This study analyzes the process of productive specialization of the work in Maranhão, through the advance triggered by the implementation of the manufacturing unit of Suzano Paper and Cellulose in the municipality of Empress, southwest of the state. Methodologically, in addition to reviewing the relevant literature, secondary data on transformations in local employment and local professional qualifications derived from the implementation of Suzano were used together with field research. The data used originate from RAIS; CAGED; IBGE, in addition to technical schools and local universities. The results found made it possible to verify that there is a specialization of the workforce in progress to meet the logic and full functioning of the pulp production chain in Imperatriz - MA.

The pulp and paper sector has a notable highlight in the Brazilian economy, contributing significantly to the trade balance, job creation and investments. Currently, the sector basically uses wood from two genus to produce pulp for the short fiber and long fiber segments, Eucalyptus and Pinus, respectively. However, it's essential to study new raw materials, which may arise as an alternative to those already consolidated. In this sense, the objective is to evaluate the properties of Liquidambar styraciflua wood for the pulp and paper production. For this, five 7-year-old trees were used, from which discs were extracted along the trunk to evaluate the basic density, chemical composition and morphology of the wood fibers. The mean and weighted basic density values obtained for L. styraciflua wood were 0.482 and 0.484 g/cm², respectively, which allowed classifying it as medium density, a value close to that of other hardwood species used for pulp production. Regarding the chemical composition, low levels of ash (0.29%) and lignin (24.71%) and high levels of holocellulose (70.88%) and extractives (4.40%) were observed. As for the morphological characterization of the fibers, the mean values of length of 1.82 mm, width of 27.84 µm, lumen diameter of 16.10 µm and wall thickness of 5.87 µm were observed. In addition, mean values of 42.60%, 57.40%, 0.77 and 65.22 were obtained for the parameters of wall fraction, flexibility coefficient, Runkel index and felting index, respectively. In general, based on the physical-chemical-anatomical characteristics obtained for the L. styraciflua wood, it's concluded that it has aptitude for the pulp and paper production.

The process of continuously updating technologies, processes, and products has placed innovation at the center of the discussions of different institutions. Once the need to remain competitive, and beyond that, to be at the forefront of these modifications has become something necessary for the survival of organizations, the process of renewing project portfolios, as well as their management, is fundamental to tread the path towards innovation. Several methodologies are available to promote the generation of ideas and enhance the processes already underway. Among these, the Tecnology Roadmap (TRM) is an important tool for collecting ideas, helping in the process of strategic formulation, as well as in the definition of actions related to the planning of new products, processes and technologies. The use of the TRM methodology allowed a company in the metal-mechanic segment to delineate its project portfolio from the collection and prioritization of ideas in a collaborative way. Thus, the hot forming process was considered in 2019 as a process aligned to the company's strategic direction, being prioritized and incorporated to the project portfolio. From the use of test specimens with 22MnB5 hot forming steel with 8.00 mm thickness, through the analysis of cooling rate, microstructure, and microhardness, it was possible to verify satisfactory mechanical and metallurgical behavior, enabling the use of steel for commercial road vehicle structures.

The existence of neutron stars was suggested soon after the discovery of such particles, and it soon became clear that Newtonian physics was innapropriate to study such stars. The problem was initially addressed by Richard C. Tolman, whose results were used by J. Robert Oppenheimer and George M. Volkoff for the deduction of what is known as Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation. This equation represents the hydrostatic equilibrium of a sphere of perfect fluid in the relativistic regime and, when combined with a suitable equation of state, yields a mathematical model for neutron stars. This paper presents the deduction of the TOV equation in a detailed and didactic way, since the treatment of Einstein's equations of general relativity (GR) until the application to the case where the star is made up of a Fermi gas of degenerate neutrons, whence we can deduce that there is a maximum mass possible for such objects. Although today we know that the Fermi gas model is by itself unsuitable in this case, the analysis is interesting from the historic and didactic viewpoint, once it consists in a fairly simple example of application of an equation of state to the calculations of the structure of neutron stars.

