Published: August 2018

Os primeiros trabalhos que procuraram predizer o crescimento de microrganismos em função do tempo foram realizados por pesquisadores como Bigelow, Esty e Meyer na década de 1920. Nos últimos anos, órgãos de saúde pública de diversos países incentivaram estudos referentes à cinética de microrganismos em alimentos a fim de entender processos de crescimento de deteriorantes e patógenos. A partir destes trabalhos obtiveram-se modelos primários determinísticos e não determinísticos do crescimento de microrganismos. Novas abordagens permitem modelar o comportamento de microrganismos em função de variáveis do meio. Nas últimas décadas a criação de modelos estocásticos permitiu o desenvolvimento de novos modelos determinísticos, porém agora baseados em redes de fluxos metabólicos que permitiram o aumento da efetividade da predição do crescimento em função do tempo e de diversas variáveis e substratos. A modelagem em redes neurais artificiais pode ser aplicada em conjunto com outros modelos matemáticos e esta nova abordagem permite incluir qualquer variável na modelagem a partir de treinamento da rede neural. O desenvolvimento de softwares que utilizam modelos matemáticos de crescimento é de grande importância para a indústria de alimentos, pois permite maior compreensão dos processos microbiológicos, estimativa de vida de prateleira e as inovações na área permitem simulação da influência de diversos fatores.
Hyponatremic dehydration and metabolic alkalosis as dominant manifestation in cystic fibrosis infants with mild phenotype - a case series
Authors: Fustik Stojka , Jakovska Tatjana , Plaseska-Karanfilska Dijana
Published: August 2018

Introduction. Due to increased losses of chloride and sodium in the sweat, children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are predisposed to develop episodes of hyponatremic/hypochloremic dehydration with hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis when they sweat excessively. Even the patients with mild phenotype may have such episodes of dehydration and salt depletion. Outline of cases. Six cases of pancreatic sufficient (PS) CF patients complicated with episodes of severe hyponatremic dehydration with metabolic alkalosis in infancy are presented. The mean age was 6.3 ? 2.16 months at admission. All the cases had no symptoms suggestive of CF before admission. The most common clinical symptoms at the time of hospitalization were vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, dehydration, irritation, or lethargy. Mean values of blood pH, serum bicarbonate, sodium, chloride, and potassium (mmol/l) were as follows: 7.59 ? 0.06, 41.73 ? 5.78, 117.52 ? 2.88, 66.0 ? 11.58 and 2.62 ? 0.37, respectively. Sweat chloride test was pathological and ranged 69?120 mmol/L. The determination of fecal elastase-1 proved that they were PS (values > 200 ?g/g stool). CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene analyses in six cases confirmed the diagnosis of CF; namely, patients were compound heterozygotes for F508del and other rare mutation or compound heterozygotes for two rare mutations. Conclusion. Distinctive about these cases is that they were PS and had very mild presentation of CF. Without these episodes of dehydration, these patients would have remained undiagnosed until later age. CF should be considered in infants and children presenting with hypoelectrolytemia and metabolic alkalosis even in the absence of respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms.

Authors: Stefanovic Neda , Zivkovic Sandic , Martin Juan
Published: August 2018

Introduction/Objective. Maxillary or mandibular retrognathism are common dentofacial deformities treated by combined orthodontic-surgical treatment. Surgical maxillary or mandibular advancement changes the position and strain of surrounding structures, which may also affect pharyngeal airway dimensions. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare three-dimensional pharyngeal airway space changes in patients treated with maxillary advancement and those treated with mandibular advancement. Methods. The sample consisted of 25 patients ? 12 treated with maxillary advancement and 13 with mandibular advancement surgery. Nasopharyngeal (NP) volume, oropharyngeal (OP) volume, and the area of maximum constriction (AMC) in the OP were measured on cone beam computed tomography scans (2 mA / 120 kV / 12?? FOV) taken before and at least three months after surgery. Paired samples t-test was used for analyzing statistical significance of changes (p ? 0.05). Results. Postoperative OP and NP volumes, as well as the AMC, increased insignificantly in both groups. Conclusion. Results suggest that mono-maxillary surgical advancement of the maxilla or the mandible increases pharyngeal airway dimensions.

