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.

In application technology, it is important to observe some factors that can influence and impair the quality at the time of application, such as the physical-chemical characteristics of the grouts, the proper choice of the tip, observe the climatic conditions, calibration and adjustment of the equipment. The objective of this work was to evaluate four application volumes (20L ha-1, 40L ha-1, 60L ha-1, and 80L ha-1) in two positions of watersensitive paper in the canopy of the oat plant (upper and lower), to analyze quality and uniformity in the application. After application, the paper was digitized, and evaluations of coverage, number of drops per square centimeter, relative amplitude (RA) and dispersion (R), numerical median diameter (NMD), volumetric median diameter (VMD), diameter of 90% by droplet volume (VD 09) and 10% diameter by droplet volume (VD 01). Concluding that the reduction in the application rate reduced the NMD and increased the value of VD01, for VMD and VD09 there was no effect of this factor. There was uniformity in the droplet diameter (NMD, VMD, VD09, and VD01), in the upper thirds and lower. There was a higher percentage of area covered by the syrup in the upper thirds of the oat, as well as higher droplet density. The reduction in the application rate provided lower coverage and density, however, even at the lowest rate, the number of drops can still be considered adequate, not interfering with quality.

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.

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.

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.

This paper analyzes the meme "I Support the Current Thing" (ISTCT), exploring its origins, meanings, and uses. Seen as just a joke, the meme ends up dehumanizing social media users who do not share the same ideological worldviews as those who use it as a form of disparagement humor. Based on psychoanalytic and humor studies, this paper uses critical visual analysis to investigate images collected by an Instagram API. The analysis shows that the meme's dehumanizing and cynical aspects contribute to the normalization of prejudices by those who hold opposing political views from those sharing it. It also reveals that the meme is constructed following the structure of a joke, masking ideological perspectives through humor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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 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.

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]

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.

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.

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]

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This paper discusses the role of color in the literary narrative and the use of symbologies as a means of guiding the character in the trajectory and impacting the construction of relationships with the surrounding people. The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story first published in January 1892 by the American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It describes a marriage relationship, and a young wife suffering from "temporary nervous depression" after the birth of their baby is mediated by the yellow color. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze and discuss how the chromatic element is used and how it interferes with the narrative of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper". From that investigation, thus, this research aims to discuss and encourage the use of color as a narrative tool, based on the studies of discursive semiotics. To do so, the methods and concepts used for the analysis were based on Julien Greimas' works. The results point at a range of meanings that vary along with text according to the protagonist's relationship with her environment and its yellow wallpaper. From consternation to excitement, yellow color plays the role of guiding the character from a feeling of melancholy, going through a context of disgust and refusal, changing to a feeling of instigation and pleasure, finally reaching a state of obsession with the yellow wallpaper.

On 17th August 2017, there was a terrorist attack on La Rambla in Barcelona. From that day on, citizens would sporadically generate displays of sympathy by leaving flowers, messages, candles or other objects along the length of the avenue. Barcelona City Hall created a website including a digital book of condolences. It also placed a paper book of condolences in its Salón de Ciento for anyone who wished to express sympathy in person. Days after the attempt, a team of people working for City Hall put on a display in La Rambla. Its aim was to gather the displays of sympathy, expressions of mourning and citizen solidarity, processing them and making them accessible via various digital platforms in order to highlight their significance.

