Como resultado, se destaca la realización de viajes al exterior en tanto puntos de inflexión en la orientación de sus recorridos formativos, sus líneas de investigación y sus inserciones institucionales. A partir de las entrevistas en profundidad realizadas se construyen tres figuras de viaje (militante, antropológico y cosmopolita) con el objeto de explicar las singularidades de estas experiencias, su impacto en cada una de las trayectorias y en el desarrollo y diversificación de esta área de conocimiento en Argentina.
Descolonizar a sexualidade: Teoria Queer of Colour e trânsitos para o Sul
Authors: Rea Caterina Alessandra , Amancio Izzie Madalena Santos
Published: October 2018

Resumo Este texto pretende analisar os desafios do trânsito da teoria queer nos contextos brasileiro e do chamado Sul global. Como pensar essa recepção sem repetir a oposição entre um Norte central e produtor, e um Sul periférico e receptor? Após apresentarmos um estado da arte relativo às produções brasileiras no campo da teoria queer, avançaremos a hipótese de que a Crítica Queer of Colour poderia facilitar esse trânsito. Considerando as questões de gênero e sexualidades enquanto inseparáveis da história pós/neocolonial do Ocidente (racismo, imigração, imperialismo), essa teoria constitui uma voz radical que se opõe ao conformismo de muitos grupos LGBT, na maioria dos países centrais.

Published: October 2018

Abstract Objective: to suggest a composite indicator that identifies the oral health condition of institutionalized elderly persons. Method: an observational and cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 315 elderly persons were investigated in long-stay care facilities for the elderly in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Such individuals underwent an epidemiological evaluation of their oral health conditions, based on the DMFT index, CPI and the PAL (periodontal attachment loss) index. Factor analysis was used to identify a relatively small number of common factors by principal component analysis. Results: five oral health variables were included in factor analysis, and using the Kaiser criterion, which considers the percentage of variance explained by the factors, a single factor which together explained 79.7% of the total variance of the variables included in the analysis model was selected. This factor was analyzed and interpreted according to the dimension to which it related, and was entitled the factor of Dental Functionality. Conclusion: this factor generated an objective indicator to characterize the oral health of the elderly in long-term care facilities for the elderly of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, and represents a parameter for studies of the oral health outcomes of this elderly population. It also revealed a change in the dental profile of this population with more teeth present in the mouth and a reduction in edentulism.

Authors: Bernardi Hélio Luiz Fernando , Motta Luciana Branco da
Published: October 2018

Abstract Objective: to develop an app for the investigation and prevention of osteoporosis for use by health professionals. Method: the development of the app was performed in six steps: definition of the target audience; survey of validated osteoporosis risk assessment tools in Brazil; programming of the app through the progressive web; selection of data for the preparation of sections of the evaluation form and clinical recommendations; automated auditing and evaluation of the app by health professionals. Results: three screens were prepared for the app. These were based on the data extracted using the Osteorisk, Sapori and Frax tools for sociodemographic data (age, gender, weight, height and ethnicity), health (use of glucocorticoids, hormone replacement therapy, arthritis rheumatoid arthritis, secondary osteoporosis, previous low impact fractures, parents with a history of hip fractures) and health related behaviors (physical activity, alcohol intake and smoking). The appl followed the design pattern and functionalities of the osteoporosis adviser tool (OPAD). Regarding guidelines relating to clinical recommendations, the guidelines on osteoporosis and fall prevention in the elderly of the Ministry of Health and the Brazilian Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, respectively, were taken as a basis. Conclusion: the app allows the early identification of patients presenting risk factors for osteoporosis and, based on these results, provides guidance on the preventive measures to be adopted, aiming at reducing complications resulting from fractures, hospitalizations, disabilities and deaths.
The link between cognitive state and general self-esteem among institutionalized elderly persons: can health condition serve as a mediating factor?
Authors: Imaginário Cristina , Rocha Magda , Machado Paulo Puga , Antunes Cristina , Martins Teresa
Published: October 2018