Authors: Linares González Engelbert Eduardo , García Monroy Ana Isabel , Martínez Allende Lucero
Published: August 2018

La música es un detonante que puede cambiar nuestro estado de ánimo. Según la melodía o la letra de la canción, puede influenciar en nuestro actuar y sentir. La elaboración de canciones como estrategia educativa a nivel superior favorece el aprendizaje significativo en los estudiantes de licenciatura: el alumno pone en práctica acciones mentales que facilitan la adquisición de nuevos conocimientos debido a que la música estimula diversas áreas del cerebro tanto en zonas dedicadas al procesamiento del sonido como del lenguaje. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, se eligieron dos grupos de 40 alumnos de las asignaturas de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electromecánica de Procesos, pertenecientes la Unidad Profesional Interdisciplinaria de Biotecnología (UPIBI) del Instituto Politécnico Nacional. Al inicio del semestre se les aplicó una evaluación diagnóstica para conocer entre otras cosas el nivel de conocimiento de la unidad de aprendizaje a cursar y el estilo de aprendizaje más representativo de cada alumno. Dados los resultados del examen diagnóstico, se propuso un método de trabajo de tipo deductivo cuya intención fuera favorecer el aprendizaje mediante el trabajo en equipo. Pasada la primera evaluación ordinaria del semestre, se les pidió elegir una canción considerando el ritmo y la letra para realizar ajustes a esta última a partir de frases, palabras o conceptos vistos en clase que les hayan representado algún problema durante su interpretación.  Una vez elaboradas las canciones, se les pidió evidenciar el trabajo realizado para ser presentado en la clase. Los resultados revelan que más de 50 % de los alumnos que participaron coinciden que pueden utilizar la música como estrategia facilitadora del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, tanto dentro como fuera del aula, dado que las canciones pueden estimular la imaginación, la visión y la memoria. Por consiguiente, el empleo de canciones dentro del aula puede considerarse un recurso apropiado para el aprendizaje duradero, pues, a partir de  la combinación entre ritmos, estrofas y repeticiones, permite a los alumnos asimilar de mejor manera nueva información. Los resultados encontrados evidencian la necesidad de crear estrategias y explotar nuevas técnicas y métodos de enseñanza, con la idea de fortalecer y reforzar el proceso educativo y que sirva como un incentivo para mejorar la educación y la calidad de vida.

Toxoplasmose gestacional: perfil epidemiológico e conhecimentos das gestantes atendidas na unidade básica de saúde de um município alagoano
Authors: Moura Dayanne Silva de , Oliveira Rita de Cássia Mendes , Matos-Rocha Thiago José
Published: August 2018

A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose mundialmente distribuída causada por um protozoário intracelular, o Toxoplasma gondii, que é capaz de infectar o homem, aves e mamíferos. A toxoplasmose congênita ocorre quando a gestante adquire a primoinfecção durante a gravidez e transmite via transplacentária ao feto. Assim o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o conhecimento das gestantes frente a este assunto. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa realizada em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde. A amostra da pesquisa foi do tipo não probabilístico por conveniência, contemplando 40 gestantes em acompanhamento pré-natal. Frente aos resultados analisados, verificou-se que o desconhecimento das gestantes sobre a toxoplasmose está relacionado à falta de orientações e informações dos profissionais de saúde durante as consultas de pré-natal, o que justifica os hábitos de vida e alimentares inadequados favorecendo uma possível infecção. O papel da Enfermagem é de fundamental importância neste aspecto, um pré-natal respaldado evita agravos durante gestação e pós-parto.Descritores: Toxoplasmose congênita, Formas de transmissão, Papel do profissional de enfermagem, Gravidez, Cuidado pré-natal
Melanogenesis Using Tyrosinate (Not Tyrosinase)
Authors: Vercruysse Koen , Richardson Nahfisa
Published: August 2018

We present our initial observations regarding the effect of the presence of L-tyrosinate (= L-tyrosine disodium salt) on the auto- or Fe2+/H2O2-mediated oxidation of various catecholic substances into melanin-like pigments. We observed that L-tyrosinate inhibited the Fe2+/H2O2-mediated oxidation. In contrast, L-tyrosinate promoted the auto-oxidation of ortho-diphenols like L-DOPA, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, catechol or pyrogallol, but not a meta-diphenol like resorcinol. In addition, we briefly demonstrated the melanogenic properties of cell culture media containing L-tyrosinate. The reactions were monitored using UV-Vis spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography. For a reaction between L-tyrosinate and L-DOPA, a large scale experiment was set up allowing us to isolate, purify and characterize using FT-IR spectroscopy the melanin-like material obtained. We discuss our observations in the context of the in vitro and in vivo study of melanogenesis and provide some directions for future research efforts.