This paper aims to recall Keynes's ideas on money. In this sense, the paper dedicates itself only to recall Keynes's thoughts on this elements money, putting aside several debates on the topic Keynes undertook with a number of other authors. The paper's contributions rests in offering, in a rather short length a debate previously done only in book length documents; moreover, this synthesis will be done in Portuguese, something not yet undertaken. Although this contribution might be seen as a very humble one, we argument it is not the case, as to apprehend the course of Keynes's ideas, it will be analyzed his main economic works, namely the 1923 Tract on Monetary Reform, 1930 Treatise on Money, and 1936 The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, which is not a small effort per se. The background to the discussion will be Keynes' departure from neoclassical theory throughout these works. Furthermore, the article briefly debates how Keynes has apprehended the institutional remarks of the Monetary Authority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The social, political and educational reality in Brazil, in recent years, has demanded new positions from the field that articulates Psychoanalysis and Education in the country. This article seeks ways for Psychoanalysis, as a critical theory, in dialogue with the field of education and politics, to contribute to a better understanding of the social symptoms that appear in educational issues and, in particular, in the wave of violence that currently plagues educational institutions. We understand that the recent attacks on schools have to be seen in the context of several other attacks, from the historical lack of investment in education in the country, to the spectre of death that surrounds everyday school life, with the high rates of homicides and suicides in adolescents - expressions and consequences of necropolitics and the suicidal state that is installed in Brazilian society. When discussing educational aspects, we necessarily need to articulate issues of science, nature, economics and politics. By way of conclusion, this paper provokes the need to transmit to young people the desire to imagine other worlds and dream other dreams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We intend, in the present paper, to explore how Lelia Gonzalez’s oeuvre can be thought in terms of the problem of an epistemological crossroads for the psychoanalytical field: that of assuming itself in a decolonial movement, decentered and destituent regarding the heritage of the colonial context into which it came to be – and in which it is still transmitted –, and, taking over from there, a psychoanalysis that goes in yet another direction, that of elaborating its own theoretical notions, as well as to establish strategies of transmission coherent with the social-historical reality in which it acts. We argue that categories such as blacktuguese [pretuguês], amefricanity and the rethinking of maternal function under the light of a reconsideration of the extensive historical-cultural role of the black mother are all theoretical expedients with relevance and incidence in clinical practice, which can also be seen as the conceptual expression of both a stalemate and a countercolonial creative potentiality. An epistemological lurch such as that is considered here crucially important for Brazilian psychoanalysts, so that they can be up to par – listening and taking part in – the historical demands of their own times.

In this paper we intend to show that the thought of the philosopher Rudolf Steiner can be used as a powerful tool for the re-enchantment of pedagogical practice and the construction of a utopian curriculum because of his methodological principles. Our argument consists in defending that the teacher-student, in his pedagogical practice, in the relationship between educator and student, must take into account the thinking, feeling and willing of the students and of himself in order to re- enchant the educational process and contribute to the construction of a utopian curriculum. It was found that the experience of being an educator provides a basis for overcoming the dilemmas caused by a practice oriented toward rational, disenchanted modernity that views human beings only from the rational-cognitive point of view.

This paper approaches dance in the formal curriculum of basic education aiming to build knowledge through experiences with Brazilian dances, specifically carimbó. The methodology involved the interdisciplinary project "Carimbó, Regional Culture and Sustainable Development", with 4th grade students from Colégio de Aplicação, a basic education school of the Federal University of Roraima. We started by understanding Project Pedagogy, with simultaneous planning of didactic sequences in Portuguese Language, Geography, Dance, Music, and Physical Education. We reflected on the interdisciplinary experience in Dance and Physical Education. The construction of knowledge included the following stages: Research on the history of carimbó and its characteristics; experiences of carimbó circles in the classroom; conversation circles; and a performative experience during the culmination of the project outside the classroom, with carimbó circles including live music and members of the school community, including the children's families. This experience led to participants' recognition of carimbó as a cultural heritage and a fruit of popular resistance of communities in Pará. Due to the performative and festive nature of the dancing circles, carimbó was also the starting point for reflections on inclusion models that aim to integrate the body in school spaces. The recognition of carimbó as heritage was based especially on an affectionate approach to this dance, as well as on a discovery of this manifestation as an Afro-American resistance. Beyond a traditional Dance Pedagogy, we recognize in the memory of carimbó -- in its festive elements and its influences from the indigenous worldview -- paths for a Decolonial Pedagogy in Dance.

Intangible assets are gaining more relevance within companies in recent decades, as they have an increasing share in the composition of corporate assets. The intangible assets have become new drivers of the international economic environment. In this sense, the objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between economic performance and the degree of intangibility in companies in Brazil and the United States. In addition, it is proposed to verify whether there are differences between the impact of intangibility on business performance between these two countries. For this purpose, panel data models were estimated between 2012 and 2017 for a sample of companies from Brazil and the United States. The results reveal that the positive relationship between degree of intangibility and performance is more evident to US companies. In the case of Brazil, this relationship is still tenuous.

