Educação Ambiental e a Formação de Pedagogos
Authors: Buczenko Gerson Luiz , Rosa Maria Arlete
Published: October 2019

Este artigo foi idealizado durante o desenvolvimento de tese de doutoramento em Educação, que teve como objetivo geral analisar a existência de articulação entre a tendência crítica de Educação Ambiental (EA) e a concepção de Educação do Campo (EC) no trabalho do coordenador pedagógico de escola pública localizada em APA de manancial. Nesse cenário, surgiram os contatos com quatro estabelecimentos escolares investigados, num total de quatro escolas rurais municipais (três em Piraquara, localizadas na APA do Piraquara, e uma em São José dos Pinhais, na área da futura APA do Miringuava). Nessas escolas, foram entrevistadas as coordenadoras pedagógicas, em razão do objetivo geral inicialmente traçado. Diante desse contexto, vislumbrou-se a possibilidade de análise da formação da professorapedagoga em relação à EA, como consequência dos resultados da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 1977) das entrevistas. Os objetivos específicos foram assim propostos: avaliar a presença da EA na formação das professoras pedagogas; explorar nos resultados das entrevistas as concepções de EA; e buscar uma aproximação das concepções levantadas às macrotendências de EA (LAYRARGUES, 2012). A indagação de pesquisa foi assim definida: na formação das professoras pedagogas, está presente a abordagem de EA? Percebeu-se que há um predomínio das macrotendências conservacionista e pragmática no pensar e desenvolver as atividades de EA nas escolas observadas. Configura-se, assim, um reprodutivismo de ações e projetos que, ano a ano, são reprisados, sem estabelecer uma relação maior com oentorno da escola, a comunidade e os problemas socioambientais aflorados, que podem suscitar uma abordagem crítica que busque, se não a superação, o despertar da reflexão das futuras gerações.
Relações entre Educação Ambiental e Educação Física na Educação Infantil
Authors: Abreu Marise Jeudy Moura de , Carneiro Sônia Maria Marchiorato
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo, referenciado à Tese “O diálogo da Educação Física com a Educação Ambiental na Educação Infantil: um processo de formação de docentes na Rede Municipal de Ensino de Curitiba”, objetiva a evidenciar a relevância da Educação Ambiental na Educação Física, desde a Educação Infantil. Sob essa perspectiva, enfocam-se as diferentes formas de manifestações corporais, vivenciadas pelas crianças em seus ambientes de vida, com destaque às experiências corporais lúdicas, de observação e exploração, nas relações com o eu e os outros, rumo à formação socioambiental cidadã. Motivadas pela curiosidade das “coisas” que habitam os ambientes naturais e sociaise, a mais, incentivadas pelos professores a apreender o mundo por meio dos sentidos, com experiências lúdicas e colaborativas, as crianças podem entender e vivenciar – dentre outros – conceitos como cuidado, respeito, solidariedade, coexistência e interdependência, deveras significativos na linha da cidadania socioambiental. Para tanto, faz-se necessário o empenho de toda comunidade envolvida – diretores, professores, pais, pedagogos e auxiliares administrativos – como coparticipantes na elaboração de um Projeto Político Pedagógico quecontribua para o avanço qualitativo das instituições de educação infantil.
Experiences of Ethical Decision-Making Concerning Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders among Nurses in Intensive Care Units
Authors: JANG Jae-In
Published: October 2019

This article reports on a study that was carried out to document and understand the experiences that nurses in intensive care units in South Korea have when dealing with Do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. The participants in the study were 13 intensive care units nurses, each of whom has at least four years of relevant experience with ethical decision-making concerning DNR orders. Data analysis was based on the content analysis method used in qualitative research. The study found that the ethical values of nurses concerning the treatment and death of patients with DNR orders are not fixed but rather change according to the patient’s situation. This result indicates that it is necessary to provide clearer guidelines for decisions regarding patient care in the context of DNR orders. In addition, further education or training programs concerning DNR orders should be provided to nurses working in intensive care units in South Korea.
The Future of Medical Ethics from an Engineering Perspective: Treatment or Repair?*
Authors: SHIM Jiwon , KIM Moon-Jeong
Published: October 2019