Published: August 2018

Diagnosis suatu penyakit akan menjadi tepat jika didukung dengan berbagai proses mulai pengecekan awal (amannesa) sampai pengecekan laboratorium. Hasil dari proses laboratorium mempunyai informasi berbagai penyakit, akan tetapi beberapa jenis penyakit memiliki prevalensi rendah. Penyakit bervalensi rendah memiliki pengaruh dalam penanganan pasien lebih lanjut. Dengan rasio yang tidak seimbang data laboratorium akan menyebabkan nilai akurasi menjadi rendah dalam pengklasifikasian dan penanganan penyakit. Majority Weighted Minority Oversampling Technique (MWMOTE) adalah saalah satu cara untuk menyelesaikan imbalanced. Penelitian ini bertujuan menangani permasalahan ketidakseimbangan data laboratorium kesehatan sehingga diperoleh hasil pengklasifikasian penyakit dengan tingkat akurasi lebih tinggi. Hasil pada penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa MWMOTE dapat meningkatkan akurasi untuk permasalahan ketidakseimbangan data sebesar 3,13%.   Diagnosis of a disease will be appropriate if supported by various processes ranging from initial checks (amannesa) to laboratory checks. Results from the laboratory process have information on various diseases, but some types of diseases have a low prevalence. Low-valvature disease has an effect in the treatment of the patient further. With an unbalanced ratio the laboratory data will cause the accuracy value to be low in the classification and handling of the disease. Majority Weighted Minority Oversampling Technique (MWMOTE) is one way to complete imbalanced. This study aims to address the problem of imbalance of health laboratory data to obtain the results of the classification of disease with a higher degree of accuracy. The results of this study indicate that MWMOTE can improve accuracy for data imbalance problems by 3.13%.
THE CLASSIFICATION OF PRAYER HALLS IN MODERN SAUDI MASJIDS: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE CITY OF JEDDAH
Authors: Elkhateeb Ahmed , Attia Maged , Balila Yaser , Adas Adnan
Published: August 2018

Prayer hall, where traditional Muslim prayers take place, is the most important element of Masjids (mosques). Prayer halls are historically shaped as simple orthogonal walled spaces. Over time, little changes have occurred to them. Recently, with the evolution of architectural schools of thought and the advent of new construction and electromechanical systems, prayer halls have been subject to creativity and experimentation. Architects designed prayer halls with different shapes, spatial configurations and forms which, in some instances, contradict with the essentials of prayer. This research attempts to monitor and classify different types of contemporary prayer halls according to their spatial configuration with special reference to the Saudi Arabian context. Taking the city of Jeddah as a case study, a representative sample of masjids is surveyed, documented, analyzed and classified. The analysis is based on shape, enclosure, symmetry and complexity of prayer halls space. The study concludes basic and non-basic prayer halls and their corresponding bisects. The classification, however, constitutes a base upon which design criteria for prayer halls across the Islamic countries can be built.
PLANNING GUIDELINES FOR ENHANCING PLACEMAKING WITH TALL BUILDINGS
Authors: Al-Kodmany Kheir M
Published: August 2018

This paper provides a summary of a recent book by the author on urban design guidelines for integrating tall buildings in urban environments.  The paper discusses the placemaking problems created by tall buildings, and simultaneously attempts to harness the potential of tall buildings to enhance placemaking. The research contends that instead of contributing to the problem of placelessness, well-designed tall buildings can rejuvenate cities, ignite economic activity, support social life and boost city pride through the science, engineering and craftsmanship embodied in these buildings. Although this study does not claim to possess all the solutions to these matters, it does propose 10 design and planning guidelines that can help to promote placemaking through tall buildings.

