À margem da história e da sociedade: a construção da cidadania e situação social dos afrodescendentes após a abolição da escravidão no Brasil
Authors: De Oliveira Araly Cristina , De Oliveira Hamilton Afonso
Published: August 2019

Utilizando-se de pesquisas bibliográficas e informações de documentos censitários, o presente artigo pretende fazer uma reflexão crítica de como se deu o processo de construção da cidadania e sua correlação com a formação do Estado liberal de direito e como estas ideias foram sendo assimiladas pelas elites brasileiras e sua adaptação à realidade brasileira marcada pela concentração da terra, riqueza e escravidão. Apontar que a abolição da escravidão (em 1888) e o advento do Estado republicano (em 1889) não garantiram a igualdade de direitos civis entre os diferentes grupos socioeconômicos existentes no Brasil, sobretudo para a população afrodescendente, que mesmo após a abolição continuou a viver à margem da História e da sociedade sem a garantia de direitos básicos essenciais como: acesso a empregos dignos, à propriedade, moradia e a uma educação escolar que promovesse a autonomia e conquista da liberdade e cidadania plena.

Gênero, território e decolonialidade: experiências e perspectivas no Brasil
Authors: Azevedo Natália Tavares , Torres Katya Regina Isaguirre , Borba Carolina Dos Anjos
Published: August 2019

Nas últimas décadas, no Brasil e em toda a América Latina, tem se observado uma intensificação de conflitos territoriais e socioambientais envolvendo comunidades tradicionais, camponeses, povos originários e outros grupos que têm em sua territorialidade condição fundamental para reprodução da vida. Tal intensificação decorre dos modelos hegemônicos de ‘desenvolvimento’ que têm sido historicamente impostos à América Latina, expressão da colonialidade do poder constitutiva do sistema-mundo moderno/colonial/capitalista/patriarcal (GROSFOGUEL, 2008), baseado na classificação social, hierarquização e subalternização racial, de gênero e de classe (QUIJANO, 2005). Em sua face atual, este sistema-mundo e sua matriz global de poder, com sua divisão internacional do trabalho, põe em marcha práticas neoextrativistas em todo o continente latino-americano. Nesse ‘modelo de desenvolvimento’ são impulsionados empreendimentos ligados à produção de commodities da mineração e do agronegócio, além de obras de infraestrutura viária e energética de suporte à essas atividades (MACHADO ARÁOZ, 2011; MANRIQUE, 2015; MERCHAND ROJAS, 2016).

FLÁVIO SUPLICY DE LACERDA: ALIADO DAS FORÇAS ARMADAS E COMBATENTE CONTRA COMUNISTAS E ESTUDANTES
Authors: Campos Névio De , De Souza Eliezer Felix
Published: August 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir a relação de Flávio Suplicy de Lacerda com as representações e as práticas sociais das forças armadas brasileiras, particularmente com o governo militar (1964-1985), assim como a ofensiva dele contra os comunistas e a organização estudantil. Apoia-se nos órgãos da imprensa, nas atas do Conselho Universitário e nos relatórios e discursos publicados no Anuário da Universidade Federal do Paraná, assim como no conceito de trajetória definida por Pierre Bourdieu, ao cotejar esse conceito com os dados oriundos das fontes é possível sustentar que esta personagem promoveu uma série de ações que evidenciam sua relação orgânica com o pensamento e as práticas autoritários, pois, recorrentemente, afirmava que o marxismo e/ou comunismo seriam subversivos aos valores éticos e morais e destacava que a cruzada salvacionista estaria sob a responsabilidade dos grupos associados à ditadura civil-militar que se definiam como representantes abnegados dos valores supremos
FOUCAULT E A RUPTURA COM A REPRESENTAÇÃO
Authors: Jourdan Camila
Published: August 2019

O artigo apresenta os elementos da ruptura de Foucault com o paradigma da representação, entendendo que tal ruptura também o aproxima da tradição anarquista. Para tanto, são revisadas as posições de Foucault sobre a relação entre teoria e prática; sua abordagem da linguagem enquanto discurso e sua noção de acontecimento. Desta forma, a Filosofia de Foucault é caracterizada como libertária exatamente na medida em que rompe com o papel fundante da representação e com tudo que se segue deste.

