PARA UMA CONCEPÇÃO PÓS-COLONIAL DO DIREITO DE ACESSO À JUSTIÇA
Authors: Lauris Élida
Published: June 2016

Uma releitura do acesso à justiça tem como primeiro desafio a denúncia do encerramento do debate sobre o acesso na simulação de uma tensão inexistente entre estrutura e ação em que esta última é sempre incorporada num processo de reforço e melhoria da primeira, o qual deve apoiar e pelo qual deve esperar. De um lado, vê-se a ação enquanto movimento implícito de mudança social que se dirige à expansão do papel das profissões e das estruturas jurídicas. De outro lado, o antagonismo criativo aos modos de funcionamento do direito e do Estado pela ação é simplificado como suplemento de participação no sistema jurídico, isto é, alternativas de acesso ao direito. Se não há lugar para a mudança radical da estrutura, o desvelar das ineficiências representam um eterno retorno da iniciativa de transformação à ação social. A revisão da compreensão de acesso à justiça requer, por isso, que se revisite as colaborações forjadas e as tensões ocultas na relação entre Estado e sociedade civil no que toca às reformas de ampliação do acesso ao direito. Este artigo procura depurar a conceção compreensiva do acesso à justiça, submetendo-a ao crivo de uma análise crítica do lugar do Estado e da sociedade civil na construção de políticas de acesso à justiça nos estados democráticos pós-modernos.
A JUSTIÇA QUE SE CUMPRE SEM O ESTADO: ESTUDO DE CASO COMPARATIVO DAS RESISTÊNCIAS E DA PERMANÊNCIA DAS COMUNIDADES QUILOMBOLAS EM SEUS TERRITÓRIOS
Authors: Gomes Lilian C. B.
Published: June 2016

O presente artigo pretende apresentar o resultado da pesquisa de pós-doc (CNPQ) que analisou, através de estudo de caso comparativo, a resistência e a permanência de três comunidades quilombolas de Minas Gerais em seus territórios: Brejo dos Crioulos, Luizes e Mumbuca. O desafio foi o de analisar o modo como estas comunidades concretizaram formas contra-hegemônicas de acesso ao território onde vivem, pois ao se manterem no espaço geográfico que habitam, construíram um modo próprio de criar, fazer e viver (Constituição Federal, inciso II, art. 216) efetivando, assim, a justiça ainda que sem o Estado-nação. Ao permanecerem e resistirem nos territórios eles acessam a justiça sem o Estado. Indica-se, nesse artigo, de que modo essa justiça sem o Estado se constitui em ferramenta jurídica plural para pressionar o Estado a efetivar a política pública de titulação dos territórios. Palavras-chave: justiça; justiça sem o Estado; políticas públicas; quilombos.
O COMPORTAMENTO DIANTE DO PARADIGMA BEHAVIORISTA RADICAL
Authors: Carrara Kester , Zilio Diego
Published: July 2016

A questão da definição de comportamento frequenta a literatura científica de diversas áreas do conhecimento há mais de um século, sem que os pesquisadores tenham estabelecido acordo sobre aspectos fundamentais envolvidos no tema. As principais discussões estão vinculadas à identificação ou não do termo com atividade, ação, relação, evento e interação. Este artigo recupera parte do contexto histórico de evolução do termo, aponta implicações derivadas de se optar por alguma dentre as principais definições disponíveis e elabora um cenário analítico que – espera-se – possa contribuir com a comunidade de analistas do comportamento para realizar escolhas consistentemente contextualizadas de uma definição de comportamento especialmente direcionada ao âmbito do comportamento operante tal como formulado pelo Behaviorismo Radical.  Palavras-chave: comportamento; behaviorismo; análise do comportamento.
O QUE NÃO É E O QUE PODE VIR A SER COMPORTAMENTO
Authors: Todorov João Claudio , Henriques Marcelo Borges
Published: July 2016

O termo “comportamento” pode ser utilizado em diferentes contextos com diferentes significados, mas na Análise do Comportamento ele às vezes é utilizado como sinônimo da palavra “interação”. Interações, no plural, são o objeto de estudo da Psicologia e, na Análise do Comportamento, são estudadas por meio da análise de contingências. Contingências não se restringem a operantes, mas quando a literatura na área se refere à definição de comportamento, ela normalmente o faz descrevendo a contingência operante: comportamento em interação com o ambiente. Palavras-chave: comportamento; contingências; análise do comportamento.
A FORMAÇÃO DE CIDADÃOS “DISTINCTOS E MORIGERADOS” NA PROVÍNCIA DO GRÃO PARÁ: 1870-1889
Authors: Barbosa Andreson Carlos Elias
Published: June 2016

