O valor democrático da participação na política cultural sueca
Authors: Sol Sofia Lindström
Published: December 2019

Através da exploração da política cultural sueca, este artigo analisa o modo como a política legítima o apoio às artes e à cultura e a “participação” é importante para este processo, discutindo a forma como diferentes entendimentos da cultura e a participação se relacionam com as noções variáveis da governação democrática na cultura. O artigo discute de que modo um discurso abrangente de cultura considerado positivo e, por conseguinte, de interesse e responsabilidade para a política, pode ser entendido como dois discursos: 1) a cultura é positiva, pois promove coisas boas e 2) a cultura é positiva, pois evita coisas más. Estes dois discursos estão assentes em lógicas diferentes e determinam o conceito de participação de diferentes formas, contudo são construídos como se fossem compatíveis. O significado de governação democrática na cultura é também interpretado de forma diferente nos dois discursos – a proteção da autonomia, igualdade no acesso à cultura e participação como parte integrante são classificadas como democracia corporativista, ao passo que a garantia de sociedades sustentáveis em risco e a participação como igual possibilidade de influência são classificadas como democracia populista. Esta quebra no discurso é interpretada como sinal de redução da legitimidade de um discurso corporativista da democracia, no qual especialistas tiveram o poder de decidir o conteúdo da política cultural. Este artigo integra a discussão sobre o papel da participação e da democracia na política cultural.

Authors: Ferreira Ricardo Maia , Ferreira Pedro Lopes , Cavalheiro Luis , Duarte José Alberto , Gonçalves Rui Soles
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is becoming increasingly important in Physical Therapy (PT). For proper designing, implementing, disseminating and evaluating EBP in PT, a valid and reliable questionnaire measuring attitudes, knowledge, behavior, prerequisites, and barriers related to EBP and guidelines is needed. One questionnaire that could be used to collect this information is the “EBP Questionnaire”, developed by Jette et al. 2003. However, to our knowledge, no Portuguese version or published study with the Portuguese PT population was performed using this questionnaire. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate the “EBP Questionnaire” to European Portuguese and for the PT population. Material and Methods: A draft version was pilot tested for content validity (n=17), and a revised version was tested for test-retest reliability (n=72). The percentage of agreement and the Kappa coefficients between the 2 tests were analyzed. Additionally, the internal consistency was calculated. RESULTS: The preliminary final version of the European Portuguese EBP questionnaire was well accepted (only the items 22, 23, 45-51 needed to be reviewed). The mean average percentage of agreement was 82% (ranged 58–97%), and the Kappa coefficients were 0.658 (ranged 0.336–0.844). In the internal consistency, the mean average Cronbach’s ? coefficients were 0.665 (ranged 0.365–0.879). CONCLUSION: The results suggested that this questionnaire can be a useful instrument for measuring self-reported beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors related to EBP in the Portuguese PTs context.

Published: December 2019

На основании исследований с использованием рентгеновской порошковой дифракции с применением расчета по методу Ритвельда установлено, что цеолитовый туф Ягоднинского месторождения состоит из клиноптилолита-Na (23.0 %), клиноптилолита-Са (52.1%) и морденита (12.9%). В результате сорбции тяжелых металлов происходит изменение параметров кристаллической решетки морденита, прослеживается уменьшение размеров в направлении осей a и b и уменьшение объема элементарной ячейки обработанного цеолита по сравнению с исходным в ряду: Cu→Ni→Co→Fe. Рассчитана величина обменной емкости по никелю, кобальту, меди и железу при обработке цеолитов индивидуальными растворами, а также их смесью, ее значение изменяется от 9 до 18 мг-экв/кг в зависимости от состава раствора. Во всех случаях наблюдается превышение количества вещества вытеcненных катионов над количеством вещества поглощенных катионов, так при насыщении цеолита кобальтом вытесняется на 5.5%. больше обменных катионов; при насыщении медью или железом – на 11.9-12.0%, соответственно. Максимальное превышение количества вещества вытесненных катионов над количеством вещества поглощенных катионов наблюдается при насыщении цеолита ионами никеля – до 25%. Отмечается, что наряду тяжелыми металлами в обменной реакции участвует растворитель – вода, что подтверждается изменением рН элюата на 1-2 единицы в щелочную область. На основе сопоставления количества вещества поглощенных катионов с количеством вещества вытесненных катионов, установлено, что преобладающим является механизм ионного обмена

