TOWARDS DEVELOPING A DECISION-MAKING TOOL FOR TECHNOLOGY AND KNOWLEDGE PRIORITIES
Authors: Takala Josu , Tilabi Sara
Published: December 2019

The main focus of this paper is to propose a method for prioritizing knowledge and technology factor of firms towards sustainable competitive advantage. The data has been gathered and analyzed from two high tech start-ups in which technology and knowledge play major role in company‘s success. The analytical hierarchy model (AHP) is used to determine competitive priorities of the firms. Then knowledge and technology part of sense and respond questionnaire is used to calculate the variability coefficient i.e. the uncertainty caused by technology and knowledge factor. The proposed model is tested in terms of two start-ups. Based on the initial calculation of uncertainties, some improvement plan is proposed, and the method is applied again to see if the uncertainty of knowledge and technology decreases. In both cases, the proposed model helped to have a clear and precise improvement plan and led in reduction of uncertainty.
A MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM AND A COMPLAIN WEBSITE: HOW SPORT CLUBS MANAGE EXPERIENCES OF THEIR MEMBERS
Authors: Munaier Christian Gomes e Souza , Las Casas Alexandre Luzzi
Published: December 2019

To win and keep fans, the football clubs maintain programs of advantages, also called Loyalty Programs. These programs have gained importance for the finances of the institutions existing in Brazil, in fact 73 associations that have already created their programs, raising 1,301,339 consumers. However, these programs do not always meet the expectations of the fans. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of satisfaction and attendance of their complaints by the institutions involved in Loyalty Programs. Six programs were analyzed from the perspective of service marketing and customer satisfaction-supporter management. The study considered the proposals of the specifics programs and collected data on complaints and solutions given on the "ReclameAqui" (Complain Here) website. One of the results is that among the clubs studied, Atlético-MG, Corinthians and Palmeiras showed the best results in their efforts to solve problems.
AN INVESTIGATION ON THE FACTORS INFLUENCING ORGANIC FOOD PURCHASE INTENTION IN WUHAN
Authors: Anne-Laure Geffroy , Lie Ju , Aimin Wang
Published: December 2019

This paper aims to investigate the factors influencing the purchase intention of organic food in the mid-sized city of Wuhan (China). After reviewing relevant literature, the research method was developed based on five hypotheses and a handed survey online have been conducted with a total of 162 valid responses. The finding of this study revealed that purchase intention in Wuhan is influenced by similar factors as larger cities. Indeed, despite a lack of knowledge and trust, very few experiences with organic food products, high prices and lack of distribution channels, it does not stop consumers to intend purchasing organic food products.
Informaatiokäytäntöjen tutkimuksen teoreettisia ja metodologisia mahdollisuuksia
Authors: Louhivuori Jaakko
Published: December 2019

In this article I ponder how the actor-network theory and the practice-based studies can be applied in information practices research. The history of the actor-network theory goes back to the 1970s and 1980s and is linked to sociology as well as science and technology studies. Actually it was not intended to be so much a theory, but more like a method of combining actors into a wider story without preconceived ideas or laws of thought. In recent years, information practice research has paid more attention to the practice-based studies than to the actor-network theory. The quest for the full recognition of nonhuman factors as a part of information generation and its utilisation can be observed as a common ground with these two approaches. I believe, that if we apply the components of the actor-network theory and practice-based studies, we will get a more holistic view of information practices. These views and results may be used to review information practices and to develop the information processes further.
Peregrine’s sore. An analysis of the hagiographical reports on the leg disease of Saint Peregrine Laziosi of Forlì (1256–1345)
Authors: Passavanti Sandro
Published: December 2019

Saint Peregrine Laziosi of Forlì (1265–1345), healed in slumber by the

Christ from a fatal leg lesion at the age of sixty, is considered in the Catholic

tradition as the patron Saint of people suffering from incurable malignancies.