O artigo objetiva apresentar sucintamente os resultados de um estudo mais amplo sobre o atendimento à criança desvalida no Grão Pará, destacando o Instituto Paraense de Educandos Artífices. Tem como questão base: qual o objetivo principal do governo da Província com a fundação desse Instituto? As fontes primárias utilizadas foram: os relatórios presidenciais e dos diretores do Instituto, a legislação educacional local, minutas de ofícios, e jornais que circulavam na província à época. Os resultados revelam que o atendimento oferecido se caracterizou como mais um instrumento de consolidação dos ideais iluministas produzidos na Europa, materializados no projeto civilizador de transformar índios e mestiços em cidadãos “distinctos e morigerados”. Palavras-chave: Província do Grão Pará. Criança desvalida. Instituto Paraense de Educandos Artífices.
EDUCAÇÃO, MEIO AMBIENTE E SAÚDE NA VIDA SATERÉ-MAWÉ: UMA ANÁLISE BIOECOLÓGICA
Authors: Weigel Valéria A.C.M. , Becker Maria Alice D’Ávila
Published: June 2016

O texto discute as relações entre educação, meio ambiente e saúde em comunidades sateré-mawé. Focalizam-se saberes e valores morais e míticos que dão sentidos e significados a comportamentos na produção do bem-estar; e elementos das condições sociais, econômicas e políticas do contexto em que se (re)produz a saúde. A análise baseia-se na teoria bioecológica de Bronfenbrenner (1996), segundo a qual a apreensão das pessoas se dá em contextos que compreendem a interação de quatro níveis ambientais: microambiente, mesoambiente, exoambiente e macroambiente. Nesses níveis combinam-se fatores de risco e fatores de proteção em arranjos sempre provisórios. Foi produzida uma interpretação de como está se apresentando, na área sateré-mawé, o arranjo desses fatores em cada um dos quatro níveis ambientais. Palavras-chave: Educação e meio ambiente. Sateré-Mawé. Educação e saúde.
BRINCADEIRAS DAS CRIANÇAS NO COTIDIANO ESCOLAR
Authors: Oliveira Cristiane Elvira de Assis
Published: June 2016

Neste texto, busca-se apresentar o que as professoras da Educação Infantil narram a respeito das brincadeiras e dos jeitos de as crianças brincarem no cotidiano escolar. As brincadeiras das crianças, no recreio coletivo, estão despertando nas professoras a imaginação, atualizando suas memórias. Outros jeitos de brincar emergem nas brincadeiras infantis, ampliando os saberes fazeres das professoras. Por meio da brincadeira, a criança se conhece e conhece o mundo ao seu redor. As professoras consideram o faz-de-conta importante para se descobrir o que a criança sente e pensa, como ela vê a realidade em que está inserida e como vê o trabalho delas. Destaca-se, também, a importância do tempo do brincar para as crianças, numa escola de educação em tempo integral. Palavras-chave: Brincadeira. Criança. Cotidiano.
FILOSOFIA COM A TERCEIRA IDADE A PARTIR DO CUIDADO DE SI: UMA ABERTURA AO SER EM SI
Authors: Silva Alex Sander da , Azeredo Jéferson Luís , Oliveira Paula De
Published: July 2016

O presente artigo pretende fazer uma incursão reflexiva sobre o tema do cuidado de si na aproximação entre o conhecimento de filosofia de Martin Heidegger e Michel Foucault. Aqui pretende-se fazer uma reflexão sobre o que é a filosofia e seu papel nos contextos atuais, particularmente, em espaços não comuns da reflexão filosófica, a saber, grupos de pessoas idosas. Desse modo, num primeiro momento, traçamos algumas dimensões fundamentais do conhecimento filosófico de Heidegger, entendido como um saber crítico do pensar e agir humanos. Num segundo momento, destacamos o tema na perspectiva de Foucault num significado do cuidado e cultivo de si. Ambas discussões norteiam as configurações do projeto de extensão “A filosofia vai à terceira idade”, cujo principal objetivo se configura em proporcionar uma alternativa para se pensar uma aproximação entre o conhecimento filosófico com pessoas idosas.
Disability, Sexual Health, and Participatory Video: Advocating for Sexual Rights
Authors: Sitter Kathleen C.
Published: June 2016

This action research study addresses sexual health as a critical human rights issue in the disability community. Twelve participants engaged in the co-creation and editing of a series of videos about the dimensions of sexual rights as experienced and understood by persons with developmental disabilities. The participants also uploaded the videos onto digital platforms and took on the role of community educators while incorporating their videos into their larger advocacy campaign.This article begins with a brief review of the literature on sexual health and disability, noting there is a paucity of research that considers storied narratives when exploring the topic of sexual rights and disablement. Drawing on critical disability theory and Freirean pedagogy, the second section explores how a group of adults with developmental disabilities used participatory video as an advocacy tool in disrupting colonial voices through reclaiming histories and leading discussions about their sexual rights. Further implications and limitations to this study are also addressed.
Challenges and encouraging educational practices: Observations from field experiences
Authors: Mebratu Belete
Published: June 2016

