Authors: Sumarlin La Ode , Muawanah Anna , Afandi Farhan Riza , Adawiah Adawiah
Published: December 2019

Indonesian local honey contains active compounds that have the potential as an antioxidant and anticancer, primarily as a laryngeal anticancer through the inhibition of HEp-2 cells. This study aims to determine the anticancer activity of several types of honey in Indonesia through the inhibition of HEp-2 cells. Samples used in the form of Trigona, Longan, Rambutan, and Kaliandra honey obtained from honey farmers in Sulawesi and Java, Indonesia. Honey samples extracted by using methanol, then liquids partition was carried out consecutively using n-hexane and ethyl acetate. The cytotoxicity test for HEp-2 cells was carried out using the MTT method (3- (4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-il) -2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide). The results showed that all honey samples were active against preventing HEp-2 cells with the highest inhibition activity from longan honey with ethyl acetate extract at 65.18% at 100 ppm. Longan honey has decreased HEp-2 cell inhibitory activity after fractionation. Indonesian local honey, namely trigona honey, kaliandra honey, rambutan honey, and longan honey, can be used as a supplementary supplement for patients with laryngeal cancer.
Transmission of Cleruchic Land: A Model to Describe the Procedure
Authors: Schubert Paul
Published: December 2019

The first rulers of the Ptolemaic dynasty granted cleruchic land to their soldiers. The process by which this category of land was transmitted from one holder to the next was strictly controlled. The precise procedure of transfer can be reconstructed on the basis of documents dating from the Ptolemaic and Roman period. An attempt is made here to provide a synthetic model for this procedure, and to highlight the difference between the Ptolemaic and Roman periods.
Tourism tensions and sociolinguistic change
Authors: Jaworski Adam

Brief concluding remarks touch on the relationship between the symbolic and material aspects of language.
Distributed control of networked systems with coupling constraints
Authors: Liu Zonglin , Stursberg Olaf
Published: December 2019

This paper proposes algorithms for the distributed solution of control problems for networked systems with coupling constraints. This type of problem is practically relevant, e. g., for subsystems which share common resources, or need to go through a bottleneck, while considering non-convex state constraints. Centralized solution schemes, which typically first cast the non-convexities into mixed-integer formulations that are then solved by mixed-integer programming, suffer from high computational complexity for larger numbers of subsystems. The distributed solution proposed in this paper decomposes the centralized problem into a set of small subproblems to be solved in parallel. By iterating over the subproblems and exchanging information either among all subsystems, or within subsets selected by a coordinator, locally optimal solutions of the global problem are determined. The paper shows for two instances of distributed algorithms that feasibility as well as continuous cost reduction over the iterations up to termination can be guaranteed, while the solutions times are considerably shorter than for the centralized problem. These properties are illustrated for a multi-vehicle motion problem.
New Ways of Being Church: The Promise of Fresh Expressions
Authors: Martin Robert K.
Published: December 2019

In 2006, British Anglicans and Methodists organized an evangelical initiative called Fresh Expressions to start experimental faith communities. The target population was people who are not involved in church. Over the past 13 years, Fresh Expressions has expanded to almost every continent as a movement that holds together traditional, inherited church practices with entrepreneurial experimentation. It has been lauded as an incarnational approach to mission and it has been criticized for colluding with the worst of contemporary culture. This essay explores the historical development of Fresh Expressions, its unique integral approach to ecclesiology, and its potential for ecclesial renewal and reform.

Published: December 2019

A trispecific hybrid, MTP (hereafter called tripsazea), was developed from intergeneric crosses involving tetraploid Zea mays (2n = 4x = 40, genome: MMMM), tetraploid Tripsacum dactyloides (2n = 4x = 72, TTTT), and tetraploid Z. perennis (2n = 4x = 40, PPPP). On crossing maize-Tripsacum (2n = 4x = 56, MMTT) with Z. perennis, 37 progenies with varying chromosome numbers (36-74) were obtained, and a special one (i.e., tripsazea) possessing 2n = 74 chromosomes was generated. Tripsazea is perennial and expresses phenotypic characteristics affected by its progenitor parent. Flow cytometry analysis of tripsazea and its parents showed that tripsazea underwent DNA sequence elimination during allohexaploidization. Of all the chromosomes in diakinesis I, 18.42% participated in heterogenetic pairing, including 16.43% between the M- and P-genomes, 1.59% between the M- and T-genomes, and 0.39% in T- and P-genome pairing. Tripsazea is male sterile and partly female fertile. In comparison with previously synthesized trihybrids containing maize, Tripsacum and teosinte, tripsazea has a higher chromosome number, higher seed setting rate, and vegetative propagation ability of stand and stem. However, few trihybrids possess these valuable traits at the same time. The potential of tripsazea is discussed with respect to the deployment of the genetic bridge for maize improvement and forage breeding.
Multimodal Long Noncoding RNA Interaction Networks: Control Panels for Cell Fate Specification
Authors: Smith Keriayn N , Miller Sarah C , Varani Gabriele , Calabrese J Mauro , Magnuson Terry
Published: December 2019