On the basis of later sources relating his miraculous healing, both Roman

Church and contemporary medical literature have hitherto endorsed various

diagnostic interpretations of Saint Peregrine’s disease, either to ascertain its

incurability and therefore the truthfulness of the miracle described by the

sources, or, on the contrary, aiming to provide a complete naturalistic account

of his lesion and instant healing. Albeit conflicting, both perspectives rest

upon a literal reading of the available texts about Peregrine’s life. Medical

scholarship on the subject, in particular, taking hagiographical reports as

reliable sources to establish the ‘clinical’ truth of the matter, ends up

neglecting the religious nature and the edifying purposes of extant written

witnesses. I propose in this article to tackle this problem through a

narratological lens, stressing on the literary templates and the medical

terminology which shape the most ancient and authoritative report about

Peregrine’s lower limb pathology. A retrospective diagnosis of venous

varicosity complications may indeed appear convincing, although not beyond

every doubt: notwithstanding its terminological accuracy, consistent with

ancient and medieval medical accounts of infected leg ulcerations, this text

builds strongly on a traditional scriptural and hagiographical background,

ranging from the Old Testament and the Gospels to early Byzantine Lives of

Saints. The impossibility to clearly distinguish the literate convention from the

historical account prevents us from stating with certainty the originality of

Peregrine’s pathological history, and hence the reliability of our sources as

clinical reports.
O planejamento da educação na contemporaneidade: a visão de gestores de escolas públicas de Recife e Olinda
Authors: Silva Alex , Silva Givanildo
Published: December 2019

Esta pesquisa se voltou para o estudo do planejamento da educação, tendo por foco o Plano Municipal de Educação das cidades de Recife e de Olinda. O estudo foi realizado por meio de uma abordagem com caráter exploratório. Os sujeitos entrevistados foram três gestores escolares, quatro vice-gestores e quatro coordenadores pedagógicos de quatro escolas, sendo duas de Recife e duas de Olinda, os quais contribuíram para a concepção de planejamento educacional vivenciado em escolas públicas. Como principais resultados, foi possível perceber que os Planos de Recife e de Olinda sinalizaram uma concepção de planejamento educacional global, sistematizando diferentes dimensões para a concretização de uma educação pública de boa qualidade. Ficou perceptível que os gestores escolares das instituições pesquisadas não têm a mesma visão sobre o planejamento da educação apresentada nos Planos.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um estudo experimental de intervenção em princípios de contagem, de modo a investigar sua eficácia. Para isso, inicialmente são apresentados estudos da área que investigaram os fatores preditivos do desempenho matemático, assim como o perfil acadêmico dos alunos que apresentam problemas nesse âmbito e as pesquisas de intervenção. O estudo contou com 136 alunos de 1º ano do ensino fundamental de três escolas públicas de Porto Alegre, divididos em grupo controle (n=76) e grupo experimental (n=60). A intervenção foi feita duas vezes por semana, durante duas semanas, apenas com o grupo experimental. Foi realizada uma análise estatística dos dados mediante o teste Z de comparação, e os resultados evidenciam a eficácia do programa de intervenção em princípios de contagem, uma vez que os alunos do grupo experimental demonstram avanços estatisticamente superiores aos alunos do grupo controle.
Apresentação

Published: December 2019

É com grande satisfação que a Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos (RBEP) publica o número 256 e, com ele, arremata seu 100º volume. Fruto da responsabilidade e do empenho de suas equipes de editoras e editores e da valorosa colaboração da comunidade acadêmica e científica, a Revista, a cada nova edição, reafirma seu compromisso com a qualidade, o rigor científico, a reflexão crítica, a liberdade de expressão, a ética democrática e o Direito à Educação. Princípios, conceitos, valores e marcos irrenunciáveis não apenas para nós.Este número é aberto com um artigo da pesquisadora Alcione Nawroski intitulado “Little proletarians in Warsaw: from practices of Janusz Korczak to theories of Paulo Freire” (“Pequenos proletários em Varsóvia: das práticas de Janusz Korczak às teorias de Paulo Freire”). Apresentado em inglês, o trabalho trata das teorias e práticas pedagógicas de dois grandes educadores do século XX: Janusz Korczak (1878-1942) e Paulo Freire (1921-1997). O primeiro foi um educador judeu-polonês que viveu boa parte da sua vida em Varsóvia, onde implementou suas ideias sobre educação infantil, que, neste artigo, são apresentadas com base no Maly Przeglad (“Pequena Revista”, em livre tradução) – um jornal fundado em 1926 e extinto em setembro de 1939, com a eclosão da Segunda Guerra Mundial.  O segundo, o educador brasileiro conhecido, entre ouras coisas, por abordar as questões da leitura e escrita de trabalhadores adultos. A autora considera que o fato de Korczak ter trabalhado com crianças e Freire com adultos nada os distancia, mas, pelo contrário, os aproxima por ambos tratarem do direito dos oprimidos à educação. Com efeito, o artigo propõe uma análise, baseada no Maly Przeglad , com vistas a compreender o perfil social e econômico de leitores infantis, o papel dos professores, e, finalmente, os conceitos educacionais que permearam a produção dos dois educadores. Para concluir, apresenta ideias sobre mídias sociais organizadas por meio da leitura e da escrita, capazes de elevar a consciência social daqueles e daquelas menos favorecidos socialmente.