This study is an analysis of the reported observations of teacher candidates about the challenges and encouraging practices at schools following their field experiences visits required to meet course work and licensure for teaching.  The findings of the study indicate that the participants of the study observed that classroom teachers face the challenges of too much workload, meeting the needs of too many students who need support, lack of resources, classroom management, changes of curriculum and policies, and meeting the needs of diverse students. The candidates, however, are encouraged by their observations of the use and applications of a wide variety of instructional approaches, the prevalence of a culture of a community of learners and co-operations, discipline systems, applications of technology and inspiring teachers’ professionalism and commitment to make differences in the lives of their students. Ways of addressing the observed challenges include measures of providing support staff and assistants to the classroom teacher, supplying classrooms with adequate resources, efforts to involve parents and guardians in the education of their children and in the affairs of schools, refocusing teacher education programs on those reported areas of challenges classroom teachers face, and ongoing in-service trainings and professional development programs for teachers.
Decolonial pedagogy through transcultural narrative inquiry in the contact zone
Authors: Gill Hartej , White Vincent
Published: June 2016

Given the often tokenistic, ahistorical and apolitical approach to mainstream multiculturalism employed in schools, this paper theorizes transculturalism and decolonial thinking from a pedagogical perspective while also considering its potential as a transformative method of inquiry. Of particular interest to the authors is how employing transcultural narrative has the capacity to explore colonialism outside and beyond a conventional historical context in order to understand its impact on the present day. To this end, the authors discuss transcultural narrative as a form of decolonial pedagogy and inquiry, one that invites messy and often uncomfortable intro/trans-spective reflections where conflicting cultural, social and historical locations come into contact. This contact zone effectively compels unsettling dialogue between the colonizer/settler and the colonized, whiteness and color, privilege and marginalization, obstructionist and agency/ally work etc, locations which the authors argue are best understood collectively, relationally, and along a continuum rather than as a fixed binary. The authors present an example of this form of engagement (in the form of a transcultural narrative between an instructor and guest speaker), including the rationale through which it was actualized as well as some of the new inner/understandings that emerged from the inquiry experience. The potential to employ transcultural narrative as a pedagogical process of inquiry is also discussed.
Exotic/Other: Narratives of Muslims, the Role of Media and Popular Culture
Authors: Syed Khalida
Published: June 2016

This commentary paper explores experiences of Muslims being identified as an exotic/other by the media after September 11, 2001. The writer’s experience of being chosen for attention because of her Muslim female dress code, headscarf, during a National Aboriginal Day of Action, was a surprise for her. Instead of paying attention to the event, a media reporter questioned “why I covered”. This narrative introduces a poignant awareness of the power of media to make choices that identify and define the exotic/other. Narratives of another Muslim woman and two Muslim men illustrate the role of the media and popular culture to form and represent identities. The purpose of this commentary is to show how, in becoming aware of how we as individuals and the media in our culture, in the post 9 – 11 society, are reacting, choosing, refusing, and accepting the making of our identities.
Islamic Identity in the Canadian Multicultural Context
Authors: Omar Abdullah A.
Published: June 2016

This paper aims to explore aspects of Islamic identities in the Canadian multicultural context. It argues that Islamic identities face challenges in the Canadian liberal multicultural context, largely because multiculturalism in Canada was initially designed for well-integrated European ethnic groups and it may not have been intended to foster Islamic identity. Further, some Muslims have a significant problem with a multiculturalism that marginalizes religious beliefs and values in favor of secular inclusiveness. The paper presents the core elements of Islamic identities as well as the challenges of external pressures. It notes that while Islamic identities are anchored firmly on the concept of Ummah, Muslims may develop multiple affinities, which adds another dimension to the Canadian mosaic. The paper recommends accommodating faith communities, including Muslims meaningfully.  It invites Muslims to join the multicultural conversation with a genuine Islamic voice.  Further, it encourages the Muslim community to respond to the negative image effectively.
Men’s Perception of Women’s Role and Girls’ Education among Pashtun Tribes of Pakistan: A Qualitative Delphi Study
Authors: Jamal Aamir
Published: June 2016

This paper examines how Pashtun men perceive women’s role and girls’ education. A modified two-round Delphi exercise was followed by in-depth qualitative interviews with Pashtun men of diverse backgrounds, including representatives of religious and political groups. The interviews demonstrated that the sociocultural status of women, and consequently their access to education, remains deeply tied to Pashtunwali (tribal code) and rigid religious interpretations. Though at times contradictory, the ideas and stereotypes arising from religion, culture, and politics were found to meaningfully shape men’s attitudes about women’s participation in community and education. However, the study found that, compared to rural and tribal areas, these traditions and restrictions are not as rigidly practiced in the urban and plains areas. Understanding men’s views is a starting point. The next step is to engage men in the collective struggle for gender justice.
Lipids: Functional Effects and Clinical Application in Parenteral Nutrition
Authors: Yang Soo Jin
Published: June 2016

