Az elektronikus cigarettáról meglévő ismeretek összefoglalása
Authors: Cselkó Zsuzsa , Pénzes Melinda
Published: June 2016

The decreasing proportion of smokers due to smoking restrictions have led producers to invent and disseminate electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) worldwide as a new form of nicotine enjoyment. This review summarizes the existing knowledge about e-cigarettes based on publications of PubMed, and on reviews and research data published by national and international scientific institutions. Present knowledge about the composition of e-cigarettes confirms that they are harmful products since their vapor is equally detrimental to the health of users and bystanders. Their benefits in smoking cessation still have not been justified by adequate scientific evidence, however, it has been proven that e-cigarettes uphold nicotine addiction and may increase the risk of starting conventional cigarette use by youth. In order to ensure the results of tobacco control policy and to assist smoking cessation, the same regulations are to be applied to e-cigarettes as to conventional tobacco products. Orv.

From Reciprocity to Centricity
Authors: Voutsaki Sofia
Published: June 2016

In this paper, I examine the role of reciprocal relations in processes of social change. More precisely, I discuss the transformation of modes of interaction and sumptuary behavior across a long period, from the collapse of the Early Bronze Age proto-urban societies, through the slow recovery during the Middle Bronze Age, to the intensification of social change during the transition to the Mycenaean period. A deep crisis swept across the southern Aegean at around 2200–2000 bc, bringing an end to the prosperous Early Helladic societies. While the causes of this crisis have been hotly debated, its consequences for the social fabric of the mainland communities have not been addressed systematically. In this study, I suggest that depopulation, social regression, and the ensuing fragmentation of the social body during Middle Helladic (MH) I–II (ca. 2100–1800 bc) were countered by two sets of practices: on the one hand, the establishment of reciprocal and segmentary networks of exchange that held together domestic groups, communities, and entire regions, and on the other, an emphasis on the continuity of the household that ensured its survival in this unstable period. The incorporation of the mainland into wider networks of interaction during the transition to the Mycenaean period (ca. 1800–1600 bc) brought about the transformation of kin-based MH societies to the differentiated Mycenaean polities. It is argued that this transformation relied on the manipulation of reciprocal exchanges and the subtle redefinition of modes of cooperation between households and kin groups.

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT: Forest breeding is a science that has been developing in Brazil since 1941 being the Eucalyptus a highlighted genus in this scenario. In a global scene, Brazil is displayed prominently in productivity of Eucalyptus planting, due to favorable environmental conditions to cultivation development, and the incentive in research for improvement of traits of interest t observed in it species and hybrids. This research included a historical review of Eucalyptus breeding over the years under genetic biometric perspective in Brazil, from reports describing the pioneer planting up to the current genome wide selection (GWS) that came as a complement of forest breeding success. This review showed some of the tracks performed by researchers aiming to improve the productive and quality of phenotypic traits from Eucalyptus genus.

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT: Currently, manufacturers of agricultural tractors offer to farmers a diversity of brands, models, and settings for the most diverse agricultural operations. In this sense, the relation mass/power of tractor influences directly in the performance of these operations. The objective of this research was to study the agricultural wheel tractors marketed in Brazil in relation to their mass, in order to obtain current data to help their selection and proper use. The research involved 145 agricultural tractors models of eight different brands, including 2WD, MFWD and 4WD versions. The variables mass without ballast, relation mass/power for the different brands, type of traction and tractor power were analyzed separately. Tractor power was classified in: Class I (<50kW), Class II (50 to 150kW) and Class III (>150kW), according to the rated engine power declared by the manufacturer. Statistical analyses used were the t-Student and Tukey tests. The most number of tractors belongs to Class II and are considered versatile due to their mass/power relation, and can be used in the most diverse agricultural operations. From these analyses it was detected the mass/power relation decreases when the rated engine power increases.
Multi-Trait analysis of growth traits: fitting reduced rank models using principal components for Simmental beef cattle
Authors: Mota Rodrigo Reis , Costa Edson Vinícius , Lopes Paulo Sávio , Nascimento Moyses , Silva Luciano Pinheiro da , Silva Fabyano Fonseca e , Marques Luiz Fernando Aarão
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to evaluate the dimensional reduction of additive direct genetic covariance matrices in genetic evaluations of growth traits (range 100-730 days) in Simmental cattle using principal components, as well as to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters. Principal component analyses were conducted for five different models-one full and four reduced-rank models. Models were compared using Akaike information (AIC) and Bayesian information (BIC) criteria. Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood (REML). The AIC and BIC values were similar among models. This indicated that parsimonious models could be used in genetic evaluations in Simmental cattle. The first principal component explained more than 96% of total variance in both models. Heritability estimates were higher for advanced ages and varied from 0.05 (100 days) to 0.30 (730 days). Genetic correlation estimates were similar in both models regardless of magnitude and number of principal components. The first principal component was sufficient to explain almost all genetic variance. Furthermore, genetic parameter similarities and lower computational requirements allowed for parsimonious models in genetic evaluations of growth traits in Simmental cattle.

