Published: December 2018

Introduction: Hospitals are dealing with patients who may have clinical discharge but cannot return to their home due to non-medical issues.Material and Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of all the cases referred to the Integrated Care Network during the year 2016. Evaluation of waiting times, typology, reason for referral and clinical parameters. IBM SPSS 24.0 software was used for all statisticalanalyses.Results: In the evaluated period, 2294 patients were discharged from our department. Of these, 55 were referred to Integrated Care Network. The mean length of hospitalization of the patients referred to the network was 20.6 ± 11.4 days, and the mean overall length of hospital stay in the period analyzed was 4.8 ± 0.9 days. The mean time between hospitalization and referral for continuing care was 10.7 ± 7.2 days. The time between referral and discharge of the hospital was 10.0 ± 8.7 days. Thirty-nine (70.9%) patients were hospitalized for oncological diseases. The most common referral was to Palliative Care units (n = 16; 29.1%). Patients referred to Palliative Care units showed the largest waiting times between the referral for the network and the hospital discharge, 12.2 ± 10.51 days. We observed 289 hospitalization days with patients who had no need of specialized urological care.Discussion: In order to reduce time between referral to the network and hospital discharge, there is a need for enhanced cooperation and coordination among doctors, nurses and social workers.Conclusion: Early identification by physicians and nurses of patients who will require care after discharge will provide a better response from social workers and increased hospital performance.

Published: December 2018

The aim of this article is to present a hands-on laboratory experiment, which enables students to become acquainted with the idea and some principles of green chemistry in the context of the manufacture and use of lacquers. Environmental concerns, particularly the regulations concerning Volatile Organic Compounds have resulted in a dramatic change in the coating markets and traditional solvent-based (SB) technologies are being replaced by new, environmentally friendly processes based on ultraviolet (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing. In this exercise, the technological processes of SB and UV lacquers production and application were simplified and adapted for a school laboratory. The obtained lacquers are fully functional products with repeatable, easily measurable properties, which depend on the composition directly. The proposed method in this exercise is based on guided inquiry, however, it may be realized in a more or less open form, depending on the teacher’s goals, needs, and preferences.

This article analyzes the literature data concerning the origin and progression of cerebrovascular and cardiac diseases in renal dysfunction. Cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease have common “traditional” risk factors, while the population growth in patients with renal impairment is currently mainly due to secondary renal damage in socially important diseases such as obesity, hypertension, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease and chronic heart failure. The presented data of scientific researches testify to the direct correlation correlation between the decrease of the renal function and the increased risk of cardioand cerebrovascular diseases and death, irrespective of other risk factors. Obesity and associated biological substrates are independent risk factors for persistent impairment of kidney function and an increase in the body mass index causes direct damage to the kidneys, due to the disrupted synthesis of fat cytokines by various cytokines with nephrotoxic action, and also mediated — by inducing the development of diabetes mellitus 2 type and arterial hypertension, which are the most frequent risk factors for chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases. The presented data on the role of endothelial dysfunction in impaired renal function, which contributes to the formation of atherosclerosis, and the increase in the severity of the atherosclerotic process contributes to an increase in the sever ity of renal failure. Literature data on the value of the heart rate are also presented. The increase in the heart rate can lead to atherosclerotic densification of the arteries, which is associated with an increase in the rate of spread of the pulse wave with a violation of the mechanisms of autoregulation of the blood flow in the brain and kidneys.

The aimof the research is to assess risk factors of damage of the cardiovascular system in patients with primary osteoarthritis with identified coronary atherosclerosis.

Materials and methods.52 patients at the mean age 41 [34; 52] were involved in the study. Therewere 37 womenand 15 menamongthem. Planned contrast study of the coronary arteries (on the apparatus ALLURAXperFD20 Philips) were performed to all patients. As a result, hemodynamically insignificant (less than 50%) atherosclerotic stenosis of the heart vessels was verified in this group. In all patients were determined such indicators as: height, weight, waist circumference with the calculation of body mass index by Kettle`s method. The questionnaire was used to assess the presence of risk factors for development of cardiovascular diseases, such as: smoking, family history of cardiovascular diseases, hypodynamia. In addition, all patients had daily monitoring of arterial pressure by the device «Kardiotechnika– 07-AP-3», clinical and biochemical blood tests and the total cardiovascular risk was calculated.

