Wheresoever the Body Is: Image, Matter, and Corporeality on Shakespeare's Stage
Authors: Wagner Matthew
Published: March 2018

What does the visual culture of early modern England, and the ways in which that culture articulated specific notions of corporeality, tell us about the actor’s body on Shakespeare’s stage?  This article locates one answer to that question in the popular emblem books and the somewhat more rarefied cosmographical treatises of the day.  Digging in these sources reveals an understanding of the body that is grounded first and foremost in corporeality – the body, before it was anything else, was matter.  As such, I argue that the actor’s body on the early modern stage served as an instance of irrefutable and irreducible materiality, ‘lending’ its materiality to the abstractions and absences that Shakespeare’s theatre so readily ‘bodied forth.’However, as a wealth of scholarship on the body has suggested over the past few decades, things are not this simple.  The body appears in these arenas as a very specific kind of matter, and matter itself is shown to have a complex relationship to ‘form’, or the immaterial realities of life.  I argue here that the nature of the body-as-matter, and indeed of matter itself, is fruitfully understood in terms of two related early modern concepts: prima materia, and man as microcosm.  These ideas were most in circulation in the distinct but kindred fields of alchemy and cosmography, and their visual manifestations offer a perspective on the theatrical body that does not reduce the body to simplematter, but still acknowledges its profound materiality, and the effect that the body-as-matter has on stage-work as a whole.

Diagnosis of dengue fever: roles of different laboratory test methods
Authors: Banerjee Abhra , Paul Uttam Kumar , Bandyopadhyay Arup
Published: March 2018

Background: Dengue fever is currently the most important arthropod borne viral disease. Since occurrence of dengue infections has been an epidemic in many parts of India and complications like DHF and DSS are increasing, while at the same time the diagnosis is challenging, particularly the laboratory diagnosis is confusing, this study was conducted to evaluate the different laboratory test methods and to compare their respective efficacy, timing, advantages and disadvantages.Methods: This study was done in the Department of Microbiology in collaboration with the Department of Medicine and Pediatrics in two tertiary care medical colleges and hospitals in eastern India. Blood samples from 319 patients with clinical features suggestive of Dengue fever were included in this study. Laboratory investigations were done which included immunological assays that were performed using commercially available kits - SD dengue duo NS1Ag + Ab combo rapid test, NS1 Ag capture ELISA, IgM capture ELISA, IgG capture ELISA test for dengue and other routine tests -full blood cell count, coagulation tests, routine biochemical and lipid profile were also done. Ethical considerations were taken care of and statistical evaluations were done.Results: An increased detection of IgM antibody (46.15%) was seen in the early febrile period (1-5 days) as compared to the mid-febrile period (6-10 days), and late febrile period (6-10 days) when it is 6.89%. IgG antibody is much less in early febrile period (4.16%). Compared to mid-febrile period (24.13%), and late febrile period (62.5%). IgM antibodies were detected in 44.5% of the samples, IgG antibodies were detected in 43.5% of the samples, Rapid test was positive in 36.9% and NS1AG ELISA was detected in 43.5% of the samples in the study.Conclusions: It can be inferred from our study that for detection of dengue in the early febrile period (1-5 days), estimation of dengue-specific serum IgM is the most sensitive antibody detection method.

Background: Ocular morbidities in children can have a serious impact on development, education and quality of life in children hence require prompt attention. This study was conducted with an objective to determine the pattern of ocular morbidity in children less than 15 years of age presenting in the Outpatient Department (OPD) of MKCG Medical College, Berhampur.Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was carried out from August 2016 to January 2017 among 282 children. Data was collected by using a semi structured questionnaire after taking informed consent and analyzed.Results: Majority were in the age group of 10-14 years (55.3%). The common presenting symptoms were blurred vision (29.1%) and headache (7.8%). The common ocular morbidities reported were refractive error (34%), ocular infection (13.5%), ocular trauma (9.9%), allergic conjunctivitis (9.2%). Refractive error was more prevalent in children of aged 11-14 years and ocular trauma in 5-9 years compared to children of the other age group.Conclusions: Majority of ocular morbidities are preventable and treatable. So early attention through eye screening and intervention programme at the community level is recommended.

