The Glue Factories of Casolla: Archaeology of the Structures of a Proto-Industrial Bioclimatic System

In the borough of Casolla, near Caserta, a large number of proto-industrial buildings still exist that were used for the production of animal glue between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The driers, an integral part of these structures, characterise the urban landscape, emerging with their long, high volumes from the mass of traditional buildings. The position and orientation of the driers of the glue factories (known as collére), as they can still be seen today, were chosen solely for the purpose of achieving a very specific natural regime for the internal microclimate, aimed at maximising air flow and speed in order to accelerate the glue drying process. These formal aspects have been preserved until today, despite the changes made by the owners in order to transform the old driers into modern houses. The glue factories of Casolla, with their driers, constitute a "unicum" from an architectural point of view. A partial and updated re-proposal of the ancient production processes would be unimaginable for conservative purposes, because of their harmfulness to human health and their negative impact on the surrounding environment. That is why their conservation may only take place through refunctionalisation, respecting the typological characteristics and material consistency of the old factories. This type of strategy would be particularly effective due to the specific characteristics of the driers, as it would allow these special characteristics of the cultural landscape of the Caserta area to be preserved

Teses sobre a educação municipal e o conselho municipal de educação no Brasil

The central issue of this article focuses on the debates surrounding the participation and mobilizing role of councils. The article presents the tensions present in the councils, originating from their systemic emptying of “traditional” functions, to an advance with regard to its political role of mobilization. To this end, we present the genesis of the councils followed by seven theses on the democratization perspective of the CME, presenting its consequent antitheses and indicating to the reader the task of reflecting on their respective syntheses. It is worth mentioning that the autonomy of councils and councilors is part of the democratic processes of the municipal organization of public education policies, that is, it is related to a collective project of a just and egalitarian society, which implies having access to material, social, cultural, economic and political goods.El tema central de este artículo se centra en los debates en torno a la participación y el papel movilizador de los consejos. El artículo presenta las tensiones presentes en los consejos, derivadas de su vaciado sistémico de las funciones "tradicionales", para avanzar con respecto a su papel político de movilización. Con este fin, presentamos la génesis de los consejos seguida de siete tesis sobre la perspectiva de democratización del WEC, presentando sus consecuentes antítesis e indicando al lector la tarea de reflexionar sobre sus respectivas síntesis. Vale la pena mencionar que la autonomía de los consejos y concejales es parte de los procesos democráticos de la organización municipal de políticas de educación pública, es decir, tiene relación con un proyecto colectivo de sociedad justa e igualitaria, lo que implica tener acceso a patrimonios materiales, sociales, culturales, económicas y políticas.A questão central deste artigo focaliza os debates que giram em torno da participação e papel mobilizador dos conselhos. O artigo apresenta os tensionamentos presentes nos conselhos, originários de seu esvaziamento sistêmico de funções “tradicionais”, para um avanço no que diz respeito ao seu papel político de mobilização; para tanto faz-se uma apresentação da gênese dos conselhos seguida por sete teses sobre a perspectiva de democratização do CME, apresentando suas consequentes antíteses e indicando ao leitor a tarefa de fazer uma reflexão quanto às respectivas sínteses. Vale dizer que a autonomia dos conselhos e dos conselheiros se insere no campo dos processos democráticos da organização municipal das políticas públicas de educação, ou seja, está relacionada a um projeto coletivo de sociedade justa e igualitária, o que implica ter acesso aos bens materiais, sociais, culturais, econômicos e políticos

Tenskinmetric Evaluation of Surface Energy Changes in Adult Skin: Evidence from 834 Normal Subjects Monitored in Controlled Conditions

To evaluate the influence of the skin aging critical level on the adult skin epidermal functional state, an improved analytical method based on the skin surface energetic measurement (TVS modeling) was developed. Tenskinmetric measurements were carried out non-invasively in controlled conditions by contact angle method using only a water-drop as reference standard liquid. Adult skin was monitored by TVS Observatory according to a specific and controlled thermal protocol (Camianta protocol) in use at the interconnected "Mamma Margherita Terme spa" of Terme Euganee. From June to November 2013, the surface free energy and the epidermal hydration level of adult skin were evaluated on arrival of 265 male and 569 female adult volunteers (51–90 years of age) and when they departed 2 weeks later. Sensitive measurements were carried out at 0.1 mN/m. High test compliance was obtained (93.2% of all guests). Very interesting results are obtained. The high sensitivity and discrimination power of tenskinmetry combined with a thermal Camianta protocol demonstrate the possibility to evaluate at baseline level the surface energetic changes and the skin reactivity which occurs on adult skin

ESTADO, ESCOLA E FAMÍLIA: SOBRE O DIREITO DE ESCOLHA

O texto trata do dever, do direito de escolha e da responsabilização sobre a educação, problematizando o papel da família e a função do Estado. Entende-se, no texto, que educar, para além da educação formal (relação de ensino-aprendizagem sobre os conhecimentos científicos), é a relação estabelecida entre valores, condutas e poder de escolha; o que se constitui em ação política. Isto passa pela relação entre a família, a escola e a sociedade. Esta relação resulta em um modelo de política educacional demandada pelo Estado, porém influenciada por um movimento determinante e determinado com base na organização social, das mobilizações e da centralização do Estado

Chiral sulfoxides in the enantioselective allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane: a kinetic study

The mechanism of the allylation of aldehydes in the presence of allyltrichlorosilane employing the commercially available (R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide as a Lewis base has been investigated. The combination of kinetic measurements, conductivity analysis and quantum chemical calculations indicates that the reaction proceeds through a dissociative pathway in which an octahedral cationic complex with two sulfoxides is involved. The lack of turnover is ascribed to the formation of neutral sulfurane derivatives

Morphometric analysis of collagen in placentomes of dairy cows with normal delivery and with placental retention

The goal of this study was to quantify, by morphometric method, the collagen of maternal and fetal portions of dairy cows placentomes with normal delivery and with placental retention. Twelve cows were used and a placentome was obtained from each one soon after fetal expulsion. Eight cows showed normal placental delivery (Group 1) and four cows showed placental retention (Group 2). From each placentome a fragment was obtained, histologically processed and stained by Masson’s Trichromic. Volumetric proportions of maternal and fetal collagen were determined with a 25 point ocular (Zeiss K PL ocular 10xwith 25 points). There was no significant difference between groups (p>0.05) in volumetric proportion of maternal collagen (34.57 ± 5.47 and 32.04 ± 5.82, respectively) and in volumetric proportion of fetal collagen (9.85 ± 2,04 and 10.73 ± 2.47, respectively).O objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar, através de método morfométrico, o colágeno da porção fetal e da porção materna do placentoma de vacas leiteiras com liberação normal e com retenção de placenta. Foram utilizadas 12 vacas, das quais foi colhido um placentoma, imediatamente após a expulsão fetal, sendo que oito apresentaram liberação normal da placenta e constituíram o Grupo 1 e quatro apresentaram retenção e constituíram o Grupo 2. De cada placentoma foi obtido um fragmento que foi processado histologicamente. As lâminas foram coradas pelo Tricrômico de Masson. As proporções volumétricas do colágeno materno e do colágeno fetal foram determinadas com o auxílio de uma ocular integradora (Ocular integradora Zeiss KPL 10x com 25 pontos). Não houve diferença significativa entre grupos 1 e 2 (p>0,05), tanto na proporção volumétrica do colágeno materno (34,57 ± 5,47 e 32,04 ± 5,82, respectivamente) quanto na proporção volumétrica do colágeno fetal (9.85 ± 2,04 e 10,73 ± 2,47, respectivamente)
