Os indígenas e a ancestralidade da festa da padroeira em Parintins, Amazonas
Authors: Corrêa Rosimay , Caldas Torres Iraildes
Published: September 2022

Na cidade de Parintins, no Baixo Amazonas, é realizada uma festa em honra à padroeira Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Essa devoção remonta ao século XIX, tendo sido introduzida por ummissionário da Ordem dos Carmelitas. A participação de devotos, romeiros e pagadores de promessas oriundos da região e de outros estados brasileiros transformam as homenagens à santa num grande evento esperado com alegria, fé e devoção. Este artigo visa discutir acerca da relação entre os indígenas e a ancestralidade da festa da padroeira em Parintins, noAmazonas, enfatizando ainda o processo de romanização conduzido pelos missionários do Pontifício Instituto das Missões Estrangeiras (PIME) e o simbolismo do sino na relação entre aMãe-Terra e a Mãe de Jesus. A pesquisa assumiu o aporte teórico-metodológico das Ciências Humanas e Sociais, em caráter dialógico e interdisciplinar, em especial entre Filosofia,Sociologia, Antropologia e História, tendo como suporte de campo minha tese de doutorado defendida em 2019. O lócus desta pesquisa compreende a paróquia de Nossa Senhora doCarmo pertencente à Diocese de Parintins, localizada nesse município. Ao final deste artigo, verificamos que a devoção a Maria, hibridizada a elementos da cultura indígena e ao arquétipo da Mãe-Terra, contribuiu para a forte devoção e crença na existência de um espírito feminino que rege a Amazônia e para a difusão do catolicismo nessa região.
Decolonialidade e bem viver
Authors: Guedelha Nunes Thainá , Gonçalves Furtado Lourdes
Published: September 2022

Diversos aspectos da nossa realidade refletem a colonialidade que ainda persiste em nossa sociedade e reforça padrões eurocêntricos e estadunidenses, incluindo a noção dedesenvolvimento. Esse discurso desenvolvimentista ganhou força e muitos lugares o aderiram na sua agenda como meta a ser alcançada, pois os países considerados subdesenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento também desejavam usufruir dos privilégios prometidos, mesmo que a maioria do seu povo pereça. Diante das atrocidades e da falência do dito desenvolvimento, a Ilha do Combu nos convida a refletir sobre essa lógica que nos foi imposta. Assim, neste texto busca-se apresentar o contexto da população ribeirinha que ali se consolidou de maneira diferenciada daquela da Belém continental e urbana. Trata-se de um ensaio antropológico de caráter qualitativo e etnográfico, que fez uso de pesquisa bibliográfica e de trabalho de campo. Este último foi realizado no período de 2010 a 2016, compreendendo a observação direta e participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e também conversas informais, que se mostraram uma rica fonte para compreender a cosmovisão e a realidade local. Os achados mostram que quando começou a se consolidar a ocupação da Ilha do Combu, o principal motivo era a busca por uma vida melhor, mais próxima do ritmo da natureza em contraposição ao ritmo “moderno”. Tendo em vista que o modo de vida construído na Ilha do Combu está na “contramão” do desenvolvimento do continente, pois reflete uma postura contrahegemônica por parte das comunidades, ele revela uma concepção de Bem Viver local, ainda que ali não seja empregado o termo em si.

Resumo
Dissociation between Attention-Dependent and Spatially Specific Illusory Shape Responses within the Topographic Areas of the Posterior Parietal Cortex
Authors: Arsenovic Ana , Ischebeck Anja , Zaretskaya Natalia
Published: September 2022

