SOB A LEI DO CÃO: O TRABALHO ESCRAVO NOS PRINCIPAIS CICLOS ECONÔMICOS DA AMAZÔNIA
Authors: Moraes Francisco Américo Martins
Published: September 2020

Este estudo se propõe investigar e compreender melhor como se deu a introdução do trabalho escravo e da sua consequente exploração de mentalidade colonialista na Amazônia, bem como a inter-relação entre os processos político, religioso e econômico, já a partir do fim da União Ibérica (1580-1640), no contexto dos principais ciclos econômicos, como, por exemplo, o da extração das drogas do sertão, passando pelo ouro na região guaporeana (hoje pertencente a Rondônia) e, posteriormente, pela voracidade do capital industrial nos dois ciclos da borracha, final do século 19 e início do século 20, e, finalmente, durante os anos decisivos da Segunda Guerra Mundial (1942-1945).

Published: September 2020

Em 2017, vivenciou-se uma drástica mudança no cenário político brasileiro. Foi nesse período que o Programa de Desenvolvimento Sustentável de Territórios Rurais (PRONAT), implementado desde 2004, foi encerrado, findando um ciclo da política pública de desenvolvimento territorial brasileiro. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se analisar a governança da política territorial no Rio Grande do Sul, destacando sua dinâmica, analisada a partir do cenário socioambiental dos territórios Litoral e Campos de Cima da Serra. O estado é o segundo com o maior número de territórios, abrangendo cerca de 85% de sua área. Dentre as estruturas de governança, destacam-se o Comitê Articulador Estadual e a Rede Estadual de NEDETs. Do total de 18 territórios rurais, 11 foram reconhecidos em 2013. Essa condição fez com que o estado acumulasse uma experiência de gestão na política territorial bastante diversificada, com ênfase na organização cooperativa do sistema de abastecimento de mercados institucionais e na inclusão da sociobiodiversidade.

Published: September 2020

O artigo visa analisar a relevância das práticas desenvolvidas no laboratório de alfabetização e letramento no processo de aquisição da leitura e escrita numa turma de primeiro ano. Optou-se por uma pesquisa qualitativa, de campo e documental, sendo utilizados entrevista semiestruturada, análise de planejamentos e registros fotográficos como instrumentos para o levantamento de dados. A análise de entrevista semiestruturada com as professoras revela sua busca por atualização e a necessidade em manter um contato mais direto entre as mesmas. Análise dos planejamentos demonstrou o cuidado da professora do laboratório em relacionar o estudo escolar com o cotidiano das crianças. Já os registros fotográficos indicam os desdobramentos das práticas pedagógicas que visam o desenvolvimento integral das crianças, colocando-as como protagonistas da aprendizagem, sendo produtoras do seu conhecimento e autoras de suas produções. Desse modo, entende-se que as atividades do laboratório de alfabetização e letramento têm contribuído significativamente para o avanço das crianças tanto na leitura quanto na escrita, mas este não deve ser um trabalho isolado, é necessária uma parceria eficaz entre laboratório, ensino regular e coordenação, como vem ocorrendo. Contudo, verificamos a necessidade de viabilizar encontros mais frequentes entre as professoras, possibilitando a proximidade das práticas.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Laboratório. Alfabetização. Letramento.

Published: September 2020

O presente artigo tem como foco principal discutir de que forma a autonomia do professor está presente na sua prática docente, com o objetivo de entender como a autonomia se faz presente. Para a construção do referencial teórico utilizou-se de autores e leis que estudam sobre autonomia e a prática do professor, tais como: BNCC (2018), Contreras (2002), Freire (2011), Köche (2009), Libâneo (2001), Sacristan (1998), Tardif (2002), Magnani (1993) e Mongardo (2003). A metodologia deste estudo é de caráter qualitativo para que ocorra a compreensão das características que constrói o processo da autonomia e enfatizar se os professores têm ou não autonomia. Para a coleta de dados foi aplicada uma pesquisa de campo com quatro professoras no município de Forquilhinha por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. Conforme as falas das entrevistadas, identificou-se que não existe autonomia, mas sim partem do que é estabelecido pelo munícipio. Além disso, a autonomia das entrevistadas é evidente a partir da elaboração dos seus planejamentos e, de forma ativa, ao participarem de reuniões e capacitações para melhor compreender o processo de ensino-aprendizagem.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Autonomia Docente.

