Volto semana que vem
Authors: Santos Cristina Napp dos , Fonseca Cláudia Lorena Vouto da
Published: September 2022

O século XX na América Central e América Latina ficou marcado pelo autoritarismo advindo de governos ditatoriais que ascenderam ao poder em muitos países dessas regiões. No Brasil, o regime foi implantado a partir de 1964 e deixou um rastro de violências físicas e simbólicas que permanecem na contemporaneidade. O aniversário de cinquenta anos do golpe de Estado que colocou os militares no poder, aliado ao término dos trabalhos da Comissão Nacional da Verdade impulsionaram a produção de narrativas sobre o tema. Muitos desses autores que vêm sendo publicados nos últimos anos são mulheres que direta ou indiretamente foram afetadas pelos eventos pretéritos. Dentre a produção dessas mulheres, destacamos o romance de Maria Pilla, Volto semana que vem (2015a), que reúne memórias organizadas de forma desarranjada sobre sua infância, juventude, envolvimento com a militância e consequente exílio e prisão na Argentina. Embora o cárcere se caracterize como um espaço sombrio e de cerceamento da liberdade, Pilla foca nas relações estabelecidas com as companheiras de cativeiro e suas estratégias de sobrevivência. Assim, analisamos o tópico do registro das memórias que dizem respeito à resiliência feminina no cárcere. Nesse percurso, valendo-nos, principalmente, da pesquisa de Eurídice Figueiredo (2017) sobre o tema, refletimos brevemente a respeito da produção literária sobre a ditadura dos últimos anos; fazemos uma leitura do romance de Pilla; analisamos a questão da prisão feminina na narrativa e pensamos acerca do significado da obra no contexto em que foi produzida, compreendendo-a, como Figueiredo (2017) como uma possibilidade de arquivo do nosso passado ditatorial.
Numerical solution of a singularly perturbed boundary value problem of supersonic flow transformed to the modified best argument
Authors: Tsapko Ekaterina D.
Published: September 2022

When solving problems of aerodynamics, researchers often need to numerically solve singularly perturbed boundary value problems. In some cases, the problem can be reduced to solving a boundary value problem for an ordinary differential equation. Then it is possible to apply various numerical methods such as the grid method, the shooting method, as well as a number of projection methods, which, in turn, can form the basis of the finite element method. The grid method requires solving a system of algebraic equations, that are often nonlinear, which leads to an increase in the calculation time and to the difficulties in convergence of the approximate solution. According to the shooting method, the solution of boundary value problem is reduced to solving a certain set of Cauchy problems. When solving stiff Cauchy problems, implicit schemes are used as a rule, but in this case the same difficulties arise as for the grid method. The transformation of the problem to the best argument λ, calculated tangentially along the integral curve, makes it possible to increase the efficiency of explicit numerical methods. However, in cases where the growth rate of integral curves is close to exponential, the transformation to the best argument is not efficient enough. Then the best argument is modified in such a way as to smooth out this flaw. This paper investigates the application of modified best argument to the solution of the boundary value problem of an aerodynamic flow movement in case when the gas is injected at supersonic speed into a channel of variable cross-section.
Theoretical study of stability of nodal completely conservative difference schemes with viscous filling for gas dynamics equations in Euler variables
Authors: Ladonkina Marina E. , Poveshenko Yuri A. , Ragimli Orkhan R. , Zhang Haochen
Published: September 2022

For the equations of gas dynamics in Eulerian variables, a family of twolayer time-fully conservative difference schemes (FCDS) with space-profiled time weights is investigated. Nodal schemes and a class of divergent adaptive viscosities for FCDS with spacetime profiled weights connected with variable masses of moving nodal particles of the medium are developed. Considerable attention is paid to the methods of constructing regularized flows of mass, momentum and internal energy that preserve the properties of fully conservative difference schemes of this class, to the analysis of their stability and to the possibility of their use on uneven grids. The effective preservation of the internal energy balance in this class of divergent difference schemes is ensured by the absence of constantly operating sources of difference origin that produce “computational” entropy (including entropy production on the singular features of the solution). Developed schemes may be used in modelling of hightemperature flows in temperature-disequilibrium media, for example, if it is necessary to take into account the electron-ion relaxation of temperature in a short-living plasma under conditions of intense energy input.

