Torah in the Persian Period
Authors: Collins John J.
Published: September 2017

The Torah played little part in the restoration after the Exile or in the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. It is absent from the Elephantine papyri, except for the so-called Passover Papyrus, which attempts to introduce the Priestly dates for the festival. It gained authority in Judah under Ezra, who used it selectively to enforce a separatist ideology.
The Beginnings of Islam in Afghanistan
Authors: Azad Arezou
Published: September 2017

Covering the period from 709 to 871, this chapter traces the initial conversion of Afghanistan from Zoroastrianism and Buddhism to Islam. Highlighting the differential developments in four regions of Afghanistan, it discusses the very earliest history of Afghan Islam both as a religion and as a political system in the form of a caliphate.  The chapter draws on under-utilized sources, such as fourth to eighth century Bactrian documents from Tukharistan and medieval Arabic and Persian histories of Balkh, Herat and Sistan. In so doing, it offers a paradigm shift in the way early Islam is understood by arguing that it did not arrive in Afghanistan as a finished product, but instead grew out of Afghanistan’s multi-religious context. Through fusions with Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, early Abrahamic traditions, and local cult practices, the Islam that resulted was less an Arab Islam that was imported wholesale than a patchwork of various cultural practices.
The Rise of the Khwajagan-Naqshbandiyya Sufi Order in Timurid Herat
Authors: Paul Jürgen
Published: September 2017

This chapter addresses the question why and how the Khwajagan-Naqshbandi order became the paramount Sufi group in Timurid Herat, so paving the way for the central Naqshbandi role in Afghan society down to the twentieth century. At the beginning of the fifteenth century they came to Herat as outsiders from the Bukhara region with the odds against them. The major factors in their rise to prominence seem to have been their Shari’a-mindedness, their flexibility in ritual practice and mystical training, and their intellectual appeal, particularly for the Timurid ruling elite. Another important factor was the sliding towards Naqshbandi tenets of local shrine shaykhs such as the wealthy Sufi descendants of Ahmad-i Jam. Political support became instrumental in the 1450s when the newly established group around Khwaja Ahrar in Samarqand exercised a notable influence. Since the impact of the Naqshbandiyya on Afghan Islam can hardly be overestimated, this chapter shows its early history before the later chapter by Waleed Ziad turns to its second phase when it won the support of the Afghan Durrani Empire in the eighteenth century.
Research into Genetically Modified Organisms in New Zealand: An Examination of a Sociotechnical Controversy
Authors: Edwards Sarah
Published: September 2017

New Zealand is known around the world as a country that is clean, green and “100% Pure.” The existence of genetically modified organisms in New Zealand is generally viewed as inconsistent with this identity, and there is therefore considerable public controversy surrounding research that utilises genetic modification techniques. In this paper, I examine the variety of interacting factors that are serving to shape this controversy, the influence it is having on research practices, and the implications for future risk management policy.

Published: September 2017

Peach and nectarine (Prunus persica ) production has an important place in the world, being the most important fruit after apple crops in the European Union. Because the fruits are perishable, it is desirable to valorize them as juice. Seven peaches and three nectarines cultivars grown in the N-W part of Romania were investigated for quality parameters, volatile profile, total phenols content and antioxidant capacity. The volatile composition of peach and nectarine cultivars was determined via the ITEX/GC-MS technique, the main volatile compounds belonging to alcohols and aldehydes. Another objective was to obtain the pasteurised juices from these fruits and to investigate the best time of pasteurisation in order to identify the most valuable cultivar from the perspective of total phenols content and its antioxidant capacity. For a better interpretation of results and a proper discrimination between cultivars, according to the total phenols content and antioxidant capacity, the multivariate analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) were applied. The peach cultivars showed the highest content in total phenols compared with nectarine. From peach cultivars, the highest concentration was recorded in ‘Southland’ (47.49 ± 0.14 mg GAE 100 g-1 FW) and from nectarine cultivars in ‘Romamer’ (16.28 ± 0.83 mg GAE 100 g-1 FW). The highest antioxidant capacities were recorded in ‘Southland’ peach in the case of both methods (DPPH and FRAP). The results showed that ‘Southland’ peach and ‘Romamer’ nectarine pasteurised juices are the best from the point of view of total phenolic compounds content with high antioxidant capacity.

