Brazilian intelligence at the turning point of 1920/30: encounters and disencounters between writers and educators

A ausência de um maior número de estudos acadêmicos que explorem a relação entre Literatura e Educação constitui uma das motivações propositivas deste texto; isto porque, afora as metodologias de ensino da literatura, não se tem muita coisa aproximando pedagogos e literatos. Assim, Literatura e Educação serão consideradas pela visão alargada da História, refletindo sobre os problemas referentes ao pensamento educacional brasileiro e contribuindo para a compreensão crítica das idéias que influíram sobre a nossa cultura. Com relação aos personagens desta narrativa, o estudo estará centrado em dois dos mais expressivos intelectuais da época: Fernando de Azevedo e Mário de Andrade, cuja importância para a educação e a literaturas nacionais dispensa maiores apresentações. Quanto ao período enfocado, conhecido em nossa história como virada dos anos de 1920 e 1930, a opção é justificada por se constituir numa espécie de incubadora das idéias germinais da intelligentsia do país, como se procurará evidenciar ao longo da exposição.The absence of a larger number of academic studies which explore the relationship between Literature and Education constitutes one of the motivations for proposing this text; this, because besides the methodologies for teaching literature, there is not very much that brings pedagogues and men of letters together. Thus, Literature and Education will be considered through the broad vision of History, reflecting on the problems which refer to Brazilian educational thought and contributing to the critical understanding of the ideas that influenced our culture. In relation to the characters in this narrative, the study will be centred on two of the most expressive intellectuals of the period: Fernando de Azevedo and Mário de Andrade, whose importance for education and national literature makes further presentation unnecessary. As to the period being focused on, known in our history as the turning point of the years 1920 and 1930, the option is justified as it constitutes the type of incubator for the germinal ideas of the intelligentsia of the country, as will be seen throughout the exposition

Mortality of Patients Infected by COVID-19 with and without Deep-Vein Thrombosis

Background: Current evidence points to a state of hypercoagulability (consequence of hyperinflammation) as an important pathogenic mechanism that contributes to the increase in mortality in cases of COVID-19. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of deep-vein thrombosis on mortality patient’s infected with SARS-CoV-2. Method: A clinical trial was conducted involving 200 consecutive patients with COVID-19—100 patients who were positive for deep-vein thrombosis (venous Doppler ultrasound) and 100 who were negative for deep-vein thrombosis at a public hospital. Results: The mortality rate was 67% in the group positive for DVT and 31% in the group negative for DVT. Conclusion: Deep-vein thrombosis is associated with an increase in mortality in patients with COVID-19 and failures can occur with conventional prophylaxis for deep-vein thrombosis
