Gil Vicente’s Auto das Ciganas is a crucial text in the study of Portuguese gypsies during the Early Modern Period. Written in the early 1500s, it encapsulates numerous depictions and prejudices against the Roma, which persisted throughout centuries of their coexistence with a frequently hostile society. Many of these representations continue to exist in contemporary Portuguese society, emphasizing the importance of understanding their historical origins. This paper aims to accomplish just that, presenting the findings of an ongoing research project that aims to gather and identify references to gypsies in Portuguese literature and art from the 16th to the 18th centuries. By expanding the scope of analysis beyond the well-known works of Vicente, this study seeks to provide a more comprehensive understanding. Through this approach, which involves the examination of new texts within a broader timeframe, the paper aims to explore both continuity and change while examining the dominant society’s perceptions constructed about the Portuguese Gypsy minority during the Early Modern era.

This paper aims to describe some scenes performed by students from São Paulo public schools, especially from the peripheries, at the VIII Inter-School Slams of São Paulo, to discuss and analyze literary literacies practices. This poetic event was observed on site by the authors of this paper, specifically the poetic performance of elementary school student Manoella de Souza, from the state school called Dona Luiza Macuco. The authors of this research take the perspective of literary literacies (Amorim et al. 2022; Neves, 2021b), literacies of reexistence (Souza, 2011; Duboc; Menezes de Souza, 2021; Walsh, 2009, 2019) and critical literacies (Monte-Mór, 2015, 2019) in defense of Poetry Slam as a political-poetic-performative act by young people from the outskirts of São Paulo.

This paper draws from the ethnography that we, two researchers in Applied Linguistics, have carried out for a decade in the Complexo do Alemão favelas, in Rio de Janeiro. Favelas are inhabited by a mostly Black population, who are disproportionately affected by Brazil's notorious necropolitics. Further, the monopoly of violence in Brazil is not exclusive to the State, as the "world of crime", even if fragmented, is also a relevant agent in this dynamic. The sociology of violence posits that the crossfire between the State and other armed agents stifle residents' political demands. Yet we engage with some residents who speak up and create innovative ways to confront the violence that is aimed at them. In this paper, we explore digital rockets, the papo reto activist register and artivism as modes of surviving enacted by favela residents in their pursuit of more equitable futures.

This paper examines a unitary notion of the habitus present in Bourdieu’s early works and its transformation along his sociological career, to later conceptions of a fragmented habitus concept to examine contemporary relationality and social change. The career of the concept of habitus in Bourdieu shows that interplays of habitus and fields are seen to demand increasing labour of integration from individuals as social life becomes more differentiated. The paper claims the need for sociology to engage with field analyses to advance explorations of the habitus and to acknowledge the potential pliability of the concept. It is suggested that sociology may adopt the psychoanalytic notion of ‘standing in spaces’ (and associated notions of ‘liminality’ and experiences in interstitial positions) for a productive development of the notion of fragmented habitus, and to enhance proposals that view the social with a history that is made available to humans to change.

Brazil has been presenting in the last years a scientific production well-recognized in the international scenario, in several areas of knowledge, according to the impact of their publications in important events and especially in indexed journals of wide circulation. On the other hand, the country does not seem to be in the same direction regarding to the technological production and wealth creation from the established scientific development, and particularly from the applied research. The present paper covers such issue and discloses the main similarities and differences between a scientific paper and a patent application, in order to contribute to a better understanding of both types of documents and help the researchers to chose and select the results with technological potential, decide what is appropriated for industrial protection, as well as foster new business opportunities for each technology which has been created.

El DN Jovem, suplemento que el periódico portugués Diário de Notícias (DN) comenzó a publicar en mayo de 1983, se convirtió rápidamente en un escaparate para los nuevos prosistas, poetas, fotógrafos e ilustradores. En junio de 1996, año en que el acceso a la Internet en los hogares portugueses no era siquiera el uno por ciento, su contenido migró del papel al online. La transición, determinada por la Administración de DN en el ámbito de una reestructuración del periódico, anunció la muerte de aquel que, según el escritor portugués José Jorge Letria, era "el lugar más importante para la revelación y la afirmación de nuevos valores literarios" en el Portugal democrático.