This article aims to examine the themes produced by students in the research paper projects of the Pedagogy course, in Distance Education modality. This research is qualitative, of documentary character. The results of the analysis indicate that students prefer to frequent themes from academic literature (ludic). It was also noticed the insufficiency or absence of the theoretical framework in the projects. The methodology used by the students was, primarily, those of bibliographic and documentary nature. Regarding the sources, it was found difficulties in defining the search websites. During the writing of the project, students used non-scientific websites, such as blogs, portals and / or news reports. The analysis of the writing of the works evidenced difficulties of the students in relation to writing texts. It concludes the importance of the professor advisor, since the very beginning of the elaboration of research projects, once it is up to the professors to instrumentalize the students for the construction of cohesive and consistent theoretical and methodological references.

This paper aims to understand how violent deaths suffered by common people and their media coverage are approached in the field of Communication, focusing on the sense-making processes about violence and its structural nature. In order to do so, we analysed papers about the media coverage around murders, published in 26 journals in the field of Communication, classified as A2 and B1 in the Brazilian "Qualis Capes" ranking. Based on the ways of identifying the victims and the circumstances of their deaths, in interaction with the ways of naming such violence, presented in the papers' empirical and analytical dimensions, we designed an overview of the silences and absences in the epistemic constructions about violence in media and academia in Brazil.

Paper Kinship: Law, Power and Resistance in an Ethnographic Scene with Foreign Migrants starts from an "ethnographic scene" with foreign migrants in a lawyer's office to discuss the role that migratory documents play on kinship in the transnational movement. By doing this, it highlights how the state and the Law discipline these relations and how migrants themselves, using the legal logic of documentary production, elaborate themselves as persons, in resistance to state power. Based on this experience, named here as paper kinship, a reelaboration of the concept of document is proposed, encompassing both the bureaucratic agency and that of the subjects of documentation.

In this work, we present a methodology to assess wrist pressure during the handwriting process. Using optical coherence tomography, it was possible to determine the deformation suffered by the paper during the handwriting process. A calibration of the deformation suffered by the paper as a function of the pressure exerted by the pen was performed, making it possible to determine several parameters of interest, such as the radius of the pen tip sphere R = 488 ± 2 ¡im, the Poisson coefficient v = 0.30 ± 0.02 and the effective Young's modulus of bond paper 75 g/m2. To this end, we developed a method for determining the Hooke modulus for a spring, with which we built a device for applying a known force to a ballpoint pen during the handwriting process. We also performed the study depending on the type of substrate, with five volunteers trying to copy the same signature on four different types of paper. Using the optical coherence tomography technique, we demonstrate that it is possible to differentiate the authorship of a signature also by the depth of deformation on the paper. The experimental procedure also made it possible to determine the Poisson's coefficient and determine the effective Young's Modulus of the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze a high-impact management article to understand the contribution of rhetoric in it. To this end, we selected the most cited study in research about TQM in 25 years, the article on strategy "The capabilities of market-driven organizations", by George S. Day (1994). To ground this analysis, a theoretical framework was developed mainly considering the rhetorical concepts of speaker, auditorium, agreement, and types of argument, as elaborated by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2010). Finally, the results showed that Day used rhetorical tools - such as the arguments of example, authority and reciprocity - consistently throughout the article, thus increasing the adhesion to his thesis, which may have contributed to the success and repercussion achieved by the author.

Although they are pegged to receive, emergencies occur with some frequency and sometimes cannot be "predicted" or even when emergency situations occur they become crucial and can save an organization from a harmful disbursement. However, most urgent purchases are oriented toward the low or inexistent planning, which, in addition to the economic factor in increasing the value of the good or the service, affects the areas involved, and even the image of the organization, the environmental and safety factors. Thus, the cause of emergencies becomes an indication and the negotiations can mean reduction of millions in expenses of large industries. Thus, the study became systemic in the emergency purchases of a large Brazilian pulp and paper producer, in addition, a methodology that allowed the reduction of planting and application costs. As a result, the goal of a 10% reduction in emerging expenditures in 2018 when compared to the previous year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Revista de la Universidad Técnica del Estado (1969–1973) was an academic periodical publication. Its aim was to disseminate the institution’s processes of transformation, which drew from the university reform movement. The periodical was immersed in the period of political transition, from the Christian democratic regime of Eduardo Frei Montalva to the socialist government programs of Salvador Allende. Its editorial production and printing processes were handled by the Universidad Técnica del Estado’s editorial department and graphic workshop, respectively—areas of the university whose work extended beyond institutional walls. This article aims to establish a dialogue between the publication and its political-educational context through reviewing a variety of topics, authors, and writing styles. Finally, it seeks to make visible the dynamics and experiences of the journal’s design work through analyzing visual production (covers and part-title pages) and the previously unpublished testimonials of the group of designers responsible for each issue.

