La eco-teología de la creación de Leonardo Boff
No full textThis reviews examines texts from Boff in which the author makes explicit references to the theme of creation from the perspective of an eco-theology. The purpose is to show the breadth and novelty of Boff‘s reflection and, at the same time, orient those who wish to read the mentioned texts with detention and greater depth. In that sense, the article can offer a modest contribution to the formation of pastoral agents, especially, for those who do not have easy access to these books. Finally, we hope this work serves as an introduction to the theological reflection of Leonardo Boff on creation, and as an incentive to renew our commitment to transforming the world from an ecological perspective.Este artículo se presenta como una reseña de aquellos textos de Boff en los que el autor hace una referencia explícita a la temática de la creación desde la perspectiva de una ecoteología. La finalidad es mostrar la amplitud y la novedad de la reflexión realizada por Boff y, a la vez, ofrecer una guía para quienes quisieran hacer una lectura detenida y profunda de alguno de los textos reseñados. En ese sentido, se propone también como una modesta contribución para la formación de agentes pastorales, sobre todo, para quiénes el acceso a los libros no es cosa fácil. Finalmente, esperamos que este trabajo sirva como una introducción a la reflexión teológica sobre la creación en Leonardo Boff, y como estímulo para renovar nuestro compromiso por la transformación del mundo desde una perspectiva ecológica
Effects of dynamised high dilutions and vegetal extract based on silicon on the growth and induction of resistance in tomato plants against Rhizoctonia solani
No full textThe objective of this study was to study the response of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) against Rhizoctonia solani using dynamised high dilutions and plant extract based on silicon. The treatments were Silicea terra (ST), Thuya occidentalis (TO), and Equisetum arvense (EA) at 30CH (Centesimal Hahnemannian dilution order), Equisetum arvense leaf extract (LE), and non-dynamised water as the control. Seeds of tomato cv Marmande were treated overnight. The in vitro bioassays involved assessment of R. solani mycelial growth, seed germination, and seedling development. In the greenhouse experiment, the emergence, root and aerial part development, and disease development were evaluated. Leaves were harvested to analyse concentrations of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and chitinase activity. In the in vitro bioassay, LE reduced mycelial growth and TO increased the seedling vigour index, dry weight, and length of seedlings. In the greenhouse experiment, TO and ST increased plant emergence. Tomato plants treated with ST improved the fresh weight and the length of the roots. The disease severity was decreased by ST, LE, and TO. The flavonoid concentration was higher in plants treated with TO and LE. Overall, the treatments of TO, EA, and ST improved the content of phenolic compounds. Moreover, endochitinase and chitobiosidase were activated by LE
A globalização e o novo paradigma civlizacional: a perspetiva de Leonardo Boff
No full textEsta dissertação de mestrado tem como título “A Globalização e o novo paradigma civilizacional: a perspetiva de Leonardo Boff”. Com este estudo pretende analisar-se de que forma este fenómeno denominado globalização tem contribuído para as mudanças exponenciais que ocorrem no mundo atual, e que envolvem todas as esferas da vida económica, social, política, ambiental e cultural.
A importância de que se reveste este fenómeno e o impacto que tem tido nas últimas décadas obriga a sociedade, em geral, a procurar um novo paradigma civilizacional que seja conforme aos novos desafios entretanto surgidos.
A escolha do autor estudado para este trabalho recaiu no filósofo brasileiro Leonardo Boff, que propõe a criação de um ethos mundial que enfrente os problemas provocados pela globalização vigente. A sua proposta de ética da globalização está centrada principalmente na ética do cuidado, na defesa de todas as formas de vida, sobretudo a defesa da Mãe Terra (Gaia) e do seu ecossistema, e ainda a defesa dos mais pobres.
Dada a natureza teórica deste trabalho, a metodologia utilizada remete para a consulta e análise de fontes documentais, nomeadamente livros e artigos relevantes para o estudo desta temática; GLOBALIZATION AND THE NEW CIVILIZATION PARADIGM: THE PROSPECT OF LEONARDO BOFF
ABSTRACT:
This dissertation is entitled "Globalization and the new civilization paradigm: the prospect of Leonardo Boff." With this study we aim to examine how this phenomenon, called globalization, has contributed to the exponential changes taking place in today's world, which involves all spheres of economic, social, political, environmental and cultural.
The importance of this phenomenon and its impact in recent decades forces society, in general, to challenge a new civilization paradigm that according to these new challenges arisin
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