Исследование влияния фитогормона кинетина на состав свободных жирных кислот растений кукурузы в условиях гипоксического стресса методом газожидкостной хроматографии
Authors: Ershova Antonina N. , Sterligova Irina A.
Published: December 2019

Свободные жирные кислоты растений кукурузы метилировали диазометаном. Газохроматографический анализ метиловых эфиров жирных кислот показал, что доминирующими были миристиновая (С14:0), пальмитиновая (С16:0), пальмитолеиновая (C16:1) и линолевая кислоты (С18:2). При гипоксии в клетках отмечалось накопление C16:1 и С18:2, что увеличивало уровень ненасыщенности (u/s). Подобное действие оказывала и СО2-среда. Предобработка проростков кинетином предотвращала накопление ненасыщенных жирных кислот, нормализуя уровень их ненасыщенности. Предполагается, что кинетин способен тормозить распад фосфолипидов и их перекисное окисление, что повышает устойчивость к действию гипоксии и СО2-среды

Identification and Characterization of LEA Genes in Ash Tree (Fraxinus excelsior) Genome
Authors: UĞURLU BAYARSLAN Aslı
Published: December 2019

Aim of study: LEA proteins have a critical role in the abiotic stress response of plants. Ash belongs to the olive family and its genome sequence is complete. The LEA genes has not been extensively analyzed, although there are annotations in the ash genome. Therefore, it was aimed to perform genome-wide analysis of LEA genes in ash genome using bioinformatic tools in this study.

Materials and methods: Ash and LEA protein sequences were obtained from the Ash Tree Genome and LEAP database respectively. Homologous LEA peptides in ash were found using CLC Genomic Workbench 11. Properties of ash LEA proteins were determined with Expasy PROTPARAM. MEGA7 was used to construct the phylogenetic tree. Functional analysis of ash LEA proteins was carried out via Blast2GO. miRNAs targeting transcripts of ash LEA proteins were detected with psRNATarget. The three-dimensional structures of ash LEA proteins were predicted using PHYRE2.

Main result: 118 LEA genes (FexLEA) were identified in ash genome. FexLEA were divided into 5 distinct clusters according to phylogenetic analysis. The major molecular function of FexLEA was found as the binding activity. miR838 was the most common miRNA targeting FexLEA transcripts.

Highlights: This study will provide the basis for further functional analysis of LEA proteins in ash.

Authors: ÖZŞAHİN Şükrü , SİNGER Hilal
Published: December 2019

Aim of study: The power consumption of machining operations is an important part of the total production cost. Therefore, in this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to model the effects of treatment, rotation speed, cutting depth, and feed rate on power consumption in the wood milling process. Material and methods: A multilayer feed-forward ANN was employed for the prediction of power consumption. The accuracy of the model was assessed by performance indicators such as MAPE, RMSE, and R². Main results: It has been observed that the ANN model yielded very satisfactory results with acceptable deviations. The MAPE, RMSE, and R2 values were obtained as 7.533, 0.027, and 0.9737 %, respectively, in the testing phase. Furthermore, it was found that power consumption decreased with decreasing of feed rate and cutting depth. Research highlights: The findings of this study can be used effectively in the forest industry to reduce the experimental time and costs.

Dirofilaria immitis emergence assay for individual or pools of mosquitoes v1
Authors: Povelones Michael , Mccrea Abigail
Published: December 2019

