An 18th century understanding of migraine - Samuel Tissot (1728-1797)

During the period 1778-1780 the Swiss physician Samuel A A D Tissot (1728-1797) published his Traite des nerfs et de leur maladies, a work which continued to be available and widely influential until at least the middle of the following century. It contained a long chapter dealing with migraine, based on the earlier literature on the topic and on Tissot's own clinical experience. The work appeared at the beginning of the modern era of interest in migraine, and provided the first reasonably adequate and systematic account of the disorder to become widely available. Its descriptions of migraine phenomena have an enduring validity, though Tissot's ideas on the pathogenesis of the disorder, viz. that it usually arose from stomach disturbance, were not founded on satisfactory evidence and are long since superseded.

A geometria do compasso (1797) de Mascheroni (1750 – 1800) em atividades com o GeoGebra

The present work aims to show a possible relationship between the use of the History of Mathematics and Information and Communication Technologies (TIC) in teaching Mathematics through activities that use geometric constructions of the “Geometry of the Compass” (1797) by Lorenzo Mascheroni (1750-1800). For this, it was performed a qualitative research characterized by an historical exploration of bibliographical character followed by an empirical intervention based on use of the History of Mathematics combined with TIC through Mathematical Investigation. Thus, studies were performed in papers dealing with the topic, as well as a survey to highlight problems and /or episodes of the history of mathematics that can be solved with the help of TIC, allowing the production of a notebook of activities addressing the resolution of historical problems in a computer environment. In this search, we came across the problems of geometry that are presented by Mascheroni stated previously in the work that we propose solutions and investigations using GeoGebra software. The research resulted in the elaboration of an educational product, a notebook of activities, which was structure to allow during its implementation, students can conduct historical and/or Mathematics research, therefore, we present the procedures for realization of each construction, followed at some moments by original solution of the work. At the same time, we encourage students to investigate/reflect its construction (GeoGebra), in addition to making comparisons with the solution Mascheroni. This notebook was applied to two classes of the course of Didactics of Mathematics I (MAT0367) Course in Mathematics UFRN in 2014. Knowing the existence of some unfavorable arguments regarding the use of history of mathematics, such as loss of time, it was found that this factor can be mitigated with the aid of computational resource, because we can make checks using only the dynamism of and software without repeating the construction. It is noteworthy that the minimized time does not mean loss of reflection or maturation of ideas, when we adopted the process of historical and/or Mathematics Investigation

Social Transformations and Survivals in the Spanish Navy: The Midshipmen’s Access Requirements (1717-1869)

This work studies the creation, development and evolution of the Spanish midshipmen, through their requirements, from the early 18th century to the second third of the 19th century. The aims are: to know deeply an essential post in the Navy –naval cadet- that still requires an exhaustive review; and, primarily, to link the transformations of the candidates’ requirements to the social debates which were proposed in Spain during this two centuries. The so-called transition from the estates society to the class society, or the step from a society of inheriting criteria to a society based on achieving variables, did not occur linearly; changes and inertia went hand in hand with contradictions and conflicts, thus in this paper the Spanish midshipmen are analysed by several relationally variables.

El capitán de Morenos Tadeo Munieza y la expulsión de los ingleses de trujillo el 27 de abril de 1797

Este artículo comprueba que la expulsión de las tropas inglesas y la recuperación del puerto de Trujillo, Honduras, fue obra de las milicias morenas inglesas sirviendo bajo el pendón español el día 27 de abril de 1797. Hace un recuento de las diferentes versiones que fueron escritas en la Gaceta de Guatemala y por los oficiales en dicho lugar. La comparación de la información permitió esclarecer quienes realmente lucharon y liberaron el puerto de Trujillo. En el año 1801, el capitán de las milicias morenas inglesas, Tadeo Munieza demandó un reconocimiento por su participación en la expulsión de los ingleses de Trujillo. Su historia expuso las falsedades declaradas en los reportes oficiales y en la Gaceta de Guatemala. Por ello, Tadeo Munieza hizo que la Real Junta de Guerra reconociera su reclamo y aceptara su narración de la batalla en Trujillo.Abstract: This paper establishes that the recovery and expulsion of the British forces at the port of Trujillo. Honduras, was done by the English free colored militias serving the Spaniards on April 27, 1797. It reviews the accounts written on the Gaceta de Guatemala and the reports stated by officers on the field. The caparison of such information permitted to understand who really fought and liberated the pond of Trujillo. On 1801, the captain of the English free colored militias, Tadeo Munieza demanded rewards for the actions taken ¡n the expulsion of the British troops from Trujillo. This story showed the lies placed on the official reports and in the Gaceta de Guatemala. Therefore, Tadeo Muniesa made the Council of War to agree upon his claim and to accept the chronicle presented of the battle at Trujillo.