If humans are one day transformed into cyborgs, will they be treated by doctors or rather engineers? And would medical interventions on such beings be seen as cures or rather repairs and maintenance? In a future populated by cyborgs, will doctors be trained as engineers and will engineers also be medical professionals? Questions such as these motivate the present study, which aims to re-examine medical ethics from the perspective of engineering. More specifically, this study attempts to describe how medical practice might be transformed by the introduction of cyborgs and the inclusion of engineering within the field of medicine and also how medical ethics might eventually be combined with engineering ethics.

Imago urbis: las formas del proyecto en el paisaje urbano
Authors: Giusta Fabián Carlos
Published: October 2019

El problema a abordar desde el proyecto arquitectónico es el paisaje urbano y radica en la incapacidad de leer sin ambigüedades los signos que lo hacen histórico ya que, el paisaje en general y la ciudad en particular, constituyen el espacio privilegiado de la memoria de los lugares y, por lo tanto, de la memoria de la comunidad. En este contexto podemos afirmar que la invención formal más importante producida por la vida asociativa del hombre ha sido la ciudad. Esta constituye desde siempre el artificio común fundamental que el hombre ha concebido para poder reflejarse y reconocerse como una comunidad. Por lo tanto estudiar, comprender e interpretar las modalidades estéticas y formales con las cuales una comunidad se representó con el tiempo y a través de sus artefactos urbanos, quiere decir circunscribir de manera disciplinar las razones y fundamentos de una relación específica entre los individuos. La ciudad se ha transformado en un paisaje artificial y aquello que una vez fue el lugar de una pesca meravigliosa (la ciudad, el territorio y el paisaje) es el espacio privilegiado para la acción de un proyecto científico-técnico que ha petrificado el futuro dentro de sus prefiguraciones totalitarias y omnipresentes. Reconocerle, en cambio, a la ciudad un carácter esquivo y enigmático quiere decir erigir un proyecto que pueda reinventarse en su praxis cada vez que aborda y participa en la construcción de la imago urbis.
Le Corbusier y la construcción del espacio (visual) moderno en Brasil
Authors: Benoit Alexandre
Published: October 2019

Este texto procura demostrar cómo Le Corbusier, a través de los viajes de 1929 y 1936 a Río de Janeiro, no solo proporciona las bases de la arquitectura moderna en el país, sino que también problematiza la relación entre espacio construido y naturaleza. Frente a una realidad completamente distinta de aquella del Viejo Mundo, puesto que la naturaleza tropical se impone, el arquitecto franco-suizo se ve impulsado a jugar una partida entre afirmación-hombre y presencia-naturaleza. Tanto Lucio Costa como la primera generación de arquitectos modernos cariocas (Oscar Niemeyer, Alfonso Eduardo Reidy, Jorge Moreira, los hermanos Roberto, entre otros) realizan significativos aportes hacia interpretaciones originales que subvierten y amplían las categorías propuestas por Le Corbusier. Tal empeño –que desarrolla medios diversos de una fluidez entre adentro y afuera, edificio y paisaje– tiene al final una repercusión en la propia aprehensión visual del edificio con los elementos icónicos de ese paisaje: la selva tropical, el morro del Pan de azúcar y la Bahía de Guanabara.
Poéticas del ladrillo. Viejos oficios y nuevas espacialidades
Authors: Ramírez Ponce José Alfonso , Viu Daniel
Published: October 2019