Lineage specification in early development is the basis for the exquisitely precise body plan of multicellular organisms. It is therefore critical to understand cell fate decisions in early development. Moreover, for regenerative medicine, the accurate specification of cell types to replace damaged/diseased tissue is strongly dependent on identifying determinants of cell identity. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to regulate cellular plasticity, including pluripotency establishment and maintenance, differentiation and development, yet broad phenotypic analysis and the mechanistic basis of their function remains lacking. As components of molecular condensates, lncRNAs interact with almost all classes of cellular biomolecules, including proteins, DNA, mRNAs, and microRNAs. With functions ranging from controlling alternative splicing of mRNAs, to providing scaffolding upon which chromatin modifiers are assembled, it is clear that at least a subset of lncRNAs are far from the transcriptional noise they were once deemed. This review highlights the diversity of lncRNA interactions in the context of cell fate specification, and provides examples of each type of interaction in relevant developmental contexts. Also highlighted are experimental and computational approaches to study lncRNAs.

Authors: Bertorini Tulio , Meza Kelly , Chunga Natalia
Published: December 2019

Las miopatías inflamatorias idiopáticas (MII) son un grupo de enfermedades autoinmunes crónicas que afectan principalmente a los músculos proximales. Los tipos más comunes son dermatomiositis (DM), polimiositis (PM), miopatía autoinmune necrotizante y miositis por cuerpos de inclusión. Se identifican de forma única por su presentación clínica que consiste en manifestaciones musculares y extramusculares, sus alteraciones miopáticas en el electromiograma y la elevación de las enzimas musculares. Sin embargo, la biopsia muscular sigue siendo el gold estándar para el diagnóstico. Estos trastornos son potencialmente tratables con un diagnóstico adecuado. Los objetivos del tratamiento son eliminar la inflamación, restaurar el rendimiento muscular, reducir la morbilidad y mejorar la calidad de vida. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo proporcionar un enfoque de diagnóstico básico a los pacientes con sospecha de MMI a través de sus principales hallazgos clínicos, de laboratorio e histopatológicos.

Non–β-Lactam Antibiotic Hypersensitivity Reactions
Authors: Grinlington Lisa , Choo Sharon , Cranswick Noel , Gwee Amanda
Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Antibiotics are among the most common prescriptions in children, and non–β-lactam antibiotics (NBLAs) account for almost half of those prescribed in Australian pediatric hospitals. Despite this, data on NBLA hypersensitivity in children are limited. This study describes reported hypersensitivity reactions to NBLAs in children and the results of allergy evaluation.

METHODS:

Children with a suspected NBLA allergy who had skin testing and/or an intravenous or oral challenge test (OCT) between May 2011 and June 2018 were included. Patients were excluded if they were >18 years old or did not complete the allergy evaluation for any reason other than allergic reaction.

RESULTS:

Over the 7-year study period, 141 children had 150 allergy evaluations of 15 different NBLAs. The median time from the initial reported reaction to allergy evaluation was 1.9 (range 0.1–14.9) years. Overall, 27 of the 150 (18.0%) challenge tests to NBLAs had positive results, with the rate of positive OCT results being highest for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (15 of 46; 32.6%) and macrolides (8 of 77; 10.4%). Although 4 children reported initial anaphylactic reactions, no patients had severe symptoms on rechallenge or required adrenaline. Of the challenges that had positive results, the majority of children (23 of 27; 85.2%) had symptoms on repeat challenge similar to those that were initially reported.

