Petrographic analysis on prehistoric-protohistoric pottery of Northern coastal sites of central java: “early studies of environmental archaeology”.
Authors: Kasnowihardjo Gunadi
Published: April 2018

AbstractPottery or often called gerabah is one of the results of technology that developed in the neolithic period, until now some people in Central Java in general and in the northern coast of Rembang regency in particular still found pottery craftsmen, one of them is in Balong Mulyo Village, Kragan District, Regency of Rembang. To get raw materials such as clay and sand, Balong Mulyo pottery craftsmen apparently make use of natural resources in their environment. As one artifact made from clay and sand materials, petrographically pottery can be analyzed type content and mineral percentage. The results of an analysis of petrographic samples of pottery fragments from prehistoric-protohistoric sites in the northern coast of Central Java such as Binangun, Leran, Plawangan and Tanjungan sites, have in common with the pottery samples from Balong Mulyo. This is one of the benefits of applying petrographic studies in archaeological research. In addition, the results of this petrographic study can provide an explanation that prehistoric-protohistoric humans in the northern coastal area of Central Java to meet their daily needs have utilized the natural resources of their environment, one of which is in pottery technology.Keywords: Pottery, Neolithic, Petrographic analysis, Raw material, Environment. Abstrak            Tembikar atau sering disebut gerabah adalah salah satu hasil teknologi yang berkembang pada masa neolitik, hingga sekarang sebagian masyarakat di Jawa Tengah umumnya dan di daerah pantai utara Kabupaten Rembang khususnya masih ditemukan pengrajin tembikar, salah satu di antaranya adalah di Desa Balong Mulyo, Kecamatan Kragan, Kabupaten Rembang. Untuk mendapatkan bahan baku seperti tanah liat dan pasir, para pengrajin tembikar Balong Mulyo rupa-rupanya memanfaatkan sumberdaya alam di lingkungan mereka. Sebagai salah satu artefak yang dibuat dari bahan baku tanah liat dan pasir, secara petrografis tembikar dapat dianalisis kandungan jenis dan prosentasi mineralnya. Hasil analisis petrografi sampel fragmen tembikar dari situs-situs prasejarah-protosejarah di kawasan pantai utara Jawa Tengah seperti Situs Binangun, Leran, Plawangan, dan Tanjungan, secara garis besar memiliki kesamaan dengan sampel tembikar dari Balong Mulyo. Inilah salah satu manfaat penerapan kajian petrografi dalam penelitian arkeologi. Selain itu, hasil kajian petrografi ini dapat memberikan penjelasan bahwa manusia prasejarah-protosejarah di kawasan pantai utara Jawa Tengah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari mereka telah memanfaatkan sumberdaya alam lingkungannya, salah satu di antaranya adalah dalam teknologi pembuatan tembikar.Kata Kunci:  Tembikar, Neolitik, Analisis petrografi, Bahan baku, Lingkungan

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNFIs) increase the risk of tuberculosis (TB). The aim of this study was to evaluate pediatric patients who are under TNFIs regarding the emergence of TB, and to determine the effectiveness of screening methods. This was a retrospective observational study of 73 patients receiving TNFIs therapy for at least 6 months duration between January 2011 and January 2016. Detailed demographic and clinical data were gathered from patients` files. Seventy-three patients (female n=41, 56.2%) with a median age of 129 (38-215) months were enrolled. Median follow-up period was 18 (6-60) months. Median duration of primary illness prior to TNFI therapy was 24 (2-184) months. Sixteen patients (21.9%) with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) were given isoniazid (INH) prior to TNFI therapy. TNFIs were adalimumab (n=39, 53.5%), infliximab (n=22, 30.1%) and etanercept (n=12, 16.4%). During follow-up, 16 patients (21.9%) were started on INH treatment. Median time of starting INH was 20 (4-42) months. One patient (3.1%) who received INH had elevated liver transaminases. One patient (1.3%) developed active TB during follow-up. In conclusion, patients who are candidates for TNFI treatment should be screened for TB before and during therapy.