This article will examine the use of case studies within the monographs limit. The main argument is that the monograph as a case study is to dialogue with the traditional legal training and skills that it intends to develop, on the one hand, and professional practice in the field of law understood as a way of life on the other. The question is, then, to know what is the use of the case study could have in this context. The idea is that a model of a monograph based on case study has to make sense for the future operator of the law. The text argues that the study of jurisprudence, whether a case is a set of similar cases, can be an interesting alternative in the current context. However, to switch from one model to another, one must also profoundly change the way students are oriented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to work with the various images of indigenous musical instruments found within Brazilian information literature from the 16th to the 19th century. They are read as a form of language and we seek for them a place within the history of art. Several were the travelers who left us images of colonial and imperial times in Brazil. The images used by travelers often had the function of confirming written texts from the information literature. These images were seeking a place of speech within the written texts and should also be included and thought within the artistic field. However, how can art history deal with these images? We try to analyze the possible discourses of meaning related to such images and to seek a place for them in the artistic tradition. Our research for this text was based on bibliographic and imagery sources and our analysis sought, qualitatively, to understand the place of such images and their speeches. The partial results show that the images of indigenous musical instruments of the 16th century refer to the exotic, the estrangement in relation to the objects of the Brazilian natives. In the 19th century, such images are more organized and show the creativity and inventiveness of Brazilian natives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This theoretical paper intends to analyze those works that claims that Political Administration works as a science research object representation, a dialectical totality or a phenomenon. To do so we had performed a systematic and integrative literature review in selected papers of the field. We found out two different strains of thought. The first, more phenomenological, starts from a concept of political administration that reflects the shapes assumed by the state development strategies. The second, of Marxist inspiration, develops a historical and critical notion of political administration as the form of managerial manifestation of the strategies class hegemony and its fractions. The findings here are that both still are in its early development stages: both lacks of theoretical and empirical mediations, alongside concrete findings about the phenomena or dialectical totalities described.

The paper deals with two judicial policies initiated by Brazilian CNJ, which promote the adoption of consensual methods of conflict resolution, especially conciliation and mediation, as well as the increasing computerization of judicial processes. The purpose of the paper is to reflect on these innovations, thinking about problems and difficulties that may cross the path of consensuality in this context. The deductive method, partially exploratory, was used, from the normative review and bibliographical approach of authors who have faced the themes discussed in this text, from different perspectives, associated with experiences and empirical observations of the authors in their forensic practice.

The creation of the Capes Portal for periodicals was a milestone for the Brazilian scientific community. The Portal allowed researchers to have access to the database and to thousands of scientific journals worldwide. To verify the importance of this milestone, scientific papers published by 200 researchers from graduate courses in the Biological and Health Sciences at the University of Brasilia were evaluated with respect to: i) the number of references; ii) if the references were written as international or local papers; and iii) if those articles were of quality, as determined by Capes. The evaluated papers were from 1995 to 2005, five years (1995-1999) before of creation of Portal (2000), and five years afterwards (2001-2005). This investigation concluded that with the creation of the Capes Portal for periodicals, the researchers increased the number of references and the number of international citations in their articles and also augmented the quality of the publications mentioned in their texts.

After 10 years of digital proceedings for Enanpad (the largest academic business conference in Brazil), this would seem to be a good time to evaluate how its Information Management field is performing. The fact that all papers published in the proceedings during this period of time are available in electronic media makes it easy for studies to be carried out that use that huge amount of available electronic data. This paper presents the findings of a quantitative study that involved handling the data contained in 9.289 references included in the 339 papers published in the proceedings of the Information Management field in Enanpad, from 1997 to 2006. Amongst the most significant results is the identification of the authors, universities, journals, publishers and scientific events that inspire researchers in the IS field in Brazil.

This paper analyzes the temporal evolution of scientific accounting research in Brazil and the relationship between as normative and positive approaches. In order to do so, this study was based on documental descriptive research of papers submitted at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of the Post-Graduation Programs in Management (ENANPADs), from 1996 to 2005. Bibliometrics (Lotka's Law) was used to assess the productivity of the authors of the papers. The results are consistent with the results obtained by Fülbier and Sellhorn (2006) in Europe and reveal that authors predominantly adopt a positive approach, few researchers use the two approaches and confirm that Brazilian researchers have a lower productivity in comparison to those who publish in English-language periodicals.

This article aims to outline a profile of Controllership research in papers published in the annals of the National Association of Post-Graduate Programs and Research in Business Administration (EnANPAD) meeting and the USP Controllership and Accountancy Congress, from 2001 to 2006. The adopted research methodology comprised an exploratory study, with documentary analysis and a quantitative approach. The research results showed the main themes of these works, the adopted research methods, the different approaches to the study of Controllership, the researchers' affiliations and the bibliography consulted and referenced in the articles. It was concluded that, even though more papers were published in 2005, the volume is still small when compared to other themes focused on at these events. The small number of articles may also have been influenced by the search technique employed for selecting works, using the words Controllership, Controller, Management Accounting and Management Control, contained in the title, abstract or keywords. Nevertheless, this study is relevant to the extent that it contributes to the identifi cation of the qualitative and quantitative evolution of Controllership research in Brazil.