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different types of cuttings and indolebutyric acid (IBA) concentration on the vegetative propagation of Lippia insignis , L. lasiocalycina , and L. thymoides . The experiment was conducted in a 2×5 factorial table, by using 2 types of cuttings (apical and medial) and 5 IBA concentrations (0, 250, 500, 750, and 1000mg·L-1) in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with 4 replications and 10 cuttings per plot. For the propagation of L. insignis , apical cuttings are the most suitable, whereas for L. thymoides and L. lasiocalycina species, both apical and medial cuttings may be used. The application of IBA is not necessary for propagation by cutting of the three species of Lippia.

ABSTRACT: Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is the agent of a vesicular disease that affects many animal species and may be clinically confounded with foot-and-mouth disease in ruminant and swine. Horses are especially susceptible to VSV and may serve as sentinels for virus circulation. The present study investigated the presence of neutralizing antibodies against VSV Indiana III (VSIV-3) in serum samples of 3,626 horses from six states in three Brazilian regions: Southern (RS, n = 1,011), Midwest (GO/DF, n = 1,767) and Northeast (PB, PE, RN and CE, n = 848) collected between 2013 and 2014. Neutralizing antibodies against VSIV-3 (titers ≥40) were detected in 641 samples (positivity of 17.7%; CI95%:16.5-19.0%), being 317 samples from CE (87.3%; CI95%: 83.4-90.5 %); 109 from RN (65.7%; CI95%: 57.8 -72.7%); 124 from PB (45.4%; CI95%: 39.4-51.5%); 78 from GO/DF (4.4%; CI95%: 3.5-5.5%) and nine samples of RS (0.9%; CI95%: 0.4-1.7%). Several samples from the Northeast and Midwest harbored high neutralizing titers, indicating a recent exposure to the virus. In contrast, samples from RS had low titers, possibly due to a past remote exposure. Several positive samples presented neutralizing activity against other VSV serotypes (Indiana I and New Jersey), yet in lower titers, indicating the specificity of the response to VSIV-3. These results demonstrated a relatively recent circulation of VSIV-3 in northeastern Brazilian States, confirming clinical findings and demonstrating the sanitary importance of this infection.

Authors: Stumpf Marcelo Tempel , Fischer Vivian , Kolling Giovani Jacob , Silva Alessandra Ventura da , Ribeiro Maria Edi Rocha , Santos Carolina da Silva dos
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT: The experiment was carried out to identify changes in the behaviorr of lactating cows induced by severe feeding restriction and further refeeding that could serve as facilitators for the visual identification of cows more prone to produce milk with reduced stability. Twelve cows were separated into two groups: Control: full diet supply; Restriction: 50% of the full diet. Feed restriction lasted seven days (Period 1), with posterior supply of full diet for seven days (Period 2) for all treatments. Behavior was observed on the first and fifth days in each period from 08h40 to 19h00. Ingestive and social behavior were monitored. Cortisol assessed stress levels. Analysis of variance and multifactorial statistical analyzes were performed. Adequate feed supply reduced stress, improved animals' welfare and milk stability to the ethanol test. Elevation in the incidence of behavior related with hunger, frustration and discomfort is an indicator of cows more prone to produce milk with reduced stability.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to characterize the demographic structure and spatial pattern of Campomanesia xanthocarpa (Mart.) O. Berg, Myrcianthes gigantea (D. Legrand) D. Legrand and Myrciaria delicatula (DC.) O. Berg. Within one hectare of Ombrophilous Mixed Forest, all the three populations' individuals were counted and measured with regard to their height and diameter. From the collected data, the assessment of the demographic structure was realized after the individual's size classification. Spatial pattern was determined by applying the Standardized Morisita's Index. C. xanthocarpa and M. delicatula showed an inverted-J frequency distribution in the individuals size classes, which differed from M. gigantea that did not follow the same pattern. The spatial pattern of C. xanthocarpa and M. delicatula populations was found mainly to be aggregated; whereas, M. gigantea showed spatial randomness. The three Myrtaceae populations responded differently with regard to structure and spatial distribution in sites with the same environmental filters.

