Prácticas de curación pentecostales y católicas en Latinoamérica
Authors: Baker Josiah
Published: March 2020

Teólogos postliberales, como George Lindbeck, ven la doctrina como la gramática de la fe. Lindbeck aplica esta lógica al diálogo ecuménico. Si la doctrina es la gramática del lenguaje de la fe, el diálogo ecuménico es el proceso de traducción entre dos lenguas teológicas. Mientras muchos autores han estudiado el pensamiento postliberal de Lindbeck, pocos han examinado su potencial para el diálogo. A fin de evaluar el potencial de la teología postliberal para el diálogo, este artículo estudia el postliberalismo a través de un estudio de las prácticas curativas entre comunidades pentecostales y católicas en Latinoamérica. Estas prácticas se describen en primer lugar de acuerdo con la narrativa bíblica crística a la que pertenecen. Luego examino cómo la doctrina controla estas prácticas de acuerdo con su mediación, su restricción y su dimensión social. Por último, el artículo evalúa los beneficios y las desventajas del método postliberal para el diálogo ecuménico.
Una forma relativamente nueva de teología
Authors: Schickendantz Carlos
Published: March 2020

En el proceso de redacción de Gaudium et spes emergió una novedad metodológica que, finalmente, estructuró la Constitución Pastoral. En el discernimiento de los signos de los tiempos reside «el alma del esquema» afirmó entonces Marie-Dominique Chenu; se trata del «enfoque empírico-teológico» (M. McGrath) que «marca una nueva época de la teología» (H.-J. Sander). El presente artículo examina la recepción de dicha transformación metodológica en bibliografía de Estados Unidos. Varias preguntas guían el trabajo, ante todo, la verificación de la existencia de una conciencia del cambio metodológico, también el análisis acerca de la conceptualización y las fuentes bibliográficas utilizadas, las perspectivas hermenéuticas que fundamentan los diversos planteos. El trabajo permite esbozar algunas peculiaridades fuertemente condicionadas por el contexto lingüístico.
Assessment of clinical reasoning: three evolutions of thought
Authors: Schuwirth Lambert W.T. , Durning Steven J. , King Svetlana M.
Published: March 2020

Although assessing clinical reasoning is almost universally considered central to medical education it is not a straightforward issue. In the past decades, our insights into clinical reasoning as a phenomenon, and consequently the best ways to assess it, have undergone significant changes. In this article, we describe how the interplay between fundamental research, practical applications, and evaluative research has pushed the evolution of our thinking and our practices in assessing clinical reasoning.
Limitations of the effectiveness of Weigh in Motion systems
Authors: Ryguła Artur , Brzozowski Krzysztof , Maczyński Andrzej
Published: March 2020

Overloaded vehicles pose a real threat to road safety and significantly contribute to the degradation of the road surface. High-Speed Weigh in Motion (HS-WIM) stations are the commonly used method of eliminating them from traffic. In Poland, HS-WIM stations operate in pre-selection mode, sending information to services about the potential exceedance of acceptable standards by a specific vehicle. The article presents the results of the data analysis from selected HS-WIM stations operating on the national road network in Poland indicating significant limitations of the effectiveness of the whole system. The main reason for this may be that carriers use the knowledge about the HS-WIM stations location and working time to avoid inspections. The results presented in the paper indicate, among other things, that in some locations the share of vehicles overloaded with traffic increases significantly outside the working hours of the controlling services. For Light Commercial Vehicle, the share of overloaded vehicles in this group is also significant. Also, the paper indicates that the effectiveness of the procedure for determining vehicle overload has been limited due to errors in classification.

Published: March 2020

Shell Eco-marathon is an international competition to develop a vehicle with the lowest fuel consumption. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University in Košice has been involved in this competition for 25 years, during which it developed 8 vehicles. For vehicles are important not only low fuel consumption but also high safety. In addition to the low aerodynamic drag of the vehicle, the low weight of the vehicle is important to achieve low fuel consumption. This is achieved by using ultra-light and solid materials in all parts of the vehicle. The latest generation vehicle uses a self-supporting body, which has increased requirements for front and rear stiffness, as discussed in this article.
On the Heat Flow Through a Porous Tube Filled with Incompressible Viscous Fluid
Authors: Pažanin Igor , Radulović Marko
Published: March 2020

We studied the non-isothermal flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a porous tube. Motivated by filtration problems, Darcy’s law was incorporated on the walls of the tube and the flow was pressure driven. The main goal was to investigate the thermodynamic part of the system, assuming that the hydrodynamic part is known. In view of the applications we wanted to model, the fluid inside the tube was supposed to be cooled (or heated) by the surrounding medium. Using asymptotic analysis with respect to the small parameter (being the ratio between the tube’s thickness and its length), we constructed the explicit second-order approximation for the temperature distribution of the fluid. Numerical examples are provided to compare the obtained solution with the one derived for a rigid tube and also to show the corrections due to higher-order terms.
The archaeology of climate change in Late and Post-Glacial North-west Europe
Authors: Walker James
Published: March 2020

