Authors: Pusporini Widowati , Triatna Cepi , Syahid Achmad , Kustandi Cecep
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this research is to analyze the achievement of the results, progress, and obstacles encountered during the two years of the commencement of the principals’ partnership program in Indonesia. The scope of the Principal's Partnership program comprises three main components, such as curriculum management, academic supervision, and management of the school ecosystem. Data were analyzed using survey methods. Sampling data were taken from 106 impacted schools, using the percentage results of action plan reports in 15 indicators from the three main components program's implementation. The findings indicate that the principal partnership program activities, in general, have been well implemented and according to the percentage target of the principal's partnership program with a national increase in achievement of the Curriculum Management component from 61% to 69%, academic supervision from 61% to 71% and management of the school ecosystem from 48% to 56%. The percentage increase also occurs when instrument data is processed per indicator in components. The findings imply that the partnership program has a significant impact on equity growth in remote areas.

Published: June 2020

The present study aims at investigating some English speaking problems found by the students of English language education department at State Islamic Institute of Kudus and exploring some implications for speaking curriculum development of English language education department. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach and the data were taken from semi-structured interviews, observation and focus group discussion (FGD). The results of the analysis reveal that the problems encountered by the students in English language education department in speaking English cover the lack of appropriate vocabulary, the lack of grammar mastery, the lack of correct pronunciation, the lack of input of English outside the class, the lack of confidence and the lack of English speaking curriculum development. There have been some implications for developing English speaking curriculum. First, the curriculum of speaking should be well designed. Second, lecturers should design English speaking curriculum integrated by technology and social media that makes students to enrich some culture, knowledge and experience around the world. Third, lecturers should facilitate the English speaking curriculum with the English speaking community so that the students will have more chance to speak English inside and outside the class.

Abstract. Praptiwi, Wulansari D, Fahoni A, Harnoto N, Novita R, Alfridsyah, Agusta A. 2020. Phytochemical screening, antibacterial and antioxidant assessment of Leuconotis eugenifolia leaf extract. Nusantara Bioscience 12: 79-85. Traditionally, sitahe (Leuconotis eugenifolia (Wall. Ex G. Don) A.DC) has been used to maintain stamina by Aceh peoples, Indonesia. The use of L. eugenifolia mainly as a spice on a traditional cuisine “ie bu peudah”. This research was conducted to determine the phytoconstituents of L. eugenifolia leaf extracts, and to investigate their antioxidant potential using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Phytochemical screening was carried out using standard methods. L. eugenifolia leaves were extracted successively with n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water. Obtained extracts were tested qualitatively for antioxidant and antibacterial by the TLC-bioautography method, followed by quantitative analysis to determine the MIC and IC50 value using the microdilution method on 96-well microplate. The results showed that it contained alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids, saponins, phenolics, and tannins. The highest levels of phenolic (259.0486 ± 0.1203 mg GAE/g extract) and flavonoids (84.6575 ± 0.0237 mg QE/g extract) were found in ethyl acetate extract, and dichloromethane, respectively. The antibacterial activity of n-hexane and dichloromethane extracts is moderate against E. coli, and weak against S. aureus. Ethyl acetate extract, methanol, and water extracts have very strong antioxidant activity. L. eugenifolia leaf extracts may be promising new antioxidant sources.

Authors: Root Jenny R. , Cox Sarah K. , Hammons Nannette , Saunders Alicia F. , Gilley Deidre
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent mathematics intervention (modified schema-based instruction, video anchors, and goal setting with self-graphing) on mathematical problem-solving skills of secondary students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Three participants were taught to solve percent of change word problems, which involved calculating the discounted price of an item or activity after using a coupon and then determining whether they had enough money to make the purchase. Results of the multiple probe across participant design indicate a functional relation between the intervention and problem solving, and all participants were able to generalize skills from word problems to real-world stimuli (i.e., coupons, receipts, menus). Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

time-resolved Kr PLIF relevant for high-speed flows in particular.
Belén Gopegui’s literature in crisis: Anticipating the literatura de la crisis?
Authors: Usoz de la Fuente Maite
Published: June 2020

