The body on scene : beyond the dual logic

Orientador: Alexandrina MonteiroTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de EducaçãoResumo: Ao problematizar as significações essencialistas do feminino e do masculino, colocamos o corpo na centralidade desta pesquisa através dos deslocamentos realizados por diversas práticas socioculturais. A busca por desconstruir a lógica dual que alicerça as práticas, instigou o adentramento pela mitologia, escola, academia, pensamento filosófico, ciência, matemática, literatura, dança, artes visuais, música, o que possibilitou observar que esta lógica, ao centrar na polaridade, hierarquiza os termos e provoca os efeitos perversos de exclusão, discriminação, intolerância e violência. Assim, é por meio dos movimentos da desconstrução, da inversão e do deslocamento que buscamos por uma lógica outra. Inverter a ordem, para que tudo o que foi suprimido, abafado, possa se sobrepor, e deslocar, para não se manter na mesma lógica da dualidade. Concomitante a esses movimentos, os indecidíveis propostos por Jacques Derrida, como unidades que resistem à oposição dos termos, produzem uma oscilação, um `entre¿ que os desorganiza e provoca movimentos inventivos de resistências, capazes de criar brechas, frestas na estrutura da metafísicaAbstract: When discussing the essentialist signification of the feminine and masculine, we place the body in the core of this research through the shifts caused by several sociocultural practices. The pursuit for deconstructing the dual logic that is the foundation of the practices has incited a dive into mythology, school, academia, philosophic thinking, science, mathematics, literature, dance, visual arts, and music; and this has made it possible to observe that such logic, when centered in the polarity, hierarchizes the terms and causes the perverse effects of exclusion, discrimination, intolerance and violence. Thus, through movements of deconstruction, inversion and shifting, we look for a different logic. Inverting the order, so that everything that has been suppressed, strangled, can overlay and shift, in order to change the logic of duality. Concomitantly to these movements, the undecidables proposed by Jacques Derrida, as units that resist the opposition of terms, cause an oscillation, a `between¿ that disorganizes them and leads to inventive movements of resistance able to create gaps, cracks in the metaphysic structureDoutoradoEducaçãoDoutora em Educaçã

Eficiência do nitrato no desempenho de nadadores da categoria master de endurance no município de São Paulo

Introdução: Tem sido demonstrado que a suplementação com nitrato traz benefícios durante exercícios de alta intensidade, como a natação, pois acarreta um aumento na potência, no tempo de exaustão e melhora no desempenho em exercícios contrarrelógio. Objetivo: O propósito deste estudo foi verificar a eficiência do nitrato no desempenho de nadadores da categoria máster de endurance no município de São Paulo. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 11 atletas, de ambos os gêneros, com idades entre 20 e 55 anos.  Os atletas foram submetidos a dois testes exaustivos, no primeiro dia ingerindo 500 ml de água, e no outro ingerindo 500 ml de suco de beterraba, ambos antes do treino. Foi avaliado o nível de desidratação e a percepção subjetiva de esforço (Escala de Borg). Resultados: Em relação à Escala de Borg, no teste ingerindo água, 36,3% dos atletas classificaram o treino como extremamente intenso, enquanto no teste com o suco de beterraba, 45,4% classificaram como intenso. No treino com a água, a média do percentual de perda de peso foi de 0,97% e a taxa de sudorese foi de 16,9 ml/min. Já com o suco de beterraba, a perda de peso foi levemente menor, de 0,93% e a taxa de sudorese de 15,6 ml/min. Conclusão: O consumo do suco de beterraba pode apresentar-se como uma alternativa positiva na discreta melhora da percepção do esforço em atletas de natação. ABSTRACTThe nitrate efficiency in the performance of the masters category in swimmers in Sao PauloIntroduction: It has been shown that nitrate supplementation is beneficial during high-intensity exercise, like in swimming, since it causes an increase in potency, in time of exhaustion and improved performance in exercises against the clock. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the nitrate efficiency in the performance of the masters category swimmers in Sao Paulo. Methods: The sample was composed of 11 athletes, of both genders, aged 20 to 55 years. The athletes were subject to two extensive testing, on the first day ingesting 500 ml of water and the other day ingesting 500 ml of beetroot juice, both before training. It was evaluated the level of dehydration and the subjective perception of effort (the Borg Scale). Results: In relation to the Borg Scale, the test ingesting water, 36.3% of the athletes rated the training as extremely intense, while test ingesting beetroot juice, 45.4% classified as intense. In training with water, the average weight loss percentage was 0.97% and the sweating rate was 16.9 ml / min. Already with beetroot juice, the weight loss was slightly lower, 0.93%, and the sweating rate was 15.6 ml / min. Conclusion: The consumption of beet juice can be presented as a positive alternative in the slight improvement of perceived exertion in swimming athletes