The use of wastes generated in the pulp and paper industries as an input to agricultural and forestry is an alternative to the disposal problem, and contribute to reducing the cost of agricultural and forestry production. However, for proper and safe use of this waste, it is necessary to know its effects on soil chemical properties. The effect of doses of calcium carbonate, ash forest biomass, lime mud and cellulosic sludge in chemical attributes of a Dystrophic humic Entisol. The pH, exchangeable Ca, Mg and P increased with increasing doses, while the Al content and its saturation were reduced with the application of doses of all tested materials. The K levels increased mainly by wood ash. The Ca/Mg ratio was increased by the application of calcium carbonate, lime mud and sludge cellulosic to values that can be harmful. The ashes were important sources of K, Ca, Mg and P. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Validity criteria are fundamental elements that make up the methodological rigor of a scientific study. Thus, this study aimed to examine the validity criteria used in scientific studies in the area of strategy, published in the Annals of EnAnpad between 1997 and 2010. In the literature review, the theoretical approach to validity criteria is that of Selltiz, Wrightsman and Cook (1987), Straub and Carlson (1989), Cooper and Schindler (2003), Babbie (2005), Hair Jr., Anderson, Tatham and Black (2005), Yin (2005), Brewer and Hunter (2006) and Malhotra (2006). From the literature review, aiming to expand the adoption of validity criteria, items are proposed so that can help researchers to determine the adequacy of their studies to the main criteria. We performed a literature and bibliometric analysis of 53 articles in the field of strategy and content analysis was made of the theoretical articles; data were submitted to descriptive analysis of frequency and percentual use of validation as of the type of research (quantitative, qualitative and the two approaches mixed), the types of validation criteria employed, and the most cited works in addressing validation. It was found that the convergent, discriminant, content and construct validities were the most employed criteria in the studies reviewed and criterion validity (criterion validity, concurrent and predictive), although widely discussed in the literature, was used in less 10% of these studies. Among the results, even if it has, in the area of strategy, conducted surveys that show concern for validation, that number is still small considering the number of articles published in the field, in the period analyzed. So, there is room for exploring other validity criteria, such as criteria validation. This study can contribute, through the dissemination and guidance regarding the main validity criteria, so that research can adopt procedures aimed at validating research instruments.

This work aimed at investigating how Chemistry textbooks of National Textbook Program (PNLD 2012) explore the contextualization of the theme "water" and the concepts related to this topic. To this end, we selected only textbooks published by researchers in the area of Chemistry. In this perspective, three collections were analyzed according to five categories that outline different forms of contextualization. The results show that several chemical concepts have connections with the theme "water", being explored under different forms of contextualization. The data show that the three collections have different but relevant job possibilities as to the contextualization of the theme "water". We believe that this kind of analysis contributes to the works' improvement and assists the teacher in choosing textbooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current study is a research-type Systematic Review of the Literature, which aimed to determine how the Brazilian researchers have addressed the theme of eating disorders in recent years. For this rose scientific articles published in the last ten years in the Scielo database, Brazil, with the descriptor "eating disorders". The categories for the description of the items were: article title, authors, characterization of the research, objective of the research, method of the data collection and conditions studied. A compilation of articles allowed the mapping of scientific research on the subject as the subject as the theoretical and methodological used instruments and unadjusted availed by most researchers as well as pathologies whose hypothetical relationship with eating disorders are more studied.

The French novels produced in the last 30 years show a great interest in issues of the subject, from forms of lyricism up to biographies, autobiographies and autofictions. In this context we have Tigre en papier [Paper Tiger], by Olivier Rolin (2002a), one of the greatest writers of his generation, twice nominated for the Goncourt prize, who after serving as a militant communist during his youth turns to writing, being the author of a consistent literary production. We intend thus to make an analysis of Tigre en papier, addressing it as a romanticized autobiography of Olivier Rolin's years of revolutionary political commitment, through which the author reflects on his political activism by the memory of Martin, the narrator of the adventures, who seems to be his alter-ego. In fact, Martins memories lead to an individual past that harks back to a larger French historical past and the communist revolutionary struggles in general, in contrast to the current reality of French post-industrial society.