Agaricus spp. mushrooms are edible fungi of commercial and medicinal importance. Mushrooms convert nutritionally valueless substances into proteinous food with a very efficient bioconversion. Consumption of mushrooms, has increased substantially due to their delicacy, flavour, nutritional and medicinal value, being considered an excellent source of protein, which can contribute to the formulation of a balanced diet. Three species of Agaricus spp. mushrooms were used in this study: Agaricus campestris (L. ex Fr.), Agaricus bisporus (J.E. Lange) and Agaricus blazei (Murrill). This study aims to examine the effects of blanching, soaking and manufacturing processes (sun drying, oven drying and canning) on some chemical constituents of mushrooms (soluble dry matter, protein and total sugars). The analyses were performed initially at conservation and they were repeated after 6, 12 and 18 months of preservation. Since all treatments caused reduction of the dry matter content, it can be concluded that the smallest decrease during the storage period was recorded by soaked and sun dried A. blazei (1.6 g 100 g-1 FM). The maximum soluble dry matter loss was recorded at blanched and canned A. bisporus (2.8 g 100 g-1 FM). Blanching treatment of preheated (sun dried and oven dried) samples, after storage period, led the protein content to slightly decrease, between 0.4 g 100 g-1 DM and 0.8 g 100 g-1 DM. The smallest decrease of total sugars during the storage period was registered by canned, untreated A. campestris with 1.2 g 100 g-1 DM and the largest decrease was registered by blanched oven dried A. blazei with 2.9 g 100 g-1 DM.

The paper presents the results obtained on preluvo-soil in Sâniob, Oradea, during 2007-2015. In order to maintain the soil water content between easily available water content and field capacity, the irrigation rate used was between 60 mm/ha and 470 mm/ha. Irrigation determined an increase of the total water consumption by 53% (712 mm/ha vs. 466 mm/ha). For the non-irrigated variant (71%) and for the irrigated one (46%), the rainfalls registered between 15 March-1 October yearly represented the main source of supplying the total water consumption, while irrigation supplied 40% of the total water consumption (with a variation range 11%-61%). The microsprinkler irrigation system led to a 30.6% yield gain, with a variation range of 15.8%-58.7%. It also determined a higher size index in comparison with the non-irrigated variant and a smaller percentage of kernels. All differences were statistically very significant. Several correlations were quantified in the soil-water-plant-atmosphere system. The parameters of the system were: pedological drought, strong pedological drought and water consumption. All correlations were statistically very significant; the best mathematical expression was the polynomial function. Four methods (Penman Monteith, Pan, Piche and Thornthwaite evaporimeter methods) were studied to determine the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) in comparison with the optimal water consumption of the peach tree. As it was cheaper and easier to use, the Pan evaporation method was recommended in the irrigation scheduling, although the Penman Monteith method could have given more accurate results in assessing the optimal water consumption.

Published: September 2017

Coastal/lowland quinoa ecotype is an important source of germplasm due to its cultivation in cold-temperate and high latitude areas. However, the interaction of its morphological traits and yields to define breeding criteria is unknown. The present study was designed to characterize the phenotypic diversity of twelve coastal/lowland quinoas using sixteen standardized morphological descriptors under rainfed conditions in central Chile. Complementary analysis of uni- and multi- variate tools allowed a fuller understanding of interrelationships within quinoa germplasm. Through the analysis of frequency distribution, it was possible to determine that genotypes were characterized by plants having low height and medium grain yield. Cluster analysis revealed that plant morphological variables were independently grouped from grain yield components. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA, 74.8% of total variation data), revealed the existence of three outstanding genotypes (QC01, QC02 and QC05) that were distantly located from the average dispersion of entire germplasm collection. These genotypes were associated with grain yield components, allowing the identification of two groups of high yield (VI and VII), which yielded 3337.7 and 3052.0 kg ha-1, respectively. The data set presented in this study is the first report of coastal/lowland quinoas assessed in central Chile and could assist the development of breeding programmes in cold-temperate areas having similar agro-climatic conditions.