Authors: Alarcón-Henríquez Alejandra , Licata Laurent , Leys Christophe , Van der Linden Nicolas , Klein Olivier , Mercy Aurélie
Published: September 2020

Este artículo examina el rol de la confianza intergrupal y el reconocimiento del sufrimiento pasado en las relaciones intergrupales. Un experimento con estudiantes belgas flamencos manipuló la importancia que belgas francófonos otorgaban a episodios del pasado de victimización para contrastar su impacto en las actitudes hacia los francófonos. Los resultado smostraron que las actitudes intergrupales eran más favorables en los belgas flamencos con alta confianza intergrupal cuando se les presentaba información que los francófonos juzgaban como importantes los sufrimientos de ambos comunidades, en comparación cuando la información solo enfatizaba el sufrimiento de los flamencos o de los francófonos. Estosugiere que un nivel de confianza intergrupo es necesario para que memorias compartidas de sufrimiento mejoren las actitudes.

RELASI PRIBUMI DAN KOLONIALIS DALAM CERPEN “KUTUKAN DAPUR” KARYA EKA KURNIAWAN (TINJAUAN POSTKOLONIAL)
Authors: Lestari Erawati Dwi
Published: September 2020

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memperlihatkan jejak-jejak kolonial dalam teks cerita pendek (cerpen) Kutukan Dapur (KD, 2005) karya Eka Kurniawan. Dengan menggunakan konsep postkolonial, ditemukan bahwa gambaran penindasan dan jejak kolonial dalam teks ini terwujud dalam bentuk diaspora, superioritas, orientalisme, dan mimikri. Namun, meski menghadirkan banyak bentuk penindasan, baik secara fisik maupun nonfisik, cerpen KD memberi ruang bagi pribumi untuk melakukan resistensi dalam wujud pemberontakan oleh pihak tertindas (subaltern) dan semangat meraih kemerdekaan. Melalui konsep subaltern dan konsep nasionalisme dalam ranah postkolonial, terlihat adanya kemungkinan runtuhnya dominasi kolonial dalam cerpen KD.

Optically Modulated Resistance Switching Polarities in BaTiO3 Thin Film
Authors: Wang Jing , Bedford Bailey , Chen Chanle , Miao Ludi , Luo Binghcheng
Published: September 2020

The light response and resistance switching behavior in BaTiO3 (BTO) films are studied for a symmetric Pt/BTO/Pt structure. The resistance of films as a function of time with and without ultraviolet light has been studied. Furthermore, resistance switching behavior was clearly observed based on the application of 365 nm wavelength ultraviolet light. Consequently, the polarities of resistance switching can be controlled by ultraviolet light when the energy is larger than the band excitation energy. It is proposed that the polarity of the resistance switching is dictated by the competition of the ferroelectricity and oxygen vacancy migration. This provides a new mechanism for modulating the state of ferroelectric resistive memory devices.

Measuring Setup for Investigation and Visualization of the Percolation Phenomenon in Non-Оrdered Models of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposites
Authors: Okal P.
Published: September 2020

The study uses the phenomenon of high voltage partial discharge to investigate the phenomenon of percolation and visualisation of the percolation channel. The phenomenon of partial discharges is very similar to the quantum tunneling phenomenon observed in metal-dielectric nanocomposites. In both cases the flow of alternating current occurs in the absence of direct contact between the metallic phase particles.

A measuring stand was developed and constructed to test models of metal dielectric nanocomposites using high voltage partial discharge. The stand consists of a 110 kV high voltage transformer, a voltage regulator protecting the constant rate of high voltage rise, a measuring system consisting of a measuring probe, voltmeters and a computer. The communication between the measuring probe and the voltmeter was made in digital technology with the use of fiber optic technology, which allowed the meter to communicate with the computer without any errors and eliminated the interference caused by a strong electromagnetic field resulting from the use of high voltage.

Systems modelling metal-dielectric composites were built, consisting of metallic elements in the form of disks, randomly distributed on the surface of the dielectric matrix. The number of disks was increased in series of 40 in each. The maximum number of disks was 1520. The dependence was determined of one of the important parameters characterising an partial discharge, i. e. the initial voltage, at which an electric current starts to flow between electrodes, on the concentration of the metallic phase. On the basis of these results, a percolation threshold was established for a matrix with a random distribution of metallic phase elements, the value of which is about 50 %. Films and pictures of partial discharges with visible percolation channels were taken with the camera with which the stand was equipped.