Abstract Objective: to assess whether the health condition of an elderly person can serve as a mediating factor between the cognitive state and general self-esteem of the institutionalized elderly. Method: a quantitative, cross-sectional correlational study was performed, based on the path analysis technique.The following instruments were used for data collection: the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment, the Mini Nutritional Evaluation and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results: the sample was composed of 312 elderly patients of both genders (112 men and 200 women), with an average age of 83.39 (+7.09) years. Most of the elderly persons were widowed, with a low educational level, and had been institutionalized in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly for on average 54.6 (+51.69) months. The mediating factor of health condition renders the link between the cognitive state and self-esteem of the elderly null. However, the analysis of the decomposition of the effects showed a significant indirect effect between the cognitive state and health condition. The total effect of cognitive state on the health condition of the elderly is significant, positive and direct. Conclusion: based on the results of this study we maintain that cognitive changes can affect the nutritional state and physical balance of the institutionalized elderly.

Authors: Rangel Neto Nildo Campos , Aguiar Adriana Cavalcanti de
Published: October 2018

Resumo O estudo investigou como os cursos de graduação em Fisioterapia contemplam o ensino da Atenção Primária à Saúde no contexto da expansão da Estratégia Saúde da Família, tomando como referência as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais dos Cursos de Graduação em Fisioterapia. Foram analisados dez dos 14 cursos de Fisioterapia reconhecidos pelo Ministério da Educação e em funcionamento na cidade do Rio de Janeiro por ocasião da pesquisa. Entrevistamos os dez coordenadores e analisamos documentos relativos ao currículo e ensino. Os dados indicam que dois cursos estavam alinhados com as Diretrizes Curriculares por oferecerem atividades e/ou disciplinas e estágio supervisionado em Atenção Primária, com redistribuiçãoda carga horária do curso, atividades de práticas assistidas e de extensão. Sete cursos haviam implementado modificações curriculares parciais, sem no entanto incorporarem outras recomendações das Diretrizes Curriculares, especialmente a inclusão de disciplinas ou módulos de Atenção Primária à Saúde, não oferecendo oportunidades de formação em unidades de Saúde da Família. Um curso não havia implementado as Diretrizes. Os coordenadores mencionaram dificuldades para desenvolvimento curricular participativo. Concluímos que se verificam avanços significativos na incorporação da Atenção Primária à Saúde nos currículos estudados e discutimos alguns obstáculos na implementação das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais.
Ombudsman do paciente: direitos nos cuidados em saúde
Authors: Albuquerque Aline
Published: October 2018

Resumo Este artigo analisa o papel do ombudsman do paciente na implementação de seus direitos, refletindo sobre sua aplicação no Brasil. Trata-se de pesquisa de cunho teórico sobre o tema e suas diferenças em relação aos direitos humanos dos pacientes. Conclui-se que o modelo proposto para o Brasil enfatiza a atuação de ombudsman local, notadamente no ambiente hospitalar, mas também defende a instituição de profissionais regionais, para lidar com pacientes da atenção primária. Contudo, propugna-se que o regional seja facultativo, em razão de o hospital ser o ambiente com mais adversidades. Ainda, destaca-se que a autorização do ombudsman seja dada por lei que estabeleça prerrogativas específicas, como sua autonomia e independência, qualificação apropriada e apuração célere de reclamação.
Quinhentos anos da Reforma Protestante: a cosmovisão cristã calvinista e a bioética
Authors: Rocha Luiz Roberto Martins
Published: October 2018

