Progresso temporal da ferrugem em diferentes genótipos de pessegueiro
Authors: Marcuzzo Leandro Luiz , Santos Juliano Evandro dos
Published: July 2017

RESUMO A ferrugem do pessegueiro causada por Tranzschelia discolor é uma das doenças que comprometem a área foliar da cultura durante todo o período vegetativo, causando prejuízos à produção e a qualidade dos frutos. Considerando que o progresso temporal desta doença é pouco conhecido, esse trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o progresso da doença ao longo do ciclo produtivo entre diferentes genótipos. O experimento foi realizado em pomar de pessegueiro do Instituto Federal Catarinense (IFC) Campus Rio do Sul. Foram avaliados os genótipos Granada, Dourado 1, Dourado 2, Douradão, Ouro, Chimarrita, Flordaprince, Premier, Aurora e Della Nona. Selecionaram-se quatro plantas de cada genótipo e avaliou-se a severidade da doença semanalmente, após o inicio da brotação, em 16 folhas de cada planta com auxilio de uma escala diagramática. A curva de progresso da doença para cada um dos genótipos foi ajustada a um modelo logístico, já que a severidade observada correspondeu ao modelo e foi confirmada pela coerência entre os pontos estimados e pelo resíduo. Foi verificado que o genótipo Dourado1 apresentou a maior taxa da doença (0,645), enquanto Aurora, a menor (0,330). Verificou-se que o genótipo Douradão apresentou o pico máximo da doença com 2,4% de severidade e que Chimarita e Dourado 1 tiveram o menor acúmulo da doença com 0,5%. Os genótipos apresentaram diferentes comportamentos de progresso da ferrugem do pessegueiro.
World Health Organization and the search for accountability: a critical analysis of the new framework of engagement with non-state actors
Authors: Rached Danielle Hanna , Ventura Deisy de Freitas Lima
Published: July 2017

The article probes the origins and content of the Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors (FENSA) of the World Health Organization (WHO), approved on May 28, 2016, at the 69th World Health Assembly, which established different rules of collaboration to four categories of actors: nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), private sector entities, philanthropic foundations, and academic institutions. Applying the findings of International Legal Theory and based on extensive documentary research, we sought to determine whether FENSA is an appropriate accountability mechanism according to four functions of accountability: constitutional, democratic, epistemic, and populist. The article concludes that there is a risk of the prevalence of the populist function at the expense of the accountability potential that could result from the better use of the other three accountability functions.
Multifocal osteonecrosis secondary to occupational exposure to aluminum
Authors: Assunção Jorge Henrique , Malavolta Eduardo Angeli , Gracitelli Mauro Emilio Conforto , Filippi Renée Zon , Ferreira Neto Arnaldo Amado
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Multifocal osteonecrosis is a rare disease; chronic use of corticosteroids is considered the main risk factor. Patients with chronic renal failure can develop aluminum toxicity, which can lead to osteomalacia and encephalopathy. An association between osteonecrosis and aluminum toxicity has been reported among patients with dialytic renal insufficiency. Occupational exposure to aluminum rarely causes lung disease and no cases of bone lesions resulting from exposure to this metal have been reported. In this manuscript, we describe a novel case of a patient with multifocal osteonecrosis associated with chronic occupational exposure to aluminum. Level of Evidence IV, Case Report.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To describe shoulder disorders in patients evaluated by two shoulder and elbow surgeons. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed patients evaluated by two authors, excluding acute fractures and dislocations and patients with symptoms not involving the shoulder. Age and sex distribution was determined for the different diagnoses. RESULTS: We evaluated 1001 patients. Mean age was 51.43±15.15 years and 51.0% were female. Disorders of the rotator cuff occurred in 64.3% (41.2% tendinopathy, 11.0% partial tears and 12.2% full-thickness tears). Adhesive capsulitis occurred in 13.5% of cases and glenohumeral instability in 8.1%. Rotator cuff disorders were more common in women, with a peak between 50 and 59 years for tendinopathy and partial tears and between 60 and 69 years for full-thickness tears. Glenohumeral instability was more frequent in men, with a peak between 30 and 39 years. CONCLUSION: The most frequent diagnosis was rotator cuff tendinopathy, followed by adhesive capsulitis, full-thickness rotator cuff tears, partial rotator cuff tears and glenohumeral instability. Rotator cuff lesions were more common in women, with a peak between 60 and 69 years for full-thickness tears. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.
Chromosome Studies of Brazilian Ferns
Authors: Tryon Alice F. , Bautista Hortensia P. , Araújo Izonete da Silva
Published: July 2017