In recent years, and in response to the global financial crisis of 2008, Spain has seen the surge of a new literary sub-genre, that of literatura de la crisis: novels, essays and short stories attempting to reflect and make sense of the crisis and its effects in the country. In this article, I propose that there is an alternative literature in crisis that, while at times overlapping with the aforementioned literatura de la crisis, also antedates it. Such literature shows a concern with socio-economic phenomena such as unemployment and job insecurity, precarity, the effects of globalization or the rise in inequality long before these issues became fashionable. In this article, I analyse four novels by Belén Gopegui that predate the crisis in order to trace the key features of her literature in crisis – chief among them is her meta-literary exploration of her own assimilation of (or possible complicity with) the hegemonic discourses she seeks to critique. Finally, I contend that the vindication of this literature in crisis is timely and relevant not only because of its connection to the booming sub-genre of literatura de la crisis but also because it is only through the radical interrogation of the status quo carried out by this author that the full emancipatory potential of literature and culture may be realized.
Sentimental education as political weapon: From Montserrat Roig to Marta Sanz
Authors: Blanco Muñoz Leticia
Published: June 2020

This work traces the affinities between Montserrat Roig, and Marta Sanz, to show a continuity between the patriarchal structures of Francoism and those of the Transition as illustrated in two of their novels. It reflects on the heteropatriarchal legacy of Franco’s regime by analysing the importance of the role of sentimentality when subverting the distance that goes from representation to self-representation of women’s bodies and subjectivities within a cultural (literary) canon that remains ostensibly masculine. This comparison between both authors brings to light the way in which they problematize their own internalization of a patriarchal male gaze, and how they mobilize strategies to counter the social discourses that have led to that internalization.

Proposal for Environmental Interpretation at the Santa Barbara Chapel (Ponta Grossa, PR)
Authors: Silva Beatriz Madalena Bueno Da , Medeiros Mirna De Lima , Lara Silvielen Cristiane Faria De , Souza Eduardo Vitor Correa de
Published: June 2020

This work aims to show the possibilities of using environmental interpretation at the Santa Barbara Chapel (Ponta Grossa, State of Paraná). This chapel, built in 1823, was listed in 2000 by the Municipal Council of Cultural Heritage, however many people, including residents, do not know much about it. To this end, we sought to analysis its potential status as a tourist attraction; to verify the applications of environmental interpretation; and to suggest actions of environmental interpretation that can be performed in relation to the heritage, focusing on the appreciation of its history. The theoretical framework defines the concept of environmental interpretation and its tools, and addresses the history of the chapel and the saint whose name it carries. Descriptive research was used to compile data, using documentary research and direct observation in on-site fieldwork. The potential for the application of environmental interpretation at the Santa Barbara chapel was verified, whether to transmit basic and historical information through an interpretative panel, or through the expansion of the experience through a property-guided narrative, for example.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROMOTION OF THE HISTORIC CENTER OF MANAUS IN THE CITY'S PRINTED TOURIST GUIDES
Authors: Oliveira Sibelle da Silva , Guimarães Márcia Raquel Cavalcante , Prata Ellen Lima , Silva Iara Farias da
Published: June 2020

This article investigates the tourist promotion of the Historic Center of Manaus through the city's printed tourist guides. This analysis was prompted by a lack of promotional materials on the oldest central area of the city, whether in printed and digital media. Yet this is the locality with the highest concentration of cultural tourist attractions in Manaus, and it recognized through patrimonial protection at federal, state and municipal levels. The study analyzes the city's tourist guides, and their relationship with the tourism promotion of its historic center. Nine tourist guides were used, from different years, to determine whether they met the needs presented. The consultation of the guides characterizes the research as documentary, since the material was not submitted to analytical treatment. It is also defined as bibliographic, due to the construction of the theoretical contribution. The results demonstrated that the tourist promotion of the Historic Center of Manaus is insufficient in the guides consulted. In order to promote the area in question, the development of a tourist guide to the city’s oldest quarter is proposed, to be produced in both printed and digital formats, due to its historical importance and significant attractiveness in forming the image of Manaus as a tourist destination, qualified experience of visitors as well as the influence of the experience on the choice of tourist.

INTRODUCTION:

We have reported previously that fecal DNA testing of TWIST1 methylation in combination with the fecal immunochemical test for hemoglobin (FIT) (combination test) is useful for colorectal neoplasia screening. In this study, using larger sample sizes, we studied the clinical performance of the combination test for the detection of colorectal neoplasia and, especially, advanced colorectal adenoma.

