Mitogen-Induced Interferon Gamma Production in Human Whole Blood: The Effect of Heat and Cations
Authors: Nam Ji-Hyun , Cha Bomi , Park Jun-Young , Abekura Fukushi , Kim Cheorl-Ho , Kim Jeong-Ran
Published: August 2019

Background:

Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) are blood tests used to measure the amount of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) released by T lymphocytes after stimulation by antigens specific for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection. A mitogen serves as a positive control to assess the immune function in IGRAs.

Methods:

This in vitro study was conducted to evaluate IFN-γ production by human whole blood stimulated with heat-treated and/or cation-supplemented phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM), using QuantiFERON-TB Gold Kit ELISA tests.

Results:

The optimal concentrations of PWM, Con A and PHA for IGRAs were 2 µg/mL, 5 µg/mL and 10 µg/mL, respectively. The results showed that IFN-γ production in response to PWM was the highest and PHA was the lowest amount. The median values of three mitogens were in the following order: PWM≥Con A≥ positive control>PHA-P>negative control. PWM and PHA were heat stable, while Con A was heat sensitive. The mitogen response of lymphocytes to untreated or heat-treated PWM and heat-treated Con A was increased in 1 mM Ca2+-supplemented groups, whereas the response to heat-treated PHA was decreased. Exposure to 1 mM Mg2+ had no effect on untreated or heat-treated PWM, and a concentration of 1 mM Zn2+ inhibited the stimulation of un-treated PWM. We found that calcium supplementation improved the PWM-induced production of IFN-γ.

Conclusion:

Therefore, PWM is an appropriate mitogen for use as a positive control in IGRAs. It is a potential indicator of cytokine production in the diagnostic as well as research settings, and calcium supplementation improved stimulation.

Authors: Zhang Chao , Hu Anming , Jing Yingli , Yang Degang , Li Jianjun
Published: August 2019

Background:

The research about anti-edema effects of mannitol on acute traumatic spinal
cord injury (SCI) in rats is rare.

Objective:

This study aimed to explore the effect of mannitol on spinal cord edema after SCI in rats.

Methods:

Seventy-eight adult female rats were assigned to three groups randomly: a sham control
group (n = 18), a contusion and normal saline contrast group (n=30), and a contusion and mannitol
treatment group (n=30). We used the open-field test to estimate the functional recovery of rats weekly.
Spinal cord water content was measured to determine the spinal cord edema. The ultrastructure
features of the injured dorsolateral spinal cord were determined on the 7th day after SCI by HE staining.

Results:

The mannitol group had greatly improved Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores when
compared with the saline contrast group. The spinal cord water content was increased significantly
after SCI, and there was no significant difference in the water content between the NaCl and mannitol
groups 1 day after SCI. The water content at 3 and 7 days after SCI was significantly lower in the
mannitol group than in the NaCl group (p < 0.05). Mannitol can reduce spinal cord edema by increasing
the number of red blood cells in the injured spinal cord and decrease the ratio (dorsoventral
diameter/ mediolateral diameter) of spinal cord 7 days post-SCI.

Conclusion:

Mannitol increases recovery of motor function in rats, reduces spinal cord edema and
increases the number of red blood cells in the injured spinal cord, decreasing the ratio of spinal cord
to reduce pressure.
New Hydrazone Derivatives of Pyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes Exhibited Anti-inflammatory Properties
Authors: Song Mingxia , Liu Bing , Yu Shengwang , He Shihui , Liang Yuqiu , Li Sifan , Chen Qiuyan , Deng Xianqing
Published: August 2019

Background:

Several series of hydrazone derivatives of pyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes (4-
11) were designed and synthesized to screen their inflammatory activity.

Methods:

The products were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. In vitro LPS-induced
TNF-α model and in vivo xylene-induced ear-edema model were used to evaluate their antiinflammatory
activity.

