Religião e educação no Brasil: o programa “Escola sem Partido” como um obstáculo ao Ensino Religioso e à formação cidadã
Authors: Souza Andréa Silveira de
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma análise do projeto de lei que institui o programa Escola sem Partido (PL 246/2019), no intuito de indicar como e porque tal projeto se constitui um obstáculo para a ação pedagógica no âmbito do componente curricular Ensino Religioso na escola básica, consolidando-se assim um entrave para a formação integral conforme estabelecido pela Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação. Para tal análise, mobilizamos categorias do campo do direito internacional, como decisões da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e o Protocolo de San Salvador, assim como categorias e referenciais teóricos do campo da Ciência da Religião. Primeiramente, procuramos examinar em que medida a Convenção Americana de Direitos Humanos — referenciada no projeto como um argumento central em defesa do direito dos pais de que seus filhos recebam na escola a formação religiosa e moral conforme àquela cultivada por suas famílias no âmbito privado — provê juridicamente os princípios do PL246/2019. Em um segundo momento, abordamos a noção de religião que subjaz ao projeto e os impedimentos decorrentes de uma perspectiva da religião restrita à crença e à prática, desprezando sua dimensão cultural. Nesse sentido, procuramos apontar como a referida compreensão de religião induz a um entendimento fragmentado e equivocada da Convenção, o que além de colocar em xeque direitos humanos fundamentais, coloca em suspenso também preceitos basilares da educação no Brasil.
A formação humana na Educação Superior: abordagem onto-antropológica e teológica de Edith Stein
Authors: Peretti Clélia , Dullius Vera Fátima
Published: October 2020

O artigo reflete sobre o atual contexto da Educação Superior e seus desafios na formação de novos perfis de docentes. Optamos por indagar fenomenologicamente a formação docente em uma instituição confessional a fim de perceber, na pulsão das vivências dos estudantes, o lugar que a formação humana e da consciência ocupa na trajetória acadêmica. Seguindo essa pista e dialogando com profissionais e estudantes percebemos a necessidade de um maior aprofundamento dos pressupostos antropológico-filosóficos da educação. A partir disso, fizemos um contraponto entre o modelo reducionista e o complexo, fundamentando as concepções de conhecimento e educação no diálogo entre dois grandes pensadores: Edith Stein (1981-1942) e Edgar Morin (1921-).  Os resultados revelam a necessidade de um diálogo multi e transdisciplinar nos programas de formação docente, bem como a necessidade de pensar a formação humana a partir do paradigma da complexidade, interligando saberes que fomentem a reforma do pensamento. A formação humano-integral requer projetos que incluam todas as dimensões do ser humano. Desse modo, o ato educativo, ensino e aprendizagem, assume proporções que ultrapassam a experiência de sala de aula e perduram em sua formação. A reflexão realizada fez emergir com maior clareza os desafios de nosso tempo: um pensar rigoroso sobre o “humano” e sua formação em uma perspectiva onto-antropológica que tenha como base uma visão de mundo, de ser humano e de transcendência comprometidos com valores pautados na ideia de “casa comum”.
Cuidado e conhecimento: formação humana e relação dialógica em ambientes educacionais
Authors: Panasiewicz Roberlei
Published: October 2020

O processo educacional atual enfrenta desafios variados, pois lida com relações e inteligências múltiplas. A educação escolar participa destes desafios. Como educar para a tolerância e para a responsabilidade social, tendo em vista a construção da cultura de paz, do respeito e do cuidado com o diferente? Como a disciplina de Ensino Religioso pode participar ativamente deste processo de formação humana? Este estudo faz parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre tolerância e promoção da cultura de paz em algumas escolas públicas de Ensino Fundamental da periferia da cidade de Belo Horizonte/MG; e, baseada na investigação bibliográfica e observacional, visa pensar uma ação pedagógica com foco dialógico. Denominamos de “pedagogia do cuidado e do conhecimento”, pois afeto e saberes devem coexistir no ambiente escolar para estimular relações construtivas. Esta reflexão objetiva apresentar resultados desta pesquisa e propor o cuidado nas relações interpessoais, para que a escola atinja índices de qualidade desejáveis, tanto no nível intelectual quanto emocional. Relações dialógicas são construídas na valorização do humano e por isto permanecem. O exercício do diálogo inter-religioso no ambiente escolar pode ser oportunidade e treinamento de construções dialógicas, tanto ao participar de projetos escolares quanto ao serem praticados no interior da sala de aula.