El presente artículo recoge y amplía las conversaciones mantenidas entre los arquitectos Daniel Viu y Alejandra Buzaglo de la FAPyD-UNR con Alfonso Ramírez Ponce durante las visitas que, en el lapso de una semana, se desarrollaron en su casa de la Ciudad de México (CDMX). Las tertulias mantienen una extensa variedad de temas que se inician con su formación en la Academia, abordando la crítica a la falta de reflexión sobre el desarrollo del proceso de proyecto, cuestión que plantea en su tesis de doctorado, pronta a ser publicada por la UNAM. El arquitecto realiza un recorrido por las etapas de su producción arquitectónica definidas como: la mimética, la geométrica y la vinculada a la tradición. Asimismo, analiza la incidencia de la geometría en la eficiencia de una obra de arquitectura y afronta, además, la crítica a los problemas de la Modernidad y a las arquitecturas basadas en prismas ortogonales simples. Un tópico presente en toda la trayectoria arquitectónica de Ramírez Ponce es la constante reflexión sobre los valores que debieran considerarse en el proceso de proyecto. Su interés por la recuperación de los oficios tradicionales incorpora investigaciones espaciales que llevan las técnicas a resultados de alta complejidad espacial.

Authors: Wibowo Ari
Published: October 2019

Industri gula merupakan industri yang memasok energinya sendiri (self sufficiency energy), dimana energi dibangkitkan dari pembakaran biomassa yang berasal dari ampas tebu menghasilkan energi lisrik dan uap. Sistem ini disebut sebagai sistem kogenerasi, artinya pembangkitan dua macam bentuk energi yang berbeda secara bersama-sama dari satu sumber energi utama. Dengan perancangan sistem pembangkit yang tepat, pabrik gula memiliki potensi untuk mengasilkan energi listrik yang lebih besar dari kebutuhan internal, sehingga dapat menjadi energi berlebih (excess power) yang dapat dialirkan ke jaringan listrik PLN. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah merancang peralatan dalam sistem pembangkit uap kogenerasi dengan mengacu kepada potensi energi yang terkandung didalam ampas tebu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dengan perhitungan dan perancangan peralatan yang dilakukan, didapatkan potensi energi dari ampas sebesar 381.818.182 kJ/jam yang dapat menghasilkan uap di boiler sebanyak 100.000 kg/jam pada tekanan 45 barg 400oC. Di dalam turbin dan generator dapat dikonversi menjadi energi listrik sebesar 11 MW.

Cerca del 9% de la población presentará al menos una crisis a lo largo de la vida. La convulsión es la manifestación neurológica más frecuente en los departamentos de emergencia, correspondiendo a cerca del 1-5% de las atenciones, excluyendo el trauma. Objetivo del presente trabajo es discutir diagnósticos diferenciales para crisis convulsivas de origen no encefálico. Revisión de la literatura a través del PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Casos Clínicos, EBSCO, Scielo y Temas de Radiología. Se utilizaron 60 trabajos publicados entre 1927 a 2016. Las crisis convulsivas pueden ocurrir debido a la suspensión brusca de medicamentos antiepilépticos, lesiones estructurales encefálicas, disfunciones metabólicas, intoxicaciones exógenas e interrupción brusca de benzodiazepinas y barbituricos. También existen infecciones sistémicas o del sistema nervioso central, como meningitis, encefalitis y abscesos. Sólo una pequeña parte no tiene causa definida. Existen diversas causas de crisis convulsivas. Se debe saber hacer el diagnóstico diferencial entre ellas, pues no toda crisis convulsiva debe ser crónicamente tratada con antiepilepticos.

The three-component reaction of 5-aminotetrazole with aliphatic aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde) and acetoacetic ester derivatives in water under microwave irradiation leads to the selective formation of 4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Under similar conditions using 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetic ester 5-hydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines are obtained. The analogous reaction with acetylacetone requires scandium(III) triflate as catalyst. The antioxidant activity of selected compounds was assayed with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl.
Evaluation of Hearing Aid Manufacturers’ Software- Derived Fittings to DSL v5.0 Pediatric Targets
Authors: Folkeard Paula , Bagatto Marlene , Scollie Susan
Published: October 2019