The text aims to analyze the territorialization of the capital in Alagoa's agrarian space through the expansion of the wood-paper-cellulose complex. During a long period the monoculture of sugar cane occupied the best lands of the State, however within the last few years in the face of the sugar-ethanol sector crisis, extensive hectares of land, once designed to grasses, have been set as ide space to Eucalyptus monoculture. The phenomenon is inserted as part of the globalized accumulation of capitals context, in which capitalist stake possession of lands between the tropics for the monoculture of commercial trees, combining the trade of commodities, and to the financial capital. It is assumed that the extraordinary soil and climatic conditions found in Alagoas and the support offered by the State act as an incentive to the partial replacement the sugar cane for eucalyptus. The underlyingcontradictionsregardingthephenomenonfollowingtheexampleoftheState'sfoodsover eigntyweakeningandofenvironmentalimpacts, also are objects in the present reflection.

The present study aims to analyze how the digital environment has influenced the production of a specific genre: the paper presentation in scientific events. Thus, based on a brief overview of studies around the notion of genre (Voloschinov, 1997; Adam, 2001; Adam and Heidman, 2011, Marcuschi, 2008), we seek to point out to what extent this genre maintains or not its characteristics in the face of technodiscursive affordances (Paveau, 2017) in the online production mode. For this, we started by analyzing three presentations made during the Linguistweets event, organized by ABRALIN, on Twitter. The analysis of the productions allowed us to trace a continuum of possibilities of appropriation of the technodiscursive potentialities afforded by the platform from two poles. One tends to maintain a more traditional model of this genre, and the other moves towards its updating. These emerge from the way the readwriters mobilize Twitter's technodiscursive affordances. Thus, we verify, on the one hand, the maintenance of certain characteristics of offline presentations and, on the other hand, the production of multi/delinearized presentations, marked by relationality, by enunciative augmentation, by more horizontal and symmetrical dynamics, which characterize, therefore, the digital native discourses.

This paper analyzes the recent productive restructuring process inside the Imperatriz state of Maranhão territory, by the production chain of paper and cellulose. To achieve this objective, it presents the transformations created by this process from three strands: increase of the plantation area to grow eucalyptus, the mobility of the capital by the transportation facilities of raw material and labor force specialization, presenting the data of the cities that produce eucalyptus and its expansion based in the plantation area increase. Besides that, it maps the expansion of the paper and cellulose industries in Brazil and its logistics that transports the raw material. In addition, it presents the data of labor transformations based on the changes in the labor market, technical and college education. This is achieved presenting the cartographic and photo production, from statistical data of the Brazilian wood industry, from the annual report of social information, from the general registry of employed and unemployed people, labor statistics dissemination program and local teaching institutions.

Ten years ago the first version of the guiding document of the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCNs) was published, for the formation of bachelors in Journalism, and no longer in Social Communication. Almost simultaneously, the Supreme Court announced the end of the diploma requirement for professional practice. These apparently antagonistic facts impacted the demand for the course, the professional identity and the profile of the Brazilian journalist in the second decade of the third millennium. From the observation of the Undergraduate Conclusion Papers (TCCs), prepared by future bachelors in Journalism - and no longer in Social Communication, graduated at the Niterói campus of Estácio de Sá University, between 2014-2018, we sought to identify theoretical and perceptions of the changing professional identity.

Site Specific, um Romance, by Fábio Morais (2013), unites the narrative literary text in several arts and in an academic monograph. In order to analyze the structural arrangement of the book, this paper presents it as words converted into images and takes the essay "Voyage on The North Sea", by Rosalind Krauss (1999), as a foundation to the understanding of this singular literature work related to audiovisual. Besides noting the aesthetic efficacy of a written book that can be an image art, as conclusions, I suggest that the work seems to point to the relationship between humanity, literature and image as ever closer,.