The human visual system consists of multiple topographic maps that extend from the early visual cortex (EVC) along the dorsal and ventral processing streams. Responses to illusory shapes within these maps have been demonstrated in the ventral stream areas, in particular the lateral occipital complex (LOC). Recently, the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) of the dorsal stream has been linked to the processing of illusory shapes defined by motion. It remains unclear whether the topographically organized parietal areas also respond to stationary illusory shapes, which would suggest their generic role in representing illusory content. In the current study we measured brain responses using fMRI while 30 human participants (12 male) observed flickering inducers around the fixation task. The inducers either formed an illusory diamond in the center, a triangle in the left or right hemifield, or were inverted such that no illusory figure was formed. We compared responses of parietal regions IPS0-IPS5 and SPL1 to each illusory figure with the nonillusory condition. To determine the role of attentional modulation on illusory shape responses we manipulated the difficulty of the fixation task. Our results show that all IPS areas responded to illusory shapes. The more posterior areas IPS0–IPS3 additionally displayed a preference toward contralateral shapes, while the more anterior areas IPS4 and IPS5 showed response attenuation with increased task difficulty. We suggest that the IPS can represent illusory content generated not only by moving, but also by stationary stimuli, and that there is a functional dissociation between attention-dependent anterior and spatially specific posterior topographic maps.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe traditional view of the ventral visual pathway being solely responsible for representation of objects has recently been challenged by demonstrating illusory shape representation within the dorsal visual pathway with moving bistable stimuli. Our results provide evidence for the dorsal stream contribution to representing not only moving, but also stationary illusory shapes. Our results also show a functional subdivision along the topographic maps, with spatially specific shape responses in the more posterior, and attention-dependent responses in the more anterior areas. These findings have implications for our understanding of the relationship between attention and grouping in healthy individuals and neuropsychological patients. Furthermore, IPS areas should be considered in theoretical accounts and models of how subjective content is generated in the brain.
Retinoic acid receptors at 35 years
Authors: Petkovich Martin , Chambon Pierre
Published: September 2022

For almost a century, vitamin A has been known as a nutrient critical for normal development, differentiation, and homeostasis; accordingly, there has been much interest in understanding its mechanism of action. This review is about the discovery of specific receptors for the vitamin A derivative, retinoic acid (RA), which launched extensive molecular, genetic, and structural investigations into these new members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators. These included two families of receptors, the RAR isotypes (α, β, and γ) along with three RXR isotypes (α, β, and γ), which bind as RXR/RAR heterodimers to cis-acting response elements of RA target genes to generate a high degree of complexity. Such studies have provided deep molecular insight into how the widespread pleiotropic effects of RA can be generated.

Authors: Huang Lili , Yao Xiaolin , Huang Yongtong , Wang Qingsong
Published: September 2022

With the use of Paulownia wood as a substrate and a vacuum impregnation method, CaCO3/wood composites were prepared. The XRD results showed that a variety of types of calcium carbonates coexisted in the composite and the elevated temperature was favorable for the aragonite type. The SEM results showed the modified wood retained the original wood structure and that CaCO3 was uniformly distributed in the wood cell cavity and clung to the wood cells. The mechanical testing results showed that the mechanical properties of all the composites were obviously improved; the maximum value of strength of compression (SC) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the CaCO3/wood composites were 32.23 MPa and 0.92 GPa, respectively, values 44.2% and 53.3% higher than those of the original wood. The maximum value of proportional limit (PL) of the composites was 29.4 MPa (38.5% increase from original wood). A cone calorimeter was used to investigate the flame retardation properties of CaCO3 on the composites. The value of the heat release rate and total heat release of composites were lower than those of the original wood; the CaCO3 wood composites showed good flame retarding effects.

Published: September 2022

Virgibacillus pantothenticus, Bacillus cereus, and B. subtilis were screened from an activated sludge that had become acclimated to white water in the laboratory. The effects of the pH on the ability of biological treatment to reduce the biological oxygen demand of white water was studied for three dominant bacteria. The pH ranged from 4 to 8, and the optimum treatment efficiencies for white water treatments with the single dominant bacterium V. pantothenticus, B. cereus, and B. subtilis occurred at pH values of 5, 6, and 6, respectively. The results also indicated that the best treatment effect was achieved at a hydraulic retention time of 14 h. When each dominate species was tested under their optimum pH value and hydraulic retention time, the chemical oxygen demand removal rate was 67.7%, 77%, and 75.4%; the electrical conductivity decreased by 0.18 mS/cm, 0.93 mS/cm, and 0.51 mS/cm; and the cationic demand decreased by 69.7%, 70.0%, and 70.9% for V. pantothenticus, B. cereus, and B. subtilis, respectively. These results are helpful for promoting the practical application of dominant bacteria in white water treatment.