CONCLUSIONS:

Overall, 8 of 10 children with NBLA allergy could be delabeled. On average, patients waited 1.9 years to be rechallenged. Timely access to allergy evaluation to delabel these patients is needed to preserve first-line antibiotics.

Çocukluk Dönemi Din Eğitimine Bilimsel Temelli Bir Yaklaşım Denemesi
Authors: ATİK Aslihan
Published: December 2019

Bu çalışmanın amacı mevcut din eğitimi uygulamalarına alternatif olarak gelişimsel temelli/yaşam merkezli din anlayışını temel alarak din eğitiminin en temel kavramlarından olan Allah inancını evrende var olan işleyişten yola çıkarak sorumluluk ve sevgi değerleri ile anlatmayı amaçlayan örnek bir öğretim programı oluşturmak ve bunun işlevselliğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla özel bir ilkokulda daha önce kurumsal anlamda din eğitimi almamış ilköğretim 3. sınıfta eğitimlerine devam eden 12 çocuk ile 10 günlük 10 saatlik bir uygulama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmamız din eğitimi ile bilim eğitiminin birbirinin alternatifi değil tamamlayıcısı olduğu varsayımına dayanmaktadır. Din eğitimi uygulamaları ile bilimsel süreçlerin birlikte işletildiği durumlarda çocukların hem evrende neden-sonuç ilişkisine dayanan bilimsel süreçleri hem de bunların bir Yaratıcı ile olan ilişkisini daha iyi kurabildikleri varsayılmıştır. Sonuç olarak araştırmacının dışında gelişen bazı sınırlılıklar olmakla birlikte, bilimsel süreçlerin işletildiği ve bunların teolojik konuşmalarla desteklendiği din eğitimi uygulamalarının çocuklarda bir karşılık bulduğu ve ilgili kavramsallaştırmanın gerçekleştiği görülmüştür.

Published: December 2019

RESUMO Investigou-se a relação entre percepção visual e tremor essencial (TE). Realizou-se uma revisão dos estudos publicados sobre o tema nas bases de dados PubMed, BIREME, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, SciELO, SCOPUS e ELSEVIER desde a origem até 05 de janeiro de 2017. A triagem, extração de dados e avaliação foram realizadas por dois revisores. Para avaliar a qualidade dos estudos utilizou-se as diretrizes do National Institutes of Health (NIH). De 132 estudos potencialmente elegíveis, 12 foram selecionados de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade. Os resultados indicaram que pessoas com TE apresentam baixa sensibilidade visual quando comparados com indivíduos saudáveis, apesar de não apresentarem prejuízos na visão de cores. Apesar da heterogeneidade dos dados, observamos que existem prejuízos visuais em pessoas com TE e estes podem ser uma das principais características clínicas não-motoras.

Published: December 2019

Abstract This project had the aim of detecting and intervening in difficulties of language and behavior in children at the age of three and four. A hundred seventy-eight children were assessed in behavior, expressive and receptive vocabulary and in central auditory processing. 84 children constituted the experimental group and were engaged in an intervention for the development and refinement of language and management of behavior problems through activities developed in software used in tablets, concrete games and orientation provided to their parents and teachers by a professional team composed by speech therapists, psychologists and psycho pedagogues. Posttest analysis indicated significant difference between the vocabulary and language scores, suggesting that this model of early assessment and intervention can be a successful strategy in school environments.

Resumo O estudo avalia a eficácia de três programas de educação para aposentadoria, longo, breve e testemunho, utilizando um design experimental, com grupo controle e follow-up de seis meses, em amostra de servidores públicos (N=30). Utilizaram-se escalas de mudança em comportamentos de planejamento para aposentadoria, bem-estar subjetivo, perspectiva de tempo futuro e questionário de satisfação. Dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva, não paramétrica e análise de conteúdo. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos. Análises de tamanho de efeito revelaram efeitos positivos da intervenção longa em perspectiva de tempo futuro e satisfação com a vida, bem como efeitos positivos do grupo controle em investimento ocupacional-social, autonomia e bem-estar. Constata-se que as evidências são inconclusivas acerca da eficácia das intervenções.
A Unidade do Psiquismo Humano para Vigotski e a Desagregação desta na Esquizofrenia
Authors: Tuleski Silvana Calvo
Published: December 2019