Abstract Chromosome numbers, habitat and general geographic distributions are reported for a sample of ferns from the vicinity of Manaus. These numbers are compared with those reported for species in other regions. The report of n=ca. 154 for Schizaea incurvata is the first record of the genus in the American tropics and the others are first counts of these species in continental South America. In Lindsaea n=42 and n=ca. 84, are somewhat lower and appear to represent a line distinct from the species of the paleotropics with n=47. In Trichomanes n=32, 64 and 128 appear to be levels of polyploidy based on X=8, while n = 72 is possibly based on X=9 and suggest possible diverse lines in the genus. Pityrogramma calomelanos with n=116 is considered as an octoploid based on X=29. Our sample covering about ten percent of the pteridophytes in the area we collected, yielded numbers ranging between n=32 and n=154, and generally appears to represent high polyploid levels.
The history of the INPA capoeira based on ecological studies of Lecythidaceae
Authors: Prance Ghillean T.
Published: July 2017

Abstract The Lecythidaceae of a 2500 m2 area of the secondary forest of INPA was studied. The 97 individuals of Lecythidaceae present indicated a high number of primary forest species. It is concluded that most of the area was not burnt when the original forest was cut, and the regeneration of primary forest species is much greater in areas which are not burnt over after felling. This is further supported by parallel studies of Bignoniaceae and Meliaceae of the same area.

Resumo Primeira tentativa para determinar a magnitude do fluxo de água subterrânea, a fim de estimar o potencial de elementos biologicamente importantes no ciclo de nutrientes no ecossistema Campina Amazônica. O fluxo saturado da água, dentro do lençol freático, foi estudado por 2 métodos, no período de dezembro de 1974 a janeiro de 1975: 1) aplicando-se a equação de Darcy; 2) usando-se um traçador 3h (100 mCi) na forma de 3H2O. As variações apresentadas pelos dois métodos foram provenientes da alta permeabilidade do solo arenoso, propiciando rápidas variações do lençol freático, totalmente influenciado pelas precipitações pluviométricas. Ambos os métodos apresentaram resultados da mesma ordem de grandeza, indicando a existência de um movimento horizontal do fluxo saturado da água no lençol freático da Campina, da ordem de 0,0018 cm3. cm-2. h-1.

Remuneração de Executivos e Desempenho no Mercado Brasileiro: Relações Contemporâneas e Defasadas
Authors: Aguiar Andson Braga de , Pimentel Renê Coppe
Published: July 2017

Resumo Este estudo analisa a relação entre remuneração de executivos e desempenho em empresas brasileiras. A análise enfatiza: (a) o efeito motivador do nível (contemporâneo e defasado) e composição da remuneração no desempenho financeiro e de mercado; e (b) a hipótese de sensibilidade da remuneração ao desempenho. Utilizando dados longitudinais de 333 empresas, entre 2011 e 2015, os resultados indicam que a relação entre remuneração e desempenho pode ocorrer tanto com desempenho financeiro, quanto com desempenho de mercado, tanto em termos de relações de curto prazo, quanto de relações de longo prazo. Além disso, incrementos na remuneração tendem a gerar melhores desempenhos futuros. Finalmente, os resultados sugerem relação bidirecional entre remuneração e desempenho.