Published: September 2022

This study investigated the effects of furfurylation on the acoustic vibration performance of Paulownia wood on the basis of improving dimensional stability. Paulownia wood was chemically modified with 25%, 50%, and 75% furfuryl alcohol and different curing times (8 h, 12 h, and 15 h). The dimensional stability of Paulownia wood was significantly improved after furfuryl alcohol modification. As indicators of acoustic vibration efficiency, the acoustic impedance (ω,), attenuation coefficient (δ), and periodic energy loss (tanδ/E) parameters were improved. The vibration sound evaluation indicator E/G was also evaluated. The best treatment conditions were 25% furfuryl alcohol and an 8 h curing time. Under these process conditions, the acoustic impedance ω, attenuation coefficient δ, and periodic energy loss parameter tanδ/E of the Paulownia wood increased by 21.1%, 156%, and 157%, respectively, the E/G indicator increased by 38.8%, and the specific dynamic elastic modulus E/r and acoustic quality constant R decreased by 36% and 45%, respectively. The sound quality was reduced under other process conditions.

Authors: Marçal Adriano de Figueiredo , de França Luiz Ferreira , Corrêa Nadia Cristina Fernandes
Published: September 2022

The waste generated from the palm oil production chain is increasing. The purpose of this work is to enable more effective use of empty fruit bunches (EFB) to produce reducing sugars by a hydrothermal treatment process (hydrothermolysis) at elevated pressures and temperatures. The EFB was dried and milled to obtain three different granulometries: thin (> 60 mesh), medium (28 to 60 mesh), and thick (< 28 mesh). The operating conditions were defined using a complete factorial design of 25, while considering the variables as particle size (thin, medium, and thick), solid/liquid ratio (1/13.33 and 1/20), temperature (130 and 170 ºC), reactor pressure using CO2 (150 bar and 200 bar), and reaction time (10 and 20 min). The reactional system converted the EFB into 17.5% and 57.9% of reducing sugars, for thin and medium samples, respectively, which were performed under the same conditions. The statistical analysis indicated that the main effects for hydrothermal treatment are time and temperature.
Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy in a Tight Circumferential Calcified Lesion in the Presence of Haematoma Extending into Left Main Coronary Artery After Rotational Atherectomy

Published: September 2022

Calcified disease increases procedural challenges and is associated with worse outcomes in percutaneous coronary intervention. Coronary intravascular lithotripsy is a new balloon-based modality for treating calcified disease with deep circumferential calcification. Its main benefit is simplicity and safety compared to atherectomy. However, atherectomy remains the modality of choice in balloon-uncrossable lesions. More than one modality is often needed for treatment of calcified disease. The authors present a case of a balloon-uncrossable calcified ostial left circumflex lesion which was first treated with rotational atherectomy. However, there was haematoma formation in the ostial circumflex extending into left main coronary artery, together with suboptimal preparation of calcified disease. Intravascular coronary lithotripsy was then used to successfully prepare the calcified lesion for stenting without causing extension of the haematoma.

One of the most effective, rapid, and simple methods reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used for simultaneous development and validation of Eletriptan hydrobromide (ELE HBR) and Itopride hydrochloride (ITP HCL) in combination. The method was validated based on the regulations of United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Separation of both drugs was achieved within approximately 5 min by using a mobile phase made up of a 70:30 ratio of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile having a flow rate of 1 mL min−1. Furthermore, a comprehensive study was conducted on precision, accuracy, linearity, inter-day, intra-day studies, an assay of formulated films, and stability studies of combined prepared film. Co-efficient of correlation ranged between 0.9993, and 0.9965 for ELE HBR and ITP HCL respectively. The accuracy of the developed method was accurate as drug recoveries in both cases of ITP HCL, and ELE HBR falls between (99.87, 99.96, and 99.84%) to (99.81, 99.12, and 98.44%) respectively having a concentration range of solutions between 10, 30 and 50 μg mL−1 dilution. Films developed by using both drugs in combination were then validated for assay studies, and it was found that substantial results of 99.05%, and 99.87% were found in the case of ITP HCL and ELE HBR respectively. The stability of the solution and mobile phase showed the method's accuracy as the results were 97% for ITP HCL and 99% for ELE HBR. The proposed method developed for simultaneous determination of ITP HCL and ELE HBR was developed and validation and no interaction of any excipient were found.