Published: September 2020

The nature of the molten electrode metal melting and transfer is the main process parameter of manual metal arc welding (MMA) with coated electrodes. It significantly affects the efficiency of the welding process. For this reason the relevant task is to identify the parameters of the transferred molten electrode metal drops and their further transfer into the weld pool with maximum accuracy. The aim of the given paper is to develop a method and visual representation of the form and the geometrics (volume, area, mass) of a molten electrode metal drop.

We have developed the method of simulation modeling and visualization for molten electrode metal drops transfer and their parameters. It allows obtaining highly reliable input data to be used for developing and verification of mathematical models for the thermal fields distribution along the welded item surface. The algorithm is realized as the calculation programs for specifying the molten metal drop parameters and means of its geometrics and space form visualization.

We used this method to specify a number of molten electrode metal drop parameters: volume, mass, center-of-gravity position, surface area.

We have established that it is possible to conduct the measurements with maximum

The suggested method significantly decreases the labor intensity of experimental studies aimed at specifying the size of electrode metal drops in comparison to the standard methods. When we know the size of the drops under certain welding conditions we can control the drop transfer process, i. e. reduce the heat input into the welded item and produce weld joints with the tailored performance characteristics.

Background:Dialysis recovery time (DRT) surveys capture the perceived time after HD to return to performing regular activities. Prior studies suggest the majority of HD patients report a DRT >2hours. However, the profiles of and modifiable dialysis practices associated with changes in DRT relative to the start of dialysis are unknown. We hypothesized hemodialysis (HD) dose and rates of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) would associate with changes in DRT in the first years after initiating dialysis.Methods:We analyzed data from adult HD patients who responded to a DRT survey ≤180 days from first date of dialysis (FDD) during 2014 to 2017. DRT survey was administered with annual KDQOL survey. DRT survey asks: “How long does it take you to be able to return to your normal activities after your dialysis treatment?” Answers are: <0.5, 0.5-to-1, 1-to-2, 2-to-4, or >4 hours. An adjusted logistic regression model computed odds ratio for a change to a longer DRT (increase above DRT >2 hours) in reference to a change to a shorter DRT (decrease below DRT <2 hours, or from DRT >4 hours). Changes in DRT were calculated from incident (≤180 days FDD) to first prevalent (>365-to-≤545 days FDD) and second prevalent (>730-to-≤910 days FDD) years.Results:Among 98616 incident HD patients (age 62.6±14.4 years, 57.8% male) who responded to DRT survey, a higher spKt/V in the incident period was associated with 13.5% (OR=0.865; 95%CI 0.801-to-0.935) lower risk of a change to a longer DRT in the first-prevalent year. A higher number of HD treatments with IDH episodes per month in the incident period was associated with a 0.8% (OR=1.008; 95%CI 1.001-to-1.015) and 1.6% (OR=1.016; 95%CI 1.006-to-1.027) higher probability of a change to a longer DRT in the first- and second-prevalent years, respectively. Consistently, an increased in incidence of IDH episodes/months was associated to a change to a longer DRT over time.Conclusions:Incident patients who had higher spKt/V and less sessions with IDH episodes had a lower likelihood of changing to a longer DRT in first year of HD. Dose optimization strategies with cardiac stability in fluid removal should be tested.