Research and Development in the field of wood science in Brazil began in the mid-1900s and involved a few laboratories of research institutions and universities. There was no R&D strategy for the area at the time. Forestry Engineering Courses, created in the 1960s, basically graduated silviculturists. In the early 1970s the only laboratory, in the area of wood science of the Forest Engineering Course, was wood anatomy. In the same decade, the creation of the FUPEF, the Freiburg Agreement and the Post-Graduation Course were important factors to promote R&D related to wood. Agreements as well as cooperation with the private sector were important for the formation of critic mass for the installation and operation of laboratories in the area. To attend the market demand, it was since the beginning, one of the priorities in the design of R&D projects in the area of Technology and Use of Forest Products. Over the years, professors from various disciplines, including wood anatomy, characterization and quality, standardization and certification, structural applications and products, drying, biodegradation and preservation, wood panels, energy, supply and logistics, chemistry, pulp and paper, have implemented several projects. A large part of the R&D program considered cooperation agreements and national and international partnerships. Future topics in the area of wood science focus on innovation. R&D will increasingly involve aspects related to nanotechnology, process automation, value-added products, reduction of energy consumption, and mitigation of environmental impacts in processing and use, and improvement of process efficiency. The main objective of the work will be to increase productivity to guarantee the sustainability and competitiveness of the Brazilian forestry industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The application technology has for objective to put the right amount of pesticide in the target. To determine the ideal size of the pulverization drops is fundamental factor searching for products effectiveness. Several samplers (plastic rods collector) were used to collect the drops in that process. However, the applied methodology, most of the time, was inaccessible to the rural producer or it requested special cares in its use. The objective of this work was to evaluate the samplers made with covered paper of plastic to collect drops produced by a micro syringe. The dispersal index obtained was from 1.61 and 1.82 for water and insecticide solution, respectively. The studied material could be used as samplers for drop collection with a certain degree of reliability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this poster is under of Environmental History, to examine how major newspapers portray Santa Catarina news on social and environmental disasters, in the State of Santa Catarina, from the second half of the nineteenth century until the end of the twentieth century. The Environmental History considers the social and environmental disasters as events resulting problem of the complex relationship between human/nature. Therefore, to examine how these events are represented over the years, contributes to understanding the perceptions of the natural world. The Environmental History recognizes that living and nonliving forms of the Earth system affect the lives of human beings. The impacts and changes caused by human assemblages occur in the natural world for some time and are mutually conditioned. Thus, disasters are socially constructed, it is from the contradictory relationship with the environment that the various human groups face the consequences of disasters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work is to scale and do a descriptive review of the scientific literature on costs in the public sector, in the period from 2000 to 2010, in the electronic annals of Brazilian events of National Association of Postgraduate Studies and Research in Administration (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração (ANPAD)), Brazilian Association of Costs (Associação Brasileira de Custos (ABC)) and Congress of Controlling and Accounting at the University of Sao Paulo (Congresso de Controladoria e Contabilidade da Universidade de São Paulo (USP)). This review revealed that the most used research techniques in publications were interviews and documentary analysis and that the most discussed and suggested costing method for the public sector was the Activity-Based Cost (ABC).

The paper critically approaches the connections established by Heidegger between phenomenology and hermeneutics throughout his work in view of the defense of the philosophical richness of its inseparability beyond Heidegger’s works. To do so the paper proposes a consideration of Heidegger’s works in two parts, considering two concepts of destruction: the 20’s is considered under the concept of phenomenological destruction and the 30’s under the concept of poetical destruction. The aim is to understand the continuities and ruptures through the different stages of Heidegger’s works from the 20’s to the 30’s, which is presented by analyses of the phenomenological approach in the 20’s and the onto-(theo)-poetical of the 30’s. The hypothesis is that the contrasting analysis of this two moments of Heidegger’s work reveals a change from hermeneutics to phenomenology, which in philosophical terms would be a loss, not of something merely accidental, but the loss of “the thing itself” to which both phenomenology and hermeneutics refer to.