Published: June 2016

Resumo O kaizen é um dos princípios que sustentam o Sistema Toyota de Produção (STP) como filosofia, porém é árduo seu uso na Indústria da Construção Civil (ICC) devido às suas inerentes características de produção. Assim, foi desenvolvido um modelo que auxilia o profissional da ICC a desenvolver de forma sistemática um projeto kaizen, por meio do uso de ferramentas de diagnóstico e análise do sistema de produção. O método de pesquisa é definido por três etapas sequenciais governadas por duas estratégias de pesquisa: teórico-conceitual, para as atividades de revisão bibliográfica e desenvolvimento do modelo, e pesquisa-ação visando à aplicação em um canteiro de obras voltado para a produção de habitações. Como resultado da pesquisa-ação, por meio do modelo, foram identificados e classificados nove problemas no sistema produtivo, suas raízes e oportunidades de kaizen. A proposta de sistematização da geração de oportunidades de kaizen para a ICC contribui diretamente para a qualidade dos produtos finais e redução de custos nos canteiros de obras, pois possibilita a melhoria contínua dos processos a partir de maiores níveis de valor agregado, com a redução do uso de recursos na produção.

Representaciones sociales de la crisis ambiental en futuros profesores de química
Authors: Contreras Yair Alexander Porras
Published: June 2016

Resumen La crisis ambiental, como crisis civilizatoria, emerge de las interacciones poco efectivas entre los subsistemas biofísicos, sociales y culturales, constituyéndose en un riesgo global que trasciende el dominio material, para posicionarse en una categoría que involucra el significado y el sentido de la realidad. De esta manera, las ideas, creencias y concepciones que elaboran los profesores en formación inicial sobre la crisis ambiental, se convierten en derroteros desde los cuales se construye su saber pedagógico y su praxis educativa en relación con el ambiente. El propósito del presente artículo consiste en reconocer las representaciones sociales de la crisis ambiental, que circulan en un grupo de profesores en formación inicial de la Licenciatura en Química de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de Colombia (UPN), tomando como referente el enfoque estructural de la representación social.

Authors: Santos Cássia Teixeira dos , Almeida Miriam de Abreu , Lucena Amália de Fátima
Published: June 2016

Abstract Objective: to validate the content of the new nursing diagnosis, termed risk for pressure ulcer. Method: the content validation with a sample made up of 24 nurses who were specialists in skin care from six different hospitals in the South and Southeast of Brazil. Data collection took place electronically, through an instrument constructed using the SurveyMonkey program, containing a title, definition, and 19 risk factors for the nursing diagnosis. The data were analyzed using Fehring's method and descriptive statistics. The project was approved by a Research Ethics Committee. Results: title, definition and seven risk factors were validated as "very important": physical immobilization, pressure, surface friction, shearing forces, skin moisture, alteration in sensation and malnutrition. Among the other risk factors, 11 were validated as "important": dehydration, obesity, anemia, decrease in serum albumin level, prematurity, aging, smoking, edema, impaired circulation, and decrease in oxygenation and in tissue perfusion. The risk factor of hyperthermia was discarded. Conclusion: the content validation of these components of the nursing diagnosis corroborated the importance of the same, being able to facilitate the nurse's clinical reasoning and guiding clinical practice in the preventive care for pressure ulcers.
Isotopic variation among Amazonian floodplain woody plants and implications for food-web research
Authors: Correa Sandra Bibiana , Winemiller Kirk , Cárdenas Dairon
Published: June 2016

