This paper presents and discusses the book Sobre o ensino de literatura, by Paulo Franchetti (2021) so as to point out concepts, methods and political perspectives related to activities carried out with literature in classroom. Although this paper is concentrated on ideas and proposals made by the book, it also tries to relate, directly or indirectly, its main formularizations to a current discussion within the field of studies on literature teaching. Following the book own scheme, the subject will be broached both at Grade/Junior High School and Higher Education levels, or, inversely, from the literature teacher's background development up to his/her professional performance.

The objective of this paper is to build an overview of the professional profile of researchers who are awarded with the research productivity grant level 2 (PQ-2) of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) working in the area of Geography. To this end, a survey of data was carried out in the researchers' lattes curricula, which aimed to collect information about elements such as institutional location, place and period of the doctorate, participation in research groups, number of papers, books and book chapters published accompanied by their temporalities, as well as the number of individual publications, in co-authorship and in which languages, and, finally, the number of master's and doctoral orientations already completed. The reflections contained in the text focus on these elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As did Cantoni (2013) for the Portuguese stress system as a whole, I propose in the present paper a diachronic explanation for a difference between verbs and nonverbs in Portuguese: the fact that verbs have mobile stress, whereas non-verbs do not. I adopt a diachronic perspective, considering, as proposed in dynamic systems approaches, that the knowledge of the initial state of a system helps us understand its current state. Based on that, I examine inflectional paradigms of Latin nouns and the changes that have taken place from Latin to Portuguese with the purpose of assessing to what extent those morphological changes have determined characteristics of the Portuguese stress system. The vast majority of nouns showed a stress shift in their paradigms in Latin. As is shown in the present paper, however, the accusative was the only case in which there was practically no change in stress between singular and plural. The fact that the accusative was the lexicogenic case in Portuguese, i.e., the fact that nouns and adjectives in Portuguese have their forms derived from the accusative of corresponding Latin words eventually produced fixed stress in Portuguese non-verbs. The accusative was the most frequent case in Latin and, as would be expected from a usage-based perspective, it was the only surviving case. The final section of the paper additionally discusses the fact that the same diachronic changes have kept noun and adjective theme vowels from ever being stressed in Portuguese.

This is a theoretical study with a bibliographical and documental approach that was conducted during my PhD. This paper analyzes the structuring of the geriatric/gerontological field, examining the concepts of active aging and functionality, outlining, in particular, the alignment of such terms with the prevention and health promotion movements. The discourse that has become hegemonic in the area is the behavioral emphasis with a highlight on changes in lifestyles. The prevailing discourse announces the aging and illness process increasingly as a result of growing individual (and/or family) efforts, independent of public policies. In this sense, the paper discusses the repercussions of this self-preservationist conception in the context of public policies and highlights the importance of greater investment by researchers in the area, in the sense of building more critical mediations, unveiling the complex contradictions that mark the aging of the working class in Brazil.

In this paper debt and indebtedness in the educational market is under discussion, which puts in operation a biopolitical control device in the subjectivization processes of the neoliberal logic established by the gradient of Homo œconomicus, making educational consumption an investment in the constitution of human capital. So, the production of the indebted subject transposes the subjectivity of the Homo œconomicus model to the form of Homo in debitum, which constitutes the effect of the biopolitical device. Finally, the paper points out that the control introduced in the indebted life, in the own biopolitical game, can provoke a resistance toward the invention of different truths that would produce other subjectivities not governed by debt.

This integrative review of literature presents scientific production that evidences the impact of the organizational climate on the satisfaction of the work of two professionals, in Applied Social Sciences. For this, a search was carried out in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, from 2012 to 2021. In total, 19 papers of open access to the area were analyzed, located by means of two descriptors "Organizational Climate" AND "Job Satisfaction and "Organizational Climate" AND "Satisfaction". The analyzes are quali/qualitative, at which time it was verified that as of 2019 the papers on organizational climate and job satisfaction are more frequent or that evidence or growing interest in the subject matter and that despite In terms of the number of publications, the citations do not follow the same pattern, not that it gives respect to the regional aspect, approximately 58% are concentrated in Asian countries or that denote or interest two researchers from this region on the study of organizational aspects. There is also a preference for the quantitative methodological approach, since 16 studies applied this method. The studies showed that, not generally, there is a positive influence from the organizational climate to job satisfaction, it was found that these variables can also impact the performance of two professionals and their motivation.

Broadly speaking, this paper engages with research on the possibility of conscious metaphor processing. In particular, it aims to look into the events in which linguistic metaphors being used in discourse could be deautomatized (Kyratzis, 2003) ‒ i.e., in which they could be recognized as metaphors ‒, as well as to look into discursive components which would be able to afford such a deautomatization. Based on the notions of conceptual metaphor (Lakoff; Johnson, 2002 [1980]) and metaphoricity (Müller, 2008), this paper proceeds with identification and analysis of both the occurrence of activation devices of metaphoricity and their effects upon metaphor use, in an attempt to account for how such use could become directly accessible to introspective consciousness. Outcomes from this investigation suggest that some cooccurring textual elements, such as certain adverbs, conjunctions, and images, would be able to afford the recognition of linguistic metaphors as such in discourse.