Climate change regularly made the news in 2019. In the face of numerous protests around the globe, and increasingly frequent natural disasters, we appear to be entering a (perhaps overdue) stage of heightened awareness with regard to the fragility of the Earth and our impact upon it. Current concerns over the fate of our planet, and species, look set to stay, but for deep-time prehistorians, who have long contended with records of environmental change on a scale relatively unparalleled in historic times, business continues as usual. In the opening to Resilience and reorganisation of social systems during the Weichselian Lateglacial in North-west Europe, Sonja Grimm makes reference to the importance of the Club of Rome (a non-profit, non-governmental organisation) in highlighting socio-ecological stability as an issue for public concern, and one that archaeological studies such as this can contribute to and bolster. Meanwhile, Peter Moe Astrup, in his introduction to Sea-level change in Mesolithic southern Scandinavia, notes that Mesolithic people from this area would have been exposed to the consequences of global sea-level rise on a far greater scale than those predicted for our own future generations. What these volumes share is an emphasis on the importance of adaptive flexibility and the human experience in shaping our response to climate change.
Aprendizaje por proyectos en la clase de Bachillerato: la opereta La Corte de Faráon
Authors: Blasco Magraner José Salvador , Botella Nicolás Ana María
Published: March 2020

El aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) resulta muy apropiado para aprender las competencias que fija el currículo de Bachillerato desde el enfoque interdisciplinar. Las distintas áreas deben fomentar este tipo de enseñanza en la que el alumno aprende de forma global, al tiempo que se estimula el trabajo cooperativo. A diferencia de la metodología clásica, el aprendizaje basado en proyectos parte de una pregunta concreta a la que los alumnos tratan de dar respuesta mediante la construcción de un proyecto. Esta modalidad educativa adquiere más significado hoy en día, debido a los distintos niveles de aprendizaje que poseen los alumnos. Además, la enseñanza por proyectos ayuda a aunar las distintas áreas de interés que muestran los estudiantes. En este sentido, La Corte de Faraón es idónea para el trabajo por proyectos por ser una obra teatral donde confluyen las artes de forma ejemplar y cuya temática es de interés para el alumnado. Se propone esta opereta como estrategia de aprendizaje basado en proyectos. A través del ensayo de la música y de la danza se fomenta el trabajo en equipo y valiosas habilidades como la cooperación, el respeto y la asunción de responsabilidades para la consecución de un objetivo común. Por otro lado, este tipo de proyectos despierta el interés del alumnado al integrar todos los conocimientos en un objetivo final.
Tradición e innovación en Twitter. Un ensayo de tradiciones discursivas en cuentas mexicanas a través de la junción
Authors: Ubiarco Moya Juan Ricardo
Published: March 2020

Estas líneas presentan algunos resultados obtenidos sometiendo a la experimentación una hipótesis que sugiere la posibilidad de identificar síntomas de una Tradición Discursiva -entendida como todo molde históricamente determinado para la comunicación en una lengua con su propia historicidad- en un texto a través de la frecuencia relativa de los esquemas de junción -elementos que conectan las proposiciones en un discurso- que aparecen en dicho texto. Se recabó un corpus de 200 mensajes de Twitter, proveniente de cuatro cuentas correspondientes a distintas esferas de actividad humana -institucional, comercial, informativa y personal-, para luego hacer un análisis con el fin de encontrar los esquemas de junción presentes en los mensajes, así como elementos progresivamente alejados de lo lingüístico, pero fuertemente vinculados a ello. De esto se obtienen algunos datos estadísticos que luego se someten a interpretación cualitativa, describiendo algunos elementos conservadores de Tradiciones Discursivas en distintas esferas, como la omisión de argumentos y el uso del discurso directo en la esfera informativa, o el diario en la esfera personal. Con este análisis, las cuatro esferas se pueden clasificar en dos grupos, siguiendo la noción de marcos de emisión de Goffman (1981). Los elementos conservadores, aunados a los innovadores, permiten postular la plausibilidad de una Tradición Discursiva nacida en Twitter.
Medios de comunicación y flujos culturales internacionales: la vigencia actual del informe McBride
Authors: Vaquerizo Domínguez Enrique
Published: March 2020