METHODS:

We performed a prospective study in which FIT, fecal DNA testing of TWIST1 methylation, and colonoscopy were performed on 372 patients with colorectal neoplasia and 71 subjects without colorectal neoplasia. We assessed the individual clinical performance of each of FIT and fecal DNA testing of TWIST1 methylation and of the combination test for the detection of colorectal neoplasia including advanced adenoma based on morphologic subtypes.

RESULTS:

The FIT alone had a sensitivity of 7.5% (3/40) for nonadvanced adenoma, 32.3% (41/127) for advanced adenoma, and 93.7% (192/205) for colorectal cancer and a specificity of 87.3% (62/71). The combination test had a sensitivity of 35.0% (14/40) for nonadvanced adenoma, 68.5% (87/127) for advanced adenoma, and 95.6% (196/205) for colorectal cancer and a specificity of 80.3% (57/71). For morphological subtypes of advanced adenoma, the sensitivity of FIT was only 28.2% (20/71) for polypoid type and 16.1% (5/31) for nonpolypoid type, whereas the combination test increased the sensitivities to 64.8% (46/71) and 71.0% (22/31), respectively.

DISCUSSION:

The combination of the fecal DNA test with FIT seemed to be useful to detect colorectal neoplasia and, especially, advanced adenoma of the nonpolypoid type.
El polémico y fecundo diálogo entre la teología y la ecología
Authors: Tatay Jaime
Published: June 2020

El ecologismo contemporáneo, a pesar de la polémica generada por su pretensión sociopolítica, su propuesta sistémica y su espiritualidad ecléctica, no tiene por qué entrar necesariamente en conflicto con la fe cristiana. Al contrario, en las últimas décadas el movimiento ecologista está siendo un acicate, un revulsivo y una oportunidad histórica para volver a las fuentes teológicas, profundizar en el significado de la tradición sacramental, recuperar una antropología relacional, redescubrir una mística de alabanza al Creador, rehabilitar la categoría de sacrificio y expandir el horizonte ético del pensamiento social cristiano. Al mismo tiempo, en el diálogo entre la teología y la ecología, el cristianismo puede realizar una valiosa contribución que corrija algunos de los excesos ideológicos del ecologismo.
La cuestión medioambiental en el diálogo ecuménico.
Authors: Márquez Beunza Carmen
Published: June 2020

Desde la preocupación inicial por los desafíos que planteaba el mundo tecnológico, pasando por la defensa de la sostenibilidad o la afirmación de la necesidad de desarrollar una ética medioambiental, hasta la cristalización de la tríada «Justicia, Paz e Integridad de la creación», el movimiento ecuménico ha prestado una atención creciente a la cuestión medioambiental, que ha pasado a convertirse en una dimensión nuclear de la visión de la oikumene para el siglo XXI. El ámbito ecuménico se ha revelado como un espacio de encuentro y convergencia entre unas Iglesias convencidas de que la crisis medioambiental es, además de una cuestión científica, un problema religioso y moral, y conscientes de que la problemática ecológica reclama una respuesta conjunta de parte de la fe cristiana.
Nota sobre conciencia y autoridad
Authors: Aldana Valenzuela Ricardo
Published: June 2020

Esta nota plantea la relación entre conciencia y autoridad, primero desde el punto de vista de la conciencia, que emerge desde su despertar en relación con un fundamento más grande que ella misma, y, en seguida, desde el punto de vista de la autoridad, cuyo sentido es servir a la conciencia. Conciencia y autoridad se implican recíprocamente. Después de esto, la nota se detiene en el abuso de la autoridad sobre la conciencia, para pasar a las pretensiones injustificadas de la conciencia respecto de la autoridad. Finalmente, se expone la importancia de la cuestión en la vida de John Henry Newman y sus líneas de solución.