Para tal, investigamos o histórico político familiar e a distribuição dos votos nas últimas eleições 2018. Como hipótese, artigo admite que a estrutura familiar dos presidentes conta para as estratégias políticas dentro dos partidos no Paraná. Os resultados deste estudo apontam para o fato de que possuir um histórico político e familiar significativo para a conquista da presidência de partidos políticos, independentemente do âmbito em que se dispute a eleição (diferentes cargos: âmbito estadual/federal).
USO DO RESÍDUO DE SILÍCIO DA PRODUÇÃO DE SEMICONDUTORES NAS CULTURAS AGRÍCOLAS
Authors: Brejão Antônio Sérgio , Vendrametto Oduvaldo , Balsamo Paulo José , Teixeira Elisabeth Pelosi , Irazusta Silvia Pierre
Published: August 2019

Estudos indicam que o silício é um mineral que pode ser usado no controle de algumas pragas, bem como proporcionar aumento na produção e na qualidade de algumas culturas agrícolas. Este trabalho, propõe o uso de lodo residuário da operação de corte de lâminas de silício da produção de semicondutores, como substrato/co-produto na agricultura. Experimentos preliminares foram conduzidos realizando-se a semeadura de sementes de girassol e de feijão a fim de se avaliar o desenvolvimento das plantas em misturas de lodo da Estação de Tratamento de efluentes (ETE) e terra vegetal. Avaliou-se, ainda, a toxicidade terrestre deste resíduo, no bioensaio com minhocas, Eisenia andrei. Apesar de serem preliminares, os resultados de germinação destes experimentos apontam para o potencial benefício do resíduo de silício para a germinação e o desenvolvimento normais das espécies estudadas. O lodo apresentou também, como característica, a capacidade de retenção de umidade, que foi maior que a amostra de terra controle somente. O teste de toxicidade foi negativo, tanto para a mortalidade, quanto para a mobilidade dos organismos, atestando a inocuidade do resíduo.

Authors: Costa Pereira Lucimar , Viana Balbino Maycon , Do Socorro Nascimento Farias Nayara , Saraiva Viana Lorena , Da Rocha Xavier Maria Renata , Lima Correa Denison , Lima da Silva Tulio Marcus
Published: August 2019

Um importante mecanismo envolvido no avanço da urbanização é a substituição de áreas de vegetação por equipamentos urbanos, ação que se torna mais crítica nas periferias, onde a execução do planejamento urbano e a manutenção das condições de conforto e qualidade ambiental tendem a ser mais deficientes. Dado isto, esta pesquisa objetivou aplicar a técnica de uso de drone para mapear e quantificar a cobertura vegetal em três loteamentos periféricos localizados na cidade Paragominas-PA, de modo a avaliar a proporção de cobertura vegetal em cada um, determinar o Índice de Cobertura Vegetal por Habitante (ICVH) para cada loteamento e analisar a distribuição espacial desta vegetação. Para tanto, realizou-se um levantamento aéreo de imagens com utilização de drone, a serem posteriormente processadas para extração da máscara de cobertura vegetal nos softwares Agisoft Photo Scan e ArcMap 10.1. Foram verificados percentuais e índices de cobertura vegetal por habitante de 13,26% e 5,05 m2/hab para o loteamento Laércio Cabeline, 8,16% e 3,30 m2/hab para o Jardim Atlântico e 5,57% e 10,28 m2/hab para o loteamento Ouro Preto.  Observou-se também que a maior parte da vegetação presente nas áreas em estudo fica localizada em quintais, distribuídos por todo o espaço mapeado. O Uso do drone possibilitou um levantamento satisfatório da cobertura vegetal.

Authors: Yokota Rosa , Rosa Jéssica Rodrigues
Published: August 2019

Neste artigo, apresentamos algumas reflexões sobre a tradução de HQs a partir da análise da tradução de uma tira dos personagens Calvin e Haroldo, de Bill Watterson. A tira original está em inglês e as traduções, em espanhol e português.  Apesar de considerar as Modalidades de Tradução, de Aubert (1998), que focalizam o produto linguístico, aborda-se o texto como junção do desenho com o material linguístico, o contexto de circulação das traduções e os efeitos de sentido produzidos pelos elementos não verbais. Serão destacados: um aspecto sintático, o sujeito oracional, e as mudanças de sentido presentes nos textos traduzidos.
RAÇA E RESISTÊNCIA AO RACISMO EM ATIVIDADES DE LÍNGUA INGLESA NO SUL DA BAHIA
Authors: Nascimento Gabriel
Published: August 2019