By means of relevance theory, a cognitive approach to pragmatics, we propose in this paper an analysis that aims to simulate an interpretive process, applying some theoretical-analytical elements presented by the authors in their work Relevance, Communication and Cognition as well as subsequent papers. The purpose of the study is to examine, from a given perspective, the way in which inferential processes of understanding are generated from the questioning of two lawyers, in opposing positions, to the same witness and one of the defendants in the trial involving a couple of movie actors which took place recently in the State of Virginia, United States.

Based on the Classical Reception Studies, the aim of this paper is to examine the establishment of discourses of power and masculinity in three films: Spartacus, directed by Stanley Kubrick, Gladiator, by Ridley Scott, and Satyricon, by Federico Fellini. Building up an analysis focused on the film protagonists, their costumes and bodies appearance, the symbolic meanings of masculinity and contemporary cultural clashes, the paper discusses how the dialogues between past and present not only build hegemonic narratives of masculinity, but also provoke its deconstruction in the context of the counterculture of the 1960s.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the implementation of the direct sale of ethanol in Brazil, started by Provisional Measure (MP) nº 1063 (2021) and published as Law nº 14292 (2022), making direct sales of ethanol between mills and fuel stations possible. Using a discourse analysis, this paper focused on the national commercialization of ethanol, before the implementation of the MP, highlighting the direct sale as a possible attenuating factor of the final price, as well as the positions of the public entities regarding the sector. We conclude that this measure should lead to improvements in the collection of state taxes. However, problems related to the distance between service stations and mills are limiting factors for this commercialization, at this first moment, due to the process of storing large quantities of ethanol.

Intelligent tutoring systems have been highlighted as a tool for learning support, mainly because its adaptation to user's condition and application scenario. In the face of this pandemic situation, learning supporting tools, as tutoring systems, because of their viability for application in remote environment, showed as an alternative for professors and students support. This paper addresses a proposal for content adaptation to learning, applying artificial intelligence techniques to text Generation and natural language processing. Furthermore, this paper considered existence for different learning styles, varying according to student personality and his way to collect information, capable to influence in learning level. This style variation, accordingly, to a model defined in literature, directs content adaptation model to be done, generating an adapted result to each learning style. Personalized content generation process allows an advance in way to use tutoring systems in learning, creating a format for directed content delivery with gains for environment's user, generating a personalized results and conducting to a more effective learning. As a result, expect to obtain a methodology to content generation based on pre-defined learning styles, by mean an automatized process to content adaptation from an initial entry in unique format.

The paper aims to analyze the paradigm article published by researchers from OpenAI, OpenResearch, and the University of Pennsylvania on March 23, 2023, reporting on the possible impacts of generative transformative AI (GPT) on the American labor market. From the analysis of the article and definition of an assessment of points of interest for the Brazilian Legal field, an enumeration of hypotheses will be structured to meet the objective of this paper. To guide the analytical, evaluative, and descriptive approach, the paper will also rely on other scientific articles published in databases as well as institutionally available statistical elements. Using the deductive method, this paper presents formulations, highlighting the higher probability of GPTs' impact on legal work, including that which requires more time to develop skills, except for applications of sophisticated scientific knowledge or that require critical analysis.

The paper intends to discuss the theme of the survival of the soul and the resurrection of the dead from Jewish writings. Given the multiplicity of millennial sources that deal with the subject, the paper has focused on the primordial sources of Judaism (tanach and talmud), in addition to books and later thinkers regarded as pillars of Jewish philosophy, mysticism and religion, without having the concern of exhausting these sources. The text starts from the human need to transcend history and human mortality. Based on this principle, the foundations of the Jewish religion according to the traditional view are synthetically discussed. Subsequently, traditional and unorthodox views of Jewish eschatology are approached. The text ends with a reflection on the reasonableness of the belief in the resurrection of the dead.

this paper is part of a survey carried out with Haitian evangelical communities in Brazil during the doctorate period in Religious Studies. This paper aims to discuss the religious beliefs of evangelical Haitians in Brazil, linked to a worldview on migration. The methodology adopted for the research comprises a bibliographic survey, ethnography and open interviews. As part of the results obtained, it is possible to verify that Haitian migrations are part of the history of Haiti and are related to political and economic crises and natural disasters, and that religious beliefs permeate this process. We conclude that Haitians have a specific way of understanding migratory processes, which we call the migratory worldview, and that it was fostered by religious beliefs in the researched group.