Sebaran Sedimen Tersuspensi di Perairan Teluk Awur Jepara menggunakan Citra Landsat 8
Authors: Subardjo Petrus , Suryoputro Agus Anugroho Dwi , Praktikto Ibnu
Published: June 2020

Sedimen tersuspensi dianggap sebagai sedimen yang didistribusikan oleh arus laut. Arus sepanjang pantai (longshore current) berperan besar terhadap proses perpindahan sedimen di perairan. Gelombang laut yang yang membentuk sudut terhadap garis pantai menyebabkan arus sepanjang pantai Transpor sedimen yang disebabkan oleh arus sepanjang panti sering menimbulkan permasalahan erosi pantai dan pendangkalan perairan. Perairan Teluk Awur memiliki bentuk teluk dan tanjung yang memungkinkan terjadinya arus sepanjang pantai. Potensi adanya proses erosi dan sedimentasi di perairan Teluk Awur membuat pentingnya kajian mengenai pola sebaran sedimen tersuspensi. Penelitian ini mampu menjelaskan tentang pola sebaran sedimen tersuspensi di perairan Teluk Awur, Kecamatan Tahunan, Kabupaten Jepara. Metode yang digunakan untuk penentuan sedimen tersuspensi menggunakan pengindraan jauh dan data yang digunakan yaitu citra satelit landsat-8. Kandungan sedimen tersuspensi tertinggi berada di Desa Teluk Awur dan Desa Demaan. Kandungan tertinggi sebesar ± 67,54 mg/L dan semakin menjauhi pantai konsentrasi menurun. Tingginya kadungan sedimen tersuspensi dipengaruhi oleh proses mixing dan intensitas curah hujan. Suspended sediments are considered as sediments distributed by ocean currents. Current along the coast (longshore current) plays a major role in the process of transfer of sediment in the waters. Sea waves that form angles to the coastline cause currents along the coast Sediment transport caused by currents along the orphanage often cause erosion and coastal silting problems. The waters of Teluk Awur have the shape of bays and headlands which allow currents along the coast. The potential for erosion and sedimentation in the Awur Bay waters makes it important to study the pattern of suspended sediment distribution. This research is able to explain the pattern of suspended sediment distribution in Awur Bay waters, Annual District, Jepara Regency. The method used to determine suspended sediment uses remote sensing and the data used are Landsat-8 satellite imagery. The highest suspended sediment content was in Teluk Awur Village and Demaan Village. The highest content of ± 67.54 mg / L and increasingly away from the beach decreased concentration. The high suspended sediment content is influenced by the mixing process and the intensity of rainfall.
Hydro-acoustic Survey and Edge-detection method in Investigation of a Passenger Vessel Accident in East Java, Indonesia
Authors: Febriawan Hendra Kurnia , Haryadi Yudo , Nurwahyudy Aleik
Published: June 2020

As an archipelagic country, the shipping sector in Indonesia becomes crucial in delivering goods inter-island, and due to increasing transportation demands. However, that industry encounters some challenges of the ocean environment that could lead to vessel accidents. An investigation into the accident is crucial since this is related to the properties, environment, and life disadvantages. The wrecks of sinking vessels also could harm the environment, providing an obstacle to the sea passage hence increasing the risk of a shipping operation. A proper and comprehensive investigation needs to be carried out to identify the factors that contribute to the accident, so then risk mitigation can be taken to prevent re-occurrence. In the case of missing foundered or sunken vessels, an underwater examination is a must, so the investigator understands the real condition of the vessel. Although diver and underwater robotic surveys are still prevalent in the investigation, these techniques have limitations due to visibility and location. By contrast, those limitations can be addressed using hydro-acoustic technologies, which are capable of providing high-resolution underwater images and digital elevation model (DEM) bathymetry. Thus, the use of these technologies is promising in-vessel accident investigation, both in-situ investigation, and post-processing analysis. This paper describes an examination of the use of side-scan sonar and multibeam echosounder in-vessel accident investigation. The use of slope feature and edge-detection technique are also investigated concerning the investigation. Results indicate that those acoustic systems can contribute to the inquiry effectively by portraying some underwater objects as the accident suspects. Besides, slope and edge detection methods also produce expectant outcomes to support underwater object detection and investigation.
When ANOVA Isn't Ideal: Analyzing Ordinal Data from Practical Work in Biology
Authors: Calver Michael , Fletcher Douglas
Published: June 2020

Data collected in many biology laboratory classes are on ratio or interval scales where the size interval between adjacent units on the scale is constant, which is a critical requirement for analysis with parametric statistics such as t-tests or analysis of variance. In other cases, such as ratings of disease or behavior, data are collected on ordinal scales in which observations are placed in a sequence but the intervals between adjacent observations are not necessarily equal. These data can only be interpreted in terms of their order, not in terms of the differences between adjacent points. They are unsuitable for parametric statistical analyses and require a rank-based approach using nonparametric statistics. We describe an application of one such approach, the Kruskal-Wallis test, to biological data using online freeware suitable for classroom settings.

