Authors: Liu Hongbo , Liu Minghui , Cong Lin , Wang Lizhong , Huang Tao , Song Mingxing
Published: June 2019

The DPVBi (4,4′-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl-1,1′-biphenyl) is a blue-light organic fluorescence doped material, which can be used as a hole barrier layer or a luminescent layer for fabricating organic light-emitting devices. A blue light device with stable color stability and
high efficiency was prepared by co-doping blue light dye DPVBi and red light dye DCJTB as light-emitting layer. In order to prevent the infiltration of O2 and moisture inside the device from affecting the luminescence lifetime of the device, the device was encapsulated by atomic
layer deposition. Since the driving voltage of the organic light-emitting device is generally above 5 V and the power consumption is low, in order to facilitate driving with a low voltage, a boost driving circuit based on the XL6009 chip was designed. The driver of the fabricated blue-light
device was tested. The results showed that circuit had low-voltage drive characteristics and could be widely used in small toys, lighting, and portable devices. Through the test to achieve the desired goal, the requirements of low voltage and low energy consumption were realized, and the life
of the light-emitting device can be tested, which has certain practicability and reference value.
The Electron Density and Energy States for Nanoclusters of GaAs
Authors: Iskakova Kulpash , Akhmaltdinov Rif , Kuketaev Temirgali , Kosov Vladimir
Published: June 2019

The article deals with the choice of clusters based on a more detailed study of the GaAs structure and computer simulation of the physical properties of stable clusters. An instrumental concept of the interspheral space is introduced, which has certain features that distinguish it from
the commonly used the lattice of the crystal cores. The parameters describing the forward and reciprocal spaces are determined by quasi-bound states in the corresponding spaces: in forward space—the number and location of the structural elements of the cluster; in the reciprocal space—the
electron density and energy values. An approach with the use of the notion of an interspheral space on the structure of GaAs clusters and the results of a computer-analytic study that gives a solution to the equation of an interspheral oscillator is discussed.

Published: June 2019

This study investigated the methods for optimizing the workflow for improving the diagnostic efficiency for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in lung tissue specimens. A total of 278 specimens were used in this study. M. tuberculosis in fresh lung tissue samples
was detected by BACTEC MGIT 960 culture system, culturing L-form MTB, rifampicin (RFP) and levofloxacin (LVFX) susceptibility test, and ribonucleic acid (RNA) simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT). Specimen samples were embedded in paraffin and serially sectioned. The sections were
subjected to Ziehl-Neelsen staining and Intensified Kinyoun (IK) acid-fast staining. The suspected MTB or L-form MTB specimens were further investigated by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing and fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR) melting curve method to detect the mutations in
rpoB gene and gyrA gene. Thirteen specimens were suspected as MTB positive, and 37 specimens were suspected to be L-form MTB positive by Ziehl-Neelsen staining and IK acid-fast staining. Among the 50 specimens, the number of MTB positive specimens detected by SAT, DNA sequencing,
and fluorescence PCR melting curve method was 43, 44, and 45, respectively. Only 11 MTB positive specimens were detected by BACTEC MGIT 960 culture system or by culturing L-form MTB. Mutations detected in rpoB gene and gyrA gene by fluorescence PCR melting curve method were similar to those
detected by DNA sequencing. Some specimens, detected by melting curve method, exhibited varied drug resistance to RFP, suggesting heterogeneous resistance. Among the remaining 228 specimens, there was no MTB or L-form MTB detected by BACTEC MGIT 960 culture system. However, 5 specimens were
detected to be MTB positive by the SAT method. The fluorescent PCR melting curve method, which has a high level of automation and high sensitivity and specificity, could effectively detect heterozygous drug resistance of MTB in lung tissue samples, which is important for clinicians to effectively
formulate a therapeutic strategy.
A Review: Toxicity Effects and Influence Factors of the Nanomaterials Used in Stabilizing/Immobilizing Heavy Metals in Soils
Authors: Xu Kun , Liu Ya-Xin , Lu Cheng-Xiu , Cheng Jie-Min
Published: June 2019