Information mediation, as well as cultural mediation, in Information Science, and especially in Archival Science, are themes that demand further theoretical and methodological inquires. This paper ponders over the importance of mediation in the context of content dissemination activities oriented to the magnification of the social representation of archives. To this end we take as case study the "Arquivo nosso de cada dia" [Our daily archive], campaign of the Public Archive of the State of São Paulo, with the goal of encouraging critical thinking about the importance of the mediation process in dissemination activities of archival institutions. This paper has a qualitative, quantitative, descriptive and exploratory approach, and employs as methods the analysis of the documents generated during the campaign. The results prove how important it is to archival institutions to carry out actions of mediated promotion directed to different social groups that directly affect the way how society sees and welcome these spaces of memory.

This paper investigates the theoretical-epistemological development of altmetrics, based on the analysis of terms, expressions, definitions, and/or concepts presented in scientific literature. For this purpose, it analyzed altmetrics through a literature review, considering papers published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, indexed in Brapci, LISA, WoS, and Scopus, since the manifesto by Priem et al. in 2010 until 2020. Given the results, it was confirmed that altmetrics is still immature and difficult to define. From the analysis of 485 papers (corpus), we found that altmetrics is named by terms and expressions that have different meanings and that its concepts and definitions are presented from three perspectives: pragmatic, genealogical, and epistemological.

Aiming at an analysis of the psychological suffering which musicians may experience in performance situations, this paper puts forward some ideas largely based on the metapsychology of Sigmund Freud and on a critical view of university-level education of musical interpreters. It is argued, at first, that ethical and moral injunctions put upon performers throughout their education could be identified metapsychologically as superegoic. Another part of the investigation verses on possible relations between Superego, death drive and sublimation in the production of unhealthy practices in the study and preparation of performances. This part of the discussion will also consider the different ways in which the Ego might relate with its ideal instances. The last portion of the paper consists in an analysis of passages from Thomas Bernhard's der Untergeher, based on the hypotheses hereby brought to light. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In nineteenth-century Spain, Concepción Arenal established herself as an important thinker in the critical social field. Influenced by social Catholicism, her work sought to rethink the place of social assistance. Among her multifaceted writings, this paper intends to focus on beneficence, philanthropy, and charity, since they bring together the key elements that would validate her ideas and proposals on public welfare. A scholar of social issues, she defended the participation of the State as a regulatory and monitoring element of the assistance activities, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the services provided to impoverished populations. This paper also analyzes some of her ideas about the role of the woman in the Spanish society in the XIX century, that help to interpret her life and work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the history and development of curriculum policy as a field of study, as well as its definitions and delimitations. This paper also proposed two curriculum policy approaches inspired by the policy analysis cycle created by Harold Laswell. This work pinpointed the evolution and development of curriculum policy concepts since it appeared in a publication in the mid-50s. The importance of adopting more precise definitions of the concept which take into consideration the different kinds of existing curriculum policies is stressed. The paper ended with the presentation of two curriculum policy analysis approaches based on the policy analysis cycle that might complement other approaches used in the study of curriculum policies.

Although from a scientific and epistemological perspective, criminal investigation is an interdisciplinary activity governed by operational principles and legal norms (rules and principles), the operational principles are governed (or limited) by legal norms. Consequently, the best dogmatic construction places them as guiding criteria of the constitutional principle of efficiency. The operational principles of immediacy, timeliness and secrecy characterize criminal investigation and are limited by legal norms to protect fundamental rights and guarantees. Current paper defines these operational principles and their relationships with legal norms. Theoretical research through an analysis of laws, STF judgments, research and articles on the subject of criminal investigation and underlying principles concludes that (a) the principle of immediacy is not restricted by legal norms; (b) the principle of opportunity is largely restricted by legal norms to protect fundamental rights and guarantees, particularly the right to privacy and intimacy; (c) the principle of secrecy, restricted within the investigative line, is not limited by legal norms. Current paper concludes that operational principles have a core of their own and that legal norms restrict these principles on the basis of fundamental rights and guarantees, but not to such an extent that they violate the constitutional principle of efficiency.

Current paper investigates crimes against the tax order and the limits for preliminary investigations. Since the advent of the Binding Precedent 24 published by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court, tax crime may be only characterized as from the conclusion of the tax administrative process. However, criminal investigations are increasingly recurrent without the administrative phase being completed before the competent body. Consequently, it is relevant to establish limits to the preliminary investigation. The paper, based on the hypothetical-deductive method and bibliographic reviews, proposes to establish restrictions in exceptional cases for the determination of tax crimes without the definitive constitution of the tax credit.