In the case of forests located in the close proximity of urban centres, the functions and conventional roles of the forests have to be largely reconsidered. An experimental study area was located in Făget Forest, near the city of Cluj-Napoca, North-West of Romania, as a subject to evaluate different natural risks, especially landslides. Although most of this area is stabilized, human activity became in the last period the most aggressive and active factor that can induce changes in slopes stability. The evaluation based on new changes on the terrain and constructions has clearly revealed the effect of the unprecedented urban sprawl and the expansion of infrastructure elements and residential buildings. Landslide susceptibility map was elaborated using a multivariate statistical analysis and the Geographical Information System (GIS) technology on a predetermined path inside the forest, as well as obtaining valuable information about the tree species. Based on 14 surveys, each of them covering an area of 500 m2 on a longitudinal transect of the forest, there were identified relatively few tree species with a significant share: Carpinus betulus (42.9%), Fagus sylvatica (24.9%), Quercus petraea (23.2%), Q. robur (6.3%), Prunus avium (1.2%). Their positive roles on avoiding or limiting the flow on slopes, flooding, landslides etc. are different depending on the position, terrain, forest composition, trees density, slope, exposition, but it is fundamental beneficial. However, these species can assure productive (as wood), ameliorative, ecological, landscape, cultural, educational, relaxation roles, and consequently inestimable values.

Published: September 2017

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a medicinal plant used worldwide since ancient times. Its use as smelling agent and spice was documented since 15th century. The genus Trigonella includes around 260 species diffused worldwide and belonging to Fabaceae family. In the last decades, a number of studies highlighted the biological activities and therapeutic properties of this species mainly attributed to bioactive secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids and saponins. In particular, diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, has been investigated for its medicinal uses and fenugreek has been reported as source of raw material for the production of steroidal hormones. This review article focuses on the cultivation, genetics, ecophysiology and traditional uses of fenugreek, as well as on its medicinal properties, phytochemical and nutrient contents. Extraction procedures and pharmacological activities of diosgenin are also reviewed, as well as methods for its chemical analyses. This review focuses on the medicinal importance of Fenugreek and its important secondary metabolite diosgenin. The review article complies the results of pre-clinical studies conducted to establish the various medicinal applications of diosgenin. This will help researcher to discover fundamental role of diosgenin as a potential product for drug manufacturers and use of fenugreek as a source of diosgenin.
Body dissatisfaction among Iranian youth and adults

Published: September 2017

Abstract: Despite the importance of body satisfaction on one’s self image and well-being, little has been written about body image or how it affects people in Iran. The aim of this study is to assess body dissatisfaction and its risk factors in the general Iranian population. The sample size for this cross-sectional study included approximately 1,200 participants (both male and female) and was conducted in 2011. Body dissatisfaction (based on the Figure Rating Scale), demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, body mass index (BMI) and use of the media were recorded. Nearly two thirds of the participants were included in the middle age group and roughly half of them had a university education. Approximately two thirds of the participants were satisfied with their body. The mean score of body dissatisfaction in women was greater than men (p < 0.0001). Age, gender, marital status and BMI had a significant relationship with body dissatisfaction. The finding of this study demonstrates that in Iran, body dissatisfaction and it consequences must be addressed. While the prevalence and pattern of body dissatisfaction in Iran is as high as other Asian countries, considering cultural variation within Asian countries is also important.
A DESESPECIALIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO DOCENTE NO MÉXICO: REFLEXÕES SOBRE AS EXPERIÊNCIAS DE EJA E DE EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL
Authors: Silva Adriano Larentes da
Published: September 2017