Resumo Passados quinhentos anos da chamada Reforma Protestante, é possível perceber ideias oriundas desse movimento fundamentando visões de mundo na atualidade. Especificamente, nota-se a aplicabilidade de cosmovisão derivada da Bíblia, centrada em sistema cristão de crença, em especial a vivenciada pelo reformador João Calvino. O objetivo deste trabalho é apontar o reflexo de seu pensamento, a partir de elementos históricos e teológicos, na ampliação da capacidade de interpretar o atual contexto da bioética. Por se caracterizar como construção intelectual ainda pouco conhecida, a cosmovisão cristã calviniana, aqui estudada, necessita ser mais bem compreendida e trabalhada. Mesmo com as evidentes diferenças culturais, históricas, econômicas, políticas e sociais entre o contexto do século XVI e o atual, essa cosmovisão pode contribuir para o avanço de estudos e debates da atualidade no campo da bioética.
Integridade científica e direitos autorais nos códigos de ética profissional
Authors: Novaes Maria Rita Carvalho Garbi , Rodrigues Camila Serra , Guilhem Dirce Bellezi
Published: October 2018

Resumo Integridade científica pressupõe respeito aos princípios éticos e legais para elaboração, condução e publicação de pesquisas. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a observância da regulamentação brasileira e internacional sobre integridade científica e direitos autorais descrita nos códigos de ética profissional. Trata-se de pesquisa documental e descritiva, na qual foram selecionados e analisados 11 códigos de ética de profissões regulamentadas na área de ciências da saúde e humanas. Os resultados demonstram que os códigos de ética profissional com mais descritores citados foram os que melhor contemplaram normas nacionais e internacionais sobre ética em pesquisa. Não houve, contudo, nenhum código que abrangesse adequadamente todas as normas brasileiras e internacionais utilizadas como referência para análise. Concluiu-se que esses documentos deveriam ser reformulados com o objetivo de empoderar os profissionais e pesquisadores de diferentes áreas do conhecimento para atuar de forma a respeitar a integridade científica e os direitos autorais.

Resumo Este artigo descreve como o aplicativo WhatsApp é utilizado na relação entre pacientes e médicos do ambulatório de pediatria e obstetrícia da Fundação Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará, Brasil, e discute suas implicações éticas. Dados foram levantados em pesquisa de campo qualitativa por meio de questionário semiestruturado aplicado a oito médicos. Como resultado, observou-se que entre as situações de uso preferencial do WhatsApp citadas pelos respondentes está o esclarecimento de dúvidas (62,5%). Entre as desvantagens mencionadas pelos participantes está a banalização do uso desse tipo de serviço por parte dos pacientes (37,5%), e 62,5% acham que a utilização do aplicativo seja ética. Conclui-se que faltam pesquisas sobre o assunto e regulamentação do uso do aplicativo na área da saúde.
Diretivas antecipadas de vontade em geriatria
Authors: Gomes Bruna Mota Machado , Salomão Lorena Araújo , Simões Aratti Cândido , Rebouças Bárbara Otoni , Dadalto Luciana , Barbosa Maira Tonidandel
Published: October 2018