Published: August 2018

The paper deals with the architectural conservation of the Medina of Mahdia in Tunisia in the 21st century. This millenary ancient Fatimid capital offers an example of urban heritage that continues to impose rougher debates about the uncertainty and the lack of its conservation, promotion and valorisation nowadays.The research examines multiple dimensions related to actual state of the case study, proceeded conservation projects and different actors’ points of view mainly local population and involved institutions. It aims to find out if the case study is recognised as valuable heritage, and how much did the proceeded projects succeeded in ensuring urban and architectural conservation. By assessing and criticising, experimentations are displayed, faults are revealed and thus more suggestions are announced to mend the degradation and improve future projects that will be initiated on built heritage in the case study or in other Medina of the country.
ORDINARY HERITAGE
Authors: Podder Apurba K
Published: August 2018

The motives behind the selection of heritage buildings for conservation are conventionally founded on an elitist sense of historicity and romantic nostalgia of the past. This paper argues that such an approach has a tendency to be temporally rigid, object-focused and exoticism-biased. Often many of the buildings selected as heritage are those built by extensive labour and expensive materials and patronized by the wealthy. Little, however, has been explored on the relation between heritage and aspects of ordinary life, where, in many cases, the latter continue to infuse meaning into the former’s present heritage status. This paper uses a non-participant observational lens to examine an old market tissue in Khulna, an ex-colonial city in Bangladesh and proposes a new notion called ‘ordinary heritage’. Ordinary heritage, as argued, relies on historically persistent socio-economic transactions of the common and the ordinary in their everyday and occasional pursuit for livelihood. These transactions of ordinary people, which are temporally non-static and evolving, take place within and around the architecture of the built environment, making the production of architecture to be fluid, dynamic and most importantly temporary. It forces architecture to constantly evolve, while negotiating the aspiration, needs, aesthetic and reasoning of ordinary subjects. Ordinary heritage thus manifests as a socio-spatial-temporal assemblage innate to an urban tissue that runs as a single organism.

Published: August 2018

The Road Landscape creates the character and the spatial quality for safe driving. It is evident that the spatial qualities of the road landscape have impacted on road accidents once the field data is analyzed. Identification of accident-prone areas (Black-Spots) is the vital factor for road safety management process. The study focused on to developing a methodology to visually analyze road landscape with using identified Black-Spots in Southern Expressway, Sri Lanka. Data is collected and analyzed as two phases; one is from recorded accidents data and other from a live recording of the expressway driving stretch. This study highlighted the possibilities of analyzing the identified ‘Black-spots’ by using Photo-Fixation method. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the possibility of using a qualitative methodology to analyze the road landscape through spatial characteristics; which can be developed up to a more advanced level to identifying driving behavior related accidents and to take migratory actions.
INTERRELATION BETWEEN LEGIBILITY ATTRIBUTES AND PARK UTILIZATION AS DETERMINANTS FOR RESPONSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS

Published: August 2018

The rising need for social interaction is evident particularly in urban areas due to a stressful urban life and social isolation. In residential areas, neighborhood parks have an important function in supporting social integration and social bonding. Nevertheless, studies have indicated that these parks are not fully utilized for the benefits of residents which could be due to the lack of parks’ legibility. This paper investigates the interrelationship between park utilization and legibility of three neighborhood parks within new residential developments in Malaysia. The research findings are based on field observations and a questionnaire survey conducted with 387 residents of the areas. Results indicate a significant correlation between park utilization and park legibility, implying the potential for social interactions among residents within a legible park setting. The level of the park visual obstruction and the clarity of its structure were found to be strongly linked with park utilization and the intensity of outdoor activities. However, certain critical physical characteristics including the critical density of population and gated neighborhoods may decrease the positive effect of park’s legibility. The findings inform the crucial role of legible environment in the design and planning of neighborhood parks to afford socially responsive public spaces thus enhances the social life of urban dwellers.
A PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH TO INTEGRATE PARAMETRIC THINKING IN EARLY DESIGN STUDIOS
Authors: Alalouch Chaham
Published: August 2018

