Authors: Robinson Julia Charlotte , Yang Guochen , Gu Sanjun , Lu Zhongge (Cindy)
Published: December 2019

Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa L.), a medicinal herb commonly used in herbal supplements for the treatment of various ailments, is a perennial herb that grows naturally under shade conditions in temperate forest regions. This project studied the growth and rhizome yield of Black cohosh under shade conditions of 0%, 40%, 60%, and 80% in a high tunnel (9.1 m wide × 29.3 m long) on the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University Farm. Seed rhizomes were planted in raised beds incorporated with 9070 kg/acre compost and preplant fertilizer on 29 May 2016. There was one row per bed, with in-row spacing at 45.7 cm, and one drip line per bed for irrigation. Fertigation was done weekly through the drip tapes with Multi-K 13–0–46 (27.2 kg N/acre) during the growing season. Beds were mulched after sprouting. Growth data of fully mature plants were collected on canopy width and length, total number of stems per plant, stem diameter, and length/height; and rhizome fresh and dry weight. Data were analyzed at the 0.05 level of significance. Plant canopy, stem diameter, and length/height were significantly greater in 40% shade (average, 504.7 × 472.6 mm, 3.7 mm, and 135.9 mm, respectively) than in other shade conditions, with the smallest sizes in 0% shade (average, 255.8 × 255.7 mm, 2.1 mm, and 95.4 mm, respectively). There were no significant differences between the 60% and 80% shade conditions in plant canopy, stem diameter, and length/height. However, the total number of stems per plant (4.9) in 0% shade was significantly more than those in other shade conditions, with the least of stems per plant (2.9) in 80% shade. Rhizome fresh and dry weight per plant were the greatest (164.6 and 48.1 g, respectively) in 40% shade, and the least (77.8 and 22.5 g, respectively) in 0% shade. The results indicate that optimum growing conditions for Black cohosh was in 40% shade with a Daily light integral (DLI) between 15 and 0 mol/m2/day, and a day- and nighttime temperature difference between 8.3 and 2.7 °C.

Published: December 2019

The occurrence and mitigation of selected pesticides and nitrates in surface and groundwater samples from two alluvions in the Republic of Serbia are investigated in this study. The influence of aquifer conditions on the degradation processes of pesticides and nitrates is considered as a potential removal mechanism of compound residues in alluvial groundwater. Nitrate concentration was analyzed in 144 groundwater samples in the Kovin-Dubovac drainage system and 63 samples at the Ključ groundwater source. The occurrence of 15 pesticides was monitored in groundwater in a total of 34 samples in the Kovin-Dubovac area and 14 samples at the Ključ groundwater source. Concentrations of selected pesticides and nitrates were monitored in eight samples from the Danube in the Kovin-Dubovac area and 15 samples from Velika Morava at the Ključ groundwater source. Both selected locations are agricultural areas. Results show that concentrations of nitrates (NO3−) are much higher in oxic groundwater conditions compared with concentrations in typical anoxic conditions. The opposite is the case for the concentration of pesticides that occurred in surface and groundwater samples. These results are very important for a better understanding of the self-purification potential of alluvial aquifers and assessment of aquifer condition influence, especially oxic or anoxic conditions, on the occurrence and mitigation of selected agrochemical residues in groundwaters.

Published: December 2019

The addition of adjuvant chemotherapy to hormonal therapy is often considered questionable
in patients with estrogen receptor-positive early breast cancer. Low risk of disease relapse
after endocrine treatment alone and/or a low sensitivity to chemotherapy are reasons behind not all
patients benefit from chemotherapy. Most of the patients could be exposed to unnecessary treatment-
related adverse events and health care costs when treatment decision-making is based only on
classical clinical histological features. Gene expression profile has been developed to refine physician’s
decision-making process and to tailor personalized treatment to patients. In particular, these
tests are designed to spare patients the side effects of unnecessary treatment, and ensure that adjuvant
chemotherapy is correctly recommended to patients with early breast cancer. In this review,
we will discuss the main diagnostic tests and their potential clinical applications (Oncotype DX,
MammaPrint, PAM50/Prosigna, EndoPredict, MapQuant Dx, IHC4, and Theros-Breast Cancer
Gene Expression Ratio Assay).

Authors: Ruggieri Victor , Gómez José Luis Cuesta , Martínez María Merino , Arberas Claudia
Published: December 2019

Background:

The population with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been increasing and is currently
estimated to be 1 in 58 births. The increased prevalence of ASD together with the lack of knowledge on the
processes of aging in this population, the support needed at this stage of life, and the associated risk factors, have
led to an urgent need for further research.