This paper analyzes the quantitative changes in the number of servers of some State Careers of the federal executive branch between 2012 and 2022. Thus, they were divided into four groups of direct administration civil careers that carry out similar activities and are commonly classified as typical of the state: Public Security, Legal, Inspection, and Public Management. Based on surveys carried out by the Statistical Panel of Federal Government Personnel, it was concluded that, during the period, the careers of the selected Public Security group grew strongly (+24%) and surpassed the selected Inspection careers in number of employees (-27%), which were reduced in a similar proportion. Individually, the careers that grew the most were Federal Highway Police (34%) and Foreign Trade Analyst (78%). The careers of Tax Auditor of the Federal Revenue and Labour Tax Auditor were the ones that declined the most, losing almost a third of their active servants each (33% and 33%).

This paper discusses the presence of brands on the Roblox online gaming platform, in apps aimed at children, seeking to analyze the presence of organizations and brands in this metaverse environment through case studies. This is an intentional exploratory research through direct observation on Roblox, in virtual environments that contain actions and consumption by brands aimed at children, recording the programmed interactions between brands and child users through the affordances designed. Roblox focuses on user-generated content and creativity and is one of the most popular global gaming platforms, in which we found a hybridization of consumption, applications and brands, which seek to influence children’s consumption, especially in the Alpha generation, covering their entertainment. The results validate the need for further analysis through the study of mediations and interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper, which integrates a broader research, seeks to identify what are the fake news patterns propagated in the disinformation process about Covid-19 and evaluated by the Brazilian fact-checking agencies Fato ou Fake and Lupa. For this, the strategies for spreading false information about Covid-19 in the period from January to September 2020 are considered. As methodology, we use part of the procedures associated with the analysis of the media framework proposed, focusing mainly on themes and labels of the information checked. Of the most recurrent issues in the misinformation evaluated by the agencies, it can be said that Politics and Death were the two main ones, closely followed by themes related to cure and prevention, involving famous people. The high frequency of politics reveals the ideological polarization that is experienced in Brazil, slipping even in a global health crisis such as the pandemic of the new coronavirus.

Transparency is an increasingly valued aspect in Western journalism in recent decades. Its adoption implies changes in journalists’ behavior – such as their willingness to disclose aspects of their procedures – and requires a posture of greater public openness from the media. In Brazil, self-proclaimed independent media outlets emphasize their commitment to promoting more transparent journalism. In this paper, we analyze the cases of Agência Pública and The Intercept Brasil, based on 18 indicators from three categories of transparency: organizational/editorial, financial and public participation. In the end, the results made it possible to identify transparency efforts, gaps and potentials, but also elements that help to identify visibility strategies that distinguish these media from others.

This article aims to investigate the relationship between interdiction and transgression in Umberto Eco’s novel The Name of the Rose, aiming to demonstrate that this link is formed through dependence. The paper also seeks to analyze curiosity as one of the channels through which transgression manifests itself in the face of the bans imposed on Eco’s fiction, not as a way of denying them, but of overcoming them by enhancing them. It is understood that curiosity as a transgression is the result of a first interdiction, that of laughter, and it is evaluated as both curiositas and studiositas. This expression is considered, also, as excess, an excess that leads to death and destruction, highlighting the danger to the homogeneous world. The theoretical basis of this article is mainly composed of the works of Georges Bataille, with the support of Alberto Manguel and Georges Minois. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a passage from Alain Robbe-Grillet’s Projet pour une révolution à New York, one of the characters enunciates a revolutionary program whose objective is “d’operer une catharsis générale des désirs inavoués de la société contemporaine”. A priori, the concept of “catharsis” supposes a foreign turn to RobbeGrillet’s modernist rhetoric, however, that mention reappears in several essays from the seventies when the author seeks to specify a particular type of aesthetic experience. The objective of this paper is therefore to analyze Robbe-Grillet’s concept of catharsis in order not only to unravel the aesthetic-political project of the novel, but also to rethink the relationship between theory and praxis, liberation from energy and moral effect, aesthetic education and intensification of the pleasure derived from his texts.