RESUMO A Psicologia Histórico-Cultural no Brasil teve sua inserção no campo educacional a partir de 1980. Atualmente, os estudos de Vigotski sobre os transtornos mentais vêm sendo explorados, objetivando a compreensão do desenvolvimento psíquico normal e anormal na relação dialética organismo e ambiente sociocultural. Este estudo procura sistematizar tais contribuições referentes à esquizofrenia, focalizando o processo de formação de conceitos e sua desagregação nesta patologia. Busca-se estabelecer comparações e problematizações entre pesquisas atuais sobre fatores de risco, tratamento e sintomatologia do quadro esquizofrênico e as elaborações vigotskianas. Por fim, procura-se apontar caminhos profícuos de superação de visões reducionistas sobre o processo desagregador causador da alienação do sujeito em relação ao mundo e a si mesmo neste transtorno mental.

Published: December 2019

Resumo Objetivou-se, neste estudo, avaliar a Qualidade de Vida em Relação à Saúde (QVRS) de adolescentes de 10 a 18 anos, com diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1), usuários dos serviços de duas unidades de atenção secundária em saúde municipal, no sul do Brasil. Participaram do estudo 20 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, com idades de 10 a 18 anos, sendo os dados coletados através do Questionário KIDSCREEN-52 versão brasileira. Os resultados indicaram que os adolescentes apresentaram ótima percepção de QVRS e que ocorreram poucas diferenças significativas em relação a sexo, classes socioeconômicas, idade e tempo de diagnóstico. Os resultados sugerem que a interferência da DM1 na QVRS deve ser analisada em função do processo de desenvolvimento da adolescência.

Sexuality and Questions of Gender in Adolescence: Contributions of Psychoanalysis
Authors: Alberti Sonia , Silva Heloene Ferreira da
Published: December 2019

Abstract The institutional clinical practice with adolescents in a university hospital in the present times raises questions about both gender and sexuation. Such questions are not exclusively at the level of practice, but also of theory, requiring it's refinement. We introduce it in the context of psychoanalysis. Methodologically, we left the clinic to question the theory, allowing it to be enriched, as Freud wanted, from the beginning, when he observed that in psychoanalysis there is no theory without clinic. Although we are based on psychoanalytic authors, we do not fail to imply references in authors of the connection fields of psychoanalysis, which often bring fundamental elements to the intended refinement. We conclude by presenting a case to exemplify the questions that led us to the research.
Psychic Suffering Nowadays: from Gadgets to the Consumed Subject

Published: December 2019

Abstract This text aims to establish relationships between drugs and so-called gadgets from this social call to consumption whether they are objects in general, or drugs in particular. We carried out a bibliographic study using, mainly, books, articles, and dissertations referring to the subject with the intention to reach this objective. We also developed this research in three parts, which highlight the critical points of contemporary psychopathology. The first one deals with how the consumption of objects has become an object that consumes the subject. We then traced the legitimation of the subject "compressed" in the current discourse. Finally, we highlighted the gadgets and the new way of life for the contemporary people.
Pseudomonas spp. and other psychrotrophic microorganisms in inspected and non-inspected Brazilian Minas Frescal cheese: proteolytic, lipolytic and AprX production potential

