Ruminação e habilidades de mindfulness em praticantes e não praticantes de meditação
Authors: Menezes Carolina Baptista , Crauss Francisco , Nascimento Lucas , Andretta Ilana
Published: January 2018

Comparou-se os níveis de mindfulness e ruminação entre meditadores e não meditadores entre 16 e 65 anos e investigou-se a correlação dessas variáveis em cada grupo, e com a quantidade de prática. Utilizou-se os questionários sociodemográfico, Ruminação e Reflexão (QRR) e Cinco Facetas de Mindfulness (FFMQ). Os meditadores apresentaram escore significativamente menor de ruminação e maior de mindfulness nas facetas observar, descrever, agir com consciência e não reagir. Agir com consciência, não julgar e não reagir correlacionaram negativamente com ruminação em ambos os grupos, sendo a associação maior entre meditadores. Tempo em meses e frequência semanal correlacionaram positivamente com agir com consciência, não julgar e não reagir e negativamente com ruminação. Os achados corroboram que aumento de mindfulness e redução da ruminação constituem benefícios da prática meditativa, caracterizando potenciais mecanismos psicológicos por trás da relação entre meditação e regulação emocional.
Assigning crashes to road segments in developing countries
Authors: Haghani Mohamadreza , Jalalkamali Reza , Berangi Mohammadjavad
Published: January 2018

In view of the high frequency of crashes on two-lane two-way rural roads, the safety of such roads was evaluated. In developing countries like Iran, crashes on rural roads are generally recorded with low accuracy. In this work, two new methods for assigning crashes to road segments were developed. In the first method, observed crashes are assigned to segments based on the exposure index, while in the second they are assigned based on the crash prediction model (CPM) of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). Owing to the random nature of crashes, Poisson regression was used for modelling. Evaluation and comparison of the models revealed that the best performance was obtained by the model based on observed crashes assigned by the HSM's CPM using the variables: segment length; annual average daily traffic; shoulder width; presence of residential land use on the roadside; horizontal curve radius; variance of the super-elevation required in road design codes from the existing horizontal curve super-elevation; and driveway density.
Black living standards in South Africa before democracy: New evidence from height
Authors: Mpeta Bokang , Fourie Johan , Inwood Kris
Published: January 2018

Very little income or wage data were systematically recorded about the living standards of South Africa’s black majority during much of the 20th century. We used four data sets to provide an alternative measure of living standards – namely stature – to document, for the first time, living standards of black South Africans over the course of the 20th century. We found evidence to suggest that living standards in the first three decades of the century were particularly poor, perhaps because of the increasingly repressive labour policies in urban areas and famine and land expropriation that weighed especially heavily on the Basotho. The decade following South Africa’s departure from the gold standard, a higher international gold price and the demand for manufactured goods from South Africa as a consequence of World War II seem to have benefitted both black and white South Africans. The data also allowed us to disaggregate by ethnicity within the black population group, revealing levels of inequality within race groups that have been neglected in the literature. Finally, we compared black and white living standards, and revealed the large and widening levels of inequality that characterised 20th-century South Africa.
Significance:

We provide the first long-run estimates of black living standards in South Africa and evidence of inter-group differences in the effects of 20th-century events and policies.
Human uses and indigenous knowledge of edible termites in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Authors: Netshifhefhe Shandukani R. , Kunjeku Ednah C. , Duncan Frances D.
Published: January 2018