Resumo Diretivas antecipadas de vontade representam as decisões sobre cuidados e tratamentos que um paciente deseja receber se incapacitado de expressar sua vontade. Foi avaliado o entendimento de acompanhantes de idosos (n=66) em ambulatório geriátrico, professores (n=60) e alunos de medicina (n=72) quanto a essas diretivas, a intenção de fazer o documento e as condutas durante essa situação. Os resultados mostram que somente 20% dos participantes sabem ou ao menos têm ideia do que sejam essas diretivas. A maioria dos pacientes em estado terminal (72%) prefere falecer em casa, recebendo cuidados paliativos; 32% preferem o hospital; e 45% aceitam ser levados à terapia intensiva. Poucos optam por essa manifestação de vontade, mesmo após explicações. Mais da metade (56%) confia que equipes médicas respeitarão suas decisões, e 83% confiam em familiares. Conclui-se que o assunto deve ser mais discutido na sociedade, principalmente nas áreas de ensino e assistência à saúde.
Canine transposition as an alternative to trauma of the maxillary incisors: case report
Authors: Lara María Salcedo , Rodríguez Rocío Briones , Perea María Biedma , Mendoza Beatriz Solano
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: The present article aims at reporting the clinical case of a patient who suffered trauma at two years of age, causing almost complete apical displacement of the deciduous maxillary left central incisor and of the permanent incisor. Methods: Ectopia secondary to intrusion was minimized by surgical removal of the ectopic tooth, and the left permanent canine was submitted to orthodontic traction to replace the extracted tooth. Results: The treatment period lasted 36 months, resulting in correct occlusion and a good aesthetic outcome. Conclusions: Dental transposition carried out by means of orthopedic traction is a good alternative in cases of a very unfavorable ectopic tooth position.
Evidence in Orthodontics related to qualitative research
Authors: Almeida Anderson Barbosa de , Leite Isabel Cristina Gonçalves , Silva Girlene Alves da
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: Research in Orthodontics has historically followed the positivist model based on the direct relationship of cause and effect between diseases and their specific etiological factors. Despite the objectivity and the great potential of statistical procedures, quantitative methods have progressively been sharing space with other models that can encompass the multiplicity of factors that affect the health-disease process, which until such time was reduced to its biological dimension. Objectives: This study aims, through an integrative review, to identify orthodontics articles published over a 10-year period that have used, exclusively or not, some method of qualitative research, and analyze the main aspects of their content. Methods: A survey was performed on Pubmed, Medline, Scopus, and Lilacs databases from 2007 to 2016 with a focus on the applicability of the qualitative methodology in orthodontic research. Results: The 27 articles selected showed a trend to increase in publications, with the most recent four years concentrating almost 60% of them. Most studies were from Europe, particularly the UK, and the more frequent study objectives were related to the perception of people about the reasons for orthodontic treatment, about the aesthetic and psychosocial impact of malocclusion or orthodontic treatment, and the implications of these factors for their quality of life. Conclusions: Because of its potential to explore behaviours and socio-cultural attitudes sustained in subjectivity, qualitative research offers new possibilities for orthodontic studies and can be used in an exclusive or complementary way in relation to quantitative methods.
Anaconda-becoming: Huni Kuin image-songs, an Amerindian relational aesthetics
Authors: Lagrou Els
Published: October 2018

Abstract After depicting the contemporary scene of Huni Kuin ayahuasca shamanism and artistic agency, I analyze a selection of image-songs from this ritual. The songs unveil the workings of embodied perception and synesthesia, that is, the transductions of bodily sensations and perceptions in vision, rhythm, song and sound. The experience entails a process of other-becoming where to know means to see through the eyes of Other; to be covered with the skin/ornaments of those beings one has consumed and to sing through their voice. This other-becoming is a becoming in a deleuzian sense, which means that the lived experience is situated in-between the space of self and other. In this context the expression “you are what you eat” has specific implications for one’s health and for the acquisition of agentive and perceptive capabilities of other beings. The ritual technique of almost becoming consists of alternatingly producing and undoing temporary transformations through song.
Técnicas de estragar os outros: sobre a ética xamânica na fronteira Brasil-Guiana
Authors: Oliveira Alessandro Roberto de
Published: October 2018

Resumo Este artigo apresenta uma análise etnográfica sobre xamanismo no contexto pluriétnico do maciço guianense ocidental. Aborda particularmente sua modalidade agressiva que é definida regionalmente como ataque kanaimé. O universo sociocultural que caracteriza esse tipo de ação xamânica apresenta elementos de uma cosmo-ontologia que desafia a racionalidade ocidental, configurando modos de relação entre pessoas e plantas que colocam em jogo saberes específicos e práticas rituais. As reconfigurações contemporâneas dessas práticas xamânicas indicam o caráter aberto, a força e a heterogeneidade desse modo de conhecimento. A partir dos diferentes papéis exercidos por esses especialistas, o objetivo é trazer as reflexões indígenas sobre a ética do xamã na produção de malefícios e curas. O argumento é que esse universo xamânico leva a noção de fronteira ao plano da comunicação interespecífica, reverberando interrogações sobre o estatuto do humano.
Uma bebida, muitas visões: apontamentos sociológicos sobre a II Conferência Mundial da Ayahuasca
Authors: Assis Glauber Loures , Rodrigues Jacqueline Alves
Published: October 2018

