RISCOS DE ADOECIMENTO NO TRABALHO DE FISIOTERAPEUTAS: UMA ABORDAGEM PSICODINÂMICA
Authors: Carvalho Daniel Milanez , Garcia Fernando Coutinho
Published: October 2016

Com fundamento nos conceitos da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho (PDT), este estudo buscou analisar os riscos de adoecimento no trabalho de fisioterapeutas com atuação em organizações da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. Em um estudo de casos múltiplos, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida com apoio de metodologia qualitativa e descritiva. Utilizou-se como instrumento de pesquisa a entrevista semiestruturada, com base no Inventário de Trabalho e Riscos de Adoecimento (ITRA) de Mendes e Ferreira (2007), e, a análise dos dados coletados deu-se por meio da técnica de Análise de Núcleos de Sentidos (ANS), com base na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2004). Os resultados apontam quem os fisioterapeutas estão sujeitos a contradições no contexto de trabalho, as quais geram mais vivências de sofrimento e podem colocar sua saúde em risco. Alguns quadros patológicos já são observados, revelando estratégias defensivas ineficazes, ficando assim mais propensos ao adoecimento. Pode-se constatar uma fragilidade no aspecto coletivo, o que prejudica sua afirmação profissional e as vivências de prazer. Recomenda-se a adoção de políticas de integração e valorização deste profissional, tanto no âmbito das organizações, quando no campo social.

Published: October 2016

The informational economy is the basis of the network society, and promoted the creation of big technological parks, located at Silicon Valley in the USA, Sophia-Antipolis in France, and Cambridge in the UK in the late 20th century (CASTELLS, 2003). This paper studies the Beta Technology Innovation Park, its actors, and the relationships between them. The study becomes relevant when it comes to local development of Brazil, especially after the 2008 03/08 CMC (Conselho do Mercado Comum – Common Market Council), signed by Mercosur countries, when the legal landmark Science, Technology and Innovation 2008 – 2012 began. Regulation SC@2022 reinforces the State-of-the-art Innovation Program of the state of Santa Catarina, where Beta Technology Innovation Park is located, and which encourages the goal of transforming the state into a reference of innovation in sustainability in Brazil and worldwide. This paper uses the quantitative methodology of study through the UCINET system. The aim of this paper is to define the main actors involved, their relationships and the degrees of relationships. Through the analysis, it was possible to outline the typology of the Beta Park network and the source and intensity of relations between the actors, according to the indicators: centrality, density, intensity, importance, and degree. These results will assist with integration strategies, strengthening, expansion and development of networks.
Experimental use of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) wetland for treating flowing waters in an urban park in Brazil
Authors: Capuano Mascarenhas Luciana , Vieira Mello Junior Arisvaldo
Published: October 2016

This study tested water treatment wetlands in an urban park located in São Paulo, Brazil. Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) was introduced into two creeks inside the park, to assess the efficacy of wetlands in treating flowing waters. The plant adaptation to local conditions was very good. Higher removals were obtained in Total Suspended Solids, Turbidity and Color (maximum removal > 70%); TKN, Total Phosphorus and Fecal Coliforms had satisfactory removals (maximum removal > 50%). BOD presented low removals and Dissolved Oxygen was consumed, indicating that aerobic processes occurred. Despite the experiment’s difficulties and results’ variance, the study shows that water hyacinth has potential to treat flowing water, especially when there’s an urgent need for meeting sanitary and aesthetical standards in urban parks.
“JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA POLÍTICA”: ARQUEOLOGIA DE UM CONCEITO
Authors: De Borba Barreto Alvaro Augusto , Graeff Caroline Bianca
Published: October 2016

O artigo parte da formulação de Tate e Vallinder sobre a expressão “judicialização da política” (e sua correlata “expansão global do poder judicial”), procura testar os elementos epistemológicos e analíticos que ela fornece, bem como verificar a capacidade explicativa que apresenta. Está baseado em revisão bibliográfica e procura testar o pressuposto que essa expressão não tem capacidade explicativa, pois é imprecisa, ambígua e se refere a uma temática já diagnosticada e abrangida pela discussão em torno do judicial review.
A IRRELEVÂNCIA DO CONCEITO DE SOBERANIA PARA HANS KELSEN
Authors: Da Silveira Souza Rubin Assis
Published: October 2016