Termites are a good food source, being rich in proteins, fats, vitamins and many essential mineral nutrients, and thus provide food security for poor households. We report on a survey conducted in the Vhembe District Municipality of Limpopo Province, South Africa, to identify edible termite species and find out how they are harvested, prepared, graded, packaged and marketed. We also looked at the socio-economic factors of the harvesters, marketers and consumers. Using a structured questionnaire, 104 individuals were interviewed from 48 villages. Most of the harvesters were over the age of 60 years but termites are consumed by the whole family. The results of the survey revealed that only three termite species are consumed: soldiers of Macrotermes falciger (89.90%), M. natalensis (8.08%) and M. michaelseni (2.02%). The preferred method of preparation was frying (77.55% of the respondents). At least 80.77% of the respondents indicated that some religions have restrictions on termite consumption but no ethnic restrictions were reported. The income derived from selling termites was estimated to range from ZAR2040 to ZAR17 680 per annum between April 2015 and April 2016. The results of this study showed that edible termites contribute significantly to the livelihoods of many rural families and this indigenous knowledge should be passed on to younger generations. Research on the sustainability of termite harvesting is recommended.
Significance:

Termites are sources of food with high economic and social importance, and are easily accessible by the poor.
Studies have been conducted on edible termites in many African countries, yet comparatively little is known about edible termites in South Africa.
Preservation of indigenous knowledge used during harvesting and processing needs to be prioritised.
Palaeoecology of giraffe tracks in Late Pleistocene aeolianites on the Cape south coast
Authors: Helm Charles , Cawthra Hayley , Cowling Richard , De Vynck Jan , Marean Curtis , McCrea Richard , Rust Renee
Published: January 2018

Until now there have been no reliable historical or skeletal fossil records for the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) south of the Orange River or northern Namaqualand. The recent discovery of fossil giraffe tracks in coastal aeolianites east of Still Bay, South Africa, significantly increases the geographical range for this species, and has implications for Late Pleistocene climate and vegetation in the southern Cape. Giraffe populations have specialised needs, and require a savanna ecosystem. Marine geophysical and geological evidence suggests that the broad, currently submerged floodplains of the Gouritz and Breede Rivers likely supported a productive savanna of Vachellia karroo during Pleistocene glacial conditions, which would have provided a suitable habitat for this species. We show evidence for the hypothesis that the opening of the submerged shelf during glacial periods acted as a pathway for mammals to migrate along the southern coastal plain.
Significance:

The identification of fossil giraffe tracks on the Cape south coast, far from the area in which giraffe have previously been known to occur, is unexpected; conclusions about prehistoric conditions and vegetation can be drawn from this discovery.

Communicative Mission of Opinion Journalism and Transformation Processes of Identity in I. Dziuba’s Opinion Writing
Authors: Nosova Bogdana
Published: January 2018

The aim of the study is to determine how value motives of I. Dziuba’s opinion journalism articles contribute to the transformation of Ukrainian identity in social communication. The task to be accomplished is to consider a series of opinion journalism articles by I. Dziuba. They are combined by topics to highlight the multifaceted issues (cultural, linguistic, and educational) of transformation of modern Ukrainian identity.

Methods. The study has been carried out by the method of conceptual analysis to determine how the communicative mission of opinion journalism appeared. In I. Dziuba’s opinion writing, Ukrainian being is re-created with a focus on important concepts such as Ukraine, independence, identity, nation, elite, culture, geopolitics, globalization, etc. Modern journalism study considers the research of opinion journalism discourse as a content conceptual reading, analysis of connections between various concepts. The study has been carried out not only by the method of conceptual analysis. The method of hermeneutics was used for reviewing I. Dziuba’s opinion journalism from the worldwide perspective. Transformation processes of Ukrainian national identity are studied on the examples of opinion journalism discourse about the development, the advocacy and the use of the language of the titular nation. The interpretation of I. Dziuba’s opinion writing is not possible without a reference to its social resonance that is formatted in the comments of intellectuals, published in media on the occasions of writer’s meeting with readers, celebration of his anniversary. To analyze the communicative mission of I. Dziuba’s opinion writing, there were used general theoretical methods such as dialectics and synergy. Dialectical method has been used to study how I. Dziuba interprets Russian nationalism, Ukrainophobia (Anti-Ukrainian sentiment). The principles of synergy analysis were used to analyse communicative mission of opinion journalism.