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT: The most consumed cheese in Brazil, Minas Frescal cheese (MFC) is highly susceptible to microbial contamination and clandestine production and commercialization can pose a risk to consumer health. The storage of this fresh product under refrigeration, although more appropriate, may favor the growth of spoilage psychrotrophic bacteria. The objective of this study was to quantify and compare Pseudomonas spp. and other psychrotrophic bacteria in inspected and non-inspected MFC samples, evaluate their lipolytic and proteolytic activities and their metalloprotease production potentials. Twenty MFC samples were evaluated: 10 inspected and 10 non-inspected. Counts of psychrotrophic bacteria and Pseudomonas spp., evaluation of the proteolytic and lipolytic potential of the isolates, and identification of potential producers of alkaline metalloprotease (AprX) were assessed. The mean total psychrotrophic counts were 1.07 (±2.18) × 109CFU/g in the inspected samples and 4.5 (±5.86) × 108CFU/g in the non-inspected, with no significant difference (p=0.37). The average score of Pseudomonas spp. was 6.86 (±18.6) × 105 and 2.08 (±3.65) × 106 CFU/g for the inspected and non-inspected MFC samples, respectively, with no significant difference (p=0.1). Pseudomonas spp. represented 0.06% and 0.004% of psychrotrophic bacteria found in inspected and non-inspected MFC samples, respectively. Collectively, 694 psychrotrophic strains and 47Pseudomonas spp. were isolated, of which 59.9% and 68.1% were simultaneously proteolytic and lipolytic, respectively. Of the 470 psychrotrophs isolated from inspected and 224 from non-inspected cheese samples, 5.74% and 2.23% contained aprX, respectively, while 100 and 86.96% of the Pseudomonas spp. isolates in inspected and non-inspected cheese samples contained the gene. The production potential of AprX did not, however, determine the proteolytic activity on plates of these isolates under the conditions evaluated in this study. Of total, 65.63% of the psychrotrophs that contained aprX gene were confirmed as Pseudomonas spp., using genus-specific PCR. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene of the other psychrotrophs that were potential producers of AprX identified them as Serratia spp. (n=7), Raoultella ornithinolytica (n=1), and Acinetobacter schindleri (n=1) in the inspected samples and Psychrobacter sanguinis (n=1) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (n=1) in the non-inspected samples. The production conditions of Brazilian MFC of these samples, while meeting the legal determinations, are not sufficient to control Pseudomonas and other spoilage-related psychrotrophs. Thus, stricter hygienic measures are required during the formal production of this type of cheese.

ABSTRACT: Clinical and metabolic evaluation is necessary for the monitoring of pregnant and lactating mares, as they reflect the health of the animal. The body condition of the mare is an indicator of reproductive efficiency. The study aimed to determine the possible variations in body and metabolic condition in Mangalarga Marchador mares during the transition period. Forty-eight mares distributed in two groups were used: Maintenance Group (MG), composed of non-pregnant and non-lactating mares, and Transition Group (TG), formed by pregnant mares and who after delivery became lactating. Analyzes were performed in the times T-60, T-30 and T-15 before delivery, first six hours (T0) after delivery and T15, T30 and T60 days after delivery. MG was evaluated only at one time (T-60). Body weight and fat-free mass differed (P<0.05) between the groups. The percentage of fat was lower in MG. Mares had a higher fat percentage in TG at T-60 and T-30 times. There was a difference (P<0.05) in the amount of cholesterol between MG and TG (T0, T15 and T30). Triglycerides were different between the groups. TG showed higher concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (P<0.05). There was a higher amount of glucose in TG (delivery and lactation) when compared to mares in MG. Changes in body condition and metabolic constituents occurred in the animals resulting from physiological adaptations of the transition period. The energetic components are the most affected from the transition period, with intense fat mobilization to supply the body demands.

ABSTRACT Chitosan has been successfully used as a biomaterial with several purposes in many species. In this study, chitosan membranes were produced with six different types of materials, and their behavior were evaluated upon implantation in the subcutaneous tissue of the flank of twelve healthy horses. We assessed chitosan membranes obtained from commercial chitosan, impregnated or not with silver nanoparticles, sterilized with ethylene oxide (CCEO, n=3; CCSNEO, n=3) or by ultraviolet radiation (CCUR, n=3; CCSNUR, n=3), and chitosan membranes obtained from squid gladius, sterilized with ethylene oxide (SCEO, n=6) or by ultraviolet radiation (SCUR, n=6). The same animals were randomly used in two experimental groups, with a minimum interval of 60 days between procedures, respecting the fact of only one flank side, left or right, be under evaluation by experimental period. After preparation of the membranes and implantation in the flank subcutaneous tissue of the horses, macroscopic and ultrasonographic evaluations of the implant regions were performed, as well as physical examination, blood count and fibrinogen measurement. No clinical or laboratory abnormalities were observed. All animals that received commercial chitosan membranes, regardless of the preparation technique, showed rejection to the biomaterials, considering that 100% of the surgical wounds presented dehiscence of suture and expulsion of the implants. The animals that received squid gladius chitosan membranes showed success in the treatment, with healing by primary intention of the surgical wound. We conclude that squid gladius chitosan membranes are biocompatible and biodegradable when implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of the flank of healthy horses.