RESUMO Objetivos: Analisar resultados de iniciativa para racionalizar o uso de exames radiológicos, garantindo sua qualidade técnica, e implantar uma campanha de radioproteção que inclua a capacitação da equipe profissional e a Carteira de Radioproteção para crianças de até 12 anos como instrumento para que os pais e médicos controlem a exposição das crianças à radiação. Métodos: Em um sistema de saúde suplementar com cobertura de 140 mil pessoas, foi implantada a campanha de radioproteção com base nos protocolos Image Gently •, garantindo a menor dose possível de exposição à radiação, com qualidade técnica, e implantando a Carteira de Radioproteção. Para aferir a eficácia dessas ações, comparou-se o número de exames radiológicos realizados no setor de urgência e emergência pediátrica no período de um ano anterior à campanha com o número de exames radiológicos realizados no período de um ano posterior à campanha. Resultados: As ações foram bem-aceitas por todos os grupos envolvidos. No ano seguinte à implantação das estratégias de radioproteção, observou-se redução de 22% no número de exames radiológicos realizados no setor pediátrico de urgência e emergência. Houve ainda diminuição de 29% da solicitação de dois ou mais exames para a mesma criança ou de exames com duas ou mais incidências. Conclusões: A campanha de radioproteção e a implantação da Carteira de Radioproteção para crianças até 12 anos revelaram-se estratégias factíveis e associaram-se à redução dos exames radiológicos solicitados e realizados no setor de urgência e emergência pediátrica.
Size-dependent piezoelectric coefficient and Curie temperature of nanoparticles
Authors: Shuai Zhang , Li Hui
Published: July 2017

The size-dependent piezoelectric coefficient and Curie temperature of small ferroelectrics are modeled in this paper. It is found that taking account of the size effect is essential in understanding the piezoelectric characteristics of nanoferroelectrics. The model prediction is in good agreement with the experimental results for lead (II) titanate (PbTiO3) and barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles, where the piezoelectric coefficient, d 33(D), increases correspondingly as the particle diameter, D, decreases. In addition, the size effect of the dielectric susceptibility coefficient, η 33(D), is also predicted since η 33(D) ∝ d 33(D) is considered. The estimations of the authors’ model for the η 33(D) function are consistent with other theoretical evidence. Thus, the piezoelectric coefficient, d 33(D), and dielectric susceptibility coefficient, η 33(D), can be predicted well based on the size of the particle. Variations in size will directly affect the piezoelectricity of the materials, and the relevant piezoelectric coefficient reveals strong size-dependency and plays a significant role in the application of nanoferroelectrics.
Estudio de la influencia de la apertura de las ventanas y la velocidad de circulación en la aerodinámica de un vehículo de turismo
Authors: Aguilar Romero Angel Yasmany , Caldas Siavichay Rolando Ismael , Rivera Caravajo Juan Andrés , Tapia Viñay Erik René
Published: July 2017

En este artículo se presenta el estudio aerodinámico de un vehículo de turismo, tomando como muestra el Chevrolet Forsa 1.3, en el que se realizan pruebas de carretera para obtener valores de los coeficientes aerodinámico (Cx) y de fricción (Fr) en diferentes posiciones de apertura de las ventanas y diversas velocidades del vehículo. Para corroborar la información obtenida en las pruebas en las cuales se basa para el cálculo del Cx, se realiza un modelado del vehículo a utilizar en SolidWorks, con la intención de efectuar una simulación que permita obtener los valores del Cx cuando las ventanas se encuentran en diversas posiciones y a una velocidad específica. Además, se realiza un diseño experimental en Minitab, el cual permite conocer la incidencia que tiene cierta variable sea de apertura de las ventanas o velocidad del vehículo sobre el Cx y Fr. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que el valor de Cx aumenta conforme se abren las ventanas del vehículo cuando se viaja a velocidades superiores a los 90 km/h, lo que significa mayor resistencia al avance y por ende un incremento en el consumo de combustible y emisiones contaminantes.
Desempleo, crisis económica y percepción sobre la población inmigrante en el levante español
Authors: Martínez Guirao Javier Eloy , Téllez Infantes Anastasia
Published: July 2017