RESUMO: O presente artigo aborda as novas formas de trabalho docente no contexto da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) e da educação profissional do México, apontando suas relações com as reformas educacionais e a ascensão de modelos educativos baseados na centralização, na meritocracia, em competências, metas e resultados. As reflexões propostas baseiam-se em pesquisas realizadas em 2014 e 2015, no Distrito Federal e em cinco estados mexicanos, nas quais foram entrevistados docentes, estudantes e equipes técnicas e gestoras de duas instituições de ensino. Os resultados dessas pesquisas mostram que ambas as instituições colocaram em prática, a partir do fim dos anos de 1970 e do início dos anos de 1980, dois modelos diferenciados de contratação docente, que acabaram contribuindo para a desespecialização e, consequentemente, para a precarização do trabalho docente na EJA e na educação profissional daquele país.

Published: September 2017

RESUMO: Este artigo é um recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado que objetivou compreender o processo de desenvolvimento profissional docente de um grupo de enfermeiras a partir de sua inserção na educação superior. Para tanto, foram utilizados, como referenciais teóricos, os estudos que abordam a formação como desenvolvimento profissional docente, com foco nos conhecimentos e nas aprendizagens necessários à docência da educação superior. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados e analisados considerando a abordagem qualitativa como pressuposto metodológico. Para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizadas narrativas orais de seis enfermeiras docentes de uma instituição pública federal de educação superior. Os resultados apontaram que se tornar docente da educação superior engendra um movimento contínuo e permanente de reflexão e ressignificações pessoais, profissionais, institucionais e organizacionais. Portanto, entende-se que um diálogo entre investigação, reflexão e formação docente pode conduzir a mudanças nas atitudes e nas práticas pedagógicas que fortalecem o desenvolvimento profissional docente.
Os álbuns ilustrados do sertão paulista: a modernidade encarnada (1900-1930)

Published: September 2017

RESUMO: O artigo analisa os álbuns ilustrados publicados no Estado de São Paulo, em cidades pelas quais passava a Estrada de Ferro Araraquarense, entre os anos de 1900 e 1930, com ênfase no escrutínio do Album de Araraquara 1915. Discute a confecção de tais álbuns como uma estratégia das elites do interior, visando tornar conhecidos os vastos “sertões” em relação ao restante do país e do mundo. À luz da historiografia cultural francesa, bem como da Análise do Discurso, constata que tais suportes nasceram para ser a síntese gloriosa de um determinado tempo/espaço, tendo se transformado em verdadeiros “documentos monumentos”. Considera que em meio à utopia de representação total da realidade levada a cabo pelos artífices daqueles álbuns, a temática educacional ganhou contornos peculiares, consoantes ao processo civilizador em curso nos confins paulistas, particularmente no que concerne a um modo épico de retratar os sujeitos e as instituições escolares daquele rincão.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Aging leads to decline in multiple organ systems associated to hormone alterations and loss of muscle mass and strength. Objective: To evaluate the effects of land and water resistance training on muscle strength, basal serum levels of GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 in elderly women. Methods: Subjects were distributed in three groups: land resistance training (LRT; n=10; age: 66.10±2.77 years), water resistance training (WRT; n=10; age: 67.10±3.54 years) and control (CG; n=10; age: 68.80±5.41 years). Muscle strength was assessed with the 1-RM test in bench press (BP) and leg press (LP) exercises. Serum levels of GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 were analyzed by chemiluminescence. Results: Repeated measures ANOVA showed elevated muscle strength in the BP only in LRT (D%=60.2%; p=0.0001) when compared to the CG (D%=46.73%, p=0.0001) and WRT (D%=32.49%, p=0.004). LRT and WRT increased muscle strength in LP (D%LRT=57.14%; p=0.004; D%WRT=42.3%; p=0.033). There was an increase in LRT and WRT in the LP when compared to CG (D%=45.59%, p=0.019; D%=43.97%, p=0.026, respectively). IGF-1 was elevated only in LRT (D%=49.72%, p=0.004) from pre- to post-test and when compared to WRT (D%=56.76%, p=0.002) and CG (D%=74.63%, p=0.0001). IGFBP3 levels showed that only WRT increased (D%=26.79%, p=0.044) from pre- to post-test. The IGF-1/IGFBP3 ratio demonstrated that LRT reached intragroup elevation (D%=52.66%, p=0.002) and when compared to WRT (D%=94.11%, p=0.0001) and CG (D%=73.45%, p=0.0001). There was no significant difference in GH. Conclusion: Land resistance training may provide better anabolic effects in elderly women.

Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT Introduction: It is well known that the body composition of an athlete plays a critical role in sports performance. However, although many studies exist concerning the kinanthropometric attributes of mainstream sports, few studies are forthcoming on individual martial arts disciplines, especially in elite athletes. Objective: This study aimed at establishing the kinanthropometric attributes of Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo athletes. Methods: Thirty-eight elite male Judo (n=42, mean age: 21.7±2.9 years), Taekwondo (n=46, mean age: 21.1±2.6 years) and Karate (n=50, mean age: 21.3±3.0 years) athletes were chosen randomly. The study determined and compared stature, body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), lean body mass (LBM), body surface area (BSA), sum of skinfolds (∑SK3), percentage body fat (%BF), and somatotype. Results: The findings of the present study demonstrate that although within normal levels, the sampled Judo athletes have significantly (p<0.05) higher FM, ∑SK3 (particularly at the triceps and subscapular skinfold sites), %BF and lower percentage LBM that either the Taekwondo and Karate athletes. In addition, the sampled Judo athletes displayed a more significant (p<0.05) endomorphic somatotype when compared to the Taekwondo and Karate athletes. Conclusions: These findings are essential in determining the optimal kinanthropometric attributes of elite male Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo athletes and may assist in the context of talent identification.

Published: September 2017

Resumen: La hipótesis de trabajo de la siguiente investigación se basa en que en los noviazgos de jóvenes heterosexuales de clase media del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA) existe una tensión entre la violencia y el amor de pareja. Con el fin de abordar esta hipótesis, se desarrolla una propuesta teórico metodológica que permita problematizar e interrelacionar a ambos conceptos. Luego, a la luz de dicha perspectiva, se analizan escenas de violencia que se enmarcan, según la perspectiva de los propios actores, dentro un registro de juego y amor; y escenas que permiten visualizar el pasaje de momentos de pelea a momentos de placer en la pareja.
Construção de gênero, laços afetivos e luto em Paris Is Burning
Authors: Parrine Raquel
Published: September 2017

Resumo: O filme Paris Is Burning, de Jennie Livingston, tem suscitado críticas e elogios desde seu lançamento, em 1990. Seu retrato da cultura dos bailes no Harlem nos anos 80, a abordagem da sua singular economia de construção de gênero e as negociações que faz do cruzamento entre etnicidade e sexualidade inspiraram leituras desde o ativismo negro, o pós-estruturalismo e, mais recentemente, os estudos trans. Mas, além da questão da problematização da apropriação e da autoria, existem camadas do documentário que nos levam a refletir a respeito da construção de laços afetivos, de comunidade e da autonomia da agência de sujeitos marginalizados e sua resiliência em face da violência de gênero. Apesar da espetacularização oriunda dos bailes, o filme comunica dignidade de seus sujeitos e opera no espectador a experiência do luto, que propõe uma comunidade compartilhada que finalmente nos una a partir da diferença.

Published: September 2017

Abstract Introduction Endodontically treated teeth with extensive coronary destruction require posts and cores to enable prosthetic restoration. Despite the increasing use of prefabricated posts, cast metal posts and cores are still widely used. The quality of the latter is important for the longevity of restorative treatment, and failure can occur if the fundamental principles are not followed. Objective To radiographically evaluate the prosthetic principles of 1000 cast metal post-and-core restorations performed in single-rooted teeth and their coherence with the principles used for their confection. Material and method Digital periapical radiographs of 1000 endodontically treated, single-rooted teeth with cast metal posts and cores were selected from the collection of a radiology clinic (Centro de Imagem, Aracaju/SE, Brazil). The images were analyzed using a measurement software (ImageJ, USA) in accordance with the fundamental prosthetic principles: length and diameter of the post, ratio between post and bone crest, contiguity of post to the root canal, gap between post and the remaining root canal filling, amount of remaining root canal filling, and absence of periapical lesion. The data were qualitatively analyzed, classified into ideal and not ideal, and submitted to the chi-square test (α=0.05). Result Only 6.7% of the cast metal posts analyzed were satisfactorily fabricated. Conclusion Many prosthetic criteria are neglected during the manufacturing of cast metal post and cores, resulting in inadequate work that may compromise the longevity of restorative treatments.