Published: April 2018

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common pathogen responsible for pulmonary infections and the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with particularly B cell immunodeficiencies. Antibody production is the principal protective immune response against S. pneumoniae and measurement of the production of antipolysaccharide antibodies is important in the evaluation of B cell deficiencies. We quantified serotype-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies against seven common pneumococcal serotypes before and three weeks after unconjugated vaccine in 416 patients with recurrent respiratory tract infections; fifty-five (13%) of whom showed impaired antibody response. We could evaluate 41 of these 55 patients for their particular clinical features. Specific antibody deficiency, was diagnosed in 10 of these patients, common variable immunodeficiency in 18, ataxia telangiectasia in 10 and other antibody deficiencies in 7 (transient hypogammaglobulinemia in 4, IgG subclass deficiency in 1, partial and selective IgA deficiency in 1) patients. Evaluation of the antibody response to polysaccharide antigens should be considered early on in patients with recurrent respiratory infections and required particularly for the diagnosis of specific antibody deficiency and the decision of the appropriate treatment approaches.

Published: April 2018

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a well known entity in adults but is exceedingly rare in children. It is better described in adults than in children. Smoking is a major etiological factor in adulthood. We report a case of a previously healthy 16-year-old male with a history of cigarette smoking, who presented with cough with sputum, breathlessness, easy fatigability and loss of appetite for two weeks. He was first diagnosed with bronchiectasis according to the cystic pulmonary changes demonstrated by computed tomography. After appropriate treatment, there was no sign of clinical improvement. A lung biopsy confirmed Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). The definitive diagnosis was isolated pulmonary LCH. PLCH should be considered in the etiology of cystic lung diseases. Isolated pulmonary LCH is rare so such cases are needed to be reported and followed-up to understand the treatment response and course of this illness.

Herein we reported a 7-year-old child with RET proto-oncogene c634 mutation. Her mother had been diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), and treated six years ago. Heterozygous mutation of the RET proto-oncogene at c634 had been detected in her mother. Genetic analysis showed the presence of the same mutation in our patient. Thyroid functions were normal. Serum calcitonin level was found mildly elevated. Parathormone (PTH) and carcinoembrionic antigen (CEA) levels were normal. Prophylactic thyroidectomy and sampling of cervical lymph nodes were performed. Histopathologic examination revealed hyperplasia in thyroid C cells, and reactive lymphadenopathy. The risk of MTC has been reported 100% through the life of patients with RET proto-oncogene mutation. It has been reported that particularly patients with c634 mutation have more risk of occurence of metastatic and progressive/recurrent MTC. Prophylactic `thyroidectomy, cervical lymph node dissection` before 5-years-of-age should be considered for these patients.

Spirometry is an easy method to measure lung function and to show pathophysiology. It assists not only to determine the severity of bronchial obstruction in asthma but also to differentiate the characteristics of the intrathoracic diseases narrowing the central airways. Different types of benign and malignant tumors of the trachea may cause emergence of symptoms of airway obstruction. Herein a patient who had been initially diagnosed with asthma but later on shown to have intratracheal myofibroblastic tumor is presented. The importance of flow-volume curve in both initial diagnosis of the mass and in the detection of recurrence is discussed.
A case with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome: A novel frameshift mutation in the CREBBP gene
Authors: Eser Metin , Ayaz Akif , Yeşil Gözde
Published: April 2018

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a developmental disorder characterized by a wide spectrum of multiple congenital anomalies and cognitive impairment. RSTS is primarily due to mutations in CREBBP (approximately 55% of cases) or EP300 (approximately 8% of cases) genes. A 2 month-old boy had atypical facial findings such as low anterior hairline, triangular face, hirsutism on forehead, down-slanting palpebral fissures, beaked nose, broad nasal bridge, triangular mouth and pointed chin and skeletal finding including broad great thumbs and halluces, and accessory nipple. With this paper, we reported a novel frameshift mutation which is led to premature stop codon in CREBBP gene. As a result, c.2057dupC, reported in this paper enlarges the molecular spectrum of disease-causing CREBBP gene.
Primary trimethylaminuria (fish odor syndrome) and hypothyroidism in an adolescent
Authors: Kılıç Mustafa
Published: April 2018

Primary trimethylaminuria (fish-odor syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder due to decreased metabolism of trimethylamine by enzyme flavin-containing monooxygenase 3. We report an adolescent boy who was socially distressed with malodor and diagnosed trimethylaminuria by molecular analyses. The patient was previously found to have primary hypothyroidism at another center when he was being investigated for malodor. Our aim is to remind awareness of this rare, socially devastating metabolic disorder to physicians, especially family doctors and specialists such as pediatricians, adolescent doctors, psychiatrists and dermatologists. We also searched for a possible association between trimethylaminuria and hypothyroidism but didn`t find out an exact pathophysiological link. Coexistence of primary trimethylaminuria and hypothyroidism might be coincidental.