The landscape is the materialization of a moment in society and is formed by volumes, colors, movements, odors, sounds, etc., In other words, it encompasses everything perceptible through the human senses. Economic, social, and political factors, among others, influenced changes in the landscape. Mineral exploration is one example of this type of factor. Since mining companies can bring about noticeable changes in municipalities, it is necessary to observe, analyze, and document any alterations that occur from the beginning of the installation processes. In 2007, the Serrote da Laje Project was started, located in the municipalities of Craíbas-AL and Arapiraca-AL, and developed by Mineração Vale Verde (MVV) to extract copper ore. This paper aims to show changes in the landscape of Craíbas by using historical satellite images (using the Google Earth Pro tool) and statistical analysis of the flow of vehicles. The paper aims to understand the relationship between these changes with the installation of the Serrote da Laje Project. The results show a significant visual alteration in the landscape, comparing the satellite images of two distinct epochs. The analysis of the vehicle flow showed a significant alteration, revealing considerable contributions of the referred enterprise in the alteration of the municipality landscape.

Homeopathic medicine is a socially validated practice, progressively incorporated into the institutional health care scheme, including the public health system. However, the issue of the fundamentals of this therapeutic, of its scientific validation, remains outstanding. In the sense of responding to this demand for validation, there is a need for research methodologies. that allow for accurate investigations, suitable for the concepts of health, illness and therapeutics that are intrinsic to the homeopathic rational. This paper is based on the notion that homeopathic theory is originally guided by a vitalism of hermeneutical character, that. is, it assumes that the positivity of phenomena with which it deals, is always dependent on the comprehensive totality (vital totality), specific to each individual situation and accessible only by means of the patients ́ narratives. The study’s purpose was to understand the relations between these vitalist concepts and the place of comprehensive-inter-pretative procedures in the propedeutics and therapeutics proposed by the homeopathic medicine that may point out to alternatives to establish its validation bases. This is qualitative research, based on the documentary analysis of homeopathy canonic texts, especially the work of Hahnemann, and originally n-depth interviews with homeopaths that combine clinic activity and education in the area (opinion makers). The methodology was instructed by Philosophic. Hermeneutics and by Historic Epistemology, and the layer subjacent to the discourse (written and spoken) effected in a non-formal manner, searching for the free identification. And interpretation of the narrative axes and core meanings that were deemed significant. The discussion was basically focused on the recovery of the major historical movements related. To the development of the vitalist paradigm in homeopathy, the comparison of this development with the adoption of semiologic procedures of comprehensive- -interpretative character and the implications of this “vitalism of the word” to the contemporary homeopathic concepts. The paper points out to the positivity and productivity of the work on language and narratives in the domain of a homeopathy understood as “medicine of the subject” and suggests deeper studies in the hermeneutical-philosophical direction as an alternative for the concept densification and for the improvement of validation processes of knowledge and practice of homeopathy.

The paper studie the plurality of Christian worldviews inside Brazilian evangelicalism, as well as the direct consequence for Brazilian society of each one of the worldviews. In this way, the research is based on a bibliographic survey to promote a conceptual review on the theme of worldview, which will encompass the genesis and development in philosophy, as well to arrival in theology. The main objective of this paper is to discuss how much of the Brazilian church was contaminated with philosophical assumptions foreign to the thought of Christ, but which, due to an accommodative and hybridizing process, became endogenous in the theoretical thinking of certain evangelical denominations. Finally, there will be a return to the Scriptures, and a worldview option will be presented so that the church can be a transforming agent within an underdeveloped country like Brazil.

The following paper deals with stricto sensu postgraduate challenges and its contributions for basic education. A variety of documentary sources of institutions and official agencies are consulted, as well as information from a postgraduate program in education that offers a professional master’s degree in education since 2019. Based on course graduates’ productions, data from documents, and in professional modality historic in postgraduate, the paper argues that the main contribution of these programs is regarding teacher’s formation. However, such training is distinguished by its centrality in scientific research, which gives it the potential to transform the reality in which its actors, the professionals of Basic Education, are inserted.

Built in the school space, the fraternal relationship of two adolescents, Anderson and Fabinho, is strengthened by the wisdoms of Candomblé, in the work Modupé, meu amigo, by Stefania Capone and Leonardo Carneiro (2015), illustrations by Victor Tavares, selected for this paper. The authors take care, throughout the work, of deconstructing prejudices along the narrative and highlight specific vocabulary of African matrix religiosities, contributing to a wider comprehension of its presence in our language and culture. The rereading of words of bantu origin, in Falando Bantu, by Eneida D. Gaspar (2011), illustrations by Victor Tavares, and the creation of words, like the ludic poetry in Caderno de rimas de João (2016) and Caderno sem rimas de Maria (2018), by Lázaro Ramos, both illustrated by Maurício Negro, fulfill valuable instants of literary reading and listening, while signifiers and meanings are uprooted of the brazilian everyday’s language and slip through the gaps of literary language. In this paper, the aim is to analyze, in this works, the verbal and non-verbal languages and how they contribute to deconstruct prejudices. For this debate, we highlight studies by Stuart Hall (2006), Sanara S. Rocha (2018) and Grada Kilomba (2019). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper sets out to show the results of an experimentation of a Basque-Spanish-English trilingual didactic sequence (DS) in a Basque immersion educational context. It also seeks to explain the relevance of the seven principles of sociodidactics of languages (Dolz, 2019). The study adopts the theoretical perspective of text genres as didactic objects for the teaching and learning of the production of written and oral texts. It conceives a controlled and planned perspective of language alternation, so that it can contribute to interlinguistic transfers. An oral expository text combining Basque, Spanish and English constitutes the goal of the DS. The experimentation of the DS took place in a sociolinguistic context where Spanish is the predominant language of socialization for the students. The contrastive analysis between the initial and final texts of the DS shows an improvement of students' trilingual textual-discursive capacities. A pilot study of the teacher's didactic gestures points out the possibilities of language alternation for interlinguistic transfer. The paper highlights the relevance of the seven principles of sociodidactics: they permit to explain the functioning of the didactic system, and to develop a plurilingual didactic engineering in multilingual contexts, and specifically, in minority language revitalization contexts.