RESUMO: Buscamos apreender efeitos da leitura de textos na escrita de uma criança, designada como S., impedida de oralizar e escrever de próprio punho por apresentar Paralisia Cerebral. Mediante dificuldades de S. na leitura, relatadas pela professora, uma atividade semanal foi proposta pela fonoaudióloga na sala de aula da escola-clínica que S. frequentava, a partir de livro de Eva Furnari, resultando em uma produção expressiva de textos pela criança. A essas produções somam-se transcrições de filmagens em que esses textos foram lidos, que compõem o corpus alocado no banco de dados do Grupo NALingua-CNPq. Tais dados foram analisados com base em Borges (2006) que propõe a alfabetização de crianças baseada na imersão em leituras de textos diversos. Os resultados apontam para um processo de aquisição da leitura e escrita peculiar, em que cruzamentos entre símbolos/escrita e escrita/escrita operam a leitura da criança. Suas produções trazem efeitos dos textos matriz, lidos em um jogo de espelhos que revelam o funcionamento da língua e, ao mesmo tempo, diferenças: marcas de um sujeito em sua singularidade. Mudanças objetivas e subjetivas na assunção de abordagem teórica diversa da do professor pelo fonoaudiólogo resultaram em mudanças objetivas e subjetivas na relação de S. com a escrita.

Authors: Moraes Paulo Wenderson Teixeira , Bastos Antonio Virgílio Bittencourt
Published: September 2017

Resumo As Lesões por Esforço Repetitivo/Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (LER/DORT) são uma síndrome cujo diagnóstico é complexo. O objetivo deste artigo foi comparar os sintomas osteomusculares entre os bancários que afirmaram já terem sido diagnosticados por LER/DORT com aqueles que afirmaram nunca terem sido diagnosticados por algum médico, analisando as diferenças com relação aos fatores sociodemográficos. Participaram da pesquisa 220 bancários do estado da Bahia, dos quais, 91 apresentaram apenas sintomas osteomusculares e outros 91, além dos sintomas, também relataram o diagnóstico de LER/DORT. Apenas 38 não relataram qualquer distúrbio osteomuscular. Os que possuem diagnóstico de LER/DORT são os que mais sentem sintomas osteomusculares. Com maior média de idade, menor escolaridade e maior predominância do sexo feminino, os diagnosticados apresentaram sintomas de DORT há mais tempo, mais severos e com maior frequência. Este artigo contribui para a descrição da sintomatologia do fenômeno LER/DORT.
“Lei do espanhol”: discursividade e representações acerca da lei das metades
Authors: Carvalho Fernanda Peçanha
Published: September 2017

RESUMO Objetivamos neste artigo problematizar o discurso da “Lei do espanhol”. Abordamos também os efeitos de sentido contidos nos dizeres dos sujeitos-professores que nos levaram a depreender representações acerca da lei e seus impactos como política pública, especialmente. O percurso teórico-metodológico foi desenvolvido a partir do corpus de pesquisa constituído por dizeres de professores de espanhol e do texto integral da Lei nº 11.161/2005. Nosso aporte teórico está ancorado na vertente francesa da Análise de Discurso com atravessamento da psicanálise lacaniana. Operamos com a noção de acontecimento e com os conceitos foucaultianos de arquivo e de dispositivo do poder. Nossa investigação permitiu interpretar que essa lei é representada como um mecanismo de poder faltoso.