Lipids are structural components of cellular membrane and functional components exerting an important role in different metabolic pathways through regulation of cell signaling and metabolic homeostasis. Although the human body can synthesize some fatty acids, essential fatty acids (EFA) should be exogenously provided. Parenteral nutrition (PN) can be utilized to provide EFA for patients without normal gastrointestinal functions and those at risk of malnutrition. Parenteral lipids provide more energy-dense nutrition in a reduced volume and prevent EFA deficiency. However, prolonged PN with lipid emulsions is associated with metabolic complications including PN-associated liver disease. Currently available parenteral lipid emulsions provide various combinations of soybean oil, fish oil, olive oil and medium-chain triglycerides. The effects of parenteral lipid emulsions on the lipid nutrition status and PN-associated complications vary depending on the type and dosages of main oil sources used in parenteral lipid solutions. Therefore, understanding the composition, metabolism, and functional effects of lipids can be helpful in considering their clinical applications in PN.
An Analysis Of The Position Of Assistant Principal Of The Year In Indiana: An Analysis Of What Is Really Important
Authors: Mercer Stephen D.
Published: July 2016

This work is an analysis of the alignment between schools associated with an Indiana Assistant Principal of the Year, as selected by the Indiana Association of School Principals, and increases in academic performance of those schools on state mandated “high stakes” academic tests.  The focus was on school improvement using annual school report card data. Using a design looking for association and a Chi Square analysis, a significant positive correlation was identified.  The results shed some light on the potential excellent practices of assistant-principals and student academic achievement gains.  Although a positive correlation was found, the results can only give ideas for leadership consideration.  They are not considered predictive because of the ex-post facto nature of the data allowing for no manipulation of variables.
Physical Attacks: An Analysis Of Teacher Characteristics Using The Schools And Staffing Survey
Authors: Williams Jr Thomas O. , Ernst Jeremy V.
Published: July 2016

This study investigated physical attacks as reported by public school teachers on the most recent Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) from the National Center for Education Statistics administered by the Institute of Educational Sciences. For this study, characteristics of teachers who responded affirmatively to having been physically attacked in the past 12 months were examined. Teacher characteristics associated with being physically attacked appeared to be proportionate to those found in the general population of teachers who were not physically attacked. Several notable exceptions were gender, school type, years of experience, and school location. The mean number of physical attacks varied greatly within all characteristics examined. Of the twelve teaching areas, special education had the highest percentage of teachers who reported being physically attacked in the past 12 months and the highest mean number of physical attacks per teaching area.
An Empirical Assessment Of The EFQM Excellence Model In Purchasing
Authors: Hemsworth David
Published: July 2016

This study focuses on the important concepts of quality management, internal customer satisfaction, and business performance within the neglected purchasing unit of manufacturing firms on the basis of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model, thus, filling a void in the existing literature. In doing so, this study tests the viability of the EFQM model in a single functional unit. Three hypothesis were generated based on the EFQM model to identify the specific relationships between purchasing’s quality management practices (EFQM enabler), internal customer satisfaction, and business performance (EFQM results). The hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling based on a sample of 306 purchasing agents within manufacturing. The results indicated that the EFQM seem to be a viable model that represents what impacts implementing QMP enablers will have on the resultants, ICS and OP. Additionally, the results identified that the extent of adoption of quality management purchasing has a direct positive impact on improving internal customer satisfaction and an indirect positive impact on business performance mediated by internal customer satisfaction, as predicted by the EFQM model. This study highlights the positive impact of adoption of EFQM in the purchasing area, thus, lends support to purchasing departments trying to justify the implementation of quality management practices to their administrations. Additionally, it gives upper management, looking for ways to improve the company’s bottom line, the specifics to do this through the implementation of quality management practices in purchasing. Management and purchasing departments are given a blueprint for improving their performance.
The Determinants Of Household Savings In South Africa: A Panel Data Approach
Authors: Zwane Talent , Greyling Lorraine , Maleka Mokadi
Published: July 2016

This study employs panel data estimation models to investigate the determinants of household savings in South Africa over the period 2008 – 2012. The novelty of some panel data models is their power to overcome the problems of endogeneity bias, in addition to controlling for unobserved heterogeneity across households. The study used the three waves of the new unique and rich first national representative longitudinal survey, the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), which tracks changes in individuals’ livelihoods over time. The distinctiveness of NIDS data is that it is available in a panel format and can be used to investigate the structure and impact of different aspects of socio-economic factors on household savings. The results of this study reveal that household savings in South Africa are strongly driven by income, age structure, education achievement and employment status. Yet the causal nexus between savings and the household size was found to be negative, a sign that larger families compromise households savings prospects.
Simultaneous Determination Of Stock Price Synchronicity And Dividend Payout Ratios: Evidence From The MENA Region
Authors: Farooq Omar M. , ElBannan Mona A.
Published: July 2016