This assay is for determining the number of infective third-stage (L3) larvae capable of emerging from individual mosquitoes. These are referred to as emerging L3 or eL3. This assay can be used to quantitatively measure how mosquito manipulations or filaria manipulations affect eL3. This assay can be performed on groups of individual mosquitoes in a 96-well plate, or en masse in a large petri dish. The latter format is useful for producing large numbers of eL3 for assays, such as motility, molting, transformation, or for infection of a naive host animal. In addition, since the assay can be performed on large number of input mosquitoes with little increase in effort or cost, it offers a favorable low-tech alternative to other mosquito infection diagnostic methods, such as PCR or dissection when live-caught mosquitoes are available. This protocol assumes that you are starting with a population of infected mosquitoes by a filarial nematode. We have tested the protocol with Aedes aegypti (Blackeye strain) infected with Dirofilaria immitis and maintained at with 80% RH. Emerging L3 are produced as early as day 12. The last day that we have checked is 21 days post infection, but it is very likely eL3 can be produced for the lifespan of the infected mosquitoes. We saw maximum yields at day 13 and beyond. The same Ae. aegypti strain infected with Brugia malayi was not tested in as many conditions, however, we found robust and similar yields at days 12-14, but did not establish the minimum incubation time. We also tested a strain of Ae. albopictus following D. immitis infection and that it also is capable of producing eL3.
Motoric Training Alters Speech Sound Perception and Production — Active Listening Training Does Not Lead into Learning Outcomes
Authors: Peltola Kimmo U. , Tamminen Henna , Alku Paavo , Kujala Teija , Peltola Maija S.
Published: December 2019

Accurate speech-sound perception and production are prerequisites for communication in a non-native language. Earlier research has shown that new categorization and pronunciation patterns evolve in different learning settings and that these skills can be trained with various methods. We tested the effects of two types of training protocols on the production and identification of L2 vowels embedded in a pseudo-word context. Group 1 (Producers) participated in a listen and repeat training, where they produced the target stimulus /tᵾ:ti/ and the non-target stimulus /ty:ti/ after the example in a pseudo-randomized order; Group 2 (Listeners) was instructed to count the number of targets /tᵾ:ti/ in the same stimulus train without any motoric production movements. The results showed clearly that listen and repeat training led to plastic changes both in production and in identification, while no learning effects were obtained with the listening paradigm. This suggests a significant role of motoric experience in the acquisition of speech.
Calculation of static pressure field of liquid phase in the active zone of cavitation-jet deaerator
Authors: Barochkin Yu.E. , Gorshenin S.D. , Leduhovsky G.V. , Shuvalov S.I. , Zinovieva E.V.
Published: December 2019

In cavitation-jet deaerators, the process of desorption of dissolved gases proceeds when boiling overheated water is directed in the form of a swirling vortex flow into the rarefaction zone. The removal of gases is carried out from the cavitation pocket formed along the flow axis. Such deaerators are characterized by relatively low efficiency. However, their small dimensions and the ability to work without supplying a heating coolant make them useful in cases where effective deaerators of other types cannot be applied by weight and size characteristics or temperature conditions. The expansion of the scope of practical application of cavitation-jet deaerators is hampered by the lack of appropriate mathematical description that would allow solving the problems of their schematic and constructive improvement. One of the main tasks in this case is to calculate the static pressure field of the liquid phase in the deaerator core. There are no ready-made solutions to this problem in the framework of previous studies. Thus, it is relevant from scientific and practical viewpoint to develop a simulation model of active zone of cavitation-jet deaerator, which allows determining the hydrodynamic characteristics of water flows and gas-vapor mixture when the elements, the mode of water supply and drainage evaporation change. Modeling the hydrodynamic situation in the active zone of cavitation-jet deaerator is based on the numerical solution for the Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation. These equations are written in the Reynolds decomposition. In this case, the standard k- turbulence model is used to obtain a preliminary solution, which is then refined during the transition to the SST turbulence model. The model is implemented by means of a software package for calculating fluid flows FlowVision. For the first time, a simulation model of the active zone of cavitation-jet deaerator was developed, which made it possible to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of water flows and gas mixture when the elements design, the mode of water supply and drainage evaporation change. The field of static pressures of liquid phase in the active zone of cavitation-jet deaerator is determined. The results obtained do not contradict the published data describing the operation of cavitation-jet deaerators. In particular, they confirm an increase in the probability of deaerator overflow when gas exhaust is turned on. The results also prove the presence of a significant dependence of the deaeration efficiency on the hydraulic resistance of the evaporation suction tract. Based on the results obtained, a mathematical model of the deaeration process under the considered conditions can be developed.
Love and marriage in Vl. Solovyev 's «The justification of good»
Authors: Marchadier B.
Published: December 2019

