EURICO ALFREDO NELSON (1862-1939) E A INSERÇÃO DOS BATISTAS EM BELÉM DO PARÁ

Esta dissertação propõe-se apresentar alguns aspectos que favoreceram a chegada do cristianismo batista em Belém do Pará, nos idos do século XIX e XX. Além disso, se fará uma descrição da urbe, apontando alguns fatores que possibilitaram a imigração de Eurico Nelson. Trata-se de um sueco batista que veio viver pela fé numa cidade visivelmente adensada pelo processo de exploração da borracha e que permitia em seu cenário a movimentação de várias pessoas de diferentes nacionalidades, além do próprio homem procedente da Amazônia, que guarda forte herança indígena. Far-se-á um recorte dos seis primeiros anos da atuação de Eurico Nelson na cidade, analisando suas atividades religiosas nesse contexto cultural tão diferente do seu, como ponto de partida para entender as tessituras do cotidiano batista emergente no Pará. Ou seja, há uma suspeita de que os batistas de Belém do Pará, na história da implantação desta igreja, possuem características pouco contempladas por sua historiografia tradicional, que provavelmente decorrem da dinâmica de inserção neste contexto urbano específico.

DRAMATURGIA EM TRANSPOSIÇÃO: um estudo sobre Senhora dos Afogados de Nelson Rodrigues

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a transcodificacao midiatica de uma obra da dramaturgia brasileira ao meio televisivo, na forma de teleteatro. Para isso selecionamos a obra Senhora dos afogados de Nelson Rodrigues e sua adaptação para a TV, realizada em 1985 por Carlos Queiroz Telles e dirigida por Antonio Abujamra, numa consagrada produção da TV Cultura. O estudo enfoca os componentes da linguagem do teatro e da TV: texto, som, imagem, cor e movimento e suas variações em cada um desses meios, em contextos históricos diferentes e destinados a publicos diferentes. O trabalho de analise tem como instrumental basico a pesquisa qualitativa e as tecnicas da analise de conteúdo.

A shape-based decomposition of the yield adjustment term in the arbitrage-free Nelson and Siegel (AFNS) model of the yield curve

The appealing feature of the arbitrage-free Nelson-Siegel model of the yield curve is the ability to capture movements in the yield curve through readily interpretable shifts in its level, slope or curvature, all within a dynamic arbitrage-free framework. To ensure that the level, slope and curvature factors evolve so as not to admit arbitrage, the model introduces a yield-adjustment term. This paper shows how the yield-adjustment term can also be decomposed into the familiar level, slope and curvature elements plus some additional readily interpretable shape adjustments. This means that, even in an arbitrage-free setting, it continues to be possible to interpret movements in the yield curve in terms of level, slope and curvature influences. © 2014 © 2014 Taylor & Francis.

Uma descrição sonora contemporânea do imagético tradicional armorial como subsídio para abordagens interpretativas do ciclo de canções “Visagem” de Nelson Almeida

This study suggests sonorous ambiences from the propose of images configured according to the description in “A Visagem da Moça Caetana” by Ariano Suassuna in order to create individual sonorous possibilities that may help musicians to play the piece. The cycle, composed in 1996 (for voice, viola, cello, bass clarinet/clarinet), is formed by three untitled songs. Its text is an excerpt from the “Folheto XLIV”, from the Romance d’A Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta, and describes a sentence of death illustrated by symbols of the Armorial imagery, with neologisms and the peculiar accent from the Sertão in northeast Brazil. In addition to the analysis of technical difficulties to play, this study informs interpreters of the sonorous timbre and texture used by Nelson Almeida to describe tradition through contemporary musical language. The metaphors and transgressions of reason in Suassuna’s book were explored to create three image compositions so that they may lead interpreters to the sonorous description of the inanimate objects and the affections to which the poetry refers, expanding any technical-interpretative indications limited by musical notation. This research used the Visagem scores, the literature on the theme, discussions with the musicians that played the piece, interviews with Almeida, and composers’ reports. To illustrate the theory, the three images are available, printed as woodcut in cordel literature.

Of Marx and Makers: an Historical Perspective on Generative Justice

In Marxist frameworks “distributive justice” depends on extracting value through a centralized state. Many new social movements—peer to peer economy, maker activism, community agriculture, queer ecology, etc.—take the opposite approach, keeping value in its unalienated form and allowing it to freely circulate from the bottom up. Unlike Marxism, there is no general theory for bottom-up, unalienated value circulation. This paper examines the concept of “generative justice” through an historical contrast between Marx’s writings and the indigenous cultures that he drew upon. Marx erroneously concluded that while indigenous cultures had unalienated forms of production, only centralized value extraction could allow the productivity needed for a high quality of life. To the contrary, indigenous cultures now provide a robust model for the “gift economy” that underpins open source technological production, agroecology, and restorative approaches to civil rights. Expanding Marx’s concept of unalienated labor value to include unalienated ecological (nonhuman) value, as well as the domain of freedom in speech, sexual orientation, spirituality and other forms of “expressive” value, we arrive at an historically informed perspective for generative justice. 

There is something about Mary… and Ted! : Training in mixed-sex groups makes you work harder. A study about the effort when training with the opposite sex.

In many sport associations, regardless of level, women and men rarely practice together. Previous studies indicate that work groups are generally more efficient when there is an even distribution between the sexes. Could that also be the case in sports? This study aims to investigate whether the sex composition of a training group affects the effort and performance of the participants. Eleven volunteers participated in the crossover study consisting of three different 150-meter sprint conditions; individually, single-sex group and mixed-sex group. Sprint times, heart rate and RPE were recorded during all three trials. The result of this study suggests that there might be practical benefits in regards to physical performance and effort to exercise in a training group consisting of both sexes instead of training only with the same-sex or individually. The understanding could be useful in areas such as; training optimisation for both athletes and in patient- and rehabilitation groups, increasing efficiency in work environments, in schools and sports clubs striving for both athletic success and gender equality.