DESIGN: The sample was composed of 101 adults (59 men) between 30 and 50 years old, who were recruited from different gyms and from a University in Brasil. Participants were divided according to their engagement in sports in early life (self-reported) and current physical activity (pedometer) (sports participation during childhood/adolescence and currently active [n=26], sports participation during childhood/adolescence and currently inactive [n=26], and control [n=49]). Cardiovascular risk factors were measured, such as body fat (through DXA), HDL-C, triglycerides, HOMA index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and C-reactive protein. We adopted the covariates of chronological age, sex, alcohol consumption, tobacco, and body mass index. General estimating equations were used, with p<0.05. RESULTS: After the adjustments of the final model, individuals engaged in sports during childhood and adolescence and inactive during adulthood presented lower body fat, when compared to participants persistently inactive (p<0.001). Participants persistently active presented lower body fat (p<0.001) and lower c-reactive protein (p=0.010) when compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Early sports participation was associated with reduced body fat, and being physically active throughout life was associated with reduced body fat and C-reactive protein.
Aportes teóricos a la investigación del campo periodístico. Sentidos y significados desde el Campo Intelectual Creador
Authors: León-Duarte Gustavo Adolfo
Published: December 2019

Resumen El habitus académico presente en la estructura del campo de la investigación periodística en España desarrolla una tendencia hacia la pérdida de trabajos teóricos conceptuales. Desarrollando las bases de una investigación cualitativa mediante técnicas y procedimientos del método de comparación constante, el texto aspira a integrar, en términos descriptivos y predictivos, el constructo, factores e indicadores de un núcleo teórico que aporta valor real al campo de la investigación del periodismo. Así, el estudio define, a partir de la integración teórica de la categoría de Campo Intelectual Creador (CIC), la efectiva aportación de la teoría de los campos de Pierre Bourdieu al campo de la investigación del periodismo en tanto el modelo teórico construido podría emplearse para observar, describir y explicar el comportamiento de las prácticas de producción, circulación y consumo del periodismo. La propuesta teórica de trabajo podría significar no sólo una nueva forma de compromiso reflexivo sino adicionalmente una propuesta práctica alternativa a las estrategias de investigación hoy dominantes en tanto define una efectiva aportación para explicar y predecir el comportamiento histórico y presente de la estructura y la distribución del capital científico del campo, así como lograr una representación coherentemente de los usos, significados y sentidos en su meta-investigación.

Contágios, fronteiras e encontros: articulando analíticas da cisgeneridade por entre tramas etnográficas em investigações sobre prisão
Authors: Cavalcanti Céu , Sander Vanessa
Published: December 2019

Resumo Este artigo propõe um diálogo entre duas pesquisadoras que investigam temas afins: as experiências de travestis e transexuais em privação de liberdade. Partindo das formulações de Donna Haraway (1995), pretendemos debater sobre a particularidade e a corporificação de toda visão etnográfica através de um eixo de diferenciação central para nossas vivências em campo: a identidade de gênero. Céu Cavalcanti discute sobre os encontros etnográficos e o desenvolvimento de sua pesquisa enquanto uma pessoa trans; Vanessa Sander faz o mesmo debatendo os caminhos de sua investigação como pessoa cisgênera. Os diálogos e as ressonâncias entre as duas vozes que aqui se encontram possibilitam um afluente de conexões, em que as tramas interseccionais que circundam nossa visão são objeto inicial de análise. Nas dinâmicas teórico-metodológicas temos um ponto de encontro das nossas perspectivas que nos convidam a conversar sobre o elemento central deste texto: as identificações de cisgeneridade e transgeneridade nos próprios marcadores das pesquisadoras que se propõem a produzir conhecimento junto à pluralidade das vivências trans.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the care provided to women in situations of sexual violence, from the perspective of professionals and from the perspective of the Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights. Method: a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted in a municipality in the north-central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with 30 professionals from the multiprofessional team of intersectoral care services for women in situations of sexual violence. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interview from January to April 2016. The results were subjected to Thematic Content Analysis. Results: four thematic categories emerged, entitled: principle of respect for human vulnerability and personal integrity, in which situations of vulnerability surrounding women are found; principle of non-discrimination and non-stigmatization: services with adequate structures, confidentiality of information, acceptance, unprejudiced practices and/or judgments in care; principle of human dignity and human rights, agile actions, prudence, articulation with other services, the role of the state and public policies are mentioned; and principle of autonomy and individual responsibility: in decision making, the importance of emancipation and empowerment. Conclusion: professionals face the challenge of facing a grievance surrounded by vulnerabilities and sometimes are not supported to meet the complex demands of women in situations of sexual violence. Protective public policies and care-based on user embracement are ways to minimize trauma and can encourage women to access services.

