Jürgen Habermas: religião, diversidade cultural e publicidade

Este trabalho pretende recuperar o modo particular como Jürgen Habermas enfrenta, a partir dos conceitos de publicidade, legitimidade e agir comunicativo, alguns desafios que, em nosso entender, interessam particularmente o pensamento antropológico contemporâneo: o problema da tradução cultural ou da irredutibilidade das diferenças e o problema do lugar da religião no espaço público.The aim of this essay is to take a reflexive view of the particular way Jürgen Habermas faces some theorethical challenges that, from my point of view, are particulary interesting to anthropological contemporary thought: the cultural translation problem and the presence of religion on the public space

Colonial Organization of Mine Labour in Charcas 1 (Present-Day Bolivia) and Its Consequences 2 (Sixteenth to the Seventeenth Centuries)

This article analyses the changes in the organization of labour during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in colonial Charcas, present-day Bolivia, focusing on the role that different colonial authorities played in this process and its consequences. The Spanish took advantage of the pre-Hispanic organization of labour from the beginning of their conquest. However, in a colonial context, labour relations changed significantly, and the architect of those alterations was Viceroy Francisco de Toledo. We examine the transformations in mine labour carried out by the Spanish colonial polity; these had a significant effect not only on mining, but also on all labour relations in the southern colonial Andes.Fil: Gil Montero, Raquel.

Defending the aesthetic: the conservation of an artist’s book

Modern and contemporary books, easily replaceable in the internet age, are weeded from collections and disposed of because of their poor quality materials and construction. For an art library, where obsolescence is rarely an issue, the 20th- and 21st-century book can be a problem. Rare and seminal works in our collections are crumbling because they are acidic or perhaps they just cannot withstand the handling (and photocopying). We have become alert to the conservation of books from the hand-press period, but do not always know what to do with recent publications, or we cannot afford to undertake the measures necessary. As the artist’s book as an art form reaches its 50th birthday, we highlight the conservation of one such volume, in hopes of opening up discussion about the care of our contemporary treasures

The "TORONTO PROSTHESIS", an appealing method for restoring patients candidates for hybrid overdentures: a case report

The implant is a therapeutic resource in constant evolution, and the different types of implants and techniques have been increasingly used in cases of both fully or partially edentulous patients. In some cases they provide more conservative treatment, and in others better stability, retention, and function. To achieve a satisfactory result, there are several factors that should be taken into account: the type and quality of the bone, bone density, the placement location of implants, retrievability of restorations, the patient's motivation, and economic issues. Trainees should be aware of the limitations of the techniques that can be used for successful prosthetic rehabilitation. This work describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a fully edentulous mandible treated with dental implants using the 'Toronto Bridge' technique for restoring both function and aesthetics. This type of prosthesis is a screwed-in mesostructure with milled abutments for the cementation of single or multiple suprastructures. This device could also be named 'abutment-hybrid overdenture' The main advantages and disadvantages of this protocol are discussed

A Finite Element‑Based Methodology for the Thermo‑mechanical Analysis of Early Age Behavior in Concrete Structures

This paper presents a general procedure based on fracture mechanics models in order to analyze the level of cracking and structural safety in reinforced concrete elements at early ages, depending on the stripping time. Our procedure involves the development of a thermo-mechanical numerical model based on the finite element method that accounts for the change in the mechanical properties of concrete with time. Moreover, fracture mechanisms are analyzed by means of a material damage model, which is characterized via specific experimental results obtained for standard specimens and notched beams under three-point bending testing. The loading conditions are both thermal and mechanical, and are obtained from the hydration process for a given concrete dosage. The presented methodology allows for the determination of the optimal stripping time, whereas it helps assessing the analysis of the cracking and the stress states of the elements under consideration. A practical application, namely the analysis of a retaining wall, is used to validate our methodology, showing its suitability in engineering practice.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad BIA2016-75431-

La industria de piezas y partes de madera en Chile y en la region del Maule

152 p.Este trabajo ha recopilado y ordenado antecedentes y estadísticas de la industria nacional y regional de piezas y partes de madera, con el objetivo de caracterizar el sector y determinar el grado de atractividad que este tiene desde el punto de vista de su estructura industrial. Para tal efecto se utilizó el modelo de las cinco fuerzas de Porter. Cabe destacar que a nivel nacional la información utilizada para determinar la atractividad de la industria, fue a través de fuentes secundarias, mientras que para el regional el análisis se base en los resultados de una encuesta aplicada a las 25 empresas de piezas y partes de madera más grandes de la Región del Maule. El análisis de la información recopilada de la industria nacional nos índice) que la industria presenta moderadas barreras de entrada, alta rivalidad entre competidores, alto poder de los proveedores, bajo poder de los compradores y baja disponibilidad de sustitutos. Se concluye que en la actualidad la industria presenta una moderada atractividad. La industria de piezas y partes de madera regional se ha dividido en dos sectores: envases y embalajes, y barracas. El análisis de los resultados de la encuesta aplicada a las 25 empresas mas grandes de la Región del Maule nos permitió obtener las siguientes conclusiones. En el sector de envases y embalajes existen moderadas barreras de entrada, moderada rivalidad entre competidores, bajo poder de los proveedores, bajo poder de los compradores y baja disponibilidad de sustitutos. Estas características hacen que el sector sea atractivo en el corto plazo. En el mediano a largo plazo la atractividad puede perderse debido a una probable mayor competitividad de los productos sustitutos envases de cartón y bins de plástico. En el sector de barracas existen moderadas barreras de entrada, moderada rivalidad entre competidores, alto poder de los proveedores, bajo poder de los compradores y alta disponibilidad de sustitutos. Estas características hacen que la industria sea moderadamente atractiva. En el mediano a largo plazo la madera debiera ser mejor apreciada como material de construcción (como en los países mas desarrollados) y la atractividad de esta industria debería aumentar

Computational Multiscale Solvers for Continuum Approaches

Computational multiscale analyses are currently ubiquitous in science and technology. Different problems of interest-e.g., mechanical, fluid, thermal, or electromagnetic-involving a domain with two or more clearly distinguished spatial or temporal scales, are candidates to be solved by using this technique. Moreover, the predictable capability and potential of multiscale analysis may result in an interesting tool for the development of new concept materials, with desired macroscopic or apparent properties through the design of their microstructure, which is now even more possible with the combination of nanotechnology and additive manufacturing. Indeed, the information in terms of field variables at a finer scale is available by solving its associated localization problem. In this work, a review on the algorithmic treatment of multiscale analyses of several problems with a technological interest is presented. The paper collects both classical and modern techniques of multiscale simulation such as those based on the proper generalized decomposition (PGD) approach. Moreover, an overview of available software for the implementation of such numerical schemes is also carried out. The availability and usefulness of this technique in the design of complex microstructural systems are highlighted along the text. In this review, the fine, and hence the coarse scale, are associated with continuum variables so atomistic approaches and coarse-graining transfer techniques are out of the scope of this paper.Abengoa Researc