Results and Conclusion:

Bioassays indicated that most of the compounds markedly inhibited the
expression of TNF-α at the concentration of 10 µg/mL. Compounds 7b and 11c, two of the most
potent compounds, exhibited TNF-α inhibitory ability in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values
of 5.56 and 3.69 µM, respectively. In vivo, intraperitoneal administration with 7b and 11c markedly
inhibited the ear edema at the doses of 20 and 50 mg/kg. Compound 11c, inhibited edema by 49.59 %
at the dose of 20 mg/kg, was comparable to the reference drug dexamethasone at the same dose (with
an inhibition of 50.49 %). To understand the binding pattern, molecular docking of representative
7b and 11c was performed, which demonstrated that both compounds have a forceful binding with
the TNF-α, and that the phenyl and hydrazide moieties of them play a significant role in binding
with the target site.
The Difference in Sensing Properties Towards Anions between Two Pyridinium Amide-Based Receptors with a Subtle Change of H-Bond Position
Authors: Gong Wei-tao , Qu Wei-dong , Ning Guiling
Published: August 2019

Two pyridinium amide-based receptors L1 and L2 with a small difference of H-bond position
of the amide have been synthesized and characterized. Interestingly, they exhibited a huge difference in
sensing towards AcO- and H2PO4
-, respectively. Receptor L1 was found to be ‘naked-eye’ selective for
AcO- anions, while receptor L2 showed clear fluorescence enhancement selective to H2PO4
- anion. The
recognition ability has been established by fluorescence emission, UV-vis spectra, and 1HNMR titration.

Authors: Pratistha Indra , Wardoyo Retantyo
Published: August 2019

Based on BPS data, the growth of plantation crop production in NTB Province in 2011 to 2016 was recorded to have decreased by an average of 3.3 thousand tons annually. Coffee plants in particular are 0.1 thousand tons on average, the lack of public interest in planting coffee properly on land owned so that it impacts on land use that is not in accordance with its potential which will result in decreased productivity and erosion of land quality [1]. The first study of land suitability analysis for coffee plantations used a matching method in robusta coffee with a matching method producing a class (S1) of 0,46% [2] the second using a matching method on robusta coffee producing a class (S1) of 0,015% [3] These results indicate the ability of each land is different so that the results of the analysis vary. This study applies the ANP method and modified matching profile where the level of recommendations of coffee plants on the ability of land in East Lombok Regency through validation based on coffee production data from the East Lombok District Agricultural Service produces a match in rank 1 of 87,5% and 75% with non-modified profile matching.

Authors: Kurniawan Andi
Published: August 2019

Water contamination is one of the main environmental problem presently. One of the contaminants that become serious problem in aquatic ecosystems is Cr(VI) which is toxic for living organisms. Therefore, technology to solve this problem is urgent. Biosorption is one of the alternative technologies that inexpensive and environmentally friendly. The present study analyzed the biosorption of Cr(VI) using streamer biofilm. Biofilm is a predominant habitat for most microbes in aquatic ecosystems. The sample of biofilms used in this study was streamer biofilm collected from the river. The results show that the streamer biofilm had ability to adsorb Cr(VI). The adsorption of Cr(VI) are fitted well to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The maximum adsorbed amount of Cr(VI) is estimated to be around 8.33 mg/g and the adsorption equilibrium constant is around 0.02 L/mg. The results of the present study indicate that the streamer biofilm is a promising alternative biosorbent for the biosorption of water pollutant such as Cr(VI).

METHODS OF THE PATTERN FORMATION IN NUMERICAL MODELING OF BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
Authors: Filippov Alexander E. , Gorb Stanislav N.
Published: August 2019

Evolution of different systems can be described in terms of their relaxation to the minimums of some effective potential relief. This observation leads us to face us with a question how to generate corresponding potential patterns which describe adequately various physical and biological systems. In this review, we present a number of different ways of generating such potentials demanded by the problems of different kinds. For example, we reproduce such a generation in the framework of a simple theory of phase transitions, automatic blocking of the growing phase nucleation and universal large scale structure. Being frozen at late stages of their evolution they form majority of meta-stable structures which we observe in real world. Counting on above-mentioned universality of naturally-generated fractal structures and their further utilization in numerical simulations of biological problems, we reproduce also formal algorithms of generation of such structures based on random deposition technique and Fourier-transform approaches.

