    THE PRESENT article is an historical and contextualized communicational analisis on the Zapatista National Liberation Army - EZLN, that came to light the first time on january,1994, in the mexican southern state of Chiapas, with its indigenous origin, ancient struggles of the marginalized population, its own culture and political praxis that made it a very particular social movement in the context of Latin America. The polictical and communication strategies of the EZLN are important changes when we compare it to other guerrilla movements. We also analize the hability and creativity the zapatistas have to obtain media coverage and to create an eficient solidarity and communication net, mixing traditions of the indigenous communities with advanced technological resources of electronic media like the Internet and the Web. This creative combination of succesful polictical actions, social support, permanent dialogue with the civil society - nationwide and worldwide - and important winnings in the communication struggle, make compensation to the militar fragility of the EZLN and make posible its surviving, even on a very military adverse context, as is the conflict in Chiapas.ESTE ARTIGO faz uma apanhado histórico contextualizado e uma análise comunicacional sobre o Exército Zapatista de Libertação Nacional - EZLN, que apareceu publicamente no estado mexicano de Chiapas em janeiro de 1994, a partir de sua origem indígena, com as demandas seculares dessa parcela da população marginalizada, suas peculiaridades e sua prática política, que o fazem um grupo armado bastante original dentro do contexto das lutas populares na América Latina. As estratégias políticas e de comunicação do EZLN são diferenciais importantes em relação a outras experiências guerrilheiras anteriores. Assim, analisamos também a habilidade que os zapatistas tiveram - e ainda têm - para conquistar espaço nos meios de comunicação convencionais e criar uma eficiente rede de solidariedade e comunicação, combinando as tradições seculares das comunidades indígenas, que são suas bases, aos recursos tecnológicos de meios eletrônicos como a Internet e a Web. Esta combinação criativa de iniciativas políticas bem-sucedidas, bases sociais resistentes, diálogo permanente com a chamada sociedade civil - nacional e internacional - e vitórias importantes no campo da comunicação, compensam a fragilidade militar do EZLN e possibilitam sua continuidade, mesmo no contexto militar bastante adverso em que se situa o conflito chiapaneco

    Azimuthal anisotropy of charged jet production in root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions

    We present measurements of the azimuthal dependence of charged jet production in central and semi-central root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions with respect to the second harmonic event plane, quantified as nu(ch)(2) (jet). Jet finding is performed employing the anti-k(T) algorithm with a resolution parameter R = 0.2 using charged tracks from the ALICE tracking system. The contribution of the azimuthal anisotropy of the underlying event is taken into account event-by-event. The remaining (statistical) region-to-region fluctuations are removed on an ensemble basis by unfolding the jet spectra for different event plane orientations independently. Significant non-zero nu(ch)(2) (jet) is observed in semi-central collisions (30-50% centrality) for 20 <p(T)(ch) (jet) <90 GeV/c. The azimuthal dependence of the charged jet production is similar to the dependence observed for jets comprising both charged and neutral fragments, and compatible with measurements of the nu(2) of single charged particles at high p(T). Good agreement between the data and predictions from JEWEL, an event generator simulating parton shower evolution in the presence of a dense QCD medium, is found in semi-central collisions.

    Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC

    Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

    Pseudorapidity and transverse-momentum distributions of charged particles in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    The pseudorapidity (eta) and transverse-momentum (p(T)) distributions of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions are measured at the centre-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV. The pseudorapidity distribution in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1.8 is reported for inelastic events and for events with at least one charged particle in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1. The pseudorapidity density of charged particles produced in the pseudorapidity region vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.5 is 5.31 +/- 0.18 and 6.46 +/- 0.19 for the two event classes, respectively. The transverse-momentum distribution of charged particles is measured in the range 0.15 <p(T) <20 GeV/c and vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.8 for events with at least one charged particle in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1. The evolution of the transverse momentum spectra of charged particles is also investigated as a function of event multiplicity. The results are compared with calculations from PYTHIA and EPOS Monte Carlo generators. (C) 2015 CERN for the benefit of the ALICE Collaboration. Published by Elsevier B.V.

    Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76TeV

    The elliptic flow, v(2), of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity (2.5 <y <4) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)= 2.76TeVwith the ALICE detector at the LHC. The scalar product, two- and four-particle Q cumulants and Lee-Yang zeros methods are used. The dependence of the v(2) of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays on the collision centrality, in the range 0-40%, and on transverse momentum, p(T), is studied in the interval 3 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. A positive v(2) is observed with the scalar product and two-particle Q cumulants in semi-central collisions (10-20% and 20-40% centrality classes) for the p(T) interval from 3 to about 5GeV/c with a significance larger than 3 sigma, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties. The v(2) magnitude tends to decrease towards more central collisions and with increasing pT. It becomes compatible with zero in the interval 6 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. The results are compared to models describing the interaction of heavy quarks and open heavy-flavour hadrons with the high-density medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