For over a decade, Spain experienced an economic boom based on the construction sector, which led to the arrival of immigrants from different parts of the world. Someone searching of job opportunities, others investing their savings in buying homes. In those years immigration was valued by beneficial effects for the economy. After the bursting of the housing bubble and the economic crisis circumstances changed. Unemployment increased sharply and many immigrants back to their countries. Those who decided to stay saw as worsened their living conditions and work, and how the locals perceive as competitors now manifesting xenophobic attitudes towards them. In this article we rely on an ethnographic study in one of the most affected areas by the crisis in Spain, La Vega Baja del Segura, to investigate these aspects.

Esta pesquisa possui como objetivo analisar como os processos organizacionais, na perspectiva da Gestão do Conhecimento (GC), contribuem para a resolução dos problemas específicos da gestão escolar pública. Para isto, utilizou-se de uma abordagem descritiva, de natureza qualitativa, ancorada por uma revisão bibliográfica interdisciplinar, referente às áreas: educação, gestão e gestão do conhecimento. Como resultados de pesquisa, identificou-se que a administração, no contexto da educação, é intrínseca à própria prática educativa e se apresenta como um dos problemas da educação na atualidade. Logo, como resposta a estas demandas, propôs-se, com base na literatura pesquisada, um ciclo de implementação de processos organizacionais em GC, específico para organizações do ensino público. O ciclo traz aos gestores escolares observações sob como se poderá implementar as práticas organizacionais baseadas na GC. Anexo a esta proposta, sugere-se um roteiro de implementação do ciclo, que descreve como implementar estes processos, adequando-os à realidade do ambiente escolar público.
Changes of the genetic structure in chronically irradiated scots pine populations
Authors: Kazakova Elizaveta A , Volkova Polina Yu , Geras’kin Stanislav A
Published: July 2017

Summary: Background. The vast forest areas were affected by radioactive fallout of the Chernobyl accident. Data about the long-term effects of chronic radiation exposure are insufficient, as well as knowledge about its influence on the genetic structure of populations. Study of isozyme polymorphism allows us to identify how chronic low-dose radiation exposure affects the genetic structure of plant populations and to develop new methods for assessing the biological effects of anthropogenic impact on terrestrial ecosystems.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted in six sites in the Bryansk region (4 radioactively contaminated and 2 reference ones). The method of vertical electrophoresis in PAAG was used for estimation of polymorphism of three enzymes involved in metabolic pathways. Activity of enzymes in seeds of Scots pine was assessed by spectrophotometry.

Results. The frequency of mutations in isozymes loci increased along the level of radiation exposure (7-130 mGy/year), as well as some characteristics of the genetic structure of populations. Biochemical activity of studied enzymes does not depend on the level of dose absorbed in the generative organs of pine.

Conclusions. It was found that the frequency of mutational events in loci of catabolic/anabolic enzymes and in the loci of previously studied antioxidant enzymes increases along the level of radiation exposure. The degree of the biological effect of chronic exposure was different in groups of catabolic/anabolic enzymes and antioxidant enzymes. Radiation exposure contributes to changes in the genetic structure of Scots pine populations.
Challenging 'Derivative' Explanations of Scientific Racism: The Case of Dr. J.C. de Man (1818-1909)
Authors: Schipper Douwe
Published: July 2017

This article evaluates the historiography of late nineteenth-century sciences of race. A key aspect of this historiography is the idea that sciences of race were designed specifically to justify preexisting ideas about race. This aspect is defined as the ‘derivative explanation of scientific racism’. I critique this explanation by focusing on one specific science of race, craniometry, and using one particular craniometrist, Dr. J.C. de Man (1818–1909), as a case study. I argue, first, that historians of the derivative explanation cause confusion because they apply current racial language in their characterization of craniometry of the past; second, that they overlook the emerging ideal of objectivity in science; third, that they tend to reduce social motivations for practicing science to being racial by definition.