SABERES, FORMAÇÃO, PROFISSIONALIZAÇÃO OU “NOTÓRIO SABER”: O QUE É PRECISO PARA SER PROFESSOR?
Authors: Oliveira Sonia Maria Soares de , Oliveira Antonio Ivanilo Bezerra de , Araújo Fátima Maria Leitão
Published: April 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal: refletir sobre o processo formativo e os saberes necessários para a constituição da profissão docente. As pesquisas no campo da educação têm demonstrado que a atuação dos professores não se restringe à vocação e nem ao domínio de um conjunto de técnicas aprendidas em um curso de formação, mas sim a uma trama de extrema complexidade. Tendo em vista a relevância dessa temática, empreendemos uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, ancorada em teóricos como Nóvoa (1995), Gauthier (1998), Veiga (2008), Tardif (2012), dentre outros, por possuírem relevantes estudos sobre essa temática. Os resultados nos mostraram que as pesquisas sobre a formação docente levam em conta a complexidade dos processos formativos e a constituição de seus saberes específicos. Contudo, na contramão das pesquisas e das atuais tendências, o atual governo brasileiro, em seu “pacote” de reformas para a educação, propõe o “notório saber”, onde para exercer o magistério bastaria a comprovação de um conhecimento de nível superior sobre determinada área, não sendo necessária a formação em nível de licenciatura para ser professor. O pressuposto da flexibilização do ingresso na carreira docente foi confirmada por meio da Lei 13.415/2017, que acrescentou ao art. 61 da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases (LDB) as questões relativas ao “notório saber”. Mesmo se restringindo ao ensino técnico, sua existência torna-se preocupante, pois abre precedentes para que essa prática se estenda às demais áreas de ensino. Por isso, concluímos que situações dessa natureza corroboram para descaracterizar a docência como profissão.
Ombudsmen in the Brazilian and Portuguese media: a reflection on the activities developed between 1989 and 2013
Authors: Paulino Fernando Oliveira , Oliveira Madalena
Published: April 2018

This article aims to reflect on the history of the practices of ombudsmen in the Brazilian and Portuguese media, seeking simultaneously to identify the challenges and difficulties inherent to this function in mediatic communication. A comparative approach is adopted here, which, as is generally the case in social science, seeks to discover regularities and recognize differences in the activities developed by the ombudsmen in Brazil and Portugal between 1989 and 2013. Hence, using comparison to obtain a method to objectify the analysis, this study purports to outline the function in communication vehicles in both countries. With almost 25 years’ existence in the lusophone sphere and, despite having properties such as the accountability mechanism, hetero- and auto-regulation, the ombudsman has not been widely adopted in Portuguese-speaking countries. In Brazil, the expansion of the function is still conceivable, while in Portugal, the ombudsman is an instrument undergoing steady decline. Affected by the European economic crisis, the Portuguese media have resisted the establishment of the institution  and those who have already accepted it seem to be abandoning it progressively.
Literary narrative in the daily print media: Zero Hora and Gazeta do Sul
Authors: Soster Demétrio de Azeredo , Piccinin Fabiana Quatrin
Published: April 2018

This paper aims to investigate the presence of specific categories in journalistic narratives in daily newspapers – feature story and interpretative news- and their use of elements from the literary narrative. This  movement presents itself as a strategy from which the devices reiterate their identity links, making possible their operations, producing new meanings and provoking differences that generate further differences. The results of the empirical research undertaken over 30 days – from September 1st to September 30th, 2010 - based on two of the main daily newspapers in Rio Grande do Sul: Zero Hora, from Porto Alegre, and Gazeta do Sul, from Santa Cruz do Sul, suggest that a process of increasing complexity in journalism is at play, as revealed by the lack of journalistic categories and genres, hitherto viewed as indicators of deeper layers of meaning than textual reificators,
Working in a developing communication space. Facebook and Twitter as journalistic tools for European information pure-player websites
Authors: Tixier Florian
Published: April 2018