Results.Each patient had from 1 to 6 risk factors of cardiovascular diseases,the median was [25-th; 75-th percentiles] 3 [2; 5]. In the group of women family history of cardiovascular diseases, hypodynamia and hypertension met more often the in the group of men (р=0,002). Men with higher frequency demonstrated the presence of bad habits (smoking), high levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins (p=0.0001). The correlation analysis revealed that the incidence of hypertension, hypodynamia and dyslipidemia was associated with the duration of osteoarthritis, the intensity of pain according to visual analog scale and the number of affected joints.

Conclusion.The presense of generalized subclinical inflammation in patients with ostheoarthritis together with the classic risk factors of development of cardiovascular diseases, probably mediates the early beginning of atherosclerosis in this category of patients.

Atherosclerosis is a complex multifocal arterial disease involving interactions of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of death and disability in developed countries, while in developing countries the incidence of this pathology is growing rapidly. Advances in techniques of molecular genetics have revealed that genetic polymorphisms significantly influence susceptibility to atherosclerotic vascular diseases. A large number of candidate genes, genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility loci associated with atherosclerotic diseases have been identified in recent years and their number is rapidly increasing. In recent years, there is significant interest in identifying additional factors of genetic risk for atherosclerosis. In recent years, a large number of genetic studies have been carried out to prove the genetic effect on the atherosclerotic process. Rapid progress in the sequencing of the human genome and molecular genetic methods have helped in the definition of susceptibility loci and associated candidate genes with atherosclerosis and concomitant diseases. The association of a large number of susceptibility genes with atherosclerosis reflects the enormous complexity of the disease. Multiple factors, including endothelial dysfunction, lipid metabolism defects, inflammation and immune responses, oxidative stress, cell proliferation, tissue remodeling and hemostatic defects are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this review we focus and discuss on some of the major candidate genes and genetic polymorphisms associated with human atherosclerotic vascular diseases.

Published: December 2018

The Community-acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is an urgent problem of modern medicine owing to its high prevalence, gravity of a current, the increasing resistance of a microflora to antibacterial therapy, a large number of complications and a high lethality. Udmurt republic is one of leaders among the regions of Russian Federation on morbidity by diseases of the respiratory system, include CAP. It is therefore necessary to take analysis and prognosis incidence for the future improving quality administer. Research objective. The analysis of incidence and mortality from diseases of respiratory organs in the Udmurt Republic for 2009-2016. Materials and methods. The retrospective and prospection clinical-epidemiological research of prevalence and primary incidence of diseases of respiratory organs among the adult population of the Udmurt Republic living in 4 cities is conducted (Izhevsk, Sarapul, Glazov, Votkinsk) and 25 rural areas for the 8-summer period (2009-2016). The analysis is carried out on the basis of data of the state statistical registration and reporting documentation of Budgetary institution of health care of the Udmurt Republic «Republican medical information and analysis center of the Ministry of Health of the Udmurt Republic». Results of a research. The prevalence of diseases of respiratory organs in the Udmurt Republic was 49871,39±1,33 on 100 thousand population. The average growth rate was 2,3%, and the average rate o f a gain was — 0,25%. In comparison with data for the same period to the Russian Federation, average growth rate the average rate of a gain — 5,48% was 1,7%, and that demonstrates some decrease in incidence. In the analysis of structure of incidence of diseases of respiratory organs of the population of the Udmurt Republic it is established that she throughout the entire period of observation significantly hasn’t changed. At the same time annually, leading places are taken by pneumonia and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Estimating the level of primary incidence of diseases of respiratory organs, it is noted that on UR the average growth rate is 105,42%, the average rate of a gain of 5,42%, in comparison across the Russian Federation average growth rate of 87,07%, and the average rate of a gain — 12,93%. Conclusion. Thus, to UR, as well as in general across the Russian Federation steadily high incidence of pneumonia is noted. At the same time the tendency to increase in incidence and this pathology mortality is noted. This circumstance demands further studying of a problem of pneumonia, including improvement of methods of medical correction.

