This article formulates a research hypothesis about the use of plastic surgery by immigrants in two political differing scenarios both socially and culturally at the time frontier between the XIX and XX centuries, plastic surgery being seen as a resource for affirmation of a sole and centered identity that were scientifically and politically legitimated by ideas propounding racial superiority and social evolution. In the transition of XIX century to the XX century, however, surgical interventions to change physical appearance was a strategy approach that did not eliminate the possibility of acquiring other identities (gender, sexual orientation etc). In the two scenarios, immigrants that underwent plastic surgeries were searching to “erase” bodily marks that would reveal their foreign condition and hamper their search of advancement in the job market and social environment.

The Cristalino State Park is considered one of conservation areas of greatest relevance to the Amazon. Since its establishment, especially after 2006, drew up successive disputes about its existence. The most important of which is located on one side, advocates of maintaining the defined area of the park and on the other, those who advocate the reduction. This article examines the nature of this conflict, considering the main aspects that give support, in particular its field of struggle, the actors involved and their positions and interests. Using the existing literature on the conflict, available documents, documents, interviews and observation in loco, this article asks about the nature of completing the environmental dimension.

Polymorphism, de ned as the ability of a molecule (or a set of molecules) to adopt several packing arrangements, became, in the last decades, a eld of research on its own. Among other advantages of studying polymorphic systems, one can cite the study of the in- uence of molecular packing on solid-state properties, a better understanding of nucleation and crystal growth mechanisms. These advantages became relevant due to their impacts on the control of bioavailability and processes in pharmaceutical industry. In the present work we study the polymorphism of a pharmaceutical substance, the moda nil, which is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of the Provigil R. Moda nil, whose chemical name and structural formula are, respectively, 2-[(diphenylmethyl)sul nyl]acetamide and C15H15NO2S, is indicated in the treatment of narcolepsy, speci cally the excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which is a narcolepsy side e ect. Up to now, seven polymorphic forms of moda nil have been observed and the polymorphic forms I and III are the most stable ones. The determination of the crystalline structures of the forms I and III showed that there are two independent molecules, which are enantiomers, in each one of these polymorphs. Besides, moda nil has been crystallized in the forms R and S obtained after the separation of the enantiomers. DFT calculations were performed to investigate the conformational stability of the molecules of moda nil. The main torsions of the molecules were scanned in order to identify the stable conformations, which were compared with independent ones obtained from the crystalline structures determined experimentally. For each calculated conformation, we also calculated the vibrational spectra. These theoretical results were compared with the Raman spectra of the polymorph III of moda nil. In such a way, the main features of the vibrational spectra that allow the polymorph discrimination were correlated with molecular groups associated to these vibrational modes providing an insight into the intra- and intermolecular interaction associated to the polymorphism of moda nil.

Based on an ethnographical reading of O Moleque Ricardo, one of the novels that forms José Lins do Rego’s sugar-cane cycle, published in 1935, this article reflects about the configuration and transformations of the free black family, in a context different from that of the casa-grande (the slave-owner’s house). From the novel’s main thread – wage-workers’ labor - we will explore the relationship between the engenho (sugarcane farms and mills) and the city and the social plots in which issues such as politics, religion, work and carnival delineated codes of solidarity and recreated other family arrangements among the mocambeiros (those who live in the mocambos, city slums in Recife), quite different from those who lived at the senzalas (slave houses).

Based on Raquel de Queiroz’s novel Memorial de Maria Moura, this article intends to analyze the image of the Brazilian woman in this book,regarding its position in the patriarchal family and in Brazilian society at large. The several intrigues, which, responding to particular ways of developing social and politic relationships in Brazil, constitutes the novel, will be presented paradigmatically as a mirror of Brazilian society of those times. The conceptions concerning the fights and the issues in the story in Memorial de Maria Moura will be the connected to the various attributes which Brazilian sociological and anthropological literature has given to the Brazilian woman of those times.