In the context of digital terrain analysis applied to morphocronological interpretation, this paper presents a proposed method for identifying and mapping paleosurfaces based exclusively by Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and geomorphometric parameters. It was considered that the highest residual elevations in a neighborhood predefined by the temporal-spatial relationship indicate the levels of paleosurfaces and that when tangential to the current surface in flat portions they characterize remnants or levels of old terraces. The study area included the state of Paraná, whose evaluation of the results considered previous papers of geochronological dating, evolutionary interpretations and measurements of long-term denudation rates. The results showed average rates of denudation and estimation of the age of erosion tops and remnants for each geomorphological context of the study area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with two themes that are contemporary and of paramount importance to the everyday life of the population, especially the legal environment. It is based on the study of the philosopher Michel Foucault to demonstrate the various forms of power that were used throughout history and put into practice within the population. In order to do so, in the first part of this paper it became necessary to study the terms Governmentality, Biopower and Biopolitics to designate the means used by the rulers within their subjects through analogies with regimes that existed and its consequences. In the second part of this study, we sought to understand a subject that has been discussed in our courts and generated many controversies, the Right to Forgetfulness, a topic that has been gaining increasing recognition in legal circles, studying its relationship with the Principle of the Dignity of the Human Person, as well as a brief study on freedom of information, of speech and of press. Subsequently, we sought a brief analysis of the Personality Rights; among them, the constitutionally protected ones, such as honor, image, private life and intimacy, ending with its possible use by the ruling class as a way of using it so that previous information that might cause any harm to its political reputation would be erased from all media under the pretext of protecting intimacy. The research method that has been used is deductiveinductive, developed through bibliographical research and scientific articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the emergence of the techno-productive paradigm associated with Industry 4.0 from a critical approach that, despite recognizing the important ongoing transformations, rejects the understanding of this phenomenon as being the advent of a 4th. Industrial Revolution, since the core technologies of this paradigm are essentially the same as those that characterize the 3rd. Industrial Revolution, namely Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The analytical effort exposes guidelines for national industrial and technological policies based on the understanding that the core technologies of this new technical-economic paradigm are developed within the scope of different configurations of globalized networks. A typology for these global networks is then proposed, with implications for different policy strategies. This paper concludes by presenting a set of guidelines for designing a national development strategy based on the heterogeneous aspects that characterize these technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, a systematic literature review is presented and the Active Methodologies (MAs) used by researchers in findings linked to studies in graduate programs are analyzed, with the aim of investigating the thematic characteristics of academic papers on MAs in mathematics teaching, in the period from 2016 to 2021. This is a study with a qualitative approach. The theoretical support to carry out the review was based on Ramos, Faria and Faria (2014). To facilitate understanding, the studies were delimited into three questions: Which active methodologies are subsidizing the research? In which graduate programs were the research developed? What are the conclusions of these studies? With the systematic literature review, 15 papers were identified, including theses and dissertations from the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), which discussed MAs in Mathematics Teaching. It was observed in most of these papers that Project-Based Learning (PBA) is one of the most used MAs in research and that one graduate program, in particular, stands out, for its important contributions to the quantity and quality of research for mathematics teaching. The results showed that MAs are effective in the teaching and learning process, by developing autonomy and encouraging greater student participation in mathematics classes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inspired by international experiences of the Sleeping Giants movement, since May 2020, Brazilian users of social networks such as Twitter have been denouncing advertisers and website funding platforms accused of disseminating disinformation and hate speech. This paper evaluates what criteria are presented to justify these demonetization campaigns, considering how those responsible for the Sleeping Giants Brazil accounts explain their choices of targets and what they consider to be fake news and offensive speech. The paper evaluates how the movement responds to criticism and questioning from social network users, clarifying their choices, publishing content that works as explanations of their methods. These justifications are presented as educational materials to expose to the public the difficulties in defining limits to free speech on digital networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the relation between variable input and sociolinguistic development in mother-tongue acquisition process. During language acquisition, children can acquire a linguistic system that differs - to some degree - from that of their primary caregivers. This fact emphasizes the close relationship that exists between language acquisition, linguistic variation and linguistic change. However, the presence of variation in primary linguistic data does not guarantee linguistic change. At this point, it is worthy to say that, although the attribution of social values to linguistic forms is a particular phase of the acquisition process, the perception of linguistic variability per se does not seem to be sufficient for such attribution to be made by children. By adopting the psycholinguistic assumptions, this paper aims at discussing some relevant aspects of language acquisition, linguistic variation and sociolinguistic development by analyzing the phenomenon of variable nominal and verbal number agreement in Brazilian Portuguese. Naturalistic data were analyzed in order to verify the input received by children and their own linguistic production. Formal education - and its normative effects in language -, speaker identity and the different dimensions of communicative interaction, as well as methodology issues, seem to be crucial for a deeper understanding of the topics under discussion.