O presente artigo aborda o problema da soberania para Hans Kelsen. Tem como objetivo analisar a posição do autor sobre o tema (especialmente através do texto Sovereignty), traçando paralelamente algumas considerações. Ocorre que para Kelsen o conceito de soberania mostra-se impreciso a partir da doutrina tradicional. Ainda, mesmo superando essa doutrina e a teoria dualista, também o conteúdo do direito nacional e internacional permanece inalterado. Portanto, prova-se a irrelevância de tal para a teoria jurídica.
A PROTEÇÃO JURÍDICA CONTRA O TRABALHO EM CONDIÇÕES ANÁLOGAS À DE ESCRAVO
Authors: Gonçalves Ferreira Manuela Fernanda
Published: October 2016

O objetivo do presente trabalho é a análise da proteção jurídica ao trabalhador que encontrar-se em situação análoga à de escravo. Tal exame foi realizado sob o viés do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. Busca-se demonstrar que o referido princípio garante uma maior e mais abrangente proteção ao trabalhador explorado irregularmente e consequentemente na concretização fidedigna do que corresponde à dignidade da pessoa humana. O trabalho escravo ainda é uma realidade no contexto brasileiro, especialmente quando se trata de estrangeiros imigrantes, situação que merece ser tratada com olhar descolonizador, em uma perspectiva que tenha como ponto de partida os direitos humanos.
LA VIOLENCIA AL INICIO DE LA VIDA: UNA PERSPECTIVA BIOÉTICA Y DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS
Authors: García Fernández Dora
Published: October 2016

Violencia es actuar fuera de su natural estado, es ejecutar con fuerza, ímpetu o brusquedad o algo que se hace contra el gusto o la voluntad de uno mismo.  El fenómeno de la violencia siempre ha afligido a la humanidad como lo demuestra la historia.  Actualmente, como fenómeno global, se considera por muchos como un problema de salud pública, debido a las múltiples causas que la producen se dificulta la percepción de su dimensión real.Desde la perspectiva de la Bioética se interpreta la violencia como una forma de relación humana donde existe el deseo de hacer mal, lesionando la autonomía del otro, donde se vulneran los principios bioéticos universales. Así también se considera la violencia una forma de inequidad o falta de justicia, cuando se quebrantan los derechos humanos y se atenta contra la vida y la dignidad de la persona humana. En esta investigación se quiere comprobar que la violencia existe desde el inicio de la vida, porque es justamente ahí donde comienza el problema de los abusos, malos tratos y violencia contra el ser humano no nacido.

Published: October 2016

O presente artigo tem como finalidade destacar a adesão do Brasil ao modelo de constitucionalismo garantista apresentado por Luigi Ferrajoli, o qual impõe o respeito aos direitos fundamentais assegurados na Constituição Federal, e sua contraposição ao posicionamento adotado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal quando do julgamento da Arguição de Descumprimento Fundamental n. 153, o qual tinha como pretensão a declaração de inconstitucionalidade da Lei n. 6683/79, a chamada “Lei da Anistia”. Além disso, pretende ainda colocar em relevo a desconsideração do sistema internacional de proteção aos direitos humanos e suas possíveis consequências.
A CORRUPÇÃO COMO FATOR IMPEDITIVO DA DEMOCRACIA: UMA LEITURA DA OBRA GLÓRIA INCERTA APLICADA AO BRASIL
Authors: Silva Adamir André
Published: October 2016

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o tema inerente ao problema da corrupção como fator impeditivo da democracia. A corrupção condena a sociedade ao subdesenvolvimento ao gerar a desigualdade. A corrupção é a negação das promessas Constitucionais e, uma barreira à efetivação dos direitos fundamentais. Nesta seara, o problema versa sobre: Em que medida a corrupção e/ou aumento da corrupção torna-se um fator impeditivo para a  democracia ou para um Estado Democrático de Direito. Percebe-se que as causas que elevam este índice minimizam a efetivação da democracia; a corrupção está inserida nas instituições políticas e sociais, todavia, é necessária uma mudança de valores culturais e cívicos capaz de potencializar um Estado Democrático, pois a dinâmica do poder corrói e inibe a conquista e efetivação da democracia. O locus de análise se dá a partir da obra: Glória Incerta: A Índia e suas contradições, uma vez que essa traz a análise de diversos fatores que impedem a efetivação da Democracia naquele Estado, e entre estes, a corrupção impacta negativamente. Ainda pretendeu-se estabelecer um ponto de contato entre a realidade da Índia e do Brasil, que enfrenta o mesmo problema, sofrendo as mesmas consequências, e aparentemente pode ter a solução com a adoção de medidas semelhantes. Adotou-se como método de abordagem o dedutivo, e como método de procedimento a pesquisa bibliográfica, uma vez que é a mais se adapta ao campo jurídico.
Synthesis and Characterization of Poly (styrene-co-butyl acrylate)/Silica Aerogel Nanocomposites by in situ AGET ATRP: Investigating Thermal Properties
Authors: Khezri Khezrollah , Fazli Yousef
Published: October 2016