Authors: Pradhan Butungeshwar , Tripathy Sagnika , Majhi Chakradhar , Behera Tushar K.
Published: March 2018

Background: Sickle cell disease (HbSS) causes much of the morbidity and mortality due to its chronic anaemia and vaso-occlusive painful crisis. Hydroxyurea is now using to treat HbSS. Aspartame appears to have antisickling properties. The objective of this study was to asses the effects of prophylaxis oral Aspartame among HbSS patients on anaemia and vaso-occlusive painful crisis.Methods: 208 cases of HbSS patients with history of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) and/or anaemia were selected for the study and divided into study group (n = 104) and control group (n = 104). 31 and 38 patients were on Hydroxyurea in study group and control group respectively. Baseline hemoglobin was estimated in all cases and oral Aspartame was given in a dose of 4 mg/kg/day in three divided doses. Monthly hemoglobin levels were measured in all cases for six months. Data were collected and compared with control data by using SPSS software version 25.Results: Mean baseline hemoglobin was 6.99 gm% and increased to 8.43 gm% (P <0.05) after receiving Aspartame prophylaxis. Aspartame add on to Hydroxyurea also had increased in haemoglobin levels. Incidence of VOC was 7.26% in control group. In Hydroxyurea group 3.58% had VOC. In study group 1.2% and in add on to Hydroxyurea group had 1.125 of milder degree of VOC (P <0.05).Conclusions: Aspartame appears to have antisickling properties and improves anaemia and decreases frequency and severity of VOC among HbSS patients and is non-inferior to Hydroxyurea.

Background: In patients with acute coronary syndromes, it is desirable to identify a sensitive serum marker that is closely related to the degree of myocardial damage, provides prognostic information, and can be measured rapidly. Author studied the clinical profile of patients with Acute MI and its relation with troponin I level.Methods: In this prospective study, 65 patients admitted with Acute MI were studied. Study patients were divided in Troponin I positive and Troponin I negative group. Patients were followed up to discharge or death in the hospital.Results: Most common symptom present in the patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome was chest pain (94%) and most common risk factor was dyslipidaemia (72.3%). Most common complication was recurrent angina (72.3%). Out of total patients with significant CAD, almost 70 % belong to Troponin I positive group and it is statistically highly significant (p<0.05). Total 30 patients (46.2%) have more than 10 episodes of angina in our study. There is statistically significant association between number of angina episode and Troponin I positivity (p<0.05). Out of total deaths, 73.3% have occurred among Troponin I positive study patients and it is statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: In patients with acute coronary syndromes, cardiac troponin I levels provide useful prognostic information and permit the early identification of patients with an increased risk of death.

Published: March 2018

The liver and skin are the organs most commonly involved in serious adverse drug reactions. Rarely a drug reaction can affect both organs concurrently. The association of drug induced liver injury (DILI) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is even rarer and may be rarely reported. This is a case report on development of both TEN and DILI following use of piperacillin / tazobactam. We describe our experience of DILI occurring in association with TEN including the etiological agent responsible, its clinical/ biochemical characteristics and ultimate outcome.
A Time to Mourn, a Time to Dance: Abortion Death Rituals in South Korea
Authors: Ji Seung Gyeong
Published: March 2018

This essay explores contemporary ChonDoJe, Buddhist abortion death rituals in South Korea. I argue that both the fetus and the participants of the rituals can be conceptualized as biopolitical-spiritual subjects. This research uses participant observation, analysis of ritual texts, and a literature review of population control policies to situate the Buddhist abortion death rituals in the context of the colonial and post-colonial ‘modern’ reproductive regime in South Korea. The rites’ participants have contradictory and multifaceted identities in the transnational biopolitical reproductive regimes as they are constructed as both the targets of population control policies as well as the ‘sinners’ of abortion. I argue that the collective reenactments of past abortions in the rituals have unintentionally conjured those ‘erased’ due to robust population control.