Adaptation, Transformation, and Development
Authors: Thompson Allen ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: October 2020

It is widely accepted that we must adapt to climate change. But we sit on the edge of radical, unprecedented, and rapid anthropogenic environmental changes that are driven by many factors in addition to greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, we occupy a unique and precarious position in the history of our species. Many basic conditions of life on Earth are changing at an alarming rate and thus we should begin to transform and broaden our thinking about adaptation. The conceptual history of climate adaptation intersects with conceptions of human development and sustainability, which provides a framework for adaptation in how we think about human flourishing and, subsequently, what it is to be human in the Anthropocene. If sustainability is about maintaining human welfare across generations but we acknowledge that climate change may undercut our ability to deliver as much and as good total or natural capital to subsequent generations, we have a residual duty to otherwise positively affect the welfare of future generations. A subjective, preference-based conception of human welfare is compared to an objective, capabilities-based approach and, while some adaptive preferences are unavoidable, embracing an objective theory of human flourishing provides a superior approach for meeting the residual duty we have to future generations by beginning the process of adapting our conception of human natural goodness, or what it is to be a good human being.
Transforming Genius into Practical Power
Authors: Powell Russell C. ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: October 2020

John Muir can be interpreted to have employed a similar strategy in his earliest conservation advocacy writings as the strategy Ralph Waldo Emerson employed to overcome the public futility of his personal ideals. Like Emerson, Muir came to offset the despair he felt at the political impotence of his conscience with a positive outlook on his potential to embody his subjective ideals both in his personal character and in his contributions to concrete forms of social practice. Muir thus can be shown to have standing in the environmental virtue ethics tradition by dint of his appreciation for the necessity of virtuous political participation in movements for social reform.
Gorillas in the Midst (of a Moral Conundrum)
Authors: Bein Steve , McRae James ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: October 2020

In 2016, a Cincinnati Zoo worker shot and killed a Western lowland gorilla to protect a three-year-old boy who had fallen into the animal’s enclosure. This incident involves a variant of the classical trolley problem, one in which the death of a human being on the main track might be avoided by selecting an alternate track containing a member of an endangered species. This problem raises two important questions for environmental ethics. First, what, if anything, imbues a human child with greater value than a member of a critically endangered species? Second, is it ethical for zoos to house species such as gorillas? With regard to the first question, at a minimum, it is not obvious whether a human child or a gorilla has the greater value (i.e., that whatever evaluation one wishes to make, it requires an argument beyond simple speciesism). With regard to the second question, an appeal can be made to Japanese environmental philosophy, particularly the ethical paradigm of kyōsei (symbiosis) and the aesthetics of Yuriko Saitō. Members of endangered species have intrinsic value, which entails human obligations to protect the species as a whole and minimize harm to its specimens.
Apport de la bioacoustique à la systématique des oiseaux chanteurs : discussion à partir d’exemples chez les grimpereaux, merles dyals et gobemouches
Authors: COMOLET-TIRMAN Jacques
Published: October 2020

Cet article fait le point sur les possibilités d’utilisation des critères acoustiques en taxonomie des passereaux, en complément des critères morphologiques et moléculaires. Le premier exemple fait référence au Grimpereau des bois Certhia familiaris Linnaeus, 1758 et au Grimpereau des jardins Certhia brachydactyla C. L. Brehm, 1820, deux espèces distinguées de longue date mais dont les caractéristiques vocales ont récemment été quantifiées selon une approche standardisée basée sur la statistique d de Cohen. Un deuxième exemple est consacré au Merle dyal des Philippines Copsychus mindanensis (Boddaert, 1783) récemment séparé du Merle dyal Copsychus saularis (Linnaeus, 1758) sur la base de divers critères parmi lesquels les différences de vocalisations. Le troisième exemple détaille les études en cours sur le Gobemouche gris Muscicapa striata (Pallas, 1764) ainsi que les formes de gobemouches insulaires tyrrhenica et balearica considérées précédemment comme ses sous-espèces sous les noms M. striata tyrrhenica Schiebel, 1910 et M. striata balearica von Jordans, 1913 et dont la taxonomie fait encore l’objet de débats : l’auteur tente d’évaluer les différences vocales entre ces trois taxons selon la même approche standardisée. Les chants nuptiaux et territoriaux ont été analysés séparément. Parmi les résultats, les différences entre striata et tyrrhenica sont qualifiées d’exceptionnelles pour au moins deux caractères.
Hybrid regimes of the Western Balkans: Reflection of a global geopolitical struggle
Authors: Anđelić Neven
Published: October 2020