Background: Early prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is critical in choosing appropriate chemotherapeutic regimen for patients with locally advanced breast cancer. Herein, we sought to identify potential biomarkers to predict the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer patients. Methods: Three genomic profiles acquired by microarray analysis from subjects with or without residual tumors after NAC downloaded from the GEO database were used to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). An array of public databases, including ONCOMINE, cBioportal, Breast Cancer Gene Expression Miner v4.0, and the Kaplan Meir-plotter, etc., were used to evaluate the potential functions, related signaling pathway, as well as prognostic values of FABP7 in breast cancer. Anti-cancer drug sensitivity assay, real-time PCR, ﬂow cytometry and western-blotting assays were used to investigate the function of FABP7 in breast cancer cells and examine the relevant mechanism. Results: Two differentially expressed genes, including FABP7 and ESR1, were identified to be potential indicators of response to anthracycline and taxanes for breast cancer. FABP7 was associated with better chemotherapeutic response, while ESR1 was associated with poorer chemotherapeutic effectiveness. Generally, the expression of FABP7 was significantly lower in breast cancer than normal tissue samples. FABP7 mainly high expressed in ER-negative breast tumor and might regulate cell cycle to enhance chemosensitivity. Moreover, elevated FABP7 expression increased the percentage of cells at both S and G2/M phase in MDA-MB-231-ADR cells, and decreased the percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase, as compared to control group. Western-blotting results showed that elevated FABP7 expression could increase Skp2 expression, while decrease CDH1 and p27kip1 expression in MDA-MB-231-ADR cells. In addition, FABP7 was correlated to longer recurrence-free survival (RFS) in BC patients with ER-negative subtype of BC treated with chemotherapy. Conclusion: FABP7 is a potential favorable biomarker and predicts better response to NAC in breast cancer patients. Future study on the predictive value and detail molecular mechanisms of FABP7 in contribution to chemosensitivity in breast cancer is warranted.

Authors: Morshed Shamsul , Tasnin Most Naoshia , Ushimaru Takashi
Published: September 2020

Background: Microautophagy, which degrades cargos by direct lysosomal/vacuolar engulfment of cytoplasmic cargos, is promoted after nutrient starvation and the inactivation of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) protein kinase. In budding yeast, microautophagy has been commonly assessed using processing assays with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged vacuolar membrane proteins, such as Vph1 and Pho8. The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) system is proposed to be required for microautophagy, because degradation of vacuolar membrane protein Vph1 was compromised in ESCRT-defective mutants. However, ESCRT is also critical for the vacuolar sorting of most vacuolar proteins, and hence reexamination of the involvement of ESCRT in microautophagic processes is required.Results: Here, we show that the Vph1-GFP processing assay is unsuitable for estimating the involvement of ESCRT in microautophagy, because Vph1-GFP accumulated highly in the prevacuolar class E compartment in ESCRT mutants. In contrast, GFP-Pho8 and Sna4-GFP destined for vacuolar membranes via an alternative adaptor protein-3 (AP-3) pathway, were properly localized on vacuolar membranes in ESCRT-deficient cells. Nevertheless, microautophagic degradation of GFP-Pho8 and Sna4-GFP after TORC1 inactivation was hindered in ESCRT mutants, indicating that ESCRT is indeed required for microautophagy after nutrient starvation and TORC1 inactivation. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence for the direct role of ESCRT in microautophagy induction.

Background: In people with albinism (PWA), the deficiency of melanin increase the risk of skin cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of skin cancers and characteristics of these detected skin cancers (histological types, localization,) in PWA in 10 cities in Togo in 2019.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of medical records of PWA systematically examined during two mobile skin care clinics in 2019, as part of a programme for the prevention and management of skin cancers in these subjects. Results: During the study period, 280 (95.2%) of the 294 PWA consulted, had developed skin lesions. Of the 280 PWA, the pathological reports from the medical records of 33 patients (11.8%; (95%CI= [8.2-16.2]) had concluded to non-melanoma skin cancers. The mean age of these 33 patients was 38.6±15.2 years and the sex-ratio was 1. Their occupations were mainly resellers (21.2%), traders (15.2%) and farmers (12.2%). In the 33 patients, 54 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers were identified, with some patients having more than one tumor, and some of them having more than one (histologically confirmed) diagnosis. These 54 non-melanoma skin cancers were divided into 21 cases of invasive squamous cell carcinomas, 2 cases of Bowen’s disease and 31 cases of basal cell carcinomas. These non-melanoma skin cancers mainly occurred in the head and neck (33 cases; 61.1%), the upper limbs (15 cases; 27, 8%) and the trunk (4 cases; 7.4%).Conclusion: The results of this study show a high prevalence of skin cancers among PWAs in Togo in 2019, only non-melanoma skin cancers. In addition, they illustrate the role of ultraviolet rays with regard to the localization of skin cancers and the occupations of patients. Popularization and compliance with photo protection measures, systematic and regular examination of the skin of these PWAs will allow early detection and treatment of these skin cancers.