Background: Hearing aid prescriptive methods are a commonly recommended component of evidencebasedpreferred practice guidelines and are often implemented in the hearing aid programming software.Previous studies evaluating hearing aid manufacturers’ software-derived fittings to prescriptionshave shown significant deviations from targets. However, few such studies examined the accuracy ofsoftware-derived fittings for the Desired Sensation Level (DSL) v5.0 prescription.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of software-derived fittings to the DSLv5.0 prescription, across a range of hearing aid brands, audiograms, and test levels.
Research Design: This study is a prospective chart review with simulated cases.
Data Collection and Analysis: A set of software-derived fittings were created for a six-month-old testcase, across audiograms ranging from mild to profound. The aided output from each fitting was verified inthe test box at 55-, 65-, 75-, and 90-dB SPL, and compared with DSL v5.0 child targets. The deviationsfrom target across frequencies 250–6000 Hz were calculated, together with the root-mean-square error(RMSE) from target. The aided Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) values generated for the speech passagesat 55- and 65-dB SPL were compared with published norms.
Study Sample: Thirteen behind-the-ear style hearing aids from eight manufacturers were tested.
Results: The amount of deviation per frequency was dependent on the test level and degree of hearingloss. Most software-derived fittings for mild-to-moderately severe hearing losses fell within ±5 dB of thetarget for most frequencies. RMSE results revealed more than 84 percent of those hearing aid fittings for themild-to-moderate hearing losses were within 5 dB at all test levels. Fittings for severe to profound hearinglosses had the greatest deviation from target and RMSE. Aided SII values for the mild-to-moderate audiogramsfell within the normative range for DSL pediatric fittings, although they fell within the lower portionof the distribution. For more severe losses, SII values for some hearing aids fell below the normative range.
Conclusions: In this study, use of the software-derived manufacturers’ fittings based on the DSL v5.0pediatric targets set most hearing aids within a clinically acceptable range around the prescribed target,particularly for mild-to-moderate hearing losses. However, it is likely that clinician adjustment based onverification of hearing aid output would be required to optimize the fit to target, maximize aided SII, andensure appropriate audibility across all degrees of hearing loss.
Regulatory T Cell Development in the Thymus
Authors: Owen David L. , Sjaastad Louisa E. , Farrar Michael A.
Published: October 2019

Development of a comprehensive regulatory T (Treg) cell compartment in the thymus is required to maintain immune homeostasis and prevent autoimmunity. In this study, we review cellular and molecular determinants of Treg cell development in the thymus. We focus on the evidence for a self-antigen–focused Treg cell repertoire as well as the APCs responsible for presenting self-antigens to developing thymocytes. We also cover the contribution of different cytokines to thymic Treg development and the cellular populations that produce these cytokines. Finally, we update the originally proposed “two-step” model of thymic Treg differentiation by incorporating new evidence demonstrating that Treg cells develop from two Treg progenitor populations and discuss the functional importance of Treg cells generated via either progenitor pathway.

Published: October 2019

The aim of the paper is to justify the design and rational parameters of the secondary post-treatment separator of potato heap in the form of a truncated cone with a rotating internal separating surface which ensures the separation of potato tubers from soil lumps commensurate with them. Based on the analysis of works devoted to the process of potato heap separation, including on inclined surfaces, as well as the analytical calculations, it was concluded that it is possible to create a device for separating potato tubers from soil lumps in the form of a rotating truncated cone with an internal separating surface. As a result of the research, the design of the secondary post-treatment separator of potato heap in the form of a rotating drum in the form of a truncated cone with a separating roller. Laboratory and field tests have shown that with appropriate adjustments, separation of up to 80% of soil impurities commensurate in size with potato tubers is provided.

