A rêverie como exercício espiritual em Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No full textREIS, Claudio A.. A rêverie como exercício espiritual em Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Argumentos Revista de Filosofia, Fortaleza, ano 4, n. 8, p. 150-161, jul./dez. 2012.This article proposes a reading of the Rêveries du promeneur solitaire using the concept of “spiritual exercise”, as it appears in some contemporary metaphilosophical discussions. We try to show how Rousseau at the same time gives continuity and breaks with an ancient tradition, recovering an old conception of philosophy from his readings, while at the same time transforming it.O artigo propõe uma leitura das Rêveries du promeneur solitaire a partir do conceito de “exercício espiritual”, tal como aparece em algumas discussões metafilosóficas contemporâneas. Tenta-se mostrar como Rousseau ao mesmo tempo dá continuidade e rompe com uma antiga tradição, resgatando de suas leituras uma concepção antiga de filosofia, ao mesmo tempo em que a transforma
Entrevista com Carlos Reis: de realismo e distopias
No full textCarlos Reis is a Full Professor at the University of Coimbra, owner of an “overwhelming” curriculum and, although he was noted as one of the great specialists in the work of Eça de Queirós, he was also the author of one of the reference studies on Portuguese neorealism - O discurso ideológico do Neo-Realismo português, from 1983 - which still serves as the basis for all research that has as its object of analysis the literature produced by a generation of authors who had in common “the cause of commitment and a new humanism” .Carlos Reis é Professor Catedrático da Universidade de Coimbra, dono de um curriculum “avassalador” e, embora se tenha notabilizado como um dos grandes especialistas na obra de Eça de Queirós, também foi autor de um dos estudos de referência sobre o neorrealismo português – O discurso ideológico do Neo-Realismo português, de 1983 – que ainda hoje serve de base para toda a pesquisa que tenha como objeto de análise a literatura produzida por uma geração de autores que tinham em comum “a causa do compromisso e de um novo humanismo”

REIS: Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatie-Systeem ter ondersteuning van de gemeentelijke energieplanning
No full textIn de scriptie wordt een deel van het onderzoek naar een Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatiesysteem (REIS) ter ondersteuning van de gemeentelijke energieplanning beschreven. Het betreft met name de informatie-, presentatie- en gegevensanalyse. Het REIS is reeds sinds 1983 onderwerp van onderzoek binnen de Stichting Studiecentrum voor Vastgoedinformatie (SSVI), doch dit onderzoek concentreert zich meer op een methodiek ten behoeve van de gemeentelijke energieplanning en de toepasbaarheid van het REIS binnen deze methodiek. In het afstudeeronderzoek staat het REIS zelf centraal, en er worden aspecten bij het onderzoek betrokken die in het SSVI-onderzoek niet aan de orde komen. Dit om de voorwaarden en uitgangspunten die ten behoeve van het REIS worden gedefinieerd een theoretische onderbouwing te geven. De theorie die bij het onderzoek wordt betrokken heeft zowel betrekking op de informatica, de informatievoorziening als de vastgoed. Deze vakgebieden komen in feite samen binnen de theorie met betrekking tot de vastgoedinformatiesystemen, een onderdeel van de geodesie. Het REIS dient gegevens te verstrekken op basis van energiekenmerken van vastgoedobjekten (geografische eenheden), hetgeen verklaart waarom het REIS onderwerp van studie is binnen de afdeling Geodesie. Het eerste deel (A) van het onderzoek betreft de energieproblematiek als zodanig en het tweede deel (B) het Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatiesysteem.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Alfabetização dos estudantes das classes populares em Angra dos Reis: Contribuições do IEAR/UFF na formação das professoras alfabetizadoras da região Costa Verde
No full textA presente pesquisa tem como objetivo ressaltar as contribuições do Instituto de Educação de Angra dos Reis da Universidade Federal Fluminense (IEAR/UFF), na formação das professoras alfabetizadoras da região Costa Verde, através da análise e estudo dos Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso das alunas da Pós-Graduação Lato Sensu em Alfabetização dos Estudantes das Classes Populares, realizada no IEAR/UFF. Enfatiza-se a importância da formação continuada, não só em relação à profissão docente como também na vida escolar dos estudantes, que a partir do empenho e da atuação diferenciada das professoras, passam a ter acesso a uma educação diferenciada e de qualidade nas escolas. Sendo assim, destacam-se nesta pesquisa os aspectos positivos que professoras alfabetizadoras críticas, na busca por melhoria na qualidade de ensino, podem trazer para a formação dos alunos das classes populares, assim como, a importância que a universidade pública representa não só na formação de professores e alunos, como da sociedade em geral, na formação de cidadãos críticos e reflexivosThe present research aims to highlight the contributions of the Institute of Education of Angra dos Reis, Universidade Federal Fluminense (IEAR / UFF), in the training of literacy teachers in the Costa Verde region, through the analysis and study of the Conclusion Works of the students of the Post-graduate Lato Sensu in Literacy of Students of the Popular Classes, held at IEAR / UFF. Emphasis is given to the importance of continuing education, not only in relation to the teaching profession but also in the students' school life, which, based on the commitment and the differentiated performance of the teachers, have access to a differentiated and quality education in schools. Thus, the research highlights the positive aspects that critical literacy teachers, in their search for improvement in the quality of teaching, can bring to the education of the students of the popular classes, as well as the importance that the public university represents not only in the formation of teachers and students, and of society in general, in the formation of critical and reflective citizen