The demand for automation using mobile robots has been increased dramatically in the last decade. Nowadays, mobile robots are used for various applications that are not attainable to humans. Omnidirectional mobile robots are one particular type of these mobile robots, which has been the center of attention for their maneuverability and ability to track complex trajectories with ease, unlike their differential type counterparts. However, one of the disadvantages of these robots is their complex dynamical model, which poses several challenges to their control approach. In this work, the modeling of a four-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot is developed. Moreover, an intelligent Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) neural network control methodology is developed for trajectory tracking tasks, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized to find optimized controller's weights. The simulation study is conducted using Simulink and Matlab package, and the results confirmed the accuracy of the proposed intelligent control method to perform trajectory tracking tasks.
Modulation of the intestinal microbiota impacts the efficacy of immunotherapy in cancer patients – A recent literature survey
Authors: Ziegler Stella , Bereswill Stefan , Heimesaat Markus M.
Published: September 2022

In line with the current development of individualized cancer treatments, targeted and specialized therapeutic regimens such as immunotherapy gain importance and factors improving its efficacy come into the focus of actual research. Given the orchestrated interaction of the intestinal microbiota with host immunity the modulation of the human gut microbiota represents a therapy-enhancing factor. We therefore performed an actual literature survey on the role of the gut microbiota composition and the effects of its modification during immunotherapy of cancer patients. The included 23 studies published in the past 10 years revealed that both, distinct bacterial species and genera including Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Bifidobacterium, respectively, enhanced distinct immunotherapy responses following PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 blockage, for instance, resulting in a better clinical outcome of cancer patients. Conversely, a high intestinal abundance of Bacteroidetes and Fusobacterium species correlated with a less efficient immunotherapy resulting in shorter progress-free survival outcomes. In conclusion, modifications of the gut microbiota by fecal microbiota transplantation or application of probiotic compounds represent potential adjunct options for immunotherapy in cancer patients which needs to be further addressed in future trials to provide individually tailored and safe adjuvant therapeutic measures in the combat of cancer.

On the Edge
Authors: Finkin Jordan , Minkoff Nokhum
Published: September 2022

Nokhum Borukh Minkov (1893–1958) was born to a modern-thinking family in Warsaw. Though his mother was much more comfortable in Yiddish, his Russified father forbade Yiddish in the home. Minkov came to the U.S. just before the outbreak of World War I, first to San Francisco, where he wanted to study medicine, and then to New York, where he ended up at NYU Law School. There he befriended Yankev Glatshteyn, also a law student, and fell in with the Yiddish literary crowd. In those early days he could often be seen in the cafes doggedly studying Yiddish, pestering his soon-to-be-fellow poets about vocabulary and points of grammar. Though he would ultimately author five books of poetry, he is today noted and remembered primarily for his later works of literary critical scholarship, including studies of Elye Bokher and Glikl Hamel, as well as Classic Yiddish Poets (1939), Six Yiddish Critics (1954), and his three-volume masterwork Pioneers of Yiddish Poetry in America (1956)
Göçün 60. Yılında Almanyalı Türkler: Zonguldak İli Örneği

Published: September 2022

İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra Almanya’nın başta demir çelik olmak üzere ağır sanayide atılım gerçekleştirmiştir. Ancak ülkede ciddi işgücü açığının oluşması neticesinde, ilk etapta 1955’te İtalya, 1960'ta İspanya ve Yunanistan ile işgücü anlaşmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonra Türkiye ile Almanya arasında 30 Ekim 1961 tarihinde işgücü anlaşması imzalanmıştır. Bu tarihten sonra Türkiye’den Almanya’ya yoğun bir göç yaşanmış ve ülkedeki Türk nüfusu göçün 60. Yılında yaklaşık 3 milyona erişmiştir. Bugün Almanya’daki Türk nüfus dördüncü nesle ulaşmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması olarak ele alınan bu çalışmada, Zonguldak ilinden 1961-1980 yılları arasında Almanya’ya göç etmiş ve orada yaşamış olan 50 yaşın üzerinde kadın ve erkek bireyler ile yapılan mülakatlar neticesinde Zonguldak ili özelinde Almanya’ya gerçekleştirilen göçün sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel yanları ile toplumsal ve mekânsal yansımaları irdelenmiştir.Çalışmada, Zonguldak ilinden Almanya’ya göç edenlerin genellikle İş ve İsçi Bulma Kurumu (İŞKUR) kanalıyla Ruhr havzasına gittikleri ve burada maden sektörü ile demir çelik ve makine sanayi gibi alanlarda istihdam edildikleri, Almanya’da dünyaya gelen ikinci ve üçüncü kuşak bireylerin daha çok hizmetler sektörüne yöneldiği, göç eden ailelerin tamamına yakınının yatırım için Türkiye’yi tercih ettikleri, kazançları ile konut ve arsa gibi gayrimenkullere yatırım yapmayı tercih ettikleri, göç eden ailelerinin çocuklarının Türkiye’ye aidiyet duygularının zayıflayarak da olsa devam ettiği, ancak torunlarının bağlarının kopuk olduğu gibi bulgulara ulaşılmıştır.
Perioperative nursing education in Brazil: reviewing the past to survive the future