Resumo Procuramos, neste artigo, trazer alguns apontamentos sobre elementos que permeiam as redes neoxamânicas contemporâneas, tais como: trânsito e deslocamento de pessoas e artefatos, tradição e autenticidade, patrimônio, tecnologias xamânicas, peregrinação e turismo religioso, intercâmbio e alianças entre grupos diversos, bem como o estabelecimento de relações de “mercado”, disputas e conflitos inter-religiosos. Para tanto, elencamos como estudo de caso a II Conferência Mundial da Ayahuasca, que congregou um número sem precedentes de pessoas e grupos envolvidos com a temática da ayahuasca, como antropólogos, povos indígenas, ONGs e religiões. Pretendemos mostrar que as redes neoxamânicas contemporâneas também se constituem em meio a relações de poder, interesses conflitantes e uma multiplicidade de posicionamentos diferentes sobre cultura e religião, e que existe um verdadeiro campo ayahuasqueiro brasileiro e muitas visões distintas a respeito da ayahuasca, onde estão em jogo elementos como prestígio, legitimidade social, identidade e patrimônio.
Medicinas da floresta: conexões e conflitos cosmo-ontológicos
Authors: Meneses Guilherme Pinho
Published: October 2018

Resumo Neste trabalho proponho descrever aspectos de um recente movimento em torno das chamadas “medicinas da floresta”, principalmente o nixi pae (ayahuasca) dos Huni Kuĩ (Kaxinawá). A proposta inclui o acompanhamento de trânsitos contínuos entre a “floresta” e a “cidade” do próprio nixi pae, dos chamados pajés e de grupos ayahuasqueiros emergentes, evidenciando conexões e conflitos ontológicos. Uma contribuição possível deste trabalho é alimentar reflexões no campo ayahuasqueiro a partir de uma proposição cosmopolítica (Stengers, 2007), que buscará tomar o nixi pae como uma tecnologia de conectividade. Assim, espera-se desdobrar a semântica de termos como cura e medicina por meio da pragmática dos coletivos (de pajés, substâncias, espíritos) em ação: que efeitos estes geram quando agem em rede, o que movimentam, o que fortalecem, o que é deixado para trás. O nixi pae aparecerá então como peça-chave na ativação de coletivos ontologicamente heterogêneos, abrindo possibilidades para encontros com a alteridade em tentativas de composição de espaços de coexistência.
O xamanismo kaingang como potência decolonizadora
Authors: Maréchal Clémentine Ismérie , Hermann Herbert Walter
Published: October 2018

Resumo Este trabalho propõe, através de exemplos etnográficos, entender o xamanismo kaingang como expressão cosmopolítica nos processos históricos coloniais. As etnografias produzidas junto aos Kaingang apresentam evidências similares sobre o profundo caráter “político” da práxis xamânica kaingang. Analisando criticamente o conceito de xamanismo ressaltamos os termos e os acontecimentos entre os Kaingang para falar sobre seus saberes e conhecimentos, abordamos aqui os vẽnh péti (sonhos) entre os kujà (“xamã”) como um possível impulso decolonial. Além dos casos etnográficos e das pesquisas publicadas percorremos relatos míticos de uma kujà sobre o nascimento do xamanismo kaingang e as ações da comunidade kaingang para salvar a humanidade da escuridão, restituindo de maneira precisa e situada tanto o protagonismo feminino quanto o desejo dos Kaingang na existência de um futuro compartilhado em ga.