Published: August 2019

There are limitations in existing conflict management instruments used in China. Therefore, we translated the Dutch Test of Conflict Handling (DUTCH), and then examined the reliability and validity of this Chinese Revised version (DUTCH-CR). Participants were 2,035 college students
at 4 universities in China. We conducted exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis on data from questionnaires completed by the participants. Our findings show that the DUTCH-CR is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the handling of conflicts between Chinese college
students. Further, we found that 4 conflict-handling styles are more suitable for Chinese college students. This was achieved by merging the problem-solving and compromising factors into a collaborating one, and retaining the yielding, avoiding, and forcing factors of the original DUTCH instrument.
“Banzo” de Raimundo Correia: O sublime constatar da herança de um fracasso colonial
Authors: De Toledo Matheus Coelho
Published: August 2019

O artigo pensa os interesses da poesia brasileira do fim do século XIX, focando nas crises da escravatura e monarquia, heranças do período da empresa colonial ibérica. Toca em temas como ocidente e oriente, alteridade, representações da mulher e do negro e o modernizar da sociedade que reorganiza o trabalho. Através da investigação crítica em leituras de profundidades gradativamente maiores do soneto “Banzo”, de Raimundo Correia, e de outros desse e de seus contemporâneos, o artigo encontra heranças, permanências de um passado colonial, como a desvalorização da cidadania com relação à parcela negra da população, impedindo um Brasil liberal e democrático, que se desejava. Dessas heranças e do exílio negro adviria uma tristeza mortal que passa a se denominar “banzo”. Por fim, investigamos na poesia de língua portuguesa as origens de uma possível linhagem de uma poética do exílio advinda desde o inicio do era colonial, passando por diversos períodos e buscando traçar possíveis ligações com o soneto “Banzo”.
Experiência estética, produção partilhada do conhecimento e pós-humanismo: a arte mural em terra kaingang
Authors: Vicini Magda , Bairon Sergio
Published: August 2019

Resumo Este projeto de pesquisa visa realizar uma composição mural real e ou virtual como experiência estética coletiva com os índios Kaingang de Palmas (PR). A produção de conhecimento científico é colocada em questão no sentido de rever as formas pelas quais o mundo ocidental, branco e europeu, representou e representa o outro/Outro igual a mim e diferente de mim. Questiona-se a maneira pela qual a experiência estética (Dewey, 1980; Gadamer, 1999; Heidegger, 2000) pode influenciar o sentido e a produção de “representação” ou “apresentação” artística dessa etnia indígena no mural produzido pelos próprios Kaingang. A partir da metodologia de produção partilhada do conhecimento (Bairon, Lazaneo, 2012; Bairon, Batistella, Lazaneo, 2017; Lazaneo, 2012) os indígenas não se diferenciam como objetos de pesquisa, mas sim como sujeitos de pesquisa. Essa integração parte de uma concepção pós-humana de inclusivismo situado (Ferrando, 2013; Braidotti, 2013), em relação às mudanças simbólicas culturais, nas quais, o coletivo e o singular possam ser incluídos, sem perdas culturais.Palavras-chave: Mural. Experiência Estética. Produção partilhada do conhecimento. Pós-humanismo.AbstractThe aim of this project is to create a real and/or virtual mural composition as a collective aesthetic experience with the Kaingang indigenous group from Palmas (PR). The production of scientific knowledge is put into question in a sense of reviewing the forms in which the Western, white and European world represented and represents the other/Other equal to me and different than me. The form the aesthetic experience (Dewey, 1980; Gadamer, 1999; Heidegger, 2000) can influence the meaning and the production of artistic "representation" or "presentation" of the indigenous ethnicity on the mural made by the Kaingang themselves is examined. From the production methodology shared by knowledge (Bairon, Lazaneo, 2012; Bairon, Batistella, Lazaneo, 2017; Lazaneo, 2012), the indigenous people do not distinguish themselves as research objects, but as research subjects. Such integration is made under the post-human idea of situated inclusivism (Ferrando, 2013; Braidotti, 2013), related to the symbolic cultural changes in which the collective and individual dimensions can be combined without cultural losses.Key-words: Mural. Aesthetic Experience. Shared production of knowledge. Post-humanism.

