Impacto del viaje de Freire a Valencia
2021
In the publications of Freire's trip, errors are detected that makes invisible both its impact and those who made it possible. An analysis of the documentation, 6 interviews with people who made the trip possible, 6 with professionals and 2 with family members in Valencia who are transforming their schools and 2 dialogical observations have been carried out. The results make it clear: 1) Those who proposed this trip both to Freire and to the Regional Ministry are Flecha and Jesús Gomez 'Pato'. 2) The reason is the approval by the Valencian Parliament of the Law on Adult Education, whose 'Report and draft for its preliminary project' had been entrusted to Flecha, who was hired to elaborate i…
Marxist Influences in Psychology
2020
Marxist ideas influenced and inspired psychological thinking and practice in the 20th century in a range of ways. In different parts of the world, unique versions of Marxist psychology emerged as answers to questions and problems raised by specific historical contexts. As shown in the early 21st century scholarly interventions in Lev Vygotsky studies, the Soviet psychologist’s work was deeply embedded in the sociopolitical, cultural, and ideological context of early Soviet Russia. In countries such as Brazil and Italy, Marxism had a more indirect influence as an emancipatory discourse. In the wider framework of Latin American liberatory ideas and struggles, the educational philosopher Paulo…
A potential host and virus targeting tool against COVID-19: Chemical characterization, antiviral, cytoprotective, antioxidant, respiratory smooth mus…
2023
COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a newly emerging infectious disease that spread across the world, caused by the novel coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite the advancements in science that led to the creation of the vaccine, there is still an urgent need for new antiviral drugs effective against SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to investigate the antiviral effect of Paulownia tomentosa Steud extract against SARS-CoV-2 and to evaluate its antioxidant properties, including respiratory smooth muscle relaxant effects. Our results showed that P. tomentosa extract can inhibit viral replication by directly interacting with both the 3-chymotrypsin-like…
Phytophthora Root and Collar Rot of Paulownia, a New Disease for Europe
2021
Paulownia species are fast growing trees native to China, which are being grown in managed plantings in several European countries for the production of wood and biomasses. In 2018, wilting, stunting, leaf yellowing, and collapse, as a consequence of root and crown rot, were observed in around 40% of trees of a 2-year-old planting of Paulownia elongata × P. fortunei in Calabria (Southern Italy). Two species of Phytophthora were consistently recovered from roots, basal stem bark, and rhizosphere soil of symptomatic trees and were identified as Ph. nicotianae and Ph. palmivora on the basis of both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of rDNA ITS sequences. Koch’s postulates…
Assessing the economic profitability of Paulownia as a biomass crop in Southern Mediterranean area
2022
The increase of renewable energy production worldwide, occurred in the last years, is also attributable to some agroforestry species cultivated according to the short rotation coppice technique. Although these species are able of enhancing abandoned or marginal land leading to numerous environmental benefits, an increasing number of farmers are introducing them in place of agricultural crops. Therefore, since for a farmer economic sustainability is one of the main factors to introduce a biomass crop, the study aimed at evaluating the profitability of Paulownia, a species that has been spreading in recent years. In particular, an economic analysis has been carried out in a Southern Italian f…
Une politique à l’épreuve du politique : le cas du conflit de Vila Leopoldina (São Paulo)
2022
[dir.] Tamara Boussac et Esther Cyna International audience L’espace urbain est à la fois le support, l’instrument et l’objet de conflits au Brésil, où l’héritage colonial fait de l’accès à la terre un facteur d’inégalités sociospatiales prépondérant. Droit au logement et droit à la ville sont deux arguments de lutte récurrents. Ce que nous observons à Vila Leopoldina est différent : depuis quelques années, ce quartier est le théâtre d’un conflit où des habitants aisés refusent de manière véhémente un nouveau Projet d’intervention urbaine (PIU). Pourquoi les plus riches refusent-ils ce projet ? Nous partons du postulat selon lequel les politiques urbaines récentes (et plus largement, les mé…
For the oppressed teacher: stay real!
2018
This article addresses teachers’ challenges in relation to other stakeholders, in light of funding policies and evaluation mechanisms. In particular, a condition where pressures toward high pass rates or ‘throughput’ in the degree system provide a good negotiation position for students with little learning orientation as to their aspirations after credit units is considered. This condition is intensified by the fact that the mere completion goals of non-learning-oriented students align with the collective goals of administration (university), given the throughput-based funding policies. A teacher willing to honorably exercise the profession is, then, ‘squeezed in between.’ Daily teaching end…
O Brasil na rota das migrações internacionais qualificadas espanholas no século XXI
2018
In order to understand recent migration, it is crucial to analyze the migratory modalities such as skilled international migration to Brazil, especially considering the ongoing transnational economic processes and their effects on the corresponding societies. Therefore, this article seeks to understand how the migratory dynamics of highly skilled Spanish professionals to the country are established taking into account the theoretical contribution of the circulation of brains and the category of knowledge workers. For this purpose, information from Brazilian?s Ministry of Labor is used on labor authorizations, financial contributions and insertion in the formal market in Spain; as well as da…
"Suuria sanoja tyhjää täynnä?" : lukukokemuksia Paulo Coelhon teoksista sekä kokemusten jakaminen Lukupiiri-blogin kirjallisuuskeskusteluissa
2010
Pro gradu -työssäni tutkin suomalaisten lukijoiden kokemuksia kansainväliseksi ilmiöksi nousseen kirjailija Paulo Coelhon teoksista sekä erittelen näiden kokemusten jakamista verkon kirjallisuuskeskusteluissa. Tutkimusaineistonani toimii kolme Helsingin Sanomien Lukupiiri-blogissa vuosina 2007–2009 käytyä Paulo Coelhoa koskevaa keskustelua. Tutkin keskusteluiden pohjalta, millaiset teosten sisäiset tekijät vaikuttavat lukijoiden kokemuksiin. Sisäisiä tekijöitä ovat muun muassa teosten teemat ja aiheet. Toiseksi tutkin sitä, miten lukuhetken ulkopuoliset tekijät, kuten aikaisempi lukukokemus ja kirjailijan kuuluisuus, ovat lukijoihin vaikuttaneet. Viimeinen suurempi tutkimuskohteeni on verkk…