Este artículo realiza un análisis de la relación entre los flujos internacionales culturales y comunicativos tomando como referencia las recomendaciones del informe McBride publicado en 1980 como voz de alerta ante la concentración del poder mediático en manos de un reducido número de países, situación que favorecía la uniformización cultural en el planeta. Su objetivo es la actualización de esa fotografía realizada por dicho informe a partir de la disección del origen y control del panorama mediático, así como de sus canales y audiencias principales. A través de un análisis cualitativo de los principales conglomerados mediáticos y canales televisivos internacionales de más difusión, se establece cómo funcionan en la actualidad los mecanismos de influencia cultural en el planeta. Los resultados de la investigación no difieren sustancialmente de los del informe McBride y evidencian cómo el control de los medios de los principales conglomerados de comunicación continúa en manos de un reducido grupo de países occidentales y que sus mensajes continúan contribuyendo a difundir modelos económicos, políticos y culturales hegemónicos. Pese a la prevalencia de esta dinámica el presente artículo también se hace eco de varias respuestas ensayadas a nivel local, desde la creación de medios de comunicación articulados en función de vínculos culturales y dirigidos en muchos casos, a comunidades migrantes en la diáspora, a la aparición de oportunidades innovadoras ligadas al desarrollo del ecosistema digital de comunicación.
Differential Scaling of Synaptic Molecules within Functional Zones of an Excitatory Synapse during Homeostatic Plasticity
Authors: Venkatesan Sridevi , Subramaniam Sandhya , Rajeev Premchand , Chopra Yukti , Jose Mini , Nair Deepak
Published: March 2020

Homeostatic scaling is a form of synaptic plasticity where individual synapses scale their strengths to compensate for global suppression or elevation of neuronal activity. This process can be studied by measuring miniature EPSP (mEPSP) amplitudes and frequencies following the regulation of activity in neuronal cultures. Here, we demonstrate a quantitative approach to characterize multiplicative synaptic scaling using immunolabelling of hippocampal neuronal cultures treated with tetrodotoxin (TTX) or bicuculline to extract scaling factors for various synaptic proteins. This approach allowed us to directly examine the scaling of presynaptic and postsynaptic scaffolding molecules along with neurotransmitter receptors in primary cultures from mouse and rat hippocampal neurons. We show robust multiplicative scaling of synaptic scaffolding molecules namely, Shank2, PSD95, Bassoon, and AMPA receptor subunits and quantify their scaling factors. We use super-resolution microscopy to calculate scaling factors of surface expressed GluA2 within functional zones of the synapse and show that there is differential and correlated scaling of GluA2 levels within the spine, the postsynaptic density (PSD), and the perisynaptic regions. Our method opens a novel paradigm to quantify relative molecular changes of synaptic proteins within distinct subsynaptic compartments from a large number of synapses in response to alteration of neuronal activity, providing anatomic insights into the intricacies of variability in strength of individual synapses.

Purpose

Observational studies show that longer breastfeeding periods reduce maternal risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it is currently unknown if the long-term benefits of breastfeeding for maternal glucose homeostasis are linked to changes in the endocrine pancreas.

Methods

We presently evaluated functional, morphological and molecular aspects of the endocrine pancreas of mice subjected to two sequential cycles of pregnancy and lactation (L21). Age-matched mice not allowed to breastfeed (L0) and virgin mice were used as controls.

Results

L21 mice exhibited increased tolerance and increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by isolated islets. Pancreatic islets of L21 mice did not present evident morphological changes to justify the increased GSIS. On the other hand, islets of L21 mice exhibited a reduction in Cavb3 and Kir6.2 expression with concordant increased intracellular Ca2+ levels after challenge with glucose.

Conclusion

Altogether, the present findings show the breastfeeding exerts long-term benefits for maternal endocrine pancreas by increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels and GSIS.

Democracias pluralistas: ¿una alternativa para el Gobierno colombiano?
Authors: Rodríguez Ortiz Angélica María
Published: March 2020

En las últimas décadas, se evidenció la crisis que afronta el Gobierno colombiano, a tal grado que parte del pueblo ha puesto en duda la efectividad de la democracia que se sustenta en el contrato social. Pese a esto, es preciso decir que la democracia —como lo han sostenido diversos filósofos a través de la historia — es la forma de gobierno más próxima al estado de la naturaleza humana, porque opera bajo el principio de igualdad jurídica y social. Razón por la cual este artículo pretende mostrar cómo las democracias pluralistas pueden ser una alternativa de gobierno para operar en el pluralismo político que ha pululado en los últimos años en la sociedad colombiana y con esto alcanzar representatividad y participación democrática real, que dé solución a los problemas del contexto. Visto así, no se trata de eliminar la democracia como forma de gobierno, sino de descentralizar el poder, en aras de plantear soluciones más efectivas.
Epigenetic Regulation of ABA-Induced Transcriptional Responses in Maize
Authors: Vendramin Stefania , Huang Ji , Crisp Peter A , Madzima Thelma F , McGinnis Karen M
Published: March 2020