Published: October 2019

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a neglected parasitic skin disease, is endemic in Pakistan, where Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major are the causative protozoan species. Standard treatment with antimonial injections is long, painful, and costly; has toxic side effects; and is not always available in public hospitals. Small pilot studies have previously evaluated a low-cost and noninvasive hand-held exothermic crystallization thermotherapy for cutaneous leishmaniasis (HECT-CL) device. We aimed to further establish the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of HECT-CL in L. tropica. In a prospective observational study, patients with parasitological confirmation of CL were treated using the HECT-CL heat pack for 3 minutes with an initial temperature of 52–53°C for 7 consecutive days. Dried blood spot samples were taken for species identification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Effectiveness was assessed by using medical photographs and measurements of the lesion size at baseline and subsequent follow-up visits, for up to 180 days. We intended to enroll 317 patients. The HECT-CL treatment was easy to apply and well tolerated. Species identification demonstrated the presence of L. tropica. Interim analysis of 56 patients showed a failure rate of 91% at follow-up (median 45 days after treatment, interquartile range 30–60 days). Enrollment of patients was prematurely suspended because of futility. This study showed a high failure rate for HECT-CL thermotherapy in this setting. Leishmania tropica is known to be less sensitive to antileishmanial drugs, more temperature-resistant, and spontaneous healing is slower than that in L. major. More research is needed to identify low-cost, effective, and more patient-friendly treatment for L. tropica.
Alternative Educational Approach to Wheelchair Accessibility Awareness
Authors: Pebdani Roxanna N. , Bourgeois Paul J.
Published: October 2019

Importance: Despite criticisms of disability simulation and the limited research on the topic, disability simulation activities are often used to increase understanding of the challenges faced by people with disabilities.

Objective: To compare two disability awareness activities (disability simulation and an accessibility audit).

Design: A matched pretest–posttest design with two disability awareness activities to study attitudes, affect, cognitions, and behaviors toward disability.

Setting: A small college in New England.

Participants: Eighty-eight undergraduate students.

Intervention: Participants took baseline tests online, after which they participated in a 1-hr on-campus activity. Participants were randomly assigned to either the disability simulation activity or the accessibility audit activity. Participants took posttest surveys online within 1 wk of completing the intervention.

Results: Results demonstrated that both activities lowered negative emotional responses toward people with disabilities, but participants who completed the tape measure activity had a larger decrease in scores. No significant differences were found between the scores of people who completed the different disability awareness activities.

Conclusions: Given the many criticisms of disability simulation practices and marginal differences between activities, it is time for disability simulation activities to be retired from use.

What This Article Adds: The results of this study demonstrate that disability simulation is no better than an accessibility audit in improving attitudes toward people with disabilities. Therefore, educators should cease use of these activities.
Assessment of urban aerosol pollution over Moscow megacity by
MAIAC aerosol product
Authors: Zhdanova Ekaterina Y. , Chubarova Natalia Y. , Lyapustin Alexei I.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. We estimated the distribution of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) with a spatial resolution of 1 km over Moscow megacity using MAIAC aerosol product based on MODIS satellite data (Lyapustin et al., 2018) for the warm period of year (May–September). AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network)-based validation near the city centre at Moscow_MSU_MO and over Moscow suburbs at Zvenigorod revealed that MAIAC AOT at 470 nm is in agreement with AERONET AOT though underestimated by 0.05–0.1 for AOT  1. The MAIAC AOT biases were almost the same for the Moscow_MSU_MO and Zvenigorod AERONET sites, which indicated that MAIAC effectively removed the effect of the bright urban surface in the city centre. For the ground-based measurements, the annual median AOT difference between Moscow_MO_MSU and Zvenigorod (ΔAOT) varied within −0.002±0.03 with statistically significant positive bias for most years and an average ΔAOT of ~ 0.02. According to MAIAC dataset, ΔAOT varied within ±0.01 and was not statistically significant. The ΔAOT started decreasing recently due to intensive urban development of the territory around Zvenigorod and the decrease of pollutant emissions in Moscow, which is mainly caused by the environmental regulations. According to the MAIAC dataset, the most pronounced spatial AOT difference over the territory of Moscow was observed at 5 % quantile level, where it reached 0.05–0.06 over several locations and could be attributed to the stationary sources of aerosol pollution, for example, power plants, or aerosol pollution from roads. The difference between the maximum and the mean AOT for different quantiles, except the 95 % quantile, within the Moscow region, was about 0.02–0.04 which could be attributed to the local aerosol sources. The application of the MAIAC algorithm over the whole Moscow region has revealed a decreasing AOT trend over the centre of Moscow and an increasing trend over the New Moscow territory which experienced an intensive build-up and agricultural development in the north and the south parts of this district, respectively.
A One-Dimensional Model of Turbulent Flow Through ‘Urban’ Canopies: Updates Based on Large-Eddy Simulation
Authors: Nazarian Negin , Krayenhoff E. Scott , Martilli Alberto
Published: October 2019