The paper analyzes the intellectual production of undergraduated students of the Degree course in Religious Studies at the University of the State of Pará, in particular that emerging from Course Conclusion Papers from 2004 to 2019. It investigates the privileged themes and the space Amazon religions occupy in these Papers. It results from a bibliographic research in the style of studies on the state of knowledge, whose objective is to analyze the intellectual production of a given area of knowledge, in this case Religious Studies. Theoretically, it is based on Candau's (2003) and Fleuri's (2006) ideas on interculturality, understood as a way to build a more democratic society that respects cultural diversity. Its conclusion is that most of these productions do not encompass the local religious diversity, the reason why it highlights the need for more research that focuses on the Amazon religions.

Paulo Freire is the most cited author in bibliographic references of papers in the Brazilian area of Science Education destined for teacher training. However, analytical-contextual knowledge on this is lacking and still requires further investigation. For example, what would be the profile of the citations? In which types of citations does Freire appear? For what purpose? Why? To answer most of these questions, this study aims to analyze Paulo Freire citations in papers from the Brazilian area of Science Education. We carried out a Bibliometric survey where we analyzed citations. We researched five journals: Ciência & Educação, Ensaio Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, Investigações em Ensino de Ciências, Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, and Alexandria: Revista de Educação em Ciência e Tecnologia. If Freire's ideas have been challenged within the restricted environment of a few political parties in Brazil, in the area of scientific knowledge there was an opposite effect: in research on teacher training in the Brazilian area of Science Education, Paulo Freire's theoretical and methodological contributions prevailed quantitatively and qualitatively in citations characterized as organic, conceptual, evolutionary and confirmatory.

Knowing the physiological potential of seeds under certain conditions and storage periods is essential to ensure their availability with adequate quality, as well as information on more productive genotypes. Thus, this work was carried out to analyze the quality of seeds of different cowpea genotypes stored in bags of multifolium paper in a cold chamber during a period of 48 months and subsequently to evaluate the yield potential in the field. For this, two studies were conducted, both at the Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB), campus of Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil. The first stage was carried out in the laboratory with seed quality evaluation and the second stage was carried out in the field with evaluation of phytotechnical parameters of the genotypes of plants originated from seeds stored. The treatments consisted of eight genotypes of cowpea, of which five were cultivars (BRS Guariba, BRS Novaera, BRS Tumucumaque, BRS Itaim, BRS Cauamé) and three lines (MNC04-769F-49, MNC04-769F-62, MNC04-795F-159). The main conclusions of both experiments were that the seeds conserved in a cold chamber for 48 months did not suffer depreciation in quality, vigor and germination capacity, as well as the plants originated from these seeds also showed satisfactory yield, especially the line MNC04-769F-62.

This article aims to analyze three types of syntactic structures with the verb acabar in Brazilian Portuguese: those with the verb acabar followed by a gerund clause (eu acabei escrevendo o artigo - I ended up writing the paper); those in which the same verb is followed by the preposition por and an infinitive clause (eu acabei por escrever o artigo - I ended up writing the paper (I finished for write the paper)); and those in which the verb is followed by a finite CP (acabou que eu escrevi o artigo - I ended up writing the paper (finished that I wrote the paper)). The three structures convey a close meaning, which includes a set of circumstances or events implied or mentioned in the context that culminates or causes the event expressed by the clause following the verb acabar, and in the three constructions the verb acabar behaves as a typical raising verb. The work argues that in the syntactic context of these three types of phrasal complement the meaning of the root of the verb acabar includes a superevent, let us call it S, which brings together the set of circumstances or events referred to above, and establishes that such set culminates or causes the event (or a state resulting or associated with such an event) conveyed by the complement clause. The paper also shows that the different phrasal complements can establish distinct temporal relationships between the culmination of the superevent S and the time of the event expressed by the subordinate clause, and also have distinct syntactic properties, such as the possibility of topicalization or contrastive focusing within the subordinate clause, in its left periphery.