Este trabalho trata do uso de atividades que abordam questões raciais nas aulas de língua inglesa na Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia (UFSB). Sendo uma instituição nova, a UFSB tem, em seu primeiro ciclo, disciplinas de língua inglesa que permitem desenvolver o aprendizado da oralidade junto com a leitura e escrita. Neste artigo tomamos como base os estudos já realizados sobre identidades sociais no ensino de línguas, e a perspectiva racial que engloba o sentido de raça enquanto signo de resistência. Do ponto de vista metodológico, este trabalho traz dados de uma pesquisa que teve como corpus as atividades realizadas pelos estudantes por meio da proposição de textos e temas pelo professor/pesquisador sobre a questão racial na região. Os dados revelam manifestações dos estudantes que debatem e contextualizam o racismo, a partir dos textos estudados, e através das questões raciais na própria região, de maneira que eles se interessaram mais pela língua inglesa no processo e puderam abordar aspectos que fazem parte do seu cotidiano
Antonio Candido: intérprete do Brasil
Authors: Malta Marcio
Published: August 2019

O objetivo da presente proposta é investigar a contribuição do pensador Antonio Candido como um intérprete do Brasil. Geralmente associado tão somente ao campo da crítica literária, Candido tem profícua produção na área do pensamento social brasileiro. Sua trajetória o habilita como um autor engajado e com um projeto de nação para o Brasil. As credenciais do autor são inúmeras, porém será dado destaque à sua produção no campo das ciências sociais, tais como, por exemplo, seu texto intitulado “Radicalismos”; o já clássico prefácio para o livro “Raízes do Brasil” de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e sua tese de doutoramento “Parceiros do Rio Bonito”. A pesquisa irá conjugar fontes primárias com referenciais bibliográficos sobre o tema em questão.
Capitalismo Gore no Brasil: entre farmacopornografia e necropolítica, o golden shower e a continência de Bolsonaro
Authors: Junior Ribamar José de Oliveira
Published: August 2019

Neste texto, busco utilizar o conceito de capitalismo gore para pensar a violência de gênero no cenário político após a posse de Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), em 2019, no Brasil. Acredito que o mandato do Presidente, em relação à violência decorativa e às estratégias de biomercado, pode exacerbar, por meio da tentativa de acompanhar as lógicas neoliberais, práticas gore na política brasileira, principalmente, no contexto da legitimidade da violência de gênero a partir do argumento ideológico da moral. Nesse sentido, procuro perceber nuances entre o regime farmacopornográfico e a necropolítica a partir de uma coreografia do modelo masculinista de Estado. O golden shower pode ter sido o efeito placebo de uma possível era pós-sexual, ainda não iniciada, tida como um efeito secundário da indústria farmacopornográfica. O conservadorismo do seu mandato sintoniza com as normativas do regime sexual disciplinar do século XIX, ou seja, parece que ele ainda não sabe que a invenção da Pílula e a masturbação se tornaram uma fonte de produção de capital. Enquanto isso, Bolsonaro parece operar na via utópica mais próxima de uma “Disney heterossexual-land”.
O paradoxo do camaleão: identidade e modernidade líquida segundo a análise de Zygmunt Bauman
Authors: Silva Jéssica Soares , Silva Lucas Ariel Azeredo Sales Gama e
Published: August 2019

O objetivo precípuo deste presente artigo é examinar o processo de construção e manutenção da identidade social do indivíduo diante dos desafios fragmentadores do mundo líquido pós-moderno presente na análise e descrição sociológica a obra do polonês Zygmunt Bauman. O mecanismo de construção identitária é estudado a partir de profunda pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os escritos do autor e de outros influentes sociólogos que contribuíram para a estudo da problemática. A compreensão central está pautada na identidade como um processo ambivalente que oferece liberdades, amplitudes de ação e pluralidades e ao mesmo tempo produz uma imensa sensação de angústia no indivíduo líquido moderno. Para tal intento, cria-se a alegoria do camaleão social como um ser que reconfigura seus atributos e identidades à medida em que o contexto assim o exige.Temas como sociedade de consumo, papéis sociais e globalização perpassam a proposição fundamental.

A proposta do presente artigo é compreender como a identidade religiosa perpassa os campos normativos e racionais da esfera pública. Enalteceremos assim, a Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) e os seus contornos políticos partidários. Em que se objetiva tratar do modus operandi político da IURD, prefigurando os pleitos disputados pelopolítico e bispo licenciado da Igreja Universal, Marcelo Crivella, em suas sucessivas campanhas para o executivo fluminense e carioca: 2004, 2006,2008, 2014; antes de sua vitória em 2016. Demonstrando a presença/circulação indiscutível do religioso em busca de eficácia política, que gera um adensamento em discursos político-religiosos como fonte de capital social.
A violência sistêmica e autoexplorativa do empresário de si: o paradoxo da liberdade no ethos neoliberal e o adoecimento psíquico na sociedade do cansaço
Authors: Henrique Corrêa Laura
Published: August 2019