Vl. Solovyov wrote extensively about love in his romantic and mystical poetry, in his correspondence and in his memoirs. He composed a whole book about love («The Meaning of Love», 1892-1894). The present paper is about the theme of love in Solovyov's moral philosophy as expounded in his «Justification of the Good» (1897). Love in the framework of society is legitimised in marriage, both religious and civil. Solovyov sees in marriage and family a positive consequence of the development of statehood. The problem is that he considered for a long time that the sexual act is unable to restore the lost integrity of the human being. Only chastity can. To get out of the difficulty, Solovyov invokes an «inner» (spiritual?) procreation different from an «outer» procreation. But it does not make things clearer. It seems that, in the last year of his life, Solovyov abandoned that spiritual maximalism, as is proved a contrario by the character of the Prince in «Three Conversations», who is both a celibate spiritualist and a precursor of the Antichrist.
«Solovyov is significant enough to withstand a truthful and critical assessment»: Simon Frank's paper on Vladimir Solovyov (1925)
Authors: Aliaiev G.Е.
Published: December 2019

The paper focuses on Simon Frank’s relation to Vladimir Solovyov’s religious and philosophical ideas. The use of historical, critical, and textual research methods enables to analise possible influence of those ideas on Frank in different periods of his creative biography. It is stated that despite an apparent fundamental difference in perception of Solovyov’s philosophy by the “early” and “late” Frank, in fact, his changing attitude to Slovyov was not so radical. The article also presents here an archival manuscript - by Simon Frank’s report on Vladimir Solovyov - that has not been known before. The text, having been taken into account of other sources, is attributed as the paper read on November 15, 1925 in Berlin. On the basis of analytical study of this text, as well as the paper “Die russische Weltanschauung” published in 1926, it is concluded that Frank almost invariably kept his critical position towards a number of certain features of Solovyov’s philosophical conception, and towards his abstract rationalism in particular. However, in the mid-1920s, and not only in his latest works, Frank defined Soloviev’s worldview - as well as his own – as panentheism and justification of the idea of Divine humanity.
The ways of the Bible: an interpretation of antique and biblical motives in the works of M.A. Voloshin
Authors: Smagina E.B.
Published: December 2019

This article is about the evolution of the poetic work of Maximilian Voloshin in the context of Russian history of the early twentieth century. It reflects the formation of the religious and philosophical worldview of this poet-philosopher. The hypothesis is discussed that under the influence of tragic events, wars and revolutions, the biblical motives increasingly replace the antique ones, and the contemporary historical events are interpreted in terms of biblical history. In this connection a general view of the subject is given, as well as an analysis of the language, metrics, imagery and style of Woloshin's poetry at different moments of his creative work. It appears that if earlier the poet often tended to adapt antique verse and strophe to the Russian syllabo-tonic poetry, in the works of the epoch of wars and revolution he imitates the biblical poetry several times, and then he goes on to an unrhymed tonic verse, with the line divided into two hemistichs. Thereby the antique images, topoi and metaphors give way to biblical allusions, combined with realistic details of the period of terror and mass executions. It is proved that Crimea-Cimmeria, which had previously been an area of the ancient oecumene for the poet, an abode of the ancient gods, appears as an arena of the fulfilled prophetic and apocalyptic visions of the Bible in the post-revolutionary period of his work. It is alleged that history itself, which had previously been depicted as a cycle, according to ancient tradition, turns into a vector of destruction. Concerning the Old Testament history, the poet's attention is mostly attracted to prophetic books, and he chooses the most mystical images from the New Testament, chiefly from St John’s Book of Revelation. Moreover, some Gnostic motifs are combined with the Biblical ones. The cosmic allegory of Christ as the spirit "crucified" in the matter is considered as an example which goes back to the Gnostic teachings of Late Antiquity. It is also concluded that Voloshin’s hope for a future revival of Russia after passing through the crucible of trials also fits into the framework of the biblical tradition.
Cognitive and Behavioral Correlates of Achievement in a Complex Multi-Player Video Game
Authors: Large Adam M. , Bediou Benoit , Cekic Sezen , Hart Yuval , Bavelier Daphne , Green C. Shawn
Published: December 2019

