Casa e transmissão hereditária na terra da Maia
No full textNeste artigo o autor analisa, para a Terra da Maia, a importância material e simbólica da casa de habitação, especialmente daquela relacionada com os meios de produção agrícola. A propriedade agrícola, outrora meio essencial de sobrevivência de uma larga população da região geográfica visada no artigo, incluía a casa de habitação familiar
que se tornava, dessa forma, local físico e simbólico de relevo. As estratégias de herança e de matrimónio são também objecto de análise, concluindo o autor com algumas reflexões sobre a evolução cronológica
das últimas décadas.

Eça de Queiroz e as três Marias Maia
No full textBased on the reading of Os Maias (1888), a novel by Eça de Queiroz (1845-1900), this essay proposes an analysis of the female characters of the Maia family — Maria Runa, Maria Monforte and Maria Eduarda — seeking to observe how they were constructed to serve the model of denunciation of the Lisbon society of the 19th century XIX, the author is one of the main representative author of these Portuguese realist’s ideological proposals. Queiroz attributes to his Marias the entire tragic end of the Maia family, from their moral judgment driven by the traditional and patriarchal Lusitanian society of the time. For reflection, we bring the considerations of Barreiros (1992), Reis (2005), Moisés (2002) and Brait (1985).Com base na leitura do romance Os Maias (1888), de Eça de Queiroz (1845-1900), este ensaio propõe uma análise das personagens femininas da família Maia — Maria Runa, Maria Monforte e Maria Eduarda —, buscando observar como elas foram construídas para servir ao modelo de denúncia à sociedade de Lisboa do séc. XIX, em consonância com as propostas ideológicas da corrente realista, da qual o autor é um dos principais representantes. Queiroz atribui às suas Marias o fim trágico da família Maia, a partir do seu julgamento moral influenciado pela sociedade tradicional e patriarcal lusitana da época. Para a reflexão, trazemos as considerações de Barreiros (1992), Reis (2005), Moisés (2002) e Brait (1985)
Economic Contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport
No full textIn 2016, the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service group (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University prepared the second Economic Impact Report of the Trenton Mercer Airport (commissioned by Mercer County’s Office of Economic Development and Sustainability). It follows and expands upon a preceding study conducted for Mercer County’s Division of Economic Development in November 2006.
This study analyzes the contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) to the Mercer County economy using the following direct sources of economic activity:
•Airport operating expenditures: These mainly account for the people employed to administer and operate the Airport. Operating expenditures also create jobs supported by the purchasing of supplies and materials, as well as spending on contractual services and utilities.
•Capital investments: These are made to improve the Airport’s facilities and support local jobs. Note that capital investments are not perpetual, thus their economic impacts only occur when improvement projects take place.
•Tenant expenditures: The sum of all the spending incurred by airport tenants to operate their respective businesses. This formula only includes tenants that provide aviation services or provide goods and services to airport users.
•Visitor expenditures: These account for the in-county spending by visitors arriving at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Visitor spending not only supports airport jobs, but also retail and tourism-related employment.
By applying the R/ECON™ Input-Output model to the direct sources of airport-related spending listed above, we estimate the total economic impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) for Mercer County. The model expresses the resulting jobs, income, and wealth impacts in various levels of industry detail.
The current study is designed to inform operation strategies and establish a common base of knowledge from which long-range plans and initiatives can be developed. Additionally, this report includes a thorough property value analysis, which examines the extent to which proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport is correlated with the value of area properties
A estética violenta das narrativas Ana Paula Maia
No full textThis article aims to assess the aspects that involve realism and violence in the work of Rio de Janeiro writer Ana Paula Maia. We understand, from the reviews and analyzes made on Maia’s work, that violence is constructed by the author as an aesthetic component in her texts, and that it takes place through realistic aesthetics. Thus, throughout the text we propose correct readings of the theories of the representation of the real and violence in dialogue with Maia’s work, so that we can investigate and prove that the violence silenced by the real is part of an aesthetic project by the Rio de Janeiro author.Este artigo tem como objetivo uma apreciação dos aspectos que envolver o realismo e a violência na obra da escritora carioca Ana Paula Maia. Compreendemos, a partir das revisões e análises feitas sobre a obra de Maia que a violência é construída pela autora como um componente estético em seus textos, e que se realiza por meio da estética realista. Assim, ao longo do texto propomos leituras acerta das teorias da representação do real e da violência em diálogo com a obra de Maia, para que possamos averiguar e comprovar que a violência calada pelo real faz parte de um projeto estético da autora carioca
CELL CLASSES AND TYPES WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL DURING SKIN REGENERATION
No full textThe Skin has the natural ability to heal and replace damaged and dead cells regulated by a network of complex immune processes. This ability is conferred by the population of resident immune cells that act in coordination with other players to provide a homeostatic environment under constant challenge. In this article we conclude that near future discoveries using such innovative strategies will not only help us achieve better therapeutic products for skin-related immune disorders but will also foster ideas toward novel cosmetic formulations and topical applications for improving skin’s regenerative potential
Obra de Circe Maia: poesía y vivencia radical del tiempo
No full textThis article examines the work of the Uruguayan poet Circe Maia (Montevideo, 1932), focusing on the central theme of temporality in her poetry. The aforementioned temporality is conceived not only as a thematic construction –a differential and continuous feature of her creation– but as an embodied part of an experience from which she constructs and enunciates a subjectivity. Emerging at the end of the 50s, Maia’s poetry develops different lyrical accents and the social consciousness of the 1960s and 1970s. Influenced by the drama of time, every day life, domesticity, colloquial imprint and social commitment, Maia’s work also engages with the philosophical ideas of Bergson, Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty were a substantive fact. Maia, author of a major work of Latin American letters, rather than adopting a philosophical lexicon, Maia employs the language of poetry to explore these concepts and the intricate search for the past and memory. El presente artículo propone un estudio de la obra de la poeta uruguaya Circe Maia (Montevideo, 1932), constituyendo como eje central la vivencia poética de la temporalidad. Se concibe a la misma no solo como construcción temática –rasgo diferencial y continuo de su creación–, sino como parte encarnada de una experiencia desde la que construye y enuncia una subjetividad. Surgida a fines de los años 50, su producción desarrolla distintos acentos líricos y de la conciencia de las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Atravesados por el dramatismo del tiempo, la mundanidad, lo doméstico, la impronta coloquial y el compromiso social, la inquietud filosófica bergsoniana y la fenomenología de Husserl y Merleau-Ponty fueron un hecho sustantivo. Maia, autora de una obra mayor de las letras latinoamericanas, rehuyó al léxico filosófico para ocupar con un lenguaje de poesía el espacio de esas categorías y la compleja búsqueda del pasado y la memoria.