This paper examines the determinants of cross-sectional differences in stock price synchronicity and dividend payout ratio in the MENA region during the period between 2003 and 2013. These variables are related not only directly, but also indirectly, through their relationship with information environment of firms. To distinguish these effects, we examine the determinants of both variables within a system of equations. Our results indicate that both of these variables affect each other negatively. We argue that higher information asymmetries associated with firms exhibiting high synchronicity leads to lower payout ratios, while lower information asymmetries that accompany firms paying high dividends lead to lower synchronicity.
The Influence Of Personal, Family And Social Variables On Technology-Oriented Venture Creation: Theoretical Case Of Internet Cafés In Bloemfontein, South Africa
Authors: Rambe Patient , Mokgosi Bridgette
Published: July 2016

In an increasingly competitive, technology-driven world, the pressure for small, technology-oriented firms in developing countries to be productive and efficient has never been more intense. For technology-oriented firms such as internet cafés, which are now in constant competition with inexpensive, low threshold, ubiquitous technologies such as mobile phones and social media for availing internet resources and providing personalised learning environments respectively, the need to understand the critical determinants of the establishment and sustenance of small technology-oriented ventures demands rigorous investigation. Despite the central place of internet cafés as the dominant points-of-access of internet resources for low socio-economic groups in South Africa, there is paucity of in-depth knowledge on the critical variables influencing the establishment of such technology-oriented ventures. This research gap is attributed to the independent and fragmented examination of micro-level (personal demographic variables such as gender, age, income and language of manager/owners), institutional (such as family role models, family entrepreneurial values and support) and macro-level variables (as manager/owner’s prior scientific literacy such as their participation in STEM subjects, social prejudice) that shape and influence the creation of technology-oriented ventures. The thesis of this theoretical paper, therefore, is that an integrated perspective that combines these micro-level, institutional and macro level factors would provide a more inclusive, authentic view of the process of establishing small internet cafés in emerging economies. The contribution of this paper is an integrated conceptual framework premised on the combined influences of determinants of technology-oriented ventures and their implications for technology oriented venture creation.
Mobile Technology Risk Management
Authors: Sahd Lize-Marie , Rudman Riaan
Published: July 2016

Mobile technology is fast becoming an indispensable part of consumers’ lives and an essential business tool in improving productivity, streamlining business processes and remaining competitive. The mobile revolution is transforming business operations, but the pervasive nature of mobile technology also introduces new and significant risks into all areas of the businesses.  In most businesses, however, the governance of mobile technology and its related risks is often disjointed and implemented in an ad hoc manner, resulting in all risks not being addressed. This lack of appropriate governance policies and procedures is a direct consequence of a lack of understanding of the technology and the speed at which new technologies are developed and adopted. If the risks are not addressed in a comprehensive manner, it could have severe consequences for a business. The objective of this research is to address this problem by using an appropriate control framework, Control Objectives for Information Technology (COBIT), to identify a comprehensive set of internal controls to address mobile technology risks at a governance, management and operational level. The research proposes a comprehensive set of internal controls which can be used by those charged with governance to manage each significant risk arising from the implementation of mobile technology.
Key Success Factors Of Tourist Satisfaction In Tourism Services Provider
Authors: Kerdpitak Chayanan , Heuer Kai
Published: July 2016

The research was to investigate actual factors affecting tourist satisfaction to the tourist services provider industry. The conceptual framework was developed from the literature review and survey in the area, and other contemporaneous research in tourism marketing. Accordingly, the researchers consider the importance of the factors of trust, personnel relationship, services quality, facility quality, and tourist satisfaction.In this the researchers employed the quantitative research approaches. The instruments of research were steps of a questionnaire. Data were collected from 395 foreign people who come as tourists to Thailand. The data collected were analyzed using the path modeling and on the basis of observing the actual tourist satisfaction of the organizations studied through all operational links in the supply chain.Findings are as follows: Applications of trust, personnel relationship, services quality and facility quality were explanatory of the variance in tourist satisfaction at 44.6 percent (R2 = 0.446). Each factor involves significant aspects with the total being 25. All aspects should be addressed if problems are to be successfully solved over the long haul.
Gender Differences In Calling And Work Spirituality Among Israeli Academic Faculty
Authors: Lazar Aryeh , Davidovitch Nitza , Coren Gal
Published: July 2016

In order to examine possible gender differences in work calling and work spirituality, 68 university academic faculty members responded to self-report multidimensional measures of these constructs. No gender differences were found for the attribution of the source of a transcendent summons, with a majority of respondents indicating internal potential, society’s needs, destiny, and family tradition as sources of this summons. MANOVA indicated that women had higher scores in comparison with men for two dimensions of calling - search for a transcendent summons and prosocial motivation – and for two dimensions of work spirituality - engaging work and mystical experience at work dimensions of work spirituality.
Integration at the workplace studies within multinational pharmaceutical factories in Hungary
Authors: Kozák Anita
Published: June 2016

