Rejuvenating the Aged Intestinal System
No full textIn the elderly, the intestine experiences altered functionality and compromised regenerative capacity especially following chemotherapy treatments. Omrani et al discovered that this is due to a chronic inflammatory environment fueled by the cytokine Interferon gamma (IFNg). Remarkably, a mere 5 days pre-treatment with an anti- IFNg allowed old mice to completely regenerate their intestine after chemotherapy, neutralizing the typically devastating side effects
Les sciences participatives à l’École : Un levier pour renouveler l’éducation scientifique et écologique
Get PDFParticipatory sciences at school involve students in authentic research projects, renewing scientific and ecological education. They encourage cross-disciplinary learning, motivation and commitment by connecting students to real-life issues. However, there are still limitations, such as the complexity of the resources available to students and the limited involvement of students in the various stages of the scientific process. Projects such as EDU Oak bodyguards have shown the importance of co-constructing these projects with teachers and researchers to enhance pedagogical integration. To be successful, they require appropriate teacher training, institutional support and increased collaboration between educational and scientific players.Les sciences participatives à l’École permettent d’impliquer les élèves dans des projets de recherche authentiques, renouvelant l’éducation scientifique et écologique. Elles favorisent l’apprentissage pluridisciplinaire, la motivation et l’engagement en connectant les élèves à des problématiques concrètes. Cependant, des limites subsistent, comme la complexité des ressources à disposition des élèves et une participation restreinte des élèves aux différentes étapes du processus scientifique. Des projets comme EDU Oak bodyguards ont montré l’importance d’une co-construction de ces projets avec les enseignant.es et les chercheur.es pour renforcer l’intégration pédagogique. Leur succès nécessite une formation adaptée des enseignant.es, un soutien institutionnel ainsi qu’une collaboration accrue entre acteurs éducatifs et scientifiques
Cosmopolitics and The Commons
Get PDFWho is open education for, and where might it ultimately lead us? This paper examines social and political dimensions of open education with a focus on the concept of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitics. After providing an outline of open education, I proceed by critically examining the commonly held policy position that ‘publicly funded should mean openly licenced’, arguing that it implies a form of ‘weak’ moral cosmopolitanism. I describe ‘global citizenship’ and show its relevance to coordination in the efforts of open education through a commons supported by open licences. Tensions are surfaced between the universalist perspectives of cosmopolitanism and the recent emphasis on political issues such as social justice, decolonization, equity, diversity and inclusion in open education research. To address these, I explore a concept of openness as ‘counter-enclosure’ and argue for the relevance of a cosmopolitical perspective on open education. I draw on Leonelli’s (2023) distinction between openness as sharing and openness as judicious connection in the context of open science. I use this as the basis of a framework which describes a cosmopolitical perspective on open education. The discussion considers this framework in relation to recent developments in the commons: notably generative artificial intelligence which challenges long established notions of copyright and commoning. I suggest that positioning openness as an active practice of resisting privatisation - rather than merely a commitment to transparency or accessibility - open education functions as a site of political contestation rather than passive inclusion in neoliberal economies of knowledge

“Branca para casar, mulata para f...”: retratos em contraste de mulheres brasileiras no imaginário escravista
Get PDFDans Maîtres et Esclaves, essai séminal sur les relations coloniales et esclavagistes au Brésil, Gilberto Freyre rapporte un dicton populaire qui énonce, outre les conventions sociales à propos de la supériorité de la femme blanche et l’infériorité de la femme noire, la préférence sexuelledes hommes au Brésil par la mulâtresse. Freyre revient sur les racines de ces préférences, conventions et pratiques sexuelles des hommes au Brésil. Dans cette équation de la femme brésilienne et de sa valeur perçue comme le résultat de sa capacité à susciter le désir masculin, on constate que les femmes blanches et noires ont leur sexualité niée au profit des fonctions « re-productives », la femme mulâtresse quant à elle est l’objet d’une hypersexualisation. La sexualité féminine brésilienne est décrite, représentée et analysée par des hommes qui la placent dans un axe du visible/invisible (images) en lien étroit entre le dicible/indicible (textes). Ces axes mettent en lumière le processus de colonisation et de domination des corps féminins. Cet article propose d’analyser la thématique de la représentation de la femme brésilienne à partir d’une analyse comparative de la culture visuelle et de deux œuvres de la littérature abolitionniste au Brésil. L’objectif est de cerner l’imaginaire esclavagiste en tant que dispositif du processus de domination et de colonisation des corps féminins.Em Casa Grande e Senzala (1933), uma das obras fundadoras da análise sobre as relações coloniais e escravistas no Brasil, Gilberto Freyre relata um ditado popular no qual ele afirma que além das convenções sociais sobre a superioridade da mulher branca e a inferioridade da mulher negra, a preferência sexual dos homens pelas mulatas é indiscutível. Freyre analisa as raízes dessas preferências, convenções e práticas sexuais dos homens no Brasil. Nesse estudo sobre a mulher brasileira e sobre seu valor, identificado na capacidade que ela tem de despertar o desejo masculino, as mulheres brancas e retintas têm suas sexualidades cerceadas por funções re-produtivas enquanto a mulher parda é objeto de uma hipersexualização. Partindo deste imaginário erótico, misógino e racista que marcou as interpretações do papel da mulher na sociedade colonial, este artigo propõe uma análise da cultura visual assim como o estudo de duas obras do abolicionismo literário do século XIX no Brasil. O erótico e a representação da sexualidade da mulher brasileira entre um jogo de espelhos no eixo do visível/invisível (imagens) em estreita relação com o dizível/indizível (textos) são analisados como um dispositivo do processo de colonização e de dominação dos corpos femininos no Brasil