Hydrophilic silica aerogel nanoparticles surface was modified with hexamethyldisilazane. Then, the resultant modified nanoparticles were used in random copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate via activators generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization. Conversion and molecular weight determinations were performed using gas and size exclusion chromatography respectively. Addition of modified nanoparticles by 3 wt% results in a decrease of conversion from 68 to 46 %. Molecular weight of copolymer chains decreases from 12,500 to 7,500 g.mol–1 by addition of 3 wt% modified nanoparticles; however, PDI values increase from 1.1 to 1.4. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy results indicate that the molar ratio of each monomer in the copolymer chains is approximately similar to the initial selected mole ratio of them. Increasing thermal stability of the nanocomposites is demonstrated by thermal gravimetric analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry also shows a decrease in glass transition temperature by increasing modified silica aerogel nanoparticles.
Transformative Poetry. A General Introduction and a Case Study of Psalm 2
Authors: Wieringen Archibald L. H. M. van
Published: October 2016

The structure of Psalm 2 is based on direct speeches in the text. These direct speeches characterise the communication that takes place in the text. The text-immanent author addresses the text-immanent reader with a question in the first line and with a makarismos in the last line. The direct speeches of the characters enable the text-immanent reader to undergo a development in his striving towards the beatitude. In this development, the ‘now’ of the birth of the Anointed One / Son is re-enacted in the reading moment of the text-immanent reader. The reception of Psalm 2 makes clear that Hebrews and the Christmas liturgy re-use the text, while retaining this re-enactment character.
‘Teach Us the Secret Runes’. The Lord’s Prayer in Heliand
Authors: Bosman Frank G.
Published: October 2016

The ninth century Heliand is a poetic retelling of the New Testament in Old Saxon, written by an anonymous monk for the purpose of confirming the conversion his fellow Saxons to the new faith. This conversion had been forced upon them by the Frankish invaders. The author adepts the story of Jesus Christ to fit within the feudal Saxon society and precursory Nordic mythology. This contribution focuses on the Saxon rendering of the Lord’s Prayer as it is situated in the context of the Sermon on the Mount. Several key differences between the Saxon version and its biblical original are pointed out. These mirror and illustrate the attempt of the anonymous author to inculturate Jesus’ message. Finally, it is shown how, by some subtle phrases in the text of the Heliand, the poet of the Heliand is including his Saxon audience to fit themselves spiritually into the biblical story. Through the Heliand, Jesus seems to speak directly to its readers, thus stimulating a transformation of the reader-or hearer-himself.

Authors: Dulian Piotr , Buras Marlena , Żukowski Witold
Published: October 2016

The paper presents a simple way to improve the photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide using mechanochemical method. The TiO2 (Anatase) powders was subjected to high-energy ball milling in dry environment and in methanol. It has been shown that it is possible to induce the phase transformation from Anatase to Rutile and produce a material with a higher photocatalytic activity in the UV light. Physicochemical characteristics of the products were based on the following methods and techniques: X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), IR and UV-Vis (DR) spectroscopy, measurements of specific surface area (BET). The photocatalytic activity of the powders was measured in the decomposition reaction of methyl orange in water.
Influence of Pasture Rearing on the Cecal Bacterial Microbiota in Broiler Chickens
Authors: Čermák L. , Skřivanová E.
Published: October 2016

Differences in quantity of cecal microbiota in broiler chickens from conventional and pasture rearing were investigated by cultivation. Rearing on pasture brings stress reduction and increases comfort and bird welfare, which leads to products with better taste and flavour compared to conventionally produced broiler chickens. A difference in cecal settlement of general anaerobes, coliforms, lactic acid bacteria, and campylobacters and salmonellas in the two different rearing systems was addressed. Whereas numbers of total anaerobes and lactic acid bacteria were not affected, those of coliforms were significantly reduced in pasture rearing. Campylobacters were found only in pasture-reared chickens (in 28% of animals). Salmonellas were not detected in any of the systems.
Devotion and/or Destruction? The Meaning and Function of חרם in the Old Testament
Authors: Versluis Arie
Published: October 2016