This paper organizes information on Bolivian Amazon indigenous movements through different historical contexts, offering an overview of the diversity and complexity of indigenous political action in the Mojos plains. The article takes as a reference, especially, the area that corresponds to the Indigenous Territory and National Park Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS), and benefits from a specialized bibliography on the Bolivian lowlands and journalistic documents that recorded the multiethnic indigenous organization in the country's Amazon. Through these methods, the text retrieves historiographical data about the region, reviews the characteristics of the pre-colonial and republican Amazonian indigenous political articulation, and verifies how it brokered a variety of indigenous political discourses and practices at different historical moments. In its first part, the paper presents episodes of indigenous resistance to the colonial occupation of the Mojos plains. Subsequently, it recovers the history of the formation of indigenous political organizations in the Bolivian lowlands. In the third part, the centrality of the I Indigenous March of 1990 for the consolidation of the Bolivian indigenous movement is put into debate, demonstrating the overlaps between this movement and the history of TIPNIS and the indigenous people of Mojos. In conclusion, the complexity of the contemporary Amazonian indigenous political plot is contextualized so it can demonstrate that the indigenous movement for autonomy, dignity and the right to territory does not appear for the first time or was fully resolved by the foundation of the Bolivian Plurinational State.

In the 1950s, Wilfred Bion published articles dedicated to deepening and expanding Melanie Klein's concepts on psychosis. Bion's view of intrapsychic processes helped to elucidate the difficulties faced by psychotics in constituting and sustaining a subjective life linked to the awareness of internal and external realities. However, the understanding of these difficulties gained even greater theoretical and technical complexity when Bion began to explore the intersubjective potential of projective identification, which was taken as a means of communication and a primitive way of obtaining self-knowledge. This study shows the process through which Bion reached this understanding in a clinical experience and the importance of this process for treatment; it also outlines his ideas at that time regarding the significance of the external object and especially the analyst's role in the process of subjectivation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBJECTIVE: To compare the time required for generation and typing of radiology reports by means of an electronic system based on the technology of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and the traditional system, in which the report is handwritten by the radiologist. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was necessary to model, build and deploy the proposed electronic system, capable of recording the reports in a digital audio format and comparing it with the traditional method. Radiologists and transcriptionists recorded the reports generation and typing times for both systems, using appropriate forms. RESULTS: When the mean times between both systems were compared, those from the electronic system presented a reduction of 20% (p = 0.04 10) in the report generation time as compared with the traditional method. On the other hand, the traditional method was more efficient with respect to typing time, as the mean typing time with the electronic system was three times longer (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the compared systems, with the electronic system being more efficient than the traditional one with respect to report generation time, while the traditional method presented better results with respect to typing time.