Abstract. In mesoscale climate models, urban canopy flow is typically parameterized in terms of the horizontally-averaged (1-D) flow and scalar transport, and these parameterizations can be informed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the urban climate at the microscale. Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Simulation (RANS) models have been previously employed to derive vertical profiles of turbulent length scale and drag coefficient for such parameterization. However, there is substantial evidence that RANS models fall short in accurately representing turbulent flow fields in the urban roughness sublayer. When compared with more accurate flow modeling such as Large Eddy Simulations (LES), we observed that vertical profiles of turbulent kinetic energy and associated turbulent length scales obtained from RANS models are substantially smaller specifically in the urban canopy. Accordingly, using LES results, we revisited the urban canopy parameterizations employed in the one-dimensional model of turbulent flow through urban areas, and updated the parameterization of turbulent length scale and drag coefficient. Additionally, we included the parameterization of the dispersive stress, previously neglected in the 1-D column model. For this objective, the PArallelized Large-Eddy Simulation Model (PALM) is used and a series of simulations in an idealized urban configuration with aligned and staggered arrays are considered. The plan area density is varied from 0.0625 to 0.44 to span a wide range of urban density (from sparsely developed to compact midrise neighborhoods, respectively). To ensure the accuracy of the simulation results, we rigorously evaluated the PALM results by comparing the vertical profiles of turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses with wind tunnel measurements, as well as other available LES and DNS studies. After implementing the updated drag coefficients and turbulent length scales in the 1-D model of urban canopy flow, we evaluated the results by a) testing the 1-D model against the original LES results, and demonstrating the differences in predictions between new (derived from LES) and old (derived from RANS) versions of the 1-D model, and b) testing the 1-D model against LES results for a test-case with realistic geometries. Results suggest a more accurate prediction of vertical turbulent exchange in urban canopies, which can consequently lead to an improved prediction of urban heat and pollutant dispersion at the mesoscale.

As cenas independentes e a música ao vivo: elementos da nova configuração da música na atualidade
Authors: De Freitas Benevides Rubens
Published: October 2019

A música foi reconfigurada a partir da década de 1990 em suas mais diversas formas, que vão desde os sentidos que adquirem para as audiências até as formas de criação e execução. A partir das seguidas mudanças de formato nos suportes musicais, chegando às atuais plataformas de streaming, as formas de atualização tecnológica usadas para audição musical impactaram fortemente os centros econômicos da indústria fonográfica. O resultado deste impacto foi uma crise que durou por mais de uma década e uma alteração sensível dos sentidos da música, que passaram a ter como sentido forte a política. No estado de Goiás, no Brasil e em todo o mundo a reconfiguração das formas industriais da música teve como consequência o crescimento das atividades de apresentações ao vivo. Publicações especializadas expressam esse fato em nível global. A partir de levantamento de dados em meio virtual (Internet, redes sociais, listas de e-mails, etc.) no período de 2011 a 2013 pudemos observar este fato junto às cenas de música independente no país. Estas são o locus da música ao vivo através da produção dos festivais.