The primary objective of this essay is to assign a gap in Human Recourse Management literature. Many studies and resources are known about hiring and maintaining people and their loyalty to organizations. Work socialization is the first step to keeping people; however, most of the literature on integration at the workplace focuses primarily on organizational commitment and not on the individuals. Various perspectives of work socialization have been discussed including socialization stages, guidance and carrier development. This essay focuses on the approach of Human Resource Management, but the scope is expanded to the individual as well. In this paper, the reasoning, the methods and the questions of my future doctoral research on integration at the workplace are analysed. First, the issue is discussed from the perspective of social changes in Hungary. The next part of this essay illustrates varying definitions from the literature, providing then my own view of how to explain the integration process in the workplace and through which what I would like to focus my research. This article also aims to show possible methods (in-depth interviews with Human Resource Managers and document analysis) for examining the topic at multinational pharmaceutical factories in Hungary, while highlighting the most important questions for which my research aims to find answers.
A comparison of the Hungarian mangalitza and dutch organic pork chains
Authors: Pocsai Krisztina
Published: June 2016

The aim of this paper is to present the Hungarian mangalitza pig and Dutch organic pig supply chains and, in interrogating the differences between the two sectors, to make suggestions for the efficient operation of the Hungarian mangalitza breeding sector. The information about the two was sourced by a depth interview and literature reviews. It is established that there are few similarities between the two segments. In both sectors, the pigs are kept outdoors in large paddocks, there are also National Associations: in Hungary, the Association of Mangalitza Breeders (NAMB), in The Netherlands, the Organic Pork Growers. They hold a general meeting every year, where they discuss issues such as volume, quality, price, marketing and the future challenges and opportunities. There is strong demand both for the mangalitza and also for Dutch organic pork products on foreign markets. The main difference between them is their information systems. In The Netherlands, information flows via FarmingNet, but in the mangalitza sector, no such system exists. Yet, such a system would represent a breaking point for the adequate flow of data and efficient production for the NAMB, because then, Hungarian farmers would be forced to supply data.
The role of trust in cooperation between farmers – the outcomes of a survey in Békés county
Authors: Takács István , Takácsné György Katalin , Baranyai Zsolt
Published: June 2016

Local socio-economic cooperation arrangements can contribute to the development of adequate solutions which can compensate the negative impacts of globalization. One of the specific areas is agriculture. Capital-intensive technology is the key element in the competitiveness and viability of firms. The present paper reviews the factors affecting the joint machine use arrangements of agricultural producers, with special regard to the role of trust. The questions of trust are examined in two dimensions: contractual and competence trust. On the basis of the survey carried out among farmers a positive connection was detected between the level of trust and the farmers’ activity in cooperation arrangements. Our results also pointed out that the trust needed in different areas of cooperation is very different. The experiences indicate a tendency, according to which contractual trust is more important in intensive cooperation arrangements which result in higher dependence, while competency trust is more emphasized in more extensive solutions.

Dilatación de estenosis esofágica proximal con balón guiado por endoscopia y radiografía en potro falabella
Authors: Mira Hernández Juliana , Posada Arias Silvia , Castillo Franz Cristian Alejandro , Vélez Mejía Mariana
Published: July 2016

Las estenosis esofágicas son causadas, generalmente, por necrosis, consecuencia de la presión ejercida por impacciones esofágicas que erosionan y ulceran la mucosa esofágica, además de las lesiones causadas por la ingestión oral de agentes corrosivos, el trauma cervical y las estenosis congénitas. Los procedimientos de dilataciones esofágicas se han utilizado en pequeños animales y en humanos para el tratamiento de estenosis; pero son escasamente utilizados en caballos, debido a la cantidad de sesiones que se requieren para obtener el éxito y a la escasa información publicada al respecto. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la efectividad de la dilatación esofágica con balón guiado por endoscopia y radiografía en un potro falabella con estenosis esofágica mural, producto de una obstrucción. El resultado fue exitoso, pues el animal, después de cinco sesiones seguidas de dilataciones, toleró la vía oral para alimentos sólidos y así fue sometido a observación durante seis meses, sin complicaciones evidentes.
Respuestas de adaptación al estrés térmico en mamíferos
Authors: Lenis Sanin Yasser , Zuluaga Cabrera Angélica María , Tarazona Morales Ariel Marcel
Published: July 2016

El ambiente al que los animales tienen que enfrentarse es una combinación de factores naturales. Cambios extremos en estos factores pueden alterar la homeostasis y conducir al estrés térmico. Este puede resultar tanto de temperaturas altas como de temperaturas bajas. Cuando se somete a los animales a estrés térmico, se activan mecanismos fisiológicos que pueden incluir respuestas endocrinas, neuroendocrinas y de comportamiento. Los mecanismos desarrollados a través de la evolución para que los animales se adapten a temperaturas ambientales altas y alcancen termotolerancia incluyen cambios fisiológicos y físicos, a fin de reducir la ingesta de alimentos y la producción del calor metabólico; de aumentar el área superficial de la piel para disipar el calor; de aumentar el flujo de sangre para llevar el calor del núcleo del cuerpo a la piel y las extremidades para disipar el calor, o de aumentar el número y la actividad de las glándulas sudoríparas, el jadeo, la ingesta de agua y la adaptación del color del sistema de tegumento para reflejar el calor. La exposición crónica al estrés térmico puede causar enfermedad, reducir el crecimiento, disminuir el rendimiento productivo y reproductivo y, en casos extremos, llevar a la muerte. El objetivo de este trabajo es explicar las respuestas físicas y fisiológicas de los mamíferos al estrés térmico, como una herramienta para la adaptación al entorno biológico, haciendo hincapié en las lagunas de nuestro conocimiento y ofreciendo algunas recomendaciones para controlar el estrés en el sistema de producción animal.
Prevalencia de fascioliasis en animales poligástricos de Perú, 1985-2015
Authors: Valderrama Pomé Aldo Alim
Published: June 2016