Nanomaterials (NMs), especially those applied for the remediation of mild heavy metalcontaminated soils (HMCS), may have potential ecological risks due to they are used in large quantities and may interact with the original heavy metals (HMs) in soils, resulting in more complex toxicological
effects. This paper briefly summarizes the current status of toxicological studies on the effects of NMs on plant, soil enzyme activity and soil animals, and concludes the main factors that affect their toxicity when they applied in remediation of HMCS, including effects of nanoparticles (NPs)
chemical compositions, morphologies, sizes and surface properties, effects of the interaction between HMs and NPs and effects of NPs transport and transformation abilities in different soils. A critical view in this paper is that before using NMs for environmental pollution control, further
ecological risk assessments are warranted. This review can provide reference for future research on the behavior and toxicity of NMs in soils, especially for those studies on the application of NMs in the remediation of HMCS.
Warm Conveyor Belts and Their Role for Cloud Radiative Forcing in the Extratropical Storm Tracks
Authors: Joos Hanna
Published: June 2019

The link between cloud radiative forcing (CRF) and warm conveyor belts (WCBs), which are strongly ascending airstreams in extratropical cyclones, is investigated based on ERA-Interim reanalysis from 1979 to 2011. Clouds associated with WCBs can be liquid, mixed phase, or ice clouds. They interact with the longwave and shortwave radiation in different ways and thus strongly influence Earth’s radiative budget in the extratropical storm tracks in a complex way. In this study, WCBs are identified with a Lagrangian method, where WCBs are represented by trajectories that rise at least 600 hPa in 48 h in the vicinity of an extratropical cyclone, and CRF is traced along all WCB trajectories during the considered 30-yr period. The results show that due to the poleward ascent of WCBs, they exhibit negative net cloud forcing (NetCRF) in the southern part of the associated cloud band, whereas in their northern part, NetCRF gets positive due to the lack of sunlight in the winter months. This nonuniform CRF along WCBs from low to high latitudes increases the meridional NetCRF gradient. Furthermore, in their outflow regions in the North Atlantic, where WCBs are mainly associated with ice clouds, WCBs contribute up to 10 W m−2 to the global climatological NetCRF maximum in winter. The results highlight the importance of WCBs in modulating the radiative budget in the extratropics. Furthermore, the results emphasize the need for a correct representation of WCBs in climate models to correctly simulate the cloud–circulation coupling.
The High-Rank Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter
Authors: Huang Bo , Wang Xuguang , Bishop Craig H.
Published: June 2019

The ensemble Kalman filter is typically implemented either by applying the localization on the background error covariance matrix (B-localization) or by inflating the observation error variances (R-localization). A mathematical demonstration suggests that for the same effective localization function, the background error covariance matrix from the B-localization method shows a higher rank than the R-localization method. The B-localization method is realized in the ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF) by extending the background ensemble perturbations through modulation (MP-localization). Specifically, the modulation functions are constructed from the leading eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the original B-localization matrix. Because of its higher rank than the classic R-localized ETKF, the B-/MP-localized ETKF is termed as the high-rank ETKF (HETKF). The performances of the HETKF and R-localized ETKF were compared through cycled data assimilation experiments using the Lorenz model II. The results show that the HETKF outperforms the R-localized ETKF especially for a small ensemble. The improved analysis in the HETKF is likely associated with the higher rank from the B-/MP-localization method, since its higher rank is expected to contribute more positively to alleviating the rank deficiency issue and thus improve the analysis for a small ensemble. The HETKF is less sensitive to the localization length scales and inflation factors. Furthermore, the experiments suggest that the above conclusion comparing the HETKF and R-localized ETKF does not depend on how the analyzed ensemble perturbations are subselected in the HETKF.
Microphysical Process Comparison of Three Microphysics Parameterization Schemes in the WRF Model for an Idealized Squall-Line Case Study
Authors: Bao J.-W. , Michelson S. A. , Grell E. D.
Published: June 2019