This article examines the meaning and function of the verb חרם in the Old Testament. A survey of the semantic domain shows that in contexts of war the verb indicates the extermination or destruction of people, emphasizing the radical nature of the destruction. The usual interpretation of the verb as »to devote to destruction« is problematic. The use of the verb in the Mesha Inscription, which is often mentioned in favour of this interpretation, is not identical with the use in the Old Testament. In the Mesha Inscription, the verb has the meaning »to devote«, but both the construction (with the complement
Online Detection of Strand Breakage for Sirospun Yarn
Authors: Liu J. H. , Li Q. , Jiang H. X. , Ma D. D. , Tang J. Z. , Zhang J. N.
Published: October 2016

During the Siro-spin process, breakage of one strand arm would cause an extremely serious fabric fault. It is difficult to detect the breakage of one strand arm and give indication for operators. In this research, a kind of photoelectric detection sensor was developed. The sensor distinguishes breakage of one strand arm by probing the difference of the pulse width of the pulse before and after breaking one strand of the yarn in the process of Sirospun. The experimental results show that the system can detect the breakage of one strand arm. The average pulse width is about 0.78 μs in normal status and 1.95 μs in errors status for 40-s yarn. That was caused by the change of yarn diameter, balloon shape, and hairiness. The pulse width was also affected by the yarn thickness and position of the steel plate.
Investigation into the Flow-Blocking Ability of a Novel Magneto-Rheological Damper Unit
Authors: Meeser R. F. , Kaul S. , Els P. S.
Published: October 2016

This paper investigates the flow-blocking ability of a novel valve-mode magneto-rheological (MR) device to determine whether it can be used to replace the existing electro-mechanical solenoid valves that are used to control the semi-active spring characteristics in a four-state, semi-active vehicle suspension system (called the 4S4 system). MR fluids exhibit a reversible behavior that is controlled by changing the intensity of an externally applied magnetic field, allowing a change in the effective viscosity of the fluid. A mathematical model of the proposed flow-blocking valve has been developed using a combination of the quasi-Newtonian fluid model and the Bingham plastic model. This model has been modified with suitable parameters and is used to predict the blocking characteristics of the MR valve. An experimental setup has been developed with a prototype triple-pass valve mode MR fluid channel. The experimental results demonstrate that the MR valve designed and developed in this study is capable of generating a significantly high-pressure drop at very low flow rates, effectively blocking flow for practical use in the 4S4 system.
Investigations on Pervious Concrete Properties Using Ultrasonic Wave Applications
Authors: Chandrappa A. K. , Biligiri K. P.
Published: October 2016

The main objective of this study was to investigate the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) in pervious concrete specimens, and then determine the tortuosity indices of those specimens using the airborne ultrasound method. Twenty-four pervious concrete mixtures were prepared and UPV was determined at four different gains. The experimental results indicated that, as gain increased, the UPV increased, and the rate of increase reduced at higher gains. Two statistical methods were utilized to investigate the effect of gain on UPV. An optimal gain was found from statistical assessment, which was rational in capturing correct UPV values of pervious concrete. The tortuosity experiments validated the existence of slow compressional waves, and indices determined in this study were in the range of 1.619–1.701. The scatter plots showed that with increase in porosity and permeability of pervious concrete mixture, there was a reduction in tortuosity. Additionally, tortuosity determined from airborne ultrasound technique agreed well with those estimated from available models.

Published: October 2016

Climate change is a hugely important issue human being are facing. Sustainable development and green building can be one of the solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Pervious concrete is one type of green material. Pervious concrete can keep the runoff of rainwater as a water resource, such that the environment can be preserved and heat island effects can be reduced. In general, pervious concrete is not only used on pavement but also employed in coastal structures, artificial fish reefs, and seawalls in Taiwan. This paper focused on studying the characteristics of applying the designed pervious concrete on pavement and seawall utility. The experimental results showed that the compression strength of the field specimen can be up to 275.7 kgf/cm2, and as such, does exceed the specifications of normal concrete structure. The pervious concrete used in this study had the capacity to penetrate water, and the field permeability test for the simulated field site is 1100 ml/15 sec. As for the seawall made of the pervious concrete, the experimental results showed that the seawall does reduce the phenomena of wave run-up by comparing the seawall made of normal concrete specimens. Furthermore, it was shown that the surface temperature of the pervious concrete fluctuates quicker than normal concrete does. The preliminary results of this study are valuable and serve a useful reference for designing and constructing pervious concrete in the future.