Modos de representación en los distritos: ¿diputados al servicio de los partidos o de los electores? Los casos de Chile y Bolivia
Authors: Barreda Díaz Mikel , Ruiz Rodríguez Leticia María
Published: July 2017

Este trabajo aporta evidencia empírica sobre una cuestión poco investigada en América Latina: los modos de representación. En particular, se analiza un posible dilema del parlamentario en su actividad de representación: anteponer los intereses de su partido o los intereses de los ciudadanos de su distrito. Para realizar el estudio empírico, se acude a una encuesta a asesores parlamentarios de los principales partidos bolivianos y chilenos. Los argumentos fundamentales del análisis son dos. Primera, si bien la preferencia general entre los diputados es la priorización de los intereses del distrito por encima de los del partido,  hay diferencias significativas entre los diputados bolivianos y chilenos. Segunda, el análisis exploratorio realizado muestra la naturaleza multicausal de las preferencias respecto a los intereses de representación. Se constata la influencia de un grupo diverso de factores relacionados con las características del diputado, del partido y del entorno socioeconómico e institucional
La cohesión legislativa entre la Concertacion y el Partido Comunista en Chile, 2010-2013
Authors: Marambio Alexis , Navia Patricio , Figueras Cristian , Madera Ariel
Published: July 2017

Aunque el Partido Comunista de Chile (pc) llegó al Congreso en 2009 por un pacto electoral con la Concertación, no fue parte formal de esta coalición en el periodo legislativo 2010-2013. A pesar de esto cooperaron en varios ámbitos como oposición. Aquí evaluamos si esto incluyó el trabajo legislativo. Aplicando la teoría de principales en competencia a la adscripción partidista y de coalición que pudieran tener los diputados en Chile, analizamos la cohesión legislativa en la autoría de los 1284 proyectos de ley presentados durante ese periodo en la Cámara de Diputados. Si bien formaron un pacto electoral, la Concertación y el pc no se comportaron como pacto político en patrocinio de proyectos de ley (mociones). Aunque el pc está más cerca de la Concertación que de otros partidos, hay más distancia entre ese partido y los de la Concertación que al interior de esa coalición. También hay más distancia entre el pc y el Partido Demócrata Cristiano (pdc) que entre este y los partidos de derecha.

Gitelman syndrome with early onset – a case report and literature news
Authors: Prościak Katarzyna , Storek Monika , Zwolińska Danuta , Kiliś-Pstrusińska Katarzyna
Published: July 2017

Wstęp

Zespół Gitelmana (ZG) spowodowany jest genetycznie uwarunkowaną dysfunkcją tiazydo-wrażliwego kotransportera NaCl w dystalnym kanaliku krętym nefronu. Choroba ujawnia się zwykle w wieku dojrzewania lub u dorosłych. W pracy przedstawiono przypadek chłopca, u którego pierwsze objawy wystąpiły w 6 r.ż., natomiast rozpoznanie postawiono w 16 r.ż.

Opis przypadku

16-letni chłopiec został przyjęty z następującym wywiadem: od 6 r.ż. co kilka tygodni występowały skurcze mięśni kończyn górnych. Kilkakrotnie obserwowano skurcze mięśni kończyn dolnych oraz mięśnia okrężnego ust, ponadto drętwienie kończyn i twarzy podczas gorączki. Dziecko konsultowano w SOR, gdzie podawano anksjolityki oraz preparaty magnezu. Dwa tygodnie przed przyjęciem do kliniki u chłopca wystąpiła biegunka, gorączka, a następnego dnia krótkotrwała utrata przytomności poprzedzona silnym skurczem mięśni z przymusowym ustawieniem kończyn. Chłopiec był hospitalizowany w szpitalu rejonowym, gdzie stwierdzono zasadowicę metaboliczną, hipokaliemię, hipomagnezemię i przekazano do kliniki. Przy przyjęciu w badaniu fizykalnym nie stwierdzono nieprawidłowości. W badaniach krwi wykazano opisane zaburzenia, ponadto hipochloremię, podwyższone ARO. W badaniach moczu stwierdzono pH zasadowe, niski ciężar właściwy, zwiększone wydalanie magnezu, potasu oraz obniżone wydalanie wapnia. USG jamy brzusznej bez nieprawidłowości. Wartości ciśnienia tętniczego krwi w normie. Badaniem genetycznym potwierdzono rozpoznanie ZG – u pacjenta znaleziono dwie mutacje genu SLC12A3:
2221 G →A (Gly741Arg) oraz1315 G → A (Gly439Ser). Włączono suplementację potasu i magnezu, uzyskując poprawę biochemiczną oraz ustąpienie objawów.