Plants are subjected to extreme environmental conditions and must adapt rapidly. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) accumulates during abiotic stress, signaling transcriptional changes that trigger physiological responses. Epigenetic modifications often facilitate transcription, particularly at genes exhibiting temporal, tissue-specific and environmentally-induced expression. In maize (Zea mays), MEDIATOR OF PARAMUTATION 1 (MOP1) is required for progression of an RNA-dependent epigenetic pathway that regulates transcriptional silencing of loci genomewide. MOP1 function has been previously correlated with genomic regions adjoining particular types of transposable elements and genic regions, suggesting that this regulatory pathway functions to maintain distinct transcriptional activities within genomic spaces, and that loss of MOP1 may modify the responsiveness of some loci to other regulatory pathways. As critical regulators of gene expression, MOP1 and ABA pathways each regulate specific genes. To determine whether loss of MOP1 impacts ABA-responsive gene expression in maize, mop1-1 and Mop1 homozygous seedlings were subjected to exogenous ABA and RNA-sequencing. A total of 3,242 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in four pairwise comparisons. Overall, ABA-induced changes in gene expression were enhanced in mop1-1 homozygous plants. The highest number of DEGs were identified in ABA-induced mop1-1 mutants, including many transcription factors; this suggests combinatorial regulatory scenarios including direct and indirect transcriptional responses to genetic disruption (mop1-1) and/or stimulus-induction of a hierarchical, cascading network of responsive genes. Additionally, a modest increase in CHH methylation at putative MOP1-RdDM loci in response to ABA was observed in some genotypes, suggesting that epigenetic variation might influence environmentally-induced transcriptional responses in maize.
A NEW GOLDEN YELLOW SMALL-FLOWERED CYRTOCHILUM SPECIES (ORCHIDACEAE: ONCIDIINAE) FROM PERU
Authors: Dalström Stig , Trujillo Delsy
Published: March 2020

A new golden yellow small-flowered species of Cyrtochilum is described and illustrated with a line drawing and photographs. It is compared with superficially similar species in the C. aureum complex, in which the new species differs by the lack of lacerate column wings typical for that group. It is distinguished from all other known small-flowered Cyrtochilum species by the golden yellow color in combination with the distinctly pandurate lip lamina where the front lobe is wider than the basal lobes combined.

Published: March 2020

Waduk Jatibarang merupakan waduk yang belum lama beroperasi dan masih tergolong waduk baru. Kegiatan perikanan yang berkembang didominasi oleh perikanan pancing. Selain penangkapan, peningkatan produksi juga dilakukan dengan penebaran ikan, namun belum didukung kajian daya dukung yang memadai. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai daya dukung sumber daya ikan di waduk Jatibarang. Kegiatan penelitian dilakukan pada Bulan Mei dan Juli 2018 yang meliputi 4 (empat stasiun yang mewakili inlet, tengah dan outlet waduk. Data primer yang dikumpulkan meliputi kualitas air (parameter fisika, kimia dan biologi). Data pendukung penelitian meliputi elevasi muka air, diperoleh dari Balai Besar Wilayah Sungai Pemali-Juana, dan data kedalaman, diperoleh dari akuisisi data GPS Sounder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai daya dukung sumber daya ikan di Waduk Jatibarang berkisar antara 3,57-6,3 ton/tahun. Kedalaman perairan sangat mempengaruhi nilai daya dukung. Nilai daya dukung lebih rendah pada kedalaman perairan lebih dari 20 m dan relatif tinggi pada kedalaman lebih dari 10 m. Selain pengaruh kedalaman juga terdapat pengaruh lain seperti fluktuasi muka air, kelimpahan plankton, kecerahan, dan unsur hara berupa nitrat. Diharapkan kajian terkait potensi produksi dapat dilakukan untuk optimalisasi pemanfaatan perikanan yang berkelanjutan.Jatibarang Reservoir is a new operating reservoir. Existing fishing activities are dominated by handline. Except fishing activities, many fish have been stocked to improve the production, but it has not been supported by adequate carrying capacity studies. The purpose of this research was to determine the value of carrying capacity of fish resources in the Jatibarang Reservoir. The study was conducted in May and July 2018 representing the inlet, center, and outlet of the reservoir. The collected data consisted of physical, chemical, and biological data obtained at 4 (four) research stations representing the inlet, center, and outlet of the reservoir. Supporting data include water level elevation obtained from the Pemali-Juana River Basin Authority and bathymetry data obtained from GPS Sounder data acquisition. The results showed that the value of carrying capacity of fish resources in the Jatibarang Reservoir is 3.57-6.3 tons/year. The depth of the waters greatly affects the value of carrying capacity. The value of smaller carrying capacity occurs at the water depths of more than 20 m, but is relatively high at the depths of more than 10 m. There are also other influences such as water level fluctuations, plankton abundance, water brightness, and nitrates. Furthermore, a study of production potential should be carried out to optimize the sustainable fisheries utilization.
New light on an old problem
Authors: Lewis Carenza , Waites Ian
Published: March 2020

This paper uses new data from archaeological excavations to explore the effectiveness of the “Radburn” layout used in many post-war social housing estates in the UK, the name referring to a design modelled on Radburn in New Jersey in the United States. Their design aimed to provide healthy living environments for less-affluent families by fronting homes onto communal pedestrianized “greens”, enabling people to circulate and children to “play out” safely near their homes. However, many Radburn estates are now socially deprived and explanations for this have included suggestions that the Radburn plan was inappropriate to the wants and needs of resident families. Analysis of 20 small archaeological excavations carried out in 2016 by residents of a Radburn-type council estate in Lincolnshire recovered lost aspects of its heritage, including a large number of child-related items from sites on the communal greens. This suggests that the greens were indeed used as intended for children’s play, undermining suggestions that inappropriate design was a significant factor in the decline of estates such as this.