Authors: Hu C. , Ma J. , Jiang H. , Chen Z. , Zhao J.
Published: October 2016

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of TiO2 waterborne epoxy resin as fog seal and exhaust degradation material in asphalt pavement. To achieve this objective, a commercial anatase/rutile mixed-phase nano-TiO2 was added to waterborne epoxy resin at various percentages. Prepared TiO2 coating was characterized with the use of adhesive shear strength test and laboratory photocatalytic performance test, which was performed with a newly developed apparatus for the study of vehicle exhaust decomposition. In addition, the impact of TiO2 coating on skid resistance and permeability of asphalt pavement was analyzed, with the British Pendulum, sand patch method, and pavement permeability test. The results of the experiments indicated that TiO2 waterborne epoxy resin coating was very effective in decomposing NO, HC, and CO pollutants from automobile exhaust. Moreover, application of waterborne epoxy resin as fog seal could maintain the skid resistance and improve the impermeability of the pavement.
LOI-Based Pulsed Eddy Current Evaluation of Hidden Material Degradation in Coated Nonmagnetic Conductors
Authors: Li Y. , Jing H. , Yan B. , Zhang X.
Published: October 2016

Coated nonmagnetic conductors are subject to material degradation hidden under nonmetallic coating. It is formidable to evaluate the degradation degree and thickness of degradation region without removing the non-conductive coating. In light of this, in this paper the feasibility of pulsed eddy current (PEC) probes for nondestructive assessment of hidden material degradation in coated nonmagnetic conductors was investigated. The characteristics of lift-off intersection (LOI) of signals from PEC probes were utilized in a bid to cancel out the influence of coating thickness on signals. A fast inverse scheme based on LOI was proposed, along with the probe to implement simultaneous evaluation of the degradation degree and thickness. A series of experiments revealed that the proposed probe is high-efficiency and capable of assessing hidden material degradation without much loss of accuracy.
Development of Cuttability Abacuses in Abrasive Waterjet Cutting With Regard to Depth of Cut and Roughness of Cut Surfaces
Authors: Ozcelik Y. , Engin İ. C.
Published: October 2016

The purpose of this study is to develop a cuttability abacus, including traverse speed and pump pressure, with regard to depth of cut and roughness-of-cut surface in the cutting operation using an abrasive waterjet on limestone, commercially named Sivrihisar Light Beige. For this purpose, cuttings were realized with an abrasive waterjet cutting machine at six different traverse speeds (400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000 mm/min) and six different pump pressures (90, 120, 180, 230, 300, and 360 MPa) with constant standoff distance, abrasive flow rate, and nozzle diameter depending on the factorial design of the experiment by using Design Expert 7.1. Experimental measurements using a digital caliper for the depth of cut and a Surftest SJ-400 surface roughness tester for roughness, after the cutting operations, were also carried out. As a result, a cuttability abacus for a limestone sample was developed for abrasive waterjet cutting, and is presented in this study. These abacuses could be of help in the natural stone industry with regard to a more efficient usage of the abrasive waterjet cutting machine. By using them, it is easy to specify the depth of cut and roughness values in different operational parameters before starting the cutting operation. These abacuses also can be used in the machining and engraving of marble slabs and tiles for technical and artistic purposes.
Análisis de factores determinantes del precio en la cadena de valor de la carne bovina en Costa Rica
Authors: Herrera-Muñoz Juan Ignacio , Solís-Carmona Edgar , Zúñiga-Arias Guillermo
Published: October 2016

El propósito del presente trabajo fue realizar un análisis de los eslabones en la cadena de valor de la carne bovina y determinar cuáles factores tienen un mayor peso en la formación del precio a través de la misma. El sector industrial es el agente de la cadena que dicta la pauta con respecto al establecimiento del precio interno. Los factores más importantes en la determinación del precio son: el precio internacional, la demanda interna, la intermediación y las políticas sectoriales. A partir de un estudio de caso de una finca con parámetros productivos considerados aceptables, se determinó que un productor de cría bajo las condiciones actuales (2015) de mercado puede obtener un ROI superior al 16%, con un ingreso de $72/ha/año (bajo condiciones similares: 100 ha y una carga animal de 1,6 UA/ha). El productor primario tiene muy poca influencia sobre la determinación del precio al que se paga su producto, sin embargo tiene herramientas disponibles para realizar una mejor proyección de producción en función de factores observables que afectan la tendencia del precio local. La elaboración y aplicación de un modelo para la fijación de precios de la carne bovina, parece un objetivo poco probable de llevarse a cabo por la fuerte influencia que tienen algunos sectores en las políticas sectoriales y la poca capacidad de los productores primarios para ejercer presión sobre este asunto.
Diferentes densidades de carga en Trucha Arcoiris mediante análisis de parámetros económicos y biológicos
Authors: Chaves-Rojas Rolando , Vargas-Cordero Ruth
Published: October 2016

