As a result of the dissolution of some monasteries in 1819, the treasury of the Kingdom of Poland took over considerable land estates, including those belonging to the Cistercians in Koprzywnica. In itself, the seizure of this property was not the purpose of the state administration. They were supposed to provide a source of income for the Government Commission of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment. However, to maintain profitability at the appropriate level, it was necessary to provide funds for the modernization and expansion of these lands. Given the contemporary realities, the only source from which the necessary funds could be obtained was the Land Credit Society. The process of applying for a loan for the Koprzywnica estate, which the administration has gone through, perfectly reflects the requirements which those who had decided to apply to the LCS had to face. And all of this despite the fact, that these lands belonged to the state and the central authorities were also actively involved in the entire process. At the same time, when applying for a loan, all shortcomings arising from the fact that the state possessed these goods came to light. As the officials involved in obtaining the loan were not the owners of this property, and their behaviour was strictly defined by the legal framework in which they could operate, from the flow of correspondence between individual institutions there was a certain sluggishness and the expectation of lower instances for decisions of superiors. Nevertheless, obtaining such a significant loan and on such favorable terms can undoubtedly be considered a success of all officials involved. Importantly, this success was measurable and brought the prospect of an increase in the value of goods in the foreseeable future.
Fotografie rodziny Mierów i Jędrzejowiczów z zespołu „Archiwum Podworskie Mierów-Jędrzejowiczów w Staromieściu” w Archiwum Państwowym w Rzeszowie

According to archivists a photograph can be both an illustrative material and a historical source. But still there is no handbook which can describe all aspects connected with photograpfic documentation. In the State Archive in Rzeszów (complex “Archiwum Podworskie Mierów-Jędrzejowiczów w Staromieściu”) there is the small separated collection of photographies. They present: portrait photos (Tytus Jan Mateusz hrabia Mier, Henryka z Mierów Komorowska) and watches with a miniature portrait of Jan hrabia Mier; postcards with photos of military manoeuvres; the portrait photo (Lubina z Rogoyskich Mierowa) and a photo for official documents (Jan Feliks Jędrzejowicz). The family of Mier which had Scotish and Calvinist roots and the family of Jędrzejowicz of Armenian and merchant origin were connected by the marriage contracted in 1878 in Vienna between Adam Jędrzejowicz (1847–1924), the son of Jan Kanty and Maria (maiden name Straszewska) from Zaczernie and Gabriela Felicja (maiden name Mier) (1850–1939), the daughter of Feliks and Felicja, divorced with Zdzisław Tyszkiewicz, the heir to landed property of Kolbuszowa. After the wedding Staromieście became their family home (now it is within the city limits of Rzeszów). Then Jan Feliks (1879–1942), the only son of this couple, managed the estate. Photographs provide valuable information both in the textual (notes connected with presented on photos persons, things, events) and illustrative stratum.

We report the advantage of the exchange coupling between a magnetically soft (MnFe2O4) and magnetically hard (Co0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 and Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) magnetic phase to increase the specific absorption rate (SAR) in magnetic inductive heating. All samples were synthesized by hydrothermal method. While the saturation magnetization (Ms) of two composite nanoparticles is approximately 1.1 times higher the Ms of single-component, the SAR is more 2 times than those values of single-component.
The numerical calculation of statically admissible slip-line field for plane strain compression of a three-layer symmetric strip between rigid plates
Authors: Thanh Nguyen Manh , Nguyen Kien Trung , Alexandrov Sergei
Published: February 2021

This paper present a method to build up statically admissible slip-line field (the field of characteristics) and, as a result, the field of statically admissible stresses of the compression of a three-layer symmetric strip consisting of two different rigid perfectly plastic materials between rough, parallel, rigid plates (for the case: the shear yield  stress of the inner layer is greater than that of the outer layer). Under the conditions of sticking regime at bi-material interfaces and sliding occurs at rigid surfaces with maximum friction, the appropriate singularities on the boundary between the two materials have been assumed, then a standard numerical slip-line technique is supplemented with iterative procedure to calculate characteristic and stress fields that satisfy simultaneously the stress boundary conditions as well as the regime of sticking on the bi-material interfaces
Lithographic fabrication and spectroscopic characterization of a THz metamaterial absorber
Authors: Tung Nguyen Thanh , Phuc Le Hong
Published: February 2021