Published: March 2020

Abstract Many people have a habit of moving their legs and believe that this behavior is due to the restless legs syndrome (RLS), a highly prevalent neurological condition that greatly impairs the quality of life of affected individuals. This behavioral pattern, characterized by the habit of moving one’s legs and feet, may be an important confounding factor in the diagnosis of RLS. Objective: To describe the main movements associated with this benign behavioral state to characterize a possible clinical condition that can contribute to the differential diagnosis of RLS. Methods: Experienced sleep specialists, who primarily see RLS patients listed the most frequent movements people without RLS report while describing their suspected RLS. We first compiled a list of the lower-limb movements described by the specialists. Then, one of the authors (KC) carried out all movements of the list on camera to obtain a video footage. This footage was sent to one of the authors, EPC, who, alongside a group of students, drew graphic representations (cartoons) of the recorded movements. Results: The panel of sleep experts described 13 leg movements commonly reported by their patients. The experts reported 11 simple movements and two combined movements. Conclusion: In this study we developed an instrument that allows us to oppose and distinguish a pathological condition (RLS) from a behavioral phenomenon. This state of behavioral leg fidgeting needs to be better characterized and may eventually be recognized as a clinical entity per se.

Published: March 2020

Abstract Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a cause of a severe disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in humans. The demonstration of specific antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may contribute to the retrospective neurological diagnosis. However, the commercial immunological tests for HSV infection are for use in serum samples. Objective: The aim of the present study was to adapt a commercial kit anti-HSV IgG used for serum samples to be performed with a CSF sample. Methods: Forty CSF specimens from 38 patients with suspected CNS HSV infection were serially diluted for detecting anti-HSV IgG by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). The same samples were also analyzed with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: The sensitivity of EIA test for HSV was 5% (dilution 1:40) and 65% (dilution 1:2) in CSF, and HSV DNA PCR was 15%. The combined analysis of EIA (dilution 1:2) and PCR increased the sensitivity up to 72.5%. The inflammatory CSF was associated with positive HSV PCR. Conclusions: We demonstrated the importance to adapt serological anti-HSV IgG EIA test for CSF assays to increase the accuracy of the analysis, considering the low concentration of specific antibodies in CSF.