RESUMO A pesquisa objetiva analisar três aplicativos de dispositivos móveis orientados à aprendizagem de língua estrangeira, identificando suas potencialidades e limitações: Lingualeo, English Grammar All Levels e Learning 2 Talk. Para alcançar tal objetivo, a pesquisa teve como fundamentação teórica os estudos sobre gamificação e aprendizagem de línguas pelo computador (CALL) a fim de analisar os dados obtidos nos três jogos de acordo com os seguintes critérios: i) teoria de aprendizagem; ii) nível de contextualização; iii) nível de personalização; iv) tipo de interação; v) conteúdo abordado; e vi) interface. Utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, abrangendo aspectos tanto da linguagem verbal quanto gráfica, além dos elementos interativos das interfaces. A análise permitiu concluir que, embora predomine uma estrutura behaviorista, há uma tentativa de expandir o ensino de língua estrangeira por meio de jogos digitais.

Resumo Tendo em vista as interfaces entre teoria da mente e linguagem e os benefícios da leitura mediada para o desenvolvimento sociocognitivo infantil, apresenta-se a vertente qualitativa de um estudo mais amplo sobre teoria da mente, que, de forma complementar, investigou as experiências vivenciadas por pré-escolares em relação à atividade leitora no contexto familiar e escolar. Participaram da pesquisa 178 crianças e 17 docentes de escolas públicas e privadas de educação infantil. As crianças responderam a um questionário que buscou avaliar o contexto familiar das atividades diárias de leitura; já as professoras foram entrevistadas para avaliar as concepções e práticas sobre as atividades leitoras em sala de aula, sendo os relatos submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que os contextos de leitura tanto familiar quanto escolar são potencialmente favoráveis ao desenvolvimento sociocognitivo e tendem a contribuir para o aprimoramento da compreensão infantil dos estados mentais.

Published: September 2017

Resumo Objetivou-se identificar e analisar possíveis implicações de natureza ética decorrentes de inquéritos populacionais epidemiológicos, com base em depoimentos de gestores da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal. Utilizou-se estudo de caso como método de pesquisa qualitativa. Foram 14 entrevistados de 11 estados e do Distrito Federal: nove membros do Grupo Gestor; três, do Comitê Técnico Assessor do Ministério da Saúde e dois coordenadores, um estadual, outro, municipal. Empregou-se a técnica do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Foram identificadas seis ideias centrais: gerar ações que beneficiem a população, pois os benefícios de um inquérito são indiretos; ser utilizado na geração de novos conhecimentos; estimular a elaboração de políticas públicas mais equânimes; proporcionar maior aproximação entre a academia e o serviço; contribuir para que os profissionais revejam as suas práticas; gerar memória, ou seja, registrar em termos epidemiológicos as mudanças nas condições de saúde da população. Para os entrevistados, os inquéritos têm algumas atribuições éticas, como contribuir para a superação das situações de iniquidade em saúde.
PROPOSAL OF THE SPATIAL DEPENDENCE EVALUATION FROM THE POWER SEMIVARIOGRAM MODEL
Authors: Barbosa Ismael Canabarro , Appel Neto Edemar , Seidel Enio Júnior , Oliveira Marcelo Silva de
Published: September 2017

Abstract: In Geostatistics, the use of measurement to describe the spatial dependence of the attribute is of great importance, but only some models (which have second-order stationarity) are considered with such measurement. Thus, this paper aims to propose measurements to assess the degree of spatial dependence in power model adjustment phenomena. From a premise that considers the equivalent sill as the estimated semivariance value that matches the point where the adjusted power model curves intersect, it is possible to build two indexes to evaluate such dependence. The first one, SPD * , is obtained from the relation between the equivalent contribution (α) and the equivalent sill (C * = C 0 + α), and varies from 0 to 100% (based on the calculation of spatial dependence areas). The second one, SDI * , beyond the previous relation, considers the equivalent factor of model (FM * ), which depends on the exponent β that describes the force of spatial dependence in the power model (based on spatial correlation areas). The SDI * ,for β close to 2, assumes its larger scale, varying from 0 to 66.67%. Both indexes have symmetrical distribution, and allow the classification of spatial dependence in weak, moderate and strong.