THz metamaterial absorbers are often studied by computational techniques, where the influence of actual material parameters and fabricating limitation has not been completely understood. Here we present an experimental investigation on a far-infrared metamaterial absorber composed of a gold disk-shaped resonator, a silicon oxide spacer, and a gold film. The samples are fabricated using the UV laser lithography technique in combination with the electron-beam evaporation. The absorption feature of fabricated samples is examined by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and supported by finite integration simulations.
Estimation of tidal excursion length along the Shatt Al-Arab estuary, Southern Iraq
Authors: Lafta Ali Abdulridha
Published: February 2021

The tidal excursion length along the Shatt Al-Arab estuary was estimated based on the mathematical relation proposed by Parsa and Shahidi (2010). The field measurements of water level, bathymetry, and discharges were conducted to fulfill the objective of the study. The results revealed that the tidal excursion length is site-specific and depends on the characteristics of location which include tidal phases, bathymetry, and geometry. However, the results indicated that there are pronounced differences in tidal excursions lengths between the spring and neap tide phases in all studies stations. The spring tide coincided with the maximum tidal excursion lengths in Shatt Al-Arab estuary with 16.537, 16.187, 11.122, and 9.139 km in the estuary mouth, Faw, Siba, and Abo Flous stations respectively. While the neap tidal excursion lengths were 12.298, 9.254, and 7.269 km in Faw, Siba, and Abo Flous stations respectively.
Social justice in inter-ethnic relations
Authors: Denisova Galina
Published: February 2021

The article deals with the analysis of social justice as a universal value that determines the evaluation of social practices in all the spheres of social life. But the study of such an evaluation of society in the sphere of interethnic relations is faced with a number of theoretical problems. The authors show that when evaluating interethnic relations in accordance with the criterion of social justice, due to the ambiguous interpretation of their meaning, it is necessary to rely on an interdisciplinary approach. An important area of this analysis is the correlation of the theoretical understanding of ethnicity and the practice of state building in the context of the cultural diversity of the population. Two strategies for achieving social justice in the sphere of interethnic relations are shown: the building of the SU ethno-nations and the building of the RF nation with securing civil rights in the sphere of the implementation of ethno-cultural identity and providing conditions for the development of ethno-cultural diversity.

ABSTRACT Objective To reflect on the exercise of Nursing’s professional autonomy in times of pandemic. Method Theoretical reflection in the light of the Sociology of Professions proposed by Eliot Freidson. Using the author's main concepts, it was sought to understand the professional practice of Nursing in times when its protagonism in the care process becomes even more challenging. Results Although there are obstacles in the daily work, it is believed that an autonomous practice contributes satisfactorily to the performance of nurses, since by revealing all the potential and leadership they have, they allow their professional autonomy to be legitimized. Final Considerations The reflection clarified the importance of nurses to put their professional autonomy into practice, in order to achieve greater recognition and social appreciation of their work in times of pandemic.

Published: February 2021

Since the 1980s, the Brazilian government has implemented many policies and programmes addressing energy efficiency. The electricity consumption in residential and commercial, service and public buildings in Brazil is approximately 50% of the total electricity consumed in the country; 70% of electricity consumption in public buildings is due to the lighting and air-conditioning systems. This paper presents a case study in a Brazilian Navy building, using DIALux software to study energy efficiency and to make an energy diagnosis regarding lighting to propose improvements so as to obtain the Brazilian partial National Energy Conservation Label (partial ENCE). Three different scenarios were simulated, and the results showed that it is possible to obtain about 2475 kWh/(m2/year) in energy savings, by replacing the current lighting system of fluorescent lamps with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. Thus, it was possible to observe, through the results of the simulation and the energy diagnosis, that the replacement of the lighting technology, associated with layout modification, provides satisfactory results and meets the minimum desirable requirements of the Brazilian technical standard ABNT NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1, 2013.
Effect of Kidney Function on Relationships between Lifestyle Behaviors and Mortality or Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Pooled Cohort Analysis
Authors: Schrauben Sarah J. , Hsu Jesse Y. , Amaral Sandra , Anderson Amanda H. , Feldman Harold I. , Dember Laura M.
Published: February 2021

Significance Statement

Healthy lifestyle behaviors reduce death and cardiovascular disease among individuals with preserved kidney function, but the benefits of these behaviors among those with reduced kidney function, a group at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, have not been established. In this pooled analysis of three community-based cohort studies that included 27,271 adults, healthy lifestyle behaviors (not smoking, maintaining body mass index in the recommended range, engaging in regular physical activity, consuming a healthy diet, and no more than a moderate intake of alcohol), analyzed individually and in combination, were associated with significantly reduced risk of death and cardiovascular disease events among individuals with or without reduced kidney function. These findings highlight the importance of lifestyle behaviors as potentially modifiable risk factors for people with kidney disease.