Since the creation of the European Union, European information has been a very important issue of communication. Numerous Europe-specialized information websites were born in the first decade of the 21st century, thus creating a European informational landscape on the Internet. In a context of journalistic technological and economical evolutions, journalists have to adapt rapidly their ways of working. A new function in terms of management of socio-numeric networks has appeared: community management. This research aims at analyzing the uses of Facebook and Twitter in the community management of online European information websites. We will be specifically observing how information makers integrate these technologies, which originally were not part of the journalistic work patterns, and how they use these new means of communication to circulate European ideas through self-promotion practices.

Authors: Alves Kellyanne Carvalho , Souza Filho Guido Lemos de , Moura Sandra , Brito Fernando
Published: April 2018

This essay presents the results of the application of JCollab for journalists´ education. JCollab is a system developed for automating the management of the production of television news programs, organizing the interactive process of producing a collaborative news program that involves, in addition to students and teachers, ordinary people. The system was successfully tested with journalism students at the Federal University of Paraíba (Brazil). In evaluations which made use of JCollab, it was noted that this teaching approach facilitated communication between the community of users’ members and stimulated teamwork, resulting in a truly collective and collaborative process.
User x newspaper interaction on a social network site: evidence of change
Authors: Teixeira Mabel
Published: April 2018

This paper aims to establish a discussion of the relationship between users x newspapers in cyberspace or, more specifically, in a Computer Mediated Communication Tool (CMC), the social networking site (SNS) Facebook. To establish the discussion proposed, this paper broke for exploration of interactions between users of Facebook and a newspaper of national expression, the Folha de São Paulo (FSP), through methodological procedures advocated by Grounded Theory (TF). Thus, there was the manual collection of a news report published by FSP on Facebook and of the 207 comments that followed. The analysis and systematization of data served to consolidate the intended debate and the social changes that shift the journalism position as the organizer legitimate of human experience.
Eclectic continuum, distinct discipline or sub-domain of communication studies?
Authors: Löffelholz Martin , Rothenberger Liane
Published: April 2018

Is journalism studies a sub-domain of communication studies, adistinct discipline, a multidisciplinary merger or a transdisciplinary endeavour? This question is discussed by analyzing the 2008 and2009 volumes of seven academic journals focusing on journalismresearch. The sample includes 349 articles published in BrazilianJournalism Research, Ecquid Novi, Journalism & CommunicationMonographs, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, PacificJournalism Review, Journalism Studies, or Journalism: Theory,Practice and Criticism. Overall, the findings reveal that journalismresearch mainly applies theoretical approaches and empiricalmethods deriving from other disciplines, particularly sociology, psychology or cultural studies. In many countries, however, journalism studies has reached a comparatively high level of institutionalization indicated by the large number of specific schools, professorships, professional associations and respective academic journals. In conclusion, we argue that journalism studies is a sub-domain of communication studies, which integrates andtranscends various disciplines aiming to become one of the axialsubjects of the 21st century.
Journalism and the culture of othering
Authors: Allan Stuart
Published: April 2018

In seeking to render problematic traditional conceptions of journalistic identity, this article critiques the seemingly natural, even ‘common sensical’ structures of social exclusion recurrently underpinning its formulation. More specifically, it explores, firstly, a series of insights provided by feminist and gender-sensitive critiques of journal­ism. In assessing the typically subtle imperatives of sexism in news reporting, it consid­ers the extent to which journalistic identity continues to be defined within the day-to-day ‘macho culture’ of the newsroom, where female journalists’ perceptions of sexual dis­crimination typically vary sharply from those held by their male colleagues. Secondly, at­tention turns to the issue of ethnic diversity, where the need to deconstruct the racialised projection of ‘us and them’ dichotomies precisely as they are taken-up and re-inflected in news reporting is shown to be of pressing concern. In bringing together these respec­tive set of debates, primarily from British and US contexts, this article aims to contribute to conceptual efforts to further unravel the ways in which journalists’ routine, everyday choices about what to report – how best to do it, and why –involves them in a politics of mediation, one where all too often a culture of othering proves significant.
Representation of differences in Brazilian journalistic discourse
Authors: Resende Fernando
Published: April 2018