Authors: ALVARADO BARBOZA MARCO ANTONIO
Published: September 2022

Los Centros Educativos Unidocentes (CEU) forman parte del sistema educativo costarricense y constituyen una estrategia relevante para ampliar la cobertura educativa en las zonas rurales y de difícil acceso. Para la gestión administrativa y curricular de los CEU el Ministerio de Educación Pública (MEP) designa a un docente, que no cuenta, necesariamente, con formación ni experiencia en el área de la administración de la educación. Ante esta situación, este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las debilidades y fortalezas que presentan estos docentes en el desarrollo de funciones administrativas y curriculares para la gestión de estos centros educativos unidocentes. El artículo se desarrolla a través de cuatro apartados: en el primero denominado introducción, se plantea la relevancia de los CEU como estrategia del SE para para ampliar la cobertura educativa en las zonas rurales y de difícil acceso. En el segundo apartado se establecen los fundamentos teóricos referentes a la gestión de los centros educativos unidocentes. En el tercer apartado se realiza un análisis de las fortalezas y debilidades en el área curricular y administrativa de los CEU y en el cuarto apartado se establecen las conclusiones finales.  Para ello, se realizó un cuestionario a todos los docentes encargados de CEU de la DRE de Cartago del MEP, así como entrevistas semiestructuradas a tres docentes de diferentes circuitos de la misma regional. Como hallazgos principales se destaca que este tipo de CEU tienen diferentes fortalezas y debilidades dependiendo del contexto donde se encuentren y de la propia gestión del docente encargado. Aspectos como la lejanía y el acceso, las condiciones socioeconómicas y educativas de la población estudiantil, la capacitación docente, el apoyo del supervisor y el excesivo recargo de funciones influyen para decidir si algunas categoría son consideradas como debilidad o fortaleza.

La consideración de aspectos como la comunicación institucional, la toma de decisiones y la aplicación de incentivos laborales, podría relacionarse de forma directa con el desempeño que tienen las personas docentes en sus diferentes funciones en un centro educativo. Aunque esta investigación no resulta suficiente para determinar un patrón general de comportamiento, sí puede establecer un punto de partida para generar una perspectiva, a nivel macro, de aspectos que se pueden estudiar con detalle y así estimar una línea de abordaje más amplia. Este trabajo analizó la incidencia de la gestión de los procesos de comunicación institucional, toma de decisiones y los incentivos laborales en el desempeño del personal docente en el Instituto de Educación Dr. Clodomiro Picado Twight. Su enfoque de investigación es cuantitativo. Los datos se obtuvieron a través de una entrevista semiestructurada aplicada a quienes se desempeñan en los puestos de dirección, subdirección y auxiliares administrativos del centro educativo en estudio. Además, se aplicó un cuestionario a los 102 docentes del colegio, recibiendo la respuesta de 91 de ellos, correspondiendo a un 90% del total de la población. La información recopilada permite determinar estadísticamente la influencia que tienen los tres aspectos  en estudio sobre el desempeño del profesorado en sus labores. Por lo que, a partir de los resultados emanados por la discusión de los resultados, se presentó una propuesta de intervención que busca fortalecer y apoyar a la gestión educativa en la mejora de estos tres ámbitos en el colegio en que se realizó la investigación.

This research uses qualitative research methods where the resulting source comes from observations and interviews and literature related to research. The results of this study give the understanding that qanaah is a form of gratitude for the efforts that have been made to pick up sustenance. In addition, qanaah is also interpreted as an attitude of acceptance towards all destiny and decrees from Allah Swt., and still accompanied by still trying and trying to get what we need. The Prosperous Family Development Institute is a container in which there are coaching programs as a form of service to pilgrims who want or are married.  LPKS provides guidance on how to become a human being who has good morals and provides tips on how to be a good household. As for the conclusion that can be drawn, the role of qanaah in dealing with economic problems in the household is very important, because with qanaah humans will always feel enough with what they have received so that it will minimize conflicts that occur in the household due to the absence of demands from both sides. This research recommends the importance of understanding and applying qanaah attitudes in family life in order to create a harmonious family.

