A produção do feminino: representações de gênero no discurso da teologia católica tradicional by Neiva Furlin

“…Para o tratamento dos elementos históricos adotamos a perspectiva da genealogia, inspirada em Michel Foucault, uma vez que não se pretendeu interpretar a história de forma linear, mas compreender as condições nas quais os processos de subjetivação feminina ocorreram no universo do saber teológico. Como ferramenta analítica elegemos os pressupostos teóricos dos estudos feministas e de gênero, segundo a perspectiva pós-estruturalista. …”

Study on the stability of excavation process of permafrost subgrade slope in Alpine region by Zhilong Zhang, Jiyang Zhang, Jiangang Chen, Jing Luo, Bingbing Lei

“…Under identical temporal conditions, slopes with gentler gradients exhibit relatively shallower thawing depths and demonstrate enhanced stability.When comparing slopes with equivalent ratios and initial water contents, it was observed that maximum thawing depth in frozen soils decreases over time as construction delays occur; thus, later construction leads to diminished impacts on slope stability alongside accelerated freezing rates. …”