How Elastic Demand Affects Bidding Strategy in Electricity Market：An Auction Approach
Authors: Fang Debin , Ren Qiyu , Yu Qian
Published: December 2018

The deepening of electricity reform results in increasingly frequent auctions and the surge of generators, it becomes difficult to analyze generators’ behaviors. Since it’s hard to find analytical market equilibriums, approximate equilibriums were obtained instead in previous studies by market simulations, which are strict to initial estimations and simulation results are chaotic in some cases. In this paper, a multi-unit power bidding model is proposed to reveal the bidding mechanism under clearing pricing rule by employing auction approach, for which initial estimations are non-essential. Normalized bidding price is introduced to construct generator's price-related bidding strategy. Nash equilibriums are derived depend on the marginal cost and the winning probability which are computed from bidding quantity, transmission cost and demand distribution. Furthermore, we propose a comparative analysis to explore the impact of uncertain elastic demand on the performance of the electricity market. The result indicates that, there exists market power among generators leading to social welfare decreases even under competitive conditions but elastic demand is an effective way to restrain generators’ market power. The feasibility of the models is verified by a case study. Our work provides decision support for generators and a direction for improving market efficiency.

Published: December 2018

Purpose: To investigate the extent of anterior chamber angle circumference needed to maintain a physiological outflow facility (C). Methods: Twenty anterior segments of porcine eyes were assigned to 5 groups, each with a different degree of cyanoacrylate-mediated angle closure: 90° (n = 4), 180° (n = 4), 270° (n = 4), 360° (n = 4) and four unoccluded control eyes. The outflow facility was measured at baseline, 3, 12, 24, and 36 hours after angle closure. Outflow patterns were evaluated with canalograms and the histomorphology was compared. Results: Baseline outflow facilities of the five groups were similar (F = 0.922, P = 0.477). Complete, circumferential occlusion over 360° induced a significant decrease in facility from baseline at all time-points (P ≤ 0.023 at 3, 12, 24 and 36 hours). However, no difference from baseline was found in any of the partially-occluded (0–270°) groups (F ≥ 0.067, P ≥ 0.296 at 3, 12, 24 and 36 hours). The canalograms confirmed the extent of occlusion with flow through the unblocked regions. Histology revealed no adverse effects of blockage on the TM or aqueous plexus in the unoccluded angle portions. The unoccluded TM appeared normal. Conclusion: Cyanoacrylate-mediated angle occlusion created a reproducible angle closure model. 90° of unoccluded anterior chamber angle circumference was sufficient to maintain physiological outflow. This model may help understand how outflow can be regulated in healthy, nonglaucomatous TM.

Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is the causative agent of a globally-spread tick-borne zoonotic infection with an eminent risk of fatal human disease. Imminent public health threat posed by disseminated virus activity and lack of an approved therapeutic make CCHFV an urgent target for vaccine development. We described the construction of a DNA vector expressing nucleocapsid protein (N) of CCHFV (pV-N13) and investigated its potential to stimulate cytokine and total/specific antibody responses in BALB/c and challenge experiment in IFNAR-/- mice. Due to lack of sufficient antibody stimulation towards N protein, we have selected CD24 protein as a potential adjuvant which has proliferative effect on B and T cells. Overall, our N expressing construct when administered solely or in combination with pCD24 vector elicited significant cellular and humoral responses in BALB/c, despite variations in particular cytokines and total antibodies. However, the stimulated antibodies produced due to expression of N protein have shown no neutralizing ability in VNA. Furthermore, challenge experiments were revealed protection potential of N expressing construct in IFNAR -/- mice model. In conclusion, we have shown that CD24 has prominent effect as a genetic adjuvant when co-delivers with a synergic foreign gene expressing vector. Besides, targeting of S segment of CCHFV can be considered as a practical way in developing vaccine against this virus due to its ability to induce immune response which leads to protection in challenge assays in IFN-gamma defective mice models.