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objectives: to summarize historical aspects related to perioperative nursing education in Brazil and to outline future perspectives. Methods: a descriptive-reflexive essay about the historical process of Brazilian perioperative teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels. Results: the reflection addresses the historical axes of perioperative nursing, teaching perioperative nursing, curriculum changes, graduate studies and relationship with the perioperative period and trends in perioperative nursing education. Curriculum changes reduced time available for teaching and learning, with a focus on the perioperative period, and diluted contents of surgical nursing in other subjects, which could cause irreversible losses for generalist nurses’ training. Final Considerations: when reviewing historical aspects of national nursing curricula, it was found that the nomenclature perioperative nursing was never used in the curriculum, however, the surgical area has always been contemplated in undergraduate and graduate studies. Future trends indicate the need to integrate themes and prepare professionals with perspectives focused on global health and technology.

Palliative care in emergency care: invoking Kairos and rethinking health care systems
Authors: Ribeiro Diego Lima , de Carvalho Filho Marco Antonio
Published: September 2022

Acute crises of decompensation of a chronic disease are, in most cases, handled in an Emergency Room setting. In these services, emergency care professionals face several challenges, such as incomplete information on the patient’s disease, scarce resources, and the pressure of having to make decisions in a short time. In this context, what can be done to provide patient-centered care that is at the same time technically appropriate and aligned with their values? Understanding the patient's situation in relation to their disease; talking to the patient about their clinical condition, comprehending their values and feelings; and understanding time as Kairos - that is, the time of the consultation as an opportunity to understand the patient’s needs and build a shared therapeutic plan - are possible solutions to this challenge. Proper handling of patients with severe diseases requires that all links of health care systems are functional and coordinated from primary health care to hospital and home care, starting with the education of health care professionals and the strengthening of work settings that foster the expression of Kairos. This is a long and fundamental path for health care systems such as the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) and that health managers and professionals should not afford to ignore.
Palliative care: pathway in primary health care in Brazil
Authors: Rodrigues Luis Fernando , Silva João Felipe Marques da , Cabrera Marcos
Published: September 2022

In 2022, an important international report was published on the “value of death” not only in the field of health, but in relation to human societies in general. This report proposed to reimagine systems related to end of life in which death is understood not only as a physiological event but also as a relational and spiritual phenomenon with a value of its own and inseparable from life. It identifies the low priority given by most governments worldwide to the issue of alleviating suffering and supporting bereavement, evidenced by the low investment in palliative care. At the same time, we are witnessing in Brazil changes that threaten the feasibility of palliative care policies in primary health care. The denial of finitude within health systems is reflected in global indicators such as the quality of death index of The Economist magazine, in which Brazil ranks 42nd, the global atlas of palliative care of the World Hospice and Palliative Care Alliance, where Brazil is in level 3b, and the global trends in opioid consumption of International Narcotics Control Board of the World Health Organization, in which opioid consumption in Brazil is in the hundreds of doses per million inhabitants per day. Despite notable advances in the legislative and executive fields with regard to palliative care, the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) and primary health care have suffered important structural setbacks that will impact the design of public policy for palliative care. The goal of this article is to undertake an initial analysis of the impacts of current policies within this context and their repercussions in the construction of a solid policy for palliative care.

Abstract The sucking insect, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), is originally from Australia and reduces the productivity of Eucalyptus crops. The parasitoid Psyllaephagus bliteus Riek (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) is the main agent used in the integrated management of G. brimblecombei. Endosymbionts, in insects, are important in the adaptation and protection of their hosts to the environment. The intracellular symbionts Wolbachia, induces reproductive changes such as cytoplasmic incompatibility, feminization, male death and parthenogenesis. The objective of this study was to report the first record of Wolbachia pipientis in populations of G. brimblecombei and of its parasitoid P. bliteus in the field in Brazil. Branches with adults of G. brimblecombei and P. bliteus were collected from eucalyptus trees in commercial farms in six Brazilian states and, after emergence, the insects obtained were frozen at -20 °C. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the Wolbachia endosymbiont. Wolbachia pipientis was identified in individuals of G. brimblecombei and its parasitoid P. bliteus from populations of the counties of Agudos and Mogi-Guaçu (São Paulo State), Itamarandiba (Minas Gerais State) and São Jerônimo da Serra (Paraná State) in Brazil.