This literature review aims to compile publications from 1985 to 2015, such as original articles, short communications and case reports, on the prevalence of liver fluke in cattle, sheep and goats in Peru as well as to collect scientific articles, conference proceedings and theses carried out at Peruvian universities. A descriptive and transversal bibliometric study was performed, with an internet search strategy based on the combination of keywords and Boolean operators used in databases such as Science Direct, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, and Proquest. Peru has many hyperendemic areas of fascioliosis in cattle and sheep (>50 %), which are within the highest in the world. Goats only have mesoendemic infection rates (10-50 %). The age group of full mouth goats presents the most prevalence within all three species, but the variable of sex shows no significant difference.

Published: July 2016

Objetivo: identificar o perfil dos idosos portadores de HIV/AIDS (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana/ Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida), do município de Divinópolis-MG, em tratamento no Serviço de Assistência Especializada (SAE). Método: tratou-se de um estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa e análise absoluta e relativa dos dados. Foram coletados dados dos pacientes através de um instrumento  estruturado, composto por nove perguntas sobre o perfil dos idosos com HIV. Resultados: mostraram que a maioria era do sexo masculino, tinha vida sexual ativa, usava preservativos e a escolaridade predominante foi o ensino fundamental. Quanto à forma de transmissão do HIV, eles acreditavam se contaminar pelo beijo na boca, pela picada do mosquito e da mãe para o bebê através do leite materno. Em relação ao grupo de risco, com um alto índice percentual de resposta, os idosos negaram fazer parte deste grupo. Na avaliação sobre campanhas de prevenção destinada ao público idoso, referiram desconhecer tal ação. Conclusão: o estudo demonstrou que os idosos com HIV em tratamento no Serviço de Assistência Especializada (SAE) de Divinópolis/MG apresentam lacunas no conhecimento quanto ao grupo de risco e formas de transmissão do HIV/AIDS.

O presente artigo trata de um breve episódio no qual se narra uma experiência prévia do êxodo do Egito e das dificuldades que o mediador Moisés vai encontrar para realizar a sua missão. A presente análise faz uso de uma abordagem mais sincrônica, privilegia e explora a dimensão literária, na qual é possível perceber, com mais clareza, tanto o sentido literal como o sentido pleno encerrados no texto. Evita-se cair na tentação que levou muitos estudiosos no passado a se preocupar muito mais com o processo e as etapas de formação do que com o resultado final. A razão para essa opção advém da percepção de que as tensões encontradas no texto não testemunham somente a história do desenvolvimento, mas também o forte desejo de criar um relato unificado, a fim de que a mensagem fosse mais facilmente perceptível ao ouvinte-leitor: uma experiência e uma expressão de fé em um Deus providente e previdente.

The traditional white brined cow cheese was tested as a delivery vehicle for probiotic bacteria. The cheese was manufactured from pasteurized cow’s milk at an industrial scale, at the same time in three batches, each of 1000 liters milk. Two different initial concentrations of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus casei (3.86·107 and 5.81·107cfu g–1) were used. The cheese had relatively short period of ripening (40 days), large percentage of fat (~52% d.m.) and suitable pH values (~4.5) for the survival of probiotics. At the end of the ripening, the probiotic counts were 1.74·108and 3.72·108cfu g–1, respectively. There was no significant difference in most of the quality parameters at the p < 0.05 level between the two probiotic cheeses. Nitrogen fractions and fat content were the key components influencing the overall quality of the cheese samples. The principal component analysis of the sensory attributes demonstrated that the flavor contributed the most to the overall acceptance of all types of cheeses.

The pimelates of the earth-alkaline elements and pimelic acid have been synthesized and studied. All prepared pimelates are crystallohydrates and Ba and Sr pimelates are isotypic. The obtained compounds have been characterized using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, and it was found that, near and above the melting temperature of polypropylene, the pimelates of Ba and Sr are crystalline, whereas the ones of Ca and Mg are amorphous. The nucleation activity of these pimelates has been studied in the process of crystallization of polypropylene in non-isothermal conditions and followed by differential scanning calorimetry (at cooling rate Vc  = 1–20 K min–1). It was found that their nucleation activity, even at concentration of 0.1 %, differs considerably with regards to the cooling rate, and they induce different polymorphic composition of the polymer. The nucleation activity was mostly exhibited by Ca pimelate, and when it was used the content of the β crystalline phase (Uβ) in polypropylene ranged from 0.90 to 0.94, depending on the cooling  rate, compared to 0.18–0.35 when Mg pimelate was used. In the polymer crystallized by using Ba and Sr pimelate as nucleators, Uβ ranged from 0.47 to 0.77. Based on the theoretical concepts for nucleation activity of solid substrates, an attempt was made to correlate the structurаl features of the synthesized pimelates with their β-nucleation activity in the process of  nonisothermal crystallization of iPP.
Diasporescence in rubies from Prilep dolomitic marble
Authors: Jeršek Miha
Published: July 2016