Background

Adherence to healthy behaviors reduces risks of cardiovascular disease and death in the general population. However, among people with kidney disease, a group at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, such benefits have not been established.

Methods

We pooled data from three cohort studies with a total of 27,271 participants. Kidney function was categorized on the basis of eGFR (≥60, 45 to <60, and <45 ml/min per 1.73 m2). We used proportional hazard frailty models to estimate associations between healthy behaviors (not smoking, at recommended body mass index [BMI], physical activity, healthy diet, and moderate to no alcohol intake) and outcomes (all-cause death, major coronary events, ischemic stroke, and heart failure events).

Results

All recommended lifestyle behaviors were significantly associated with lower risks of death, regardless of eGFR. Not smoking (versus current) and any moderate to vigorous physical activity (versus none) was significantly associated with reduced risks of major coronary and heart failure events, regardless of eGFR. Any (versus no) moderate or vigorous physical activity significantly associated with decreased risk of ischemic stroke events only among those with eGFR ≥60. Moderate to no daily alcohol intake (versus excessive) was significantly associated with an increased risk of major coronary events, regardless of eGFR. For heart failure events, a BMI of 18.5 to 30 associated with decreased risk, regardless of eGFR. Across all eGFR categories, the magnitude of risk reduction for death and all cardiovascular outcomes increased with greater numbers of recommended lifestyle behaviors.

Conclusions

Recommended lifestyle behaviors are associated with lower risk of death and cardiovascular disease events among individuals with or without reduced kidney function, supporting lifestyle behaviors as potentially modifiable risk factors for people with kidney disease.

Die Covid-19-pandemie: 'n Geleentheid tot besinning oor die mens se plek in verhouding met die natuur?
Authors: Olivier B
Published: February 2021

Die huidige artikel het betrekking op die koronavirus-pandemie wat tans (Augustus 2020) onversteurd dwarsoor die wêreld woed. Die vraag word gestel of die pandemie nie moontlik aan die mensdom 'n guide geleentheid bied om te (her-)besin oor sy plek in die natuur nie, en terselfdertyd oor wat die pandemie ten opsigte van mense se toekoms op aarde impliseer -waar eersgenoemde vraag bevestigend beantwoord word en daar uitgebrei word op die implikasies van die tweede. Daar word aandag gegee aan wetenskaplike getuienis dat die mens self verantwoordelik is vir die verskyning van die nuwe koronavirus, en dat dit kousaal verbind is aan die toenemende druk wat mense op natuurlike habitats plaas deur hul steeds binne-dringende, natuurvernietigende ekonomiese praktyke. Laasgenoemde gee aanleiding tot wat Jean Baudrillard die "weerwraak" ("blowback") van die natuur noem. 'n Uiters relevante rolprent (The Day the Earth Stood Still; Derrickson 2008) word onder die loep geneem om die ekologiese dilemma waarin die mensdom sigself tans bevind in die brandpunt te plaas, voordat die moontlikheid van 'n pandemie met die netwerkstruktuur van die globale samelewing verbind word. Ander sake wat aandag kry, is die implikasies van die pandemie vir sosiale stratifikasie in die netwerksamelewing, asook vir die moontlikheid van 'n tegnologiese distopie, wat deur Naomi Klein uitgesonder word met verwysing na die opportunistiese wyse waarop tegnokrate die pandemie probeer gebruik om met openbare fondse vir hul private projek te betaal, om kwansuis deur middel van kommunikasietegnologie menselewens te beskerm. Zizek se waarskuwing oor "barbarisme met 'n menslike gesig" word bespreek en met Foucault se begrip van "bio-politiese mag" asook met dié van "nekropolitiek" by Mbembe verbind. Die filosofiese implikasies van die Covid-19-pandemie word ook aan die hand van Deleuze en Guattari se begrippe van risoom en wording geartikuleer voordat gepoog word om die vraag, wat 'n mens onder die huidige omstandighede te doen staan, te beantwoord, wat aan die hand van Zizek en Harvey se gedagtes oor 'n alternatief vir neoliberale kapitalisme geformuleer word.
"Wie is dan blind?" Beliggaamde ruimte in lokatiewe narratiewe deur persone met sigge-stremdheid
Authors: Greyling F
Published: February 2021