Over the past 30 years, a large body of research has accrued demonstrating that video games are capable of placing substantial demands on the human cognitive, emotional, physical, and social processing systems. Within the cognitive realm, playing games belonging to one particular genre, known as the action video game genre, has been consistently linked with demands on a host of cognitive abilities including perception, top-down attention, multitasking, and spatial cognition. More recently, a number of new game genres have emerged that, while different in many ways from “traditional” action games, nonetheless seem likely to load upon similar cognitive processes. One such example is the multiplayer online battle arena genre (MOBA), which involves a mix of action and real-time strategy characteristics. Here, a sample of over 500 players of the MOBA game League of Legends completed a large battery of cognitive tasks. Positive associations were observed between League of Legends performance (quantified by participants’ in-game match-making rating) and a number of cognitive abilities consistent with those observed in the existing action video game literature, including speed of processing and attentional abilities. Together, our results document a rich pattern of cognitive abilities associated with high levels of League of Legends performance and suggest similarities between MOBAs and action video games in terms of their cognitive demands.
Elements of Infrastructure Demand in Multiplayer Video Games
Authors: Mirowski Alexander , Harper Brian P.
Published: December 2019

With the advent of organized eSports, game streaming, and always-online video games, there exist new and more pronounced demands on players, developers, publishers, spectators, and other video game actors. By identifying and exploring elements of infrastructure in multiplayer games, this paper augments Bowman’s (2018) conceptualization of demands in video games by introducing a new category of ‘infrastructure demand’ of games. This article describes how the infrastructure increasingly built around video games creates demands upon those interacting with these games, either as players, spectators, or facilitators of multiplayer video game play. We follow the method described by Susan Leigh Star (1999), who writes that infrastructure is as mundane as it is a critical part of society and as such is particularly deserving of academic study. When infrastructure works properly it fades from view, but in doing so loses none of its importance to human endeavor. This work therefore helps to make visible the invisible elements of infrastructure present in and around multiplayer video games and explicates the demands these elements create on people interacting with those games.
Modality-Specific Effects of Perceptual Load in Multimedia Processing
Authors: Fisher Jacob Taylor , Hopp Frederic René , Weber René
Published: December 2019

Digital media are sensory-rich, multimodal, and often highly interactive. An extensive collection of theories and models within the field of media psychology assume the multimodal nature of media stimuli, yet there is current ambiguity as to the independent contributions of visual and auditory content to message complexity and to resource availability in the human processing system. In this article, we argue that explicating the concepts of perceptual and cognitive load can create progress toward a deeper understanding of modality-specific effects in media processing. In addition, we report findings from an experiment showing that perceptual load leads to modality-specific reductions in resource availability, whereas cognitive load leads to a modality-general reduction in resource availability. We conclude with a brief discussion regarding the critical importance of separating modality-specific forms of load in an increasingly multisensory media environment.
Editorial: Video Games as Demanding Technologies
Authors: Bowman Nicholas David
Published: December 2019

From the middle-20th century to today, video games have grown from an idiosyncratic interest of computer programmers and engineers to a globally dominant form of media entertainment. Advances in technology and creativity have combined to present players with interactive experience that vary in their cognitive, emotional, physical, and social complexity. That video games constitute co-authored experiences—dialogues between the player and the system—is at least one explanation for their appeal, but this co-authorship brings with it an enhanced set of requirements for the player’s attention. For this thematic issue, researchers were invited to debate and examine the cognitive, emotional, physical, and social demands of video games; their work (as well as the impetus for this work) is summarized below.