Three bulk microphysics schemes with different complexities in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model are compared in terms of the individual microphysical process terms of the hydrometeor mass and number mixing ratio tendency equations in an idealized 2D squall-line case. Through evaluation of these process terms and of hydrometeor size distributions, it is shown that the differences in the simulated population characteristics of snow, graupel, and rainwater are the prominent factors contributing to the differences in the development of the simulated squall lines using these schemes. In this particular case, the gust front propagation speed produced by the Thompson scheme is faster than in the other two schemes during the first 2 h of the simulation because it has a larger dominant graupel size. After 2 h into the simulation, the initially less intense squall lines in the runs using the WSM6 and Morrison schemes start to catch up in intensity and development to the run using the Thompson scheme. Because the dominant size of graupel particles in the runs using the WSM6 and Morrison schemes is smaller, these particles take more time to fall below the freezing level and enhance the rainwater production and its evaporative cooling. In the run using the Thompson scheme, the graupel production slows down at later times while the snow particle growth increases, leading to more snow falling below the freezing level to melt and surpass graupel particle melting in the production of rainwater.
The development of social and emotional competence at school: An integrated model
Authors: Collie Rebecca J.
Published: June 2019

The aim of the current article is to extend prior conceptualizing by presenting a model of social and emotional competence that recognizes both the mechanisms and the manifestations of social and emotional competence. The Social and Emotional Competence School Model draws together conceptual underpinnings from the social and emotional competence literature along with theoretical grounding from self-determination theory and applies this within the schooling context. Social and emotional competence is operationalized by way of three components: basic psychological need satisfaction (of autonomy, competence, and relatedness), autonomous motivation, and behaviors. In the model, the three components form an iterative process of social and emotional competence development. Need satisfaction promotes social–emotional autonomous motivation and, in turn, socially and emotionally competent behaviors. The behaviors then promote need satisfaction in an ongoing cycle. The associations identified in the iterative process are impacted by need-support within the social environment, and the associations influence and are influenced by individual differences and human development.
Investigating protein patterns in human leukemia cell line experiments: A Bayesian approach for extremely small sample sizes
Authors: Chekouo Thierry , Stingo Francesco C , Class Caleb A , Yan Yuanqing , Bohannan Zachary , Wei Yue , Garcia-Manero Guillermo , Hanash Samir , Do Kim-Anh
Published: June 2019

Human cancer cell line experiments are valuable for investigating drug sensitivity biomarkers. The number of biomarkers measured in these experiments is typically on the order of several thousand, whereas the number of samples is often limited to one or at most three replicates for each experimental condition. We have developed an innovative Bayesian approach that efficiently identifies clusters of proteins that exhibit similar patterns of expression. Motivated by the availability of ion mobility mass spectrometry data on cell line experiments in myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia, our methodology can identify proteins that follow biologically meaningful trends of expression. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate good performance of the proposed method even in the presence of relatively small effects and sample sizes.
Social Cognitive Career Theory at 25: Progress in Studying the Domain Satisfaction and Career Self-Management Models
Authors: Brown Steven D. , Lent Robert W.
Published: June 2019

Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) was introduced 25 years ago. The theory originally included three interrelated models of (a) career and academic interest development, (b) choice-making, and (c) performance. It was later expanded to include two additional models, one focusing on educational and occupational satisfaction, or well-being, and the other emphasizing the process of career self-management over the life span. On this, the silver anniversary of SCCT, we consider the progress made in studying these two most recent models. In addition to reviewing existing findings, we cite promising directions for future research and application. Examples include additional study of model combinations that may shed greater light on choice persistence, possibilities for using the self-management model to study aspects of career development that are relevant to other theories, and the importance of theory-guided applications to aid preparation for, and coping with, uncertainties in the future world of work.
Center-Specific Modeling Predicts Cancer Trial Accrual More Accurately Than Investigators and Random Effects Modeling at 16 Cancer Centers
Authors: Tate Wendy R. , Abraham Ivo , Cranmer Lee D.
Published: June 2019

PURPOSE

Clinical trials often exceed their anticipated enrollment periods, and study sites often do not meet accrual goals. We previously reported the development and validation of a single-site accrual prediction model. Here, we describe the expansion of this methodology at 16 cancer centers (CCs) and compare an overall model versus site-specific models.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study used data from treatment and supportive care intervention studies permanently closed to accrual between 2009 and 2015 at 16 United States–based CCs. Center and ClinicalTrials.gov data were used to generate both site-specific and random effects mixed models (random effect: institution). Accrual predictions were generated from each model and compared with the accrual prediction of the disease team (DT).