This article presents an experience report about the difficulties faced by an undergraduate student of the bachelor's degree in Geography at the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA), to elaborate her final term paper, addressing the theme of gender issues, particularly on domestic violence against women. Given the need to seek for transforming and combating some conceptions rooted in this patriarchal, chauvinist, sexist and racist society, it is essential to put in the center of the academic discussions and reflections issues that afflict women, since the University is an important space for the deconstruction of paradigms. In this sense, this article aims to "provoke" Geography teachers and students to think/research on this subject. Such themes are not only important, but fundamental and should be treated/discussed in academic spaces, especially in the context of teacher training programs in Geography, which has as its object of study the geographical space and the relations between human beings and their environment. even demanding, therefore, that people who act as teachers be professionals prepared/formed to deconstruct "patriarchal" models and patterns that subdue and subjugate women.

This text deals with the woman (non)concept in the ontological history of informing, whose figure is the formless. It addresses the marginal question of the feminine and its declassified condition in the broad lines of Western thought, especially in the view of Aristotle and, for the time being, also of Socrates (or Plato). As an argument, it outlines the formless as a blot in the concept of information and, in parallel, presents women as a marginalia simultaneous in this process of Western obliteration. Finally, it marks a reminder in the conceptual history of information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current stellar evolution models establish that stars which have up to approximately eight times the solar mass yield white dwarfs at the end of their lifes. Works appeared at the 1920s described such objects as formed essentially by a gas of electrons and nucleons, where the force of its degeneracy pressure equalized the gravitational contraction, giving rise to stable bodies with high densities. At the 1930s Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar launched his approach to the white dwarf problem in papers where he deduced the densities and the maximum mass allowed for those stars. Such a maximum value is known nowadays as the Chandrasekhar limit and the aim here is to analyze the original papers by its discoverer, presenting in a didactic form the steps which led to the deduction of that important result.

This paper is the product of doctoral research and aims to introduce the discussion and analysis of Ubuntu and traditional African philosophy as a contribution to thinking about the fragmentation of democracy in Latin America, giving way to the role that African movements and organizations have in assuming a political and ethical struggle to build a relational democracy as a necessary proposal to the crisis of liberal democracy. The methodology consists of a bibliographic review of literature and intellectuals from the social sciences and African thought to highlight a trend that is not only framed in the questioning of the democratic model in force in Latin America, but also provides some clues for the construction of a community society project in the region, based on relational ontology. It concludes that, in the crisis of the Western political model, the struggles of Afro-descendant movements must transcend the logic of strengthening liberal democracy, to propose the ethical path of Ubuntu as a route to deconstruct the political and societal structures in place, promoting a message of humanity.

Nowadays, organizations face strong competition, making it essential to look for new ways of operating in the market. One of the strategies they use to survive is to internationalize their businesses. Given its importance, the aim of this research was to draw up an overview of publications on internationalization on the Scopus scientific database, considering the time frame from January 2013 to December 2023. The research, which took a quantitative approach, searched for papers with the word "internationalization" in the title, abstract and keywords in the Scopus database using the RStudio, Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny tools. To this end, we opted for a study characterized as bibliometric research using data collected from the databases. At the end of the collection, the corpus of the research was 40 articles, including articles from national and international journals. It can be said that the topic needs more research due to its importance for organizations. It was also observed that most of the papers published in these databases are concentrated in Brazil and Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sludge generated in the paper recycling industries presents characteristics of a fibrous mass of brown color, being classified as residue II A - no inert. Previously, most of the industries have had the landfill as the final form of disposal of this kind of waste. However, nowadays, the companies are looking for better usable alternatives for those residues, as the treatment for using the residues as inputs in other processes and products, with the intention to avoid or to reduce environmental liabilities. In this context, the aim of the present work was the study of a biological treatment for the paper recycling sludge, through the construction, operation and monitoring of windrow composting. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the sludge, as low C/N ratio and high content of nitrogen, it had been necessary to add residue of pruning and weeding and sugarcane bagasse in the experiments to reach appropriate values for the composting. At the end of the experiment, the residue of pruning and weeding with sludge composting, generated an organic compost, potentially usable as a fertilizer, which complies to the established values for the Ministry of Agriculture, instituted by the Instruction Normative n° 25 of 23/07/2009.