The Feasibility of Applying Shakespearean Drama to Address Social Disorders in Sierra Leone
Authors: Thulla Philip Y. , Senesie Amuel M. , Muffuh Peter M. , Bull David
Published: August 2019

Like many other African countries, Sierra Leone has gone through tragic experiences, which tend to elevate the quest for peace above most other human concerns. Persons and Institutions that deal with human development are generally urged to target such issues as peace – building, conflict prevention, reconciliation, etc. It seems that the literary discipline bears remarkable potentialities to such effects. This is the concern of this paper. In order to maximize the possible benefit of literature, in this regard, the “best choice” of literary writers was adopted – William Shakespeare. The findings include but not limited to ‘that many of the social problems that can be addressed sociologically or legally, or morally can as accommodate literary address’ and ‘that Shakespeare’s play can be used to address social disorders in Sierra Leone.
Self-Regulated Learning for New Tertiary Students in the Bachelor of Psychology Degree Course
Authors: Hia Gianto Raymond , Wedyaswari Miryam , Saragih Sarah Aurelia
Published: August 2019

The transition from senior high-school to university is an important phase for new tertiary students to which they must adapt, particularly in academic matters. This study was conducted with new students (n = 95), commencing studies in 2017 at the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, West Java, to obtain a picture of their abilities in self-regulated learning. The Bachelor of Psychology course, which is a Science subject, involves a great deal of social science, and so requires a unique study strategy, to enable new students to adapt in the academic field. This study utilized the Motivation Strategy Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) measurement instrument scale, supplemented by a survey questionnaire regarding academic results. Some 70% of new tertiary students in the Bachelor of Psychology (BPsych) course organized their goals and regulated their motivation internally (internal goal motivation). The study strategy most used to regulate their cognition was elaboration, whilst there still tended to be a few who capitalized upon peer learning and critical thinking strategies in their learning processes (40%). The aspects of effort regulation and help seeking were found to be able somewhat to predict their Student Achievement Index (Indeks Prestasi Siswa–IPS). For this reason, the learning environment needs to be conditioned so that these two aspects are facilitated optimally.

La configuración de la dramaticidad en La lengua en pedazos de Juan Mayorga
Authors: Salvador Salvador Julio
Published: August 2019

Este artículo se centra en algunas características de La lengua en pedazos, de Juan Mayorga. La disposición de los materiales se basa en la intertextualidad respecto a la Vidade santa Teresa de Jesús y, en menor medida, de otros textos literarios y no literarios. El dramaturgo es consciente de que la disposición del texto puede crear mensajes auténticamente dialécticos. Esta forma de construir la obra puede plantear ciertas preguntas en torno a su dramaticidad, es decir, su naturaleza teatral, al plasmar un discurso narrativo en escena.
Procesos sociales prehispánicos y pericoloniales en torno a los ríos Salado y Dulce (Santiago del Estero, Argentina)
Authors: Taboada Constanza
Published: August 2019

Este trabajo busca sintetizar, integrar y problematizar la información arqueológica conocida para la zona de influencia de los ríos Salado y Dulce en sus recorridos por la llanura de Santiago del Estero (Argentina). Los principales temas que se abordan son el uso del espacio y del ambiente, los modos de instalación y vida, y los procesos sociales desarrollados a lo largo del período prehispánico y principios de la Colonia. A ello se suma el papel jugado por distintas estrategias socio políticas desplegadas, según las situaciones y épocas, entre poblaciones locales y grupos de chaco adentro, incas y españoles. Un aspecto particular sobre el que se hace foco es la proyección de una nueva mirada sobre las poblaciones alfareras de la región, que plantea un modo de vida en torno a posible movilidad residencial para algunas de ellas.
Río Uruguay. Una síntesis arqueológica
Authors: Castro Juan Carlos
Published: August 2019