In this paper, I return to the concept of epistolarium, proposed by Stanley (2004) and to how this notion finds in the idea of the letter as an act (LEJEUNE, 2008), a place/non-place of its forms and nonspecificity. Thus, I discuss the development of an e-pistolary by indigenous peoples, through a critical analysis of the letters published in the website/archive “As cartas dos povos indígenas ao Brasil” (Letters of the indigenous peoples to Brazil). Initially, I define what I call indigenous e-pistolary, and how its organization differs from epistolary archives of renowned writers. I do so to defend the idea that the letters written by the indigenous people are the new letters of Brazil: a path to a discussion about indigenous postal art and the place of their letters in Brazilian literature and history.

This essay discusses the presence of the theme of travel in Ponto de cruz (1979), by Astrid Cabral. The close reading of the selected poems seeks to extract fundamental features of the book, which can be projected on the author’s work. The reflection is divided into two parts: the nature of the journey is located at first; the products of the route are then explained. Guided by Michel Deguy’s (2010) poetry studies, I’m interested in evaluating which formulas of this theme are recovered and how they are reinvented in the context of Brazilian poetry. Finally, the paper highlights the way in which Astrid Cabral transforms the constellation of traditional literary images by inserting it into the historical sphere of the twentieth century.

In this paper, we analyze the meanings of professional training and the process of insertion of psychologists who work in the Special Social Protection Service for Disabled people, Elderly and their Families (SEPREDI/SUAS). For this purpose, six professionals from three cities in Santa Catarina were interviewed. The information was obtained through in-depth interviews and analyzed from the meaning cores. The theoretical perspective was based on the dialogue between Socio-Historical Psychology and the feminist perspective of Disability Studies. The results indicated the need for initial and continuing training to prepare psychologists to deal with the complexity of the demands present in services such as SEPREDI. The dialogue of sociohistorical psychology with the field of disability studies with a feminist matrix was the theoretical perspective adopted, understanding disability as a transversal and political experience. The results analyzed from the meaning cores pointed to the need for initial and continuing education to prepare psychologists to deal with the complexity of the demands present in services such as SEPREDI. Furthermore, they indicate the importance of public examinations aimed at selecting professionals for SUAS being specific to this field of work. The relevance of an intersectional, intersectoral training that is attentive to the guarantee of human rights is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sluggishness of the Judiciary generates negative effects for the Brazilian economy. There are losses in contractual relations that result from this inefficiency of the state machine in judging cases in a timely manner. The paper demonstrates that the delay generates a disincentive to the conclusion of the contract. More specifically, it analyzes its influence on banking contracts, labor relations and contracts with under-sufficient parties. The methodology adopted is descriptive-argumentative through a bibliographic survey and jurisprudential analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the aesthetic-political project proposed by the collective of the Assis Literary Fair (FLiA), based on its performance. Therefore, we first present the theoretical approach discussing the course of cultural policies in the national context and problematizing paradigms that influenced their construction processes, considering important milestones at the international level. Then, we contextualize the Assis Literary Fair from the history of its occupation space, the Galpão Cultural, its action and mobilization history. Finally, according to the cartographic method, which uses intervention research as a methodological tool, we bring contributions that characterize FLiA as a social movement, with a community-based cultural policy.

The present paper focuses on the relation between maiden (parthénoi) and marriage (gámos) in archaic Greek imagery, observing the way it is elaborated in its different poetic genres. By doing so, it discusses the essential place and the meaning of the gámos in female life as projected by poets and their songs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to give a general overview of the place occupied by women in ancient Greek society, looking in particular at those who stood out from the majority because they had a different place: the Pythagoreans, common prostitutes (pornai), luxury prostitutes (hetairai) and priestesses. The contradiction regarding the role of women, expressed from mythology to philosophical reflections, leads us, in a second moment, to Plato's work and, more specifically, to two women to whom the thinker gave a privileged voice: Aspasia and Diotima.