Published: October 2018

SUMMARY This study agronomically evaluated 14 sorghum genotypes in the Brazilian semi-arid region. A randomized complete block design, with the treatments represented by sorghum genotypes and three replicates, was used. The dry matter (DM), plant height (PH), number of live leaves, fresh matter production (FMP), dry matter production (DMP), leaf blade (LB), stem, panicle (PAN), dead material, water accumulation (WA), efficiency of rainwater use (ERU) and carrying capacity (SC) were measured. There was an effect of genotype among all the variables. The genotype with the highest percentage of DM was BRS 655 (26.42%). The genotypes BRS 655, BRS 506, B1141340, 13F04 (1141572) and PONTA NEGRA produced the most FMP, with values of 48,517, 48,500, 44,879, 44,788 and 43,549 kg/ha, respectively. Not only did the genotypes BRS 655, B1141340, 13F04 (1141572), BRS 506 and PONTA NEGRA present the highest DMP, with values of 12,426, 10,344, 9,778, 9,756 and 9,176 kg/ha, respectively, but also the highest values for ERU, WA and SC. There was a significant positive correlation between productive variables (FMP with DMP, PH, ERU and WA) and a nonsignificant negative correlation between morphometric variables (FMP with LB and PAN). A hierarchical formation of four groups was observed, with groups I and III composed of the most productive genotypes. BRS 655 can be recommended for cultivation since this genotype has desirable agronomic characteristics.

SUMMARY This study evaluated the characteristics of carcass and commercial cuts of Santa Ines lambs of different biotypes (traditional and modern) slaughtered at 32 kg and 34 kg. The thirty-six Santa Ines sheep used, of which 18 traditional and 18 modern biotypes were on average 180 days old and weighed 16 kg initially. The animals were kept in individual stalls (0.80 × 1.20 m) until they reached the slaughtering weight. The experimental design was completely randomized, factorial 2×2 (two biotypes x two slaughtering weights). The traditional biotype influenced significantly (P<0.05) the carcass yields, conformation, and marbling, compared to the modern biotype. The biotype did not influence (P> 0.05) carcass morphometric measurements and commercial cuts. On the other hand, the 34-kg slaughtering weight affected most of carcass characteristics. The traditional biotype displayed higher yield, better conformation and greater amount of intramuscular fat in the carcass. The higher slaughtering weight influenced carcass characteristics and the amount of fat. Generally, the carcasses presented high muscle proportion and fat amount appropriate to the consumer.
Application of Monte Carlo Method for Gamma ray Attenuation Properties of Lead Zinc Borate Glasses
Authors: Akar Tarım Urkiye , Gürler Orhan
Published: October 2018

This
work aims to introduce an useful computational model, based in Monte Carlo
simulation, which can be used in practical application, and this paper presents
values determined using a Monte Carlo algorithm for linear attenuation
coefficient of lead zinc borate glasses with different percentages of PbO. The
simulation results have been verified with predictions from the XCOM program in
the studied energy region from 1 keV to 2000 keV and experimental results.
Thus, this verification indicated that this research method can be followed to
determine the interaction and attenuation of gamma rays with the several
energies in different materials. Also, the values of mean free path and the
half-value layer were calculated using the values of the linear attenuation
coefficient. The dependence of these radiation shielding parameters on the
energy of impinging gamma ray and the ratio of substances changes has been
examined.
The Effect of Common Ownership on Profits: Evidence From the U.S. Banking Industry
Authors: Gramlich Jacob , Grundl Serafin
Published: October 2018

Theory predicts that "common ownership" (ownership of rivals by a common shareholder) can be anticompetitive because it reduces the weight firms place on their own profits and shifts weight toward rival firms held by common shareholders. In this paper we use accounting data from the banking industry to examine empirically whether shifts in the profit weights are associated with shifts in profits. We present the distribution of a wide range of estimates that vary the specification, sample restrictions, and assumptions used to calculate the profit weights. The distribution of estimates is roughly centered around zero, but we find statistically significant estimates in either direction in some cases. Economically, most estimates are fairly small. Our interpretation of these findings is that there is little evidence for economically important effects of common ownership on profits in the banking industry.