Considering the technological advance, which enhances the production of mediatic discourses, and the notion of a libidinal power installed in our globalized societies, reflecting upon representation of differences seems to be a major issue. This essay discusses the production of journalistic discourses from an epistemological perspective. The field of media is taken as constituted by a triple component – discourse/narrative/machines – and we suggest that this triad has proved to be incomplete: discourse and narrative, once they really are vertexes of the triangle, are absences. Two journalistic-documentary productions – which intend to represent life in the slums of Brazil – are compared in order to reflect upon representation of differences in Brazilian journalistic discourse. In view of the up-to-date polarization and pulverization of discourses, we suggest that in the perspective of the journalistic discourse, one can only speak about alterity if one tries to comprehend the ways news is staged.
Information monocultures: a look at the production of fragmented narratives in the press
Authors: Nóra Gabriela
Published: April 2018

The concept of “information monoculture”, derived from the work of Indian philosopher Vandana Shiva, explores the relationships between the author’s analysis in the field of biodiversity and biotechnology, and the problem of hyper-segmentation in journalistic narratives.A careful observation of the logic underlying the monoculture system aids in the understanding and demystification of the segmentation processes in journalism, especially when it comes to those mechanisms that make more of the same to specific groups, in order to eliminate diversity to meetthe much celebrated customization. In this context, it is imperative to discuss the problem of this tendency toward fragmentation and transience these days, paying attention to the modes of appropriation of the real/reality and to the marking of rhythmic flows that intensely affect and define relationships, content, and narrative (and social) experiences of contemporaneity.
Postcard and reversed journalism in narratives about cities
Authors: Peres Ana Cláudia
Published: April 2018

The city is a place of encounters. Journalism often appropriates raw facts and statistic data in order to narrate it. However, there are many ways to understand the urban experience within the field, through accounts that go beyond technical rationality. This paper attempts to understand journalistic narratives as producers of meaning and the city as a text, as proposed by Michel de Certeau. Therefore, we investigate narratives about the city in the magazine piauí as a starting point to examine discursive strategies that by combining the real and the poetic expand the fact, produce dialogues and expose other possible types of journalism. Above all, we aim to provide a reflection on the place that journalism occupies today within the field of knowledge, within an epistemological perspective that considers the material and symbolic, factual and emotional, ethical and aesthetic contexts.
Narratives of Suffering in the Press: the construction of scenes and the place of the subject
Authors: Cal Danila , Lage Leandro
Published: April 2018

The article seeks to understand the narrative strategies mobilized by press journalism to expose scenes of suffering related to child domestic labor, considered by social organizations as one of the activities in which children and adolescents are more oppressed and have their rights violated. It starts with the theoretical discussion of "politics of pity" (H. Arendt) in order to understand in journalistic narratives the suffering appropriations considering the narrative configuration of scenes and of the suffering subject. It explores ethical issues underlying these reports, questioning narrative strategies which are commonly recommended to reporters, as the thematization of injustices in the form of the complaint and a description of characters and life stories in the narratives. It concludes, in the light of the language of pity, that these stories are decisive for how child domestic labor is configured or not as a public issue and to understand the gestures of portrayal the suffering in the journalistic narratives.The article seeks to understand the narrative strategies mobilized by press journalism to expose scenes of suffering related to child domestic labor, considered by social organizations as one of the activities in which children and adolescents are more oppressed and have their rights violated.