The new global order has yet to be fully established. The process reflects not only a geopolitical struggle but also a set of competitive political models. While it is possible to determine more than two dominant models, it is a contest between the two forms of democracy - liberal and illiberal. A one-party state, or a Chinese model, is an economic model used for geopolitical purposes while Muslim political model, strongly contested within the Muslim world, is restricted to areas dominated by the population of this faith. Some of its forms are reflected in the form of authoritarianism as developed in Turkey. The faith, therefore, is of lesser significance. The regimes in the Western Balkans have been developed and are based on two models of democracy. The resulting hybrid regimes are analysed in the global context of the powerstruggle and ideological contest. The question is whether the hybrid regimes of the Western Balkans are the result of dysfunctional local democracy or whether the search for global stability is resulting in a model of competitive authoritarianism which provides for global security but also supports the regime's desire to remain unchanged in perpetuity? This development might be supportive of international security but is an utterly destabilising factor for societies in the Western Balkans and a substantial obstacle to the development of liberal democracy.
The vicious circle of corrosive capital, authoritarian tendencies and state capture in the Western Balkans
Authors: Prelec Tena
Published: October 2020

The presence of 'non-Western actors' in the Western Balkans has recently attracted the attention of policy-makers and academics alike, with the rise in prominence of non-EU countries coinciding with the weakening power of accession conditionality. While this trend was initially discussed in the context of a 'new Cold War' narrative, evidence-based research soon showed that this engagement is underpinned by particularistic interests at the top and 'corrosive capital'. The governance dimension is therefore essential in understanding the ties existing between the Balkan countries and the non-Western actors. Making use of primary and secondary data, this article compares the modus operandi of two non-EU actors in the region: Russia and the United Arab Emirates. It is argued that non-transparent business deals can stimulate a normative shift in the Western Balkans' political leadership away from pursuing the rule of law, and towards an authoritarian turn, while strengthening small circles of self-serving elites, at the expense of the citizenry at large. This is conceptualised as a 'vicious circle' of illiberalism and state capture, as viewed through the lens of corrosive capital.
Metodologia para detecção de áreas socioambientalmente vulneráveis: o caso do distrito do Campeche, no município de Florianópolis – SC, Brasil
Authors: Schmidt Longo Eduardo , Valença Dantas David
Published: October 2020

A sociedade contemporânea lida constantemente com questões intensas de mudanças climáticas e influências destas em diversas partes do planeta, com diversos reflexos nas regiões costeiras. Minimizar os impactos ambientais e efeitos no ecossistema em áreas zoneadas conceitualmente opostas, então sobrepostas ou limitantes geograficamente, é um desafio para o poder público, seja pelo prisma do planejador, da gestão do território, entre outros agentes do espaço geográfico. É urgente que mecanismos para otimização da identificação dessas áreas sejam pesquisados e promovidos, uma vez que os desdobramentos da passividade desses equívocos ou falhas entre zoneamentos territoriais podem incidir em impactos socioambientais e socioeconômicos incomensuráveis aos atores locais. Esta pesquisa abordará, portanto, um método para a identificação de áreas potenciais de riscos de conflitos socioambientais, alicerçado por técnicas de geoprocessamento, como a análise espacial. O método proposto foi aplicado no distrito do Campeche (Florianópolis – SC), lugar passivo dessas discussões e influenciado (in)diretamente por mudanças climáticas e discussões ambientais.

A alface é considerada a hortaliça folhosa mais importante no Brasil. A produção em casa de vegetação ou ambiente protegido, utilizando substrato, chamado também de cultivo sem solo, vem ganhando destaque, no cenário mundial, devido a necessidade de conservação do solo. Desta forma, a busca por materiais alternativos para compor substratos é necessária e relevante, devendo levar em conta a aptidão agroindustrial de cada região com a finalidade de permitir o aproveitamento de resíduos que estão disponíveis abundantemente e a redução dos custos de produção. O objetivo de avaliar resíduos industriais utilizados como substratos, e seus efeitos no desenvolvimento e produção da alface cultivada em ambiente protegido. Esse experimento foi desenvolvido na Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia, campus de Paragominas, na área experimental de Horticultura. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualisados com quatro tratamentos (palha de arroz, resíduo de soja, mistura= palha de arroz (35%) + resíduo de soja (35%) + areia preta (30%) e areia preta como testemunha). Foram avaliadas as seguintes características: número de folhas, Peso (kg), Peso raiz (g), ciclo, comprimento do caule (cm), produtividade econômica (kg), área foliar (AR) (cm2), índice de área foliar (IAF), Razão de Área Foliar (RAF) (cm2 g-1), área foliar específica (AFE) (cm2 g-1), razão de peso das folhas (RPF), quantidade de água na parte aérea (QAPA), peso específico foliar (PEF) (g cm2). Todos os dados obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente através da análise de variância, com teste F. Realizou-se o teste de Tukey (5%) para a comparação de médias. O melhor substrato para produção de alface, sem solo, em casa de vegetação, é o resíduo de soja, pois nesse substrato a cultivar veneranda apresentou a maior produtividade e os melhores índices morfofisiológicos, demostrando a possibilidade da utilização desse resíduo industrial, como substrato alternativo.
Benefits of introducing Picture books through ICTs in Bilingual Settings: An example with Cuadernia and Press Here by Herve Tullet.
Authors: Carrión Candel Elena , Pérez Agustín Mercedes , Matilde Barrios Vicente Isabel , Aparicio Molina Yannelys
Published: October 2020