Parametric design has been perceived as a highly sophisticated set of procedures requiring complex specialized softwares, making its introduction as part of undergraduate architectural education difficult. The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of introducing parametric thinking to novice architectural design students, using a purpose-designed non-CAD method. After a detailed lecture, students were asked to use the method to perform a design task based on parametric design principles and inspired by elements from vernacular architecture. Students’ feedback was obtained in regard to three learning domains: Intellectual Skills, Cognitive Strategies, and Affective; and the effects of previous knowledge of CAD and gender were explored. The data was analysed statistically. Results showed that the method has managed to successfully address the three learning domains, with most of the students expressing a strong intention to learn more about Parametricism. Both genders were found to be equally prepared to receive and accept information about parametric design through our method. Students with previous CAD training showed better control over the method, whereas the other group showed better appreciation of the concept. It is concluded that when parametric thinking is seen as a pedagogic intention and not as a design tool, it can be effectively introduced to novice design students, in order to prepare them to meet the demand in practice for graduates who are aware of the recent trends in architectural design and form generation processes, and who are prepared to use the latest digital tools efficiently.
TYPE VERSUS STEREOTYPE: AN ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF US CITIES AND PUBLIC SPACES
Authors: Eshrati Dorna
Published: August 2018

In their minds, people have images of places they have never visited. In the twenty-first century, the constant exposure to media has had a great role in shaping people’s perception of foreign places. Despite the revealing aspect of media, they also play an important role in creating misconceptions about other countries. This paper explores international college students’ perceptions of United States cities and public spaces before and after coming to study in the US. It also investigates the role of media and representations in shaping their conceptions or misconceptions of the US. Forty-one Kansas State University international students from different countries participated in an online survey about their perceptions of US building types, infrastructure, and governance/policy regarding the built environment. About 58% of the participants claim that their image of US cities and public spaces changed after studying there; with only 15% claiming that US cities and public built environment are shown “like they are” in their home countries. Small US cities have a poor image in international students’ perceptions in comparison to the rich image of big cities most notably New York City. This paper not only argues that peoples' perceptions of places can change after visiting them in person, but also it highlights the role of media in creating misconceptions about foreign places. The findings can highlight the importance of media in managing city branding.

Authors: Da Silva Paes Geisllen Cristina , Ferreira Carlos Eduardo Faria
Published: August 2018

O uso indiscriminado de medicamentos antimicrobianos pode acarretar graves consequências como reações adversas para os pacientes, o aumento da resistência bacteriana e para o hospital gastos desnecessários. A fragmentação da responsabilidade do tratamento farmacológico, especialmente devido à presença de múltiplos prescritores de medicamentos para um mesmo paciente, juntamente com a extensiva quantidade de medicamentos novos e o elevado grau de morbidade e mortalidade associadas aos medicamentos, são, em grande parte, responsáveis pelos problemas relacionados ao uso de medicamentos. Os Problemas Relacionados aos Medicamentos Antimicrobianos são reações adversas ao medicamento, este considerado inevitável. Já os erros na medicação como prescrição incorreta, tempo de tratamento inadequado, erros de dispensação, omissão ou erros na administração estes por sua vez são considerados evitáveis podendo ou não causar danos à saúde do paciente. O objetivo do estudo é identificar problemas relacionados a medicamentos antimicrobianos. Foram estudados 32 pacientes, e encontradas 7 interações medicamentosas, erros de omissão e reação adversa, sendo que 25% dos pacientes adquiriram infecção hospitalar. Com o presente trabalho verifica-se que os antimicrobianos são uma classe cuja prescrição é frequente na clínica médica, apresentando quantidade de interações medicamentosas significativas, reação adversa e erros de omissão.

Published: August 2018

A associação entre o diabetes tipo 1 e doenças tireoidianas autoimunes é bem descrita na literatura, estando claramente indicado o rastreio de tireoidopatias em diabéticos tipo 1, mesmo que em indivíduos assintomáticos. Não obstante, a presença de distúrbios tireoidianos está associado a piora do controle glicêmico em diabéticos, bem como aumento da prevalência e gravidade das complicações da doença. A correlação entre o diabetes tipo 2 e distúrbios tireoidianos não está clara, baseando-se em resultados conflitantes de estudos clínicos. Dados de custo-eficácia e estudos longitudinais são escassos na literatura. Desta forma, a necessidade de rastreio de doença tireoidiana nessa população permanece indefinida. Este estudo transversal avaliou 120 participantes assintomáticos (60 diabéticos tipo 2 e 60 não diabéticos), sem distúrbio tireoidiano conhecido, através da dosagem sérica de TSH. Não foram observadas diferença estatística dos níveis plasmáticos de TSH entre os grupos (p= 0,29), embora uma significativa parcela de indivíduos diabéticos assintomáticos tenha apresentado anormalidades do TSH (8,33 %). Baseando-se em estudos de desfechos clínicos, a pesquisa de anormalidades do TSH em diabéticos tipo 2 poderia apresentar benefícios, tendo em vista a influência desta anormalidade no perfil glicídico e nas complicações do diabetes, bem como sua detecção em parcela significativa de indivíduos diabéticos assintomáticos. Palavras-chave: TSH, tireoidopatia diabetes tipo 2.