In the field of psychotherapy, there is a gap in scientific knowledge concerning the paths and the impacts of using social media to advertise both psychotherapy and psychotherapists. With our study, we wish to contribute on that matter, directing our research specifically to this advertising on Instagram. We took Theory of Subjectivity as our theoretical frame because it allows visualizing and representing, in its complex understanding of human processes, the recursive ways in which human reality and action take place individually and socially in a concrete history and culture. Our goals were: 1) to investigate and discuss subjective configurations of psychotherapy in its advertisement on Instagram, and 2) from that, to debate the practice of psychotherapists. This paper is divided in: 1) introduction, 2) methodology, 3) information construction and analysis, and 4) final remarks. In the introduction, we present Theory of Subjectivity, debate the field of psychotherapy and define our investigation questions. In the methodology section, we discuss the method we used - constructive-interpretative method -, as well as present our research's participants, place and instruments. In the information construction and analysis section, that correspond to our results and our discussion, we present our hypotheticaltheoretical movement, recursively developed with what we experienced on the field, as well as show our theoretical production on the subjective processes of one of our research's participants. In the final remarks section, we address our investigation questions. The thoughts on the practice of psychotherapists that our study allowed us to weave are present in all sections of this paper.

In this paper we intend to defend the thesis that the link between whatever singularity and form-of-life is important in Giorgio Agamben’s immanent and contingent ethics. To support this thesis, we structure the paper in two parts: (i) first, we analyze how the indeterminacy between rule and life makes out a way of living inherent to the human being who lives it. This way of living has as one of its primal examples the model of life of Christian monks, hence the fact we analyze it by taking the monastic as an important example; (ii) second, we investigate the category of any and articulate it to the form-of-life as an essential bond, so that the living being constitutes itself in the contingency of its own living.

Context: there is little empirical evidence of the relationship between the implementation of lean techniques (such as the pull system) and their real effect on supply chain performance. Objective: the purpose of this paper is to describe the process of implementing the pull production logic in the supply chain, reporting the historical evolution of indicators, such as inventory levels and lead times over 23 months of intervention. Methods: an action research project was carried out describing chain intervention steps in 2017-2019, divided into phases as follows: planning, data collection, implementation of the action, analysis and evaluation of the results. Results: the main contribution was to demonstrate that the production shift from push to pull had a positive impact on lead time, inventory, and planning routines indicators. Inventory levels were reduced by more than 30% and lead times were down approximately 40%. In addition, sales forecast assertiveness increased. Conclusion: this paper may provide a reference for organizations that want to make similar changes in their supply chains and significantly change the planning routine of their suppliers and distributors by implementing the pull logic.

The article aims to present some of the existing relationships between origami and computational thinking and how they can complement each other and serve as mutual support. A contextualization about the art of paper folding is presented, as well as some understandings about computational thinking, specifically its four pillars: decomposition, algorithm, pattern recognition and abstraction. As a possibility, we resort to unplugged activities involving instructions for folding animals and geometric solids that can be developed both in Elementary School and in High School or Undergraduate Degree. Finally, it is shown that the proposals can enable the development of the four pillars of computational thinking. Thus, it can be noted that the a ctivities described open possibilities for computational thinking when worked in consonance with origami. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present article seeks to perform a critical evaluation of the reception of the book 'Brazil under Vargas', published in 1942 by Karl Loewenstein, in order to assess how the author interpreted the criticism that he received in specialized journals, positive or negative, about his work. Loewenstein's perception of this critical fortune will be reconstructed from the active and passive correspondence preserved in the special collection The Karl Loewenstein Papers, at Amherst College. The final objective is to perform a critical evaluation of the nuances of the work's reception, demonstrating how the author reacted to certain conceptual arguments, especially regarding Loewenstein's definition of Vargas' Estado Novo as an authoritarian and, therefore, non-totalitarian political system.