Isotopic variation within food sources adds uncertainty to models intended to reconstruct trophic pathways. Understanding this variation is pivotal for planning sampling protocols for food-web research. This study investigates natural variation in C and N stable isotopes among plant species in two western Amazon flooded forests with contrasting watershed biogeochemistry (white-water várzea-forest and black-water igapó-forest). Our objectives were to compare δ13C and δ15N of leaves and fruits between sites; assess the magnitude of within-site variation in δ13C and δ15N of leaves (várzea: 28 spp., igapó: 10 spp.) and fruits (várzea: 22 spp., igapó: 22 spp.); determine within-plant variation in δ13C and δ15N of leaf, wood and fruit tissues; and test whether inter-specific variation in δ13C and δ15N influence the results of a mixing model predicting the contribution of terrestrial C sources to an aquatic consumer. Mean δ13C values of leaves and fruits were not statistically different between the two sites despite regional differences in biogeochemistry and floristic composition. In contrast, mean δ15N of leaves and fruits were significantly lower at the várzea than at the igapó site. The high floristic diversity of both forests was reflected in large within-site interspecific variation in both δ13C and δ15N. Paired comparisons revealed that δ13C of wood and fruits and δ15N of fruits were generally greater than values obtained for leaves from the same plant. The predicted contribution of different carbon sources to the consumer biomass changed between models as a function of source variability. We discuss implications of source variation for designing sampling protocols, interpreting isotopic signatures, and establishing trophic links between plants and consumers. Our findings highlight the importance of in situ sampling to establish reliable primary production baselines for local food webs.
Bladder exstrophy
Authors: Mendes Gustavo Gomes , Lusa Joel Rodrigo Beal
Published: June 2016

SUMMARY Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from failure of fusion of the middle of the pelvis line tissues during embryogenesis. It is characterized by malformation of the lower abdominal wall involving the genitourinary tract and the musculoskeletal system. Its incidence is estimated at 1:30,000 to 1:50,000 live births, and it is 2 or 3 times more frequent in males. The child’s age is important and the best results are obtained when treatment is performed shortly after birth.

Authors: Silva Soraia Aparecida da , Figueiredo Mariana Maciel Pereira de , Carneiro Neto Lauro , Reiss Débora Borowiak , Damásio Mariana Amaranto de Souza
Published: June 2016

SUMMARY Objective: To review the hypersensitivity reaction to drugs known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome), based on a case report. We also intend to discuss the difficulty and importance of disease recognition, since none of the changes is pathognomonic of this disease and failure to identify it may have disastrous consequences for the patient. Method: To describe this case report, in addition to the information collected for clinical assessment, a literature review was performed in the PubMed and Bireme databases in order to retrieve the latest information published in literature on DRESS syndrome. Results: The case of a 20-year old patient is reported. After anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory tests a diagnosis of DRESS syndrome was performed, characterized by rash, hematologic alterations, lymphadenopathy and lesions in target organ. This is a rare syndrome, whose frequency varies according to the drug used and the immune status of the patient, being more often associated with the use of anticonvulsants. Conclusion: The approach and discussion of the topic are of paramount importance, in view of the potential lethality of this treatable syndrome. Recognizing the occurrence of DRESS syndrome and starting treatment as soon as possible is crucial to reduce the risk of mortality and improve prognosis.

Published: June 2016

SUMMARY Introduction: Obstructive nephropathy is a frequent complication in the course of advanced cervical cancer (CC), and ultrasonography-guided percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is a well established technique for fast ureteral desobstruction. Objective: To identify possible factors related to the survival and quality of life of patients with advanced CC presenting acute urinary obstructive complications that after desobstruction by PCN recovered urinary flux and renal function. Method: This is an analytical, descriptive, cross-sectional study that included 45 patients with CC who underwent PCN and were divided into 2 groups: “death” (DG) and “survival” (SG), in a public hospital that is reference for oncologic diseases in Northern Brazil. Results: The mean serum creatinine of the patients preceding PCN was >10 mg/dL, and after PCN <2 mg/dL. The cutoffs of 8.7 g/dL for Hb (p=0.0241) and 27% for Ht (p=0.0065) indicated the values that better discriminate the outcomes of the groups. The presence of low blood pressure was statistically correlated (p=0.0037) to the outcome “death”. Changes in glomerular filtration rate (already reduced in all cases) were not associated to the levels of Hb/Ht or to the outcome “death” during the nephrological follow-up. Conclusion: PCN was responsible for the recovery of renal function in 61.7% of the patients, leading to interruption of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in all of those patients. Hb levels >8.7g/dL and Ht >27% were associated to longer survival, and the presence of low blood pressure during follow-up was associated with progression to death.