Methods:

This study provides a review of the literature on social- and health-related conditions that may appear
when persons with ASD grow old.

Results:

In addition to the autism-related conditions, different neurological, genetic, and environmental factors
may be involved in the process of aging. In this complex setting, this study provides proposals that may guide the
development of support services that may improve the quality of life for aging people with ASD.

Conclusion:

Aging in ASD is emerging as a growing problem, which requires immediate planning and targetted
treatment development.

Authors: Machado Mariana P.R. , Schavinski Aline Z. , Deluque Amanda L. , Volpato Gustavo T. , Campos Kleber E.
Published: December 2019

Background:

Limited studies have been carried out with prednisone (PRED) in treatment by glucose intolerant individuals, even in this model the animals presented low blood glucose levels at adulthood, by the high regenerative capacity of β-cell.

Objective:

The aim was to evaluate the effects of the treatment of PRED in mild diabetes on biochemical and immunological biomarkers.

Methods:

Rats were randomly divided into four groups: control (C), treated control C+PRED (treatment of 1.25 mg/Kg/day PRED); diabetic DM (mild diabetes) and treated diabetic DM+PRED (treatment with same dose as C+PRED group). Untreated groups received vehicle, adjusted volume to body weight. The treatment lasted 21 days and measured body weight, food and water intake, and glycemia weekly. In the 3rd week, the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and the Insulin Tolerance Test (ITT) was performed. On the last day, the rats were killed and the blood was collected for biochemical analyzes, leukogram and immunoglobulin G levels.

Results:

There was a significant decrease in body weight in mild diabetes; however, the treatment in diabetic groups increased food intake, glycemia, and the number of total leukocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils. On the other hand, it decreased the levels of triglycerides, high-density and very lowdensity lipoproteins. In addition, diabetic groups showed glucose intolerance and mild insulin resistance, confirming that this model induces glucose intolerant in adult life.

Conclusion:

The results showed that the use of prednisone is not recommended for glucose intolerant individuals and should be replaced in order to not to aggravate this condition.
Impact of Nanotechnology Patents on Green Development of China's Building Industry
Authors: Sun Xialing , Zhang Rui , Chen Xue , Li Pengpeng , Guo Jin
Published: December 2019

Background:

The sustainable development of the building industry has drawn increasing
attention around the world. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology play an important role in the processes
of energy saving and reducing consumption in the building industry. Nanotechnology patents provide
key technological support for the green development of the building industry. Based on patent data in
China, this paper quantitatively analyzed the application of nanotechnology patents in the building industry
and the time trend, regional differences, and evolution of China's nano-patent applications in the
building field.

Methods:

In this study, the environmental total factor productivity of the building industry considering
carbon constraints was determined and then used as the dependent variable to measure the green development
of the building industry. On this basis, a panel data regression model was constructed to determine
the impact of nano-patents on the green development of the building industry.

Results:

Nanotechnology patents in the building industry can significantly improve total factor productivity.
From the perspective of patent composition, technology-based patents that focus on substantial
innovation can significantly promote the green development of the building industry, whereas strategic
patents show a significant inhibitory effect. Regionally, the western region of China has the advantage
of being less developed and thus more efficient than the central and eastern regions in the application
of new nano-products. Finally, the research also showed a significant lag in the application of China's
nanotechnology patents and low implementation efficiency.

Conclusion:

Nano patents can promote green development in the building industry, but there is room
for improvement in the speed with which laboratory inventions are transformed into building engineering
applications.
Seismic Risk of Modern City
Authors: Zaalishvili Vladislav , Burdzieva Olga , Kanukov Aleksandr , Melkov Dmitry
Published: December 2019

Aim:

The goal of the work was to develop and implement a methodology for the expected seismic risk assessment of a modern city on the example of a test area of Vladikavkaz city.

Background:

The selected area is characterized by a variety of soil conditions typical for the entire territory of the city. At the same time, building stock includes almost all types of buildings that form the urban environment.

Objective:

Based on the differentiation of soil conditions, the test area was conditionally divided into 6 sites. Further, site effects of every site were estimated (seismic microzonation work was carried out). Expected seismic intensity (MSK-64) of the sites varied within 7-9 points. Each type of building is characterized by a certain vulnerability to a particular level of seismic impact.

