A transformação e revalorização do espaço do centro histórico de Santos/SP

The city of Santos always had its importance recognised by the respectful role of flowing off the coffee production between the end of 19th and beginning of 20th centuries. All effervescence of this period brought changes to the central area of the city, located near the port. Beginning in the 1970s, some changes in the politics and in the city's urban space made its cafes, theaters, stores and traditional residencies find itselves in decadence imposed by the negligence of the public power. The Historic Downtown of Santos changed to a forgotten and depreciated space and remained that way for many years, reflecting negatively in the preservation of the arquitetonic heritage of the city. The present project aims to analyse the transformation of the current space of the Hitoric Downtown of Santos from the beginning of the 20th century and its recent revaluation through the public politics of the city

O cinema sem rua

The project consists of a book-report on the street movie theaters in Brazil, which are increasingly scarce. Multiplexes are taking the market by several factors, including scheduling and directed to the blockbusters that malls provide security, which does not occur in street theaters, which have a more independent programming. The report will portray the film as a physical space and playful all the influence that the place provides, yet is losing its audience

As contribuições do dialogismo de bakhtin e do signo em umberto eco para o ensino de língua estrangeira

This article discusses the dialogism in Mikhail Bakhtin and the grounds of the linguistic sign in Umberto Eco, with the intention to use the themes and authors, to support the teaching-learning methodologies of foreign language (English and Spanish) at the public school of São Paulo state. The conceptual approach of the two authors allows us to infer that learning a foreign language is effected by the appropriation of utterances and cultural knowledge, pedagogical concept that confronts the traditional method used in the São Paulo school, which is based mainly on grammar teaching and lexicons. The paper derives the theoretical research used to support a dissertation, posing and evaluates preliminary, the integration of traditional theaters in foreign language in public schools, with digital environments (in online courses), and also the educational effects -the use of audiovisual material at the classroom and online learning.

501(C)(3) Nonprofit Organizations in Nebraska: 2008

Nonprofit organizations are important to the quality of life in communities. They exist in complex variety and include church congregations, private schools, service clubs, business leagues, social and recreational clubs, labor unions, farm bureaus, community theaters, neighborhood organizations and many more. Only the largest of nonprofits are likely to have employees, with most relying upon volunteers to meet their human resource requirements. They obtain their financial resources through donations, investments, grants and fee based activities, such as festivals and educational programs.

The History of the German-Russian Colony in Lincoln

Standing at the corner of Tenth and O streets in the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, any week-day morning between 7:30 and 8 o'clock, you may see pass by you from ten to twenty women with little black woolen shawls on their heads. Ask any citizen who they are, and ninety-nine times in one hundred he will tell you they are "Russians" who live down on the bottoms, that they are going out into the offices and homes to wash and scrub and clean house, and that their husbands are street laborers or work for the railroad. He may then grow confidential and tell you that he "has no use for these people", that "they are only half human", and that he "would just as soon see the Chinese come here as those people". As a matter of fact the greater part of his information is incorrect, partly through race prejudice but chiefly through ignorance of their history. These people, of whom there are about 4,000 in the city (Including "beet fielders"), are Germans, not Russians: they are Teutons, not Slavs; they are Lutheran and Reformed, not Greek Catholics. To be sure they and their ancestors lived in Russia for over one hundred years and they came here directly from the realm of the Czar whoso bona fide citizens they were—but they never spoke the Russian language, never embraced the Greek religion, never intermarried with the Russians, and many of their children never saw a Russian until they left their native village for the new home in America. They despise being called "Russians" just as an Italian resents "Dago"; a Jew, "Sheeny"; and a German, "Dutchman". Ask them where they came from and most of the children and not a few of the grown people will say, "Germany". If you pursue your questioning as to what part of Germany, they will tell you "Saratov" or "Samara" - two governments in the eastern part of Russia on the lower course of the Volga river. The misconceptions concerning the desirability of these German-Russians as citizens arise from their unprogressiveness as compared with those Germans who come to us directly from the mother country. During their century's sojourn in Russia they have been out of the main current of civilization, a mere eddy in the stream of progress. They present a concrete example of arrested development, The characteristics which differentiate them from other Germans are not due to an inherent lack of capacity but to different environment. Notwithstanding this, the German- Russians have some admirable qualities. They bring us large stores of physical energy and an almost unlimited capacity for work. The majority of them are literate although the amount of their education is limited. They are thrifty and independent, almost never applying for public aid. They are law abiding, their chief offenses being those which are traceable to their communal life in Russia. They are extremely religious, all their social as well as spiritual life being bound up in the church which they support right royally. To be sure, the saloon gets their vote (the prohibition vote among them is increasing); but "was not the first miracle that Christ performed the turning of water into wine? If they would shut up the shows (theaters), they wouldn't need to shut up the saloons". The object of this paper is to give the historical setting in which the German-Russians have lived as one means to a better understanding and appreciation of them by our own citizens.

Measurement of the concentration and size of aerosol particles and identification of the sources in orthopedic surgeries

In this study, the measurement of the concentration and size of particles and the identification of their sources were carried out at five orthopedic surgeries. The aerosol concentration and particle size distribution, ranging from 0.3 mu m 10 mu m, were measured and related to the type of indoor activity. The handling of surgical linen and gowns, handling of the patient, use of electrosurgical apparatus, use of a bone saw, handling of equipment, and cleaning of the room were identified as the most important sources of particles, with each of these activities posing different risks to the health of the patients and workers. The results showed that most of the particles were above 0.5 mu m and that there was a strong correlation among all particles of sizes above 1 mu m. Particles with diameters in the range of 0.3 mu m-0.5 mu m had a good correlation only with particles in the ranges of 0.5 mu m-1.0 mu m and 1.0 mu m-3.0 mu m in three of the surgeries analyzed. Findings led to the conclusion that most of the events responsible for generating aerosol particles in an orthopedic surgery room are brief, intermittent, and highly variable, thus requiring the use of specific instrumentation for their continuous identification and characterization.