A prosperous and stable world economy is in the self-interest of every nation. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is a worldwide institution that facilitates prosperity and stability, was founded in 1944 to restructure the world economy ruined by the Second World War and to design the postwar international monetary system. Since its inception, IMF has been playing an important role in the promotion of world trade and solving Balance of Payments (BOP) difficulties of its member countries, especially the developing ones. Despite its significant contribution, the IMF has been severely criticized by academics, politicians, and public interest groups on the grounds that it is dominated by the developed nations, and hence better serves the interest of the wealthy nations as opposed to the world’s poor majority. Even after several reforms introduced over a period of 70 years to improve and strengthen the representation of the developing countries, there are four critical issues that are yet to be addressed: dominance, governance, loan conditionality, and quota system. In this context, this paper aims to study the reforms introduced by the IMF over the years, analyze the key areas where reforms are still needed in the light of existing criticisms directed at the IMF’s functioning and governance, and suggest the direction of reforms to address the prevailing challenges faced by the IMF.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is sensitive to salinity stress. The availability of soybean cultivar tolerant to salinity stress is the main key of succeeding of soybean cultural practice on saline affected land. Objective of the research was to evaluate the resistance of soybean germplasms to salinity stress. The research was conducted on saline affected soil in Lamongan District during the dry season (May-August) 2016. Nineteen soybean genotypes that were selected from previous salinity test in the green house were reevaluated in the field using a randomized block design with three replications. Wilis cultivar (sensitive to salinity) used as check. Variable observations consisted of soil properties before planting, number of plant grow at 13 and 41 days after sowing (DAS), plant height at 41, 56 and 71 DAS, chlorophyll content index at 27, 41 and 56 DAS, soil EC at 71 DAS, number of harvested plants, yield and yield components. The results showed that among 19 genotypes tested, only five genotypes that survived up to harvest with plant population 30-50% at high salinity level. Salinity reduced plant population more than 50%, and plant height only 50% from its normal height. Based on soil EC, plant population at harvest, and yield, genotype Karat 13, Grayak 3 and Grayak 5 were identified adaptive to high salinity level with soil EC 11,7-14,4 dS/m, while MLGG 0160 were identified adaptive to moderate salinity level with soil EC up to 9,1 dS/m.

The yield stability of genotype needs to be known before a genotype is released as new variety. The objective of this research was to identify yield and yield stability of rice breeding lines. Multilocational yield trials (MYTs) were conducted at nine locations in the 2009 dry and wet seasons. Ten promising lines were evaluated along with two control varieties, arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The result showed that five lines, i.e. B11007E-MR-3-2-PN-1-2, B10542FKN-90-1, B10533F-KN-12-2, B10543E-PN-17-1, and B10541F-KN-31-3 were considered as stable in all environments. The yield of four stable lines, i.e. B11007E-MR-3-2-PN-1-2, B10542F-KN-90-1, B10533F-KN-12-2, and B10541F-KN-31-3 each was not significantly different from Ciherang. The yield of glutinous rice line B10543E-PN-17-1 also was not significantly different from Ciasem. The yield stability and the agronomic appearance of these two lines were the same or better than those of Ciherang or Ciasem.

Improving Ciherang rice variety for earliness and higher productivity was obtained using Marker Assisted Backcrossing (MAB). Among 78 lines of BC2F4 generation of Ciherang x Nipponbare were obtained from greenhouse and molekuler analysis selection. Field evaluations were conducted at two locations, namely field station of Sukamandi (Indonesian Center for Rice Research, West Java), and field station of Maros (Indonesian Cereals Research Institute, South Sulawesi). Molecular analysis was performed using markers RM1362 and RM7601 which are flanking markers for the QTL region for Hd2 gene, located on chromosome 7. Flowering time and grain yield were evaluated among BC2 F4 lines. Five lines flowered earlier and yielded higher than Ciherang were selected for background analysis using microsatellites covering the rice chromosomes. The earliest flowering line was BC2F4 CihNip-60 (at 74 days, 4 days earlier than that of Ciherang), and the highest yield (which flowered earlier than Ciherang) was BC2 F4 CihNip-23, namely (2.20 t/ha higher than Ciherang). A total of 74 (95%) BC2 F4 lines showed QTL region of Hd2 gene in homozygous condition. This showed that molecular selection from F1 generation of BC2 F4 was able to identify homozygous gens and almost free of contaminant plant. Genetic backgrounds of the five BC2 F2 selected lines were similar to that of Ciherang. Based on the agronomic and molecular marker, twenty five lines of BC2 F4 flowered earlier than did Ciherang and yielded higher than did Ciherang. These lines should be further evaluated for their stability