Method:

The work is focused on the implementation of simple and effective statistical concepts of the MSK-64 scale for the development of express seismic risk assessment methodology. Different soils and types of buildings in different combination caused a different level of expected economic losses. Further, on the basis of taking into account the expected damage in the building stock of Kuybyshev Street, the expected social losses were calculated. In this regard, it is of interest to analyze the seismic risk variations along Kuybyshev Street, which is actually a model of the city.

Conclusion:

The suggested methodology gives a rapid express assessment of seismic risk for decision making on buildings enforcement on a city level. Seismic risk methodology was corrected for new types of buildings (“Vesna” region) and it was shown that the MSK scale is effective but must be also actualized itself.

Authors: S.V Mamatha , Belagali S.L. , Bhat Mahesh
Published: December 2019

Background:

Benzothiazoles possess a vast sphere of biological activities including anti-
inflammatory, antibacterial activities whereas triazoles display various pharmacological properties
including antimicrobial and antitubercular activities. Hence, triazole conjugated benzothiazole
side-chain anticipating their interesting biological properties has been focused upon.

Objective:

The objective of the current work is synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series
of benzothiazole appended triazole derivatives.

Methods:

The target compounds were prepared via a multi-step method involving the treatment of
2-amino benzothiazole with hydrazine followed by cyclization with carbon disulfide to give the
corresponding triazol-2-thiol derivatives and then alkylation of these derivatives. All the synthesized
compounds were characterized by FT-IR, Mass, 1H and 13C NMR spectra and were screened
for their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tubercular (anti-TB) activities in
vitro. These molecules were also docked into the enoyl acyl carrier reductase (Inha, PDB ID-1ZID)
in silico.

Results:

While all the synthesized compounds were active against M. tuberculosis at 50 μg/ml, the
pyrrolidine and piperidine appended benzothiazolyltriazoles showed the superior activity (MIC
values 12.5 to 1.6 μg/ml). Compound 5a (5-CH3 with piperidine), 5b (7-CH3 with piperidine) and
7b (7-CH3 with pyrrolidine) showed good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with
MIC value 31.25μg/ml, while compounds 7a (5-CH3 with pyrrolidine), 6b (7-CH3 with morpholine)
and 8c (7-Br with pyridine) exhibited good antibacterial activity against E-coli with MIC value
62.5μg/ml. Compounds 7b (7-CH3 with pyrrolidine) and 5c (7-Br with piperidine) showed good
anti-oxidant activities with IC50 values 93.25 and 82.25, respectively. Notably, these compounds
were non-toxic to the normal cells even at high concentrations with IC50 value 238μg/ml.

Conclusion:

The compound 7b, a benzothiazolyltriazole having a pyrrolidine group (five membered
ring) attached to two CH2 groups and methyl substituent at 7th position of the benzothiazole
ring emerged as a novel and promising hit molecule that showed anti-TB, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory
activities in vitro.

The main problem is how is the tourism sector's grand investment effort to increase the number of villas and hotels to expand employment opportunities in the Sub-district of Ubud Bali? High levels of unemployment can increase the amount of crime and increase social unrest. If examined further, from an economic standpoint, if many foreign and local investments are realized then job opportunities are wide open for the people in the area and other regions so that people's income rises by itself. The government is trying to create vocational education that aims to produce a quality and superior workforce in all sectors. Investment activities are the use of a sum of money in the hope of obtaining benefits and can plan their financing and implementation as a unit of activity within a certain period of time. Expenditure on investment costs is done once and only produces benefits a few years later.

Perspectives From Municipality Officials on the Adoption, Dissemination, and Implementation of Electronic Health Interventions to Support Caregivers of People With Dementia: Inductive Thematic Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Christie Hannah Liane , Schichel Mignon Chloë Philomela , Tange Huibert Johannes , Veenstra Marja Yvonne , Verhey Frans Rochus Josef , de Vugt Marjolein Elizabeth
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND

Very few evidence-based electronic health (eHealth) interventions for caregivers of people with dementia are implemented into practice. As part of a cross-border collaboration focusing on dementia and depression in older people, two eHealth interventions for caregivers of people with dementia (“Myinlife” and “Partner in Balance”) were adopted by nine municipalities in the Euregion Meuse-Rhine.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to (1) identify determinants for the implementation of eHealth interventions for caregivers of people with dementia in a municipality context and (2) formulate implementation strategies for these interventions.