Do Modelo Matemático à Modelagem Matemática: descontinuidades históricas
Authors: Magnus Maria Carolina Machado , Caldeira Ademir Donizeti , Duarte Claudia Glavam
Published: December 2019

Resumo O presente artigo tem por objetivo problematizar o discurso da Modelagem Matemática na Educação Matemática, evidenciando uma de suas descontinuidades históricas – do modelo à modelagem. Os aportes teórico-metodológicos vinculam-se às teorizações do filósofo Michel Foucault. O material analítico abrange teses e dissertações sobre Modelagem Matemática na Educação Matemática, defendidas no Brasil no período de 1976 a 1999. A análise desses materiais evidenciou que o discurso da Modelagem, ao se entrelaçar ao discurso construtivista, na década de 1980, desloca o sentido de estudar matemática a partir de modelos enquanto produto para a construção de modelos enquanto processo.

Published: December 2019

Resumen Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio sobre la comprensión de los conceptos de intervalos de crecimiento y de decrecimiento y extremos relativos de una función y su incidencia en la resolución de problemas de optimización en estudiantes de ingeniería. Utilizamos como referente teórico las concepciones objeto-proceso definidas por Ana Sfard. Participaron en el estudio 27 equipos formados por dos alumnos cada uno. Mediante la técnica de Análisis de Componentes Principales pudimos reducir el número de variables y agrupar los equipos según características. Dentro de los principales resultados obtuvimos que aquellos equipos que evidenciaron las dos concepciones pudieron resolver los problemas de optimización planteados. La reducción de variables nos permitió caracterizar en término de las acciones de los alumnos las concepciones proceso-objeto de los conceptos mencionados.

ABSTRACT Diversity patterns and their causes remain important questions, especially for ecosystems that preserve natural conditions. This is the case of fish diversity in large Neotropical rivers. In this context, we investigated fish diversity patterns along an extensive unregulated river section (ca. 450 km) in the Middle Uruguay River Basin. Sampling was conducted seasonally between May 2017 and March 2018, at six sites (patches) with contrasting environmental conditions. We collected 3,008 individuals belonging to 90 species. Nine were migratory, which summed relevant biomass in local assemblages (20 to 60%). We observed spatial variation in assemblage structure, but weak seasonal effects. Overall, biomass was similar among sites, but richness tended to increase downstream. Migratory fishes showed opposed trends, with higher richness and biomass upstream, particularly catfishes (Siluriformes). Ordination analyses separated sites in three groups based on variations in composition and abundance, and revealed associations between these groups and specific hydro-geomorphic conditions (i.e., flow, depth, channel width and the presence of riparian vegetation). Our study revealed that fish diversity distributes heterogeneously along the main channel, where hydro-geomorphic patches select for distinct assemblages along riverine gradients.

ABSTRACT Lophiosilurus alexandri is a carnivorous freshwater fish endemic of São Francisco basin and an endangered species. In this study, we analysed the chemical composition (moisture, protein, ash and lipid), fatty acid profile, and nutritional quality (atherogenic index, thrombogenecity index, ratio between hypocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic fatty acids and ω6/ω3 = ratio) of L. alexandri in lotic (river), lentic (hydroelectric dams) environments, under natural fed, and in laboratory controlled conditions fed with commercial diets. Cultured and lentic fish had significantly higher lipid levels (1.5 and 1.9- fold, respectively) than lotic fish. Lentic L. alexandri had significantly higher eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels (4×) than cultured or lotic L. alexandri. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels were the highest in lentic fish, followed by lotic fish. Lentic fish had greater proportion of fatty acid ω6/ω3 than lotic or cultured fish. The results of this study showed that L. alexandri is a lean fish (1-2% of total lipids) and that the environment has a great influence on the fatty acid profile. These results may be a reference for further studies, primarily as a source of information for conservation L. alexandri through restocking and the development of commercial projects of aquaculture.