Maternal Rights Digital Activism and Intersectional Feminism: an Analysis of the Independent Media Platform “Cientista Que Virou Mãe”
Authors: Medrado Andrea Meyer , Muller Ana Paula
Published: April 2018

This article seeks to obtain a deepened understanding of the phenomenon of maternal rights digital activism, drawing from an analysis of Cientista Que Virou Mãe (CQVM or Scientist who became a mother, in Portuguese), a blog which became an independent media platform. By doing this, we hope to fill an important research gap as little is written on the relationships between motherhood, feminism and the media. Based on preliminary evidence, we also wish to suggest that the CQVM platform can be located within the context of digital activism, arguing that the latter has lots to benefit from incorporating the perspectives of intersectional feminism. In order to achieve this, our study has a netnographic inspiration, analyzing one particular event that was significant in the history of the CQVM platform as it echoed the voices of black mothers.    Neste artigo, buscamos compreender o ativismo digital materno a partir da análise de um blog que passou a operar como uma plataforma de mídia independente: o Cientista Que Virou Mãe (CQVM). Gostaríamos de apresentar os indícios que revelam que esta plataforma atua como importante iniciativa de ativismo digital materno. Tanto nos estudos feministas, como nos estudos de comunicação e mídia, este recorte, mais voltado para a análise das relações entre maternidade, feminismo e mídia, é relativamente pouco trabalhado. Após localizarmos a plataforma CQVM dentro do contexto do ativismo digital materno, destacamos que tal fenômeno pode ser beneficiado por uma maior incorporação das perspectivas do feminismo interseccional. Para demonstrar esse ponto, adotamos uma abordagem de inspiração (n)etnográfica, analisando um evento marcante na história da plataforma, o qual trouxe à tona as vozes das mulheres e mães negras.  El objetivo de este artículo es conducirnos una comprensión más profunda del fenómeno del activismo digital materno, a partir de un análisis de Cientista Que Virou Mãe (CQVM, La Cientista que se Convirtió en Madre, traducido al español), un blog que se convirtió en una plataforma de medios independientes. A partir de aqui, esperamos llenar una brecha de investigación importante ya que se escribe poco sobre las relaciones entre la maternidad, el feminismo y los medios. También deseamos sugerir que la plataforma CQVM se pueda ubicar dentro del contexto del activismo digital, argumentando que este último tiene mucho que beneficiarse al incorporar las perspectivas del feminismo interseccional. Para cumplir con este propósito, nuestra investigación adopta una inspiración (n)etnográfica, analizando un evento particular que fue significativo en la historia de la plataforma CQVM ya que se manifestaron más fuertemente las voces de las madres negras.
Convergence and transmedia: semantic galaxies and emergent narratives in journalism
Authors: Alzamora Geane , Tárcia Lorena
Published: April 2018

This paper discusses the possibilities of the application in Journalism of the Transmedia Storytelling concept, proposed by Henry Jenkins (2003) for the fictional sphere. This paper first explores the definitions of Transmedia Storytelling and the conceptual differences between convergence and transmedia. It also proposes an approach to the transmedia concept in the journalistic universe, based on the perspective of knowledge produced in the transmedia dimension and on the formats’ informational specificities. The study concludes with an initial exploration of examples about emerging narratives in transmedia journalism. The examples addressed are Immersive Journalism and Newsgames, suggesting that experimentation is an outstanding aspect of transmedia storytelling.
Marginal notes, Zeitgeist and memory of the present time: readers’ comments in cyberjournalism
Authors: Palacios Marcos
Published: April 2018

This work proposes an application of the concept of Marginal Notes to journalistic texts, and more specifically, their utilization for the characterization of Readers´ Comments in Cyberjournalism as an emerging form of Memory. The concept of Marginal Notes is discussed in its classical sense and then transposed to the situation of journalistic production. The idea of journalistic Marginal Notes is also associated with the topic of the War of the Memories, but what is basically distinguished is the value of the preservation of these comments as possible indicators of a Zeitgeist to be possibly recovered, from a specific historical distance. Some examples of Marginal Notes in journalism in online media are furnished. Attention is called to the need for understanding Marginal Notes as a “text”, in the broad sense of the word, since all the (multi)media formats incorporated as readers´ contributions should be included in the concept, and consequently efforts should be made for their preservation for future uses.
The city in cultural journalism: a perspective of Porto Alegre in the coverage of Diário do Sul (1986-1988)
Authors: Golin Cida , Keller Sara , Cardoso Everton
Published: April 2018

The article discusses the representation of the city in cultural journalism, examining how the cultural section of the newspaper Diário do Sul (which belonged to Gazeta Mercantil’s group) offered a perspective of Porto Alegre from 1986 to 1988. The study summarizes a large part of the research results conducted by means of content analysis and thematic oral history techniques. It was perceived that the coverage, anchored in positivity, builds up the city as a place of consumption, of novelty, of updating and of the continuous movement of external flows. It reveals the geographic centralization of the circuit, investments in culture institutionalization and in the renewal of the city`s infrastructure. In the tension between the references that create belonging and those that expand the territory, journalism represents the city as the center of the show, inserted in a phenomenon of the recent decades, when cities became decisive agents in the realm of culture.