Published: June 2016

SUMMARY Objective: To determine the association between amniotic fluid index (AFI) and perinatal outcomes in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2008 and 2012. 86 pregnant women were included, with a diagnosis of PPROM and gestational age from 24 to 35 weeks. Women who presented hypertensive disorders, diabetes, fetuses with birth defects and infection at admission were excluded. To determine the association between AFI and perinatal outcomes, chi-square and Fisher’s exact test were used if necessary, as well as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95CI). Correlation between AFI and perinatal outcomes was determined by using simple linear regression, and AFI progression during pregnancy was analyzed by Z-test. Results: When comparing newborns presenting ultrasound with AFI<5cm and AFI>5cm, there was a higher frequency of perinatal mortality when the AFI was lower than 5 cm. However, when the oligohydramnios was diagnosed as severe (AFI<3cm), there was a higher frequency of Apgar scores less than seven at 1 minute, neonatal sepsis and early neonatal mortality compared to those presenting AFI>3cm. There was a positive correlation between AFI and gestational age at delivery, birth weight and Apgar scores at minutes 1 and 5. There was also a decrease in amniotic fluid volume with increased gestational age. Conclusion: The presence of severe oligohydramnios after PPROM contributed to a higher frequency of perinatal complications and death.
Agreement between three perioperative risk scores
Authors: Feitosa-Filho Gilson Soares , Loureiro Bruna Melo Coelho , Nascimento Jedson dos Santos
Published: June 2016

SUMMARY Objective: To evaluate the agreement between the three scores proposed by the II Guideline for Perioperative Evaluation of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC): the American College of Physicians algorithm (ACP), the Multicenter Study of Perioperative Evaluation (EMAPO) and Lee’s Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI). Method: Patients evaluated preoperatively for non-cardiac surgery by the anesthesiology service were classified as low, moderate or high-risk according to the 3 algorithms suggested by the II Guideline. To calculate the strength of agreement between the scores, the kappa agreement index was used. Results: Four hundred and one patients were included in the sample. Cohen’s kappa inter-rater agreement between scores was 0.270 (CI: 0.222 to 0.318), corresponding to a weak agreement. Analyzing in pairs, the best correlation was between EMAPO and ACP, with kappa = 0.327. Lee’s score was the one that classified more patients as low-risk: 98.3%, while EMAPO and ACP classified as low risk 91.3% and 92.5%, respectively. Conclusion: There is poor correlation among the risk scores proposed by the II Perioperative Evaluation Guideline of the SBC.
SUBJECTIVITY UNDER CONSUMERISM: THE TOTALIZATION OF THE SUBJECT AS A COMMODITY
Authors: Xavier Marlon
Published: June 2016

Abstract This theoretical work discusses consumerism's processes of subjectivation and their psychological consequences. Its regime is studied through its social imaginary and its totalitarian character: the discourse of advertising, as a global hegemon, absorbs all forms of discourse and signification, thereby actualizing capitalism's telos - the colonization of the Lebenswelt under a great imperative: everything must become a commodity, especially the subject. A process of totalization of subjectivity occurs under a commodification logic centered on the representation: every image must be transformed into commodity-signs. Thus the consumption imaginary appears as a totalizing ideology, functioning as archaic représentations collectives (Durkheim) and simulating a religious imaginary. It mass-produces subjectivity through participation mystique (Lévy-Bruhl) with its commodity-signs (and their fetish) and the whole imaginary. Its subject is defined as a bricolage of consumable commodity-signs, being therefore eternally fluid, performative, and ethereal. Thus it produces an anthropological mutation, the commodity-subject: a disposable, empty, thoroughly commodified self.
AQUI SE JAZ, AQUI SE PAGA: A MERCANTILIZAÇÃO DA MORTE
Authors: Veras Lana , Soares Jorge Coelho
Published: June 2016