Die artikel behels 'n ondersoek na die beliggaamde ruimte in lokatiewe narratiewe deur persone met siggestremdheid. Die Pionierstorieversameling wat op die skoolterrein van 'n skool vir leerders met siggestremdheid geïnstalleer is, bestaan uit verhale, vertellings en gedigte deur leerders en oudleerders van die betrokke skool. In hierdie artikel word ondersoek hoe die Pio-nierstories as lokatiewe narratiewe moontlik insig sou kon bied in die plekervaring van die skrywers, asook sou kon bydra tot lesers se verdiepte ervaring van die plek en tot die sig-baarmaking (bewuswording) van stories, liggame en gemeenskappe. Om die Pionierstories binne dié konteks te verstaan, word 'n raamwerk saamgestel waarin die konsepte van beliggaamde ruimte en ingeplaastheid bespreek word, soos dit verband hou met die multisensoriese aard van waarneming, die ingeplaaste skryfaksie, met narratiewe van persoonlike ervaring en die ekosomatiese benadering tot gestremdheid; asook met die beliggaamde ervaring van die ingeplaaste leser-deelnemer. Vier verhale uit die versameling word aan die hand van sodanige raamwerk bespreek. Die geïntegreerde uitbeelding van die konkrete én abstrakte aspekte van plek in die Pionierstories, demonstreer die verweefde dimensies wat die ervaring van plek bepaal, die sentrale rol en agentskapfunksies van die ingeplaaste skrywer in plekskepping, asook die konkreetheid van die ervaring deur die leser-deelnemer in die betrokke lokatiewe installasie soos dit tot die verhoogde sigbaarheid van die stories, liggame en die gemeenskap bydra.
Omgewingsidentiteit in die Era van die Mens: Nuwe perspektiewe op Toorbos. Deel 2
Authors: Meyer S
Published: February 2021

Die rolprentweergawe van Dalene Matthee se roman, Toorbos, is in 2019 vrygestel. Die mediabelangstelling in die rolprent het nuwe aandag op die roman gevestig. Die romangegewe asook die filmbeelde van die uitroei van die eeu-oue Knysnawoud en gepaardgaande ekosisteme het ons ook opnuut attent gemaak op die onthutsende kwessie van mensgemaakte bedreigings vir lewe op aarde. In die Era van die Mens word toenemende druk op die planeet se lewens-onderhoudende sisteme geplaas en groei die kommer daaroor wêreldwyd. Die teoretiese raamwerk wat benut word in die ekokritiese herlees van Toorbos is Susan Clayton en Susan Opotow se omgewingsidentiteitsteorie en -model. In Deel 1 van my studie, in die September 2020-uitgawe van hierdie tydskrif, is die belang van omgewingsidenteit vanuit 'n teoretiese hoek gemotiveer. Nou, in Deel 2, word dit prakties geïllustreer deur die toepassing van Clayton en Opotow se omgewingsidentiteitsmodel op 'n analise van die hooffigure in Toorbos. Die bevinding is dat Karoliena en Johannes, ongeag verskeie gedeelde agtergrondfaktore, uiteenlopende rigtings inslaan wat omgewingshouding- en gedrag betref - spesifiek weens omge-wingsidentiteitsverskille. Hierdie kwessie gee tot spanning en onherstelbare verhoudingskade aanleiding. Toorbos illustreer hoe kragtig omgewingsidentiteitskwessies op menseverhoudings sowel as op omgewingsgedrag en -oortuigings kan inspeel. Deur omgewingsidentiteit as betekenisvolle gegewe in die werklike lewensituasie te ag, mag die kontoere van omgewings-debatte op praktiese en vrugbare wyse verlê word. Die klein snit uit die Suid-Afrikaanse werklikheid wat Toorbos bied, mag bewustheid skep vir die belangrike implikasies van voldoende insig omtrent omgewingsidentiteit in die Era van die Mens, ten einde verskiltende beskouings en hanterings van omgewingsprobleme volledig te begryp en konstruktief te hanteer.
Die kwesbaarheid van kinders in die konteks van Suid-Afrikaanse huishoudings en families
Authors: Grobbelaar J , Jones C
Published: February 2021