Wnioski

ZG może ujawnić się wcześnie, a podmiotowe objawy mogą być okresowe i przemijające. Ich występowanie wymaga diagnostyki w kierunku tubulopatii. Długoletni brak rozpoznania i leczenia, oprócz powikłań somatycznych, może prowadzić do obniżenia jakości życia pacjenta.
Local Injection of Hyaluronic Acid Filler Improves Open Gingival Embrasure: Validation Through a Rat Model

Published: July 2017

Background: The open gingival embrasure, the so‐called black triangle, is one of the unsolved dilemmas in adult dentistry. Although various techniques have been introduced to improve black triangles, the lack of reproducible experimental models has prevented development of successful protocols to regenerate or to compensate loss of the interdental papilla. Therefore, the objective of this study is first to develop a reliable animal model of open gingival embrasure and then to validate a minimally invasive injection technique using hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to augment the interdental papilla.

Methods: To reproduce open gingival embrasure in rats, rapid space opening was induced between the mandibular incisors by attachment of a compression spring. Loss of interdental papilla height was morphologically evaluated and calculated using standardized serial photographs, microcomputed tomography, and histologic sections. Afterward, HA fillers or phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) was locally injected, and changes in the interdental papilla were evaluated.

Results: After 7 days of space opening, the margin of the interdental papilla between the mandibular incisors gradually became irregular and flat, indicating a condition similar to the open gingival embrasure (P <0.05). Local injection of HA filler induced an augmentation effect of the interdental papilla compared with injection of PBS (P <0.05). Interdental papilla became convex, and inner granules containing HA were detected within the submucosal layer after its injection.

Conclusions: Open gingival embrasure was reproduced reliably in vivo. Local injection of HA filler was validated as a meaningful minimally invasive procedure to improve open gingival embrasure.

Published: July 2017

Background: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the periodontal clinical and microbiologic responses and possible adverse effects of clarithromycin (CLM) combined with periodontal mechanical therapy in the treatment of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis.

Methods: Forty patients were selected and randomly assigned into one of two groups: 1) CLM (n = 20): one‐stage full‐mouth ultrasonic debridement (FMUD) associated with CLM (500 mg, every 12 hours for 3 days); and 2) placebo (n = 20): FMUD associated with placebo pills. Clinical and microbiologic parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 and 6 months postoperatively.

Results: Both treatments presented statistically significant clinical and microbiologic improvements. However, the CLM group presented lower means of probing depth for pockets ≥7 mm at 6 months (4.0 ± 1.7 mm) compared with the placebo group (4.7 ± 1.3 mm) (P = 0.04). In addition, the CLM group also presented greater reduction of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) DNA counts at 6 months (P = 0.0001).

Conclusion: Results from this study suggest both treatments are effective; however, adjunct use of CLM to FMUD leads to better reduction of deep pockets and Pg at 6 months compared with FMUD alone.