Authors: Miranda Carla , Silva Maria , Rabelo Helen , Favoreto Nayara
Published: August 2018

Objetivou-se realizar um estudo de revisão sistemática sobre os principais marcadores inflamatórios como fator de risco para o diabetes gestacional e sua relação com mecanismos fisiológicos e metabólicos. As buscas bibliográficas foram feitas nas seguintes bases de dados eletrônicas:  Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Pubmed/Medline, Scientific Library Online (Scielo), e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - BIREME. Os descritores utilizados durante as buscas nas bases de dados foram: gestational diabetes mellitus, inflammation, diet therapy. Encontraram-se 249 artigos entre os anos de 2013 e 2018, sendo 249 (37,7%) associado ao seguinte descritor “diabetes mellitus e inflamação”. A interleucina (IL-10) foi a que mais associou ao bom prognóstico. O estado inflamatório no diabetes mellitus é algo que acarreta uma cascata de complicações segundarias à doença. Por isso faz-se necessário estudos clínicos para avaliar a associação entre os parâmetros do metabolismo da glicose e os marcadores inflamatórios com vista para melhora prognóstica.

Published: August 2018

Introdução: Devido à frequente ausência de sintomas em sua fase aguda, a maior parte dos diagnósticos dos casos de hepatites virais é realizada inadvertidamente em doações de sangue ou triagem pré-cirúrgica. Objetivo: Inédito na região Norte Fluminense, o presente estudo definiu a soroprevalência das hepatites B e C entre doadores de sangue do Hemocentro do Hospital Ferreira Machado. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico retrospectivo, realizado por meio de análise de dados dos doadores de sangue do Hemocentro do HFM dos anos de 2004 a 2015. Os marcadores analisados foram anti-HBc e anti-HCV (IgG e total). Resultados: Um total de 86.815 amostras foram analisadas. Destes, 54.585 (62.9%) eram do sexo masculino e 32.230 (37.1%) eram do sexo feminino. A prevalência de anti-HBc positivo foi de 2.86% (2488), sendo a faixa etária de maior prevalência de anti-HBc positivo de 40 a 49 anos (25.76%, p<0.0001). Em relação ao anti-HCV, a prevalência foi de 0.67% (581), sendo a faixa etária mais acometida de 30 a 39 anos (38%, p<0.0001). A prevalência de soropositividade para os marcadores anti-HBc e anti-HCV foi maior entre os homens (74.1% e 70.6%, respectivamente). Conclusão: Quando comparadas as prevalências das hepatites virais entre triênios selecionados (2004-6, 2007-9, 2010-12 e 2013-15), notou-se relevante decréscimo (p<0.0001). Observou-se que, quando comparada à média nacional, a região Norte Fluminense apresenta uma baixa positividade para o anti-HCV e valores compatíveis com outras regiões do país em relação ao anti-HBc.

Deteksi cepat kadar air dan viabilitas benih sangat penting dalam teknologi benih. Pemanfaatan bunyi yang dihasilkan benih bila dipantulkan dengan benda lain adalah salah satu cara yang belum diteliti. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari pemanfaatan alat deteksi bunyi untuk menduga kadar air dan viabilitas benih kedelai (Glycine max L. Merrill) dengan melihat frekuensi gelombang bunyi yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini terdiri dari dua percobaan, percobaan pertama mempelajari pengaruh antara ukuran benih dan kadar air terhadap frekuensi bunyi yang dihasilkan dari pantulan benih. Percobaan kedua mempelajari pengaruh antara ukuran benih dan viabilitas terhadap frekuensi bunyi yang dihasilkan dari pantulan benih. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan dua faktor yaitu ukuran benih + kadar air dan ukuran benih + viabilitas. Hasil menunjukan bahwa pada percobaan pertama terdapat interaksi antara ukuran benih dan kadar air. Ukuran benih sedang memiliki korelasi yang positif antara kadar air dan ukuran benih terhadap frekuensi dan memiliki nilai korelasi (r) 0.96 yang mendekati 1 (≈1), artinya semakin tinggi kadar air maka frekuensi pantulan bunyi yang dihasilkan semakin tinggi. Percobaan kedua tidak terdapat interaksi antara ukuran benih dan viabilitas. Ukuran benih sedang memiliki nilai frekuensi tertinggi yaitu 482.36 Hz.