This paper aimed to identify which are the new urban mobility services, arising from technological evolution, and how these are influencing the daily lives of consumers. It was also sought to know how the use of new urban mobility services can influence the purchase of private vehicles, since such a means of transport causes damage to the environment and causes problems during the daily journeys of citizens, such as traffic and stress. . Methodologically, it was an exploratory and descriptive research, with a quantitative approach, with application of a questionnaire, through virtual social networks, answered by 201 people from 35 cities in the state of São Paulo. The collected data were treated using descriptive statistics. The main results show that the private vehicle is the means of locomotion that receives the greatest demand from the researched population, with public/collective transport as its biggest competitor, even though it lacks infrastructure, and that the new mobility services are not yet widely used, although cities have infrastructure to support them, not being restricted to large cities. It is concluded that the new urban mobility services have the potential to become the main means of locomotion for people, by overcoming the obstacles of the lack of exploration of the subject and the desire for their own car, so such a change must occur in the long term.

The paper discusses the hypothesis of parameters for the expression of comparison and degree constructions discussing data from Brazilian Portuguese (BP). Beck et alii (2009) and Beck, Oda and Sugisaki (2004) propose three parameters: i) the language has degree predicates (DSP -- Degree Structure Parameter); ii) the language has or does not have binding of degree variables in the syntax (DAP -Degree Abstraction Parameter); and iii) the language has a syntactic degree argument filled (DegPP -- Degree Phrase Parameter). Languages with negative setting in the DSP do not show any degree construction at all, especially comparative constructions with an expression like "more". The DAP explains structures with binding of degree variables in the syntax, like comparative clauses with scope ambiguities. At last, there is the impossibility of filling the syntactic degree argument of gradable adjectives with measure phrases (cf. *2 metros alto/2 meters tall). This fact is explained by a negative setting in the DegPP. It is shown that BP receives positive setting in the first ones but negative setting in the last. It is also discussed degree interrogatives and measure phrases like 2 metros de altura "2 meters of height". The paper concludes that these structures should be better discussed to understand their place in the degree parameter hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes the trajectories and formative experiences of different women of the Argentine upper class with the purpose of understanding the link between gender and social class. Based on a socio-anthropological approach, which includes in-depth interviews with women and men of this social group as well as participant observations, this paper explores the practices and representations that model and regulate the lives of women in this social group. It argues that the practices and meanings that upper-class women built show that gender representations are a field of dispute. In a historical context that has been characterized by the visibility of feminist demands, conservative discourses and practices supported by these women - in other words, the appropriation of a subordinate gender role - is part of their struggle to preserve a privileged position: that of the upper class.

In a hyper-competitive and information-intensive marketing context, managing knowledge is vital. Knowledge is a creation of the human mind and represents symbolic power for its holder, resulting in the need for motivation to share it. The Social Exchange Theory deals with the mechanisms involved in the exchange of benefits between subjects, highlighting reciprocity, group benefits and even altruism as motivators. While Philosophy discusses egocentric interests in the relationship between the subject and the collectivity, biology shows altruism as the key to evolutionary success. The human psyche is complex, admitting the coexistence of cooperation and competition in knowledge sharing. It is aimed to unveil what motivates humans to share knowledge, investigating the configurations and the most highlighted aspects in academic literature about the interaction between the Social Exchange Theory and Knowledge Management. As methodological procedures, a search was carried out in the Scopus database on the interaction between Social Exchange Theory and Knowledge Management, performing a keywords co-occurrence analysis with VosViewer software and, finally, a qualitative analysis was performed, concerning to the meaning of the most relevant keywords, through the most cited articles. As a result, the keywords with greater affinity were grouped, highlighting the most used terms in each group for reading and summarizing the most cited papers that contained them. The most cited papers show the need to create motivational strategies, creating a suitable environment for knowledge sharing, mitigating the fear of personal power loss as a consequence of this sharing.

Different types of collaboration (formal e informal) are necessary in the scientific activity of different disciplines and areas. Through scientometric indicators, it broadly analyzes contemporary collaborative practices (coauthorship and sub-authorship) in publications of two important Brazilian journals indexed at SciELO, one from Biological Sciences and other from Human Sciences, during the period of 2010 to 2019. The data on co-authorship were collected from papers signed by more than one author, and the data on subauthorship were collected from publications acknowledgment texts (for material and/or intellectual support) written by the authors. The corpus is composed of 1,100 papers, 758 from Acta Botanica Brasilica and 342 from Revista de Sociologia e Política. It found out that scientific communication context (nationality of the journal and of the indexing database) does not directly influence the collaborative practices, but what does influence is the nature of the research performed in each of the disciplines and areas. High percentages of coauthorship and sub-authorship (financial and technical/instrumental support) identified in Acta Botanica Brasilica evidence the need for different types of collaboration (formal e informal) in experimental areas. The high percentage of acknowledgment for conceptual/PIC support identified in Revista de Sociologia e Política, whose co-authorship rates are lower than those of single authorship, shows the importance of authorship collaboration from invisible colleges. It concludes that the inclusion of databases such as SciELO in scientometric researches is relevant for mapping types of collaboration (authorial and nonauthorial) in science from a broadly and different perspective.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the public image of the Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (TSE) elaborated in the articles about printed paper votes published by the website "Terça Livre", which is entitled as a conservative journalism. In this regard, it has undertaken theoretical discussions on media and politics, from authors such as Miguel (2008), Souza (1988), Lycarião, Magalhães and Albuquerque (2018), among others; and on public image in the media, from the perspective of studies by Noleto Filho (2014), Gomes (2004) and Weber (2009). Using as method a qualitative perspective based on Bardin's ideas (2011), the investigation identified that the public TSE image engendered in the coverage by the website Terça Livre contains a negative character, sometimes using disinformation strategies, characterizing the court as an institution considered inefficient, enemy of democracy and contrary to the freedom to vote of the population.

