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.

Natalie Bookchin's practices since the 1990's investigate network culture and are going to be highlighted in this paper to reflect on digital archive; on appropriation as a critical, artistic and popularly disseminated Internet gesture; on what the online sharing culture imply in terms of video's conceptualization; and how the formal elements of her videos can be contextualized in discussions around practices with documentary in contemporary art.

In this paper, I consider a hermeneutic hypothesis regarding Platonic exegesis in order to show that it presents an original response to the problem posed by the critique of the middle-period dialogues in the so-called late dialogues After commenting on some difficulties of Platonic interpretation (section I) and on the existence of different hermeneutic paradigms for interpreting the dialogues, I present the basanistic hypothesis with the aid of two passages from Plato’s Republic. Next, I analyze some of its advantages (section III) and problems (section IV). In the conclusion (section V), I argue for the efficiency of this innovative approach as a tool for reading and interpreting the Dialogues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Péri Archôn by Damascius simultaneously represents, beyond the intention of the author, the implosion of neoplatonic metaphysics and the most thorough and wrenching attempt to keep it alive and to assert the systematic explanation of reality. In this line, the text is driven by a double movement: on the one hand, postulating the uncoordinated Absolute (the Ineffable) and, on the other hand, postulating some kind of coordination with the whole of reality. Based on a comparison with some of E. Lévinas’ theses, I will argue that Damascius, endowed with a consciousness surpassing that of his predecessors, perceived the danger of postulating the Ineffable as absolutely uncoordinated and unrelated: it leads to the radical unfoundation of reality. To avoid this, Damascius had to retrace his steps and relate the Ineffable in some way. [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.

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

Although social constructivism argues that both epistemological criteria and social community factors must be taken into account in the explanation of a scientific achievement, critics of this approach persist on the idea that social constructivists assign an exclusive role to social community factors -- so, scientific facts are not a representation of nature but instead only a social construction. The aim of this paper is to argue, through a discussion of the concept of construction for social constructivist (by Isabelle Stengers' concept of heterogeneity and Karin-Knorr Cetina's concept of selection) not for advocating social constructivism itself, but for pointing its plausibility as a conception of science from an enlightenment of the concept of construction: a scientific achievement cannot be understood as an inescapable one, but depends on epistemological choices and social circumstances within scientific communities.

This paper develops an interpretation about the systematic role of the logical movement in Hegel's later philosophy, as well as offers a historical-genetic hypothesis for understanding the development of the unification of logic and metaphysics first applied, in a consolidated way, in the Phenomenology of Spirit. More specifically, we draw from the differentiation between Logic (die Logik) and the logical (das logische) the resource for explaining Hegel's metacategorial notion of his method of autonomous negation, extended both to logic, philosophy of nature and philosophy of spirit as diverse disciplines. Henceforth, we show how the metacategorial understanding of negation has its emergence from the systematic adjustments that Hegel makes while still in Jena and how the successful application of this method operated as a point of resolution of his philosophical impasses.

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.

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.

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.