Published: September 2022

Resumen Gerda Wegener y Lili Elbe fueron dos artistas y mujeres transgresoras danesas que alcanzaron un gran éxito profesional y reconocimiento internacional, especialmente Wegener en el campo de la ilustración. Debido al importante papel que Gerda tuvo en la prensa ilustrada de principios del siglo XX, ambas se trasladaron a París, donde desarrollaron una vida de modernidad y fama. Los avatares de su vida personal hicieron que ambas fueran apartadas de la escena artística y confinadas en el olvido, principalmente por el hecho de que Elbe fuera la primera persona en someterse a una operación de reasignación de sexo. Hoy, gracias al reciente interés que han suscitado y a los estudios de género aplicados a la Historia del Arte, vamos despejando las incógnitas en torno a ellas. Los documentos personales que se han conservado, así como las notas de prensa contemporáneas a la pareja, nos demuestran la importancia que constituyen sus obras y sus experiencias pioneras.

ABSTRACT Cancer is a disease that has disordered cell growth with the formation of tumors. The most common types of childhood and adolescent childhood cancer are leukemias, tumors of the central nervous system, and lymphomas. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of those responsible for oral health practices and care of children assisted in the Polyclinic of Natal, who underwent antineoplastic treatment. In addition to knowing the main oral health practices performed by those responsible. Methods: A quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out in the Natal Polyclinic Unit (Liga Norte Riograndense Contra o Câncer), located in Rio Grande do Norte. The sample consisted of 41 questionnaires applied individually to those responsible for the children aged 0 to 12 years who underwent cancer treatment, during March and April 2018. Results: It was found that 51% of the responsible identified some oral health problem in their children, and 43.9% of the children had already been affected by mucositis. Of the 41 hospitalized patients, 90.2% were accompanied by a dental surgeon during the antineoplastic treatment. Conclusion: The responsible ones had a great perception of the children’s oral health problems and knew the importance of the participation of the dentist during the are treatment. There is a need for more research on the subject, to establish a care protocol with oral hygiene of children hospitalized with cancer.

RESUMO Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência de um sistema constituído de reator UASB seguido de pós-tratamento com reator de lodo granular aeróbio (LGA) no tratamento de água residuária de suinocultura (ARS) para fins de disposição em solo arenoso. Para tanto, foram avaliadas as características do efluente tratado e do solo proveniente de um local de disposição, assim como foram determinados os parâmetros de mobilidade de contaminantes como coeficiente de dispersão, dispersividade, fator de retardamento e número de Péclet. A ARS tratada foi percolada em regime de fluxo permanente em colunas de solo saturado. Foram geradas curvas de eluição (breakthrough curves), obtendo-se os parâmetros de transporte do ajuste da equação de transporte de solutos no solo. O solo utilizado foi caracterizado como neossolo quartzarênico com textura arenosa. Foi observado que, apesar de o tratamento UASB-LGA apresentar altas eficiências de remoção para demanda química de oxigênio, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, sólidos suspensos totais, nitrogênio e fósforo, a ARS tratada ainda não atendia a alguns parâmetros de lançamento em corpos hídricos ou disposição no solo previstos na legislação vigente. Com exceção do fosfato e do potássio, os íons apresentaram tendência à movimentação no solo e à contaminação do lençol freático.
Caracterização físico-química dos 5 primeiros milímetros da precipitação obtida de um amostrador para uso na irrigação da agricultura urbana em Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, Brasil

