Some thoughts about the Racionais MC’s discography through rancière’s concepts: : rap as stultification or as emancipation?

O presente artigo busca fazer uso de conceitos presentes na produção intelectual do filósofo francês Jacques Rancière para pensar a obra fonográfica do popular grupo de rap paulistano conhecido como Racionais MC’s. Especialmente no que diz respeito à distinção elaborada pelo pensador entre uma lógica pedagógica embrutecedora e uma outra lógica pedagógica que seria emancipatória, sendo essa diferenciação também válida para se analisar práticas e produções artísticas. Propõe-se aqui que ao longo de sua trajetória, os rappers citados se aproximaram tanto de uma lógica quanto de outra, sendo oportuno identificar essas relações assim como apontar suas respectivas potencialidades e limitações.This paper aims to use concepts from the intellectual production of the french philosopher Jacques Rancière to think about Racionais MC’s phographic work, a notorious rap group from São Paulo. Especially regarding the distinction built by the thinker between a stultifying pedagogical logic and an emancipatory one, which is also useful to analyze artistics practices and productions. It is proposed in this article that throughout their musical trajectory, the rappers mentioned  approached both one logic and another, being of interest to identify these relationships as well as to point out their potentialities and limitations.O presente artigo busca fazer uso de conceitos presentes na produção intelectual do filósofo francês Jacques Rancière para pensar a obra fonográfica do popular grupo de rap paulistano conhecido como Racionais MC’s.

Hematoma Enlargement Among Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: Analysis of a Prospective Multicenter Clinical Trial

Observational studies suggest that hematomas continue to enlarge during hospitalization in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). There is limited data regarding factors associated with hematoma enlargement and on whether hematoma enlargement contributes directly to death and disability in patients with TBI. We analyzed data collected as part of the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Hypertonic Saline and TBI Study. Hematoma enlargement was ascertained and collected as a predefined safety endpoint. We evaluated the effect of hematoma enlargement on the risk of death and disability at 6 months based on the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) (dichotomized as \u3e4 or ≤4) using stepwise logistic regression analysis. We adjusted for age (continuous variable), admission GCS score (dichotomized at \u3e5 and ≤5), and computed tomography (CT) scan classification (Marshall grades entered as a categorical variable). Of the 1200 patients with severe TBI analyzed, 238 (19.8%) patients were reported to have hematoma enlargement as an adverse event. The proportion of patients who reached favorable outcome at 6 months was significantly lower (defined by GOSE of \u3e4) among patients with hematoma enlargement (29.0% vs. 40.1%, p\u3c.0001). The proportion of patients who died within 6 months was significantly higher among patients with hematoma enlargement (31.9% vs. 20.7%, p\u3c.0001). After adjusting for age, admission GCS score, and initial injury score, the odds of favorable outcome was lower in patients with hematoma enlargement (odds ratio 0.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.5–0.97). Our results suggest that hematoma enlargement may be a direct contributor to death and disability in patients with TBI at 6 months. Future clinical trials must continue to evaluate new therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing hematoma enlargement with a favorable risk benefit ratio in patients with TBI

Microangiopathic Occlusion of a Perforating Prepontine Long Circumferential Artery Presenting with Lower Motor Neuron Facial Weakness: Clinical and Radiological Correlation

Case Description: A 79-year old male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome associated with severe neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia was admitted for pneumonia secondary to influenza A. Two weeks later he presented with new symptoms of acute dysarthria, and left facial weakness involving his upper and lower face; the following day he developed left arm weakness. Admission computed tomography (CT) and MRI scans revealed an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the right posterior frontal cortex. The initial MRI was reported negative for pontine lesions. Anatomically, the cortical infarct could not explain his left lower motor neuron cranial nerve VII (LMN CN VII) facial weakness distribution because in a cortical lesion the upper half of the face would be expected spared due to contralateral cortical innervation. Upon review of the MRI, the initial hyperintensity seen on Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) was overlooked and later identified as an acute stroke in the vicinity of the perforating prepontine long circumferential artery affecting the CN VII nucleus. Conclusion: In the absence of earache, active infection, and/or inflammation, a sudden onset facial palsy, lower motor neuron distribution, must poin

Identidade e Ensino da Filosofia: correspondências e problematizações

This article is made up from Alejandro Cerletti’s thesis present in his work The teaching of philosophy as a philosophical problem: the questioning about what is philosophy and what is its teaching maintain close relationship. Result of an exercise proposed in the discipline Philosophy of Teaching of Philosophy from the Federal University of ABC, the text aims to present different essay about correlations between what is philosophy and what would be the teaching of philosophy in these different perspectives, questioning them.O presente artigo constitui-se a partir da seguinte tese defendida por Alejandro Cerletti na obra O ensino de filosofia como problema filosófico: os questionamentos sobre o que é filosofia e o que significa ensiná-la mantêm estreita relação, enlaçando aspectos cruciais da atividade filosófica. Fruto de um exercício proposto na disciplina Filosofia do Ensino de Filosofia do Curso de Licenciatura em Filosofia da Universidade Federal do ABC, o texto tem como objetivo apresentar diferentes ensaios sobre as correlações entre o que é filosofia e o que seria o ensino de filosofia nessas distintas perspectivas, problematizando-as
