AND NOT TO ENSLAVE FREE MEN”: DEBATES OVER THE END OF THE SLAVE TRADE AND ABOLITION IN THE 19TH-CENTURY ANGOLAN PRESS

description: Abstract This paper discusses the dynamics and effects of the historical process concerning the end of the slave trade and abolition in Angola, as reflected in 19th-century printed materials (official) and emerging press (journals). With the advent of the free press, significant changes took place in Angolan public debate. The 20-year-long process of abolition aimed to protect agricultural enterprises and avoid compensation to slaveholders. The permanence of slave labor provoked vigorous debates in the press. This study analyzes primary printed sources: reports from the general governors of the province, Boletim do Governo Geral da Província de Angola, A Civilisação da África Portuguesa, O Mercantil, O Cruzeiro do Sul, Jornal de Loanda, A União da África-Portuguesa, O Pharol do Povo and O Desastre.

title: Do native plant species functionally similar to invasive species suffer more impacts from the invasion in seasonally dry tropical forests?

description: Abstract We tested the hypothesis that of the species studied in the Brazilian Semiarid, the ones most functionally similar to tree Azadirachta indicawould be more affected by this exotic species during germination and early development. At first, we produced a crude extract of A. indica fresh leaves in six different dilutions. We placed 25 seeds of four native species ( Cenostigma pyramidale, Libidibia ferrea, Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, and Amburana cearensis) to germinate in Petri dishes for each dilution, with four replicates for each species. We assessed: radicle length, emergence percentage, emergence speed index, and mean emergence time. We conducted an experiment in a greenhouse to assess how the exotic plant affected the development of individual plants of the studied species. We planted five seeds of each native species alone and five in interaction with the exotic species using ten 20-l buckets. The experiment lasted four months, and the functional attributes of the individuals were collected. Among the native species analyzed, according to the cluster analysis using the functional attributes of the species planted alone, M. caesalpiniifolia, C. pyramidaleand L. ferreawere functionally more similar to the exotic species. In the germination experiment, the extract affected only root length, regardless of the functional similarity. We noticed that only M. caesalpiniifoliahad its early development strongly inhibited when planted in interaction with the exotic species. Although the functional similarity between the exotic and the native species did not influence germination, it negatively affected the development.

title: Effects of different force directions of intra-oral skeletally anchored maxillary protraction on craniomaxillofacial complex, in Class III malocclusion: a 3D finite element analysis

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The intra-oral skeletally anchored maxillary protraction (I-SAMP) has been found to be an effective treatment for skeletal Class III malocclusion. Objective: This in-silico study explored the influence of different force directions of intra-oral skeletally anchored Class III elastics on the changes in craniomaxillofacial complex, using finite element analysis. Methods: A 3-dimensional (3D) finite element model of the craniomaxillofacial bones including circummaxillary sutures was constructed with high biological resemblance. A 3D assembly of four miniplates was designed and fixed on the maxilla and mandible of the finite element model. The model was applied with 250g/force at the miniplates at three angulations (10°, 20°, and 30°) from the occlusal plane, to measure stress and displacement by using the ANSYS software. Results: The zygomaticotemporal, zygomaticomaxillary, and sphenozygomatic sutures played significant roles in the forward displacement and counterclockwise rotation of maxilla and zygoma, irrespective of the angulation of load application. The displacements and rotations of the zygomatico-maxillary complex decreased gradually with an increase in the angle of load application between miniplates from 10° to 30°. The mandible showed negligible displacement, with clockwise rotation. Conclusions: The treatment effects of I-SAMP were corroborated, with insight of displacement patterns and sutures involved, which were lacking in the previously conducted 2D and 3D imaging studies. The prescribed angulation of skeletally anchored Class III elastics should be as low as possible, since the displacement of zygomatico-maxillary complex increases with the decrease in angulation of the elastics.