The use of transgenic varieties on the agricultural production system may provide some agronomical benefits. However, uses of transgenic variety have raised some debates about their potential negative impact on the environment, such as on the decreasing of natural enemies. To study the impact of transgenic variety to the natural enemies, study was conducted on larvae development, and the survival of predatoral insect (V. lineata) on the transgenic Rojolele rice variety. Test was conducted at the laboratory of Molecular Biology, Research Centre for Biotechnology of Indonesian Institute of Science, from January to October 2009. Completely randomized design with 8 treatments and 30 replications were employed. The treatments were transgenic Rojolele rice as follow: 4.2.3-28-15-2-7 and 4.2.4-21-8-16-4 lines contained fusion of two cry genes (cryIB-cryIAa). The 3R9-8-28-26-2 and 3R7-8-15-2-7 lines contained mpi::cryIB gene, the T9-6.11-420 line contained cryIAb gene obtained by particle bombardment, DTcry (azygous) is a segregate and does not contain cry gene (null), DTcry-13 line contained cryIAb gene by Agrobacterium, and non transgenic rice (Rojolele variety). Results showed that there were differences of larvae development and survival of insect predator V. lineata fed on the among transgenic rice lines. On transgenic line T9-6.11-420 and on DTcry-13 line the life time, developmental stages, the number eclosion of adult female, adult insect weight, and survival of the preimaginal and the adult of insect predator were consistently low. On the transgenic line 4.2.3-28-15-2-7; 3R9-8-28-26-2; and 3R7-8-15-2-7 each had no consistent effect on the larvae development and the survival of insect predator. DTcry (azygous) line had no effect on the larvae development and the survival of insect predator. Whereas transgenic line 4.2.4-21-8-16-4 had an effect on the adult weight of insect predator.

Accelerated Aging Machine “IPB 77-1 MM” could be used for soybean seed screening based on the seed storability vigor. The aim of the research was to identify simple, fast and accurate accelerated aging method using accelerated aging machine IPB 77-1 MM. Two methods of accelerated aging test (physical and chemical treatment) were applied to seeds of Anjasmoro soybean variety. The best accelerated aging method was then used to screen seed storability vigor of 23 soybean varieties. Seed storability vigor of 23 soybean varieties were detected using accelerated aging machine IPB 77-1 MM and each was compared with the seed storability vigor of those stored 10 weeks in controlled storage. Results of the experiment showed that using chemical or physical treatment on accelerated aging process were able to decrease seed vigor, but chemical treatment decreased seed vigor faster, more simple and more practical. Accelerated aging machine IPB 77-1 MM could also be used for screening varietal seed storability vigor of soybean using electrical conductivity test.
ASSESSMENT ON THE ISLAMIC BANKING MARKET SHARE PROJECTION BY BANK INDONESIA AND PROPOSED METHODS
Authors: Sukmana Raditya , Kuswanto Heri
Published: March 2018