RESULTS

Sixteen institutions submitted 5,787 eligible trials (range, 93 to 697 trials per institution). Local accrual ranged from 363 to 6,716 participants; 1,053 studies (18%) accrued no participants. Actual average accrual was 8.5 participants (median, four participants). Site-specific models predicted accrual at 99% of actual and correctly predicted whether a study would accrue four or more participants 73% of the time versus DT prediction of 58%. Correlation at the category level was 30%; model sensitivity and specificity were 83% and 62%, respectively. The overall model predicted accrual 93% of actual and correctly predicted accrual of four or more participants 66% of the time, with a correlation at the category level of 28%.

CONCLUSION

Both regression models predicted clinical trial accrual at least as or more accurately than DT at all but one center. Site-specific models generally performed slightly better than the random effects model. This study confirms the previous finding that this method is an accurate and objective metric that can be easily implemented to improve clinical research resource allocation across multiple centers.
Castration Determines the Efficacy of ETAR Blockade in a Mouse Model of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis
Authors: Moon Henry H , Clines Katrina L , Cooks Mark A , Cialek Charlotte A , Esvelt Marian A , Clines Gregory A
Published: June 2019

Bone metastasis is a painful complication of advanced prostate cancer. Endothelin-1 is a tumor-secreted factor that plays a central role in osteoblast activation and the osteosclerotic response of prostate cancer metastatic to bone. Antagonists that block the activation of the endothelin A receptor (ETAR), located on osteoblasts, reduce osteoblastic bone lesions in animal models of bone metastasis. However, ETAR antagonists demonstrated limited efficacy in clinical trials of men with advanced prostate cancer who also received standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Previous data from our group suggested that, in a mouse model, ETAR antagonists might only be efficacious when androgen signaling in the osteoblast is lowered beyond the ability of standard ADT. This notion was tested in a mouse model of prostate cancer bone metastasis. Castrated and sham-operated male athymic nude mice underwent intracardiac inoculation of the ARCaPM castration-resistant prostate cancer cell line. The mice were then treated with either the ETAR antagonist zibotentan or a vehicle control to generate four experimental groups: vehicle+sham (Veh+Sham), vehicle+castrate (Veh+Castr), zibotentan+sham (Zibo+Sham), and zibotentan+castrate (Zibo+Castr). The mice were monitored radiographically for the development of skeletal lesions. The Zibo+Castr group had significantly longer survival and a single incidental lesion. Mice in the Zibo+Sham group had the shortest survival and the largest number of skeletal lesions. Survival and skeletal lesions of the Veh+Sham and Veh+Castr groups were intermediate compared with the zibotentan-treated groups. We report a complex interaction between ETAR and androgen signaling, whereby ETAR blockade was most efficacious when combined with complete androgen deprivation.
A REPRESENTAÇÃO DO OUTRO NO CINEMA FANTÁSTICO: O CASO DE A FORMA DA ÁGUA (2017), DE GUILLERMO DEL TORO
Authors: Silva Gabriela Spinola , Da Silva Alexander Meireles
Published: June 2019