A desconstrução derridiana e o processo criativo de Pina Bausch

Para Jacques Derrida, o pensamento metafísico ocidental se encontra alicerçado em uma lógica dual cujos polos se contrapõem e se excluem. Sua filosofia, por meio da desconstrução, busca abalar as estruturas desse pensamento - denominado por ele - logocêntrico. Para tal intento, suas proposições nos remetem a movimentos constantes na busca por significações sempre proteladas no jogo das diferenças e trazem em seu bojo a experiência da alteridade. Pina Bausch, através de suas peças, ao expor continuamente o corpo com suas potências e vulnerabilidades ao outro, convida-nos a adentrar em um jogo das diferenças. Em sua linguagem cênica, o ‘outro’ se coloca como condição sine qua non nesse jogo de múltiplos significados que finda por produzir e afirmar diferenças. Este artigo busca possíveis atravessamentos entre o movimento da desconstrução do filósofo Jacques Derrida e o processo criativo da bailarina e coreógrafa Pina Bausch no ‘Wuppertal Tanztheater’, a desestabilização da dualidade ao desfazer a fixidez da essência e propiciar significações outras.Resumen alternativo:To Jacques Derrida, the western metaphysical thought is rooted in a dual logic whose poles are opposed and mutually exclusive. His philosophy through deconstruction seeks to shake the structures of this thought –named by him – logocentric. For this purpose, its propositions bring us to the constant movements in the search for meanings always delayed in the game of differences, and brings in its core the experience of otherness. Pina Bausch, through its spectacles, to continuously expose the body with its powers and vulnerabilities to the other, invites us to enter the game of differences. In its scenic language, the ‘other’ arises as a sine qua non in this game of multiple meanings that ended up producing and affirm differences. Thi sarticle aims to present a possible crossings between the movement of the deconstruction of the philosopher Jacques Derrida and the creative process of the dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch in ‘Tanztheater Wuppertal’, in the search for destabilization of duality to undo the fixity of the essence and provide other meanings.Resumen alternativo:Para Jacques Derrida, el pensamiento metafísico occidental tiene sus raíces en una lógica dual cuyos polos sono puestos y mutuamente excluyentes.

International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortiu (INICC) report, data summary of 43 countries for 2007-2012. Device-associated module

We report the results of an International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2007-December 2012 in 503 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. During the 6-year study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) U.S. National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care–associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 605,310 patients hospitalized in the INICC's ICUs for an aggregate of 3,338,396 days. Although device utilization in the INICC's ICUs was similar to that reported from ICUs in the U.S. in the CDC's NHSN, rates of device-associated nosocomial infection were higher in the ICUs of the INICC hospitals: the pooled rate of central line–associated bloodstream infection in the INICC's ICUs, 4.9 per 1,000 central line days, is nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.9 per 1,000 central line days reported from comparable U.S. ICUs. The overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher (16.8 vs 1.1 per 1,000 ventilator days) as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.5 vs 1.3 per 1,000 catheter days). Frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (42.8% vs 10%) and imipenem (42.4% vs 26.1%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (71.2% vs 28.8%) and imipenem (19.6% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC's ICUs compared with the ICUs of the CDC's NHSN

The PLATO Mission

International audiencePLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down to <2 R_(Earth)) around bright stars (<11 mag), including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. With the complement of radial velocity observations from the ground, planets will be characterised for their radius, mass, and age with high accuracy (5 %, 10 %, 10 % for an Earth-Sun combination respectively). PLATO will provide us with a large-scale catalogue of well-characterised small planets up to intermediate orbital periods, relevant for a meaningful comparison to planet formation theories and to better understand planet evolution. It will make possible comparative exoplanetology to place our Solar System planets in a broader context. In parallel, PLATO will study (host) stars using asteroseismology, allowing us to determine the stellar properties with high accuracy, substantially enhancing our knowledge of stellar structure and evolution. The payload instrument consists of 26 cameras with 12cm aperture each. For at least four years, the mission will perform high-precision photometric measurements. Here we review the science objectives, present PLATO's target samples and fields, provide an overview of expected core science performance as well as a description of the instrument and the mission profile at the beginning of the serial production of the flight cameras. PLATO is scheduled for a launch date end 2026. This overview therefore provides a summary of the mission to the community in preparation of the upcoming operational phases