Authors: McCullough Erin L. , Verdeflor Lauren , Weinsztok Alaina , Wiles Jason R. , Dorus Steve
Published: June 2020

Evolution explains both the unity and the diversity of all organisms, and developing students' ability to represent and communicate evolutionary relationships is an important component of a complete biology education. We present a series of student-centered, exploratory activities to help students develop their tree-thinking skills. In these activities, students use complementary phenotypic and molecular data to explore how to build phylogenetic trees and interpret the evolutionary relationships they represent. This learning module is designed to engage students in the process of science, provide them with active learning experiences using online bioinformatics tools, and foster their appreciation for the evolutionary connections across the tree of life.
Genetic diversity and population structure of breeds of Askanian sheep by analysing polymorphisms in qualitative trait loci
Authors: Iovenko V. , Vdovychenko Yu. , Pysarenko N. , Skrepets K. , Hladii I.
Published: June 2020

Aim. To determine the level of polymorphism of some genes, pertaining to the quantitative traits of sheep
and to study the genetic diversity and population structure of breeds of Askanian sheep and one of its hybrids.
Methods. Molecular–genetic, population–statistical, biometric methods. Results. The genetic structure
of populations of the Askanian Fine-Fleeced (AFF, n = 33), Askanian Meat-and-Wool (AMW, n = 22)
and Askanian Karakul (AK, n = 46) breeds and a hybrid of Askanian Fine-Fleeced × Texel (AFFT, n = 40) has
been studied for the fi rst time in terms of the polymorphisms of the following qualitative trait genes (loci) :
meat productivity genes: ovine growth hormone (GH), calpastatin (CAST) and myostatin (MSTN); prolifi cacy genes:
Booroola (fecundity gene FecB) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP15). The sheep in all studied breeds and the
hybrid mentioned above are characterized by the polymorphism of two loci, GH and CAST. The other three loci studied
did not show polymorphism for the markers studied. GH is present as two genotypes (A/A, A/B), and CAST as
three genotypes (A/A, A/B, B/B). The remaining genes were found to be in the monomorphic state. The frequencies
of certain genotypes and alleles change in the direction from fi ne–fl eeced to meat animals. For instance, the concentration
of heterozygous growth hormone (GH) genotype A/B increases from 0.0 % (AFFB) to 38.2 % (AMWB), and
the concentration of allele A – from 0.083 to 0.191. The live bodyweight of fi ne–fl eeced lambs with GH genotype
A/B at birth equaled 4.5 kg, and those with homozygous genotype A/A – 4.9 kg (P < 0.001). Therefore, homozygous
genotype А/А determined the increased level of meat productivity of sheep. A similar dependence was established
at birth for the Askanian Karakul breed. Conclusions. The specifi city of genetic structure of Askanian breeds and
hybrid is polymorphism of the GH and CAST and absence of polymorphism of BMP15 and FecB genes, determining
the prolifi cacy (reproduction) trait. According to the distribution of polymorphic loci variants, the gene pools of
Askanian Meat-and-Wool breed and the local Askanian-Texel hybrid are closely related and therefore explains the
same direction of their productivity. At the same time, all populations are in a state of genetic equilibrium according
to Hardy-Weinberg, which indicates a high level of their consolidation. Sheep which have the A/A homozygote of the
gene growth hormone are characterized by an increased level of the body weight development.
Focus of mineralization-synthesis processes of the organic matter in the leached chernozem while cultivating potatoes on different fertilization backgrounds
Authors: Volkogon V. , Pyrig O. , Dimova S. , Volkogon K.
Published: June 2020