Floristic surveys allow us to make a momentary assessment of the structure and degree of conservation of the vegetation, supporting future actions for the sustainable use of forest resources. The aim of this work was to study the floristic and structural composition of fragments of floodplain forest in the Cajari River Extractive Reserve, Amapá state, Brazil. Systematic sampling was applied with the allocation of 27 plots of dimensions 10 m x 100 m each, with inclusion level of individuals greater than or equal to 10 cm in diameter at chest height. The floristic diversity of species was determined by the Shannon Diversity Indexes and Pielou Equability. The characterization of the horizontal structure was determined by the parameters: density, frequency and relative and absolute dominance, values of ecological importance and the diametrical distribution. The families Fabaceae and Euphorbiaceae were the ones that obtained the highest richness of species and number of individuals. The species Virola surinamensis Warb., Hevea brasiliensis (HBK) Muell. Arg., Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze and Mora paraensis (Ducke) Ducke, were the most abundant. The várzea forest fragments presented high diversity and high ecological dominance of species. The J-inverted diametric distribution, characteristic of natural forests, indicates that it is a mature forest component with an expressive group of dominating (hyperdominant) species, such as the species V. surinamensis and M. paraensis. Most species presented aggregate distribution. It is hoped that these results may serve the environmental control and control bodies as strategies for the use of forest resources and in the design of the management plan of Resex.

La sociedad relaciona el tema de la sexualidad con juventud promoviendo estereotipos negativos de la sexualidad en la tercera edad, siendo un tabú que no permite el desarrollo y satisfacción sexual en esta etapa de la vida. Objetivo: Explorar la vida sexual de la mujer adulta mayor que asiste al de Centro de Salud Miguel Paz Barahona en el primer semestre del año 2018. Pacientes y Métodos: Estudio mixto, exploratorio, diseño etnográfico, prospectivo. Muestra no probabilística, 50 participantes. Instrumento observación y cuestionario concurrente de preguntas abiertas y cerradas, técnica: entrevista. Los datos cuantitativos fueron procesados en el software SPSS y los cualitativos manual mente. Resultados: 76% (38) tenían 65 años y más, 52% (26) casadas, 46% (23) vivían con su pareja, 64% (32) primaria incompleta, 86% (43) reciben menos del salario mínimo, 88% padecen algún tipo de enfermedad y consumen medicamentos, el 60% (30) indicó no ser activas sexualmente. 52% (26) dijeron que la actividad sexual es mala para la salud, 78% (39) sin deseo sexual. Los datos cualitativos se ordenaron en las siguientes categorías: Categoría 1: Experiencia sexual: coincidieron en que “a esta edad ya no siento deseo sexual”, “tengo relaciones solo por compromiso”, “disfruto más que antes”. Categoría 2: Disfruta de su sexualidad: coinciden en que “no disfruto, porque no estoy activa” otras refieren “disfruto al máximo” Conclusión: La sociedad y los cambios anatómicos, fisiológicos y psicológicos condicionan en su mayoría la percepción sobre la sexualidad durante la adultez mayor provocando una disminución de la actividad y satisfacción sexual.

The evaluation of litterfall and nutrient return is important for understanding the dynamics of nutrient cycling. Although required in smaller quantities by plants, micronutrients have unique importance in biogeochemical regulation. The objective of the present study was to quantify the litterfall and the concentration of micronutrients in the different fractions and seasons of the year in Eucalyptus dunnii stand. Four plots of 20 m x 21 m were demarcated. The collection of leaf litter, twigs (diameter <0.5 cm) and miscellaneous resulted in the installation of 4 collectors with an area of 0.5 m² in each plot. For the quantification of the thick branches fraction (diameter> 0.5 cm), four useful areas of medium-diameter trees were demarcated in each plot. The leaf fraction represented 59% of litterfall and the transfer order was Mn> Fe> B> Zn> Cu, totaling 8.04 kg ha-1. The leaf fraction presented the highest concentrations for B and Mn. The litterfall was seasonal with summer and spring differing statistically from winter and the temperature variable explains the deposition pattern of the same.