Drawing on scholarly works that are both ethnographically-based (such as Stephen Levinson and Elinor Ochs’s) and socially-based (such as Jacob Mey and Joana Pinto’s), this paper takes a particular stance on linguistic pragmatics. Originally named by Peirce and established as a perspective – rather than a discipline – pragmatics gathers researches from different traditions around the world. In departmental terms, people working on language from a pragmatic perspective may be affiliated with areas such as sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, applied linguistics, neurolinguistics, etc., yet a family resemblance unites them: pragmatics seen as social science, which stands for both a field ethnographically oriented to the role, ideologies and agency of language users, and science “in society,” politically situated. The paper revisits language ethnographies in Oceania and Africa, in addition to semantically-oriented scholarship. I conclude, with Rajagopalan, that a diversity of problems investigated in pragmatics are refinements from subjects’ situated action [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper inserts itself in the debate on (art) historiography and periodization, opposing linear and evolutionary models to anachronic and discontinuous ones. The latter are analyzed through Kunstwissenschaft, a new approach to art history, which emerged at the end of the 19th century, initially in the German speaking countries, in opposition to traditional historiographical models, anticipating actual practices, such as Visual Studies and Global Art History. In particular, this paper offers some examples of how Kunstwissenschaft reflected on its epistemic tools, confronting itself with the time in which art history started to reflect on its own status, the Renaissance.

Since 2007, there has been a significant increase in eucalyptus planting in the eastern region of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil. Eucalyptus planting takes the place of extensive livestock farming by the leasing or purchasing of land from farmers in the region. The "green desert" is growing to the point of having a direct impact on the social and spatial organization of the two main rural communities in the region, Arapuá and Garcias, which were established with the families of rural workers on cattle farms and on the settlers of the districts. With the territorialization of the eucalyptus-pulp-paper complex in the region, there has been a major rural exodus, impacting the social and cultural characteristics that made the communities' identity, generating a notable environmental imbalance. This paper proposes to understand these changes, based on the reading made by the residents themselves regarding the arrival of eucalyptus and on how these transformations in land use and capitalist appropriation of the territory changed the territorial identity of these rural communities. The study is based on the theoretical and methodological approach of social geography, which considers the subject at the center of territorial productions. Therefore, qualitative research methodologies are used, based on semi-structured interviews, to identify the extent of the changes that have occurred. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper advances the hypothesis that, in Thomas Reid’s reading, David Hume’s skepticism of the Treatise on Human Nature is not solely due to his acceptance of the ‘ideal hypothesis’ – the principle according to which ideas are the immediate objects of the mental operations –, but it has another source, namely, that doubt on the reliability of the faculties of the senses, memory, and reason. Moreover, the paper argues that the suggested distinction between two roots for Hume’s skepticism allows a more exact view on Reid’s reading of Hume and solve some misinterpretations.

This paper aims to understand how the news in newspapers referring to the Workers’ Party (PT) in Ponta Grossa in the 1980s can be understood through Sentiment Analysis. In this sense, the journalistic publications of a certain spatial and temporal cut are analyzed, with the use of opinion mining techniques applying artificial intelligence to decipher aspects of natural language. We used the Syuzhet package included in Rbase, through the Rstudio interface, where we could verify that the positive emotions and feelings transmitted by the news published during the time under analysis, contributed to the electoral adhesion to the PT, electing members in the legislative and executive branches of the municipal government, a situation that had its share of influence in later decades in other spheres of the State. In this paper we try to make clear the path taken to reach our results, allowing the methodology to be applied to other printed periodicals and other themes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to provide a theoretical reference for studies on the paleoecology of benthic marine fauna to better understand the terms used in recent studies, or not, on the subject. Through a literature search listing the most relevant works on the subject, it was concluded that the authors use the terms paleocommunities and guilds for the classification of fauna, but nowadays concepts such as functional groups and ecological niches have been used as synonyms. Thus, many older papers can finally be reviewed from a different point of view, providing more detail, and answering open questions. Furthermore, it was observed that there is little discussion on the use of paleoecological concepts to elucidate the life history of fossil assemblages, especially from the Paraná Basin.