Aim. To investigate the focus of the mineralization–synthesis processes in leached chernozem while cultivating
potatoes in different fertilization systems, ensuring different supplies of raw organic matter into the soil.
Methods. Field experiment, gas chromatography. Results. The study of emissions of nitrous oxide and carbon
dioxide from the soil followed by the calculations of the specifi c losses of N-N2O (g/kg C-CO2), depending on
fertilization system and in comparison with the indicators of the “reference” soil, provide an opportunity for
rapid determination of the focus of the mineralization-synthesis processes in the organic matter in agrocenoses.
The use of exclusively mineral fertilization systems results in the highest specifi c losses of N2O as the increase
of the applied fertilizer doses initiates the mineralization processes in the soil. The combination of mineral
fertilizers with raw organic products (5 t/ha straw and 13 t/ha of lupine cover crop) signifi cantly improves the
situation. At the same time, in experiment with the lowest (N40P40K40 kg/ha) and medium (N80Р80К80 kg/ha)
doses of mineral fertilizers the balance of mineralization-synthesis processes of organic matter was observed.
The highest rate of mineral fertilizer dose in the experiment (N120P120K120 kg/ha), even in combination with the
raw organic material, activates mineralization processes. With the use of manure, as well as upon its combination
with the lupine cover crop and low doses of mineral fertilizers, the optimization of nitrous oxide and
carbon dioxide emissions is observed. Conclusions. The use of solely mineral fertilizers in the technology of
potato cultivation is inappropriate in terms of environmental reasons. The combination of mineral fertilizers
(not exceeding N80Р80К80 kg/ha dose) with straw and lupine cover crop ensures optimization of the processes
of mineralization-synthesis of organic matter. Moreover, the optimization of biological processes in the soil
was observed in experiments with the use of manure, its combination with lupine cover crop and low doses of
mineral fertilizers. The calculations of the indices of mineralization-synthesis of organic matter, considering
the emission factors of N2O and CO2, obtained with the use of modern high-sensitivity gas chromatographic
methods, allow to determine the focus of biological processes in the soil, depending on fertilization system, and
to estimate ecologic sustainability of types and doses of fertilizers.

Published: June 2020

Bukit Tiga Puluh National park (TNBT) of Riau Province is a nature conservation area with a high diversity of fauna, one of which is the butterfly. Butterfly species diversity is influenced by the vegetation in their habitat. The TNBT utilization zone has a habitat type with varied vegetation. There is no information about the species of butterflies in the area. This study aimed to identify morphological character of butterflies and vegetation based on morphological characters. The method used was exploration. The catching area of the butterfly was the Granite waterfall and the Bukit Lancang path of TNBT utilization zone. Samples made as insectarium and herbarium. The  identification of butterfly characters consisted of the head, thorax, abdomen, legs and wings. There were a number of different types of butterflies and plants between the Granite waterfall area (22 and 28 species) and the Bukit Lancang paths (5 and 9 species). The type of butterfly was dominated by the family Nymphalidae. This is due to the amount of vegetation and environmental conditions that are more favorable in the granite waterfall area. The key determinants of butterfly species are the characters of the wing. The results of this study can contribute to maintaining the TNBT butterflies in Riau Province and also as database information of butterflies species in Indonesia.

Periphyton indeed plays an undeniably vital role as primary producers in the food web within aquatic ecosystems such as rivers. The existence of periphyton will affect the populations of the aquatic organisms at higher trophic level, thus it is interesting to be explored, especially in big rivers like Citarum. This study aimed to explore the distribution of periphyton, including its types and abundance at several stations in the upstream part of Citarum River based on the land use in the riverbanks, in the dry season of 2018. Samples were taken at nine stations, namely Gunung Wayang Springs, Outlet Cisanti at the valley of Mount Wayang, and the connecting tributaries as follows: Cihejo, Cibuni, Cirasea, Cikaro, Cisangkuy, Cikapundung, and Ciwidey. Samples of periphyton were taken from the substrate of stone, wood, plastic, and macrophytes at three sampling points of each station. Periphyton samples were then scraped off from the surface of the substrate, where the deposit would then be filtered using plankton net No.20, preserved with Lugol 1% and subsequently identified. The results showed there were 83 species from 58 genera of both phytoperiphyton and zooperiphyton, classified as periphyton found on the sites. The total abundance of phytoperiphyton ranged between 2.3 x 104 ind/m2 and 1.3 x 108 ind/m2 where the total abundance of zooperiphyton covered from 4.7 x 102 ind/m2 to 3.7 x 105 ind/m2. The highest and the lowest numbers of total abundance of periphyton were shown at stations of Gunung Wayang Spring and Cirasea tributary, respectively.
Saberes docentes e concepções do ensino religioso
Authors: Junqueira Sergio , Rodrigues Edile Maria Fracaro
Published: June 2020