Free Radicals in Down's Syndrome, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Sammut Luke
Published: July 2017

A free radical is an atom or group of atoms that have one or more unpaired electrons that can be considered as fragments of molecules and which are generally very reactive. Free Radicals can have positive, negative or neutral charge. They are produced continuously in cells either as accidental by-products of metabolism or deliberately during, for example, phagocytosis. The most important reactants in free radical biochemistry in aerobic cells are oxygen and its radical derivatives (superoxide and hydroxyl radical), hydrogen peroxide and transition metals. Cells have developed a comprehensive array of antioxidant defences to prevent free radical formation or limit their damaging effects. These include enzymes to decompose peroxides, proteins to sequester transition metals and a range of compounds to ‘scavenge’ free radicals. Reactive free radicals formed within cells can oxidise biomolecules and lead to cell death and tissue injury. Establishing the involvement of free radicals in the pathogenesis of a disease is extremely difficult due to the short lifetimes of these species. We describe the role of free radicals in Down's syndrome, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Rheumatoid arthritis.
EFEITOS COLONIZADORES NA POLÍTICA E NO PRESENTE: DEUS ESTÁ NO CONTROLE E NAS ARTES DE GOVERNAR?

O homem moderno, como animal confessor, faz-se, ainda hoje, modelo regrado nas relações com as sexualidades. Michel Foucault aponta para a existência de um poder pastoral direcionador da alma e do indivíduo que, na contemporaneidade, é multiplicado e distribuído na sociedade e no Estado. Assim, objetivando discutir os discursos cristãos marcados pela regra da inclusão atuantes na produção do corpo e da sexualidade "ex-gay", esse artigo se propõe articular as discussões foucaultianas sobre modos de vida e as possibilidades de um existir "bicha". Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma abordagem mista entre a genealogia em Foucault e a pesquisa com os cotidianos em Certeau. E, entre essas duas abordagens, emerge a própria bicha em meio aos "ex-gays" e, então, as vidas conversam.

KATHARINA VON BORA: UMA MULHER FORTE, CORAJOSA E EMPODERADA DO MOVIMENTO DA REFORMA, DO SÉCULO XVI
Authors: Ulrich Claudete Beise , Dalferth Heloisa Gralow
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo reflete sobre Katharina von Bora, uma mulher forte, corajosa e empoderada do movimento da Reforma, do século XVI. Katharina von Bora ficou esquecida e invisibilizada pelos estudos da religião e da história. O cotidiano da vida das mulheres começou a ser historicizado, refletido na teologia e nos estudos da religião a partir do final dos anos 50. Importante afirmar que a Reforma Protestante não teria acontecido sem a atuação e a participação efetiva das mulheres. Katharina von Bora, além de ter sido a esposa do reformador Martim Lutero, participou ativamente do movimento reformatório, sendo considerada uma das primeiras mulheres administradoras. Ela foi uma mulher que rompeu muitas fronteiras do seu tempo.

Published: July 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar os efeitos da exclusão de rotí­­fero e sua substituição por ração no desenvolvimento, crescimento e sobrevivência de larvas do caranguejo-uçá (Ucides cordatus). As larvas foram cultivadas individualmente e submetidas a seis tratamentos (T1 a T5 e TR), com 50 réplicas, de zoea (Z1 a Z5) até o estágio de megalopa (M). A alimentação foi composta por náuplios de artêmia e microalgas em todos os tratamentos. O rotí­­fero foi introduzido também como alimento de T1 a T5, exceto em TR, em que a ração comercial microparticulada foi administrada como alimento. O rotí­­fero foi então fornecido nos tratamentos T1-Z1, T2-Z2, T3-Z3, T4-Z4 e T5-Z5 e posteriormente excluí­­do. A baixa sobrevivência com reduzido número de megalopas, observada em TR, aponta que a substituição de rotí­­fero por ração não é uma alternativa viável. A exclusão do rotí­­fero pode ser realizada após a mudança para Z2, mantendo o fornecimento de náuplios de artêmia e microalgas, sem impactar no crescimento, sobrevivência e resistência ao estresse, assegurando megalopas com qualidade para repovoamentos e reduzindo, consequentemente, o manejo e custos envolvidos na produção.