O ethos neoliberal está presente na economia, nas relações sociais, e também em nosso corpo, nas nossas mentes. Essa maneira de ser que na contemporaneidade deixa de ser repressiva e torna-se produtiva, nos afeta e nos constitui. Nesse contexto o presente estudo pretende estabelecer aproximações sobre as exigências laborais na contemporaneidade e o adoecimento psíquico. Para alcançar esse objetivo será elaborado um ensaio teórico com base no pensamento do filósofo Michel Foucault e seus desdobramentos contemporâneos. Como procedimento metodológico utilizou-se a revisão de literatura, buscando dar notícia de como constituímos a maneira de ser (ethos) em uma organização social que privilegia vertentes de mercado (neoliberal) pela produção de novos corpos dóceis autoexplorativos (empresariamento de si). Esse delineamento leva a uma hipótese de liberdade como objeto de consumo (paradoxo), a desconsideração dos padrões condicionantes da ação humana (violência sistêmica) que podem estabelecer bases para o adoecimento psíquico através do esgotamento e exaustão dos trabalhadores em uma sociedade que exige desempenho constante.
Thoracic epidural analgesia vs. intravenous analgesia after lung transplant
Authors: G Enten , S Puri , K Patel , Z Stachura , E Schwaiger , P Patel , G Melloni , Camporesi Enrico M
Published: August 2019

Objective: Few reports have evaluated postoperative continuous thoracic epidural analgesia on patients who received a lung transplant. This analgesic modality may facilitate extubation, early ambulation, and achieve adequate pain control with minimization of opioid use. An opioid sparing technique could minimize the side effects of opioids such as ileus, constipation, and somnolence.Methods: A retrospective chart review following local IRB approval was performed. A total of 97 patients’ charts were collected, from April 2015 to March 2017. Forty-eight patients received T6-7 epidural, and forty-nine patients received standard intravenous (IV) analgesia. Outcome measures collected included length of intensive care unit stay, total duration of hospitalization, need for reintubation or noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), need for IV lidocaine gtt, and total narcotics consumption during hospitalization in milligrams of morphine equivalents (MME).Results: Both groups were comparable in age, BMI, and race/gender distribution. Additionally, patient pain requirements were comparable between groups. However, a significantly smaller proportion of thoracic epidural patients required NIPPV post-operatively, (20.4%, 53.2%: p = .0015). Further, the number of patients requiring reintubation was almost halved, (12.5%, 21.3%: NS). Patients receiving thoracic epidural also experienced shorter ICU times (p = .0335) and on average, an overall reduced length of stay by six days.Conclusions: For patients undergoing lung transplant, epidural analgesia is a viable alternative to IV pain control. Further, it significantly reduced respiratory depression and length of stay in the ICU. More refined comparisons can be made by conducting a precise prospective study with a more structured protocol in place.

Published: August 2019

Caring and curiosity are fundamental to learning and working well with others. Individuals who are both caring andcurious have empathetic curiosity and want to know about other people and take the initiative to learn aboutperspectives, needs, and goals of those around them. Empathetic curiosity can be enhanced through activities inschools. The goal of our project was to determine teachers’ perceptions and practices associated with teaching andlearning caring and curiosity. The data we collected from 183 K-12 teachers revealed positive perceptions ofteaching caring and curiosity. We found that the instructional methods used to teach caring shifted with the curricularcontent. Our research also revealed that the focus of curiosity changed when the teaching concentrated on contentrather than the instruction method. The teachers relatively limited focus on caring for others when teaching caringsuggests that they may not be considering empathetic curiosity as a learning goal. Based on our findings we interpretour results and provide implications for teaching and learning.
Bedside clinicians retain nurses through turnover analysis and best practices
Authors: Hawthorne-Spears Nina , Shepherd Mary
Published: August 2019