Resumo Este artigo busca compreender o que os rituais funerários contemporâneos revelam sobre as maneiras com as quais as pessoas têm lidado com a morte e o morrer na atualidade. Desse eixo surgem reflexões sobre a relação dos homens com a finitude, evidenciando que os modos atuais de lidar com a morte e o morrer envolvem processos de mercantilização, patologização, medicalização e espetacularização. Esta publicação é oriunda de pesquisa de doutorado em psicologia social e apoiada metodologicamente em uma das vertentes da etnografia: a etnografia crítica. Foi realizada entre os anos de 2010 e 2014 no Brasil e em Portugal. O crescente uso de serviços funerários de "tanatoestética" aponta não somente técnicas de maquiagem dos mortos, mas também estratégias de maquiagem da morte. Essa dissimulação é sinalizada pela redução progressiva do espaço que a sociedade contemporânea destina ao luto e ao sofrimento, categorias cada vez mais equiparadas a condições patológicas.

Published: June 2016

Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender as configurações subjetivas da participação política de dirigentes partidários do Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira no Espírito Santo - PSDB/ES. Adota-se uma abordagem histórico-cultural, associada à discussão sobre participação política em partidos políticos. Trata-se de um estudo de caso baseado na epistemologia qualitativa de Gonzalez Rey (2003a). Os dados foram obtidos entre abril/2011 e março/2013, por meio de questionário, redação, observação participante, conversações grupais e individuais com dirigentes do PSDB/ES. Os resultados revelam configurações subjetivas da participação política singulares, construídas em torno de aspectos como: o constrangimento em assumir a participação política; sentir-se e não sentir-se dirigente; admirar ou criticar os quadros do partido; decepções com o sistema partidário brasileiro; desejo de adequações na gestão do partido e da política no Brasil. Conclui-se que motivações, barreiras e constrangimentos dos dirigentes geram ambiguidades, levando-os ao dilema entre participar (de maneiras distintas) ou não da política.

Abstract Introduction The biomechanical behavior of endodontically treated teeth depending on the selected restorative material and tooth situation to be restored. Objective To analyze by the two-dimensional finite element method the biomechanical behavior of different diameters in intraradicular posts and teeth with coronal remaining of 2mm. Material and method Six models were made with three types of posts, as follows: Glass fiber post, carbon fiber post, and cast metal post, both with diameter # 1 (1.1 mm in diameter) and # 2 (1.3 mm of diameter). The modeling was performed using the Rhinoceros 4.0 program. The FEMAP 10.2 and NEiNastran 9.2 programs were used to develop finite element models. The loading used was 100N for axial and oblique forces. The results were visualized using the von Mises stress map. The statistical analysis was made using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey post-test, with a significance level of 5%. Result The oblique loading stress values were higher than the axial loading (p<0.001) for both situations. The glass fiber post showed the lowest concentrations of stress on both loads (p<0.001). The carbon fiber post presented significant difference compared to the cast metal post, only in the oblique load (p=0.007). The diameter did not increase the stress of the evaluated posts (p=0.302). Conclusion The fiber posts were more favorable for restoration of endodontically treated teeth; the increase of diameter did not influence the increase of tension; the oblique load was more harmful for both posts and tooth structure.

Resumo Introdução A cavidade pulpar ainda é um mistério a ser desvendado, pois podem existir inúmeras ramificações que precisam ser esclarecidas para que o clínico possa interpretar e desenvolver o seu papel adequadamente. Uma das variações anatômicas que apresentam grande controvérsia na literatura é o reconhecimento da presença do canal cavo inter-radicular. Este canal tem origem no assoalho da câmara pulpar, percorre a dentina inter-radicular e alcança o ligamento periodontal na região de furca, constituindo uma das vias de comunicação entre o ligamento periodontal e o tecido pulpar, podendo servir como meio de contaminação. Objetivo Estudar a frequência do canal cavo inter-radicular em molares. Material e método Análise de cinco primeiros molares superiores, dez segundos molares superiores, dez primeiros molares inferiores e dez segundos molares inferiores, utilizando-se a microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Resultado Foi observada a presença de forames em 30% dos assoalhos e 50% das furcas dos primeiros molares inferiores, e 40% e 60% no assoalho e na furca dos segundos molares inferiores, respectivamente. O diâmetro desses forames variou de 32 µm até 312 µm. Conclusão A prevalência deste canal é muito variada ao se analisarem as diferentes metodologias.
Meta-Interpretation: Fifteen Years of Research with the Management Report

