O COLONIALISMO NO CORAÇÃO DA TEORIA CRÍTICA: a justificativa colonial em Karl Marx by Josias de Paula Jr.

“…Nesse contexto, pode-se observar com clareza o processo dialético que caracteriza a teorização social, no qual as ideias tanto refletem quanto informam as relações sociais de seu tempo. Nosso artigo visa lançar luz sobre as relações ambíguas entre a teoria de Karl Marx e o ideário colonialista que embasou uma vasta gama de opressões. …”

Innovations in hypoxic training by Raphael Faiss, Martin Faulhaber

“…A first symposium on sport at moderate altitude was held in 1965 in Magglingen before a Swiss delegation headed by Dr. Kaspar Wolf sojourned in Mexico in November 1966 to explore the strong discrepancies in the athletes’ individual responses to altitude during their prolonged stay at 2300 m. 60 years later in Magglingen, the knowledge around physiological mechanisms underpinning responses to exercise and training in various low (or high) oxygen environments has increased tremendously with a wide range of recommendations available for altitude training camps or the use of hyperoxia to stimulate specific adaptations. …”