The nursing shortage is projected to grow to well over 500,000 by 2020. Health care organizations are faced with increasing vacancies, mandating that strategic initiatives be developed to address the imperative of retaining their registered nurses (RNs). The implications for reducing RN turnover include improved safety and quality outcomes for patients. RN turnover also has financial implications. The average annual hospital cost of RN turnover is between $5.2 and $8.1 million dollars. Houston Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center is a large, 1,200-bed metropolitan facility that employs over 3,000 nurses. By using shared governance to engage bedside clinicians and the ADKAR change model, nurse leaders were able to reduce organizational RN turnover from 16.39% to 10.57%, outperforming the national average and the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s benchmark for Magnet facilities with greater than or equal to 700 beds. This article will discuss the role of nurse leaders in creating a culture of retention, methods that were implemented at Houston Methodist Hospital to engage and empower beside clinicians to assume a lead role in reducing RN turnover, and the best practices discovered and implemented by bedside clinicians to improve RN turnover.
Outcome Tools in Pediatric Foot and Ankle Patients: Comparing Child and Parent Scores
Authors: Tipton C. Cody , Bompadre Viviana , Mattioli-Lewis Tressa , Bouchard Maryse
Published: August 2019

Introduction:

The Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C) is validated for assessing the impact of foot and ankle conditions in pediatric patients. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to assess child-parent concordance and identify patient factors that predict improved agreement.

Methods:

Patients aged 8 to 16 years with foot and ankle conditions and their parents completed the OxAFQ-C during routine clinic visits over a 9-month period. Demographic and medical information was collected by chart reviews. Responses in each domain were compared using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the comparisons of responses by sex were analyzed with Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Concordance was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients.

Results:

There were 87 child-parent dyads with 50 female patients (57.5%) and 37 male patients (42.5%). Most parent responders were mothers (84%). The mean patient age was 12.4 (±2.2) years. The most common diagnosis was pes planus (17%). Child scores were significantly higher than their parents' in the school and play (P = 0.008) and emotional (P = 0.001) domains. When stratified by age, children younger than 13 years had significantly higher scores than their parents across all domains (P = 0.015 physical, 0.002 school and play, 0.001 emotional), although the concordance for the school and play and emotional domains was only moderate (0.73 and 0.58, respectively). Female patients and their parents reported significantly lower scores compared with their male counterparts only in the emotional domain (84.37 vs 93.75, P = 0.025).

Conclusion:

Concordance is good between child and parent scores of the OxAFQ-C for assessing the impact of foot and ankle conditions. When stratified by age, patients younger than 13 years of age had higher scores than their parents' in all domains with the lowest concordance for the school and play and emotional domains. Female patients and their parents reported significantly lower scores than their male counterparts in the emotional domain.

Criteria for Recognition of AI as a Legal Person
Authors: Dremliuga Roman , Kuznetcov Pavel , Mamychev Alexey
Published: August 2019

This question of AI legal personhood is mostly theoretical today. In article we try to generalize some common ways that existing in legal theory and practice. We analyze some cases of recognition of untypical legal persons as well enacted statements in Europe and USA. Readers will not find a detailed methodology in the paper, but rather a list of criteria that is helpful to make a decision on granting legal personhood.

Practices of European Union and the United States indicate that common approaches to the legal personality of some kinds of AI are already developed. Both countries are strongly against legal personhood of intellectual war machines. Liability for any damage of misbehavior of military AI is still on competence of military officers. In case of civil application of AI there are two options. AI could be as legal person or as an agent of business relations with other legal persons. Every legal person has to be recognized as such by society. All untypical legal persons have wide recognition of society. When considering the issue of introducing a new legal person into the legal system, legislators must take into account the rights of already existing subjects. Policy makers have to analyze how such legal innovation will comply with previous legal order, first of all how it will affect the fundamental rights and freedoms of the human beings. The legal personhood of androgenic robots that can imitate human behavior regarded in paper as a good solution to minimize illegal and immoral acts committed with their involvement. It would be a factor that keep people from taking action against robots very similar to people. Authors conclude that key factors would be how society will react to a new legal person, how changing of legal rules will affect legal system and why it is necessary. At least all new untypical legal persons are recognized by society, affects of the legal system in manageable way and brings definite benefits to state and society.
Salvaging Pascal’s Wager
Authors: Jackson Elizabeth , Rogers Andrew ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2019

Many think that Pascal’s Wager is a hopeless failure. A primary reason for this is because a number of challenging objections have been raised to the wager, including the “many-gods” objection and the “mixed strategy” objection. We argue that both objections are formal, but not substantive, problems for the wager, and that they both fail for the same reason. We then respond to additional objections to the wager. We show how a version of Pascalian reasoning succeeds, giving us a reason to pay special attention to the infinite consequences of our actions.
The Phenomenological Moral Argument
Authors: Ashbach Jonathan ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2019