Published: March 2020

Abstract In Gachantivá, Colombia, Rubus alutaceus has been used for commercial purposes for more than one decade but so far with unknown taxonomic identity. For its identification, the anatomical and morphological characteristics of its flowers, fruits, leaves, stems, and seeds, as well as the physicochemical characteristics of its fruits such as color, equatorial and polar diameter, fresh weight, pH and total soluble solids (TSS), were studied. Qualitative and quantitative morphological parameters were evaluated, and longitudinal and transverse cuts were made for histological studies. The plants were found to have trifoliate and pentafoliate leaves; whitish–yellow subglobose polydrupes, fully mature fruits with 8.8°Brix TSS; elliptical, subglobose seeds with ruminated endocarps; anatomical calcium oxalate crystals in the form of druses and raphides in the leaves and branches; and abundant hairs, simple and glandular (colleters) addition to vascular tissue with a more or less continuous appearance. High value in TSS, positively influences fruit agribusiness and the presence of simple hair and colleters can reduce the attack of pests, these variables identify the new species and give it agronomic potential to strengthen its cultivation and marketing.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: Propose a research model that involves the conceptual relationships between the theoretical support of the absorptive capacity and analytics, emphasizing the way in which the tool contributes to the formation of absorptive capacity within the companies. Originality/value: It was possible to delineate a model with the theoretical associations between absorptive capacity and analytics from the voices of experts and decision makers of Portuguese companies, contributing as a tool to guide strategies that help companies for a better understanding of how the absorption of knowledge occurs in analytics implementations to better target efforts at incremental value generation. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative study was carried out with the adoption of Grounded Theory as a research strategy. In this way, techniques and procedures of the method were followed that allowed the constant collection and analysis of the data, supported with the use of Atlas.ti software. Findings: The main theoretical contribution is the proposition of a conceptual model that considers emerging categories, subcategories, properties, and dimensions, that qualify the conceptual alignment between absorptive capacity and analytics and explain the existence of the construct over implementation. As entrepreneurial contributions, the configuration of knowledge absorption according to two analytic use patterns is emphasized: as oriented towards solving specific problems and as a guideline of institutional planning.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for the development of sugarcane and particularly the use of more productive and demanding varieties, for which the doses of nitrogen fertilization necessary during the plant cane cycle may be underestimated and the critical levels of nitrogen in the leaf may be modified. The objective of this study was to determine the critical nitrogen dilution curve (CNDC) for leaves, evaluate the aboveground dry mass production (DM) and productivity of two varieties fertilized with N in the plant cane cycle. The study was conducted under field conditions, evaluating two sugarcane varieties RB92579 and RB867515, fertilized with seven doses of N (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 200 kg ha-1). The varieties and doses were arranged in randomized blocks and analyzed in the 2 × 7 factorial scheme. It was found that the nitrogen concentration in the leaf decreased with four repetitions increase in DM yield and adjusted an exponential model, which enabled to estimate the critical levels of 13.03 and 12.46 g N kg-1 dry matter in the varieties RB92579 and RB867515, respectively. The plant cane cycle were observed to respond positively to nitrogen fertilization, with increase of 18.66% in tons of stalk per hectare (TSH) in response to the application addition of up to 129.45 kg N ha-1. The variety RB92579 showed the lowest dilution of the critical nitrogen concentration, the highest production of DM and higher stalk yield, and accordingly is considered to be the more efficient of the two varieties with respect to nitrogen fertilizer utilization.
Use of the movie “Lorenzo’s Oil” for didactic purposes in neuroscience and others health fields
Authors: Gonçalves Lauana Lopes , Aversi-Ferreira Tales Alexandre
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Although the traditional method of teaching is still the most popular nowadays, the use of different methodologies such as play approaches, for instance, could be used to make the teaching-learning process a more active approach. Nonetheless, the use of films that represent true stories are more pertinent in active teaching, especially those directly associated with a specific field and that are not merely dramatic. Lorenzo’s oil can inform students about many biological topics and problems linked to intensive care. Furthermore, it also addresses the impact of a neurological disease in a social environment and promotes an intrinsic discussion about sciences in general. Given the above, we propose the hypothesis that the film is useful for educational purposes in health, specifically neuroscience. Lorenzo’s Oil seems to be a good option for the use of a new approach in health science education. The richness of medical topics linked to modern aspects, such as nutrition for patients with mental disorders and palliative care combined with spirituality aspects, promotes an important discussion and constitutes a less stressing learning activity for students. Although some papers cite the importance of the movie for genetics and other fields, this paper shows the importance of efforts to address these topics using a more modern educational approach. According to the results presented, Lorenzo’s Oil could be used extensively for medical/health sciences, confirming the initial hypothesis.
Normative data for middle-aged Brazilians in Verbal Fluency (animals and FAS), Trail Making Test (TMT) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT)
Authors: Carvalho Guilherme Almeida , Caramelli Paulo
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Normative studies of neuropsychological tests were performed in Brazil in recent years. However, additional data are needed because of the heterogeneity of education of the Brazilian population. Objective: The present study provides normative data of executive function tests for middle-aged Brazilians and investigates the influence of age, sex, education and intelligence quotient (IQ) on performance in these tests. Methods: A total of 120 healthy staff and caregivers from a hospital were randomly selected and submitted to Fluency – animals and FAS, Trail Making Test (TMT) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT). They were divided into six groups of 20: two groups for age (45-54 and 55-64 years) and three groups for years of schooling (4-7; 8-11; 12+ years). Results: Normative data are presented in mean values and percentiles. Education influenced differences in the tests, except the CDT. Post hoc analyses revealed differences between the three educational levels on the TMT and FAS. Age differences emerged on the TMT and fluency letter F. Moderate correlation was found between schooling and results on TMT and Fluency. The correlations for IQ were similar. Conclusion: This study provides normative data for middle-aged Brazilians with four or more years of schooling in frequently used cognitive tests to assess executive functions. The results confirm the strong influence of education, even in the comparison between middle and higher levels.
Cerebral localization of higher functions: Memory-related anatomic structures
Authors: Engelhardt Eliasz
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT The nature of memory and the search for its localization have been a subject of interest since Antiquity. After millennia of theoretical concepts, shifting from the heart to the brain, then from the ventricles to solid parts, the core memory-related structures finally began to be identified through modern scientifically-based methods at the diencephalic and cortical (hippocampal and neocortical) levels, mostly in the late Modern period, culminating in the current state of knowledge on the subject.
Hermann Rorschach: From klecksography to psychiatry
Authors: Teles Filho Ricardo Vieira
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Hermann Rorschach was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, best known for developing a projective test known as the Rorschach inkblot test, a test designed to reflect unconscious parts of the personality that project into the visual stimuli generated by the inkblots, allowing a psychodiagnosis to be established. The technique he developed has been applied since 1921 in a number of countries. Although it has long remained controversial and divided opinions, this did not prevent it from overcoming the barriers of science to have a major influence on pop culture, resulting in an undeniable legacy for the development of Psychiatry in the nineteenth century.