El principal objetivo de este experimento fue determinar la mejor densidad de carga en una compañía productora de truchas bajo la modalidad de raceways, mediante la determinación de parámetros biológicos y económicos. Se sembraron a cuatro densidades: 24, 26, 28 y 30 kg de trucha/m³. Los peces se distribuyeron en jaulas flotantes ubicadas en dos estanques (E1 y E2) y organizadas en tres diferentes posiciones, de acuerdo a la entrada de agua (adelante, medio y atrás). Los estanques recibieron agua de segundo y tercer uso respectivamente. El periodo experimental fue de cuarenta y un días. Los parámetros calculados fueron: tasa de alimentación diaria, conversión alimenticia, tasa específica de crecimiento, coeficiente térmico de crecimiento, mortalidad, índice de conversión económico, margen bruto y relación margen/costo. Se analizó el efecto de la densidad en los diferentes parámetros, por medio de ANOVA, que contempló el estanque y la posición como factores. Los resultados reflejaron un crecimiento significativamente mayor en la densidad de 28 kg/m³ en comparación a la de 30 kg/m³, mientras que 24 y 26 kg/m³ presentaron valores intermedios sin diferir significativamente entre sí, ni con las otras dos densidades. La densidad de 28 kg/m³ mostró valores significativamente más beneficiosos en los parámetros económicos, que la de 24 kg/m³; además, las densidades de 26 y 30 kg/m³ se ubicaron en el medio sin mostrar diferencias significativas con las demás densidades. Por lo tanto, la mejor densidad de carga para truchas bajo las condiciones del experimento, es un rango entre 26 y 30 kg/m³, pero se podrían realizar futuras investigaciones con densidades mayores. Asimismo, E1 presentó resultados significativamente mejores en todos los parámetros, en comparación a E2. Por otro lado, la posición atrás, la más alejada a la entrada de agua, obtuvo resultados más rentables que la posición adelante.

A PRODUÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO NO CAMPO DA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL NO REGIME DE ACUMULAÇÃO FLEXÍVEL
Authors: Grabowski Gabriel , Kuenzer Acácia Zeneida
Published: October 2016

Esse texto parte do seguinte questionamento: existe um campo epistemológico próprio da educação profissional? Entendendo campo epistemológico como o estudo crítico dos princípios, das hipóteses e dos resultados das diversas ciências, destinado a determinar sua origem lógica, há que compreender a educação profissional, não como um campo em si, mas como parte do campo da ciência da educação, que se constitui por categorias de método e por categorias   de conteúdo. Para tanto, sSerão analisadas algumas das categorias de conteúdo  constituintes do campo epistemológico da educação, que assumem especificidades ao se tratar de educação profissional. A análise evidenciaou que  a flexibilização do trabalho, categoria central a definir o campo epistemológico da educação em geral e da educação profissional no regime de acumulação flexível, representa o seu esgotamento, destruindo os poucos direitos que a classe trabalhadora conquistou ao longo de suas lutas.
REFORMULAÇÕES DO ENSINO MÉDIO
Authors: Ferretti Celso João
Published: October 2016

Este texto aborda a reformulação do Ensino Médio, proposta nos anos recentes por meio do PL 6840, apresentado em Comissão Especial de Educação da Câmara Federal, em 2013. O PL 6840 tem um texto hibrido que, face às críticas, extirpou formulações mais polêmicas, incorporou elementos das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino Médio aprovadas em 2011, mas não abriu mão do que era mais caro a seus propositores: a escolarização em tempo integral e o desenvolvimento do ensino médio tendo em vista não prioritariamente a formação básica, politécnica e omnilateral, em suma, a formação efetivamente integral, mas a de caráter mais específico e imediatista, tendo em vista, num primeiro momento, o encaminhamento para os cursos superiores e, ao final, a contribuição para as demandas  que interessam à economia capitalista.