Desde a sua gênese, o Cinema tem servido como veículo para a manifestação das ânsias que consomem as mais diversas sociedades que dele se valem. Uma das mais peculiares formas dessas manifestações é o Cinema Fantástico – no qual, através da apresentação de criaturas monstruosas ou maravilhosas, submundos incríveis, universos paralelos e galáxias distantes, é possível ver a inserção do Outro e das visões que os respectivos realizadores dos filmes (tais quais a sociedade em que estivessem inseridos) têm a respeito destes (INAYATULLAH e BLANEY, 2004; TODOROV, 1999). Um exemplo desta questão, logo nos primórdios da sétima arte, é o clássico Viagem à Lua (1902), de Georges Méliès, o qual traz os selenitas – as criaturas que habitam a Lua – trajando vestimentas tribais, lanças e expressões similares a demônios, em uma escolha de indumentária remetente aos nativos das colônias francesas na África no final do século XIX e início do século XX. Desta forma, o presente artigo busca discorrer sobre a representação do Outro ao longo da história do cinema mainstream ocidental, e traçar uma análise a respeito de como todos os personagens do filme A forma da água (2017), de Guillermo del Toro, em especial a criatura anfíbia monstruosa no centro da narrativa, refletem tais questões acerca da alteridade.

Vamos ser inclusivos/as? Campanhas na mídia e produção de verdades sobre inclusão
Authors: Hillesheim Betina , Cappellari Amanda
Published: June 2019

Este artigo propõe-se a discutir o que pode ser denominado como incitação à inclusão, mediante campanhas veiculadas na mídia impressa. Considerando-se que a mídia exerce uma função importante na produção e difusão de discursos, discutem-se as campanhas como estratégias que visam educar para a inclusão, argumentando como essas nos constituem como sujeitos inclusivos/as. Além disso, busca-se compreender de que forma os discursos da Psicologia se entrelaçam à produção de verdades sobre inclusão. Para tanto, foram selecionadas 23 reportagens sobre campanhas inclusivas, através da análise das edições do jornal Zero Hora, no período de março a dezembro de 2015. Para analisar as campanhas, as mesmas foram agrupadas em tabelas que visibilizam quem são os sujeitos da inclusão, quais as estratégias e ações inclusivas, e quais as justificativas para tais campanhas. Problematiza-se como as campanhas inclusivas se constituem como estratégias educativas, que ampliam a inclusão dos mais variados sujeitos, subjetivando a todos através do imperativo da inclusão. Aponta-se, ainda, que a ideia de inclusão é composta por diferentes vetores, tanto no sentido de normalização, quanto de multiplicação da diferença.
O corpo como função de suplência imaginária em um caso de psicose ordinária
Authors: Rocha Tiago Humberto Rodrigues
Published: June 2019

O presente trabalho é fruto de uma pesquisa de doutorado para obtenção de dupla titulação realizada entre o Brasil e a França. O estudo foi conduzido a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com homens que haviam se submetido a intervenções médicas, com finalidade estética. Os entrevistados foram encaminhados pelos próprios médicos que realizaram as intervenções após consentimento dos participantes. Durante a realização das entrevistas foi encontrado um sujeito fazendo uso bastante particular de seu corpo. Tal uso suscitou a possibilidade de se tratar de um caso de psicose ordinária, estabilizada a partir da introdução de um termo com função de suplência imaginária à foraclusão do Nome-do-Pai. Assim, este artigo traz a análise dos relatos de um jovem homossexual de vinte e sete anos que realizou uma série de intervenções estéticas no corpo. Do sentimento de estranhamento pelo não reconhecimento da própria imagem no período pregresso à cirurgia de maior impacto – uma prótese peitoral masculina – até a assunção de um corpo – cuja função é de suplência imaginária à foraclusão do Nome-do-Pai – o jovem pôde estabilizar-se a partir da organização de uma tripla externalidade reconhecidamente em desordem: social, corporal e subjetiva. Ao final do trabalho reconhece-se a necessidade de novas investigações em torno dos possíveis efeitos clínicos e metapsicológicos decorrentes dos intensos processos de identificações necessários para sua estabilização.
O corpo ao pé da letra: O sintoma entre o saber e o gozo
Authors: Previdello João Pedro Gomes , Salvador Isadora Nicastro , Palma Claudia Maria de Sousa
Published: June 2019