Picture books which were implemented through Wanga Gag’s Millions of Cats have been proven to be an excellent resource because images opposed to words have a leading role. This resource also becomes a perfect ally for digital natives who are appealed to images and with the use of ICT tools turns it into a more appealing and engaging experience.The picture book titled Press Here by Herve Tullet has been used to work the 4Cs of CLIL (Content, Culture, Communication and Cognition) through non-linguistic subjects (Art, Math and Music). Cuadernia due to its flexibility and easiness it is the most suitable ICT tool to introduce a picture book through CLIL methodology at early stages. Different tasks to work Art like the result of mixing primary colors or a video to consolidate the shape of a circle help students to activate their prior knowledge in a visual way. Math was also introduced through Cuadernia with the aim to learn counting until 5 through bottle caps and associated to colors. Lastly, Music together with the shape of the circles was displayed showing finger paint. For all the previously stated ideas, it is highly recommended to use a software like Cuadernia to work any picture book through bilingual methodology because it will broaden students’ knowledge and allow them to practice in a more dynamic and attractive environment.
MOBILE LEARNING EN LAS ARTES VISUALES. UN ACERCAMIENTO A LAS EXPERIENCIAS EDUCATIVAS ARTÍSTICAS CON SMARTPHONES EN LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS.
Authors: Mascarell Palau Salvador David
Published: October 2020

La presente aportación hace una referencia inicial a aspectos teóricos sobre la relevancia del aprendizaje en movilidad como alternativa para el aprendizaje mediante imágenes. Adentrándonos en el tema, exponemos una revisión de experiencias educativas incipientes, desarrolladas en la última década, sobre el uso de dispositivos móviles en las artes visuales, concretamente con teléfonos móviles. Se trata de un momento ciertamente árido en cuanto a publicaciones científicas que supongan aportaciones al binomio artes y Mobile Learning. Entorno al año 2006, emerge tímidamente alguna actividad de carácter informal en España, y en 2007 los diarios digitales de Argentina registran también alguna experiencia. Las actividades puestas en práctica tratan de enfatizar de qué manera los teléfonos móviles pueden ser unos buenos aliados para el aprendizaje de ciertos contenidos artísticos. Paulatinamente, se van promoviendo escenarios donde los dispositivos móviles adquieren creciente protagonismo, como es el caso de la educación patrimonial. Se sigue trabajando bajo la perspectiva informal y se introducen las primeras experiencias en ámbitos formales. El interés comienza a alcanzar publicaciones en artículos de revistas, libros y blogs, conferencias científicas, etc. En la actualidad la literatura al respecto se ha incrementado con notoriedad. Informes como el Horizon 2019, que en sus últimas ediciones aborda las tendencias a corto o largo plazo en la educación del siglo XXI con TIC. En el presente estudio, se ha hecho uso de la metodología basada en el análisis de contenido a partir de las publicaciones halladas, para su descripción e interpretación.
Autonomía y diálogo durante la creación: un estudio cualitativo sobre las experiencias de creación en danza de un grupo de estudiantes de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú
Authors: Castillo Palpán Silvana Mía , Ginocchio Castro Lucía
Published: October 2020

A pesar de que la actividad central de la danza contemporánea sea la creación, no existe una forma única establecida para crear. Esto trae consigo la dificultad de enseñar a crear en danza. Situándonos en esta problemática, la presente investigación tuvo como propósito explorar y describir las experiencias, en los procesos de creación, de un grupo de alumnos de la especialidad de Danza de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). Para el recojo de información se realizó entrevistas semiestructuradas a once estudiantes de último año de carrera sobre los procesos creativos de los que fueron parte a lo largo de su formación en danza. A partir del acercamiento a las experiencias en creación e los estudiantes, a modo de resultados, se identificaron tres factores que influyen en la vivencia de dichas experiencias: el grado de autonomía que tienen los estudiantes para la creación de piezas, el tipo de relaciones que establecen con sus profesores/directores, que varía según dicho grado de autonomía, y la comunicación que se establece entre los participantes del proceso creativo.Palabras clave:

Evaluation of Montenegrin Seafarer's Awareness of Cyber Security
Authors: Mraković Ivan , Vojinović Ranko
Published: October 2020

Topics on maritime cyber security have undoubtedly been attracting great public attention in recent days. The reasons are rapidly evolving computing technologies and digitalization in maritime sector. A successful cyber-attack may have catastrophic consequences and a harmful impact on people, properties or marine environment. In addition to numerous factors that pave the way for a successful cyber-attack on ships, human errors are also in the limelight as they are notorious sources of cyber-attacks today. In this research paper, the authors examine Montenegrin seafarers’ level of familiarisation with current cyber-security risks by conducting a structured survey questionnaire. After thoroughly analysing the collected answers, the authors realise that the respondents have an insufficient level of cyber-security knowledge and awareness. Lastly, using the quantitative risk assessment method, the authors propose the best practices for maritime cyber security in the form of implementation of mandatory training course.
Correlation Between Strong Wind and Leisure Craft Grounding in Croatian Waters
Authors: Toman Ivan , Mohović Đani , Barić Mate , Mohović Robert
Published: October 2020

This paper examines the correlation between strong wind and the frequency of small leisure craft grounding by analysing the available data on maritime accidents in the Adriatic. The primary goal of this study was to verify the hypothesis from prior research that strong wind is the prime cause of groundings in certain areas of the Adriatic. Contrary to the conclusions of the prior research, the new analysis indicates a far more uniform spatial distribution of wind-caused grounding accidents across all the examined areas of Croatian Adriatic waters. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that most grounding accidents occur in light wind conditions, suggesting that groundings can predominantly be attributed to factors other than strong wind. Several important drawbacks of the analysis stemming from the lack of accurate data on accidents in Croatian waters are discussed and suggestions given for the improved collection thereof that would greatly contribute to the future research on this topic. The inability to determine the exact causes of particular accidents from available data makes it impossible to accurately establish the number of grounding accidents caused by strong wind. In the future, more detailed statistical data could improve our understanding of the correlation between adverse weather conditions and recreational vessel accidents in the Adriatic.

To the question on the effectiveness of individual investment accounts in the Russian Federation
Authors: Belomyttseva Olga Svyatoslavovna
Published: October 2020

  The subject of this research is the effectiveness of individual investment accounts in the Russian Federation. The author analyzes the quarterly statistical data that reflect the dynamics funds of the citizens on individual investment accounts for the period from 2015 to 2019. The data on investments of the citizens in equities and corporate bonds is outlined. The advances the three hypotheses: that it is possible to establish the cost of attracting citizens' investments in equities through individual investment accounts from the perspective of the state; that B-type accounts are unpopular/ineffective; that it is necessary to reform the system of individual investment accounts. It is noted that unlike foreign countries, especially the United States, there is no research on the effectiveness of individual investment accounts in the Russian Federation. The author formulates the possible microeconomic and macroeconomic effects from implementation of individual investment accounts, including the increase in citizens ' savings and tax revenues, reduction of national debt, etc. The options for assessing the effectiveness of individual investment accounts are described. Calculation was conducted on the cost for attracting citizens’ savings within the framework of individual investment accounts from the perspective of the state based on the results of 2015-2018. Ineffectiveness of the B-type accounts and its causes are underlined. The flaws of individual investment accounts in the Russian Federation are identified. It is suggested to use individual investment accounts namely for stimulating citizens to invest in corporate securities, excluding the state and municipal securities from investment mechanisms in the context of individual investment accounts. The directions for future research are formulated.  
The problems of taxation of income of private and legal entities from operations with digital financial assets
Authors: Razdorozhnyi Konstantin Borisovich
Published: October 2020

The subject of this research is the problems of taxation of income from operations with digital financial assets. It is a known fact that the Institution of financial legal regulation of circulation of the digital financial assets is in the process of establishment; thus, there are yet no legislative norms on taxes and fees in this sphere of public relations, and the only reference point for taxpayers is the information letters from competent authorities and doctrinal sources. Among the relevant problems of taxation in this field, the author underlines the absence of an official position regarding the taxation of such operations with the value added tax (VAT), as well as the absence of the established procedures for documented proof of income and spending within the framework of circulation of digital financial assets. The main conclusion consists in the thesis that the existing in the Russian Federation system of taxes and fees can be implemented institutionally in the indicated sphere of public relations. The author also notes that the solution of these problems requires introduction of isolated amendments to tax legislation, among which is the inclusion of operations that are not subject to VAT in accordance with the Article 149 of the Taxation Code of the Russian Federation, as well as transactions with financial digital assets and digital currencies. Particular attention is turned to the need for elaboration of departmental instructions that would establish accounting rules for transactions with digital financial assets. Within the framework of this article, the author analyzes the foreign methods of documented proof of income and spending that can also be applied in Russian business practice.
Conservation genomics and pollination biology of an endangered, edaphic-endemic, octoploid herb: El Dorado bedstraw (Galium californicumsubsp.sierrae; Rubiaceae)
Authors: Burge Dylan
Published: October 2020

