The article considers conditions for safe operation of low-tonnage road trains with overall trailers, namely universal platforms with a load capacity of up to 3 tons, capable of transporting agricultural machines, mini-factories and other equipment, as well as tourist houses. Transportation of such trailers on wheels is associated with high risks arising at small turning radii and emergency braking. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in improving the safety of operation and maneuverability of agricultural low-tonnage road trains operating in difficult road and terrain conditions of agricultural production. (Materials and methods) Authors have analyzed the results of research and experiments on the safe operation of low-tonnage road trains with trailers weighing up to 1 ton. The authors developed and tested on the basis of VIM and the Volga State Technical University a mechanical coupling device with a flexible connection that increases the handling and maneuverability of the trailer. (Results and discussion) The authors determined that the critical turning radii depending on the speed of a low-tonnage road train in different road conditions and different loading of the trailer when driving in front and rear for a conventional single-axle trailer with a load capacity of 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3 tons. It was found that the maneuverability is largely provided by the additional force in the cable, so authors recommend using a cable with a diameter of at least 9 mm. (Conclusion) Further research will make it possible to determine the critical indicators of safe operation of a low-tonnage road train with a load capacity of up to 3.5 tons: safe speed when passing critical turns, emergency braking and reversing.

Independent Media

This article addresses the independent media after the 2013 demonstrations in Brazil, taking as object of analysis the notion of independence built by the collective Jornalistas Livres (Free Journalists) in their daily lives, understood here as central to the social structures (re) production and change, in order to to understand how communication is inscribed in the conquest, maintenance and dispute of hegemony. It is understood here that an independent media is not unique, assuming, on the contrary, different meanings in several contexts. Our objective give focus to the idea of independence, discussing potentialities and limitations to the initiatives that operate under this logic. Anchored in a critical and dialectical perspective, we established as methodological procedures the bibliographic review, documentary survey and discourse analysis.

Abstract Records indicate that during the French colonial period, Jesuits established four mission congregations within the territory now known as Vermont. These missions were established to preach to both French colonists and Native converts on Isle La Motte, on the Missisquoi River in Swanton, at Fort Saint-Frédéric on Lake Champlain, and in the area known as the Koas on the Connecticut River. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Abenaki peoples of Vermont have had a long and difficult road to gain state and federal recognition. These descendant communities have invoked the existence of Jesuit missions to the Abenaki as proof of the current tribal governments’ legitimacy. This is intriguing considering the blame for cultural destruction is often laid at the feet of Jesuit missionaries. This paper examines the relationship between historical and archaeological evidence of French Jesuits and the legal legitimization of the Abenaki of Vermont.