In hierdie artikel bespreek ons die kwesbaarheid van baie kinders wat in Suid-Afrika woon, met die doel om noodsaaklike insae in die daaglikse lewensomstandighede van soveel kwesbare kinders van Suid-Afrika te bevorder. Die artikel begin deur kortliks te verwys na die sosiale en politieke kontekste wat die lewens van kinders bedreig. Dit fokus dan meer spesifiek op huishoudings en familiestrukture en hoe ons oor hierdie ingewikkelde, vervlegde en moeilik onderskeibare konsepte behoort te dink. Hierna volg 'n kort bespreking van teenwoordige en afwesige ouers, wat uitwys dat Suid-Afrika uniek is in die mate waarin ouers, veral vaders, afwesig is in die daaglikse doen en late van hul kinders. Ook kom grootouers wat in die afwesigheid van ouers na hul kleinkinders omsien, aan die beurt, en die belangrike rol wat die uitgebreide familie in die grootmaak van kinders speel, word uitgewys. Dan word stilgestaan by migrasie, veral deur adolessente, met die oog daarop om toegang tot nuwe geleenthede te kry. Uiteraard gaan daar bedreiginge hiermee saam. Hierna val die soeklig op weeskinders, asook op huishoudings wat net uit kinders bestaan en waar 'n minderjarige gevolglik as die hoof van so 'n huishouding moet funksioneer. Laastens kom die baie belangrike kwessie van behuising en basiese dienste aan die beurt, en word die groot ongelykheid in ons land soos weerspieël in die toegang of gebrek aan basiese dienste, aangetoon.
Estimation of areai reduction factors using daily rainfall data and a geographically centred approach
Authors: Gericke OJ , Pietersen J P J
Published: February 2021

This paper presents the estimation of geographically centred and probabilistically correct areal reduction factors (ARFs) from daily rainfall data to explain the unique relationship between average design point rainfall and average areal design rainfall estimates at a catchment level in the C5 secondary drainage region in South Africa as a pilot case study. The methodology adopted is based on a modified version of Bell's geographically centred approach. The sample ARF values estimated varied with catchment area, storm duration and return period, hence confirming the probabilistic nature. The derived algorithms also provided improved probabilistic ARF estimates in comparison to the geographically and storm-centred methods currently used in South Africa. At a national level, it is envisaged that the implementation and expansion of the methodology will ultimately contribute towards improved ARF estimations at a catchment level in South Africa. Consequently, the improved ARF estimations will also result in improved design flood estimations.
Psychological Causes of Corruption: The Role of Worries
Authors: Mironova Anna , Tatarko Alexander
Published: February 2021

This study is devoted to answering two questions: (1) Do individuals’ worries and sufferings correlate with the acceptability of corruption from their perspectives? (2) Does this correlation differ by country in terms of corruption levels? We focus on analyzing the correlation between macro and micro worries, on one hand, and individual acceptability of corrupt behavior, on the other hand. This study is based on the data from the 6th-wave World Value Survey. We identified three groups of countries based on the corruption perception index: countries with low-level corruption (Australia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, and Sweden), countries with medium-level corruption (Belarus, China, South Korea, Malaysia, and Romania), and countries with high-level corruption (Russia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Thailand). For the purposes of our analysis, we used structural equation modeling. We have found that macro and micro worries are significantly correlated with the acceptability of corruption. Our analysis shows that the more the people worry about themselves or their families, the more they accept corruption. The people who worry about society are more likely to disapprove of corruption. However, the significance of these links varies, depending on the group of countries. For the countries with low-level corruption, the correlation is significant only for the link between micro worries and the acceptability of corruption. The countries with high-level corruption show a significant correlation only for the link between macro worries and the acceptability of corruption. For countries with medium-level corruption and for Russia, the acceptability of corruption is significantly correlated with both micro and macro worries.
Capitalism without Capital: The Rise of the Intangible Economy (an excerpt)
Authors: Haskel Jonathan , Westlake Stian
Published: February 2021

Capitalism without Capital by Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explores the changes in the types of investments that have occurred in almost all developed countries over the last forty years. If tangible investments predominated in the past, most investments are intangible at present, meaning that money is spent on buying and creating knowledgebased products, including computer software, research and development, design, works of art, market research, learning, and new business processes. The authors attempt to answer why the economy in which intangible assets are intensively used is so different from the economy where tangible assets dominate. The authors conclude that these changes are explained by the basic properties of the intangible assets and have resulted in long-lasting stagnation, lower economic growth, increasing inequality, and difficulties in public policies for economic and financial sectors. The Journal of Economic Sociology publishes the introductory chapter, ‘Valuation, the Old-Fashioned Ways: Or a Thousand Years in Essex’ from Capitalism without Capital, where the authors discuss the meaning of investments, define the distinctions between tangible and intangible assets, and explain why some basic properties of intangible assets generate such dramatic changes in the contemporary economy.