Rubies from the Prilep dolomitic marble contain numerous diaspore inclusions, resulting from oriented intergrowth with corundum. In the world of gemstones, this phenomenon has been recognized as diasporescence, which has to date been researched only in the cases of corundum crystals from Macedonia. The paper describes the importance of diasporescence for the appearance and thus the quality of rubies, in which the inclusions of diaspore are also a distinctive character for the determination of the origin of this renowned gemstone. Diaspore is colourless to white and affect on intensity of red to pink colour of ruby as a gem.  Macedonian rubies are the only rubies from around the world with inclusions of diaspore and that´s why also the only rubies with optical phenomena diasporescence.
IR analysis of the carboxylate forms in structurally determined [CuII(κ3-L)2] species isolated from different acidic solutions

Several copper(II) coordination compounds with the tridentate κ3-N,N,O bisligand (L = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate or its molecular acid form HL = Hbdmpza) were synthesized from different starting metal salts in appropriate acidic water solutions as reported. The XRD single crystal structural analysis reveals neutral acidic ligand form in [Cu(HL)2]·2(HSO4) (1) and [Cu(HL)2]·2Cl (2), while ionic in [Cu(L)2]·(CH3COOH)·(H2O) (3), and [Cu(L)2]·2(H2O) (4). The molecular structures of 2 and 3 are first reported herein, thus enabling a clearer insight for the IR - structural analysis. Two carboxylate C-O bond lengths ranges, namely differing 1.29/1.22 Ǻ for 2, and the same 1.24/1.24 Ǻ for 3, respectively, are in agreement with the single(longer)/double(shorter) character of both bonds for the neutral carboxylic  HL in 2, and the same character of both bonds for the carboxylate anionic L- in 3, as seen for the related 1 (HL) and 4 (L-). The most distinguished IR spectra difference for the molecular (HL) / ionic (L-) is at the 1700 cm-1 carboxylate band. The C=O free ligand (HL) double bond position at 1740 cm-1 is most similar with 1702 cm-1 in 1, while a split band at 1697, 1665 cm-1 is seen for 2. On the other hand, the anionic asymmetric carboxylate stretching IR band (`nas(COO−)) for 3 (1642 cm-1) and 4 (1635 cm-1) is found at lower energy region. Thus, the additional band within the same region, as seen only for 3 at 1716 cm-1, is assigned to the network neutral acetic acid C=O double bond.
Minerals from Macedonia. XXVIII. A tribute to academician Gligor Jovanovski
Authors: Šoptrajanov Bojan
Published: July 2016

It is both rewarding and difficult to write a review article about the contributions of acade­mician Gligor Jovanovski to the study of minerals from Macedonia.

It is rewarding because these contributions are exceptional scientifically and, in addition, serve as a clear sign for the existence of a country named, despite denials from some quarters, Macedonia or, more fully, Republic of Macedonia.

On the other hand, it is difficult to briefly summarize the content of over 50 scientific papers, published mainly in distinguished international journals and cited many, many times in the scientific literature.

Since this review article is published in the present special issue dedicated to academician Gligor Jovanovski, accepting the challenge I now try my best to give the reader a fair presentation of the content of the papers on minerals from Macedonia and a deserved tribute to their author.

It should be noted that the work on the minerals from Macedonia does not cover all research interests of academician Jovanovski and that the reviewed papers deal with studies in several scientific fields. The early papers dedicated to the study of minerals from Macedonia are spectroscopic in nature (at first by conventional infrared spectroscopy and later enriched by the use of Raman and FT IR spectroscopy). Such a state of matters is a natural consequence of the availability of spectroscopic equipment, on the one hand, and the active spectroscopic work at the Institute of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science, on the other. Needless to say, a number of co-workers from the Institute of chemistry actively participated throughout in the studies by academician Jovanovski as may be seen in the list of references given below. 

Without having X-ray diffraction instrumentation on hands, Jovanovski devoted a respectable portion of his research of minerals to crystallographic (X-ray) studies. Clearly, such studies would not have been possible without the open-handed cooperation of researchers from Zagreb and Uppsala and the perseverance of Jovanovski himself. 
As the instrumental basis of the Institute of Chemistry grew and diversified and as an active research practice using the corresponding techniques took place, in his portfolio Jovanovski included the work with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (AES–ICP) and neutron activation analysis. Again, some of these studies were carried out in cooperation with researchers from institutions where the corresponding equipment was available.