Franciszkańskie przesłanie encykliki Laudato si’ ukazuje się czytelnikowi dokumentu już od pierwszego wersu, który jest bezpośrednim nawiązaniem do słynnego Hymnu stworzenia św. Franciszka z Asyżu. Niniejszy artykuł zarysowuje różne franciszkańskie inspiracje papieskiego dokumentu, również w jej analizach teologicznych bazujących na myśli franciszkańskiego teologa i filozofa św. Bonawentury. Próbuje też pokazać inne franciszkańskie elementy katechezy papieża Franciszka oraz przywołuje franciszkańskich braci tworzących przed wiekami myśl społeczno­‑ekonomiczną obecną na kartach encykliki. Tym samym udowadnia, że głoszona rewolucyjność nauczania papieskiego jest w dużej mierze mocno zakorzeniona w katolickiej tradycji franciszkańskiej.
Ojcostwo duchowe w myśli patrystycznej – zarys zagadnienia
Authors: Kasprzak Dariusz
Published: October 2016

W Biblii oraz w pierwotnej tradycji chrześcijańskiej (I–III wiek) nie spotykamy opisów praktycznego prowadzenia duchowego. Jako ćwiczenie duchowe ojcostwo duchowe powstało dopiero w IV wieku wśród mnichów egipskich. Celem podstawowym tej praktyki było znalezienie sposobu na własne zbawienie, zaś celami doraźnymi były: dojście do dojrzałości chrześcijańskiej, przejawiającej się w duchu rozeznania siebie, osiągnięcie kontemplacji, wewnętrznego spokoju i apathei. Wiodącym wątkiem formacyjnym w ojcostwie duchowym u omawianych mnichów było dzielenie się osobistymi przeżyciami duchowymi, szczególnie istotna była zaś praktyka wyjawiania swych myśli.

Article consists of literature review, authors experience of the application of neurovisualization and neurophysiological research methods to predict the recovery of consciousness in patients in vegetative state (VS). According to the literature data PET with FDG has higher sensitivity in the detection of signs of consciousness, then functional MRI (fMRI). The method fMRI allows assessing the functional activity of the brain in a state of rest and in response to stimulation with different modalities ― visual, auditory, etc (with the application of active and passive paradigm). A higher specificity in the detection of signs of consciousness have the methodology of fMRI with the active paradigm, at the same time, the absence of signs of consciousness according to the fMRI can not be charged as a basis for the conclusion of a poor prognosis in a particular patient. Neurophysiological tests (EEG, TMS, EP, etc) are more readily available and quite effective. Based on the literature analysis, the authors comes to the conclusion that neurovisualization and neurophysiological tests used in the prediction of the outcome of VS reflects the residual functional activity of different brain areas, in a context of diffuse brain damage, and the recovery of consciousness is usually combined with the restoring of the functional activity off the thalamocortical tracts, which activity, indirectly, is evaluated using these methods. In the authors' opinions, the main disadvantage in the interpretation of the is the lack of a common pathophysiological concept of the organization of brain functions in VS patients. The authors offer for the discussion their concept of stable pathological states of the brain, which is based on the works of Russian pathophysiologists.

Authors: Goh Poh Sun
Published: October 2016

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. The intention of this personal reflection is to complement a Pecha Kucha session presented on the same topic on the closing day of AMEE 2016. Three "new", topical and trending areas to reflect upon are Virtual Reality (VR)/Augmented Reality (AR)/Mixed Reality (MR); Machine learning or Artificial Intelligence (AI)/big data/data analytics; and Robotics. Four interrelated "useful" features of Technology enhanced learning (TeL) relate to the utility of digital content, the connectivity provided by the internet, the use of mobile devices, and the functionality provided by software and digital applications or Apps. Some "important" considerations using TeL relate to usability, cost, the conscious use of instructional design and pedagogical best practices and evidence, and maintaining a scholarly mindset.
Measuring the economic centrality of the Chinese urban network
Authors: Liu Lichen , Li Xiaoying
Published: October 2016

In recent years, global concern has arisen regarding the significant changes in economic centrality in the Chinese urban system induced by informatisation, globalisation and regionalisation. This study aimed to establish a quantitative method based on a comprehensive analysis of economic centrality in the urban system and to apply this to a case study of the Chinese urban system. This paper, based on the analysis of three key factors – hinterland or large spatial scale; co-operation with a division of urban economy or competitive substitution relationship; and reliance on its own resources or a service network (in the case of an enterprise) – argues that economic centrality in an urban network is complex and is based on the size, network and headquarter economy (HQE) of a city. This paper demonstrates that the increasing importance of the network economy and the HQE does not displace that of a city's size, thus indicating that a city's size is still relevant but no longer a primary factor. The results prove that the methods used in this study permitted an effective analysis of the economic centrality in the Chinese urban system. The authors, therefore, hope that this paper can provide a frame of reference for analysing economic centrality in urban systems of developing countries.
The Eye in Space