METHODS

Eight municipality officials were interviewed using open-ended, semistructured interviews about their background, thoughts on the implementation of the intervention, recommended strategies, and thoughts on eHealth in general. One additional municipality discontinued the implementation project and submitted answers to the interview questions via email. The interviews were transcribed and independently analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

RESULTS

The interviews provided information on the perspectives of municipality officials on implementing eHealth for caregivers of people with dementia in their local communities. Key findings from the inductive thematic analysis included the importance of face-to-face interviews in developing tailor-made implementation plans, the need for regular meetings, the enthusiasm of municipality officials to implement these interventions, the need for long-term sustainability planning through collecting data on the required resources and benefits, and the effect of name brand recognition in adoption.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings contribute toward filling the previously identified gap in the literature on the implementation context of eHealth interventions for caregivers of people with dementia. Municipality officials’ views indicated which implementation determinants they expected would influence the adoption, dissemination, and future implementation of eHealth interventions for caregivers of people with dementia in a municipal context. These insights were applied to tailored implementation strategies to facilitate the future implementation of interventions such as Myinlife and Partner in Balance.
Implementation of CORS GNSS and local geoid for precise orthometric height determination in land subsidence region (a case study in Semarang City)
Authors: Sabri Laode M
Published: December 2019

Geoid has an important role in converting geodetic heights to physical heights, both in orthometric height system and normal height systems. At present, Semarang City already has gravimetric geoid with centimeter-level precision. This gravimetric was validated by geometric geoid measured by static method.  GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) measurement using static method needs long observation time and costly because it requires network that connect baselines and points. This study aims to implement CORS (Continous Operating Reference Station) GNSS in measuring geodetic height and to apply gravimetric geoid in orthometric height calculations. In this research, the gravimetric geoid recalculation process was carried out using gravity disturbance data of 2016. The geoid fitting process was carried out iteratively based on gravity data and modification of the integral of Hotine. Geodetic height measurements were carried out at 40 points distributed olong 50 km leveling network. Geodetic height measurements were refered to CORS GNSS of BIG (Geospatial Information Agency) and UNDIP (Diponegoro University) to produce standard deviation ranged from ±0.003 m to ±0.055. Geometric geoid checking with previous gravimetric geoid before fitting produced standard deviation of  ±0.037 m and  datum offset of -0.690 m. Geometric geoid checking for recent gravimetric geoid after fitting produces standard deviation of ±0.043 m and datum offset of -0.010 m. This study concluded that the refering geodetic coordinates to CORS stations by 1 hour observation of rapid static method and processing baselines in commercial software are sufficient for the determination of orthometric height in centimeter-level precision. This study also concluded that gravimetric geoid fitting based on gravity data shifting can minimize datum offset and shrinkage in geoid map.

Ecological approach in the design of spaces of minimalism
Authors: Motruk Yana B.
Published: December 2019

Introduction. Minimalism in the architecture of the 21st century gains new principles for the formation of space, determined by the ideology of the time. In the modern world, more and more attention is paid to the technical characteristics of the created green spaces and their interaction with architectural objects. This is dictated by the need to form sustainable combinations of plant elements that can affect the energy efficiency of buildings, as well as create a psychologically and environmentally friendly environment.

Materials and methods. The work was carried out based on a study of contemporary objects of landscape architecture implemented in the stage of implementation in the style of minimalism, designed on the principles of sustainability and environmental friendliness. Information about the facilities was obtained from published materials. In the process, methods of theoretical study, analysis, and generalization of the material were applied.

Results. The analysis allows us to conclude the development and adoption of new principles for the formation of a contemporary spatial domain in the style of minimalism. The position of a more economical attitude to a historically formed landscape is revealed. The functional importance, environmental feasibility and economic feasibility of using combinations of plant space elements as an engineering part of the architecture are considered. The practical significance of the use of “restrained” assortment and orientation to local plant species in the design of green spaces is indicated. The principles of the formation of sustainable landscapes and the rationality of their application in the designed space are determined.

Conclusions. The technical importance of landscaping the space is determined taking into account the principles of sustainability of the plant environment. The problems are formulated, the solution of which is possible by creating environmentally stable landscapes. The importance of studying the possibility of creating a self-sufficient environment in the dynamics of the development of modern architecture is indicated.