Charles Reis Felix’s 1934
No full textAbstract. Reis Felix claims he has no imagination in order to justify the closeness between his fiction and his experienced life. When editing the Portuguese translation of his short novel, Da Gama, Cary Grant, and the Election of 1934, it became clear to me that Reis Felix is being endearingly but also unnecessarily modest. For two main reasons: 1) all fiction is autobiographical; 2) by giving form to his memory, Reis Felix accomplished a magnificent work of imagination. Mainly, where was he—the alter ego of the author—in the climatic cinema scene where a young woman faces the hardship of love whilst watching an (as far as I could verify, I’m still searching) inexistent Cary Grant movie
Rationale for Medium Cutoff Membranes in COVID-19 Patients Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy
No full textThe current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spotlighted the vulnerability of patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) to the viral infection. Social distancing is the most effective preventive measure to reduce the risk of infection. Nonetheless, the necessity to frequently reach the dialysis center and the inherent social gathering both impede social distancing and also self-quarantine for infected individuals. A baseline hyperinflammatory state driven by factors such as the retention of uremic toxins afflicts these patients. Concomitantly, a condition of relative immunosuppression is also attributed to similar factors. The use of high-flux (HF) dialyzers for HD is the standard of care. However, with HF membranes, the removal of large middle molecules is scant. Medium cutoff (MCO) dialyzers are a new class of membranes that allow substantial removal of large middle molecules with negligible albumin losses. Recent trials confirmed lo..
Management of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With COVID-19
No full textThe outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved into a global pandemic. Most patients with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but about 5% develop severe symptoms, which can include acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and multiple organ failure. Kidney involvement is frequent, with clinical presentation ranging from mild proteinuria to progressive acute kidney injury (AKI) necessitating renal replacement therapy (RRT). An understanding of the pathophysiology and mechanisms of kidney damage and AKI in the setting of critical illness and COVID-19 is emerging, although further research is needed to identify patients at risk of AKI and to guide management strategies. As no specific treatment options exist for AKI secondary to COVID-19, intensive care is largely supportive. Current approaches to prevention and management of AKI, and identification of potential indications for use of RRT and sequential extracorporeal therapies, are based mainly on clinical ex..
The Amazon of Arthur Reis
No full textIn the 1960s, it was launched the book A Amazônia e a cobiça internacional, authored by amazon Arthur César Ferreira Reis. In this book, the author denounced the imminent loss of the Amazon, which was under threat of being taken by foreign nations. This speech, that arrogated for itself the authority of the history with views to settle "in true" and, therefore, to have the necessary credibility, insofar as it was under serious denunciation, required a decision by the State, which, according to the author, should colonize / civilize / develop the Amazon in order to prevent its loss to other nations aware of the economic potential represented by the region. Arthur Reis' historiographic work, which deals predominantly with Amazonian issues, culminating in his political discourse of international greed, has earned him a captive place in national public life. Therefore, understanding the paths of this discourse and its links with the political context in which it was forged is the objective of this thesis, which, besides analyzing the political uses of the past that underpinned the historical representation of Arthur Reis, also proposed to investigate the representations built about the author in the Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas and in a set of printed newspapers from the country, predominantly from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.Tese (Doutorado)Na década de 1960, foi lançado o livro A Amazônia e a cobiça internacional, de autoria do amazonense Arthur Cezar Ferreira Reis. Neste, o autor denunciava a iminente perda da Amazônia, que estaria sob a ameaça de ser tomada por nações estrangeiras. Esse discurso, que arrogava para si a autoridade da história com vistas a se assentar “no verdadeiro” e, portanto, a se revestir da credibilidade necessária, na medida em que se fazia sob uma grave denúncia, exigia uma tomada de decisão por parte do Estado, que, segundo o autor, deveria colonizar/civilizar/desenvolver a Amazônia a fim de evitar a ação estrangeira na região. A obra historiográfica de Arthur Reis, que versa predominantemente sobre questões amazônicas, culminando com seu discurso político da cobiça internacional, rendeu-lhe um lugar cativo na vida pública nacional. Portanto, compreender os caminhos desse discurso e suas vinculações com o contexto político no qual foi forjado é o objetivo desta tese, que além de analisar os usos políticos do passado que deram base à representação histórica de Arthur Reis, propôs-se ainda a investigar as representações construídas acerca do autor no Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas e num conjunto de jornais impressos do país, predominantemente do Rio de Janeiro