title: BLACKENING CRITICAL DISCURSIVE STUDIES: AFROPERSPECTIVIST EPISTEMOLOGIES CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD OF CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN BRAZIL

description: ABTRACT In this article, I present some arguments about the relevance of Afroperspectivist epistemologies to theoretical and methodological constructions in critical discourse studies, specifically to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), to studies that aim to understand the relationship between discourse, race and other intersectionalities in our Brazilian context. When discussing racist practices in contemporary discursive manifestations, it is important to consider epistemological perspectives that assimilate the multiple forms of oppression which affect black people in our society - oppressions that are consequences of coloniality (NASCIMENTO, 2019; RESENDE, 2017, 2019; SANTOS, 2019). In addition, it is urgent to think about local creations of knowledge in order to overcome the false ‘universalizing knowledge’ so consolidated in modern sciences (RESENDE, 2017, 2019; PARDO, 2011, 2019; VIEIRA, 2019). Therefore, firstly, I present some concepts of CDA and the Latin-American decolonial perspectives of CDA (CDA-LA). Then, I discuss the contributions of Afroperspectivist and decolonial epistemologies to CDA, considering notions of discourse, the relations between language and racism, among other relevant elements (GONZALEZ, 1988; CARNEIRO, 2005, 2011; GOMES, 2005; RIBEIRO, 2017, 2019; ALMEIDA, 2019; NASCIMENTO, 2019; COLLINS, 2019; HOOKS, 2015 KILOMBA, 2019; FANON, 2008; BERNADINO-COSTA; MALDONADO-TORRES; GROSFOGUEL, 2018; MAKONI ET AL, 2003). Finally, in the last section of this article, I present an investigation which describes recent pieces of research about racism and the discourse from the perspective of the ACD conducted in Brazil, aiming to point out the paths taken in order to contribute to an overview of local studies about this theme.

title: Distribution of COVID-19 cases and health resources in Brazil’s Amazon region: a spatial analysis

description: Abstract Spatial analysis can help measure the spatial accessibility of health services with a view to improving the allocation of health care resources. The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of COVID-19 detection rates and health care resources in Brazil’s Amazon region. We conducted an ecological study using data on COVID-19 cases and the availability of health care resources in 772 municipalities during two waves of the pandemic. Local and global Bayesian estimation were used to construct choropleth maps. Moran’s I was calculated to detect the presence of spatial dependence and Moran maps were used to identify disease clusters. In both periods, Moran’s I values indicate the presence of positive spatial autocorrelation in distributions and spatial dependence between municipalities, with only a slight difference between the two estimators. The findings also reveal that case rates were highest in the states of Amapá, Amazonas, and Roraima. The data suggest that health care resources were inefficiently allocated, with higher concentrations of ventilators and ICU beds being found in state capitals.

title: The association between vitamin D and BDNF on cognition in older adults in Southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between vitamin D and the cognitive decline of older adults and evaluate whether this association is mediated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) serum concentration. METHODS Cross-sectional study nested in a population-based cohort. Of the 604 participants in the complementary examination of the EpiFloripa Study, 576 older adults (60 years or older) were eligible for the study. The outcome is cognitive decline evaluated by the Mini-Mental State Examination, the exposure is vitamin D, and BDNF is the mediator. The control variables are age, sex, per capita family income, and educational level. The direct effect of vitamin D and BDNF on cognitive decline and the indirect effect mediated by BDNF was evaluated using path analysis, with the estimation of standardized coefficients. RESULTS Among the participants, we observed a direct and positive effect of vitamin D on cognitive function (Coef: 0.06; 95%CI: 0.02 to 0.11; p &lt; 0.001) and serum BDNF concentration (Coef: 21.55; 95%CI: 9.92 to 33.17; p = 0.002), i.e., the higher the vitamin D, the higher the cognitive function and serum level of BDNF. CONCLUSION There was an association between vitamin D on serum BDNF and on cognitive decline in older adults. Moreover, BDNF did not have an effect on cognitive decline, so BDNF was not a mediator of the vitamin D effect on cognitive decline.