Authors: Passmore David L. , Borkovskaya Victoria G. , Korytova Yulia S.
Published: December 2019

Introduction. An important direction for the modernization of the sphere of housing and communal complexes is the optimization of logistics processes. Logistics is considered a special branch of housing and communal activities not only because of the importance of the development of housing and communal complex but also to create the necessary economic conditions for the growth of the quality of services. Logistics in the housing and communal complex has a number of requirements, including the need to constantly maintain the approved quality-quantity and to promote continuity of material and information flows. The risks of lack of stable provision to meet these requirements are a problem for the development of the entire service sector of the housing and communal complex. Methods existing for risk management should be adapted to the specifics of the operation of housing stock. When using various methods of risk analysis, it is necessary to take into account not only the economic performance of the logistics department of the management company but also to consider the working conditions and quality of services to apply further techniques to eliminate significant risks. The subject of research — risks in logistics processes of companies providing housing and communal services as one of the main vectors of housing and communal complex development. The objectives are to determine the methods that can regulate the risks arising from the logistics processes in work, to establish the relationship of modernization of housing and communal complex by reducing logistics risks.

Materials and methods. The study considers the most rational methods of risk assessment and the possibility of their synthesis.

Results. It is revealed that the assessment of the risks arising in the company’s logistic activity housing and utilities sector must be implemented using a systematic approach to analysis, i.e. analysis should be carried out on the basis of available data on logistics management company, by the use of analogy with the logistic activities of management companies, as well as on statistical data collected by the object of logistics activities. In the synthesis of all three methods, it is possible to obtain the most general and suitable for further work information on the state of risks from the logistics processes of the management company.

Conclusions. By applying a mathematical analysis of the logistics data management company, as well as performing quality control during work with the use of modern techniques for the warehouse and the introduction of electronic tracking of information and material flows, it is possible to reduce the risks associated with the logistic operations in the field of housing and communal complex. In General, this modernization of the logistics Department will not only increase the efficiency of work but also can improve the quality of services provided.

Authors: Schreiber Konstantin K. , Korol' Elena A.
Published: December 2019

Introduction. The federal-level approval of the long-term programme of flat building common property overhaul is aimed at the radical improvement of housing technical conditions. One of the significant problems on the way of its implementation is the absence of an actual normative basis of systematically integrated documents. Formation of the normative basis of the building and installation overhaul is implemented at various levels: intersectoral (at the level of a federal legislative authority), sectoral (at the level of authorized federal executive authority, i.e. the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation), organization group (self-regulating organizations) and specific organization.

Materials and methods. To develop methodological approaches to the formation of a normative basis of the flat building common property overhaul, the methodology of multilevel hierarchical systems theory based on function-system, probabilistic, statistical, and simulation methods were used as the theoretical ground.

Results. A normative and methodological basis of the flat building common property overhaul can be described as a two-level hierarchical system where a federal legislative authority is the superior managerial subsystem, federal executive authority is the inferior managerial subsystem, while the flat building common property overhaul is the managed process. A result of the efficient functioning of the system is the execution of the needed housing overhaul volumes with required quality and rational consumption of material, technical, labour, and financial resources.

Conclusions. Applicability of multilevel hierarchical system methodology using function-system, probabilistic, statistical, and simulation methods is substantiated for developing methodological approaches to forming a normative basis of the flat building common property overhaul. It is shown that the main advantages of application of the multilevel hierarchical system theory for the purposes of this research are possibility of rigorous mathematical formulating of the principles and results of functioning of the normative and methodological overhaul support system for the flat building common property and availability of conditions for studying different aspects of the system functioning using mathematical methods.

Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol compound which has an antioxidant properties. The objectives of this research are to understand and compare the characteristics of caffeine, chlorogenic acid, and polyphenolic content in Robusta coffee treated differently. These are necessary to find out effective postharvest methodfor chlorogenic acid extraction. There were two group of samples with the different treatment in process and post harvests. The coffee was treated differently during the sortation and classified into selected coffee of red cherry (fully mature cherry) and unselected coffee (partly mature cherry). The sortation was to maximize the chlorogenic acid content in green coffee bean sample from red cherry bean as the raw material. This research found that the contents of chlorogenic acid extract of green coffee bean from the selected red cherry was higher than the unselected. The HPLC analysis for chlorogenic acid contents of green coffeebean from the selected red cherry was 4.41%, it was higher than other samples tested.
Diversity and secularization in Europe. Analyzing the correlation between indexes of religiosity and cultural diversity in Europe
Authors: Botelho Moniz Jorge
Published: December 2019