Resumo A crescente complexidade das necessidades de saúde que requerem abordagem ampliada e contextualizada e da organização dos serviços em rede motivou a revisita ao conceito de trabalho em equipe, à tipologia equipe-integração e agrupamento e aos seus atributos. O efetivo trabalho em equipe se constitui como expressão, por um lado, da articulação das ações das diversas áreas mediante o reconhecimento da sua interdependência e, por outro, da complementaridade indispensável entre agir instrumental e agir comunicativo. Destaca-se que o trabalho em equipe também é expressão da divisão social do trabalho e da transformação de diferenças técnicas em desigual valor social dos trabalhos especializados das diversas profissões e, portanto, dos seus agentes. As contradições presentes nos processos de trabalho, na sua consubstancialidade às necessidades de saúde, podem se limitar a reiterar os modelos dominantes de atenção à saúde ou buscar sua superação por meio de mediações reflexivas e dialógicas dos trabalhadores das equipes entre si e destes com usuários, famílias e população. Por fim, trabalho em equipe constitui uma das formas de trabalho interprofissional com práticas colaborativas, e essa colaboração pode se dar na equipe ou no trabalho em rede com usuários e comunidade.
‘VIDA DE ESCOLA’: EDUCAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO NA REDE DE ESCOLAS DE SAÚDE PÚBLICA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Xavier Caco
Published: March 2020

Resumo O objetivo foi buscar as relações entre conceitos caros à educação, tomando por base a interseção entre os campos profissionais da educação, da comunicação e da gestão voltados para a saúde pública. Para tornar possíveis tais sínteses, investe-se na criação do conceito de ‘vida de escola’, por meio de documentos e atividades no âmbito da rede de escolas de saúde pública brasileira, em que essa expressão teria surgido, à espera de definições e vizinhanças adequadas. Por meio desse conceituário, discutem-se alguns dos aspectos e mediações mais fundamentais às concepções modernas de educação e ao papel das escolas de saúde em nosso país.
NA FRONTEIRA DO MERCADO DE EMPREGO: JOVENS, TRABALHO E CIDADANIA
Authors: Marques Ana Paula Pereira
Published: March 2020

Resumo Os riscos de precarização e maior vulnerabilidade dos jovens às recentes políticas econômicas e financeiras restritivas em Portugal configuram transformações significativas nos seus percursos educativos e profissionais. As transições para o mercado de trabalho tornam-se incertas e subjetivas, comprometem a capacidade dos jovens de projetarem os seus futuros e oportunidades profissionais. Este artigo destaca os processos de diferenciação que instauram desigualdades sociais nos itinerários de transição profissional. Ao combinar uma metodologia que articula estatísticas oficiais e evidências empíricas de estudos, sustenta-se uma análise crítica das fragilidades do sistema educativo e do mercado de trabalho português no contexto da União Europeia. Dos principais resultados, destacam-se as fragilidades de inserção dos jovens, visíveis na maior incidência ao desemprego e a empregos precários e maior restrição no acesso à proteção de direitos sociais. Os (novos) riscos ampliam-se, acentuando a individualização nos processos de recrutamento e a inexistência de carreiras e planejamento do futuro profissional, o que contribui para um agravamento das desigualdades (inter)geracionais e sociais na relação com o trabalho e o emprego.
O TRABALHO DO AGENTE COMUNITÁRIO DE SAÚDE E AS DIFERENÇAS SOCIAIS NO TERRITÓRIO
Authors: Faria Cintya Cristine Martins da Veiga , Paiva Carlos Henrique Assunção
Published: March 2020

Resumo Neste artigo, discutem-se as diferenciações sociais apresentadas como desafios aos agentes comunitários de saúde no seu trabalho cotidiano. O estudo consistiu em analisar as configurações sociais construídas no território adscrito, com base na ação dos agentes. Destacam-se as ferramentas analíticas que permitem compreender os diferentes padrões de estratificação social entre grupos pertencentes a um mesmo ambiente socioeconômico. O método de pesquisa adotado baseou-se na abordagem qualitativa por meio de dez entrevistas semiestruturadas e acompanhamento em uma clínica da família do município do Rio de Janeiro em 2016 e 2017, valendo-se de técnicas socioetnográficas. Os resultados apontam para a existência de dificuldades que impedem a adesão da população adscrita aos serviços ofertados pela clínica da família, assim como para a identificação de grupos com diferenças de poder e prestígio. Reitera-se a questão sobre como as equipes de saúde lidam com configurações sociais específicas. Conclui-se que as relações estabelecidas no espaço que circunscreve as unidades de saúde da família necessitam ser constantemente monitoradas, para identificar possíveis diferenças na adesão decorrentes das configurações sociais específicas da população adscrita aos serviços de saúde.
FORMAÇÃO EM GESTÃO PARA APOIO À REFORMA DA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE EM PORTUGAL E PAÍSES AFRICANOS LUSÓFONOS
Authors: Lapão Luís Velez , Dussault Gilles
Published: March 2020