Current paper deals with the protection of data and the consumers' great vulnerability with regard to consent and privacy on the Internet. Hypervulnerability is the starting point when dealing with consumers' data protection on the Internet. Another aspect that should be taken into account is that, within an information context, consent should not be attributed to the supporter. The resignification of liberal premises should be highlighted since they seem to be insufficient to cope with information technology. The paper aims at identifying changes from information society and the condition of hypervulnerability of the consumer whilst discussing the issue of consent and privacy on the Internet. Juridical and projective methodology is employed to pinpoint trends in the area under analysis. Several discussions contribute towards an in-depth analysis of the theme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses some collaborations and resistences of psychoanalysis to social gender-based violence, highlighting conflicts and tensions therein. It examines the notion of gender difference, according to Freud and Lacan, given its strategic position in psychoanalytic approaches to sexuation and LGBTQI+ subjectivities. Finally, the paper presents some theoretical vignettes from contemporary authors, organized into three axes aiming to: repositioning and/or overcoming the Oedipus Complex; deconstructing binary reasoning and working with the notion of open body; and problematizing the epistemic subject within the analytical listening.

The paper discusses Bacurau, by Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles, focusing, from the perspective of materialist-dialectical criticism in a country of dependent capitalism, the treatment of the modern-archaic binomial and melancholy, in which appear, as allegories, Brazilian artistic works. The paper also debates the figurations around the nation project, social transformation, and the resistance of the popular classes in contemporary Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at exposing an evaluative comparison of outlet devices' arrangement in detention basins. The first step is choosing the area, in which a portion of the Vertente Marítima basin in Fortaleza city was selected, totalizing 33 hectares, approximately. By considering area availability, the detention basin's geometric parameters were determined, through the area-depth-volume curve, i.e., total width and length, bottom width and length, height and width of primary and emergency spillways, height between the orifice and the primary spillway, diameter and number of circular orifices, width and height of the rectangular orifice, whose values were kept constant during the simulations. The detention basin's total surface was considered 4.000 m² with 2,0 m height, due to its purpose of multiuse and lower excavation costs. The input hydrograms were obtained by Santa Barbara's method adopted for return periods of 10 and 25 years. Two configurations were tested: the first one considered both the orifice and the spillway as rectangular, while the second one considered the orifices as circular and the spillway as rectangular. The output hydrograms were obtained by using the modified Puls method. Thus, several of those devices' variations were put into test until the best results were obtained, those which provided the greater percentual lamination and peak time delay. This paper contributes to pointing out the need of performing simulations in order to identify the most suitable setup for each different situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the dissemination and use of environmental discourse in the virtual space as a strategy to raise awareness about the planet, aiming to produce environmental human beings. Considering the discursive scenario and the emergence of a new model of subjects, this paper aimed to examine the construction of environmentally correct individuals in the electronic game Minecraft. Studies of the discourse analysis developed by Michel Foucault were used to provide the background for our methodology and to map discursiveness found in our material. When analyzing the discursiveness in the game, an environmental pedagogical discourse was evidenced, which is materialized through the environmental human statement. These are discursive tactics that aim to teach the players ways of being and acting environmentally correct, through the images of the characters, scenes, and the lessons of returning to natural life.

This paper is the result of a bibliographical survey on Science Technology and Society (STS) in Science Teaching, which highlights teachers' training for the first years of elementary school. The research was based on the following issues: what has been published about STS/STSE in academic research that includes the Science teaching? At which levels of education are Brazilian researches focused on STS/STSE approach in Science teaching? And which thematic axes stand out the most in research covering the first years of Elementary School? This study was developed according to the qualitative approach, by surveying master and doctoring dissertations, whose time frame were publications from 2010 to 2019, available in the Repository of Coordination Office for Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) that included the STS or STSE terms on the title, keywords or abstracts. For data analysis, the bibliographic and documentary study was chosen as an investigative procedure as a reference to the Content Analysis technique according to Bardin's perspective (2016). The results show that the research on this theme, regarding the general characteristics of Science Teaching, has a substantial number of publications, but mainly for Chemistry teaching at high school. Taking into account the total number of published papers and the established timeframe, we obtained 18 publications in which studies referring to the STS theme prevail in the first schooling years. These findings suggest that the results for the first years of Elementary School are still incipient, therefore, they reinforce the importance on expanding research that includes investigations regarding the STS approach for this educational level, whether in discussions on pedagogical practices in classroom, whether it is about teachers' training. So that it is possible to build a movement of constant reflection and criticality, which is able of promoting a practice that is socially committed to the citizenship education of students since the beginning of their education in Basic Education.