Long-term space travel is one of the most physically taxing experience for the human body. In particular, the rigors of micro gravity can cause decreased vision which is critical for daily activities in space. Current research indicates that an imbalance in between intraocular and intracranial pressure may play an important role.
Curvilinear Integral Theorem for G-Monogenic Mappings in the Algebra of Complex Quaternion

For G-monogenic mappings taking values in the algebra of complex quaternion we prove a curvilinear analogue of the Cauchy integral theorem in the case where a curve of integration lies on the boundary of a domain of G-monogeneity.
An Assessment of Women’s Accessibility to Poverty Alleviation Programmes in Kano State, Nigeria
Authors: Bello Aduke Olufunmilayo
Published: October 2016

This study examines the accessibility of women to Poverty Alleviation Programmes (PAP) in Kano State, Nigeria. The aim of the study was to identify the poverty alleviation programmes and assess the difference that exists btetween rural and urban women’s access to them. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the accessibility of rural and urban women to PAP in the study area (Chi-square value = 9.196 (df) 1, p = 0.002). Consequently, it is recommended that the government should ensure proper periodical assessment and review of the administration and implementation of PAP in the study area. This will make the accessibility of women to the programmes result oriented. This will enhance the achievement of proper awareness among women and increase their accessibility to Poverty Alleviation Programmes in Kano State, Nigeria.

Fining of red wines: effects on their analytical and sensory parameters
Authors: Karamanidou Asimenia , Kallithraka Stamatina , Hatzidimitriou Efimia
Published: October 2016

Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of protein fining on selected quality parameters of wines made from indigenous Hellenic red grape varieties.

Methods and Results: Three different commercial hydrolyzed gelatins and egg albumin were added to two young red wines at three concentrations commonly used in winemaking. The cultivars selected were Hellenic native V. vinifera species used for the production of high quality Appellation of Origin wines (Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro). All the quality parameters studied (anthocyanin concentration, color intensity and hue, ionization degree, total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, tannin and polysaccharide concentration, gelatin and HCl indexes, as well as individual phenolic content) were significantly decreased after the addition of the fining agents. The decrease observed was mainly dependent on grape variety, which genetically determines the wine’s phenolic composition, and to a lesser extent on the fining agent used and the dosage applied. In general, treated wines obtained better scores in sensory analysis as compared to untreated ones, although statistically significant differences were only obtained in the Agiorgitiko wine regarding color intensity and hue, acidity, balance, aftertaste, and overall impression.

Conclusion: Wine quality parameters after fining were mainly influenced by the wine’s initial phenolic composition, which is determined mostly by grape variety.

Significance and impact of the study: The outcomes of such study might be of practical interest to winemakers since they could optimize red wine production technology by selecting the appropriate fining agent according to the specific phenolic profiles of the produced wines and thus improve their quality.
Effect of protein-tannin ratio and tannin concentration on the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-based precipitation method for red wine tannin concentration
Authors: Kemp Belinda S. , Harrison Roland , Hider Richard N.
Published: October 2016

Aims: The main objective of the study was to ascertain whether an existing protein precipitation assay could be simply modified to determine tannin at low concentration in wines. This was achieved by mixing a greater volume of wine to a smaller, but more concentrated, volume of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to maintain the same wine-to-BSA ratio (although both the final pH and ethanol concentration varied). In addition, dilution series of each of these mixtures were prepared to investigate the effect of wine-to-BSA ratio on tannin precipitation.

Methods and results: Seven New Zealand red wines were assayed according to the BSA method using a range of protein (BSA) and wine concentrations achieved by varying wine dilutions and the volume of the model wine solution. Maximum precipitation was observed at lower wine/protein ratios in diluted wines and tannin precipitation increased as protein concentration increased. It was observed that the estimation of tannin concentration in red wine is a product of tannin/protein ratio and BSA concentration. Consequently, the methylcellulose precipitation (MCP) assay was performed to independently determine tannin concentration in red wines. Results indicate that tannin/protein ratio, BSA concentration and possibly tannin composition affect BSA-tannin precipitation.

Conclusion: For the BSA assay there appears to be a region of low tannin/protein ratio within which lower wine tannin concentrations can be determined. Overall it is suggested that tannin precipitation is linearly related to tannin concentration.

Significance and impact of the study: Results showed the limits of the BSA method for low tannin wines and the difficulty in using the method for wines with unknown tannin concentrations.