Nova gestão pública e as consequências da responsabilização na gestão educacional
Authors: Souza Allan Solano
Published: December 2019

O presente trabalho tem como fundamento uma perspectiva sociológica, objetivando contribuir com uma reflexão crítica sobre as implicações desse modelo gerencial na gestão educacional. Os caminhos percorridos para essa construção consistiram na leitura do referencial teórico e na exploração do documento do CLAD. Constatou-se que as estratégias de responsabilização são respostas provisórias da Nova Gestão Pública à crise do modelo burocrático. As políticas educacionais brasileiras têm se incorporado com mais intensidade a partir da década de 1990 e se expandido ao longo dos anos 2000, principalmente considerando as consequências dos resultados das avaliações externas para os sistemas educacionais e o seu uso na gestão educacional.
Entre saberes e identidades, a escola e a mediação sociopedagógica
Authors: Vieira Ricardo Manuel das Neves , Vieira Ana Maria de Sousa Neves
Published: December 2019

Este texto discute o papel da escola que se diz para todos e sua articulação com a cultura local, seus etnossaberes e a cultura legítima do Estado-Nação. Procura demonstrar como o conhecimento nunca é neutro e como todo a aprendizagem é feita sob uma base cultural, uma mente cultural. Conscientes de que todo o ensino-aprendizagem produz alterações culturais e identitárias, os autores defendem o papel de uma escola e de um professor mediador de culturas, saberes e identidades, sob pena de que o sucesso escolar signifique a adoção de uma cultura monolítica tida como universalizável e a morte das culturas locais tornando-se os alunos indivíduos oblatos na medida em que rejeitem as suas pertenças e culturas de origem. As etnobiografias surgem neste ensaio como um bom exemplo da mediação intercultural na descoberta de si e dos outros e poderão ser úteis numa gestão escolar inclusiva e plural.
A importância da gestão democrática para a implementação das políticas curriculares de ação afirmativa e sua relação com a formação de gestores
Authors: Monteiro Rosana Batista
Published: December 2019

O presente texto busca refletir sobre a relação entre formação continuada de educadores, gestão escolar democrática e a implementação do que denominamos de política curricular de ação afirmativa. Tal política curricular de ação afirmativa é constituída pelo conjunto de instrumentos legais - a Lei Federal n. 10639/03, que alterou a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional n. 9394/96 (LDB), incluindo os artigos 26 A e 79 B; o Parecer CNE/CP 03 de 2004 e a Resolução CNE/CP 01/2004, que instituiu as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para Educação das Relações Étnico-raciais e para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-brasileira e Africana (DCNERER). A partir das atividades de extensão realizadas pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Educação, Território Negros e Saúde (ETNS), o artigo mostra a importância da gestão escolar democrática e participativa para a implementação da referida política curricular e da necessidade de formação de gestores nesta perspectiva.
Drawing Canyon: Sfumato presences in drawing and landscape
Authors: Twose Simon , Moloney Jules
Published: December 2019

Drawings are fields of multiple, hovering presences. A rapidly sketched line in an architectural drawing, of say, a landscape, describes its form but can also record its presence, evoking vastness or a dynamic material potential. Yet the sketch is itself imbued with presence; smudges, blurs and erasures record the rapid actions of pencil over paper in the draughtsperson’s pursuit of an architectural idea. The blurs of graphite are evidence of hand and mind moving over paper and, at the same time, massive atmospheric potentials of rock, mud and sea. In this way, the sketched mark continually hovers between being a smudge of graphite and an immense landscape, the presences in both inflecting one another as if sfumato lights and darks in a painting. This paper reports on Canyon, an experimental drawing project that intensifies drawing’s capacity for sfumato presences by sketching a submarine landscape using a multi-modal technique. Canyon attempts to develop an ever-emergent, nascent architecture from presences in drawing and landscape through analogue sketches, VR and soundscapes. The first stage of Canyon was exhibited at the Palazzo Bembo in the XVI Venice Biennale, 2018.