The Relationship between Health Expenditures and Economic Growth: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: ÖZER Mustafa Orhan
Published: February 2021

This study examines the relationship between health expenditures and economic growth in Turkey during the period 1975-2019 by using the Fourier Engle-Granger cointegration and the Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality tests. Firstly, the Fourier ADF unit root test with fractional frequency is employed in order to investigate the stationary of the variables, and it is determined that both are I(1). Then, the Fourier Engle-Granger cointegration test revealed that there is a unidirectional long-run relationship from real GDP per capita to health expenditures. Accordingly, a one percent increase in economic growth causes a 0.32 percent increase in health expenditures. The findings from the Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality test also support results of the Fourier Engle-Granger cointegration test. As a result, this study indicates that income view hypothesis and Wagner's law are valid for Turkey.
How Do The Main Negative Emotions Affect People's Political Decision Process? : “Fear, Anxiety And Anger
Authors: AKDEMİR Kevser Hülya
Published: February 2021

In the post-modern era, the mobilization of previously large masses has been replaced by micro-groups dominated by new and distinct identities. As a result, the analysis and predictability of electorate behavior have decreased. The political decision-making processes of individuals have therefore been subjected to detailed analyzes. Emotions have become a significant subject of political psychology in terms of their effects on the political decision-making process of individuals. Emotions have also become an important topic in political psychology. Researches revealed that emotions have important effects on thoughts and decision-making processes. In this context, the article primarily aims to draw a rational framework on this subject by including modern “emotion” definitions and the impacts of people’s emotions on political decisions. Afterward, the article investigated the effect of negative emotions on political decision-making. In this context, anxiety, fear and anger are emphasized by using a descriptive approach. The article argues that negative emotions that are anxiety, fear, and anger, in particular, have positive contributions to the political decision-making process of individuals.

Sivil toplumu normatif zemine dayanarak açıklama girişimi yaygın bir eğilim olsa da, bu zemin çoğu zaman sivil toplum olgusunu açıklamak yerine kavramın içeriğini örtmektedir. A priori bir kabulle sivil toplumun salt bir özgürlükler alanı olduğu iddiası, bu olguyu toplumsal gerçeklikten kopararak teorik bir alana hapsetmektedir. Çalışma; sivil topluma yönelik tüm normatif iddialara mesafeli yaklaşarak, sivil toplum kavrayışına Antik Yunan siyasal düşüncesinin merkezinde yer alan oikos-polis dikotomisiyle bir açılım sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Kabaca bir zorunluluk-özgürleşme ayrımına dayanan oikos-polis dikotomisi, Antik dönem ve modern kavrayış arasındaki farklılığı karşılaştırmalı olarak inceleme olanağı sunmaktadır. Çalışma; kapitalizme içkin olan ekonomi ve siyasetin ayrışması, çalışmanın toplumsal hayatın merkezine yükselmesi ve araçsallaştırılan aklın egemenliği olgularından hareketle modern dönemde sivil toplumun “yeni bir oikos” olarak değerlendirilebileceğini savunmaktadır. Böylelikle gayri siyasi bir özgürleşme alanı olarak sınırları çizilen sivil toplum kavrayışının oikosla olan ilişkisi daha açık hale getirilmiştir.

RESUMO: A construção de jardins verticais e o estudo envolvendo espécies de insetos e plantas para biomonitoramento é um tópico relativamente novo nas ciências ambientais. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo foi a realização do biomonitoramento ativo da qualidade do ar utilizando espécies vegetais e de insetos em sistema de jardim vertical suspenso. Para isto foram utilizadas cinco plantas bioindicadoras: T. pallida, T. zebrina, J. brandejeana, L. camara e R. nasturtium aquaticum. Foram realizadas medidas de crescimento; quantificação e caracterização de estômatos; determinação das ordens de insetos visitantes e determinação das concentrações de metais pesados. Os resultados indicaram que os estômatos das espécies vegetais bioindicadoras R. nasturtium aquaticum apresentou estômatos em ambas as epidermes, porém preferencialmente em maior número na superfície adaxial independentemente do local de cultivo, diferentemente das outras espécies, que por motivo da própria espécie ou por plasticidade, apresentaram maiores quantidades de estômatos na superfície abaxial, justificando uma proteção ao sistema de captação gasosa dos poluentes atmosféricos de forma que as taxas fotossintéticas possam ocorrer normalmente. É possível concluir que as plantas usadas nesse estudo apresentaram adaptações e são fontes bioindicadoras de poluição ambiental. Quanto aos insetos visitantes, as ordens identificadas apresentaram variações quanto as concentrações de metais pesados, entretanto ainda não existem na Legislação Brasileira índices específicos de poluição nos invertebrados, dessa forma, na presente pesquisa foram realizadas comparações com outros estudos países relacionados ao tema.