This paper aims at understanding the way the concept of Brazil transformed itself, during the XXth century, from an archipelago structured about «islands» of agro-industrial plantations of coffee, sugarcane, cocoa, cotton, rubber, to a «continent» marked by rapid industrialization and urbanization. Belong these evolutive perceptions of Brazil’s space, attention must be paid to the social and intellectual trajectories of key leaders — be they from the North, during the Thirties (such as Juarez Távora and José Américo de Almeida), or the most significant figure of the national movement, Getúlio Vargas — as these trajectories highlight the evolution of the political arena and the expansion of public institutions. The trajectories of these elites unravel fairly well the diverse alternatives which have marked statebuilding and nation-building in contemporary Brazil.

In this thesis, are studied by Raman spectroscopy of two amino acid crystals subjected to conditions of high pressures. The rst is a sample of deuterated L-Valine. Initially, an attempt was made to identify all the bands that appear in the Raman spectrum of deuterated L-Valine, comparing with the results of L-Valine hydrogenated in the literature. The following study was conducted on the sample compressed in a cell with argon pressure to extremes of diamonds in the range between 0:0 GPa and 12 GPa this study can conclude that between 0:0 and 1:3 GPa, the L-Valine su ers a deuterated structural change, according to information provided by the Raman spectra of the material in the region of external modes. At higher pressures, between 5 GPa and 7 GPa, changes occur in the Raman spectra in nearly all spectral regions, which also points to a possible conformational change of molecules in the unit cell. It also provided the values (@!j=@P)T for the various modes of vibration of the crystal at various stages presented by the same. The second investigation was the amino acid L-Isoleucine, which was studied by Raman spectroscopy under high pressures up to about 7:5 GPa with the compressor as a liquid mineral oil. Analysis in the spectral region 50 cm1 { 3200 cm1, one can infer that above 2:5 GPa and 5:0 GPa large conformational changes occur in the molecule of L-Isoleucine in the unit cell. When you make a graph of the wave number of two-mode network of the crystal of L-Isoleucine investigated as a function of pressure, there are clear discontinuities at approximately 2:3 GPa and 5:0 GPa These changes were associated with changes in the connections hydrogen, since the major changes were observed in the frequency bands associated with the NH+ 3 rocking and the rocking of CO 2 .

This article highlights the prevalent relationship in the field of urban policies and local cultural policies, polarized between network performance and capacity for innovation. The networks are scrutinized from the point of the view of iconiCity, a concept which allows contrasting linguistically the ideas of icon and city, and putting in evidence the competition between cities. The personified and essentialized dimensions of the city leading the urban spaces to gather dynamics designed and operated to feed concepts of development which assume the shape of networks.

The article evaluates the extent of the idea of sustainable development in effect since Agenda 21 which was promoted by global leaderships as far as it contributes to a better understanding of environment control, especially in relation to consequential actions in advancing local efforts. It highlights different senses of belonging arising from associations with regional separate blocks which in turn give rise to equally different answers to the theme of sustainability by the countries. There is a confirmation of this even when two realities are compared (Portuguese and Brazilian) which emphasizes the hypothesis that cultural and socioeconomic factors interfere with the policies that boost implementation of sustainability.

This paper suggests a framework for thinking about the prevention of youth violence. The decision on which crime prevention measures should be undertaken starts with an analysis of whether the measure is not only effective, but is the most cost effective approach that is plausible under the circumstances. The next decision is equally difficult: should the intervention be focused on the immediate location in which the problem is occurring, or should the focus be on the youth, the community, the family, or the school, all of which can affect the likelihood that youths will offend. These are difficult choices. It is important, therefore, to know what the consequences are of those approaches that are chosen. It is equally important to consider the consequences of not choosing other approaches

This article is an attempt to grasp the meaning of a warlike habitus buildup found within the ranks of the Colombian guerilla movement called FARC-EP. The author approaches the dynamics of the lives of men and women following an emotional framework that shape up that organization. The goal is to determine the incidence of a coercive drive found not only between individuals but also rival groups, with its system of rules and ideological principles of a revolutionary nature, in order to determine distinctive forms that the guerillas have developed to deal with their feelings.