Canyon draws presences from the dynamic undersea landscape of Kaikōura Canyon, Aotearoa/New Zealand. A series of hand sketches, soundscapes and virtual reality (VR) distils an architectural sense of the bathymetry and vast body of water of the canyon, recently jolted by huge forces in the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. This submarine landscape is known through instrumental descriptions: sonic scans, digital models and scientific data, yet its powerful and ominous spatial presence is less easy to record. The Canyon drawings project into this unseen, imagined space, drawing its ominous presence through smudged and irresolute sketches that are intensified in a VR environment and in a series of immersive soundscapes. This hybrid, multi-sensorial drawing technique attempts to make presences in drawing and in the Kaikōura Canyon share the same space, as an inhabitable, open sketch.

This work proposes hybrid drawing as an open medium figured by presences in drawing and in landscape. It resonates with Jean Luc Nancy’s notion of drawing as the opening of form, indicating “the traced figure’s ‘essential incompleteness, a non-closure or non-totalizing of form’” (Nancy 2013: 1). We extend the openness of gestural, analogue sketching to the digital and sensorial, and argue that VR, and sound, can be sketch-like: they too are figured by “recalcitrant, ‘meaningless’ smears and blotches” (Elkins 1995: 860). We argue these hybrid, “non-semiotic” marks draw presences, from material, scale and sense in drawing and landscape: presences that hover in sfumato relation, pointing to a sketch-like, ever-emergent architecture.

El retrabajo del ethos en el discurso autotraducido. El caso de Rosario Ferré
Authors: Spoturno María Laura
Published: December 2019

Este artículo explora la construcción de la subjetividad en el discurso literario autotraducido. Según sostendremos, la noción de retrabajo del ethos previo, definida por Amossy (2001, 2010, 2014) como el conjunto de elementos y procedimientos sociodiscursivos que le permiten al locutor restaurar, modificar o transformar en un nuevo intercambio la imagen que el interlocutor pueda tener respecto del orador, resulta productiva para reflexionar acerca de la naturaleza distintiva de la práctica discursiva conocida como autotraducción (Grutman y Von Bolderen, 2014; Ferrara y Grutman, 2016). Nuestra propuesta teórico-metodológica será puesta a prueba a través del análisis de dos ensayos de la escritora puertorriqueña Rosario Ferré (1990, 1991a). Este trabajo persigue dos objetivos: articular una propuesta que, a partir de la noción de retrabajo del ethos explique la singularidad de la subjetividad en el discurso autotraducido y, en el plano del análisis, aportar al estudio de la autotraducción en el campo de las literaturas latinas de Estados Unidos.
traductions françaises de «The Origin of Species»: approche lexicométrique
Authors: Vandaele Sylvie
Published: December 2019

Nous avons eu recours à une analyse lexicométrique (effectuée à l’aide du logiciel Hyperbase) afin de capturer les variations des six éditions originales de The Origin of Species, de Charles Darwin, ainsi que celles des traductions françaises de la 1re, 3e, et 6e édition. Le corpus source se caractérise par une plus grande homogénéité que le corpus traduit, mais les spécificités relevées pointent vers des éléments saillants de la pensée darwinienne et de son évolution. Le corpus traduit, quant à lui, présente des variations qui reflètent le choix des traducteurs et qui soulignent que l’accès à la pensée de Darwin, pour le lecteur francophone, reste incomplet. Les avantages et les inconvénients de la méthode sont également discutés.
Hispanoamérica desde afuera y desde adentro: las publicaciones sobre traducción en libros, capítulos y actas de congreso
Authors: Vargas Gómez Francisco Javier
Published: December 2019

Se delimita la evolución y estado actual de las publicaciones (libros y capítulos) en Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación (ETI) publicados en y sobre Hispanoamérica. Se extrae información de BITRA (base de datos especializada en ETI) y se aplican técnicas de conteo de publicaciones. Los resultados revelan un aumento de la productividad desde mediados de los ochenta, un rezago de diez años en la región y la constatación de especialistas en y sobre Hispanoamérica. También se observa el predominio de los temas literarios, históricos y estudios de caso, del español al publicar, y de las editoriales no especializadas, entre otros.
Modulaciones de la materia artúrica: el episodio de la «Pesme Aventure» en «Yvain» y «Owein»
Authors: Cordo Russo Luciana
Published: December 2019