O artigo se propõe a analisar a especificidade do conceito de corpo, a partir da pulsão e da formação sintomática, a fim de refletir sobre a diferença no tratamento das configurações clínicas que escapam à construção simbólica. Essas organizações, ao prescindirem dos mecanismos psíquicos ordenados pelo recalque e pelo trabalho inconsciente de condensação e deslocamento, desnudam um corpo malvestido pelo simbólico, portanto, com importantes entraves ao endereçamento e à inclusão da alteridade. Como consequência, o sintoma não se encadeia pela via da associação livre, nem se orienta pela busca de algo no outro. Aparece enquanto real no corpo, atrelando-se ao caráter pulsional da compulsão à repetição. Assim, destacamos a prevalência de um arranjo em que o objeto a predomina como letra, resto, cuja função está em representar um sujeito analfabeto, no sentido de desavisado do que produz em seu corpo. Para o manejo clínico, o analista é, então, convocado a um outro lugar, diferente do ocupado no tratamento com os sintomas neuróticos. Trata-se de uma clínica do ato, orientada a um remanejamento de letras a realizar a necessária demarcação nesse gozo que irrompe no corpo.
Caring for women with chronic hypertension
Authors: Lovell Holly , Wilson Hannah M , Whybrow Rebecca , Harding Kate , Chappell Lucy C
Published: June 2019

The number of women entering pregnancy with chronic hypertension is increasing, predominantly because of rising rates of obesity and pregnancy at advanced maternal age. ‘Chronic hypertension’ is often used interchangeably with the term ‘pre-existing hypertension’, but it is important to remember that a significant proportion of women are newly diagnosed in pregnancy. Chronic hypertension significantly increases the risks in pregnancy for both the mother and the fetus, and these risks are considerably higher than those associated with gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia alone; therefore, differentiation is important. The midwife is in an ideal position to improve the care of pregnant women with chronic hypertension. This article reflects on and explores the ways in which a midwife might provide support. It outlines the critical role of the midwife in the accurate and prompt identification, assessment, referral and care of the woman with chronic hypertension in pregnancy.
Midwives' evaluation of their role in crowdsourcing activities to improve the maternity experience: part 1
Authors: Frewin Sam , Church Sarah
Published: June 2019

This is the first of two articles introducing crowdsourcing as a tool that offers creative solutions to address everyday challenges in maternity care. In this first article, crowdsourcing is defined and discussed, demonstrating how it can be used to discover many relatively low-cost ideas to improve maternity services. By engaging service users in crowdsourcing activities, quality improvement is shared and focused on issues that emerge from practice. This process has the potential to generate more innovative ways to improve maternity services and women's experiences of care. In the second article, the discussion will centre on a service evaluation project that studied midwives' involvement in a workshop as part of a quality improvement project.
The role of the PMA and barriers to the successful implementation of restorative clinical supervision
Authors: Rouse Samantha
Published: June 2019

Recognition of systematic and structural areas of concern has led to significant changes to midwifery supervision to meet the needs of midwives and the service as a whole. The A-EQUIP (Advocating for Education and QUality ImProvement) model was created to enhance the emotional and physical wellbeing of those providing care and in turn the quality of care provided to women and their families. It is deployed by professional midwifery advocates (PMAs), who have undergone training to deliver restorative clinical supervision. This article aims to critically review the implementation of restorative clinical supervision in practice, examining the potential challenges to the successful implementation of the A-EQUIP model.

S.T.R.I.D.E. Professional Guide to Compression Garment Selection for the Lower Extremity
Authors: Bjork Robyn , Ehmann Suzie
Published: June 2019

The following supplement is a rare example of a paper that combines clinical experience and theoretical knowledge on textiles used in compression therapy. The authors' intention is to propose a decision support system for choosing specific compression devices, which can be adjusted to counteract the individual signs and symptoms in an optimally adopted way. The document concentrates on compression devices which can be self-applied by the patients—compression stockings and adjustable wraps. The acronym ‘S.T.R.I.D.E.’, incorporating both textile characteristics and clinical presentation, stands for: Shape, Texture, Refill, Issues, Dosage and Etiology. The intent of the mnemotechnical value is to highlight that successful compression includes more than dosage alone. In addition to dosage, etiology and patient presentation need to be incorporated, including a patient's physical ability to use compression effectively as part of the daily routine, thereby promoting adherence.