Published: August 2018

Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Ilmu dan Teknologi Benih, Departemen Agronomi dan Hortikultura, Institut Pertanian Bogor pada bulan Februari-April 2012. Percobaan pertama  bertujuan untuk menentukan toleransi benih beberapa varietas kacang hijau terhadap cekaman kekeringan menggunakan PEG 6000 dengan berbagai tingkat tekanan osmotik (0, -0.5, -1, -2 dan -3) bar. Percobaan kedua, Controlled Deterioration Test (CDT) dengan suhu 45°C, kadar air 20%, 22%, 24% dan 26% serta lama penderaan 0 jam, 24 jam, 48 jam dan 72 jam bertujuan untuk mendapatkan kondisi air benih dan lama penderaan yang efektif untuk menguji vigor lima varietas benih kacang hijau. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Kelompok Lengkap Teracak  dua faktor. Percobaan  ketiga bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat keeratan hubungan antara hasil percobaan pertama dan percobaan kedua, sehingga dapat diketahui keefektifan metode CDT sebagai indikator dalam menguji ketahanan benih kacang hijau terhadap cekaman kekeringan. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan terhadap variabel KCT dan IV diperoleh hasil bahwa PEG 6000 yang mampu menyeleksi benih yang tahan dan tidak tahan terhadap kekeringan adalah tekanan osmotik -1 bar. Hasil dari percobaan dua yaitu kondisi CDT yang dapat digunakan untuk menguji vigor benih adalah kondisi CDT (kadar air/lama penderaan) 20%/48 jam dan 22%/24 jam. Hasil analisis korelasi antara variabel-variabel pada tekanan osmotik PEG 6000 -1 bar dengan VCDT pada dua kondisi CDT (20%/48 jam dan 22%/24 jam) menunjukkan korelasi nyata pada variabel %KN (r= 0.61 dan 0.58) dan KCT (r=0.62 dan 0.59).

Percobaan dilaksanakan di Cikarawang, Dramaga, Bogor dari bulan November 2012 hingga Maret 2013. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui waktu yang paling tepat dalam pemberian pupuk kandang dan pemberian pupuk hayati. Percobaan ini menggunakan rancangan percobaan secara split plot dan rancangan lingkungannya adalah Rancangan Kelompok Lengkap, terdiri atas 2 faktor dan 4 ulangan. Faktor pertama, sebagai anak petak, adalah waktu aplikasi pupuk kandang ayam dengan 4 perlakuan yaitu, aplikasi pupuk kandang 10 ton/ha yang diberikan saat 2 minggu sebelum tanam, 10 ton/ha yang diberikan saat 4 minggu setelah tanam, 10 ton/ha yang diberikan saat 6 minggu setelah tanam, dan aplikasi bertahap 5 ton/ha yang diberikan saat 2 minggu sebelum tanam dan 5 ton/ha saat 4 minggu setelah tanam. Faktor ke-2, sebagai petak utama, adalah pemberian pupuk hayati dengan 2 perlakuan (dengan dan tanpa pupuk hayati). Produktivitas padi paling tinggi (5.04 ton GKG/ha) diperoleh dari perlakuan aplikasi bertahap 5 ton pupuk kandang /ha saat 2 minggu sebelum tanam dan 5 ton pupuk kandang /ha saat 4 minggu setelah tanam dengan tambahan pupuk hayati. Produktivitas tersebut tidak berbeda nyata dengan 4.72 ton GKG/ha akibat aplikasi 10 ton pupuk kandang/ha pada 2 minggu sebelum tanam, tanpa pupuk hayati.
A review on China’s soft power projection through its transnational media institutions: Conveying discourse of economic responsibilities in media ‘going-out’
Authors: Zhao Xin
Published: August 2018