estudo teve por objetivo determinar a composição química, densidade básica e parâmetros morfológicos dos traqueídeos da madeira de Cupressus lusitanica, visando verificar sua adequabilidade para produção de polpa celulósica. Foram utilizadas três árvores, com 16 anos, das quais extraíram-se discos que foram empregados na caracterização química, física e morfológica da madeira. A morfologia dos traqueídeos foi avaliada nos anéis correspondentes as idades 4, 7, 10, 13 e 16 anos. A partir dos parâmetros dos traqueídeos, calcularam-se os indicadores de qualidade da polpa. Foram observados baixos teores de cinzas e extrativos (0,27 e 2,13%, respectivamente), porém alto teor de lignina (32,52%). A densidade básica (0,375 g.cm-3) foi menor que de outras espécies de coníferas utilizadas para produção de celulose. Os traqueídeos apresentaram valores médios de 2,41 mm de comprimento; 31,40 µm de largura; 25,15 µm de diâmetro do lúmen e 3,12 µm de espessura de parede, que tenderam a uma elevação nos valores com o aumento da idade. De maneira geral, a madeira de C. lusitanica apresenta boas características tecnológicas para produção de celulose e papel, especialmente pelos índices morfológicos de qualidade observados. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition, basic density and tracheids morphological parameters of the wood of Cupressus lusitanica aiming to verify its suitability for cellulosic pulp production. Discs were collected from three 16-year-old trees to determine chemical, physical and morphological characteristics. The morphology of the tracheids was evaluated in the annual rings corresponding to the ages of 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 years. The pulp quality parameters were calculated from the tracheid parameters. The chemical composition indicated low ash and extractive contents (0.27 and 2.13%, respectively), but high lignin content (32.52%). The basic density (0.375 g cm-3) was smaller than other species of softwood used for pulp production. The mean values of tracheids dimensions observed were 2.41 mm of length, 31.40 µm of width; 25.15 µm of lumen diameter and 3.12 µm of wall thickness, which tended to increase in values with increasing age. In general, C. lusitanica wood presents good technological characteristics for pulp and paper production, especially for the observed quality morphological index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates whether the bouba-kiki effect (Ramachandran and Hubbard, 2001) does appear in the behavior of native Brazilian Portuguese (BP) speakers during a free naming task of picture pairs. We carried out a written production experiment with BP speakers. We performed a statistical analysis using mixed linear models in which we identified the segments/p/,/t/and/i/were more likely to be used for naming pointed shapes and the segments/l/,/o/and / u/for round shapes. Then we mapped whether there are preferences regarding sound parameters to name the different shapes. Voiceless obstruents were more common in the names of pointy forms, while sonorants were more frequently used to name pointy forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the study was to identify emerging themes and present trends in the literature to foster new research regarding Popular and Integrated Financial Reporting. Reporting is a disclosure tool used by the public and private sector to communicate data, results, and impacts. The process can reduce information asymmetry, organizations' costs and increase transparency indexes, contributing to value generation in organizations. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases and 182 scientific papers published from 2012 to 2021 were examined. The research followed the protocol of Cronin, Ryan and Coughlan (2008), through the software R, by means of the Bibliometrix package. It was verified the increase of studies on non-financial reporting during the analyzed period, with emerging subtopics, such as environment and stakeholders, in addition to central themes on sustainability and accountability. It is possible to infer the advancement of the discussion by research related to the quality of reports and the environmental performance of organizations. It was also observed the small number of studies on public sector reports. This Systematic Review identifies research opportunities mainly in the public sector, which has been migrating to the production of non-financial reports since 2015, but still has few studies in the analyzed corpus. Emerging themes were also observed that can be deepened in companies and public institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses memories and historical meanings of the idea of "persecution of samba" during the First Republic in Brazil. Based on the analysis of oral testimonies of black musicians and on the historiography of the post-abolition period in Rio de Janeiro, I argue that, though it seems imprecise under the criteria of academic historiography, this idea fulfills the political function of underlining and not letting be forgotten a historical context of racial violence, that is linked to music, but not restricted to it. Its inclusion in the historiography of samba is, therefore, a relative victory for the worldview of black communities in their negotiations with more powerful groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the public debate on the quality of journalism and media responsibility and accountability efforts is not novel, the recent online and digital transition context has facilitated the emergence and expansion of new forms of media responsibility and monitoring of the quality of journalistic information. This study draws on a literature review to explore the relationship between media accountability and the quality of journalism while also examining how new forms of media responsibility could enhance information quality. Three facets of this relationship are emphasised: accountability as a dimension or hallmark of media quality, accountability as a mechanism for controlling or assessing the quality of journalism, and accountability as a space for defining the quality of news information. Additionally, this paper presents and discusses findings from an exploratory study mapping and analysing the level of implementation of digital responsibility and accountability mechanisms of six Portuguese editorial projects. The mapping of instruments highlights the heterogeneous reality and potential underlying the adaptation of conventional responsibility models to online formats, as well as underscores the mandated nature of media accountability and transparency processes in the Portuguese media. The analysis of the level of implementation of these mechanisms indicates asymmetries in their application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper has as a theoretical framework the diversity management and cultural competence. It aims to identify ways of managing diversity in a public library in the interior of the state of São Paulo, establishing a theoretical reflection between this management and the development of cultural competence in the organization. The relations between the purposes of organizational planning and the actions developed by the library team, was evaluated. The importance of information and communication to promote diversity was identified, and the perception of conflicts in the library was also evaluated. Cultural diversity and cultural competence were considered in the organizational processes. The Case Study research method was applied. The findings consist of the following: the library has a management approach aligned with the goal of being a cultural reference locally for the various cultures, experiences, and subjectivities; library staff itself indicates the library's diversity perception and the importance of representativeness for the development and execution of intercultural projects; the information and communication between the library and the public assist with the commitment of diversity; the library aims to promote activities that help different social groups. The survey concluded that the development of competences at the individual and organizational levels is the solution to achieve coexistence and integration of multicultural groups. Thus, cultural competence demands actions that involve efficient information and communication flows between groups of distinct individuals; this can enhance the diversity management in organizations.

This paper aims to present the main points related to the technical philosophy of self-healing of electrical distribution networks, within the context of Smart Grids and the main equipment and elements that are part of this context. Through the identification of the main power quality (PQ) disturbances that cause damage to equipment and components, connections will be made between the technical characteristics of protection equipment (circuit breakers, reclosers, automatic switches, sectionalizers, and relays), their respective type tests provided by standards and the vulnerable points concerning their power and control circuits, which directly affect the performance of the self-healing philosophy and the improvement of quality indexes (Equivalent Duration of Interruption and Equivalent Frequency of Interruption), established by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).