El episodio del Negro Opresor («Du Traws») del relato galés medieval Chwedyl Iarlles y Ffynnawn («El cuento de la señora del pozo») ha sido ponderado por gran parte de la crítica como un añadido, fundamentalmente por encontrarse luego del cierre y de la resolución del problema central del cuento y estar débilmente vinculado con el resto de la trama. Se trata de la reelaboración de la secuencia de la Pesme Aventure del roman de Chrétien de Troyes Yvain ou Le chevalier au lion, con quien el texto galés comparte gran parte de su historia. Este trabajo busca ofrecer una interpretación de la reescritura del episodio de la Pesme Aventure a partir de la consideración del relato galés como traducción y de algunas herramientas analíticas provenientes de los Estudios de Traducción y de la Narratología.
Philosophy of Religion and Philosophical Theology: some ideas on drawing the demarcation
Authors: Karpov Kirill
Published: December 2019

In this paper I consider two books of Vladimir Shokhin, a distinguished philosopher in Russia, on philosophy of religion (2010) and philosophical theology (2018) as one project aimed at drawing the demarcation between these two disciplines. In what follows I will present Shokhin’s project and show briefly how it fits in with the current discussion on the topic, then, draw some consequences from his position, and make some critical notes, and at the end I will briefly present some my views on the problem of drawing clear lines of demarcation between philosophy of religion and philosophical theology on the basis of the following questions: (1) what is the topic of the disciplines, (2) what are their methods, (3) what are their guiding lines, and (4) who may exercise them?
Rituals and Algorithms: Genealogy of Reflective Faith and Postmetaphysical Thinking
Authors: Matuštík Martin Beck
Published: December 2019

What happens when mindless symbols of algorithmic AI encounter mindful performative rituals? I return to my criticisms of Habermas’ secularising reading of Kierkegaard’s ethics. Next, I lay out Habermas’ claim that the sacred complex of ritual and myth contains the ur-origins of postmetaphysical thinking and reflective faith. If reflective faith shares with ritual same origins as does communicative interaction, how do we access these archaic ritual sources of human solidarity in the age of AI?
Acceso abierto a la producción científica de Uruguay: poca historia en 10 años (2009-2018)
Authors: Aguirre-Ligüera Natalia , Maldini Juan , Fontans Exequiel
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo analiza los avances del acceso abierto a la literatura científica en Uruguay en los últimos diez años. Se basa en un análisis cuantitativo de carácter exploratorio de los artículos publicados y en el relato de iniciativas locales. Se identifican políticas institucionales recientes y poco consolidadas, aún sin alcance nacional. Se analizan las publicaciones de autores con filiación nacional uruguaya en acceso abierto a partir de la WOS, encontrando un 37,3% de artículos disponibles en forma inmediata y en constante aumento, empujado por la vía dorada. Se analizan las políticas editoriales de las revistas en Sherpa Romeo y se encuentra que el 50,7% no está disponible en acceso abierto pero podría ser depositado en repositorios. Sumando ambas categorías se halla que un 88% de la producción considerada está o podría estar disponible en acceso abierto. Se concluye que es necesario generar estudios adicionales en torno al acceso abierto para Uruguay.
Representación, mandato y poder. Una encrucijada entre el derecho de forma y de fondo
Authors: Nugoli Solange Carolina , Leturia Mauro F. , Gochicoa Adrián E.
Published: December 2019

El análisis realizado en el presente importa un profundo estudio y delimitación conceptual del “mandato”, la “representación” y el “poder” a la luz del Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación. Asimismo, se trabajarán sus repercusiones jurisprudenciales, cimentadas sobre los Códigos de forma de la Nación y de la provincia de Buenos Aires. El eje central del trabajo se apuntala en la forma como elemento esencial de la “representación procesal voluntaria”, focalizándose en la regulación que se realizaba en el Código de Vélez, los cambios a la luz del nuevo Código Civil y Comercial, y la regulación que realiza el Código Procesal Civil y Comercial de la provincia de Buenos Aires y el de Nación.
Evolución de la responsabilidad civil en el derecho argentino y español
Authors: Masci Belén
Published: December 2019