Published: September 2022

This research is motivated by the importance of zuhud attitude in everyday life, especially in the boarding school environment. This study aims to examine the inculcation of zuhud and its implementation in the Al-Musyahadah Islamic boarding school. This study uses a qualitative approach and uses descriptive analysis methods. Zuhud is emptying the heart of the world's desire to always draw closer to Allah. Inculcating zuhud by growing understanding for students to accept all the provisions of Allah that comes to themselves. The implementation of zuhud can be distinguished from its characteristics, namely the nature and behavior of the zuhud person. This study concludes that at the Al-Musyahadah Islamic boarding school there is the inculcation of the attitude of zuhud as evidenced by the studies of books that discuss zuhud in the Al-Musyahadah Islamic boarding school such as Nashoihul Ibad, Sirr al-Asror, Al-Hikam and the implementation of zuhud from students of Al-Musyahadah Islamic boarding school can be seen from their daily lives such as having good morals in socializing and others. However, in practice there are still students who find it difficult to implement zuhud.
Actividades punibles y vigilancia episcopal ante la responsabilidad penal de los entes eclesiales
Authors: Puig Fernando
Published: September 2022

La personalidad jurídica civil de muchos entes eclesiales les hace potenciales sujetos de “responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas”. Partiendo de la especificidad canónica de los sujetos eclesiales se focaliza la principal finalidad político- criminal de esta forma de responsabilidad (que se proyecta principalmente sobre las empresas) y los delitos que podrían cometerse en un contexto eclesial (en especial los económicos y los de encubrimiento de abusos a menores). A la luz de estas consideraciones se postulan nuevas exigencias de vigilancia de las autoridades eclesiásticas y se esboza un modelo de organización y gestión (modelo de compliance) para evitar el encubrimiento de abusos a menores.
Advanced biped gait generator using NARX-MLP neural model optimized by enhanced evolutionary algorithm
Authors: Huan Tran Thien , Anh Ho Pham Huy
Published: September 2022

A novel biped walking pattern combining robust zero-moment-point ZMP technique and pre-determined foot-lifting value is proposed in this paper. The implementation of suggested approach contains following stages. Initially, a one-step ZMP curve for a small-sized humanoid is created using the 3rd-order interpolating equation, with pre-determined velocity responding the ZMP concept. The next step, biped gait planning is modeled as a non-linear MIMO plant including ten degree-of-freedom DOF. Then, the installation of a biped walking pattern generator (WPG) based on the new hybrid Neural-NARX model is completed. Eventually, the novel Enhanced Differential Evolution (EDE) technique is applied to optimally identify the weights of the hybrid Neural-NARX structure, for ensuring robust robot walking in terms of desired ZMP trajectories and pre-determined foot-lifting value. All case studies confirm that it is surely provide a biped WPG satisfying both of the effectiveness and high robustness. The verification of the newly proposed WPG is adequately tested via both simulation and experiment results.

Published: September 2022

This study investigated the effects of different PGRs on in vitro plant regeneration of Anthurium scherzerianum Schott and acclimatization in the ex vitro stage. Depending on the objective of each experiment, the in vitro shoots were induced from callus cultured on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing cytokinins and auxins. Results showed that 90% of leaf explants and 48% of petiole explants produced callus. A half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l Kinetin (KIN) gave the best result for shoot regeneration and 1.5 mg/l α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is suitable for rooting of A. scherzerianum. The culture vessel having a hole on the cap gave the best result on the growth of A. scherzerianum plantlets. After 90 days transferred to the greenhouse, in vitro plantlets which were cultivated on a mixed substrate of coconut fiber powder: rice husk ash: compost (6:3:1, respectively) had a better growth (shoot length of 8.88 cm, root length of 3.44 cm) than those on another mixed substrate of coconut fiber powder: compost (9:1, respectively).