Journalism in new clothes: considerations on the identity and professional practice based on Prêmio Imprensa Embratel
Authors: Faccin Milton Julio , Ferreira Soraya Venegas
Published: April 2018

This article addresses some ideas about current journalistic practices and their consequent interventions in redefining the professional ethos of the business environment in the Brazilian press. As in other professions, the journalistic identity results from a network of social representations that, through a set of concepts, techniques and procedures, reproduces and is produced by everyday practices originated in their field. Among these practices are the awards granted to professionals. Certain awards have become so relevant that they are taken as benchmarks for good professional practice and, concomitantly, evidence of journalistic practice paradigms. This is the case of Prêmio Imprensa Embratel, chosen here as the object of study. The choice is guided not only by the sponsoring company, but also by its connection with the associations. With different aspects from the most traditional prize in the field, Prêmio Esso de Jornalismo, Prêmio Imprensa Embratel emphasizes the ramifications of the reportage practice, through the categories that do not concern solely on the content of the coverages, but also seek recognition as a kind of prize made by and for journalists.
Pages of revolution, promise and hope: metaphors of cloning and stem cell research in Brazilian newspapers
Authors: Da Silva Medeiros Flávia Natércia
Published: April 2018

Metaphors not only contribute to cognitively accommodate new information and concepts, but also to mobilize political, social or ideological meanings. In the popularization of biotechnology-related facts and achievements, the metaphors chosen to construct newspaper articles may influence both positively and negatively the general public perceptions of its several applications. This study reports a discourse analysis of metaphors used in Brazilian opinion-leading newspapers to popularize cloning and stem cell research: “revolution”, “opening new ways/doors”, “promise” and “hope”. Predominantly associated with positive sense, they may have contributed to reduce the resistance against animal and/or therapeutic cloning and to construct a moral imperative in favor of embryonic stem cell research, which would lead to therapies or cures for incurable diseases.

Chemical functionalization has demonstrated to be a powerful approach to tailor the physical and chemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, to increase their processability and stability, to add new functionalities and, even, to create new 2D materials. However, this post synthetic method – which involves the anchoring of molecules on the surface of an exfoliated 2D crystal – inevitably leads to defective materials, which lack long-range structural order. If defect-free functionalized monolayers are required, a radically new approach needs to be developed. Here we present a pre-synthetic method based on coordination chemistry that affords the isolation of crystalline functionalized monolayers. This involves functionalization of the ligand prior to the formation of the 2D material. The concept is illustrated using layered coordination polymers formed by reacting various benzimidazole derivatives with ferrocene. This surface tuneability, together with the robust magnetic and mechanical properties of these 2D materials, make them exceptional candidates for studying the magnetism in the 2D limit, as well as for developing membranes for selective molecular sensing.
A última reforma política na Argentina em 2009: abordando as explicações além da lei formal
Authors: Prats Mariana Laura , Del Cogliano Natalia C.
Published: April 2018

Em 2009, o Congresso Argentino aprovou a Lei 26.571 sobre a “Democratização da Representação, Transparência e Equidade Eleitoral Política”. Considerando a importância desse tipo de reforma para o sistema político, esse artigo busca descrever e analisar essa reforma política por uma nova abordagem no estudo das mudanças institucionais: uma two-level theory. Levando em consideração os princípios de eficiência e distribuição, assim como precedentes históricos, um modelo mais abrangente é proposto. Ele nos permite refletir sobre os diversos elementos da nova legislação, seus objetivos e efeitos pretendidos, alguns dos quais não poderiam, ou com dificuldade, ser atingidos. Além disso, é argumentado que essa última reforma política no país é parte de uma tendência das democracias latino-americanas. Seu design e propósitos revelam que essa correção institucional é mais que apenas isso. Nesse caso, porque, em “democracias consolidadas”, mudanças não mais são radicais, ao contrário, ajustes incrementais à legislação ordinária estão se tornando a regra. Para concluir, algumas reflexões sobre os efeitos da reforma política na democracia argentina e instituições políticas são propostas. Uma pesquisa comparativa dos últimos ajustes eleitorais em outros países do subcontinente é sugerida.