Results and conclusions are based on the proving of the hypothesis on the value motives that were reflected in I. Dziuba’s work “Internationalism or Russification?” and at his collected book of articles and speeches “Spreading the Darkness” are almost the same (despite the fact that the time period between the publishing of these two books is over forty years). There are the advocacy of the Ukrainian language, the right of Ukrainians for a full development of national culture and education, a patriotic attitude to their native land, and then for the independent Ukrainian state. The differences are in the fact that “Internationalism or Russification?” was written in September – December 1965, in the Soviet Union, and the author had to defend the Ukrainian views under the totalitarian regime and communist ideology. Our study paves the way for further researches of the opinion journalism communicative mission.
TERRITORIAL MARKETING IN THE BALTIC SEA REGION PORT CITIES
Authors: Grinberga Zalite Gunta , Hernik Joanna
Published: January 2018

Today in the Baltic Sea region, territorial marketing plays a substantial role both for tourist attraction and local young families, a quality workforce and students’ retention to the region, which is not easy due to the wide scope of work and travel opportunities in the European Union Member States. Territorial marketing aims to increase the prestige of a territory by attracting local and foreign subjects to the territory by creating an expressive image, maximal use of the territory’s natural, material and technical as well as financial, labour and social resources. The Baltic Sea region countries have a lot in common: historical heritage of Soviet Union influence until 1991, which has left its impact both on their architecture, city planning and on peoples’ mentality; joining the European Union in 2004 and since then struggling with common market side effects that force these countries to look for new ways to sustain their regional competitiveness. The current research focuses on exploring the experience of territorial marketing use in four Baltic Sea region port cities: Parnu (Estonia), Ventspils (Latvia), Klaipeda (Lithuania) and Szczecin (Poland). The research aimed to compare the territorial marketing approaches used in the four Baltic Sea region port cities and specifics of brand positioning for the cities. In the research work, desk study and the comparative method were applied to aggregate and interpret secondary data on the four cities’ development trends. Analysis and synthesis methods were applied to investigate the elements of territorial marketing.

Na divisão dos falares proposta por Zágari (1998), Machacalis estaria na área do falar baiano, Piranga e Ouro Branco no falar mineiro. Já na divisão proposta por Nascentes (1953), Machacalis estaria na área de falar baiano, Piranga, no falar fluminense e Ouro Branco no falar mineiro. A realização das pretônicas é característica relevante para as diversas divisões dos falares brasileiros. Assim, este trabalho estuda a variação das vogais médias pretônicas nos referidos municípios. Os objetivos deste artigo são: descrever as vogais médias pretônicas de alguns falares mineiros e assim contribuir para a descrição das variedades de Minas Gerais e do português brasileiro (PB), estudar os processos fonológicos pelos quais passam essas vogais nas três cidades, determinar quais são os gatilhos desses processos e discutir as propostas de divisão dos falares mineiros em que se encaixam as comunidades em questão. Adotou-se o modelo teórico-metodológico da Teoria da Variação e Mudança Linguística (LABOV, 1972) e o modelo da Fonologia Autossegmental (GOLDSMITH, 1976) e da Geometria de Traços (CLEMENTS; HUME, 1996). Para o tratamento estatístico, foi utilizado o modelo de regressão logística, presente no software SPSS. Averiguaram-se quais foram os grupos de fatores linguísticos e os grupos de fatores sociais atuantes no alçamento e na abertura da vogal média pretônica.
A presença de latinismos na redação acadêmica: análise de elementos de citação a partir da Norma 10520
Authors: Oliveira Thiago Soares de
Published: January 2018

Considerando as diversas orientações constantes na NBR 10520 (ABNT, 2002), que regulamenta as formas de citação em documentos, este trabalho tem o objetivo de demonstrar a relevância dos latinismos existentes na metodologia científica da língua portuguesa – uma das diversas línguas românicas originadas do latim –, a partir da análise do léxico latino mormente empregado como elementos de citação em textos acadêmicos. Para tanto, utiliza-se a base gramatical da língua latina a fim de dar conta da investigação terminológica proposta, tudo em consonância com o método analítico, que visa a explorar não só o todo significativo da expressão, mas também as suas partes constituintes. Ao fim, conclui-se que o léxico latino, quando utilizado em citações em textos de cunho acadêmico, além de funcional e preciso, acaba por denotar, em alguns casos, economia linguística, evitando a repetição de referências.

