    Padre Daniel Pedro Marques de Oliveira: racialização e conflito na Província do Amazonas – 1850 -1889

    No full text
    O presente artigo pretende abordar questões referentes ao processo de racialização em torno do personagem do padre “pardo” Daniel Pedro Marques de Oliveira, que durante a década de 1870 foi deputado Provincial no Amazonas. Fato este que não o livrou do preconceito arraigado contra os ex-escravos e libertos, em uma sociedade marcada por hierarquias sociais.This article intends to address issues relating to the process of racialization around the character of the priest Daniel Pedro Marques de Oliveira, that during the decade of 1870 was Provincial Deputy in the Amazon, not the rid of deep-rooted prejudice against the former slaves and free blacks in a society marked by social hierarchies

    O presente artigo intitulado A trajetória do padre pardo Daniel Pedro Marques de Oliveira: a escravidão nos periódicos da província do Amazonas (1860-1870) tem como enfoque central a trajetória política de um ex-escravo padre Daniel, tipificado como pardo livre que foi entre as décadas de 1860-1870 personagem de significativa relevância no cenário político da sociedade amazonense do oitocentos. Utilizamos como aporte teórico as discussões em torno do uso de periódicos enquanto fonte polissêmica, ressaltando o caráter complexo que tais fontes podem apresentar. O artigo encontra-se dividido em duas partes: a primeira de maneira sumária tratando do nascimento do periodismo do Amazonas a segunda parte analisa a trajetória política do padre pardo (liberto) Daniel Pedro Marques de Oliveira a partir de fontes oficiais de jornais da Província do Amazonas.</jats:p

    The trombone as portrayed in Portuguese iconography during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries

    No full text
    This article studies eleven sixteenth and seventeenth century iconographical sources depicting slide brass instruments, by both Portuguese and foreign artists active in Portugal, as well as foreign artists depicting Portuguese scenes. This study addresses questions concerning aspects of trombone technique that have not previously been considered and may have implications in the way the trombone was understood elsewhere in Europe. It focuses on aspects of technique depicted that may be representative of the trombone’s contemporary design and performance and therefore the manner in which the instrument was held and indeed played. Finally, this article suggests a transitional technical period when the way of holding the single-slide trumpet may have been used to play the trombone.Publisher PD

    Project Point Pedro: A multidisciplinary design study of the Point Pedro fishery harbour

    No full text
    In Sri Lanka, the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam waged a civil war between 1983 and 2009. During this period the social and economic development in the north and east of the country was disrupted. Due to this disruption a development opportunity for this region is the expansion of the fishery industry. In 2016, the Sri Lankan government proposed the Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development Project, in which the construction of a harbour at Point Pedro in the Jaffna District is included. This harbour should become the second largest fishery harbour in Sri Lanka.This report covers the design study of the Point Pedro harbour project, the goal of this study is to design a safe, economically efficient and socially accepted harbour at Point Pedro. To achieve this goal, the following research question “How can safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact be combined optimally in a harbour design for Point Pedro in the Jaffna District?” is answered.In figure XX, the final design of the harbour can be seen. This design is focused on the optimal combination between safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact. Because these criteria are conflicting, they are prioritized as follows: (1) safety, (2) economic efficiency and (3) environmental impact. Safety is provided by constructing breakwaters around the harbour, providing sheltered water conditions in the harbour basin. Also, the harbour entrance is constructed in a way that monsoon waves cannot directly intrude into the basin. Economic efficiency is accounted for by constructing the quay wall close to the central located fish processing facilities. This optimizes the supply chain, resulting in a smaller loss in the fish production (compared to the current situation). The costs are optimized by reusing all dredged material inside the breakwater or for land reclamation. Additionally, the location of the harbour entrance is minimizing the sailing routes as much as possible, without creating safety issues due to wave intrusion. Finally, the negative effects of social impact are limited by involving local fishermen and residents during the entire development process. Because these stakeholders are potential blockers of the project, it is important to include their opinions in the design. This can also be done by broadening the scope, in which touristic facilities and accommodations can be included in the project. Other negative impacts of the harbour can be either mitigated or minimized. However, because the environmental impact is determined as the least important criteria, it is not able to solve every issue. This design is considered to be the most optimal combination for the harbour design of Point Pedro, regarding the criteria of safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact. It is recommended to EML Consultants that three characteristics of the proposed design should be implemented in their final design for Point Pedro: (1) apply building on the reef for land reclamation inside the harbour, (2) cluster the fish processing facilities near the unloading quay walls, because it optimizes the fish supply chain and reduces fish loss, and (3) construct the jetties for large boats (in the east of the harbour) as proposed, because it optimizes manoeuverability inside the harbour using minimal space. The final recommendation is to perform additional research to make a more accurate design, as the main limitation of the report is the limited amount of available data. Additional research should be done in the fields of; wave data, ground conditions over the entire harbour basin, cost estimation and sedimentation. This report is made on behalf of EML Consultants in Colombo, Sri Lanka.MDP 236Project Point PedroThe Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development ProjectMultidisciplinary Projec

    PEDAGOGUES AND TAES AT COLÉGIO PEDRO II - Historical and Identitarian Notes.

    No full text
    The article aims at relating the process of development of a professional identity among pedagogues in Brazil, the historical path of Pedagogy as a course, the educational legislation in Brazil and Colégio Pedro II. Colégio Pedro II is an educational institution of excellence, whose history, of national importance, has dealt very little with working relationships outside the classroom. For this reason, the objective of this study is to promote discussions which, regarding professional identities, take into consideration not only the subject, but also the group to which they belong. In terms of theoretical support, the author relies on the sociological approach discussed by Dubar (2005) and the analysis of the history of pedagogy courses carried out by Silva (2006). In addition, other relevant instances are public selection notices for admission to Colégio Pedro II from 1946 to 2015, academic studies upon the theme and responses from entities and professionals in the field of Education upon the pedagogy course programmes. The author takes into account that identities of both the pedagogue and the educational matters technician (TAE) are entangled at institutional level, which shows that the institution is still unsure of what to require and demand from both professionals. Although these educational matters professionals have licentiate degrees in other areas, it is still expected at institutional level that they act as specialists in education (pedagogue)