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT This paper deals with Brazilian empirical research published in journals between 2000 and mid-2015 that used, as a source of data, the Management Reports (MRs) released by publicly-traded companies together with their financial statements. MRs differ from each other, both in form as well as in substance, and due to this as well as to their other characteristics, they prove attractive for academic studies interested in official company discourse, more so because they involve documents that are public and retrievable over time, covering a substantial range of typically larger companies from different economic sectors. Driven by these characteristics, the goal of this study was to understand the way the academic world understands and uses the MR. The paper favored an interpretivist viewpoint, but used the triangulation allowed by the use of qualitative (content analysis) and quantitative (statistical, sociometric, and bibliometric analyses) methods. It was concluded that, for the core group of experts who dealt with the document, the MR is biased, incomplete, questionable, unclear, laborious, uncertain, but also useful - in the absence of another -, comprehensive, available, and retrievable over time. And it lends itself to the interest of company directors by increasing their value and at the same time legitimizing their companies, incorporating into discourse the use of contemporary management practices, consistent with the expectations of stakeholders. Finally, it suggests the possibility, unexplored in the articles analyzed, of employing the MR to study the dynamics of the institutionalization of administrative practices among companies in the country.
Médiatisation du processus de privatisation de ─ et dans ─ l'éducation en Amérique Latine et Caraïbes: une étude du discours des médias
Authors: Porta Eva da , Cianci Maria
Published: June 2016

RÉSUMÉ: L'article donne quelques résultats de l'enquête "Médiatisation et la privatisation en Amérique Latine", développé dans le cadre du projet Privatization in Education Research Initiative (Open Education Society - Campaña Latinoamericana por el Derecho a la Educación). Nous avons proposé de reconnaître les stratégies discursives des médias hégémoniques pour la promotion de la privatisation de l'éducation et les stratégies de médias alternatifs, qui considèrent l'éducation comme un droit humain. La méthodologie a été développée à partir de l'analyse du discours et de la théorie de Frame. Les principaux résultats indiquent que la stratégie de base des médias hégémoniques est de caractériser négativement l'enseignement public et et positivement privatisation de l'éducation et de profit. Pendant que les médias alternatifs se confrontent à la privatisation, ils reconnaissent l'Etat comme qui garantit l'éducation et donnent la parole aux acteurs qui exigent le respect des droits.
A Arte da improvisação musical ao teclado no Renascimento italiano: a didática do contraponto segundo
Authors: Porto Delphim Rezende
Published: June 2016

Resumo: Parte fundamental do exercício profissional do tecladista no Renascimento, a improvisação musical é o relevante tema do livro II da segunda parte do tratado Il Transilvano (1610). Única obra publicada pelo organista Girolamo Diruta (1554?-1610?), o Transilvano expõe em 'Diálogo' as preceptivas da arte da música de seu tempo e é Monumentum da memória dos principais mestres atuantes na Sereníssima República de Veneza no século XVI - Adriano Willaert, Gioseffo Zarlino e Claudio Merulo. Padre da ordem franciscana e reconhecido organista das igrejas catedrais de Chioggia e Gobbio, Diruta registra por extenso a fortuna do ensino da Fantasia ao teclado como ápice e fim de um profundo estudo do Contraponto e seus artifícios. A partir da exposição desses preceitos, o presente artigo pretende contextualizar a livre - mas "correta" - manipulação dos sons segundo aquela técnica histórica e oferecer ao seu leitor um panorama da didática da música renascentista.

Published: June 2016

Resumo: Existem diversas concepções a respeito de como desenvolver a projeção da voz no canto lírico, embora o recurso seja corriqueiramente enfatizado na prática desse estilo. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi o de identificar e analisar as principais formas de abordagem de ensino da projeção vocal no canto lírico, por professores atuantes nessa área. Segundo os participantes da amostra, cinco pontos de abordagem para uma efetiva projeção vocal no canto lírico são os aspectos que envolvem o corpo, a percepção/propriocepção do som, a utilização de imagens na didática e, principalmente, a respiração e a emissão da voz.
Ciências sociais e intelectualidade: ciência, educação e política
Authors: Moraes Lívia Bocalon Pires de
Published: June 2016