Maize occupies a significant place in the world agriculture. Yellow kernel maize contains mainly non-provitamin A carotenoids: lutein and zeaxanthin. The accumulation of provitamin A carotenoids is regulated by favourable alleles of lcyE and crtRB1 genes and could be used for the enhancement of these carotenoids in the maize grain through breeding. In this study, molecular screening of the Romanian germplasm was performed, looking for favourable alleles of the crtRB1 and lcyE genes, and the level of carotenoids was determined in a few selected lines. A number of 2746 inbred lines from seven research stations were subjected to a PCR amplification of crtRB1 and lcyE genes in order to identify the favourable alleles. It was selected 27 lines carrying the favourable alleles and nine lines with unfavourable alleles (four groups in total), from which total carotenoids, lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, β-carotene and retinol equivalents were determined by HPLC. Out of 2746 inbred lines analysed, 23.53% contained one or both genes with favourable alleles. The favourable allele of the crtRB1 gene was the most widespread (584 lines), followed by the lcyE gene (55 lines), while alleles favourable for both genes were detected in only 7 lines. Inbred lines with the favourable allele of the crtRB1 gene showed the highest levels of β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin, while those with favourable allele of lcyE gene showed a high level of β-cryptoxanthin; the lines with favourable alleles for both genes had a level of β-carotene 60% higher than the lines with two unfavourable alleles.

Exploring the challenges and prospects of healthcare reporting in India's Hinterland
Authors: Nath Nayan Jyoti , Tamuli Gayatri
Published: September 2022

Differential access and utilisation of healthcare services are caused by multiple Social Determinants of Health (SDHs), which requires adequate and informed policy intervention. The mass media, mainly the news media, have been seen as a practical approach in communicating the health anomalies at the policy level. The comprehensive coverage of factors associated with the healthcare system can further lead to addressing inequalities in health. The study was aimed to identify the factors that act against effective reporting of healthcare news from peripheral regions of India. The qualitative method was employed to examine media professionals' persistent challenges and experiences in covering health-related disparities. Sixteen media professionals were interviewed during October 2019 employed in vernacular news agencies all across the north-eastern state of Assam, India. Three themes have emerged from the analysis covering health-related news and barriers to healthcare in the peripheral region and identifying health-related disparities. It is found that an effective reporting mechanism of the health news will positively influence the policymakers and undertake efforts to address the health-related disparities.

ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the prevalence and describe the main morphological and metric variations of the splenic artery in terms of its origin, path and polar and terminal branches. Methods: cross-sectional study, carried out at Hospital de Clínicas between July and November 2020. Computed tomography scans were analyzed with intravenous contrast of the patients seen at the Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging Service. The findings were categorized as to origin, path and splenic ramifications. Results: 1,235 patients were evaluated. As for the origin, the splenic artery appears in the celiac trunk in 99.11% of the individuals. Of these, 5.95% have a bifurcated celiac pattern, 92.17% trifurcated and 1.88% tetrafurcated. The mean arterial diameter was 5.92mm (±1.2), the highest one being in white men. As for the path, the splenic artery was unique in the entire sample. The suprapancreatic course was found in 75.63% of the individuals, with a higher occurrence in women, 78.87% (p<0.001). The terminal splitting pattern of the splenic artery was characterized by the bifurcated type (95.47%). The terminal branches seen most frequently were those with three arteries (34.90%) and most individuals did not have polar branches. Conclusion: the splenic artery presents a highly variable pattern of origin and its average caliber is influenced by sex and color. The suprapancreatic path was the most characteristic and predominant in females. The bifurcated pattern of final division, with three terminal branches and the absence of polar arteries, occurs more frequently.

The mortality rate recorded in the year before the pandemic was 0.11, while in the period of the pandemic, it was 0.20. Conclusion: It was observed that during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, the number of hospitalizations for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty was reduced by 55,21%. However, there was a significant increase in the mortality rate of this procedure. These results can be explained by the increase in mortality in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and also by the restriction of performing elective surgeries, prioritizing emergency situations, which are more complicated, and consequently, with higher mortality.