La Responsabilidad Civil es un tópico que acompaña al hombre en su evolución, a la par de sus necesidades, de su vida y de su concepto de justicia. Dicha metamorfosis, será estudiada  navegando de manera comparativa por las aguas del derecho argentino y las del derecho español, viendo cómo ambos avanzan en igual sentido hasta cierto punto de disparidad. Tanto el código civil argentino como el español siguen el sistema romano-germánico teniendo como fuente el modelo francés, en este sentido se visualizará que ambos han dividido a la Responsabilidad en Contractual y Extracontractual. La aclamación de una Teoría General de la Obligación aplicable a ambas órbitas se ha producido en ambos países, sin embargo en Argentina ese pedido fue recepcionado por el Código Civil y Comercial que entró en vigor en Agosto 2015; ello es sin dudas la asignatura pendiente del derecho español.

Avances con miras a la protección de los consumidores en el Mercosur
Authors: Scotti Luciana Beatriz
Published: December 2019

A fin de remediar la desigualdad de las partes en las relaciones de consumo, los legisladores nacionales se han ocupado de dictar leyes protectorias que procuran hallar un cierto equilibrio negocial entre los contratantes. Sin embargo, en estos tiempos posmodernos, la protección de los consumidores ha dejado de ser un objetivo exclusivamente nacional. En la actualidad, las respuestas jurídicas para las relaciones de consumo transfronterizas deben provenir de los ámbitos regionales e internacionales. En particular, en un proceso de integración regional, como el Mercosur, que propende la libre circulación de bienes, servicios, personas y capitales, se torna ineludible adoptar acciones concretas para la protección de los consumidores y usuarios que entablan relaciones jurídicas en nuestra región. Entre dichas iniciativas, recientemente el Consejo Mercado Común (CMC) ha aprobado el Acuerdo sobre derecho aplicable en materia de contratos internacionales de consumo.
La “Ley del arrepentido” y la “Extinción de dominio”: una lectura humanista contra el utilitarismo
Authors: Catz Shirly Mariel
Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este este artículo es analizar dos nuevas figuras del Derecho argentino, la “Ley del arrepentido” y la “Extinción de dominio”, y su relación con las garantías consagradas en nuestra Constitución Nacional. Estudiaremos, en primer lugar, la relación que mantiene la “Ley del arrepentido” con el llamado “derecho premial”, y presentaremos una investigación de la “Ley del arrepentido” y sus antecedentes en Argentina y en el derecho comparado, para tratar de elucidar su naturaleza jurídica y estudiar su utilidad como instrumento jurídico. Analizaremos, a su vez, la llamada “Extinción de dominio” y trataremos de determinar si su aplicación es o no  inconstitucional.

El sistema de compatibilidades entre el trabajo y la jubilación en los ordenamientos previsionales nacional y de la provincia de Buenos Aires
Authors: Balbín Adolfo Nicolás
Published: December 2019

En este trabajo se analiza el sistema de compatibilidades entre los roles de trabajador en relación de dependencia y jubilado y, por derivación, la posibilidad que una persona tiene de acumular en un mismo tiempo, el salario con el goce del haber previsional. Para ese estudio, se parte del sistema previsional nacional regulado en la Ley 24.241 y su paralelo de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Decreto Ley 9650/80. El objetivo del trabajo es lograr comprender las características principales de cada uno de ellos y, a la vez, construir posibles vinculaciones entre ambos. Si bien este artículo apunta más que nada al estudio de institutos de la seguridad social, conscientes de la interrelación que media entre esa rama jurídica y el derecho del trabajo, al inicio de la investigación se invierte la prevalencia y se comienza por estudiar las tipologías contractuales y la jubilación como su forma de extinción ordinaria.

