Cativas e Bichas, Meninas e Moças : a subalternidade social feminina e a formação do mercado matrimonial de Macau (1590-1725)

A história social de Macau constitui um campo de estudo largamente por cultivar, mais ainda quando se procura reconstruir e interpretar a circulação de crianças, jovens e mulheres que, de origem fundamentalmente chinesa e asiática, em profunda situação de subalternidade e exploração sociais, foram concorrendo quase paradoxalmente para a sobrevivência de uma presença política, económica, cultural e simbólica que se reivindicava «portuguesa». No território macaense, distinguindo-se do que se passava em outros espaços coloniais, como Goa ou o Brasil, a presença de mulheres europeias é praticamente inexistente ou fragmentária até quase finais do século XIX, quando o estado central começa sistematicamente a funcionalizar e a assalariar as longínquas administrações, contingentes militares e burocracias coloniais. Em rigor, de forma generalizada, a presença social portuguesa nos diferentes enclaves asiáticos que se organizavam sob a tutela político-institucional do chamado «Estado da Índia», da África Oriental a Timor, não mobilizava mulheres de origens europeias, descontados alguns exemplos, aventuras e esforços de circulação de orfãs, maioritariamente limitados ao enclave goês,2 mas quase sem expressão no devir social de Macau.

Depression, family support and hopelessness: a correlated study

This study aimed to verify the relationship between depression, hopelessness and family support. to this aim, were applied the Escala Baptista de Depressão-Adulto EBADEP- A, The Beck Hopelessness Scale –BHS, Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar- IPSF and a sociodemographic questionnaire on a sample of 198 undergraduate of Pharmacy and Psychology courses of a particular university at São Paulo state (Brazil) with mean age of 23.44 years (SD = 6.8), and with a prevalence of women (80.7%). Results showed significant and positive correlations between EBADEP- A and BHS and significant and negative correlations between EBADEP- A/ BHS and IPSF, indicating that the higher perception of family support the fewer depressive symptoms and hopelessness, agreeing with literature.

Islamische Verantwortungsethik im 17. Jahrhundert: Ein weberianisches Verständnis der Handlungsvorstellungen Katib Celebis (1609-1657)

Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt zwei Ziele, verbunden mit ihren Protagonisten Katib Celebi und Max Weber. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet die Frage, worin die vielfach postulierte Toleranz des Istanbuler Universalgelehrten Katib Celebi (1609-1657) begründet liegt. Zentral ist dabei das Traktat Mizanu l-haqq, mit dem Celebi vermittelnd in die damaligen Streitigkeiten zwischen Sufis und Puritanern eingriff; es werden aber auch andere Schriften elebis hinzugezogen. So werden eine mögliche Verortung Katib Celebis in einer islamischen Traditionslinie (der Illuminationsphilosophie) erörtert und zentrale Aspekte seines Bildes von Mensch, Gott und Gemeinwesen herausgearbeitet. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgt eine systematische Darlegung der Handlungsvorstellungen Celebis. Für das Verständnis dieser Handlungsvorstellungen wird der von Max Weber, einem Gründervater der deutschen Soziologie, geprägte Typus der Verantwortungsethik vorgeschlagen. Die Handhabbarmachung des von Weber geprägten Typus für den Kontext Katib Celebis bedarf der ausführlichen Diskussion und Begründung. Ein dahingehender Theorietest bildet deshalb den zweiten Strang dieser Arbeit. Die erfolgte Universalisierung der Weberschen Typologie erlaubt ihre zukünftige Anwendung auch auf andere Forschungskontexte.

Horizontal profiles of longwave and shortwave radiation components over sea ice near Barrow, Alaska during the 2011 melt

An integrated instrument package for measuring and understanding the surface radiation budget of sea ice is presented, along with results from its first deployment. The setup simultaneously measures broadband fluxes of upwelling and downwelling terrestrial and solar radiation (four components separately), spectral fluxes of incident and reflected solar radiation, and supporting data such as air temperature and humidity, surface temperature, and location (GPS), in addition to photographing the sky and observed surface during each measurement. The instruments are mounted on a small sled, allowing measurements of the radiation budget to be made at many locations in the study area to see the effect of small-scale surface processes on the large-scale radiation budget. Such observations have many applications, from calibration and validation of remote sensing products to improving our understanding of surface processes that affect atmosphere-snow-ice interactions and drive feedbacks, ultimately leading to the potential to improve climate modelling of ice-covered regions of the ocean. The photographs, spectral data, and other observations allow for improved analysis of the broadband data. An example of this is shown by using the observations made during a partly cloudy day, which show erratic variations due to passing clouds, and creating a careful estimate of what the radiation budget along the observed line would have been under uniform sky conditions, clear or overcast. Other data from the setup's first deployment, in June 2011 on fast ice near Point Barrow, Alaska, are also shown; these illustrate the rapid changes of the radiation budget during a cold period that led to refreezing and new snow well into the melt season.