Abstract The aims of the present research was to find out the diversity of family Araneidae in district Swat Pakistan and to provide updated checklist of the family Araneidae from Pakistan. Also their occurrence throughout the year was given from District Swat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Data was collected from January 2018 to December-2018 from seven different Tehsils of District Swat by using different methods like pitfall trap, ground hand collection, air hand collection and were then preserved in plastic vials and appendorf tubes by using 70% ethanol. Camera mounted on microscope was used for photography. By using literature from World Spider Catalog, 2022, spiders were identified to species level. In a ttal of 1243 specimens of family Araneidae 4 genera and 7 species were identified. Dominant species with great number of specimen collected was Cyrtophora citricolla with 229 (18.4%) samples, followed by Bojaranius mitificus (15.7%), Neoscona Scylla (15.4%), Argiope lobata (14.8), Neoscona theisi (14.6%) and Neoscona polyspinippes (13.8%) respectively. While lowest collection was done of Argiope versicolor with 90 (7.3%) samples. High occurrence of spiders was studied during July 187 samples. Fluctuation in temperature can affect the diversity of spiders observed and recorded in present study with lowest collection done in low temperature. Moreover, the humidity also play a great role in spiders’ population and occurrence.
As vespas que caçam com seus dentes: Artefatos multiespécies, ritual e relações entre humanos e não humanos entre os Karitiana (Rondônia)
Authors: Velden Felipe Vander
Published: September 2022

Resumo Na interseção da etnologia indígena, a antropologia das relações humano-animais e os estudos sobre artefatos, este artigo analisa um ritual masculino entre os Karitiana, povo indígena Tupi-Arikém no sudoeste da Amazônia brasileira. O Osiipo consistia, sobretudo, no emprego de picaduras de uma variedade de vespas para a fabricação de caçadores. Os dados de que dispomos sugerem que os principais agentes dessa constituição da pessoa masculina eram os insetos, replicando nos homens suas qualidades de ferozes predadores e guerreiros. Nesse processo, destacava-se a presença de cintos de dentes de macaco, signos dos grandes caçadores, e que também são portados pelas vespas. A análise deste objeto específico - as fileiras de dentes de macaco - torna possível compreender como agências outras-que-humanas diversas se interpenetram no ritual que fabricava bons caçadores, cuja versão integral não é mais realizada. Tais artefatos multiespécies tornam-se, assim, expressões materiais privilegiadas para a investigação das interações dos Karitiana com muitos outros seres não humanos com os quais partilham o mundo.
Cartographies of Guarani translocations: The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
Authors: Mendes Júnior Rafael Fernandes
Published: September 2022

Abstract Over the course of the twentieth century, Guarani ethnology produced a series of works whose genesis can be traced back to the migrations registered by Curt Nimuendajú and published in his work of 1914. On the Atlantic coast, various chroniclers had registered similar phenomena, since the beginning of the European Conquest, among diverse indigenous groups that were generically denominated Tupi-Guarani. Since then, many anthropologists have proposed to establish a common thread between the Tupi-Guarani migrations and those of the Guarani, frequently attributing the same motives and objectives to both: to escape the destruction of the world and enter the land of the immortals while still alive. However, a detailed examination of the bibliography, as well as various documentary sources, calls any such connection into question. This article is a study of the multiple forms of translocation observed among the Guarani during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and subsequently during the nineteenth and twentieth. Its objective is to analyse and distinguish these forms of translocation: on one hand, the migrations toward the land without evil in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; on the other, the war expeditions, raids, slave captures, flights from the Spanish colonisers and Portuguese bandeirantes, and attractions to the Jesuit missions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
A invenção do progresso: Bye Bye Brasil e o espaço-tempo colonial
Authors: Macedo Eric Silva
Published: September 2022

Resumo No presente texto, a narrativa do filme Bye Bye Brasil (Carlos Diegues 1979) nos serve de guia para discutir uma noção de progresso que se propaga por contextos diversos, e que se torna particularmente saliente em certos momentos históricos. No que diz respeito ao processo de colonização da Amazônia, e da região de Altamira em particular, encaramos dois momentos-chave em que o conceito é mobilizado: a abertura da rodovia Transamazônica e, cerca de quarenta anos mais tarde, a construção da usina hidrelétrica de Belo Monte. Partindo do papel particular que a noção assume na colonização de Altamira, minha intenção é encarar a noção de progresso em um duplo aspecto: como uma forma de compreender e expressar a passagem do tempo em uma espécie de filosofia da história condensada e difusa e, por outro lado, como uma metáfora potente que associa o domínio do tempo ao da ação humana.