The moral argument for the existence of God is a popular and rhetorically effective element of natural theology, but both its traditional ontological and epistemological forms rely upon controversial premises. This article proposes a new variant—the phenomenological moral argument, or PMA—that is exclusively empirical in form. The PMA notes several empirical aspects of moral experience (seven are discussed in the version presented here) that cohere much more naturally with a theistic than with an atheistic account of conscience’s origins. It therefore concludes that divine creation best explains the nature of moral experience, and thus, that God exists.
Is Penal Substitution Unsatisfactory?
Authors: Craig William Lane ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2019

It might be objected to penal substitutionary theories that punishing Christ could not possibly meet the demands of divine retributive justice. For punishing another person for my crimes would not serve to remove my guilt. The Anglo-American system of justice, in fact, does countenance and even endorse cases in which a substitute satisfies the demands of retributive justice. Moreover, Christ’s being divinely and voluntarily appointed to act not merely as our substitute but as our representative enables him to serve as our proxy before God, so that when he is punished, we are punished, to the satisfaction of divine justice.
General Revelation and the God of Natural Theology
Authors: Shepardson Andrew I. ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2019

In Who’s Afraid of the Unmoved Mover? Postmodernism and Natural Theology, I defend natural theology against its postmodern evangelical detractors, including Myron Bradley Penner. Penner rejects natural theology because it attempts to ground knowledge of God in human reason, and he claims that my treatment of Acts 17:16–34 is fatal to my argument. However, Penner does not engage my explication of the doctrine of general revelation. The catastrophic effects that Penner perceives turn out to be only against a straw man of the version of natural theology that I defend.

In several recent articles and a monograph, Andrew Loke has outlined a particular model of the Incarnation, which he calls the Divine Preconscious Model (DPM). In this article I provide a critique of this model, drawing on recent work by James Arcadi in order to show that there are serious theological costs involved in adopting the DPM.

Undersøgende STEM undervisning med læringsplatforme - almendidaktisk infrastruktur til fagdidaktisk arbejde
Authors: Tamborg Andreas Lindenskov , Dreyøe Jonas , Gissel Stig Toke , Misfeldt Morten
Published: August 2019

Denne artikel undersøger, hvilke muligheder og begrænsninger der er for at planlægge undersøgende STEM undervisning i digitale platforme, og hvad der har betydning for dette. Det empiriske grundlag er to forløb, der er udviklet i samme læringsplatform, hvor det ene af disse forløb har været målrettet en undersøgende tilgang. Det teoretiske udgangspunkt for artiklen er instrumentel genese, som stammer fra kognitiv ergonomi, samt grundprincipper fra undersøgende undervisning. Artiklen viser, at dele af platformens design vanskeliggør muligheden for at tilrettelægge undervisningen med en undersøgende tilgang. Vi påviser samtidigt, at lærerne har mulighed for at kunne tilpasse platformene til deres ønsker og behov, men at det kræver, at lærerne gennem tydelige og artikulerede didaktiske principper og pædagogiske intentioner har opbygget resiliens for deres undervisningspraksis, herunder deres didaktiske valg.
Planlægning med platforme

Published: August 2019

Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan to lærere planlægger og gennemfører undervisning med læringsplatformen. Artiklen er udsprunget af et større forskningsprojekt og behandler interview af to dansklærere, der begge deltog i dette projekt. Disse interviews, der blev foretaget som stimulated recall interviews, udgør artiklens empiriske grundlag. Interviewene analyseres med afsæt i Fullan og Hargreave begreb professionel kapital og teori om samarbejde og fremanalyserer lærernes lærernes perspektiv på planlægning og samarbejde med læringsplatforme. I artiklen diskuterer vi, hvordan og i hvilket omfang læringsplatformene kan bidrage til at understøtte lokale samarbejdspraksisser, herunder intentionen om fælles forberedelse.
Structural plasticity of dendritic secretory compartments during LTP-induced synaptogenesis
Authors: Kulik Yelena D , Watson Deborah J , Cao Guan , Kuwajima Masaaki , Harris Kristen M

Long-term potentiation (LTP), an increase in synaptic efficacy following high-frequency stimulation, is widely considered a mechanism of learning. LTP involves local remodeling of dendritic spines and synapses. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and endosomal compartments could provide local stores of membrane and proteins, bypassing the distant Golgi apparatus. To test this hypothesis, effects of LTP were compared to control stimulation in rat hippocampal area CA1 at postnatal day 15 (P15). By two hours, small spines lacking SER increased after LTP, whereas large spines did not change in frequency, size, or SER content. Total SER volume decreased after LTP consistent with transfer of membrane to the added spines. Shaft SER remained more abundant in spiny than aspiny dendritic regions, apparently supporting the added spines. Recycling endosomes were elevated specifically in small spines after LTP. These findings suggest local secretory trafficking contributes to LTP-induced synaptogenesis and primes the new spines for future plasticity.