Indonesian Islamic banking market share projected by Bank Indonesia is an integral part in developing the industry in the country. By setting a projection which will then be used as a benchmark / target, Islamic banks can make a necessary program to attract new customers which eventually increase its asset. If the increase of the asset is significant,the Islamic bank market share may increase. The problem is that the current projection by Bank Indonesia seems to be off target. It means that the projection is pretty much above the actual value. This paper attempts to utilize two projection methods namely Spline and Auto-ARIMA which we think can provide a better result. This study uses the monthly data covering period since January 2006 until December 2012. The result shows that our projections, especially using Spline method, are closer to the actual value of the Islamic banking industry market share. It means that the gap between the projection and the actual value of market share is lesser than the gap on the Bank Indonesia calculation. Moreover, this study argue that, the projection of the Islamic banking market share made by BI will not be achieved unless with government support. So far, government has not made any policy which deposit some of the national budget in the Islamic bank. This study calculates that if government regularly depositing 1% of total National Government Budget in Islamic banks, the projection of Islamic banking market share made by BI will be acheived. As a conclusion, the role of government is very significant in developing the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia.Keywords: Market share Islamic Bank, Spline, Auto-ArimaJEL Classification: E44, E47

This research attempts to analyze the role of productive-based zakat program in reducing poverty level of mustahik (zakat recipient) households from the perspective of material and spiritual dimensions. The study utilizes primary data which is obtained from interview through questionnaire in DKI Jakarta and Bogor Regency. 221 respondents are selected and interviewed as research samples. They are zakat beneficiaries managed by BAZIS DKI Jakarta and Dompet Dhuafa. The primary data collection was conducted on February until May 2015. CIBEST model comprising four indices is used as tool of analysis. These indices are welfare index, material poverty index, spiritual poverty index and absolute poverty index. It is found that the presence of zakat utilization program is able to increase welfare index of the mustahik by 96.8 percent. The material poverty index and absolute poverty index can also be reduced by 30.15 percent and 91.30 percent, respectively. Unpredictable result occurs on spiritual poverty index in which there is an increase of two households living under spiritual poverty. It means that these two zakat recipient households suffer weakening spiritual values despite materially better-off in the presence of zakat program.Keywords:  CIBEST model, Poverty, Productive-based zakat programJEL Classification: O150, R290, Z120, Z190

Published: March 2018

Cash waqf is becoming one of the popular Islamic financial instruments which not only focus on the religiosity but also has significant impact to the ummah development. This waqf scheme does not require richness in wealth, yet everybody in the society can contribute to cash waqf. The importance of cash waqf is getting popular as it has benefited in many ways, for example it can be used to develop assets and abandoned land for business and agricultural purposes. In addition, cash waqf also can be utilized to help institutions who are facing financial problem or liquidity issues. Nonetheless, rarely we found in the literature that empirically examines the cash waqf determinants and contributions. This paper is one of the few empirical studies that investigate the determinants towards the contribution of cash waqf in Malaysia. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the main factors that influence people towards the contribution of cash waqf instruments, special reference to the Klang Valley and Selangor. This paper employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to verify the determinants of cash waqf contribution. In doing so, we use primary data by distributing self-administrated questionnaire constituting a sample of 114 respondents from Klang Valley and Selangor. Our empirical results reveal that the main factors that driven people towards the contribution of cash waqf products are attitude and social influences, however interestingly religion obligation is not influence the contribution of cash waqf.Keywords: Cash waqf, Malaysia, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)JEL Classification: H8

La accidentalidad en las personas mayores es una de las problemáticas de salud que ha sufrido un incremento en los últimos años y explica una parte de la mortalidad con mayor grado de evitabilidad. Conocer mejor esta problemática y desarrollar estrategias de intervención para mejorar su seguridad vial, y a la vez que mejorar su movilidad e independencia, se muestra pues como una tarea prioritaria desde un punto de vista ético y un reto desde el punto de vista científico y profesional.

El objetivo de este trabajo es aumentar el conocimiento sobre este grupo de riesgo. Para ello se ha profundizado en el conocimiento sobre los hábitos de desplazamiento de las personas mayores, la experiencia de accidentes de tráfico de las personas mayores, la conceptualización genérica de los mismos, y su posicionamiento con respecto a otros grupos de riesgo. Para ello se ha aplicado un cuestionario a 6.911 personas de edades comprendidas entre los 60 y 97 años de edad. Además de contemplarse sus diferentes roles de peatón, conductor y pasajero de vehículos públicos, en el presente trabajo se han atendido a las diferencias existentes en función de la edad, sexo y estado civil.

Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que, aunque el porcentaje de mayores que conduce disminuye lenta y de forma progresiva con la edad, sigue siendo elevada la proporción de mayores que los mayores que conduce a diario. Asimismo, observamos que el rol de conductor no es incompatible con el de usuarios de transportes públicos y que, además y de forma específica, el uso del transporte público se incrementa en las edades más avanzadas, cuando precisamente las consecuencias de los accidentes revisten mayor gravedad y complicaciones debido a la fragilidad física de este colectivo. Por otro lado las personas mayores declaran su implicación con una tasa relativamente alta de accidentes, pese a lo cual su conceptualización del mismo no es del todo adecuada, impidiendo el desarrollo de estrategias de autoprotección por parte de este grupo de la población. Todo ello evidencia la necesidad de diseñar e implementar intervenciones centradas en mejorar la salud vial de este colectivo al que, por otro parte, se han dedicado escasas medidas específicas formativas y educativas en materia de seguridad vial.

Published: March 2018

En el presente trabajo realizamos una aproximación al constructo “Resiliencia” en relación con la Autoeficacia Percibida y el Apoyo Social en mayores de 55 años. Presentamos los resultados del estudio realizado con 85 estudiantes del Programa de Mayores de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche acerca de cómo estas dos variables están relacionadas con la Resiliencia en personas mayores; Para alcanzar este objetivo, previamente se ha estudiado la estructura factorial y la consistencia interna de la escala de Resiliencia en nuestra población. Los resultados indican, por un lado, que se trata de un buen instrumento que posee propiedades psicométricas adecuadas de consistencia interna y estructura factorial. Por otro, y tras los datos obtenidos, consideramos que la evaluación de la Resiliencia se ha de realizar sobre personas que han pasado por traumas o eventos negativos muy significativos en su infancia, por lo que nuestra muestra, quizá al no haber pasado por dichas situaciones, se han encontrado bajas puntuaciones en Resiliencia y escasas relaciones con las variables analizadas en el estudio.

Corn Response to Urea–Ammonium Nitrate Solution Treated with Encapsulated Nitrapyrin
Authors: Sassman Aaron M. , Barker Daniel W. , Sawyer John E.
Published: March 2018

Core Ideas

Instinct nitrification inhibitor either did not affect or reduced grain yield.

Instinct did not positively influence early growth plant height or mid‐vegetative canopy normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI).

Broadcasting or injecting urea–ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) did not change corn response to Instinct.

The use of nitrification inhibitors with fertilizer N application is an attempt to improve corn (Zea mays L.) N use efficiency while reducing environmental and economic concerns associated with N losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the encapsulated formulation of nitrapyrin [2‐chloro‐6‐(trichloromethyl) pyridine], Instinct nitrification inhibitor, would influence corn growth and production when applied with spring preplant urea–ammonium nitrate solution (UAN). A 3‐yr field study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replications of a factorial combination consisting of UAN at six incremental N rates (0–225 kg N ha−1), broadcast‐incorporated and injected, and with and without 2.56 L ha−1 (0.56 kg a.i. ha−1) Instinct. In 1 of 3 yr, as well as for the means across years, Instinct applied with UAN had a negative effect of reduced early growth plant height and lower mid‐vegetative canopy normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) compared with UAN without Instinct. Corn grain yield also had a lower across N rate mean yield with Instinct application in 2 of 3 yr and across all 3 yr. The economic optimum N rate (EONR) with Instinct was 32 kg N ha−1 higher than without Instinct, applied either broadcast or injected. Because Instinct did not provide positive effects on corn growth and yield, the study results indicate that Instinct use with spring preplant applied UAN solution would not be an effective nitrification inhibitor to enhance fertilizer N supply or corn production.