The fast globalization of the second half of the 20th century and the advent of new demographic and migratory trends have awakened the social sciences to the growing complexity of regional cultural dynamics. Social scientists have begun to associate cultural diversity with modernity, predicting it as an inescapable and perennial condition of modern societies that affects, and is affected by, religious phenomena. However, few systematic, in-depth empirical researches have been made to assess these assertions. Thus, our paper puts forward the formulation of a diversity index (independent variable) based on four dimensions - linguistic, ethnic, religious, and place of birth - that is correlated with a (dependent) variable of individual religiosity. We conclude that, for the set of European countries and for the time period under analysis (1999-2014), theories of cultural diversity that link diversity to the displacement and recomposition of religiosity have no empirical validity.
El devenir refugiado en el procedimiento de asilo español
Authors: Ruiz-Estramil Ivana Belén
Published: December 2019

La política de asilo en la Unión Europea viene siendo tema de primicia desde 2015. El incremento de las solicitudes de asilo ha movilizado la esfera política y social hasta cotas nunca antes alcanzadas. La trascendencia del fenómeno ha despertado el interés de diversas disciplinas, no obstante, sigue existiendo un importante déficit desde la perspectiva cualitativa del fenómeno. Se presentan aquí algunos de los principales resultados del estudio sobre el procedimiento de asilo en España desde la vivencia de quienes solicitan el reconocimiento de una protección internacional. Desde el objetivo de indagar en la relación entre solicitante y procedimiento, es de interés aquí tanto la forma en la que se experimenta el proceso de asilo como el papel del mismo en la determinación del reconocimiento de los sujetos de protección. Como principal conclusión se recoge la construcción de subjetividad del solicitante de asilo mediada por el reconocimiento institucional.
Querer saber y querer hacer saber: dificultades y dilemas de la comunicación sociológica en la sociedad mediática
Authors: Barbeito Iglesias Roberto L.
Published: December 2019

Este texto muestra algunas limitaciones estructurales que los medios de comunicación (convencionales y digitales) imponen a la divulgación científica, en general, y a la sociológica, en particular. También discute el papel que desempeñan los científicos, en su condición de intelectuales, en la promoción del conocimiento sociológico, así como las dificultades que supone comunicar de un modo atractivo, pero no desvirtuado, a públicos amplios. El texto advierte el surgimiento de una nueva clase de intelectuales: los influencers; y, entre otras hipótesis, argumenta que los nuevos medios digitales pueden constituir una herramienta de gran utilidad para la comunicación sociológica y, por ende, para la mejora del proceso democrático, bajo el supuesto de que la sociología debe aplicarse no solo en proporcionar conocimientos prácticos sobre la sociedad, sino que también debe contribuir a que los ciudadanos aprendan a pensar los problemas sociales de una manera científica.
La divulgación de la sociología como contribución social: prácticas y retos para conectar con el gran público
Authors: Navarro Ardoy Luis
Published: December 2019

Este texto argumenta la importancia de la divulgación de la sociología como contribución social. Así, junto al obligado impacto académico, propone que la sociología necesita ganar terreno en impacto social mejorando la divulgación al gran público de su conocimiento científico. Si la sociología pretende ser ciencia de la sociedad, además de hablar para sociólogos y sociólogas, debería hacerlo para el gran público, sin perder el rigor, pero a su vez de forma amena esforzándose por aterrizar suavemente los resultados de la investigación al terreno de la experiencia cotidiana.
ELEMENTOS PARA UMA POLÍTICA BRASILEIRA DE ACESSO INTEGRADO, UTILIZAÇÃO E PRESERVAÇÃO DE ACERVOS DIGITAIS EM MEMÓRIA E CULTURA
Authors: Marcondes Carlos Henrique , Bettencourt Angela Maria Monteiro
Published: December 2019

Há vários anos instituições de Memória e Cultura brasileiras vêm desenvolvendo projetos de digitalização, preservação e acesso a acervos digitais. No entanto poucas dessas iniciativas são colaborativas e mesmo ainda envolvem acesso unificado a acervos de mais de uma instituição, além de sofrerem descontinuidades e de falta de recursos para sustentação continuada. Acervos digitais em memória e cultura têm potencialidades educacionais, culturais e econômicas que os acervos físicos não possuem. Esse trabalho revê as experiências brasileiras e internacionais de digitalização, preservação e acesso a acervos digitais e consulta documentos, projetos e literatura a respeito para ressaltar na tentativa de esboçar uma política brasileira de acesso unificado, preservação e utilização de acervos digitais em Memória e Cultura.