Aims: The aim was to evaluate the effect of watermelon rind addition on chemical and sensory properties of sorghum based mumu.

Study Design: The experimental design used was the complete randomized design (CRD) and the Data obtained was subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s Least Significant Difference(LSD) test to compare treatment means; differences was considered significant at 95% (P≤0.05) (SPSS Version 21 software).

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Chemistry, Benue State University, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria, between June 2018 and March 2019.

Methodology: Sorghum-based mumu was prepared from composite flours of 85:15, 75:15, 70:15 and 65:15% roasted sorghum flour and roasted partially defatted groundnut flour respectively and included with 0, 10, 15 and 20% watermelon rind powder respectively which were known as sample A, B, C and D accordingly and sample A was used as control. Subsequently, proximate composition, selected minerals and vitamins were determined using standard methods. Sensory evaluation was also conducted.

Results: The addition of watermelon rind powder to sorghum-based mumu showed a significantly higher (P < 0.05) on the protein, ash and fibre. Their values ranged from  13.67 to 15.97%, 1.99 to 3.17% and 1.33 to 1.67% respectively, while moisture, crude fat and carbohydrate decrease with values ranged from 12.35 to 10.70%, 2.07 to 1.94% and 68.59 to 66.55% respectively. The energy values ranged from 347 to 348.76 Kcal/100 g). The results obtained from different minerals tested ranged as follows for phosphorus (124.10 to 155.67mg/100g), for magnesium (1.36 to 2.90 mg/100 g), for calcium (12.28 to26.67 mg/100 g) and for potassium (59.29 to 72.79 mg/100 g). Vitamins ranged from A (14.93 to 15.25 ug/100 g), C (5.97 to 8.12mg/100g), B1 (0.43 to 0.54mg/100g) and B2 (0.01 to 0.13 mg/100 g). Sensory evaluation results showed that the acceptability of the samples decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with increased level of watermelon rind powder.

Conclusion: The sorghum -based mumu supplemented with watermelon powder at 10% and 15% should be adopted since their sensory scores were high and the nutrient content significantly increased.

Aims: This study investigated leaf epidermal features as taxonomic markers in delimiting two West African species (M. elegans and M. erythrophylla) and two Philippine infraspecific species (M. “Doña Aurora” and M.“Doña Luz”) of Mussaenda L. in Nigeria and their ecological significance.

Study Design: The experiment adopted a Completely Block Design (CBD) of four plant taxa from two study locations with 10 replicates each, totaling 80 samples.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, between June and September, 2010.

Methodology: Fresh leaves were collected from the Tropical Rainforest (TRF) and Derived Savanna (DS) vegetations of Nigeria under the same weather conditions. Leaf epidermal strips were prepared by clearing method, stained with Safranin and observed under the light microscope.

Results: The stomata are of the paracytic type borne on polygonal to irregularly shaped, wavy epidermal cells. Simple trichomes were also a common feature in all taxa. Mussaenda erythrophylla has significantly (P ˂ 0.05) the least dense stomata (84.51 ± 0.73 mm-2) while M. “Doña Aurora” has the densest stomata (230.98 ± 2.67 mm-2). M. elegans and M. “Doña Aurora” have significantly the highest stomata index (28.48% and 28.98% respectively) while M. “Doña Luz” has the lowest (24.31%). Samples from the TRF have significantly higher density, index and size of stomata in M. elegans and M. “Doña Luz” than those from DS. Quantitative trichome parameters also vary among the taxa. The fewest trichomes were observed in M. elegans (7.90 ± 0.14 and 11.75 ± 0.21) while they are most abundant in M. “Doña Luz” (11.77 ± 0.11 and 18.90 ± 0.51). Ecological conditions affected these variables as trichomes were more abundant in the specimens collected from DS locations.

Conclusion: Epidermal features are proven significant tools in taxonomic delimitation and as environmental indicators in predicting climatic changes and environmental pollution.

Published: August 2019

Aim: This study was carried out to assess the antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties of the extract and fractions of Annona senegalensis stem bark through in vitro and in vivo experimental models.

Study Design:  The study followed a completely randomized design (CRD) of groups of treatments and control samples for all the tests.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pharmacognosy and Environmental Medicines, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, between January and September 2016.

Methodology: Phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant activities using different models (reducing power, DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, Hydroxyl radical scavenging, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging, β-carotene bleaching, FRAP scavenging and superoxide radical scavenging assays) were carried out. In vivo antioxidant activity was determined from the assays of lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase and total protein while hepatoprotective activity was evaluated against CCI4 induced liver damage and elevated serum marker enzymes.