«Wir stehen da, gefesselte Betrachter». Theater und Gesellschaft

Das Theater inszeniert eine Spielwirklichkeit, die von der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit nie ganz zu trennen ist - und, je nach Ansatz, auch nicht zu trennen sein soll. Die historischen und aktuellen Formen von Theater und ihre gesellschaftlichen Wechselwirkungen sind vielfältig und reichen von der Inszenierung der Gemeinschaft und Konstruktion nationaler Identität im Festspiel zu Krisenzeiten bis zu den Versuchsanordnungen, mit welchen Lukas Bärfuss gesellschaftliche Phänomene der Gegenwart in einem Kontext des postdramatischen Theaters freilegt. Zeigt sich bei Friedrich Dürrenmatt und Max Frisch ein je grundlegend divergierendes Verhältnis zur Möglichkeit einer Entwicklung zum Besseren, so zählt Rolf Hochhuth auf die aufklärerische Wirkung des Dokumentarischen. In den Theatertexten von Thomas Hürlimann spiegelt sich eine Schweizer Gesellschaft, die sich als Theater-Zuschauerin der sie umgebenden Katastrophen konstituiert. Die Spannung zwischen literarischem Text und Praxis des Regietheaters, wie sie für die Multimedialität des Theaters charakteristisch ist, zeigt sich exemplarisch in den Erfahrungen der Autorin Maja Beutler. Mit Texten von: Ursula Amrein, Lukas Bärfuss, Peter von Matt, Franziska Kolp, Elio Pellin, Rudolf Probst, Ursula Ruch, Peter Utz und Ulrich Weber

Theatergeschichte. Eine Einführung

Theatergeschichte ist das Geschehen selbst, Theatergeschichtsschreibung die Reflexion darüber. Das eine ist ein Verlauf, das andere eine Konstruktion. Die Einführung handelt vom Widerspruch zwischen beiden. Worin werden die Ursprünge von Theater gesehen? Gab es ein Theatervakuum zwischen 530 und 930 und damit verbunden eine Wiederentdeckung von Theater im späten Mittelalter und in der Renaissance? Und wie verhalten sich Theater und Medien zueinander? Diese drei Fragen strukturieren theaterhistoriographische Werke unabhängig davon, ob sie explizit gestellt werden. Mit ihnen berührt der historiographische Diskurs den Eigensinn der Theatergeschichte. Sie legen ein exemplarisches Vorgehen nahe, das weniger die Großtaten der Theatergeschichte aneinanderreiht, als ihre offenen Fragen versammelt: ein Überblick der besonderen Art. Dieses Studienbuch stellt die Geschichte des Theaters von seinen Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart in sieben übersichtlichen Kapiteln dar.

A prospective cohort study evaluating the state of medical readiness in the United States Air Force and risk factors to improve the medical readiness posture

A cohort of 418 United States Air Force (USAF) personnel from over 15 different bases deployed to Morocco in 1994. This was the first study of its kind and was designed with two primary goals: to determine if the USAF was medically prepared to deploy with its changing mission in the new world order, and to evaluate factors that might improve or degrade USAF medical readiness. The mean length of deployment was 21 days. The cohort was 95% male, 86% enlisted, 65% married, and 78% white.^ This study shows major deficiencies indicating the USAF medical readiness posture has not fully responded to meet its new mission requirements. Lack of required logistical items (e.g., mosquito nets, rainboots, DEET insecticide cream, etc.) revealed a low state of preparedness. The most notable deficiency was that 82.5% (95% CI = 78.4, 85.9) did not have permethrin pretreated mosquito nets and 81.0% (95% CI = 76.8, 84.6) lacked mosquito net poles. Additionally, 18% were deficient on vaccinations and 36% had not received a tuberculin skin test. Excluding injections, the overall compliance for preventive medicine requirements had a mean frequency of only 50.6% (95% CI = 45.36, 55.90).^ Several factors had a positive impact on compliance with logistical requirements. The most prominent was "receiving a medical intelligence briefing" from the USAF Public Health. After adjustment for mobility and age, individuals who underwent a briefing were 17.2 (95% CI = 4.37, 67.99) times more likely to have received an immunoglobulin shot and 4.2 (95% CI = 1.84, 9.45) times more likely to start their antimalarial prophylaxsis at the proper time. "Personnel on mobility" had the second strongest positive effect on medical readiness. When mobility and briefing were included in models, "personnel on mobility" were 2.6 (95% CI = 1.19, 5.53) times as likely to have DEET insecticide and 2.2 (95% CI = 1.16, 4.16) times as likely to have had a TB skin test.^ Five recommendations to improve the medical readiness of the USAF were outlined: upgrade base level logistical support, improve medical intelligence messages, include medical requirements on travel orders, place more personnel on mobility or only deploy personnel on mobility, and conduct research dedicated to capitalize on the powerful effect from predeployment briefings.^ Since this is the first study of its kind, more studies should be performed in different geographic theaters to assess medical readiness and establish acceptable compliance levels for the USAF. ^