La cuenca del río Uruguay se extiende a través de Brasil, Argentina y Uruguay y es una de las redes fluviales fundamentales para la ocupación humana del sudeste de Sudamérica. Desde sus nacientes hasta su desembocadura y desde el Pleistoceno final hasta la actualidad, este río presenta evidencias arqueológicas y etnohistóricas de ocupaciones indígenas. En este marco, este artículo constituye una síntesis regional de la historia de estas ocupaciones y del desarrollo de las investigaciones arqueológicas en los tres países mencionados. Primero, se expone el contexto ambiental y los estudios arqueológicos realizados. Posteriormente, se presentan los sitios arqueológicos y los artefactos más relevantes para la transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno, Holoceno temprano y Holoceno medio. Por último, se caracteriza el registro arqueológico Taquara-Itararé, Goya-Malabrigo y guaraní correspondiente al Holoceno tardío. La información presentada permite reconocer al río Uruguay y sus afluentes como el escenario de una compleja dinámica poblacional, caracterizada por la articulación de un gran número de poblaciones, cultural y lingüísticamente diversas, durante más de 12.000 años.
Río Salado: espacio de interacción de cazadores-recolectores-pescadores (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Authors: González María Isabel , Frère María Magdalena
Published: August 2019

El río Salado y sus lagunas asociadas fueron lugares recorridos, explotados ampliamente, ocupados y reocupados durante el Holoceno tardío. Este río de tierras bajas, constituyó un eje de tránsito natural que fue, y aún es, aprovechado como ruta para construir relaciones sociales locales y regionales. Nuestras investigaciones en la microrregión del río Salado se remontan a la década de 1980 y durante estos años pudimos ahondar en la vida cotidiana de los antiguos cazadores-recolectores-pescadores (C-R-P). Sabemos que fue en este ambiente fluvial donde se desarrollaron modos de hacer habituales de la vida en sociedad. Las investigaciones aquí presentadas incluyen el análisis de las secuencias de producción, uso y descarte de diferentes artefactos, así como, el estudio de la interrelación entre el ambiente, las personas, las materias primas, la tecnología y su distribución espacial y temporal. Con toda esta información pudimos reconocer diferentes redes de interacción social en este ambiente fluvial. Por tal motivo, aquí presentaremos y discutiremos los indicadores que nos permitieron definir vínculos locales y cercanos, propios de una red íntima/eficaz, y aquellas materialidades que indican la existencia de una red ampliada con lazos sociales y territoriales más distantes.
El extrañamiento, una clave antropo-metafísica de la filosofía madura de Ortega
Authors: Alonso Fernández Marcos
Published: August 2019

En este artículo trataremos de abordar el problema del extrañamiento en Ortega, una cuestión decisiva en su metafísica de la vida como realidad radical. A través del análisis de este concepto en la obra orteguiana veremos cómo su filosofía de madurez se aleja de otras propuestas como la heideggeriana, la cual será siempre para el español un referente polémico. Por último, expondremos algunas investigaciones biológicas y antropológicas de las últimas décadas que pueden servir de complemento a muchas de las ideas de Ortega sobre el problema del extrañamiento.
En torno a la desfiguratividad. Una fenomenología de la mirada pictórica

Published: August 2019

Este artículo supone una aproximación a la práctica de la pintura como medio privilegiado para suspender nuestra habitual reducción de lo visible al mundo predeterminado de las categorías y funcionalidades, potenciando la apertura de una mirada atenta al aparecerse mismo de las cosas. A partir de la correspondencia entre autor y espectador a través de una mirada formadora, buscamos reivindicar la experiencia estética (poética) del mundo para tomar consciencia de nuestra relación sensible con lo observado en su desnuda extrañeza, donde nuestro papel no es el de la dominación cognoscitiva, sino el de la participación y la diferencia.