Resumo O artigo busca compreender as relações entre ciências sociais, análise sociológica e planejamento da educação pública escolar no Brasil, especialmente quanto à atuação de alguns cientistas sociais – Fernando de Azevedo, Anísio Teixeira, Florestan Fernandes e Darcy Ribeiro – visando à constituição e a modernização do país por meio da intervenção racional da intelectualidade na esfera estatal. Para isso, discute a noção de intelectual e a atuação de parte desse grupo social no Brasil, em diferentes momentos históricos, destacando a função social que atribuíam a si em cada contexto e a primazia que conferiam à educação formal como possibilidade de constituição de um novo país. Destaca as ações de Anísio Teixeira e Fernando de Azevedo, suas concepções acerca da sociologia e a educação, seu envolvimento com a Escola Nova e com a legislação educacional, e sua influência no pensamento e no trabalho intelectual e político de Florestan Fernandes e Darcy Ribeiro. Discute a compreensão desses dois autores acerca da função social do intelectual e da sociologia, seu envolvimento com a educação pública por meio de movimentos como a Campanha pela Defesa da Escola Pública, de cargos públicos na área educacional e da atuação político-partidária, e aponta similaridades, como a defesa da obrigatoriedade da escola pública, laica e gratuita, diante da diversidade de projetos e de pontos de vista concebidos por cada um eles. Aborda, por fim, o contexto institucional recente das ciências sociais no Brasil e os limites e possibilidades que essa condição oferece ao seu envolvimento com a questão educacional.
Plano educacional para uma biblioteca infantojuvenil: projetando ações e mediações
Authors: Carvalho Cristina
Published: June 2016

Resumo Este artigo apresenta os caminhos e resultados de uma pesquisa realizada na Biblioteca Infantojuvenil Maria Mazzetti (BIMM), localizada na Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O principal objetivo da investigação foi contribuir para a orientação das atividades realizadas na BIMM através da elaboração de um plano educacional, fornecendo, assim, subsídios para a sistematização do trabalho a ser desenvolvido na biblioteca. O pressuposto que orientou a investigação foi o de que aspectos como a formação humana, cultural e artística e a democratização da cultura e da educação são fundamentais em um campo que hoje se estende para além das instituições escolares. De modo geral, a pesquisa buscou: conhecer e analisar as atividades desenvolvidas na BIMM; ampliar o conhecimento dos usuários atuais e potenciais e de suas necessidades informacionais; identificar as atividades educativas e culturais adequadas ao perfil do público; fundamentar futuros projetos para a BIMM. Para a realização da investigação, foram utilizados como instrumentos de pesquisa a revisão bibliográfica, a análise documental, entrevistas, estudo de usuários, e – por peculiaridades do campo naquele momento – a pesquisa passou a se configurar como pesquisa-ação. Constatou-se que a elaboração de um plano educacional permite a construção do perfil da educação na instituição, mas que só será alcançado com o devido conhecimento do espaço e do público-alvo, a formação de uma equipe qualificada e o envolvimento de profissionais de diferentes áreas.

Published: June 2016

Resumo Esse estudo investiga os motivos que levam diferentes educadores a planejarem atividades com seus estudantes em um centro de ciências. Além disso, buscou-se: a) analisar as concepções desses educadores sobre o papel/função do centro de ciências; b) compreender, a partir das falas dos educadores, como se deu a sua participação durante a visita nesse espaço; c) identificar se há uma tentativa de articulação por parte dos educadores entre as ações desenvolvidas no contexto escolar e as atividades realizadas no centro de ciências. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório. Para a coleta de dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 15 educadores após a visita realizada com seus estudantes em um centro de ciências da Grande Vitória, no estado do Espírito Santo. Os resultados evidenciaram que o principal motivo estabelecido pelos educadores ao planejar visitas com seus estudantes no centro investigado é a possibilidade de vincular a teoria, que é discutida e ensinada no contexto escolar, com situações práticas envolvendo demonstrações/experimentações que constituem os principais elementos mediadores desses espaços. Esse resultado aponta para uma necessidade de reflexão/formação dos educadores no sentido de repensar as potencialidades educativas dos centros de ciências e as possíveis articulações a serem desenvolvidas com vistas às práticas pedagógicas estabelecidas no contexto escolar.