Abstract: For a long time, in many countries, questions involving disputes about land ownership has generated demand for geoinformation and documentation. In most cases, access for researchers is restricted or humanely impossible by eminence of conflicts, even armed. In these cases, researchers use Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry to enable their studies. However, the dynamics of the phenomenon being studied often requires approaches that traditional techniques become unviable or unable to fulfil. This work shows the results of an approach that used a photogrammetric UAV platform to take pictures of an invaded rural area in Brazil and estimate its expansion over two years. From the taken images, mosaics were generated and then classified using Decision Tree to identify tents. Then it was developed a Matlab algorithm, to detect and quantify the tents on the classified Images. It was possible to infer that there was an expansion of 7.3% between the two analyzed dates and probably more than three thousand people occupied the invasion site.

Published: September 2017

La internacionalización de las empresas PyMES, es un tema ampliamente estudiado en una gran parte de países que buscan ser más competitivos y desde luego que pretenden obtener un mayor crecimiento económico. Cada día son más las naciones que interactúan con bienes y servicios en un mercado altamente exigente como parte del fenómeno llamado globalización que las obliga a entrar a esa dinámica de mercado, sin embargo, esa forma tan acelerada de entrar en esta dinámica en ocasiones les resulta exitosa y en otras las lleva a cometer errores que las conducen al fracaso. El presente trabajo se propone a partir del estudio de la internacionalización y su relación con las ventajas competitivas tomando como referencia el proceso evolutivo del conocimiento a través de estudios de frontera sobre este tema, identificando así las estrategias que pudieran servir a las PyMES que desean incursionar en este tipo actividades. ABSTRACTThe internationalization of SMEs is a topic widely studied in a lot of countries looking to become more competitive and certainly seek to obtain greater economic growth. More and more nations that interact with goods and services in a highly demanding market as part of the phenomenon called globalization that forces them to enter that market dynamics, however, that such an accelerated way to enter this dynamic sometimes find it successful and the other leads to mistakes that lead to failure. This paper is proposed from the study of internationalization and its relationship with competitive advantages by reference to the evolutionary process of knowledge through border studies on this matter, identifying strategies that could lead to SMEs who would like to venture in such process of internationalization.
DESEMPEÑO DE LAS EXPORTACIONES COLOMBIANAS EN EL SECTOR DE NO COMBUSTIBLE
Authors: Parente Ana Maria , Goda Thomas
Published: September 2017

Hoy en día el crecimiento económico de Colombia, depende fuertemente de las exportaciones de combustibles y minería, sin importar los grandes esfuerzos para diversificar las exportaciones desde la liberalización económica. Esta dependencia de las exportaciones de productos básicos ha puesto en duda la eficacia de las políticas de promoción de exportaciones. Este estudio descriptivo busca establecer si la política de Colombia durante el periodo comprendido entre 1992 to 2001 fue exitosa, usando un enfoque comparativo, cotejando el comportamiento de las exportaciones colombianas en ocho sectores no relacionados con energía o combustibles, en nueve países de diferentes regiones con ingresos medios. Se usa esta metodología pues un desarrollo sectorial en un sector por encima del promedio, indicaría que las políticas de promoción a las exportaciones son relativamente exitosas y el caso contrario si las exportaciones están por debajo del promedio. Los resultados muestran que Colombia tuvo uno de los comportamientos más débiles de la muestra en los ocho sectores, en ambos términos crecimiento de las exportaciones y exportaciones como parte del PIB. El único país de la muestra que presentó un desempeño constante inferior con relación al colombiano fue Venezuela. Adicionalmente, es importante destacar que las exportaciones Colombianas no se recuperaron tan rápido a la crisis del 2009 como otros países de la muestra, en especial los sectores de bienes manufacturados, maquinaria y equipos de transporte. Los resultados indican que Colombia debería replantar sus políticas de promoción a las exportaciones.