Aim: To evaluate the feasibility
of vertical banded gastroplasty combined with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as an
operational gastro-gastric outlet technique with the potential to allow
appropriate management of whole biliary and upper gastrointestinal tract after
bariatric surgery without compromising weight loss. Methods: This study included 24
patients (mean age: 36.8 years, range 18 to 58 years, 62.5% female) who had undergone
vertical banded gastroplasty combined with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass between
2003 and 2016 in our clinic and had completed a 7-year postoperative follow up.
Data on operative characteristics, length of hospital stay and follow up data
on postoperative complications and weight loss were recorded for each patient. Results: Mean operative time was 180±45
minutes while length of hospital stay was 6.0±1.0 days. There was no mortality,
and only one patient (4.2%) was reoperated for hemorrhage on the first
postoperative day. The most common patient complaints were early nausea and vomiting
in 11 patients (45.83%), which disappeared in the second postoperative month,
while 7 patients (29.2%) had dysphagia in the early postoperative period. No
marginal ulcers or ulcers on anastomosis were found. Mean percentage of excess weight
loss values recorded at the end of the first, second, third, fifth and seventh
year following vertical banded gastroplasty combined with Roux-en-Y gastric
bypass were 68.1±13.8 71.3±8.8 70.8±14.6, 68.2±11.3 and 61.4±13.3,
respectively.

Conclusions:
Our findings indicate the feasibility of vertical banded gastroplasty combined
with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as a bariatric surgical procedure providing
better postoperative evaluation and management of the whole upper
gastrointestinal system through the stomach window created with the band along
with acceptable weight loss in selected patients.

Aim: To investigate the effects of bacterial vaginosis, which is the most frequent vaginal infection in women, and its treatment on sexual functions.Methods: Patients who had applied to our gynecology outpatient clinic with bacterial vaginosis based on the culture results were included in this observational questionnaire study. Patients with an accompanying disease possibly resulting in sexual dysfunction and those with vaginitis etiology other than bacterial vaginosis were excluded from the study. Patients were asked to fill the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) during the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and 1 month later than the treatment.Results: Seventy-two patients who had applied to our outpatient clinic between January 2018 and January 2019 and who met the study criteria were included in this study. Statistically significant improvement was found in post-treatment orgasm and pain scores and in total FSFI scores of the patients upon comparison of FSFI scores of patients before and after the treatment (p<0.001). However, no statistically significant differences were found in sexual desire, arousal, lubricity and general satisfaction scores before and after the treatment (p>0.05 for all). Conclusion: It was found that sexual dysfunction was more common in patients with bacterial vaginosis and improvement was seen in some sexual functions with treatment.

Therefore, adequate zinc intake is crucial to maternal and baby’s health. Food source of zinc are mainly protein rich foods. High intake of fiber may decrease zinc bioavailability as they usually contain phytate. Objective        :This study aimed to profile zinc, total protein, and fiber intake among lactating mother in Jakarta. Methods         :This was a cross sectional study conducted in Grogol Petamburan Public Health Center, West Jakarta and Cilincing Public Health Center, North Jakarta between February and April 2019. Consecutive sampling method was used to recruit 95 lactating mothers aged 20-35 who were nursing 1-6 months old babies. Basic characteristic data such as socioeconomic level and education level was collected during interview process. Semi questionnaire food frequency questionnaire was used to gain zinc intake data and 24 hours food recall was used to gain protein and fiber intake data. Results            :The prevalence of zinc deficiency in Jakarta was 76.8% although 56% had taken enough daily protein. 99% of the samples had low fiber intake. Around 47% of subjects have monthly income lower than regional minimum wage and 68% of the samples has middle level of education. Conclusion     :Zinc intake among maternal diet in Jakarta is below the recommendation although more than half of the samples had taken enough daily protein and very low fiber. The protein intake must furthermore be specialized into animal and vegetable protein to increase the accuracy of the data. A specialized education about the importance of zinc for maternal health and food sources of zinc must be conducted among lactating woman. The need of zinc supplementation might be considered.