A prestação de contas nos regimes democráticos
Authors: De Miranda Luiz Fernando Vieira Vasconcellos
Published: April 2018

O texto discute a relação entre corrupção e accountability, ondese mostra que, quanto mais contas um governo presta, maior e melhorserá a capacidade de avaliação da real eficácia desse governo por parte doeleitor e maior será a possibilidade de se inibir e reprimir eventuais abusos.Quanto à confiança depositada na classe política, mostra-se que ela ficadependente dos mecanismos que garantem a liberdade e a manutençãodessa confiança que está em relação direta com a necessidade de se prestarcontas, ou seja, da existência da accountability. Um consequente pontoquestionado é a eficiência do que se cunhou de accountability vertical, ouseja, as eleições. A conclusão que se chega é que as eleições servem apenaspara consentir e não para recompensar ou punir políticos, sendo, portanto,um mecanismo fraco de accountability. Estabelece-se, por fim, a relevânciada prestação de contas nas democracias representativas para o bomfuncionamento institucional.

The main purpose of this research was to identify 4 to 6-year-old children’s ideas about microorganisms, taking into consideration the learning processes carried out in different educational contexts. To this end, data were collected from two institutions – a science museum and a kindergarten – by means of interviews, recorded conversations, drawings, and the application of a didactic sequence with the kindergarten group. A qualitative analysis of the data revealed that children associate the presence of microorganisms with dirty places and see them as pathological agents. The children demonstrated that they understand the idea of scale and the need for magnifying instruments. We found that they consider microorganisms morphologically similar to insects and that they use various scientific words appropriately. It was concluded that young children understand the theme “microorganisms”, and that it should be addressed more actively by institutions that teach four- to six-year-olds, which are responsible for contributing to their scientific literacy and science learning in childhood. It is proposed that the following themes be developed in educational activities with young children: biodiversity, scale, biological functions, and relationships with humans and food.
Palestras de Divulgação Científica de Química: Contribuições para a Crença na Autoeficácia de Estudantes do Ensino Médio
Authors: Parra Kenia Naara , Kasseboehmer Ana Cláudia
Published: April 2018

No campo da psicologia educacional, muitos estudos têm diagnosticado constructos como a autoeficácia de estudantes, mas poucos propõem intervenções e avaliam seu potencial para a mudança da autoeficácia. Este estudo avaliou o potencial de palestras de química para a promoção da crença na autoeficácia através de atividades de divulgação científica aplicadas para estudantes do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio de três escolas públicas ao longo de um ano. O estudo é de natureza qualitativa, pautado em entrevistas semiestruturadas com estudantes e professores e seguido da categorização e análise dos resultados. Dentre os fatores que forneceram indícios de fortalecimento das crenças de autoeficácia, destacam-se o aumento do interesse pela química, melhor compreensão dos conceitos químicos e melhor compreensão da natureza da química, bem como do aumento do esforço aplicado para o aprendizado. Tais resultados foram corroborados pelas observações dos professores, à medida que aprofundaram o olhar para suas turmas e notaram particular aumento do esforço e interesse, embora não tenham observado mudanças em toda a sala de aula. Dentre os aspectos das palestras que contribuíram para os resultados, destacam-se a promoção de interação entre os estudantes, engajamento e envolvimento cognitivo a partir das dinâmicas das apresentações, temas das pesquisas científicas, espaços não formais utilizados e formação dos apresentadores. Entretanto, aspectos relacionados à avaliação escolar e falta de diálogo entre professores e estudantes são fatores limitantes dessas atividades para o diagnóstico, intervenção e acompanhamento das turmas. Questões relacionadas à importância de estudos longitudinais para avaliação da crença na autoeficácia também foram apontadas.