O presente trabalho apresenta os procedimentos e a metodologia utilizada na execução do furo estratigráfico (1200m de profundidade) na região Riacho Fechado (Currais Novos/RN) pela CPRM-Companhia de Pesquisa e de Recursos Minerais (Serviço Geológico do Brasil), enfocando deste a instalação da sonda, aquisição de dados através dos testemunhos, até a obtenção de dados que permitissem uma modelagem geológica da região. O furo de sonda está inserido no Domínio Rio Piranhas-Seridó da Província Borborema (nordeste do Brasil), porção central do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, tendo como objetivo principal avaliar as relações/feições estratigráficas do Grupo Seridó, com ênfase a caracterizar uma possível inversão estratigráfica desta unidade na referida região, na qual estão presentes minas de scheelita, tais como Brejuí, Boca de Lages e Barra Verde. Com relação aos procedimentos do referido furo, é abordada a metodologia referente ao posicionamento da sonda, orientação de testemunho, além de medidas de atitudes (planares e lineares), registro/descrições e análises de Fluorescência de Raios-X (portátil) nos testemunhos. A descrição das litologias associadas as medidas/parâmetros estruturais obtidos nos testemunhos e em campo, permitiram caracterizar uma inversão estratigráfica do Grupo Seridó, materializada por uma dobra recumbente com superfície axial subhorizontalizada, provocando repetição de unidades/formações do Grupo Seridó, onde ressaltamos a Formação Jucurutu na porção inferior do furo, e consequentemente ampliação o potencial exploratório da região. Um biotita leucogranito equigranular com idade (U-Pb) em zircão de 561+4 Ma observado na profundidade de 167,25 a 171,78m é sugerido como provável fonte para os fluidos magmáticos responsáveis pelo transporte e precipitação das mineralizações de tungstênio e molibdênio na região. A integração e análise de mapas e seções geológicas, furos estratigráficos, dados aeromagnéticos e da bibliografia permitiram sugerir um modelo/configuração geológica da porção leste do Domínio Rio Piranhas-Seridó durante o Neoproterozoico, bem como sua configuração atual.

La corrupción en el franquismo. El fenómeno del “Gran Estraperlo”
Authors: Arco Blanco Miguel Ángel del
Published: January 2018

Resumen: El artículo se centra en el estudio de la corrupción durante el régimen franquista. Discute el mito, en gran parte vigente en parte de la sociedad actual, de la inexistencia de la corrupción durante el franquismo. Para ello estudiamos un fenómeno hasta ahora no demasiado explorado: el del “gran estraperlo”. Un negocio de alto rendimiento que tuvo lugar durante la posguerra, a expensas del sufrimiento, el hambre y la escasez de buena parte de la población. Fue desarrollado siempre en connivencia o con la participación directa de personas pertenecientes a la Administración franquista o cercanas a la misma. La reacción de la dictadura fue la de desarrollar importantes campañas de propaganda o castigar a los pequeños estraperlistas, mientras que toleraba el comercio clandestino y la impunidad de los principales responsables del gran estraperlo. De esta forma, la corrupción fue algo estructural dentro de la dictadura, justificándose no sólo por los intereses individuales que satisfizo, sino también porque fue un elemento esencial dentro de los mecanismos que consolidaron y dieron estabilidad al “Nuevo Estado” surgido de la guerra civil.Palabras clave: franquismo, corrupción, estraperlo, mercado negro, poder local, personal político.Abstract: The article studies the corruption during the Francoist regime. The myth of the absence of corruption under Francoist dictatorship is discussed. The text analyses a case of a non-very much studied phenomena: the “great estraperlo” (great black market). A highly profitable business that took place during the post-war years at the expense of the suffering, the hunger and the scarcity of a large part of the population. It was always developed with the complicity or the direct participation of members of the Francoist administration or people close to the regime. The dictatorship’s reaction consisted in the display of important propaganda campaigns or in the punishment of the small black marketers, whereas it tolerated the clandestine trade and the impunity of the main culprits of the great black market. This way, corruption was structural within the dictatorship. It should be explained not only for the individual interests that it satisfied, but also because it was an essential element for the consolidation and stabilisation of the “New State” emerged during the Spanish Civil War.Keywords: Francoism, corruption, estraperlo, black market, local authorities, political personnel, grassroots.

