3D calculation of Tucson-Melbourne 3NF effect in triton binding energy

As an application of the new realistic three-dimensional (3D) formalism reported recently for three-nucleon (3N) bound states, an attempt is made to study the effect of three-nucleon forces (3NFs) in triton binding energy in a non partial wave (PW) approach. The spin-isospin dependent 3N Faddeev integral equations with the inclusion of 3NFs, which are formulated as function of vector Jacobi momenta, specifically the magnitudes of the momenta and the angle between them, are solved with Bonn-B and Tucson-Melbourne NN and 3N forces in operator forms which can be incorporated in our 3D formalism. The comparison with numerical results in both, novel 3D and standard PW schemes, shows that non PW calculations avoid the very involved angular momentum algebra occurring for the permutations and transformations and it is more efficient and less cumbersome for considering the 3NF.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in dancers and former dancers participating in the largest dance festival in the world

Objective: To verify the presence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in dancers and former dancers participating in the 27th Joinville Dance FestivalMaterial and methods: The research was conducted at the 27th Joinville Dance Festival in Santa Catarina, Brazil, with 173 participants in the competition, where 139 were dancers and 34 were former dancers with at least ten years of practiceIn order to obtain information related to MSDs, dancers answered a specific questionnaireResults: The study group consisted of adults (28±9 years) with body mass index within the normal range (21.3±2.3) with high weekly training time (955.7±837.2) and featuring long-time experience in dancing (18±7years)The lumbar spine and knees were the most affected by MSDsThe pain of high intensity was the symptom that most often appeared in reports among survey participantsConclusion: It is important to have deeper knowledge of the prevalence of pain among professional dancers, the factors associated with pain conditions and its impact on everyday life in order to plan new forms of prevention and plan new forms of prevention and treatment within a multidisciplinary approach© 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Rock in Rio – um festival (im)pertinente à música brasileira e à redemocratização nacional

A análise histórica sobre a realização do Rock in Rio (Rio de Janeiro, 1985), evento musical que contou com bandas e cantores nacionais e internacionais, permite trazer, além de dados históricos sobre a inédita concretização de um megaevento musical no Brasil, elementos de compreensão acerca da discussão sobre o Festival bem como o próprio rock nacional oitentista no período de redemocratização política brasileira. Pois, as críticas ao Rock in Rio partiram tanto de membros da Igreja Católica quanto perpassaram o campo musical e político, sempre respaldadas, aliás, em reações em defesa da “autêntica” música brasileira contra a “invasão” do rock, bem como sobre o suposto teor alienante e alienado das esferas e estruturas do rock. Além disso, este artigo busca refletir sobre mais um velho-novo gênero musical nos primeiros e mancos passos da redemocratização política brasileira.