The suggested algorithms provide a valuable guide to stride across the important, but still underestimated field of medical compression therapy and will help to put the prescription of a specific product on a more rational basis. Enjoy reading!

Construction and collaboration in life-writing projects: Malala Yousafzai’s activist ‘I’
Authors: Martínez García Ana Belén
Published: June 2019

This article explores the storytelling practices employed in Malala Yousafzai’s life-writing texts as examples of collaboration in the co-construction of an activist agenda. It tracks the narrative ‘I’ and its movements in and out of the plural pronoun ‘we’ as it moves across communities and embraces the legacy of testimonial accounts by both former and contemporary human rights activists. In line with that tradition, it is necessary to include the stories of other victimized people in the life-writing text, so that the result advocates for change on a sociopolitical, not just individual, level. The fact that the texts are mediated by editors, translators, co-authors and collaborators every step of the way paves the collaborative path Global South young women activists traverse, a path fraught with potential pitfalls and ethical difficulties for them and for scholars alike.

Este artículo intenta pensar críticamente las categorías género y mujer en el marco del pensamiento feminista. El uso indiscriminado del concepto “género” ha terminado convirtiéndose en una aberración que, además, no presenta ningún riesgo para los quehaceres tradicionales

androcéntricos de las disciplinas. Asimismo, plantea críticamente los retos y desafíos que se presentan para poder hablar de “feminismos” en la academia y en la ciencia latinoamericana. La autonomía tanto de la educación superior como del feminismo deben sostenerse en este nuevo milenio que aún no hace espacio al feminismo en sus currículas.

Resource Management Domains of Kharif and Rabi Season Fallows in Central Plateau Region of India: A Strategy for Accelerated Agricultural Development
Authors: Gupta Raj , Kumar Nirmal , Singh SK , Sahoo Rabi N. , Abrol IP
Published: June 2019

Over last few decades, acreage of total fallow lands (Kharif and Rabi seasons) in India has remained almost unchanged around 25Mha. The acreage of Kharif (summer) and Rabi (winter) Fallows in Madhya Pradesh (MP) are 1.98Mha and 5.51Mha, respectively. In the semi-arid agroclimatic zones of the states, Fallow-Wheat/Gram/Indian-Mustard cropping systems are practiced. After harvest of Kharif rice, kodo-kutki, maize or sorghum, farmers generally practice post-rainy season Rabi fallows in the sub-humid regions, south of Narmada River. Kharif fallowing is largely the result of the inability of the farmers to make planting dates independent of monsoon forecasts, and make efficient use of rain water. It appears that factors responsible for Kharif and Rabi fallows are distinctly different and a general consequence of distinctly different soil moisture regimes prevailing in the two crop seasons. Kharif and Rabi fallows have two distinct resource management domains. Whereas, Kharif fallows can be tackled with “PMP-dry seeding” agronomy, production constraints of Rabi fallows can be substantively tackled by shifting from tilled to zero-till agriculture with residue management to make efficient use of the conserved rain water. Some irrigation support will prove useful to tackle mid-season droughts in both situations. Conservation agricultural practices can significantly improve and stabilize crop yields in black soils and other associated soils of in the semi-arid tropics region of the Central India.