Aim of study: Fast and reliable wood identification solutions are needed to combat the illegal trade in native woods. In this study, multivariate analysis was applied in near-infrared (NIR) spectra to identify wood of the Atlantic Forest species.Area of study: Planted forests located in the Vale Natural Reserve in the county of Sooretama (19 ° 01'09 "S 40 ° 05'51" W), Espírito Santo, Brazil.Material and methods: Three trees of 12 native species from homogeneous plantations. The principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression by discriminant function (PLS-DA) were performed on the woods spectral signatures.Main results: The PCA scores allowed to agroup some wood species from their spectra. The percentage of correct classifications generated by the PLS-DA model was 93.2%. In the independent validation, the PLS-DA model correctly classified 91.3% of the samples.Research highlights: The PLS-DA models were adequate to classify and identify the twelve native wood species based on the respective NIR spectra, showing good ability to classify independent native wood samples.Keywords: native woods; NIR spectra; principal components; partial least squares regression.
Percepção do usuário quanto aos atributos de engajamento: uma análise qualitativa

Atualmente, as motivações do usuários vão além de meramente completar uma tarefa operacional nos sistemas de informação. As soluções devem também ser projetadas para promover o engajamento dos usuários. O engajamento pode ser definido como uma qualidade de experiência do usuário. Pelo engajamento estar mais atrelado à parte comportamental e subjetiva, surge a necessidade de capturar e mensurar respostas afetivas durante as interações. Consequentemente, torna-se primordial a evolução dos métodos de medição de tais experiências, a fim de aferir os aspectos subjetivos intrínsecos aos atributos de engajamento para sistemicamente atender a essa nova demanda. Este estudo aborda uma forma de análise qualitativa das características do engajamento objetivando descobrir a importância de cada uma sob a ótica do usuário e a correlação entre elas. Diante deste cenário, visamos contribuir com uma avaliação a partir da percepção do usuário a respeito de quais fatores efetivamente os envolvem durante sua experiência de uso com os sistemas. Nossos resultados apresentaram os atributos de engajamento mais valorizados pelos usuários e quais possuem uma relação de dependência entre eles.
Deceptive Conducts before the Patent Office
Authors: Hoss Eugenio
Published: October 2019

In an increasingly harmonized global patent landscape, few issues still distinguish the US patent system as much as its strict–and often criticized–duty of candor and its inequitable conduct doctrine. The EPO and most other countries around the world impose less burdensome disclosure duties upon patent applicants. What is there to learn from the experience in the US? Have these tools resulted in any benefit worth considering? Yet regardless of the disclosure duties imposed upon patent applicants, a deceptive conduct before the Patent Office could lead to unwarranted exclusive rights and have a negative impact on competition. Should antitrust law intervene? Is it a case of sham litigation? This work attempts to answer those questions through a comparative analysis, examining the law and case law in the US and in the EU from both a patent and a competition law perspective and seeking a workable theory of harm.

Problemas ambientais têm auxiliado no surgimento de doenças preveníeis por meio da promoção de saúde das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS). Portanto o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar a percepção da equipe de saúde da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em relação à degradação ambiental e suas consequências à saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa, realizada com 39 profissionais da saúde da família, por meio de questionário fechado, na cidade de Cáceres/MT. Foram utilizadas 10 variáveis sobre problemas ambientais relacionadas com os recursos naturais água, solo e ar. No geral, as equipes de saúde da família perceberam problemas ambientais urbanos nos bairros, destacando o ESF Cohab Nova que melhor compreendeu as perguntas sobre o tema estudado, a equipe que mostrou maior dificuldade em relação ao tema foi o ESF Guanabara. As variáveis do recurso água foram mais bem percebidas como problemas ambientais. No entanto, as equipes demonstraram em algum momento dificuldade para perceber os riscos em que a população pode estar exposta aos problemas ambientais presentes no território. Conclui-se que as variáveis dos recursos naturais estudados são consideradas problemas ambientais nos territórios das Equipes de Saúde da Família, mas as equipes apresentaram dificuldades em perceber a inter-relação da degradação ambiental urbana e a saúde.