This paper analyzes the work of nursing technicians in Brazil, in primary health care and hospital emergency. 48 interviews were analyzed; their scripts sought to understand who these workers are, how they build the relationships between training and labor insertion, and how they perceive social relations at work. From the analyzes emerged three thematic categories: the (un)predictable trajectories of nursing technicians and the search for a more socially recognized work; times of precariousness of the ways of being a worker and the sufferings of the work of the nursing technicians; only dissatisfaction or multiple possibilities of implication with the work? A tendency for the training of super-qualified technicians is configured, who keep on, to a great extent, performing the same activities, with little freedom of choice in their professional trajectories. The results show overload and difficult working conditions, which coexist with the presence of feelings of satisfaction associated with the affinity with the production of care, the resolubility of care and learning.

This article describes part of the doctorate research study, supported by the historical-cultural approach. The research analyzed the interference of pedagogical intervention in role-playing for the psychic development of twenty children from a pre-school class. The methodology was an intervention research and the data came from participant observation, in-field record notebook, photographs and filming. The results proved that the adequate pedagogical intervention in role-playing promotes the level of playing and the development of the child psyche. Thus, the thesis confirmed was that "the intervention of the preschool teacher in role-playing should not be limited to the circumscription of the previous organization of spaces and materials for the effective play of the children. In addition, it is up to this teacher to intervene indirectly and directly on this kind of activity, in order to promote the advancement of the level of role-play and, consequently, the psychic development of the pre-school child". This way, the research clarified the dialectic movement caused by the elements involved in the simultaneity of the advances of the level of playing and the infant psyche, which serves as a support for the theoretical formation and the constitutionimprovement of the pedagogical praxis of the children's education teachers and students of pedagogy courses and related areas.

Organizations seek to highlight the practices that generate value to your business. It should also emphasize that the organizational ability to learn becomes crucial to the continuity of the organization. Thus, the research aims to provide analysis of the sustainability reports of the five largest companies in the pulp and paper industry, according to Exame magazine, showing the developed and published actions that contributed to promoting intellectual capital. It is found that the activity under study plays a relevant contribution in the Brazilian economy and it is observed that in recent years the companies in this sector are developing efforts to raise internal and external knowledge, seeking to develop improvements and innovations that differentiate competitively. Try to understand what intellectual capital management practices that companies in the pulp and paper industry develop to increase their competitiveness. The theoretical framework includes the intellectual capital and corporate social responsibility. The research appears as empirical and is supported by a descriptive qualitative approach, using document analysis and data collection technique. The model of Edvinsson and Malone (1997) was used to perform the analyzes of the content of sustainability reports and therefore the theoretical contribution focuses on the extension of studies using this model categories. As company managing the contribution presents practices that contribute to learning and development activities fostering the management of intellectual capital. The social implications that demonstrate through actions linked to corporate social responsibility can promote the management of intellectual capital and develop strategies that contribute to competitiveness.

This paper aims to analyze the profile of the scientific production in Accounting Science in the first four editions of Mensário Brasileiro de Contabilidade, 1917, and the most recent edition of the electronic accounting journals located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, 2017, this way linking 100 years, in order not only to compare them, but also to evaluate the contexts that may have led to research the subjects with more publications. In this sense, as a method of analysis, a research with qualitative approach, descriptive purposes and bibliographical and documentary procedures was carried out. It is observed that the theme most studied in the analyzed periodicals of the beginning of the last century was Accounting Education, while the theme with more articles in contemporary journals was Financial Accounting. The reasons are linked to the economic context, in the case of 1917, and to the development of accounting in the 21st century, especially in relation to the adoption of international accounting standards, in the case of 2017.

This paper aimed to carry out an analysis of Joule's original texts, written in the middle of the XIX century, trying to understand how the changes in heat concept occurred throughout his work. To support the theoretical analysis, a literature review was made with texts about the Science history and the study of alternative conceptions about heat. Guided by this literature review, the Discursive Textual Analysis was used as the methodology to examine which factors influenced Joule in changing his conception of the nature of heat. Joule initially accept the caloric theory and, instigated by internal aspects of his research and work by other researchers such as: Rumford, Davy and Herapath, he begins to understand the heat as a state of motion of the particles. We believe this work has the potential to serve as a subsidy for the teaching of Physics, where the study of Joule's work can contribute so that there is a reframing of the heat concept for the students.