“Já li conheço, mulé”: uma análise da despalatalização da lateral palatal
Authors: Santos Maria de Fátima Rocha , Oliveira Almir Almeida de , Marques Andressa Kaline Luna de Oliveira , Oliveira Aline Bezerra Falcão de
Published: February 2021

RESUMO: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a despalatalização da lateral palatal /λ/, como em palavras do tipo ‘filho’, ‘julho’ e ‘mulher’ etc. nas regiões Agreste, Sertão e Litoral de Alagoas. Investiga-se a troca de um fonema palatal por um alveolar em consequência de não se apoiar corretamente a ponta da língua no palato duro ao produzir o fonema. Nesta pesquisa, é utilizado o aporte teórico da Sociolinguística Variacionista (LABOV, 2008 [1972]; WEINREICH, LABOV, HERZOG, 2006 e outros), a qual prevê que cada elemento variacional no interior da língua sofre de uma valoração social que direciona sua realização. A pesquisa conta com 128 entrevistas de fala espontânea de informantes estratificados em sexo, idade, escolaridade e região. O processo de análise é feito com o auxílio dos seguintes programas computacionais: Praat (análise acústica), R e Rstudio (análise estatística). São correlacionadas as variáveis sociais às variáveis linguísticas (contexto/vogal anterior, contexto/vogal seguinte, quantidade de sílabas, classe gramatical e acento). Os resultados indicam que a variante despalatalizada aparentemente sofre pressões etnográficas e é proporcionalmente favorecida pela proximidade do Litoral, enquanto o Sertão a inibe. Essa variante carrega valores sociais negativos, sendo evitadas pelas mulheres e pessoas mais escolarizadas. Linguisticamente, a variante despalatalizada é condicionada pelo contexto anterior, contexto seguinte, tonicidade e classe gramatical.

Published: February 2021

RESUMO: O feijão-caupi (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) é tradicionalmente muito consumido pelos brasileiros, sobretudo no Semiárido Nordestino, e representa uma das principais explorações agrícolas do país, desempenhando papel fundamental também na demanda por mão de obra no cultivo e beneficiamento. Estudos acerca das condições ideais de armazenamento de sementes e grãos são necessários e imprescindíveis. Assim sendo, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de Vigna unguiculata CV BRS Aracê armazenadas em duas condições de conservação por nove meses. As sementes foram divididas em dois lotes, conforme o grau de umidade (12% – lote 1, 13,5% – lote 2). As sementes foram armazenadas em silos de zinco acondicionadas em ambiente refrigerado e ambiente de laboratório, por um período de 0 (controle), 3, 6 e 9 meses. Os testes de germinação ocorreram em laboratório e em casa de vegetação. As variáveis analisadas foram: determinação do teor de água (%), porcentagem de germinação e porcentagem de emergência. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com dezesseis tratamentos e quatro repetições, com 25 sementes cada, consistindo em um arranjo fatorial de 2 × 2 × 4 (condição de conservação × teor de água × período de armazenamento). As sementes de feijão-caupi armazenadas em ambiente de laboratório apresentaram maior oscilação no teor de água durante o armazenamento em relação às sementes armazenadas em ambiente refrigerado. O armazenamento sob refrigeração durante nove meses manteve a qualidade fisiológica das sementes. As sementes armazenadas com 12% de teor de água apresentam um percentual de emergência superior sobre aquelas armazenadas com 13,5%, após nove meses de armazenamento.

Authors: Reis Isabelle Amanda Ricarte , Sales Alberone Ferreira Gondim , Vasconcelos Iara Guilhermina , De Souza Iara Leão Luna , Barbosa Loeste de Arruda , Sales Márcia Cristina
Published: February 2021