What events become “police cases” in everyday policing? This question permeates the analytical approach of this paper. Covering police practices of the policing program Ronda do Quarteirão in Ceará, Brazil, we analyze how neighborhood-level events become police cases during patrols. Our aim is to articulate the production of police practices with the interactions and relations maintained between police and population in neighborhoods classified as “problematic”, due to the large number of police occurrences taking place in the area. Special attention is given to the conflicts that permeate the production of police occurrences as sociological phenomena. Here, we open up paths through which to relate police work to local specificities, and to how situated residents trigger Military Police action by calling on them in the everyday. Methodologically, this was a qualitative study, marked by the participation in car-based police patrols. Techniques used include direct observation and semi-structured, episodic interviews. The study lasted three years and took place between 2011 and 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

That of COVID-19 has prompted the search for effective drugs that limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Several clinical trials have sought to evaluate the therapeutic use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) against the infection caused by the virus. The objective of this article was to carry out a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using HCQ, in studies with different settings, for the treatment of COVID-19. The method used was PRISMA, through the search for randomized clinical trials, published between 2020 and 2022, in journals indexed in the MEDLINE database, in English, resulting in 13 papers selected for analysis. Randomized multicenter clinical trials were reviewed, corresponding to 14,838 patients, whose age range varied between 32 and 65 years. The test used for the detection of SARS-Cov-2 was the gold standard RT-PCR. The studies presented up to 3 study arms, namely: B1- control group; B2- treatment with HCQ alone and B3- treatment with HCQ in association with other drugs. Of the 13 studies, only 1 showed a significant association with the use of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19, however this was for the worsening of the clinical picture. Thus, it is concluded that HCQ did not reveal a significant reduction in mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the growing migratory movement of Venezuelans to Brazil, the state of Roraima occupies a prominent place in the dynamics of reception of crisis migrants of Venezuelan origin. In this context, this paper aims to reflect on the representation of the Venezuelan as an "invader" in the midst of xenophobic manifestations of part of the population of Roraima and the Spanish language represented as "the language of the invader". The theoretical framework is based on applied linguistics with debates on language and crisis migration. The methodology used was qualitative and interpretativist, with clippings of oral narratives of crisis migrants living in Roraima generated in a focus group activity. The results point out that the representation of the "invading" migrant is present in Roraima's society by both Brazilians and foreigners, and the use of the Spanish language may influence the way these people are treated in the state.

This paper considers school as a place where students should be provided with experiences that contribute to their critical formation. The article identifies and analyzes appreciations of high school students and teachers about literary reading practices and situates the role of the agents involved in these practices. The corpus is made up of transcripts of speeches given by a literature teacher and second-year high school students in a state public school in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. The data were generated through semi-structured interviews, audio recorded, and conversation rounds, audio and video recorded. These records show perceptions about the reading practices of literary texts from the Literature as a subject. The discussion is supported by Compagnon (2012), Saraiva and Kaspari (2017), Cândido (2004), Cosson (2016), Zappone (2018), and Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) (Brazil, 2018), to discuss literature and its social role; and in Dieb (2014), Kleiman (1995, 2006, 2014), and Silva (2020), to reflect on literacy agency and agents. The results attest to the students' preference for practices that promote their protagonism and connections with their context, mediated by the teacher and their experiences with the literary text.

The aims of this paper are to suggest an analytic rating scale of the textual production of the discourse genre interview and discuss the pedagogical implications of its use in the promotion of learning. The perspective assumed is supported by the understanding of (a) the use of language as action (Clark, 2000), (b) discourse genres as a social construction to act in the world (Bakhtin, 2003; Volochinov, 2017) and (c) writing as social practice (Kleiman, 1995). Based on the criteria suggested by Simões et al. (2012), namely, purpose of the text, interlocution, text organization, content search, use of linguistic resources, review and finalization and response to the texts read, an analytic rating scale (Weigle, 2002) was created as a way of guiding the (re)writing process of the interviews conducted by high school students from a Federal Institute (Vial; Kanitz, 2022). The purpose of doing so is that students get to know the academic opportunities available in their school and share such information with the school community. The suggested rating scale can be used to guide students in the production of different versions of their texts, observing linguistic and discursive aspects to create the intended meaning, and to facilitate the elaboration of rewriting guidelines, both by the teacher and by the student.