Background: The present study attempted to increase polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by improving the functional expression of the PhaC gene using various types of promoters, and the effects on PhaC activity in terms of PHB productivity, yield coefficient (YP/S) and molecular weights were investigated.Results: Here, the PHB biosynthesis operon of Cupriavidus necator A-04, isolated in Thailand with a high degree of 16S rRNA sequence similarity with C. necator H16, was subcloned into pGEX-6P-1, pColdI, pColdTF, pBAD/Thio-TOPO and pUC19 (native promoter) and transformed into E. coli JM109. To alter the expression of phaCAB biosynthesis genes, we optimized parameters in flask experiments to obtain high expression of soluble PhaCA-04 protein with high YP/S and PHB productivity. pColdTF-phaCABA-04-expressing E. coli produced 2.5±0.1 g/L (90.6±4.3%) PHB in 24 h, similar to pColdI-phaCABA-04-expressing E. coli. The amounts of phaC protein and PHB produced from pColdTF-phaCABA-04 and pColdI-phaCABA-04 were significantly higher than those from other promoters. Cultivation in a 5-L fermenter led to PHB production of 7.9±0.7 g/L with 90.0±2.3% PHB content in the cell dry mass (CDM), a YP/S value of 0.38 g PHB/g glucose and a productivity of 0.43 g PHB/(L×h) using pColdTF-phaCABA-04. The PHB from pColdTF-phaCABA-04 had Mw 5.79×105 Da, Mn 1.86×105 Da and PDI 3.11 and the film exhibited high transparency, Young’s modulus and tensile strength, possibly due to the trigger factor (TF) chaperones. Interestingly, when pColdI-phaCABA-04-expressing E. coli was used to produce PHB from crude glycerol and compared with pUC19-nativeP-phaCABA-04-expressing E. coli, the amounts of PHB were similar, but Mw 1.1×106 Da, Mn 2.6×105 Da and PDI 4.1 were obtained from pUC19-nativeP-phaCABA-04-expressing E. coli, indicating that slow and low expression could prolong and maintain phaC polymerization activity.Conclusions: This is the first report to demonstrate that the cspA promoter in a cold-inducible vector can improve PhaCA-04 expression levels, and TF chaperones show obvious effects on enhancing PhaCA-04 solubility. The high level of PhaCA-04 resulted in a high PHB amount, but the chain termination reaction of PhaC polymerization occurred faster than that with the slowed and low expression of phaCA-04 by the native promoter pUC19, which resulted in a low amount of high-molecular-weight PHB produced from crude glycerol.

Background Access to at least a basic water supply service and improved sanitation contributes to human heath and socio-economic development of a country. This study was conducted to assess the sanitation and water services coverage and related factors among dwellers of Negele town, Arsi zone, southeast EthiopiaMethod Two Kebeles (administrative units) were randomly selected from each of the three zones of the town to collect data via questionnaires from randomly selected households (380), via interview from purposely selected key informants (40) and via personal observation employing a cross-sectional survey design from April-May 2018. Data were analyzed using microsoft Excel program and results were expressed using table as frequencie and percentages . Result Latrine coverage of the town was low (45%) mainly due to shortage of land or fund and expansion of building illegal houses. Among the available latrines, 75% were closer than the recommended distance (6m) to kitchens, 52.3% lacked roofs, 53% lacked doors, and 100% lacked hole cover (sheet of metal or wood which are commonly advised to be put on the small hole of the latrines) and water to clean. Latrine lacking households defecate at various sites of the environment with problems on environmental sanitation, personal safety and health. Similarly, water service coverage was very low (7.6%) as a result of deficient water sources and non-functioning pipe lines forcing the people to use unprotected water sources or expend much time in fetching water from others’ private taps. The administration of the town had planned to build four public toilets and raise its water supply coverage to about 70% by 2018/2019.Conclusion Latrine and water service coverage of Negele town was so low implying it is not on a track to achieve the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goal target 6.1 and 6.2. This may intiate the admistration of the town to provide land, arrange loan or search for aids for the construction of standardized private and public toilets. Searching additional water sources like underground water and maintaining non-functional and/or constructing new pipe lines may also be promoted to improve the water service coverage of the town. The plan of the administration of the town should include long term plan, be public participatory and target the UN sustainable development goals.