Energy cane is a specialized sugarcane (Sacharum spontaneum L.) hybrid developed for high lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production. The optimum planting spacing for energy cane is not known; hence, it has been planted with sugarcane planting spacing. We examined the effect of six plant spacings derived from three inter‐ (1.22, 1.52, and 1.83 m) and two intra‐row (0.61 and 0.91 m) spacings on energy cane growth, physiology, and biomass yield. Energy cane was planted in fall 2012, was harvested after establishment in 2013, and was allowed to ratoon for biomass yield in 2014 and 2015. The plant spacing had varied effects on energy cane growth and physiology, but no effect on biomass yield. Wide spacing resulted in increased tiller and leaf numbers, but spacing had no effect on other growth and physiological parameters at the p < 0.05 level. The results suggested that energy cane possesses the ability to adjust plant growth according to plant spacing without compromising its biomass yield and can effectively use wide spacing (1.83 × 0.91 m) commonly adopted for sugarcane planting. Wide spacing can reduce seeding cost and energy during planting and will allow the use of existing sugarcane farm machinery for energy cane production. The high biomass yield (18.8–25.1 Mg ha−1) of energy cane obtained in this study also suggests that energy cane can be successfully produced for lignocellulosic feedstock.

Neste artigo apresentam-se os desafios da sociedade e do poder público em pautar a mobilidade segura e sustentável como prioridade, assim como focar na qualidade de vida das pessoas durante os percursos diários. Ainda que todo o cidadão tenha seu direito de ir e vir, essa mobilidade está cada vez mais comprometida, especialmente nas grandes cidades. Nelas, não há espaço para tantos veículos nas vias públicas, sendo urgente a necessidade da compreensão da alternativa do compartilhamento entre os modais. É preciso apagar da memória que via pública serve somente para veículos motorizados individuais. Outros modais, como a bicicleta e o pedestre, precisam ocupar os espaços, sem melindres. Com o passar dos anos, o agir da sociedade, obedeceu a lógica dos interesses da indústria automobilística e o status que o veículo traz para o cidadão. Ainda se combate, neste artigo, o forte discurso dos governos que entendem que sem a produção de veículos, não há desenvolvimento, consumo e empregos. Todavia, não se consideram os custos com mortes em ocorrência de trânsito e o peso sobre o sistema público de saúde. Deflagradas estas questões, a cidade de Curitiba, com a maior frota de veículos per capita entre as capitais, vem apresentando algumas alternativas que possibilitam destacar como essenciais para uma mobilidade harmônica. Aparatos como semáforos inteligentes e inovações como a área calma e vias calmas são medidas impopulares, porém, necessárias. Por fim, foca-se no desenvolvimento do Desafio Intermodal, inaugurado pela Universidade Federal do Paraná, pelo Programa Ciclovida e por um grupo de professores comprometidos com a cidade, como uma maneira de apresentar quais os modais de transporte se apresentam mais eficazes durante o rush. Tão exitoso foi o Desafio, que em 2015 foi implementado nas escolas da rede municipal de ensino, como alternativa de ensino na transversalidade.

A SOBERANIA ALIMENTAR SOBREVIVE Á ATUAL QUESTÃO AGRÁRIA?
Authors: Bordenowsky da Silva Thais , Haliski Antônio Marcio
Published: March 2018

Neste texto realizar-se-á uma breve introdução ao debate sobre soberania alimentar e a questão agrária. O objetivo é mostrar que os números relacionados a produção no campo evidenciam que a soberania alimentar é condição intrínseca da agricultura familiar, ou seja, desenvolve-se com ela. Isso contraria as análises pautadas em números como do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) de países ou regiões, pois são genéricos e englobam a produção do agronegócio que acaba diminuindo a importância da produção em pequena escala. Para tanto, se faz necessário uma exposição da situação produtiva e números de produção para que posteriormente se evidencie a relevância da agricultura familiar. Ao final aponta-se que necessariamente o caminho da segurança alimentar está, dentre outros fatores, na promoção de políticas públicas e práticas de pesquisa e extensão sobre o mundo rural.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar como a ciência e a tecnologia estão presentes na rede da saúde infantil, principalmente no que se refere ao desenvolvimento motor. Para isso, foi realizada uma análise baseada na Teoria Ator-Rede de Michel Callon (1986) buscando identificar os atores envolvidos no processo de desenvolvimento infantil e como eles se relacionam entre si. Como contribuições, destacam-se a importância de se conhecer a realidade local para fomentar a criação de políticas públicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento da criança e o destaque para o debate para as questões sociais no âmbito das pesquisas em saúde.
A DIFÍCIL BUSCA PELA CRISTALIZAÇÃO DO CONCEITO DE DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL PELA PERSPECTIVA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO TECNOLÓGICO