Resumo Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo definir os fatores que influenciam os acadêmicos de contabilidade na escolha de suas carreiras após a graduação. Existem duas lacunas nos estudos anteriores que tentamos cobrir neste estudo. Em primeiro lugar, os estudos anteriores se concentraram em apenas uma universidade ou uma região de um país. Em segundo lugar, eles examinaram apenas uma escolha de carreira específica, principalmente como contadores públicos. Este estudo foi realizado com acadêmicos indonésios de contabilidade e fez com que os entrevistados escolhessem suas carreiras no início e preenchessem o questionário com base nessas escolhas de carreira. O resultado deste estudo consiste nos fatores de escolha da carreira dos acadêmicos de contabilidade indonésios. Ao compreender tais fatores, este estudo proporciona maior conscientização e insights aos pais, aos professores universitários e às universidades para que preparem os acadêmicos para suas futuras carreiras. Os resultados implicam a necessidade de colaboração entre família e universidade. Por um lado, os pais não devem pressionar os acadêmicos a seguir determinada carreira, mas incentivá-los a escolher carreiras adequadas às necessidades e expectativas. Por outro lado, a universidade deve garantir que a qualidade dos graduados se adeque às necessidades e expectativas dos usuários de seus serviços. Os dados foram coletados por meio de levantamento on-line com a população de acadêmicos qie cursam o último ano de contabilidade na Indonésia. Participaram deste levantamento 358 entrevistados. Os dados foram submetidos a análise fatorial. O resultado desta pesquisa confirmou todos os fatores que determinam as escolhas de carreira dos acadêmicos de contabilidade. Esses fatores são valores sociais, recompensas, segurança no mercado de trabalho, reconhecimento profissional, ambiente de trabalho e família. Curiosamente, o fator familiar se divide em dois fatores: apoio familiar e ambiente familiar.

Published: September 2022

Surface modification is the science of manipulating surface morphology and interfacial properties and also plays a vital role in biomedical implantation. A few of the interfacial properties are biocompatibility, protein adsorption, wettability, cell proliferation, collagen, etc. These properties depend on surface modification strategies and significantly impact the implant response within the host body. Generally, the corrosion, surface wear, and degradation in the physiological environment limit the application of different biomaterials and can address through various surface modification strategies. These surface modifications developed over the years to improve the morphology and interfacial properties to meet the specific functional surface application in biomedical implantation. It can be done through surface roughening, patterning/texturing, coating with different materials, and hybrid modification. Further, the process development for bio-medical application, process capabilities, limitations, challenges, and characterization aspects are correlated to identify the effectiveness of different surface modification strategies. Finally, various innovative biomedical applications and surface characteristics are also present with future scope in the direction of surface modification for biomedical implantation.

Published: September 2022

In this study, the tensile strength, failure mechanism and ductile behaviour of geogrid-reinforced high-strength self-compacting concrete discs subjected to both the Brazilian tensile strength test and a biaxial compressive test are studied. To determine the combined effects of geogrid layer numbers and inclination angle on the ultimate tensile strength of concrete samples, 21 experiments were conducted with up to three layers of geogrids inclined at angles of 0° to 90°, at increments of 15°. In addition, discrete-element numerical simulations were conducted using two-dimensional particle flow code to examine the failure behaviour of geogrid-reinforced high-strength self-compacting concrete discs. The numerical models were first calibrated by the experimental results and then the failure behaviour of models containing geogrids was investigated. Both experimental and numerical results demonstrate that augmenting the concrete discs with geogrids increases the ductility of specimens, especially after failure. As the number of geogrid layers increased, the tensile strength of specimens also increased, whereas the tensile strength and absorbed energy were the same for specimens with different numbers of geogrid layers and inclination angles of 75° and 90°. The specimen with three horizontal geogrid layers had the highest tensile strength, biaxial compression strength and ductility of all specimens tested.