El Dorado bedstraw (Galium californicumsubsp.sierrae) is a federally endangered dioecious, octoploid, perennial herb found only in the Pine Hill region of El Dorado County, CA, USA. Like many species ofGalium, El Dorado bedstraw is capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction, spreading via stem-layering as well as seeds. El Dorado bedstraw is also dioecious, and thus dependent on pollinators to transfer pollen from male to female stems. The capacity for asexual reproduction has conservation implications for this plant, due to the potential for populations to become dominated by a small number of clones in the absence of recruitment from seeds. No previous work has examined either the population genetics or pollination biology of this plant. Here, double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing was used to develop a genetic dataset for a sample of El Dorado bedstraw (12 individuals from each of seven locations). Genomic data was used to calculate population genetic statistics and quantify the degree to which clonality affects the sampled populations. Visual observation of insect visitors at every sampling location was used to assess the potential for pollen transfer within and among locations. A total of 23 clonal colonies were detected across 82 successfully sequenced stems, consisting of an average of 2.4 individuals (range: 2–6). Significant isolation by distance among locations was detected using a Mantel test. Insect pollinators were from eleven families, consisting mainly of small species with weak flight. It is recommended that clonality and small-scale population differentiation be taken into account in conservation measures.
Involvement of autophagy in realgar quantum dots (RQDs) inhibition of human endometrial cancer JEC cells
Authors: Liu Zhengyun , Xu Ke , Xu Yan , Zhang Wanling , Jiang Nian , Wang Shengyu , Luo Guo , Liu Jie , Wu Jinzhu , Wang Huan
Published: October 2020

Realgar (As4S4) has been used in traditional Chinese medicines for treatment of malignancies. The poor solubility of As4S4 hampered its clinical applications. Realgar quantum dots (RQDs) were developed to overcome these problems. Previous studies revealed that the RQDs were effective against endometrial cancer JEC cells and hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells via inducing apoptosis.Apoptosis and autophagy are important programmed cell death pathways leading to anticancer effects. This study further examined effects of RQDs on autophagy, focusing on the formation of the autophagosome in JEC cells. CCK8 assay was used to examine cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine the autophagy, cells were transfected with pEGFP-C3-MAP1LC3B plasmid to examine effects of RQDs on autophagosome via confocal microscope. Autophagy-related proteins were examined by Western blot. RQDs exhibited cytotoxicity in JEC cells in a concentration- and time- dependent manner. RQDs induced G2 and S phase arrest in JEC cells. RQDs significantly induced autophagy, with the double-membrane and autophagosome-like structures by TEM. The diffused distribution of pEGFP-C3-MAP1LC3B green fluorescence were become the punctuate pattern fluorescence after treatment with RQDs in cells transfected with pEGFP-C3-MAP1LC3B plasmid RQDs increased the expression of autophagyregulatory proteins LC3 I/II, Beclin-1, p62 and Atg12 in a concentration-dependent manner, similar to autophagy induced by serum starvation, except for p62, as induction of p62 is a characteristic of arsenic compounds. Taken together, the present study clearly demonstrated that RQDs can induce autophagy in JEC cells as one of mechanisms of anticancer effects, and indicated that RQDs may be developed as an autophagy inducer.
Localização e especialização nas mesorregiões do Paraná: uma abordagem teórico-empírica
Authors: Silva Rodrigo Monteiro da , Vieira Cristiele De Almeida
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar a economia regional do estado do Paraná a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica e da aplicação de indicadores de especialização e localização para os anos de 2010 e 2017. O principal objetivo foi verificar a localização e especialização dos principais setores econômicos no Paraná e possíveis mudanças setoriais e mesorregiões no período. Para tanto foram calculados, a partir de dados fornecidos pela Relação Anual de Informações Sociais, cinco indicadores: quociente locacional, coeficiente de localização, coeficiente de redistribuição, coeficiente de reestruturação e coeficiente de especialização. Os resultados apontaram que o setor de extração mineral está localizado, principalmente, nas mesorregiões: RMC, Norte Pioneiro e Sudoeste; construção civil: RMC e Centro Sul; indústria, no Noroeste; agropecuária e afins, no Norte Pioneiro; comércio e serviços possuem uma distribuição homogênea pelo estado. Ao se analisar transformações regionais e setoriais nas mesorregiões paranaenses ocorridas ao longo do período, estas não se mostraram significativas, indicando a inexistência de alterações no padrão de distribuição e especialização nos setores e mesorregiões do estado.
Migração e seleção no mercado de trabalho cearense
Authors: Queiroz Silvana Nunes de , Baeninger Rosana
Published: October 2020