Published: August 2019

Guru kontrak adalah karyawan non-asn yang diangkat oleh pemerintah daerah setempat guna melengkapi kebutuhan guru yang dinyatakan kurang di suatu sekolah. Selama ini pengadaan guru kontrak khususnya di Kabupaten Ketapang Kalimantan Barat masih dilaksanakan dengan sistem manual sehingga dirasa kurang efektif jika dilihat dari proses pelaksanaannya, yang mana mulai dari proses penyebaran informasi, proses pelamaran serta verifikasi berkas masih cukup menyulitkan berbegai pihak yang terlibat. Selain itu terdapat pula masalah yang kerap terjadi terkait guru kontrak yang mengajar namun tidak mentaati aturan, sehingga dirasa sulit dalam proses pengambilan tindakan. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, maka dibutuhkan suatu media atau sistem informasi yang dapat membantu dalam proses pengadaan guru kontrak dan pengawasan yang bersifat pelaporan dari sekolah untuk dinas pendidikan selaku penanggung jawab guru kontrak di Kabupaten Ketapang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membangun sebuah sistem informasi untuk penerimaan dan melakukan pengawasan terhadap guru kontrak yang ada di Kabupaten Ketapang berbasis web dengan bahasa pemrograman PHP dan database MySQL sebagai penyimpan data terkait pelamar, guru kontrak, sekolah, dinas pendidikan dan Pemerintahan Kabupaten Ketapang selaku penyelenggara proses penerimaan guru kontrak. Pengujian dilakukan dengan metode black box dan aspek funcional suitability yang dilakukan oleh 1 (satu) responden. Dari hasil pengujian black box menyatakan bahwa aplikasi sudah berjalan seperti yang diharapkan, dimana aplikasi mampu menampilkan keluaran yang sesuai dengan masukan pengguna. Dari hasil aspek functional suitability didapat nilai mendekati 1 (satu) yang berarti seluruh halaman yang dinyatakan baik oleh responden. Dengan hasil dari dua perhitungan tersebut dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa Sistem Informasi Penerimaan dan Pengawasan Guru Kontrak Kabupaten Ketapang yang dibangun dapat membantu dan mempermudah pengguna dalam proses penerimaan dan pengawasan guru kontak.

No caminho do medo ao crime...
Authors: Couceiro Luiz Alberto
Published: August 2019

Nosso objetivo neste artigo é articular as imagens que as autoridades policiais e políticas do Império do Brasil construíam acerca dos africanos que aqui aportavam e os perigos de possíveis insurreições escravas. Muitas vezes, tais autoridades e mesmo os senhores de escravos acreditaram que a presença de africanos entre os escravos tornava mais do que plausível a chance de se insurgirem. Para tanto, analisaremos documentos concernentes ao Sudeste cafeeiro das décadas de 1850,1860 e 1870.
Os nacionalismos nas ondas do rádio
Authors: Silva Antônio Carlos
Published: August 2019

Este artigo analisa a transmissão radiofônica, desde meados do século XIX até a metade do século XX. A proliferação de aparelhos de transmissão de rádio, assim como o de emissoras, logo fora percebida como importante instrumento de promoção de políticas, em diversas partes do globo. Se o rádio servia para o entretenimento, divulgando óperas, concertos, músicas regionais, também o seu potencial de propaganda política era estudado e rapidamente aplicado. A capacidade da transmissão radiofônica de ultrapassar fronteiras físicas, era vista como maneira de enfraquecer regimes adversários, mas também de integrar territórios considerados gigantescos, como o Brasil. A rádio era percebida como um poderoso instrumento de ação política.