Published: December 2019

In veterinary medicine, sensitive and specific markers of the early stages of renal failure still remain to be established. Podocytes could be a promising diagnostic tool in veterinary nephrology, especially in the differentiation of active pathological disease and glomerulopathies. Podocin is one of the robust proteins exploitable in detection of podocyturia. This article presents podocyte detection in urine for diagnostic purposes in veterinary medicine using a variety of methods. We describe the advantages and disadvantages of the immunohistochemical technique currently used, and of scanning microscopy, chromatography, and immunostaining. The identification of podocin-positive cells is a promising diagnostic tool in the detection of the early stages of glomerular basement membrane damage. The detection of renal failure prior to the occurrence of azotaemia is of high clinical importance from the clinical and scientific points of view.
Pathological changes in natural infection of pheasants with highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N8) in Bulgaria
Authors: Stoimenov Georgi M. , Goujgoulova Gabriela V. , Nikolov Branimir , Hristov Kalin , Teneva Atanaska
Published: December 2019

Introduction

The study of histopathological changes caused by influenza A (H5N8) viral infection in bird species is essential for the understanding of their role in the spread of this highly infectious virus. However, there are few such studies under natural conditions in minor gallinaceous species. This article describes the pathomorphological findings in Colchis pheasants infected naturally with H5N8 during an epizootic outbreak in Bulgaria.

Material and Methods

Samples of internal organs of 10 carcasses were collected for histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation, virus isolation and identification, and nucleic acid detection.

Results

Consistent macroscopic findings were lesions affecting the intestine, heart, lung, and pancreas. Congestion and mononuclear infiltrate were common findings in the small intestine, as were necrosis and lymphoid clusters in the lamina propria of the caeca. Congestion with small focal necrosis and gliosis with multifocal nonpurulent encephalitis were observed in the brain. Myocardial interstitial oedema and degenerative necrobiotic processes were also detected. Immunohistological analysis confirmed systemic infection and revealed influenza virus nucleoprotein in all analysed organs.

Conclusion

Variable necrosis was observed in the brain, liver, trachea, heart, small intestine, and caeca. Viral antigen was commonly found in the brain, heart, lung and trachea. Contact with migrating waterfowls was suspected as a reason for the outbreak.

This work presents the geotechnical problems occurring in the interaction area between road embankments and the bridge structures in case a subsoil characterised by complex and complicated geological and engineering conditions. These significant problems that occur during the design, performance and exploitation of the abutment structures, are illustrated on the example of engineering practice in Lower Silesia, concerning a road embankment that constitutes access to the bridge. The results of numerical analyses concerning the process of consolidation of low-strength soils and their impact on the settlements of road embankment indicate the need to carry out such analyses also in the cases, when the soft soils occur in the direct geotechnical layer under the designed embankment. The Authors included in this article a discussion regarding other effective actions and solutions that can be used in the design and performance phase, leading to the elimination or reduction of problems concerning the connection of engineering structures with road embankments, which have been recurring for years, ultimately resulting in the improvement of quality, comfort and safety of road exploitation.

Each employee when working at enterprises is expected to be entitled to full benefits from social insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance after years of contribution. However, this desire of the employees sometimes can not be achieved. Enterprises have taken advantage of the legal loophole to commit acts of evasion (avoidance) to fulfill these obligations to employees. Therefore, the benefits of employees are seriously damaged and the management agencies of the social insurance fund also lose. This article is about the current situation in Vietnam and point out some policy suggestions.

Published: December 2019

In recent years, the transition from traditional Linear Economy to Circular Economy has become a global trend. However, the implementation of each country may vary, with specific priorities. This paper aims at analyzing the concept of Circular Economy and some international experience of implementing Circular Economy. Accordingly, the Circular Economy is not a homogeneous model for the whole economy, but it includes plenty of different models built on the same philosophy, the philosophy of regeneration and restoration. Based on the international experience, some policy implications for Vietnam are discussed.