Este estudo objetiva identificar a seletividade entre o migrante interestadual de retorno inserido no mercado de trabalho cearense vis-à-vis o migrante não natural e o não migrante. A hipótese é que o migrante retornado traz consigo experiências pregressas de trabalho em outros estados que o distingue positivamente daqueles que nunca emigraram do Ceará, mas negativamente em relação aos não nascidos no estado e ingressados no mercado de trabalho local. Com base nos microdados dos Censos Demográficos de 1991, 2000 e 2010, e através de estatísticas descritivas, analisamos e comparamos as características diretamente observáveis (ocupacionais e rendimento) entre a população retornada, não migrante e não natural ocupada no trabalho principal. Os principais resultados mostram que o migrante de retorno aufere, em média, maiores proventos comparativamente aos não migrantes, mas valores, em média, inferiores aos não naturais, sugerindo seleção positiva para o retornado quando comparado àqueles que nunca emigraram, e negativa em relação aos não nascidos no Ceará. Conclui-se que a chegada de migrantes (retornados e não naturais) positivamente selecionados é um ganho, através da transferência de conhecimento e aumento na renda cearense.

Dairy in Kenya is a major source of employment, with smallholders contributing more than 70 percent of gross marketed milk production. Dairy marketing is dominated by the informal sector where raw milk is sold directly to consumers, suggesting low use of technical know-how to improve production as well as quality and safety of milk. The study therefore was conducted to understand the level of information on dairy, as well as determine factors influencing the awareness of dairy standards among smallholder dairy farmers in Meru and Uasin Gishu counties in Kenya.  A random sample of 273 households was selected and personal interviews conducted. Data were entered and analysed by use of the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (version 20). Descriptive statistics by use of percentages, and a logistic regression model were used to analyse data. The results depict a low level of information on quality and safety of milk, and the regulatory institutions in Kenya had limited influence on improved milk production, quality and safety. Farmers with marketing contracts, those with an upgraded value chain were more likely to access information, while older farmers were less likely to access the information. In order to increase complicity with the regulations, regulatory institutions should increase awareness on the potential benefits of adhering to dairy standards. Farmers should be registered and enter contracts with buyers, and older farmers targeted to provide information. Research and development organisations should make farmers aware so that farmers can demand for information and lobby for services from government institutions.

Published: October 2020

Aim: To investigate the use of Parkia biglobosa leaves as a source of organic nutrients for maize production.

Place and Duration of Study: The field experiment was carried out at the research field of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Lagos State Field Office, Nigeria during the early planting season (March/April) of 2018.

Methodology: A field research was carried out to compare the growth and yield of maize when Parkia biglobosa leaves and inorganic fertilizer were used as nutrients sources. Four factorial treatments combinations of Parkia biglobosa leaves, NPK fertilizer, combined Parkia biglobosa leaves and NPK fertilizer, and a control experiment was ordered in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates. The plants height, number of leaves and surface areas were recorded at 3, 6 and 9 weeks after planting while the maize yields were considered at the end of the experiment.

Results: The study showed that the treatment with the combination of Parkia biglobosa leaves and inorganic fertilizer produced the highest indexes of plant tallness, foliage number and surface areas.  Maize yields of 2816.66, 2700, 2316.66 and 1566.66 kg/ha were recorded from treatments with Parkia biglobosa leaves and inorganic fertilizer combination, inorganic fertilizer, Parkia biglobosa leaves and the control experiment, respectively.

Conclusion: These results reflected that the incorporated effect of Parkia biglobosa leaves and inorganic fertilizer at the rate of 50:50 gives the best maize growth and yield index.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: In spite of all the measures introduced to fight the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Nigeria by relevant authorities, it is still ravaging the country. This calls for the commitment and responsibility of the citizens in their adherence to all the control measures and guidelines, whose effectiveness is dependent on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). This study investigated the KAP of clients who attended primary healthcare facilities (PHFs) in Rivers State, Nigeria over the period 16th to 20th June 2020. 