Published: March 2018

A tecnologia e o meio ambiente são elementos pertencentes ao campo da Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade. Da sua interação é possível observar resultantes que impulsionam a uma racionalidade produtiva. As práticas produtivas dependentes do meio ambiente geraram formas de percepção e técnicas específicas para a apropriação social da natureza e da transformação do meio. Esse entendimento gera a problemática ambiental, que pode ser identificada pelo viés da perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentávelcomo o momento de transformação. Uma vez a participação de outros autores e a geração de outros interesses faz que o paradigma da sustentabilidade seja visto como uma ciência e que a esta ciência seja atribuída uma nova perspectiva.O desenvolvimento sustentável pode ser compreendido a partir da interação de três áreas. Os recursos naturais, ou o meio ambiente, como a “área ambiental”; o capital, como a “área econômica”; e por sua vez, o Estado, representado como a “área social”. Desta forma, podemos formar utilizando estas três áreas o tripé da sustentabilidade que baseia o conceito de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Na busca de novos conceitos ou definições sobre desenvolvimento sustentável, os avanços tecnológicos proporcionam novas discussões. E a partir destas, novos conceitos, ou até mesmo paradigmas, podem ser gerados. Podemos dizer que um conceito único e imutável deste desenvolvimento seria impraticável. Esse seria, então, o foco dessa discussão, definir sustentabilidade não com um fim ou um objetivo único a ser alcançado, mas o desenvolvimento sustentável como um processo que permeia e orienta todo o desenvolvimento tecnológico de uma sociedade.

Published: March 2018

As Organizações do Terceiro Setor (OTS) são empresas privadas sem fins lucrativos que visam atender às necessidades de grupos sociais que nem o Estado nem o mercado tem interesse por estar fora de sua lógica. Em geral sua atuação está inserida em associações filantrópicas, ensino, saúde e atividades sociais. As instituições religiosas inserem-se nesse segmento por determinação de lei civil. Destacando a Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil, que, além do ensino religioso, tem participação nos ramos da saúde, do ensino escolar, dos trabalhos filantrópicos, principalmente aos seus membros e frequentadores. Este trabalho, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa do tipo descritiva e exploratória de estudo de caso único com três unidades de análise, com coleta de dados documentais e entrevista semiestruturada, verifica que as igrejas pesquisadas aderem às boas práticas dos princípios de governança corporativa, pela estrutura administrativa e códigos de conduta e ética, podendo servir de orientação administrativa para outras instituições religiosas.

Published: March 2018

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o nível de estresse e o grau de satisfação relacionado ao trabalho e verificar se existe correlação entre esses dois parâmetros, considerando gestores da área comercial. A amostra foi formada por 114 gestores, que responderam ao questionário eletrônico, constituído por três partes: Perfil dos respondentes, Escala de Estresse no Trabalho e Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho. O escore médio de estresse obtido foi de 2,24, indicando nível médio de estresse ocupacional e destacando o tempo insuficiente para realizar o volume de trabalho como fator estressor. Em quatro das dimensões de satisfação no trabalho o escore médio foi classificado como estado de indiferença, havendo tendência à insatisfação no tocante à questão de remuneração. O teste de correlação de Spearman demonstrou que o estresse apresenta correlação negativa e significância estatística com as cinco dimensões de satisfação no trabalho, apontando que, quanto menor a satisfação no trabalho, maior o estresse. Este estudo impulsiona reflexões sobre práticas e políticas, especialmente direcionadas para a área comercial, que tenham como enfoque a satisfação do indivíduo em seu ambiente laboral, a fim de otimizar o bem-estar pessoal e, consequentemente, a performance e a própria imagem organizacional.