Published: December 2019

Research goals and objectives: the purpose of the article is to study the feasibility of graphics processors using in solving linear equations systems and calculating matrix multiplication as compared with conventional multi-core processors. The peculiarities of the MAGMA and CUBLAS libraries use for various graphics processors are considered. A performance comparison is made between the Tesla C2075 and GeForce GTX 480 GPUs and a six-core AMD processor. Subject of research: the software is developed basing on the MAGMA and CUBLAS libraries for the purpose of the NVIDIA Tesla C2075 and GeForce GTX 480 GPUs performance study for linear equation systems solving and matrix multiplication calculating. Research methods used: libraries were used to parallelize the linear algebra problems solution. For GPUs, these are MAGMA and CUBLAS, for multi-core processors, the ScaLAPACK and ATLAS libraries. To study the operational speed there are used methods and algorithms of computational procedures parallelization similar to these libraries. A software module has been developed for linear equations systems solving and matrix multiplication calculating by parallel systems. Results of the research: it has been determined that for double-precision numbers the GPU GeForce GTX 480 and the GPU Tesla C2075 performance is approximately 3.5 and 6.3 times higher than that of the AMD CPU. And the GPU GeForce GTX 480 performance is 1.3 times higher than the GPU Tesla C2075 performance for single precision numbers. To achieve maximum performance of the NVIDIA CUDA GPU, you need to use the MAGMA or CUBLAS libraries, which accelerate the calculations by about 6.4 times as compared to the traditional programming method. It has been determined that in equations systems solving on a 6-core CPU, it is possible to achieve a maximum acceleration of 3.24 times as compared to calculations on the 1st core using the ScaLAPACK and ATLAS libraries instead of 6-fold theoretical acceleration. Therefore, it is impossible to efficiently use processors with a large number of cores with considered libraries. It is demonstrated that the advantage of the GPU over the CPU increases with the number of equations.

This case study examines the time capsule as an object of collective memory, how it fits into an institutional collection, the archivist's work to document and recover materials in two recently discovered time capsules, and how to work with multiple institutional departments to make them accessible. It suggests best practices for time capsule discoveries and outreach.
Playing Activity with Orientation as a Method for Preschool Development
Authors: Solovieva Y. , Quintanar L.
Published: December 2019

According to Vigotskian conception, psychological development of children occurs within the frames of cultural activities. Each form of activity may be expressed as a kind of narration or personal emotional involvement experienced by a child in different periods of childhood. One of essential kinds such experience is playing activity, engaging collective participants in a global social situation: children and adults. Playing activity with variety of modes and types of games, different in diverse social and historical conditions, may provide interesting psychological opportunity to study content, structure and stages of same activity. Games may differ by a variety of parameters. In this study the authors are interested in presenting two kinds of expression of playing activity: organized games with external orientation introduce by adults. Such types of games imply communication and collaboration within groups of preschool children in preschool institutions. The article presents phases of introduction of playing activity, kinds of means of external orientation proposed by adults and examples of concrete games with procedure of implementation. The authors discuss qualitative achievements in psychological development of preschool children as a result of participation in playing activity. The authors conclude that essential methodological approach of historical and cultural conception of development should be used together with conception of psychological structures activity. Such an approach might be useful for qualitative understanding of meaningful development at preschool age.

Trabalho a tempo parcial. Algumas notas = Part-time work. Some aspects
Authors: Martins João Zenha
Published: December 2019

O texto trata do contrato de trabalho a tempo parcial e da sua associação a um pacto de exclusividade, fazendo-se também uma análise do reconfiguração do trabalho a tempo parcial no ordenamento laboral português. Havendo aspetos de regime que no plano laboral não estão imunes a uma leitura crítica, é, contudo, no enquadramento previdencial dos trabalhadores a tempo parcial que o Direito português se mostra dificilmente compatível com o sentido da jurisprudência do Tribunal de Justiça.The text concerns the part-time employment contract and its relation to an exclusivity pact. The reorganisation of the part-time work in the Portuguese labour law is also analysed. Despite the fact that there are aspects which, at work level, are not exempt of a critical reading, it is on part-time welfare framework of workers where the Portuguese Law is poorly compliant with the jurisprudence sense of the Court of Justice.

Authors: Podolano Andréia Arend , Mosmann Clarisse Pereira , Falcke Denise
Published: December 2019

O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender a percepção de adolescentes sobre o consumo de álcool em suas famílias, nas quais pelo menos um dos pais fosse dependente químico em abstinência. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória, com base no paradigma sistêmico. Foram entrevistados quatro adolescentes utilizando-se questionário de dados sociodemográficos, entrevista semiestruturada, entrevista de dilemas e AUDIT-C. Na análise de conteúdo foram identificadas quatro categorias temáticas: (1) história e contexto familiar de abuso de substâncias e abstinência (2) fatores de proteção para o não uso de álcool por adolescentes, (3) fatores de risco para o uso de álcool por adolescentes e (4) contradições e ambivalências dos adolescentes quanto ao uso de álcool. Todos os adolescentes entrevistados tinham conhecimento da história dos pais quanto à dependência química e abstinência, o que os levou a evitar o uso de álcool. Porém, em um dos casos, o grupo de pares e as questões transgeracionais se apresentaram como fatores de risco. Na entrevista de dilemas, os participantes demonstraram ambivalência quanto ao uso de álcool. Destaca-se a necessidade de atenção aos fatores transgeracionais envolvidos no abuso e dependência do álcool.
Pesquisas com Mulheres que Entregam os Filhos para Adoção: Relato de Experiência
Authors: Siqueira Aline Cardoso , Faraj Suane Pastoriza
Published: December 2019