Published: December 2018

The aim of this study is to adapt and examine the
psychometric properties of Achievement Goal Scale (AGS) originally constructed
by Elliot and McGregor (2001) and the
Motivated Strategies for Learning Scale (MSLQ) originally constructed
by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia and
McKeachie (1991) in order to measure the
self-regulated learning skills of high school students' in a chemistry course. The study group was
comprised of 862 high school students attending a chemistry course in different
public schools. The
construct validity of the sub-scales included
in the scales were tested by confirmatory factor analysis. For
the reliability studies, the internal consistency coefficient Cronbach's alpha
(α) values as well as McDonald's ω (omega) coefficients were calculated.
In addition, item-total correlations were calculated for the
reliability of each item in the scales. When the confirmatory factor
analysis results were examined, it was accepted that the fit indices met the
goodness of fit criteria for both the Achievement Goal Scale and Motivated
Strategies for Learning Scale. Factor loadings of the items in both scales were statistically significant. These results showed that
the Turkish forms of both scales have
enough psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability for a chemistry course.
Improbidade administrativa e dano ao Erário presumido por dispensa indevida de licitação: uma crítica à jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça
Authors: Faria Luzardo , Bianchi Bruno Guimarães
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo tem como objeto de estudo analisar o entendimento do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, em ações de improbidade administrativa, de que o dano ao Erário nos casos de dispensa indevida de licitação é presumido, devendo os acusados ressarcirem a Administração Pública no valor integral do contrato. No entanto, este entendimento merece reparos, na medida em que viola preceitos legais e constitucionais sobre o tema. Sendo assim, em um primeiro momento, será analisada a forma – muitas vezes deturpadas – pela qual a Lei de Improbidade Administrativa vem sendo aplicada pelos tribunais pátrios nesses 25 anos de sua promulgação. Após, será feito o corte metodológico de estudo do presente artigo, apresentando os precedentes que adotam o entendimento da presunção de dano ao erário por dispensa indevida de licitação. Estabelecido os pontos a serem analisados, tratar-se-á da vedação ao enriquecimento sem causa da Administração Pública e de que forma ela se aplica ao caso da dispensa indevida de licitação. Na sequência, será demonstrado de que forma a presunção do dano neste caso específico viola o princípio constitucional da presunção de inocência. Por fim, serão apresentadas as conclusões do presente trabalho, com sugestões de premissas a serem adotadas daqui em diante pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça quando do julgamento de casos de improbidade administrativa envolvendo a dispensa indevida de licitação.
Princípio da boa administração: tendência ou clássico?
Authors: Gomes Carla Amado
Published: December 2018

O princípio da boa administração, que foi expressamente consagrado no artigo 5.º do Código de Procedimento Administrativo de 2015, surge no âmbito do Conselho da Europa em 1977 e desde então tem-se multiplicado, em documentos da União europeia e nos ordenamentos nacionais. O intuito deste texto é compulsar a valência (autónoma) do princípio da boa administração para além das suas concretizações através de direitos procedimentais (como os direitos de audiência e à fundamentação) e de vinculações principiológicas (como a imparcialidade e a proporcionalidade), tanto do ponto de vista invalidatório como responsabilizante.

Authors: Alvarez Fariña Rafael
Published: December 2018

Antecedentes: Existe consenso en que la práctica y la enseñanza de la natación en México a nivel infantil se basa en un enfoque técnico y deportivo, sin embargo, no existe un análisis el de la oferta y de los programas existentes. Objetivos: Evaluar la oferta, la demanda a un programa mixto técnico-educativo y el perfil académico docente que lo imparte, de empresas dedicadas a la natación y actividades acuáticas en población prescolar y escolar. Método: Se utilizaron palabras claves para discriminar la oferta en: servicio o programática y dentro de esta última técnica o educativa, número de inscriptos por niveles en programa mixto técnico-educativo y proporción de docentes formados. Resultados: Se prioriza de forma similar los servicios (48%) en relación a la oferta de programas (52%). Dentro de la oferta programática existe una mayor tendencia hacia la oferta de programas de enseñanza técnica con relación a programas técnico-educativos. Con respecto al análisis del programa técnico-educativo, el 72% de los niños participan en niveles con metodología lúdica y el restante 28% lo hacen en niveles con progresiones técnicas. En relación al nivel académico de los docentes; solo el 19% de ellos, tienen nivel universitario. Conclusiones: En conclusión, casi el 50% de la oferta no da importancia a los programas. Así mismo, la enseñanza de la natación y las actividades acuáticas presenta una tendencia tecnicista en contraposición a la educativa, presenta una profunda ausencia de saberes pedagógicos, transformando el aprendizaje de la natación en un aprendizaje de tipo técnico y utilitario.

