A região do Alto Irani situada no oeste catarinense, possui 15% da vegetação original, tem caracteristicamente a silvicultura praticada em áreas inferiores a 10 hectares, registra índices preocupantes de incêndios florestais, principalmente em reflorestamentos. Como inexiste na região qualquer programa oficial sendo desenvolvido por órgão público, a Universidade do Oeste de Santa Catarina - UNOESC, através do seu campus de Xanxerê, desenvolveu um projeto de capacitação que inclui bombeiros, trabalhadores de empresas florestais, funcionários públicos com função de extensão rural e representantes das comunidades indígenas. O projeto de extensão universitária é oferecido gratuitamente, tendo por objetivos difundir técnicas de queima controlada para os agricultores, técnicas de prevenção para pequenos e médios silvicultores, qualificação técnica a bombeiros visando o desenvolvimento de atividades de prevenção e combate e, principalmente, a composição de uma força tarefa qualificada para o combate a incêndios florestais em todos os 14 municípios da região. Abstract The region of Alto Irani situated in the west of Santa Catarina possesses 15% of its original vegetation, characteristically it has silviculture practiced in areas inferior to 10 hectare, registers worrying indexes of forest fires, mainly in areas of reforestation. As there is not in the region any official program being developed by a public department, the Universidade do Oeste de Santa Catarina - UNOESC, via its campus situated in Xanxerê, developed a qualification project that includes firemen, workers from forest companies, public officers whose function is rural extension and representatives of Indian communities. The university extension project is offered free of charge, it has as objectives to spread techniques of controlled burn for the agriculturists, techniques of prevention for small and medium silviculturists, technical qualification for firemen with the objective of developing activities for prevention and combat of fires and mainly the composition of a group qualified for fighting against forest fires in all the 14 cities in the region.

Sea Area

The fjord-like inlets or sea-lochs which form so conspicuous a feature in the scenery of the west of Scotland stand in marked contrast to the shallow, low-shored firths of the east coast. When Dr John Murray decided to extend the physical and biological work of the Scottish Marine Station to the west coast he foresaw that many interesting conclusions were likely to be derived from the study of these isolated sea-basins. Various papers, published by him and other workers, contain preliminary discussions of many of the phenomena observed, fully justifying the anticipations which had been formed.For one year my work, as described in this paper, was carried out under the provisions of an Elective Fellowship in Experimental Physics of the University of Edinburgh, to which I had been elected in 1886; and subsequently by a personal grant from the Government Grant Committee for Scientific Research. The Committee also devoted several sums of money in payment of expenses in compiling this discussion. The Scottish Marine Station throughout gave the use of the steam-yacht “Medusa,” and the necessary apparatus.

Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey in the Theatre Workshop production of 1959 opened to the sound of a fast twelve-bar blues played on trumpet, saxophone, and guitar by musicians sitting in a box to the right of the stage. Though rarely mentioned by historians, the ‘Apex Jazz Trio’, as they were called, were a lively and unpredictable element in the production. Between the actors' open acknowledgement of the band, and Avis Bunnage's direct comments to the audience, the play shattered the ’realistic‘ conventions that still held sway in the West End, at the same time transgressing the distinction between ‘serious’ theatre and music hall (where the boundary of the proscenium was never respected obsequiously). Alec Patton, a PhD student at the University of Sheffield, draws on original interviews with actors from the cast, a member of the first-night audience, and the leader of the band that accompanied the show to offer a re-assessment of the role of music and music hall in the original production of A Taste of Honey.

The Relationship

In this text, we ask about the relationship between sexual education in Poland in the 1960s and 1970s with the cultural contestation and the moral (including sexual) revolution in the West as seen through the eyes of Prof. Andrzej Jaczewski (1929–2020) – educationalist, who for many years in 1970s and 1980s conducted seminars at the University of Cologne, pediatrician, sexologist, one of the pioneers of sexual education in Poland. The movie “Sztuka kochania. Historia Michaliny Wisłockiej” (“The Art of Love. The Story of Michalina Wisłocka” [1921–2005]), directed in 2017 by Maria Sadowska, was the impulse for our interview. After watching it, we discovered that the counter-cultural background of the West in the 1960s and 1970s was completely absent both in the aforementioned film and in the discourse of Polish sex education at that time. Moreover, Andrzej Jaczewski’s statement (July 2020) indicates that the Polish concept of sexual education in the 1960s and 1970s did not arise under the influence of the social and moral revolution in the West at the same time, and its originality lay in the fact that it was dealt with by professional doctors-specialists. We put Andrzej Jaczewski’s voice in the spotlight. Our voice is usually muted in this text, it is more of an auxiliary function (Chase, 2009). Each of the readers may impose their own interpretative filter on the story presented here.