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving the clients seeking care at the           public primary healthcare facilities in the 23 local government areas (LGAs) of Rivers State,         Nigeria as respondents. Using descriptive analysis, the results for each of the quantitative variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation, whilst those for the categorical variables were reported as frequency and percentage.  The association between the responses on KAP and demographic characteristics were tested using the Chi-square test. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with KAP and statistical significance was assessed at P<0.05.

Results: Out of 460 questionnaires distributed, 434 respondents participated in the survey, revealing a 94.3% response rate. The proportion of respondents with moderate and above scores in knowledge, attitude, and COVID-19 related practices are 86.6% (62.9+23.7), 80.6% (57.6+23.0), and 58.0% (30.8+27.2) respectively. Occupation, educational level, and senatorial districts are associated with knowledge and attitude, whilst age and senatorial districts are associated with the level of adherence to preventive practices; knowledge level also has associations with both attitude and practices towards COVID-19.

Conclusion: On the basis of these findings, we suggest public health education programs on COVID-19 should target individuals with low knowledge levels, lower educational attainment, and those residing in the Rivers South-East senatorial zone in the promotion of their messages on COVID-19.

Published: October 2020

Kleptomania is a disabling impulse control disorder, that can be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This was achieved through the results of a case study. The presenting case is 20-year-old college student. The complaint at the first interview was that she was stealing from others during childhood, with other symptoms matching DSM-5 for diagnosis of kleptomania.

Study aims to use of CBT techniques to treat of kleptomania, with the application of psychological analysis theory techniques.

Used of the clinical interview, thematic apperception test (TAT) and neuroticism trait from big five personality traits. With these measurements was determined causes and level of the disorder, in addition behavior motivated and neuroticism trait.

Through the application of techniques and strategies of CBT and psychological analysis                    theory techniques the patient was treated for kleptomania symptoms and neuroticism trait (anxiety, anger, hostility, depression, consciousness-self, impulsiveness, stress and vulnerability). After treatment, the patient regained the ability to self-control, control of negative thoughts, and emotional stability.

The study recommends for avoid harsh punishment, the Importance of using the right methods of education with children and adolescents, especially the child talented. In addition to the importance of dealing with the kleptomania as a disease and not a crime. With the possibility using of projective tests and some psychological analysis techniques with CBT.

Published: October 2020

Electronic textiles and functional fabrics are among the key constituents envisioned for wearable electronics applications. For e‐textiles, the challenge is to process materials of desired electronic properties such as piezoelectricity into fibers to be integrated as wefts or wraps in the fabrics. Nylons, first introduced in the 1940s for stockings, are among the most widely used synthetic fibers in textiles. However, realization of nylon‐based e‐textiles has remained elusive due to the difficulty of achieving the piezoelectric phase in the nylon fibers. Here, piezoelectric nylon‐11 fibers are demonstrated and it is shown that the resulting fibers are viable for applications in energy harvesting from low frequency mechanical vibrations and in motion sensors. A simulation study is presented that elucidates on the sensitivity of the nylon‐11 fibers toward external mechanical stimuli. Moreover, a strategy is proposed and validated to significantly boost the electrical performance of the fibers. Since a large fraction of the textile industry is based on nylon fibers, the demonstration of piezoelectric nylon fibers will be a major step toward realization of electronic textiles for applications in apparels, health monitoring, sportswear, and portable energy generation.

Two donor–acceptor (D–A) polymers are obtained by coupling difluoro‐ and dichloro‐substituted forms of the electron‐deficient unit BDOPV and the relatively weak donor moiety dichlorodithienylethene (ClTVT). The conductivity and power factors of doped devices are different for the chlorinated and fluorinated BDOPV polymers. A high electron conductivity of 38.3 and 16.1 S cm−1 are obtained from the chlorinated and fluorinated polymers with N‐DMBI, respectively, and 12.4 and 2.4 S cm−1 are obtained from the chlorinated and fluorinated polymers with CoCp2, respectively, from drop‐cast devices. The corresponding power factors are 22.7, 7.6, 39.5, and 8.0 µW m−1 K−2, respectively. Doping of PClClTVT with N‐DMBI results in excellent air stability; the electron conductivity of devices with 50 mol% N‐DMBI as dopant remained up to 4.9 S m−1 after 222 days in the air, the longest for an n‐doped polymer stored in air, with a thermoelectric power factor of 9.3 µW m−1 K−2. However, the conductivity of PFClTVT‐based devices can hardly be measured after 103 days. These observations are consistent with morphologies determined by grazing incidence wide angle X‐ray scattering and atomic force microscopy.