Este estudo teve como objetivos proceder à tradução e adaptação transcultural da PEM-CY: Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth, de acordo com os procedimentos recomendados pelos seus autores, e estudar as suas propriedades psicométricas para a população portuguesa. Este instrumento examina a perceção dos pais (ou cuidadores) de crianças com e sem incapacidade, acerca da participação, no que se refere à frequência, ao envolvimento e ao desejo de mudança, em atividades que tipicamente acontecem nos contextos de casa, da escola e da comunidade; examina ainda os fatores ambientais que impactam essa mesma participação. A versão portuguesa da PEM-CY foi preenchida pelos pais de 390 crianças, com idades entre os 5 e os 17 anos, das quais 152 foram reportadas como apresentando algum tipo de incapacidade. Valores de consistência interna nas diferentes escalas e contextos oscilaram entre .67 a .86, com a exceção da escala frequência no contexto escolar. Na fidelidade teste-reteste obtiveram-se valores acima de .68. No que se refere à validade de critério a escala mostrou-se consistente na identificação de diferenças significativas nos resultados dos grupos, com e sem incapacidade, nas diferentes escalas dos contextos estudados. Os resultados apontam a versão portuguesa da PEM-CY como um instrumento válido para a compreensão da participação de crianças com e sem incapacidade nos diferentes contextos, segundo a perceção dos pais.

Authors: Gomes Sabrina , Costa Rui Miguel , Mangia Paula , Pestana José , Pinto Coelho Mafalda , Correia Catarina
Published: June 2019

Maior frequência coital tem-se associado a maior desvio padrão da frequência cardíaca, um parâmetro da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) que pode expressar maior actividade simpática e parassimpática. No presente estudo examinaram-se associações de diversos parâmetros da VFC com a satisfação sexual e a frequência de vários comportamentos sexuais. Sessenta homens e 85 mulheres relataram a sua satisfação sexual com a respectiva subescala da LiSat (Life Satisfaction) scale e qual a frequência em dias no mês precedente de coito vaginal, sexo não coital e masturbação. Os parâmetros da VFC foram calculados a partir de cinco minutos de ECG em repouso (desvio padrão da frequência cardíaca, desvio padrão dos intervalos entre batidas cardíacas, potência de alta frequência, potência de baixa frequência e razão entre baixa e alta frequência). A frequência coital associou-se a maior desvio padrão da frequência cardíaca na amostra feminina, mas não na masculina. A frequência coital não se correlacionou com nenhum outro parâmetro da VFC. A satisfação sexual não se correlacionou com nenhum parâmetro da VFC. A frequência coital poderá ser facilitada por maior actividade parassimpática a par duma moderadamente elevada actividade simpática cardíaca.

СИМВОЛ ЧІЧКИ В НОВЕЛІСТИЦІ ВАСИЛЯ ТКАЧУКА
Authors: Horniatko-Szumiłowicz Anna
Published: June 2019

W artykule prześledzono symbol cziczki w nowelistyce ukraińskiego pisarza lat 30. XX w. Wasyla Tkaczuka. Wykazano, iż słowo cziczka jako huculski dialektyzm odgrywa w twórczości nowelisty ważną rolę, będąc swoistym lejtmotywem pojawiającym się niemal w każdym jego utworze. Cziczka to święty kod rodu huculskiego pełniący rolę talizmanu, który towarzyszy Hucułom, niczym wyszywka, w czasach radości i smutku, co po mistrzowsku słowem namalował Wasyl Tkaczuk.

O Agronegócio da Soja no Brasil: do Estado ao Capital Privado
Authors: Miranda Roberto
Published: June 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é o de analisar o estabelecimento da produção de soja no Brasil, da sua expansão em direção ao Cerrado e à Amazônia, de como estas dinâmicas contribuíram para a reestruturação e o fortalecimento do agronegócio da soja e para que esta se tornasse um dos principais produtos de exportação. Para tanto foi realizada uma revisão de literatura referente aos primeiros cultivos de soja no Brasil e seu desenvolvimento no Cerrado e na Amazônia; assim como se fez consultas a dados oficiais a fim de observar o aumento da área cultivada com soja, a capacidade de processamento, refino e envase do óleo de soja e seu desempenho na balança comercial brasileira, sempre observando o papel do Estado e do capital privado nacional e internacional neste processo. A forte presença de empresas multinacionais em todo o processo produtivo da soja ilustra a atual configuração do agronegócio brasileiro e aponta para as mudanças no perfil do sojicultor no Cerrado e na Amazônia, sendo que o produtor particular está dando lugar a grandes empresas que cultivam ou fazem a gestão de lavouras.