Resumo Apresentamos lições que resultaram de atividades de capacitação dos gestores conduzidas em Portugal no contexto da reforma da atenção primária em saúde e nos países africanos de língua oficial portuguesa, em termos do planejamento e da gestão dos serviços hospitalares e de saúde pública. Descrevemos três programas de formação-ação realizados pela Unidade de Saúde Pública Internacional do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical de Lisboa, com o apoio de parceiros portugueses e internacionais como a Organização Mundial da Saúde e o Instituto de Medicina Social da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Os programas foram desenvolvidos na base da identificação das necessidades de competências dos participantes e focaram a resolução de problemas concretos com o objetivo de ajudar os gestores a enfrentar as dificuldades inerentes aos processos de reforma. Apesar do seu valor intrínseco, por si só não se mostram suficientes, uma vez que são sempre necessários outros mecanismos, como o acompanhamento continuado dos gestores, sistemas de incentivos coerentes com os objetivos das reformas, ferramentas e recursos (financiamento, sistemas de informação, pessoal qualificado suficiente) adequados para implementar as mudanças. Além disso, a sustentabilidade das intervenções de fortalecimento das capacidades carece de apoio continuado dos decisores políticos.
UMA PROPOSTA DE RELEITURA DO TRABALHO EM SAÚDE NO BRASIL INSPIRADA NA EXPERIÊNCIA DE PORTUGAL
Authors: Ramos Marise Nogueira , Caria Telmo Humberto Lapa
Published: March 2020

Resumo Neste artigo, discutem-se pesquisas realizadas em Portugal e no Brasil sobre saberes profissionais respectivamente de trabalhadores sociais e de técnicos em saúde, apoiados no conceito de sociocognição – o conhecimento implicado na experiência social –, cujo sentido analítico requer identificar situações de trabalho, competências práticas e cognitivas ou modos de cognição que estruturam e sustentam a ação dos trabalhadores nas respectivas situações. Tais elementos do trabalho profissional foram organizados em uma tipologia da sociocognição em situação. Os saberes profissionais, com caráter predominantemente tácito, equivalem aos conhecimentos produzidos e mobilizados nessas situações. As primeiras pesquisas realizadas no Brasil, nesse sentido, foram feitas com técnicos em saúde bucal, tendo-se, posteriormente, extrapolado a análise, em alguns aspectos, para o conjunto dos técnicos de equipes da saúde da família. Dentre os resultados, pode-se destacar que a principal competência prática demonstrada pelos técnicos estudados é o acolhimento, enquanto o modo de cognição ou competência cognitiva que mais se manifesta é o de caráter intuitivo associativo ou seletivo. A experiência prática tende a ser mais reconhecida do que a formação técnica, ainda que as etnografias sobre saberes profissionais possam ajudar a tornar mais explícita a relação entre essas duas dimensões do trabalho profissional.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the national scientific production of Speech-Language Therapy in the interface with Occupational Therapy (OT) based on an integrative literature review. Methods: a selection of articles published in Brazilian journals in the field of Occupational Therapy: Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional of UFSCar, Revista de Terapia Ocupacional of USP, Revista Baiana da Terapia Ocupacional and Revista Interinstitucional Brasileira de Terapia Ocupacional with the descriptors “speech therapy, speech therapist and speech-language therapy”. The sample, consisting of 10 articles, was analyzed with quantitative and qualitative procedures. Results: the search showed publications from 2000 to 2017, with the largest number of articles in 2015. The main findings point to the language area as the most prevalent, revealing a connection between speech therapy and OT. Assistive Technology, particularly adopted with children, is a common field among the professional areas studied, with the highest incidence in the articles. Conclusion: the analysis of the scientific production showed that the partnership between Speech-Language Therapy and OT appeared under different objectives and the public, as early intervention, actions in multiple disabilities, with the disabled child and their family, with autists in hippotherapy, in school inclusion and in assistive technology, the latter more frequently. These findings allowed reflections on the interdisciplinarity of both professions and fields of knowledge.
A Teoria Ator-Rede e o estudo da intersetorialidade nas políticas públicas
Authors: Malvezzi Cilene Despontin , Nascimento Juliana Luporini do
Published: March 2020

A polissemia do termo rede está presente nas realidades política, econômica e social. Em sua essência, as redes visam integrar e conectar pessoas, objetos ou ideias, com vistas a descentralizar e estabelecer relações mais horizontais entre os elementos. No campo das políticas públicas, a lógica da intersetorialidade e das redes intersetoriais surge como uma estratégia do Estado para promover a articulação entre o setor público, privado e a sociedade civil, dada a complexidade dos problemas e a escassez de recursos. À luz dos conceitos da Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR), de Bruno Latour, o objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma estratégia metodológica que permita descrever e analisar as redes intersetoriais, os atores-rede envolvidos, o fluxo das associações, os consensos e as controvérsias que permeiam as relações e os elementos capazes de influenciar as políticas públicas e as transformações sociais.