RESUMO: Introdução: A deficiência de vitamina A (DVA) é considerada um problema de saúde pública em muitos países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, acometendo principalmente a população infantil. Objetivo: Revisar os artigos que abordavam a hipovitaminose A em crianças pré-escolares no Brasil nos anos seguintes a implementação do “Programa Vitamina A Mais”. Procedimentos metodológicos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de artigos de delineamento transversal, publicados no período de janeiro de 2005 a abril 2020, nas bases de dados eletrônicas SciELO, MedLine e LILACS. A estratégia de busca incluiu os seguintes descritores em português: “deficiência de vitamina A”, “criança” e “Brasil” (e seus respectivos correspondentes nos idiomas inglês e espanhol). Resultados: Foram identificados 183 artigos, dos quais 15 foram incluídos. O percentual de crianças com DVA variou de 7,0% a 45,4%. A prevalência média ponderada de DVA pelos respectivos tamanhos amostrais foi de 20,6%. Os principais fatores associados à ocorrência de DVA englobaram aspectos relacionados à criança (menor idade, sexo masculino, baixo peso ao nascer, elevadas concentrações de proteína C-reativa, baixas concentrações de ferritina e de hemoglobina, e baixo consumo de proteína), fatores maternos (menor idade materna, baixo peso e baixa concentração de hemoglobina), e fatores socioeconômicos e ambientais desfavoráveis. Conclusão: Estudos apontam a DVA como um problema de saúde pública grave em crianças brasileiras menores de cinco anos, mesmo após a implementação do Programa Nacional de Suplementação de Vitamina A.

Authors: Pereira Mateus Rocha da Silva , Silva Tainá Gomes da , Ramos Genesio José do Amaral , Correia Camila Chagas
Published: February 2021

RESUMO: A família Cactaceae Juss. apresenta ampla distribuição para o Brasil, sendo suas flores de antese noturna na maioria dos casos. Com isso, o presente estudo objetivou conhecer os possíveis visitantes florais de Pilosocereus gonellei (F. A. C. Weber) Byles & Rowley e Pilosocereus pachycladus F. Ritter em uma área de Caatinga antropizada no estado de Alagoas. O estudo se deu no Sítio Minação, com áreas variadas de vegetação arbustiva e arbórea, localizado na zona rural do município de Poço das Trincheiras. As flores foram observadas in loco durante um período de 27 dias não consecutivos entre o período de pré-antese e antese, com aproximadamente 1 hora de observação por indivíduo para que fosse possível o registro e análise dos possíveis animais visitantes e alguns aspectos relacionados a morfologia da flor. Foram encontrados algumas espécies como morcegos (família Phyllostomidae), besouros (família Scarabaeidae), vespas (família Vespidae) e abelhas (família Apidae) para P. pachycladus e moscas (família Muscidae), besouros (família Scarabaeidae), formigas (família Formicidae) e esperanças (família Tettigoniidae) para P. gounellei constatando uma diversidade de comportamento em busca de recursos florais e extraflorais nas flores observadas. Este estudo contribui para a biologia floral em espécies de Cactaceae no estado de Alagoas e incentiva novas pesquisas em outras áreas de Caatinga no semiárido brasileiro a fim de descrever e analisar os visitantes florais de outras espécies da família Cactaceae.

Eficácia da representação sindical dos trabalhadores, inclusive como ferramenta essencial para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico
Authors: Rapassi Rinaldo Guedes
Published: February 2021

RESUMO: O autor revisita o papel do sindicalismo e suas funções (econômica, política, ética, negocial ou regulamentar, assistencial e de representação). Destaca fatos históricos, fundamentos teóricos e fenômenos contemporâneos aptos a influenciar uma potencial nova configuração dos sindicatos. Nessa missão, considerou a influência da constante alteração das estruturas sociais e econômicas que afetaram a configuração das relações profissionais, nomeadamente a união de países em blocos, a globalização das empresas, as deslocalizações da produção e o advento de novas tecnologias. Como consequência, o autor registra a queda na sindicalização e a desvalorização dos sindicatos. Do ponto de vista das relações governamentais, o modelo praticado na União Europeia revela que o Estado pode cumprir eficientemente seu papel ao contar com a colaboração de sindicatos efetivamente livres e integrados, por meio da concertação de políticas públicas. Além disso, a organização sindical sadia é imprescindível para auxiliar o governo (portanto, sem onerar o orçamento público) na fiscalização do espaço produtivo. Mediante a autonomia privada coletiva, sugere soluções específicas em negociação de regras trabalhistas internacionais, nacionais e locais. A reconstrução da estrutura sindical brasileira, de forma a aproveitar o grande potencial democrático dos sindicatos, é um desafio a superar. Ainda nessa perspectiva legislativa, o desenvolvimento socioeconômico sustentável pode ser considerado como decorrente do sucesso das empresas, da retribuição justa e da convivência pacífica com os empregados, cuja representação não pode ser meramente formal e sem voz. A investigação considera normas internacionais, inclusive dos ordenamentos jurídicos português e brasileiro. Optou o autor pela técnica acadêmica de revisão “ad hoc” de prestigiosa literatura, europeia, brasileira e uruguaia.