Published: January 2018

Este artigo centra-se na análise da apropriação pública da herança cultural arqueológica marajoara, cuja reavivação, em um contexto capitalista, assume novos significados. O texto chama a atenção para as expectativas do público sobre o passado e os entendimentos incorretos causados pela difusão do jargão arqueológico. Propõe-se que é necessário refletir sobre o papel do arqueólogo, historiador e educador na criação de tradições culturais, assim como de nossas próprias construções epistemológicas sobre o “outro” (o passado), entendendo os contextos sociais, políticos e econômicos nos quais essa atividade acontece.

Este trabalho, de caráter teórico descritivo, tem como principal objetivo identificar as características que uma teoria pedagógica deve possuir para atender de forma adequada às demandas que recaem sobre a escola no atual momento histórico em que vivemos. Para tanto, analisamos as principais mudanças que ocorreram nas práticas pedagógicas durante o século XX e refletimos sobre o momento histórico em que vivemos para identificar como deve ser a pedagogia para esse início de século. Concluímos que momentos de crise são também geradores de novas oportunidades e apontamos uma série de qualidades indispensáveis às teorias pedagógicas do século XXI amparados na leitura de Bauman sobre nossa sociedade.

Authors: Gonzatto Rodrigo Freese , Merkle Luiz Ernesto
Published: January 2018

Este artigo traça um breve levantamento biográfico de Álvaro Borges Vieira Pinto (Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, ⭒1909 – Rio de Janeiro, RJ, †1987) e apresenta uma bibliografia atualizada de sua produção intelectual, trazendo novas informações e retificando algumas datas e referências. Vieira Pinto, intelectual de formação interdisciplinar, foi professor, médico, pesquisador e filósofo. Embora seja ocasionalmente apontado apenas como pensador “desenvolvimentista”, devido a sua ligação com o Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros (ISEB), nas últimas décadas vem sendo reconhecido por suas lições sobre a educação de adultos, seu livro sobre o método científico, e, mais recentemente, por suas reflexões sobre as tecnologias. Como sua obra ainda é pouco conhecida e de difícil acesso, delineamos sua produção intelectual para melhor estudá-la, difundi-la e disponibilizá-la. Partimos de esforços, já realizados anteriormente, de revisão sobre sua obra, que compilamos, organizamos, indexamos e complementamos, buscando uma compreensão abrangente da obra de Vieira Pinto, como parte de um esforço de longo prazo, visando organizar um acervo digital de referência sobre este autor, que permita contribuir para sua releitura, difusão e circulação.

O presente texto tem como finalidade identificar e analisar a concepção docente em relação aos principais aspectos que interferem de maneira positiva e negativa na prática pedagógica, levando em consideração o cotidiano escolar. Desta maneira, para este estudo utilizou-se pressupostos da abordagem qualitativa, amparando-se no método dialético. Assim, a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo compõem o conjunto de procedimentos investigativos. Outro ponto relevante é a compreensão referente aos limites da práxis pedagógica, considerando a relação entre o pensar e o construir de novas possibilidades referentes ao trabalho docente peculiar ao contexto em que está inserido. Assim, por meio deste estudo constatou-se que, torna-se imprescindível trabalhar com o pensar e o repensar das concepções sobre a prática docente relacionando-se  a construção social da mesma, na qual é permeada de ideologias, valores e relações de poder que compõem o imaginário de uma dada sociedade.