Este artigo é parte de uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre o impacto da formação para o efetivo trabalho da docência e sua relação com a concepção de Ensino Religioso Escolar no cenário brasileiro e busca compreender essa relação utilizando como referencial os saberes docentes, de Maurice Tardif (2002, 2005). O Ensino Religioso Escolar assumiu diferentes características legais e pedagógicas na história brasileira. Nessa reflexão, dois elementos são significativos para compreender o Ensino Religioso Escolar: as propostas para a formação docente e as concepções organizadas ao longo da história da educação brasileira. No Brasil, a formação docente para o Ensino Religioso Escolar pressupõe a compreensão de que o saber religioso não assume a proposta da fé. O componente curricular pode ser estruturado como um dos marcos de leitura e interpretação da realidade, essenciais a participação do cidadão na sociedade de forma autônoma. Assume-se, assim, a perspectiva do Ensino Religioso a partir da escola, como orientação de um processo articulador no dia a dia da sala de aula, desafiando o (re) olhar sobre o processo de ensino-aprendizagem.
Identificar, acusar, expulsar: rivalidades e enfrentamentos religiosos no Brasil (1900-1960)
Authors: De Oliveira Gledson Ribeiro
Published: June 2020

Este artigo propõe, por meio da análise do conteúdo de jornais, revistas e processos criminais, estudar as rivalidades e os enfrentamentos religiosos entre católicos, protestantes e pentecostais no Ceará. Na primeira metade do século XX, protestantes e pentecostais concorriam com o catolicismo pelo controle do mercado de bens e serviços religiosos. O catolicismo os considerava uma infiltração estrangeira a ser banida, e os povoados, as vilas e cidades do sertão foram o principal palco das ações proibitivas diretas e indiretas que objetivavam identificar, censurar e punir as condutas desviantes. Já os pentecostais foram desclassificados como religião cristã tanto pelos católicos quanto pelos protestantes por praticarem o que chamavam de baixo espiritismo.
OS ÓRGÃOS DE CONTROLE E A PRESTAÇÃO DE CONTAS ANUAIS NOS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO, CIÊNCIA E TECNOLOGIA COMO MEIO PARA MELHORIA DO PROCESSO DE ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM
Authors: Melo Alessandro Franco de , Rocha Georges Souto
Published: June 2020

A prestação de contas parte da obrigação social e pública de prestar informações sobre algo pelo qual a Administração Pública é responsável, sendo esse conceito base da transparência e do controle social. Dentro desse contexto, os Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia – IF’s, por não fugirem a regra, apresentam-se como unidades prestadoras de contas que se submetem aos órgãos de controle interno e externo. Por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, através dos procedimentos bibliográfico e documental para a coleta de informações, o presente artigo visa demonstrar como ocorre a prestação de contas anuais dos IF’s e suas contribuições na melhoria do processo de ensino-aprendizagem na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica – EPT à medida que se busca um funcionamento mais efetivo das Instituições.

O Programa Farmácia Popular é indispensável para o tratamento da hipertensão arterial e do diabetes, as duas principais doenças crônicas não transmissíveis do país. Por esse motivo, esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar o comportamento da oferta desses medicamentos no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Para isso, métodos estatísticos foram utilizados no banco de dados coletado, sendo a metodologia ARIMA (p,d,q) a prioritária. Utilizando os métodos de AIC e BIC, foi possível determinar modelo SARIMA (2,0,0)(1,0,0)12 como o melhor para representar o comportamento da oferta desses medicamentos. Os principais resultados apresentam que os últimos três meses influenciam diretamente na quantidade e oferta de medicamentos, com evidências de sazonalidade anual. Além disso, os resultados foram discutidos com outros estudos realizados nesse contexto.