Detección de plantas asintomáticas de Solanum lycopersicum L. infectadas con Fusarium oxysporum usando espectroscopia de reflectancia VIS
Authors: Marín-Ortiz Juan Carlos , Hoyos-Carvajal Lilliana María , Botero Fernandez Veronica
Published: October 2018

Las plantas asintomáticas son reservorios de patógenos, ya que pueden permanecer infectadas la mayor parte de su ciclo de desarrollo, convirtiéndose en fuente de contaminación para el resto del cultivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar un método de detección y discriminación de dos cepas de Fusarium oxysporum en tomate usando espectroscopia. La enfermedad en las plantas de tomate inoculadas con la cepa aislada de gulupa (F05) fue mayor a la observada en la cepa aislada de tomate (F07), presentando valores de 60,0% (11 días) y 81,8% (22 días); la cepa F07 presentó incidencias de 30,0 y 64,3% en ambas mediciones. La planta infectada con la cepa F05 fue mejor discriminada en el periodo de incubación de la enfermedad en ambos periodos de tiempo en los Análisis de Componentes Principales (PCA) y Análisis Discriminantes Lineales (LDA) realizados con los controles en comparación con la cepa F07. Estos resultados sugieren que la espectroscopia de reflectancia VIS es un método sensible y confiable que puede ser adecuado para el diagnóstico temprano de enfermedades en plantas.

Authors: Salazar Manuel , Callejas Rodrigo , Morales Salinas Luis
Published: October 2018

En Chile, una parte importante de la producción de uva de mesa se produce en el Desierto de Atacama, caracterizándose por un ambiente de altas temperaturas, alta radiación solar y velocidad del viento. Con el objetivo de aminorar los efectos indeseados sobre las plantas y su rendimiento, se evaluó en Vitis vinifera L., uva de mesa ‘Thompson Seedless’, el uso de un sistema de cobertura total conformado por una malla plástica de color blanco y de 80% de porosidad, como protección de las plantas a los efectos del viento y la radiación solar en el Valle del Huasco, Chile. Se evaluaron dos tratamientos, (a) testigo en condiciones naturales y totalmente expuestas y (b) plantas bajo el sistema de cobertura (malla), con 10 repeticiones mediante un diseño completamente aleatorizado. Se evaluaron el crecimiento vegetativo, variables fisiológicas, productivas, así como también la temperatura, humedad relativa, velocidad del viento y radiación solar. El sistema de cobertura redujo la velocidad de viento entre 35 y 55% y la radiación incidente en un 14%. Las condiciones de temperatura y humedad relativa no se alteraron. Los cambios ambientales producidos generan cambios en las plantas protegidas bajo el sistema de cobertura en relación a las plantas expuestas, principalmente en el tamaño de las hojas y porcentaje de brotación, sin embargo, no se detectó efecto sobre los rendimientos y calidad de la fruta.

The use of agrochemicals is harmful to bees visiting agricultural crops, reducing production gains from pollination, but the effect of fungicides on these bees is not known. The objective of this study was to verify the effect of bee visitation influenced by different fungicides on the tomato crop and on the deposition of pollen grains on the stigma, number of seeds, mass and fruit size. The experiment was conducted with 10 treatments: (T1) control treatment, without application of agrochemicals; (T2 and T3) Bacillus subtilis in different application frequencies; (T4) copper hydroxide; (T5) B. subtilis and copper hydroxide; (T6) acibenzolar-S-methyl; (T7) (trifloxystrobin+tebuconazole) and B. subtilis; (T8) copper hydroxide+Mancozeb; (T9) propineb+(trifloxystrobin+ tebuconazole); (T10) (trifloxystrobin+tebuconazole)+B. subtilis+copper hydroxide. The presence of the pollination mark on the flower, the pollen load of the stigmas, the number of seeds per fruit, and the size and mass of the fruits were determined in each treatment. Subsequently, the mortality rate of Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera, Apidae) exposed to four fungicides (trifloxystrobin+tebuconazole; manganese and zinc; copper hydroxide; Bacillus subtilis) was estimated. The mortality rate of M. quadrifasciata over 24 h of evaluation was higher in the treatments with copper hydroxide and trifloxystrobin+tebuconazole (75 and 50%, respectively). The mortality rate was lower in the treatments with manganese and zinc and Bacillus subtilis and in the control treatment. The treatments with trifloxystrobin+tebuconazole reduced the presence of bite marks on the flowers and of pollen grains on the flower stigma. The fruits of the control treatments and treatments with B. subtilis and copper hydroxide were larger and had greater mass, as compared to other agrochemicals. Thus, a higher number of pesticide applications on the tomatoes reduced bee visitation rates to the flowers and, consequently, reduced the amount of pollen grains deposited on the stigmas, also reducing the fruit production.