RESUMO Analisar a qualidade da água pluvial para utilizá-la em práticas de agricultura na região urbana de Tangará da Serra (MT) é essencial como estratégia de desenvolvimento urbano, visto que o município tem enfrentado crise hídrica nos últimos anos. No presente trabalho, objetivou-se classificar a qualidade dos 5 primeiros milímetros da água pluvial para compreender a condição de descarte inicial, avaliando a viabilidade de seu uso na irrigação da agricultura urbana, segundo as diretrizes da Organização das Nações Unidas para Alimentação e Agricultura (FAO), bem como as possíveis fontes geradoras dos compostos químicos mensurados. Para tanto, foram realizadas análises laboratoriais e estatísticas dos parâmetros de qualidade potencial hidrogeniônico, bicarbonatos, condutividade elétrica, total de sais dissolvidos, cálcio, magnésio, dureza total, cloretos, sódio e potássio de amostras coletadas no período de outubro de 2019 a abril de 2020. Os resultados demonstraram que as concentrações dos compostos químicos avaliados foram maiores no milímetro inicial de chuva, melhorando a qualidade da água ao longo da precipitação. A classificação realizada com as diretrizes da FAO mostrou que não há restrição no uso da água pluvial do município para irrigação da agricultura urbana. Entretanto, é possível que tanto fontes com origens naturais quanto antrópicas tenham influenciado nas concentrações dos compostos químicos monitorados. Assim, como a atmosfera local pode fornecer elementos que estão relacionados com a alteração das características naturais da água pluvial, o descarte dos milímetros iniciais para o uso dessa água é uma opção viável para a irrigação de espécies cultivadas no quintal das edificações.

RESUMO A Avaliação de Risco Ecológico (ARE) é uma etapa importante do gerenciamento de áreas contaminadas. Contudo, a ausência de critérios na seleção das áreas alvo para a aplicação da ARE no Brasil ou a simples adoção de um critério binário (ausência/presença de receptores ecológicos) não são suficientes para a priorização da ARE. A definição de critérios de priorização é fundamental nos países em desenvolvimento com grande diversidade ecológica e escassez de recursos técnicos e financeiros. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho compreende a aplicação do processo analítico hierárquico (AHP) para classificar as áreas com maior prioridade de aplicação da ARE, com ênfase nos impactos de vazamentos de petróleo e derivados. Foram realizados um levantamento de critérios internacionais de inclusão e exclusão da ARE, a integração desses critérios no método AHP e a aplicação da metodologia em 12 áreas contaminadas por hidrocarbonetos. Os resultados revelaram que esta abordagem possui potencial para auxiliar órgãos ambientais, consultores e partes interessadas no gerenciamento de áreas contaminadas, permitindo mensurar e adequar as ações às especificidades de cada local de forma mais criteriosa, priorizando a aplicação dos recursos disponíveis para as áreas de maior relevância ecológica.

Abstract The article analyzes the institutional policies of the UFSCar and their repercussions in the evaluation and management practices based on the current processes of reconfiguration of the evaluation and regulation policies and procedures of Brazilian higher education, in the context of the Program of Support for Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities (Reuni). From a documental study and semi-structured interviews with institutional agents, it takes as object of study the control mechanisms, having as categories and subcategories: contractualization procedures (definition of goals); institutional policies (actors: roles and responsibilities; management actions); and performativity (regulatory processes; distance control; evaluation processes; and accountability). The results indicate that, despite the convenience of UFSCar’s adherence to Reuni, due to the compatibility of the objectives of expansion and the managerial model adopted, the program ended up intensifying mechanisms of the New Public Management that were already present in the management of the university. This had a direct impact on the management of the institution: the internal bureaucracy incorporated external control mechanisms, meeting the demand for distance control, generated new demands and emphases, creating new administrative problems, and making explicit some of the university’s deficiencies from its expansion process through Reuni.

Published: September 2022

Resumo A mobilidade internacional de estudantes é um fenômeno de crescente importância no cenário da educação superior. Nota-se nos últimos anos um crescimento de estudos na literatura e investigações acerca deste tema. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo exploratório, cujo objetivo foi analisar as motivações e fatores de decisão no processo de mobilidade dos estudantes universitários brasileiros que elegeram a Espanha para seus estudos superiores. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa quantitativa, escala de Likert de 3 pontos, com 216 estudantes membros da comunidade estudantil brasileira na Espanha, distribuídos nos cursos de graduação, mestrado e doutorado, e o uso de fontes de dados estatísticos. A comparação entre os estudos anteriores da literatura e os resultados deste estudo demonstraram que os fatores nível acadêmico do centro e prestígio e perspectivas de futuro são coincidentes em ambos. De fato, esses fatores estão entre os mais significativos em quase todos os estudos de mobilidade internacional e também foram destacados pelos pesquisadores, confirmando a importância desses fatores na decisão de estudar no exterior. Por outro lado, entre os fatores que se apresentaram como mais relevantes no fluxo de estudantes brasileiros à Espanha, destacaram-se a experiência internacional, as bolsas de estudos, a imagem e cultura do país, o prestígio e as perspectivas futuras e o idioma espanhol.