Authors: Entringer Tulio Cremonini
Published: June 2020

O tema Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT), e sua importância, diz respeito a um conjunto de ações que as empresas visam implantar para oferecer melhorias e inovações em seu ambiente laboral a fim de melhorar a vida dos trabalhadores. Nesse cenário, a QVT tem ganhado importância nas pesquisas acadêmicas, devido o destaque que cada vez mais tem apresentado para as organizações, por entenderem o indivíduo como uma importante fonte de resultados. Com o intuito de verificar o cenário cientifico nos últimos anos, esse trabalho tem como objetivo a realização de uma revisão da literatura sobre QVT, no período 2014-2018, a partir de uma análise bibliométrica. Para tanto, foi utilizado o método de revisão bibliográfica proposto por Marasco (2008). A partir dos dados extraídos da base Scopus, os resultados da revisão bibliométrica sistemática foram analisados a partir das informações sobre publicações, citações e abordagens dos artigos que tratam da temática QVT. Como resultados, o presente artigo mostrou a importância acadêmica e prática dos estudos sobre a QVT. Adicionalmente, foi possível identificar lacunas na literatura científica que podem ser preenchidas por trabalhos futuros na área.

Authors: Guimarães Amanda Ferreira , Souza José Paulo de , Schiavi Sandra Mara de Alencar
Published: June 2020

Dada a importância dos mecanismos de mensuração adequados para sobrevivência de subsistemas voltados para a qualidade, o objetivo dessa revisão bibliográfica foi compreender como se dá a mensuração e a garantia dos atributos de qualidade de cafés especiais no Brasil. Os resultados demonstraram que o café é um ativo composto por múltiplos atributos intrínsecos e extrínsecos, majoritariamente de difícil mensuração e elevada variabilidade. A literatura mostra um conjunto de atributos de procura, experiência e crença no café, dificultando a mensuração. Identificou-se, para cafés especiais, diferentes mecanismos de mensuração e busca de garantia de direito sobre essa variabilidade, tais como leilão virtual, concursos, relações contratuais apoiadas de certificação e integração vertical. Conclui-se que apesar dos esforços para classificar o café e garantir direitos sobre o ativo, há falhas na mensuração. A mensuração no Brasil prioriza aspectos físicos do grão verde, sem foco em elementos de diferenciação. A sobrevivência dos subsistemas voltados para a diferenciação no Brasil demanda mecanismos de mensuração adequados, envolvendo diferentes critérios de mensuração.
O Que Há de Errado com o Igualitarismo de Fortuna?
Authors: Petroni Lucas
Published: June 2020

RESUMO O objetivo geral do artigo é argumentar que o igualitarismo de fortuna, defendido por autores como Ronald Dworkin, Richard Arneson e G. A. Cohen, é uma forma equivocada de conceber os objetivos do igualitarismo. Para isso, o artigo propõe uma distinção entre dois tipos de críticas ao igualitarismo de fortuna: (i) uma interna e de natureza conceitual, centrada na linha de corte entre escolhas voluntárias e circunstâncias não voluntárias; e (ii) uma crítica igualitária, que tem como objeto o fundamento normativo das teorias da justiça. O artigo argumenta que a crítica igualitária (mas não necessariamente a interna) exige uma mudança de prioridades na agenda de pesquisa sobre justiça distributiva, favorecendo concepções relacionais de igualdade. Finalmente, o artigo utiliza o papel da responsabilidade pessoal nas teorias da justiça como um caso ilustrativo da diferença entre a visão distributiva e a visão relacional do valor moral da igualdade.

RESUMO Objetivos: A irrigação arterial hepática tem como característica a elevada frequência de variações da anatomia. O objetivo do estudo foi descrever o trajeto anatômico da artéria hepática direita quando originada da artéria mesentérica superior. Métodos: Foram analisadas 5147 tomografias computadorizadas com contraste endovenoso de pacientes atendidos no Serviço de Radiologia do Hospital de Clínicas de Passo Fundo - RS, no período outubro de 2016 a dezembro de 2017. Foram selecionados 125 pacientes portadores de variação anatômica da artéria hepática direita na origem. Os achados foram categorizados pela variação do trajeto vascular, emergência da artéria mesentérica superior e a relação com demais estruturas. Resultados: Obtivemos o trajeto mais frequente desta variação como retropancreático (88,8%), retroportal (76,8%) e pós-coledociano (75,2%), emergindo cerca de 2,33 cm da origem da artéria mesentérica superior. Conclusão: Demonstramos que na maioria das vezes, a artéria hepática direita variante, apresenta trajeto posterior ao pâncreas e ao pedículo hepático e emerge próxima da origem da artéria mesentérica superior.