A Psicomotricidade ao incutir um olhar global e integrador sobre as diversas dimensões do desenvolvimento do individuo, permite uma união entre a expressão corporal e a atividade mental. A relação corpo-psique constrói-se ao longo da nossa existência, mais ou menos harmoniosamente, e a nossa imagem do corpo evolui num movimento de integração de experiências de vida, numa combinação de três tempos: passado, presente e futuro (Potel, 1999).

Abstract: The Islamic-based economic sector has recently increased significantly. It includes culinary, Islamic finance, insurance, fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, entertainment, and tourism sectors. They occupy the concept of halal in every its product. One of the economic sector of Islam which has growth significantly is lifestyle products in the syariah tourism sector. The tourism business is certainly very closely related to the accommodation business, particularly the hospitality commerce. This study aims to scrutinize the projection of Tourism Potential Development which applied Sharia concepts in Indonesia. The results of this present study indicates that: firstly, sharia hotels is an accommodation service adheres to the principles of Islamic teaching guidelines. Secondly, `some authorities stated that the development of sharia hotels in Indonesia is still dawdling, although the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has issued requirement standard for syariah labeling to the hospitality business. However, the form and stage for management of this sharia system is still uncertain. As a result, many sharia hotel businessmen are intended to implement their own concept and do not legalize it. This lead to the low quality of management. It is suggested that sharia hotels should be supported by such Sharia Supervisory Board.Abstrak: Sektor ekonomi berbasis Islam akhir-akhir ini meningkat secara signifikan, Sektor tersebut diantaranya kuliner, keuangan Islam, industri asuransi, fashion, kosmetik, farmasi, hiburan, dan pariwisata. Dimana keseluruhan sektor itu mengusung konsep halal dalam setiap produknya. Sektor ekonomi Islam yang telah mengalami pertumbuhan yang signifikan dalam produk lifestyle di sektor pariwisata adalah pariwisata syariah. Industri pariwisata tentunya sangat berhubungan erat dengan bisnis akomodasi, khususnya bisnis perhotelan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menelaah tentang Proyeksi Potensi Pengembangan Pariwisata Perhotelan Dengan Konsep Syariah Di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: pertama, hotel syariah merupakan suatu jasa akomodasi yang beroperasi dan menganut prinsip- prinsip pedoman ajaran Islam. Kedua, menurut penulis perkembangan hotel syariah di Indonesia masih terlalu lambat bahkan dapat dikatakan stagnan, meskipun Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) telah mengeluarkan standarisasi label syariah kepada bisnis perhotelan, namun bentuk dan tahapan pengurusan format syariah ini masih belum jelas adanya. Dampaknya, banyak pebisnis hotel syariah yang lebih mengimplementasikan konsep hotel syariah mereka dengan berdasarkan aturan-aturan Islam, dan tidak melegalkan bisnis mereka sehingga kualitas pengelolaan dan pengoperasiaannya kadang masih belum maksimal oleh karena itu, hotel syariah sebaiknya didukung oleh semacam Dewan Pengawasan Syariah (DPS).

National strategic development of the state: concept and meaning
Authors: Belov Alexander
Published: December 2018

Strategic planning of socio-economic state development in Ukraine is at the stage of forming. After independence, Ukraine refused the state long-term planning. State development took place in tactical and operational regimes. There were attempts to develop development programs for a longer period, but these programs remained largely unrealized. Thus, the problem of ensuring the national strategic development of Ukraine that allows overcoming the crisis and increasing the competitiveness of its economy on the world market, has occurred as important issue. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of the concept of national strategic development To achieve this the evolution of the concept of "strategy" and modern scientific classification approach to its definition, the meaning of the concept of "development" and the concept of "national strategy" was created, which is strengthening the position on the world stage. If the opposite happens, then such a strategy should be considered as anti-national. The author's classification of types of national strategic development of the state is developed. The meaning of the national strategic development of the state with the help of such a category as its potential is revealed. The system of potentialities of the economic system is considered and it is proved that the core of the national strategic development in a post-industrial society is the state scientific and technical potential. Strategic development, which is in creating the state's economy on the strong scientific and technical potential, when science moves from the scope of the nonprofit sector, or how it is positioned in the state strategy 2015 - as the "pride" of Ukraine, in the category of important productive force of economy, the achievement of its integration into production is able to provide a high level of productivity, and therefore a high standard of living, significant GDP per capita GDP ratios and standard of living, quality of life, etc.
Pressures imposed by energy production on compliance with China's ‘Three Red Lines’ water policy in water-scarce provinces
Authors: Liao Xiawei , Ming Jing
Published: December 2018