O objetivo desse relato de experiência foi compartilhar as dificuldades e os desafios enfrentados no processo de desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre as mulheres que entregam o filho para adoção. Foi descrito e discutido o processo metodológico de três estudos que tratam da complexa temática da entrega de um filho, realizados em Hospitais Públicos, em um Juizado da Infância e Juventude, Conselho Tutelar e Estratégias de Saúde da Família. Os impasses e problemas vivenciados junto a instituições de saúde, proteção e assistência no decorrer da realização de pesquisas evidenciam que estigmas estão fortemente enraizados na atuação dos profissionais. Essas concepções negativas têm impedido que os direitos das mulheres que entregam o filho e da criança sejam assegurados, como também demonstram que práticas estão mais em sintonia com esses preconceitos do que com a legislação vigente. Argumentos que reiteram a importância de aprofundar o estudo sobre esse tema são considerados, discutidos e analisados teoricamente.

Authors: Martins Alberto Mesaque , Balduino Tatiane Batista
Published: December 2019

Este estudo teve como objetivo discutir a utilização da música como recurso terapêutico junto a pacientes oncológicos no contexto hospitalar, a partir do relato de experiência de uma intervenção de estágio supervisionado em Psicologia, em um hospital de referência em oncologia, na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Encontros semanais com os pacientes nos setores de quimioterapia e radioterapia foram realizados, utilizando recursos artísticos e musicais. Após as intervenções, foi possível observar que a música se mostrou como um importante recurso terapêutico, auxiliando os pacientes e seus familiares na expressão de pensamentos, sentimentos e conflitos vividos no momento do tratamento oncológico. Nesse sentido, a música possibilitou abrir espaço para uma dimensão mais ampliada e integral do cuidado, muitas vezes silenciada em meio aos procedimentos invasivos e demais rotinas que compõem a cena de cuidado na oncologia. Faz-se importante evidenciar a necessidade de utilizar novas formas terapêuticas no cuidado em oncologia, possibilitando a humanização da assistência do paciente com câncer.

Published: December 2019

A literatura destaca que a motivação do empreendedorismo pela identificação de uma oportunidade pode contribuir para o crescimento econômico de um país, ao contrário da motivação por necessidade, que não apresenta esse potencial. O artigo analisa a influência da educação empreendedora na identificação de oportunidades de negócios. Argumenta-se que a educação empreendedora pode contribuir para o aumento da capacitação e fornecimento de melhores competências e habilidades comportamentais, que podem influenciar indivíduos na identificação de oportunidades de negócios. Utiliza-se abordagem quantitativa, operacionalizada por meio da técnica de regressão, considerando dados em painel, controlando os efeitos fixos, em uma série de 16 anos (2002-2017) com 23 países. Os dados foram obtidos junto às bases: Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, Banco Mundial e Organização das Nações Unidas. Os resultados mostram que a educação empreendedora no nível básico está associada positivamente com a identificação de oportunidades de negócios, ao contrário da educação empreendedora no nível superior. Isso demonstra a relevância de investimentos na transmissão de valores do empreendedorismo desde os níveis iniciais do ensino, nos quais seja possível difundir habilidades e cultura empreendedora.

Published: December 2019

In this study, base shear and inelastic displacement limits of seismic isolation systems are presented through acceleration-displacement response spectra considering the ground motion and design provisions of the Turkish Building Seismic Design Code. A series of nonlinear response history analyses are performed using a combination of eight site-specific design spectra, six isolation systems having six different periods and five yield levels. As a result, eight spectra presented herein can be used for the preliminary design stage of seismic isolation systems in Turkey.