Results: The results showed that the extract and fractions of stem bark of A. senegalensis had appreciable amounts of total flavonoids (845.67±93.62 mg/g) and total phenols (866.67±8.41), and exhibited good antioxidant activities at higher concentrations. Doses of the extract and fractions administered at 400 mg/kg protected the CCI4–induced lipid peroxidation and significantly (P = .05) reduced the elevated serum marker enzymes - aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphate (ALP), and bilirubin level on a dose and solvent dependent fashion. At 200 and 400 mg/kg extract, the serum AST was reduced (by 40.34% and 45.66% respectively) as much as the MeOH fraction (43.88%) and control (43.44%), whereas EtOAc fractions gave significantly the best reduction (52.49%). The ethyl acetate fraction gave the best activity among all the fractions.

Conclusion: The results showed that the stem bark is a potential source of natural antioxidants and hepatoprotective agents, and justifies its use in traditional herbal practice.
The E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF182 inhibits TLR‐triggered cytokine production through promoting p65 ubiquitination and degradation

The activation of Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) leads to proinflammatory cytokine production, which is responsible for activating the innate immune system. Thus, TLR signaling is subject to multilayer regulatory control mechanisms that aim to prevent a protective response from causing injury. In the present study, we report that the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF182 is highly expressed in macrophages and is specifically upregulated by TLR stimuli (TLR4, TLR3 and TLR9 agonists). Knockdown of RNF182 selectively amplifies TLR signaling by promoting the production of proinflammatory cytokines but not type I interferons in macrophages. Mechanistically, RNF182 promotes the degradation of p65 via K48‐linked ubiquitination, resulting in the inhibition of TLR‐triggered innate immune responses. Our findings highlight a feedback‐negative mechanism for terminating TLR‐induced inflammation and maintaining the immunological balance.
Adolescent sexual aggressiveness and pornography use: A longitudinal assessment

The rising prevalence of (online) pornography use among, mostly male, adolescents revived social concerns regarding possible effects of pornography use on sexual aggressiveness. Given the paucity of longitudinal explorations of this link, this study focused on the following two research questions: (Q1) Is pornography use during middle to late adolescence related to male adolescents’ self‐reported sexual aggressiveness; and (Q2) can personality traits and characteristics that have been associated with sexual aggression account for this presumed link? Using data from a six‐wave panel sample of 594 male Croatian high‐school sophomore students (Mage at baseline = 15.8 years, SD = 0.52), latent class and latent growth curve modeling were employed to answer these questions. There was a significant baseline difference in the frequency of pornography use between participants who reported no or marginal levels of sexual aggressiveness during the period under observation (20 months) and their peers who reported substantial sexual aggressiveness, with the former reporting significantly lower initial levels of pornography use compared to the latter. Controlling for personality characteristics did not cancel this association. In addition, bullying and reported peer pressure significantly predicted initial levels of pornography use, but not its subsequent change. With the controls omitted from the analysis, a slight average increase in pornography use was observed among adolescents who reported no or lowest levels of sexual aggressiveness. In contrast, pornography use decreased somewhat among their peers who reported moderate sexual aggressiveness. Insights from this study can contribute to school‐based sexual violence prevention programs, as well as inform recently proposed pornography literacy programs which aim to assist adolescents in navigating the increasingly sexually explicit online environment.

2D Ruddlesden−Popper type perovskites have attracted enormous attention due to their natural multiquantum‐well structure. However, there is still mystery regarding the behavior of photocarriers, especially the exciton fine structure behind the excellent optoelectronic performance. The coexistence of two strikingly different decay components in time‐resolved photoluminescence is inconsistent with the high internal quantum yield (QYIN = ≈0.7) in the conventional model for radiative and nonradiative recombinations (QYIN = τnr/(τnr + τr) = 17%). Here it is revealed that there is a special transient energy reservoir outcompeting nonradiative loss in 2D Ruddlesden−Popper type perovskites. Upon optical excitation, the bright excitons rapidly relax into the low‐lying energy reservoir before nonradiative recombination occurs. Interestingly, the energy in the reservoir is not lost. The carriers in this energy reservoir can spontaneously transfer back to the bright states and can still effectively contribute to the photovoltaic and photonic properties of the perovskites. This investigation provides a novel insight into the mechanism for the lauded defect tolerance of 2D perovskites by highly efficient energy storage via a transient reservoir.