This conference paper provides a systematic review of previous literature on China’s media ‘going-out’ project, one of China’s soft power initiatives. The project was launched to mainly counteract the media imperialism and the China threat theory, and disseminate China’s responsible power claim, the core value of China’s soft power practice. Particularly, China tries to portray its responsibilities in economy. But it is under-studied how China’s transnational media represent China’s responsible power claim during the media ‘going-out’ project. It is necessary to bridge this academic gap by examining relevant media texts and production procedures based on a comprehensive understanding of the Chinese conceptions of responsibility and the Western conceptions of China’s responsibility.
A re-examination of the cultural resistance orthodoxies within scholarly open access communication
Authors: Johnson Gareth
Published: August 2018

This paper presents a critical re-consideration of the problems in achieving a greater embrace of the praxis of open access (OA) to research publications within the UK academy. It offers an ideological critique of the underlying subversion of scholarly communication by an industrialised publishing sector. It also considers the ideological and financial drivers that have caused the emergence of an open access to research publications movement. Through examining this developing open access paradigm, it problematises aspects of the UK academy's reluctance to engage. While examining academics’ imperative to disseminate research, through exploring the legacy publication model, it proposes that that the higher education policy landscape must also be accounted for, when considering engagement barriers. Hence, the paper concludes that the conditioning of academics by a neoliberal policy-saturated environment likely contributes to their reticence to embrace the praxis.

EXPECTATIVAS ESCOLARES E EVASÃO DE ALUNOS DA EJA NO CONTEXTO DE IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DA HIDRELÉTRICA BELO MONTE, ALTAMIRA/PA
Authors: Sabino Maria Gorete Rosa , Menezes Alcione Sousa de
Published: August 2018

Este artigo visa analisar as expectativas dos estudantes e o abandono escolar na modalidade Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) em Altamira, um dos municípios mais impactados socialmente pela construção da Hidrelétrica Belo Monte, no estado do Pará. Especificamente, buscamos compreender, entre os estudantes que permanecem na EJA, o que buscam nesta modalidade de ensino; quais são as características destes jovens e adultos, os significados que a EJA assume para os mesmos e, ainda, refletimos acerca das práticas docentes na EJA, se as mesmas possibilitam aprendizado significativo aos estudantes que a procuram. Os dados coletados e analisados, segundo a perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa, demonstram que as transformações socioeconômicas levaram a grande procura pela EJA, devido à oferta de empregos. Por outro lado, o arrefecimento desta oferta, como o fim da obra e com o não cumprimento das condicionantes, provocou impacto negativo na permanência escolar dos estudantes. Apesar disto, entre os estudantes que permanecem, há projeção de expectativas na EJA quanto à melhoria de vida no campo profissional e pessoal e destacam a EJA como espaço-tempo de sociabilidade e aprendizados importantes para a vida.

Authors: Silva Edfranklin Moreira da , Corbin Maria Madalena Freire , Silva Hellen Do Socorro de Araújo , Brilho Silvaneide Santos de Queiroz Côrte
Published: August 2018

Estudar a organização do trabalho em sistemas de produção familiares (SPF) pode ajudar a compreender as lógicas de reprodução social dos camponeses e assim pensar outras epistemologias que orientem a atuação no ensino, na pesquisa e na extensão. Objetivou-se neste artigo refletir a categoria trabalho como um princípio educativo na Licenciatura em Educação do Campo (LEDOC) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) – Campus do Tocantins/Cametá. A pesquisa foi realizada junto à comunidade quilombola de Tomásia, no município de Cametá, Pará. Foram realizadas cinco oficinas formativas e um diagnóstico dos SPF, com aplicação de questionários a 19 famílias da localidade. Os SPF são diversificados, principalmente, no que se refere as culturas que são para segurança alimentar das famílias. O cultivo da mandioca é a principal atividade que gera renda. Compreendeu-se que a produção é central para a reprodução das famílias, assim ao mesmo tempo em que orientamos as famílias para se reconhecerem enquanto sujeitos de direitos, também realizamos formações sobre a política nacional de alimentação escola (PNAE) e sobre a gestão coletiva de feiras, a fim de ter uma produção para a casa, para a escola e para as feiras.

Like other volumes in this series the book discusses exchange
control measures, liberalization and economic development, and tends to
analyse indi¬vidual policies and restrictions, their administration and
the overall economic environment in which they operate. Each country
study in this series is essen¬tially over time. The analysis for each
country follows, more or less, the same pattern. Broadly three areas are
focused upon.