One of the great challenges for investors is to identify how, when, and where to invest for a greater return on the money invested and with the lowest possible risk. Following this reasoning, the objective of this paper was to identify the investment funds governed by CVM (Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil) Instruction No. 555 that were most sensitive to Selic Rate variations in the period from January 2016 to March 2020. The oscillations in the funds are analyzed by the series that capture the displacement of investments: net fundraising, investments, redemptions, and the number of shareholders. The classification established by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Markets Entities was used as a reference, among fixed income, stock, multimarket, and exchange-traded funds. The methodology relied on documental analysis of secondary data, descriptive statistics, Spearman's non-parametric correlation analysis, and Granger's causality test. The results found reveal that total net fundraising in multimarket funds, number of multimarket fund shareholders, number of foreign exchange fund shareholders, total investments in fixed income funds, total investments in multimarket funds, and total redemptions in multimarket funds are the series that are directly preceded by oscillations in the Selic rate, in the period analyzed, indicating that this could help forecast their future movements.

The objective of this work was to verify the effect of electromagnetic waves on the sanitary and physiological quality of soybean seeds. The seeds were submitted to different exposure periods (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 seconds), under electromagnetic waves with power of 900 W and frequency of 2.45 GHz, using the micro-ondas and the fungicide dicarboximide (250 g. 100 kg-1 of seeds), as an additional treatment. For the sanity test, 200 seeds were used per treatment, distributed in ten seeds per Petri dish. In the physiological test, 200 seeds per treatment were also used, distributed in 50 seeds per Germitest paper. The experimental design used was completely randomized, with ten treatments and four replications of 50 seeds each. The fungi, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp. and Fusarium sp. All periods of exposure to electromagnetic waves were efficient in reducing fungi identified in seeds. The sanitary and physiological quality was favored when the soybean seeds were exposed for up to 60 seconds, under a power of 900 W and a frequency of 2.45 GHz. The exposure of soybean seeds in periods longer than 80 seconds, under conditions of potency and frequency studied, had a negative effect on the percentage of hard seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of 2019, the media cycle was taken over by the news about the coronavirus, soon the whole world was enveloped by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the New York Times, currently, the number is 4,297,830 deaths worldwide, 202,872,928 total cases. In Brazil, so far, 20,165,672 cases have been registered. Despite the great emergence of this pandemic by the virus caused by SARS-CoV-2 in our country and in the world, several options of diagnostic methodologies have been treated to help us detect this agent, helping to prevent its spread, detecting those who have already had a disease and, in some cases, favoring early treatment. This paper aims at each of these methods, describing how each one of them works in the diagnosis of COVID-19. This work is a bibliographic study, descriptive of the type of integrative literature review, starting from the bibliographic survey and analysisof bibliographic data available from previous researches.

This study addresses the transparency of Brazilian public health management, focusing on the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to strengthen the public debate about the implementation and consolidation of transparent management. This study carried out a qualitative systematic review. The guiding question adopted in this review was: did the state of public calamity originated with Covid-19 affect in which direction the relationship of public management with the principles of transparency? Studies that addressed the concept of transparency, related to the sphere of public health administration, within the scope of the Covid-19 pandemic, were eligible. Papers published in journals indexed in the Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) database were selected. Of the 55 articles resulting from the search, 6 articles were included in the qualitative synthesis of this review by matched the eligibility criteria. Among the studies included in the review, only one study presented an example of efficiency in the accessibility of information on the application of public resources during the pandemic, evidencing the existence of a gap in the practical application of effective transparency in Brazilian public management, despite the robust institutional framework of Brazilian public management.

In this paper we present part of the results of a master's research. The research was developed in the thematic field of drugs from the perspective of popular education, having as an empirical field the Boy's Home, a socio-educational unit located in the municipality of Lagoa Seca, State of Paraíba, Brasil. Methodologically, it has been a qualitative research developed through unsystematic observations in the Boy's Home and through semi-structured interviews with teachers from the School of that institution. The empirical material from the interviews was analyzed according to the Thematic Analysis procedures of Braun and Clarke (2006). Among other findings, we identified that teachers do not have systematized knowledge about popular education, but they develop actions that are close to their postulates. As a conclusion, we highlight, for example, the need to offer continuous formation to the teachers of the investigated institution, so that the approaches of popular education can be effectively developed in said context.