In 2015, 16.52 km3 of water was consumed for energy production in China, of which coal production, thermoelectric power and coke used 57.7%, 28.8% and 6.2%, respectively. Most water is consumed in China's northern (north and northwest) provinces where water is scarce and energy production's impact on water resources is further intensified in the north when this water scarcity is taken into account. The top five provinces with the largest consumption of scarce water by energy production are predominantly concentrated in the North China Plain. In 2015, nine provinces did not meet their Industrial Water Efficiency Improvement targets set by the ‘Three Red Lines’ water policy. Of these nine, five provinces (Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Xinjiang and Ningxia) are located in northern regions and face severe water stresses. Water consumed by energy production occupied more than 20% of the Industrial Water Allowances (IWAs) that were allowed by the ‘Three Red Lines’ policy in all five provinces. In Shanxi, energy consumption exceeded more than three times its IWA. Our findings underscore that energy production imposes severe pressure on water-scarce provinces' compliance with the ‘Three Red Lines’ policy and thus suggest a necessity to coordinate cross-sectoral policies, planning and investments.
Mapping the summer 2017 surface water circulation of Picton Bay, ON
Authors: Shore J. A. , Snell P.
Published: December 2018

On March 24, 2017, a fuel spill from a partially submerged barge in Picton Bay contaminated the source water for the drinking water supply of the local township. Immediately after the spill, management decisions regarding the water intake plant operations were made based on contaminant observations and projected wind conditions. From a management perspective, it is essential to understand all the dynamical forcing for a system to direct the best decision-making but, unfortunately, there are no historical observations of currents in Picton Bay or any in-depth numerical modelling studies that have established the circulation patterns or hydrodynamics of the bay. This paper presents observations of surface speeds and drifter pathways collected using Lagrangian drifters and compares the observations to the velocity field estimates from a wind forced three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. Surface drifters were deployed from July to September and moved southwest into the bay during each deployment with almost no tendency to turn and drift out of the bay. Model simulations indicated that currents in the bay are sensitive to small-scale local winds and that a boundary current exists that connects the spill site to the area of the water intake pipes in wind conditions that are to the southwest or southeast.
Educando en la frontera norte de Chile: El patrimonio cultural desafiando la exclusión social
Authors: Marín-Alaniz Jair
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es comprender el contexto de exclusión social que enfrentan los niños y niñas de las familias migrantes que residen en Chile, así como el uso del patrimonio cultural inmaterial que utilizan en los espacios escolares para avanzar hacia la inclusión social. Desde una metodología cualitativa, la muestra fue integrada por profesores y un equipo psicosocial, quienes trabajan en una escuela pública. La técnica empleada para la recolección de información fue el grupo focal y para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el análisis de contenido. Los resultados revelan una geografía de la exclusión social que se expresa en el contexto barrial, laboral y escolar. Sin embargo, se identifica también la valoración del patrimonio cultural inmaterial como herramienta para avanzar hacia la inclusión social.
Espectro da exclusão e da fome
Authors: Junior Valdemar Valente
Published: December 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo desenvolver uma análise crítica acerca da exclusão social em Vidas secas, de Graciliano Ramos. Diante disso, enfocamos um recorte específico a partir do que o romance representa como um dos pontos mais elevados do que se convencionou chamar de segunda geração modernista. Por sua vez, buscamos relacionar o contexto social do Nordeste brasileiro, marcado pela escassez de bens, em decorrência de longas estiagens, com a economia lexical que resulta em exemplo claro da concisão do que nesta obra se configura como seu elemento de maior significado. Por esse meio, há que se refletir acerca no aproveitamento das conquistas estéticas do Modernismo que amadurecem, por conta de uma narrativa que passa a questionar o lugar do homem no âmbito de uma sociedade que busca superar a situação de atraso secular servindo-se na literatura como tema social e tomada de consciência crítica acerca do dilema brasileiro.