Authors: Sulaiman Sulaiman
Published: January 2018

This article focuses on humanistic learning at an Islamic private school in Aceh. It uses qualitative descriptive method and takes seven subjects as the sample of the data. It shows that the humanistic learning in Darul Aman Private Madrasah Aliyah of Aceh Besar was implemented through three mechanisms. First, creating a humanist class situation, both physical and non-physical environment (socio-emotional), through a democratic approach. Second, employing a cooperative learning model as the basis of humanistic learning. Third, adopting an effective communication model in creating humanistic learning interactions. This involves cycle-models of communication and interaction of learning: one direction interaction (teacher-student), teacher-learners-learners (their feedback for teachers; students learn from each other) and multi-interaction of the teacher-learner, learner-teacher, learners-learners (interaction in many directions). The implementation of humanistic learning at Darul Aman Private Madrasah Aliyah of Aceh Besar had a problem in the form of limited instructional media resources. Nevertheless, the overall learning process was humanist.

Published: January 2018

Objective: Poor sleep in college students can attribute to poor academic performance. Poor sleep is detrimental to health; however, adequate sleep is not often seen as a priority. The objective of the study was to better understand college students’ sleep habits and determine their perceptions regarding the effects of these sleep habits on quality of life.Methodology: A quantitative, cross-sectional approach with a descriptive design was appropriate for this study. Participants were 122 students, in a Christian college with a population of about 2000 in the mid-western region of the United States. The survey instrument was developed with 6 demographic items and 19 statements using a 4-point Likert-type scale. Data collection occurred in the hallway of the library on two days in the spring semester of 2016.Results: Regarding sleep habits, the average college student keeps their sleep and study spaces separate, they wake up at a regular time every day, they do use technology, such as a cell phone, TV/radio, computer, or iPad before going to sleep, and they have a sleep environment that is quiet and calming. A significant finding was that students did not think extracurricular activities (anything outside of class) negatively affected their sleep. Conclusions: A large percentage of students use technology before bed, which places them at a higher risk for negative quality of life. Students admit to experiencing irregularity in their sleep patterns (M=3.59, on a 4-point scale); however, most participants did not agree that caffeine consumption (M=2.15), extracurricular activities (M=2.25), or daytime naps (M=2.16) contributed to sleep problems.

Introduction. The population of elderly people is exposed to the development of disorders related to physiological ageing, as well as relatively common diseases occurring in the old age period. The gastrointestinal diseases, which reduce the absorption of many nutrients, are more frequent in the elderly compared to younger population.Material and Methods. In the study was attempted the assess of conditions of dietary supplementation by 60 years old people or older (60+). The comparisons of results were obtained with relation to young adults and middle aged persons (18–58 years). The survey was conducted with 368 adult, including 123 respondents over 60 years old and 245 younger people.Results. The study has been shown that dietary supplements were used by 64.2% of elderly people and 59.6% of younger respondents. The most common source of knowledge about dietary supplements in the elderly was a physician (40.7%) in contrast to younger population, where dominated the Internet (60.0%).

Development and innovation all the time are in interests of pharmaceutical science and evaluation of different dosage forms. They are concerned with the aim of compliance of patients. All the time different research groups try to develop and improve form of drugs to receive better bioavailability or strict control of dose, place and time of action of active substances. This is possible by using different excipients; biodegradable, biocompatible polymers that work like a carriers; developing simple drug delivery systems, which in time became more and more complicated; nanotechnology that control size, shape and multi-functionality of particulate drug delivery systems. This review shows the main points in the evaluation of pharmaceutical researches from simple carriers of active substances to drug delivery systems.