This study drew statistical studies between the increased use of information technology and paper consumption in the Brazilian market, using data for twenty years. Through the literature review on the topic and statistical tests, it was investigated whether corporate investments in information technology provided to reduce the consumption of certain types of papers. The results corroborate the earlier study, developed by Moraes Meirelles and Nacimiento (2010), which was analyzed in a period of six years, indicating that the use of IT did not bring benefit to the reduction of paper consumption. It is evident through this study that the values of IT investments by companies participating in this research had positive correlation with the fall in consumption of newsprint and writing paper type, indicating that, possibly, access to digital information through reduced the use of newspapers. It is also evident in the increased consumption of other types of paper such as newsprint and packaging, consumption increased along with IT investments, thus we can deduce that the easy access to computer equipment, including printers would lead to the printing of electronic files, as well as increased sales of electronic equipment tends to increase the use of packing paper.

This paper aims to analyze the impact of lockdown on education in the context of social acceleration. In this paper, we address the necessary (re)construction required to enhance the education of adolescents. From this perspective, it examines the potential of the adolescent brain, as advocated by Daniel Siegel. The present study employs a bibliographical research methodology to investigate the impact of social acceleration on education in the aftermath of the lockdown. We emphasize that the adolescent phase is crucial for the development of potentials in the educational context. In this vein, a philosophical analysis of the school is conducted, highlighting it as a space for (re)constructing practices that encourage adolescents to listen to the world around them. Therefore, the school must illuminate the potential of adolescence, such as creativity and openness to novelty, as a space for (re)creating subjects in times of acceleration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a gap of empirical studies about the economic incentives and funding models of disinformation industries and initiatives in Brazil. The objective of this paper is to offer an analysis of programmatic advertisements that are displayed in stories from the far-right website Terra Brasil Notícias. To do this, we developed a native ad data scraping script from the MGID company, composing a database of 27,602 insertions over the course of a month. We found a farm network of content and ads containing viruses, gambling houses, financial scams, and miraculous body weight reduction substances. At the end of the paper, we discuss the contributions to the literature on misinformation and point to avenues for future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This article aimed to analyze the effects of CPC 06 (R2) - Leases adoption on the rents line of the Value-Added Statement (VAS) and on the percentage of value-added distributed as rents. Methodology: The approach of this paper is quantitative, and the data collection method is documental. The sample is composed by merchants listed on B3. Analysis of variations and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were applied on the VAS rent line and on the percentage of valueadded distributed as rents of these companies in the three-year period after (2019-2021) and before (2016-2018) the CPC 06 (R2) adoption. Results: It was identified that, after the CPC 06 (R2) adoption, there was a significant reduction in the values of the VAS rent line and in the percentage of value-added distributed as rents of the sample companies. This occurred because companies have been allocating payments of the same economic nature (compensation to third parties for the use of their capital) in three different lines in the VAS, namely rent, depreciation and interest. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated statistically significant differences in the average value of the VAS rents line and in the average percentage of value-added distributed as rents in the three-year period after the implementation of CPC 06 (R2) compared to the previous three-year period. Contributions of the Study: The paper contributes to the literature about leases and VAS, being pioneer in the analysis of the effects of leases on this statement after the CPC 06 (R2) adoption. It also helps users of accounting information to understand the effects of leases on the VAS and properly interpret the lines affected by CPC 06 (R2). Finally, it contributes to regulatory authorities, because indicates a potential need to revise the VAS standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from a movement of attraction and repulsion between the ideas of Mário de Andrade and Walter Benjamin on cinema, in this paper are presented simultaneities in the reflection of both authors on the new art. With this aim, it develops a reflected reading of Mario's essays of the 1920s, contrasting with the Benjaminian discussion of the following decade. Although conceptually about Art as Photography the author are not in agreement each other --about a new aesthetic sensitivity that is established in modernity where the image begins to place itself as an aesthetic foundation even in non-cinematographic--, Benjamin's analytical hypothesis may sustain a reading of a novel like Macunaíma, by Mario. Then, the paper discusses the tension in the Brazilian essayist and novelist Oeuvre, paying attention to how Art as Photography stands as power in its own aesthetics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