Published: December 2019

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) and absolute risk (AR) among first-degree consanguinity relatives of Colombian patients with hypertension. Methods: The study comprised 227 relatives (siblings and children of both sexes, between 12 and 40 years of age) and 204 hypertensive patients 34-84 years old from Quindío, Colombia. Lipid profile, glycemia, smoking, body mass index, and blood pressure were analyzed, and the AR of cardiovascular disease (CVD) to 10 years was estimated. Relatives were divided into two groups: GF1 relatives 18 years. Results: three or more CRF were found in the three groups. The prevalence for smoking was 20.1%, 9.1%, and 15.9% in patients, GF1, and GF2, respectively. Hypercholesterolemia was 42.2%, 15.2%, and 18.6% in patients, GF1, and GF2, respectively. The prevalence of low HDL-c levels was 50.5%, 44.9%, and 63.6% in relatives, GF1, and GF2, respectively. Obesity was present alone in patients, (32.4%) and GF2 (10.8%). The AR was 19.6 and 6.4 in male and female patients, respectively; 0.31 and 0 in GF1 females and males, respectively, and in GF2 it was 1.5 and 0.15 in males and females, respectively. Conclusions: Patients and relatives had more than three CRFs. HDL-c was low in all three groups. The AR was high in the young relatives. Programs are needed for weight, smoking, sedentary and dyslipidemia control to prevent or delay the development of CVD in relatives.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Previous reports have identified a region of chromosome 21 known as Down ayndrome critical region (DSCR) in which the expression of some genes would modulate the main clinical characteristics of this pathology. In this sense, there is currently limited information on the architecture of the DSCR associated. Objective: To obtain in silico a detailed vision of the chromatin structure associated with the evaluation of genomic covariables contained in public data bases. Methods: Taking as reference the information consigned in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the Genome Browser from the University of California at Santa Cruz and from the HapMap project, a chromosome walk along 21 Mb of the distal portion of chromosome 21q arm was performed. In this distal portion, the number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), number of CpG islands, repetitive elements, recombination frequencies, and topographical state of that chromatin were recorded. Results: The frequency of CpG islands and Ref genes increased in the more distal 1.2 Mb DSCR that contrast with those localized near to the centromere. The highest level of recombination calculated for women was registered in the 21q22.12 to 22.3 bands. DSCR 6 and 9 genes showed a high percentage of methylation in CpG islands in DNA from normal and trisomic fibroblasts. The DSCR2 gene exhibited high levels of open chromatin and also methylation in some lysine residues of the histone H3 as relevant characteristics. Conclusion: The existence of a genomic environment characterized by high values of recombination frequencies and CpG methylation in DSCR 6 and 9 and also DSCR2 genes led us to postulate that in non-disjunction detected in Down syndrome, complex genomic, epigenetic and environmental relationships regulate some processes of meiosis.

Published: December 2019

Objective: To establish the relationship between lifestyle for prevention of cervix and breast cancer and perceptual cognitive factors from the Pender model in working women. Materials and methods: Correlation and cross-sectional study with a random sample of 143 working women. The Lifestyle index is the total score of 5 variables: Papanicolau test, breast self-exam, physical activity, body mass index, and cigarette smoking. Results: The mean age for the sample was 44.4 + 6.2; 87% of the women had higher education and 85% were working in health care services. A total of 89% of the women had unhealthy lifestyles because of the lack of regular physical activity, not having a Papanicolau test according to the norm, not practicing breast self-exams, and having an altered body mass index. There was significant correlation between lifestyle and occupation, and also with self-efficacy perception for breast self-examination. Conclusion: The lifestyles for most of the women sampled were unhealthy. Recommendations: It is also recommend conducting culturally sensitive healthcare campaigns in addition to setting up flexible attention schedules for women.

Authors: Song Duo , Dai Xian wei , Chen Chun sheng
Published: December 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mucosa suspension procedure (MSP) by comparing procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH). Methods: We compared the safety, clinical outcome, and cost between PPH and MSP for the surgical treatment of hemorrhoidal disease. A total of 80 patients with II and III degree hemorrhoids were included in the study. MSP group (n=40) and PPH group (n=40) were applied at random. Results: Both MSP and PPH are safe surgical treatments for patients with II and III degree hemorrhoids. Complications of the patients, such as persistent pain and tenesmus in the MSP group were less than the PPH group. Moreover, MSP had lower costs. Conclusion: MSP is a safe, effective, and inexpensive procedure for patients with hemorrhoidal disease. We consider that this technique should be widely used.

Published: December 2019

PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a routinely used tool in every diagnostic and research laboratory. This technique has been used in detection of mutations and pathogens, forensic investigation, and even is the base tool for human genome sequencing. A modification of PCR technique, real time PCR, allows the quantification of nucleic acids with higher sensibility, specificity and reproducibility. This article is intended to clarify the foundations of real-time PCR, using an application model for virology. In the actual work, it was quantified the viral load of dengue virus serotype 2 produced from infected murine macrophages; the obtained results in this work established that murine strain BALB/c presents a greater susceptibility to dengue virus infection, which establishes BALB/c murine strain as a best model of study for investigation of dengue virus infection physiopathology.