Corporate governance of the state-owned enterprises in an emerging country: Risk management and related issues
Authors: Matsiliza Noluthando Shirley
Published: July 2017

This article assesses the extent to which state owned enterprises (SOE) have complied with corporate governance codes, as recommended by King III in South Africa. Corporate governance in the post-apartheid era has changed irrevocably. The development path which is the agenda to transform state owned enterprises has been a trial and error (trend) in South Africa. This paper argues that the South African State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) have applied the King III principles of corporate governance, while grappling with structural changes that impact in their practice regarding their organisational performance on risk and corporate governance. Along with regulatory measures on corporate governance, the SOEs are looking at strategies to translate the concept of corporate governance into practical solutions that involve stakeholders and government support. Using a qualitative approach, this theoretical paper employed document analysis for data collection and analysis. This paper calls for more risk intelligent management of agencies so that future opportunities and threats are recognized and addressed promptly and effectively. The value of this paper is based on its contribution to the existing knowledge area on corporate governance and leadership.

Published: July 2017

The aim of this paper is to introduce the importance of the banking credit risk, the main elements that conform it and the main alternatives that are offered to access to a loan as well as a description of its measurement and management in the sector. There will be a general explanation of credit risk and the main parties involved in it. As the topic is developed it is going to be analyzed the lending process carried out by the banks as well as the quantitative and qualitative elements taken into account when taking a credit decision (The 5C’s of credit, credit scoring and models for quantification of losses for instance). Another thing to considerate is that Credit risk arises whenever a borrower is expecting to use future cash flows to pay a current debt. Also, the investors have the access for the information of a client and they are compensated for assuming credit risk by way of interest payments from the borrower or issuer of a debt obligation and the credit risk is a useful tool for the finance management. The Enterprise risk management in Peru changed in 2015 because the local regulator is in process to review the norm, including some aspects of corporate governance; these changes are not included in this research.
An analysis of the impact of liquidity constraints on new financial product development: case of ZB bank
Authors: Wadesango Newman , Nani L. , Mhaka Charity , Wadesango Ongayi Vongayi
Published: July 2017

The study investigated the impact of liquidity constraints on development of new financial products in commercial banks. The descriptive research design was adopted and a case study of ZB Bank employed. A census sampling technique was adopted and questionnaires and interviews were self-administered by the researchers. Research outcomes proved that liquidity constraints are a major impediment to firm`s innovativeness. Financial project innovations are either not started, delayed or abandoned, but mostly the distribution and delivery of developed services for financial products are highly affected. The results of this study have contributed to existing literature in revealing that financial regulation tends to be another constraint for commercial banks discouraging product innovations. Rapid technological changes seem to fuel the need for new software and hardware for new product development thus necessitating the employment of a skilled workforce for new product development. Furthermore, customer demands are changing on a daily basis due to rapid changes in information technology thus making customer maintenance difficult for commercial banks. Based on the data gathered, the researchers concluded that there is a negative impact on new financial product development due to liquidity constraints. In such constrained times, we recommend that commercial banks should emphasize more the best technique suitable for successful new product development or invest their available funds in the development thereof.
Poincaré and Duhem
Authors: Príncipe João
Published: July 2017

The object of this article is to show a certain proximity of Duhem to Poincaré in his first philosophical reflections. I study the relationships between the scientific practices of the two scholars, the contemporary theoretical context and their reflections. The first part of the article concerns the changes in epistemological consensus at the turn of the century. The second part will be devoted to Poincaré's reflections on the status of physical geometries and physical theories, as they appear in his texts written around 1890. Then I analyze the first reflections of Pierre Duhem on physical theory, in particular his thesis of the hypothetical/symbolic character of physical theories and his criteria for selecting good theories, partly associated with his ideal of physical theory; the whole set of considerations, highlighting the Poincarean inspiration.
Michael Scot and the Four Rainbows
Authors: Scott Tony
Published: July 2017

We apply a physical and historical analysis to a passage by the medieval scholar Michael Scot concerning multiple rainbows, a meteorological phenomenon whose existence has only been acknowledged in recent history. We survey various types of physical models to best decipher Scot’s description of four parallel rainbows as well as a linguistic analysis of Scot’s special etymology. The conclusions have implications on Scot’s whereabouts at the turn of the 13th century.