Plant viruses may pose a threat to crops in Colombia. To evaluate the potential risk of yield losses due to plant virus infection, a literature analysis followed by a first field study was carried out focusing on purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims), cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.), and ornamental rose (Rosa sp.), which are important Colombian exports. Over the past three years, plant material was collected from 21 farms in Cundinamarca and Boyacá, Colombia, two regions that are in close proximity to El Dorado International Airport, the country’s largest air freight terminal. Plants were visually inspected and subsequently tested by bioassay and serological methods. Overall, in the samples investigated by the two diagnostic methods, plant viruses were detected. Detected viruses belong to the genus Poty-, Tobamo-, Nepo-, Ilar-, and Tospovirus. The extent of the distribution and occurrence of these viruses in each crop has to be determined in a representative field study. Such a monitoring program could be supported by a standardized farmer interview. The development of suitable plant virus diagnostic and managements tools is the focus of a cooperation project between German and Colombian universities, the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), the Colombian Corporation of Agricultural Investigation (AGROSAVIA) and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT).

Published: October 2018

This research evaluated the growth, yield and quality of gypsophila New Amore® variety grown in gutters filled with substrate in a system with leaching recirculation in southern Brazil. The treatments were the result of the combination of four substrates [carbonized rice husk (CRH100%), raw rice husk (RRH100%), CRH + organic commercial substrate S10 (Beifort®) (15%) and RRH+S10 (15%)] with two pruning times (early and late). The substrates did not affect the dry matter partitioning between the flowers and vegetative organs or the balance between the shoot and root growth. However, RRH100% reduced the shoot growth, flower stem yield and quality. The CRH100% and RRH+S10 substrates can be indicated for gypsophila cultivation once, in a general way, they presented promising results. The late pruning increased the gypsophila growth and yield and benefited the quality of the stems. The gypsophila plants adapted well to the employed crop system.

Информальное образование: результаты качественного исследования
Authors: Селиверстова Нина Анатольевна
Published: October 2018

В статье проводится анализ эмпирического исследования, посвященного проблемам информального образования посредством чтения. Субъект информального образования решает вопрос об организации своей повседневной жизни, включая досуг. В связи с этим возникает ряд исследовательских вопросов о его потребностях в знаниях, образовательном потенциале, селекции знаний и пр.

Эксперимент был проведен в начале 2018 г. с участием восьми добровольцев. Они читали роман Г. Яхиной «Зулейха открывает глаза» (2015) и заполняли дневник читателя. Далее с ними было проведено полустандартизированное интервью.

Выявлено, что отбор знаний в процессе чтения происходит по универсальным критериям для системы образования: интерес к знанию и оценка его «полезности». Однако интерес как критерий селекции знаний доминирует по отношению к оценке «полезности» знания. Выделено несколько стратегий чтения. Отдельно рассматривается проблема доверия к знаниям, полученным в повседневной жизни. Подтвердилось, что степень доверия к знаниям, содержащимся в литературно-художественном издании, высокая.

Оценка методов исследования сводится к тому, что дневник читателя не может быть использован как самостоятельный метод. Познавательные возможности данного метода исследования ограничены в первую очередь отсутствием обратной связи. Дневник дает возможность фиксации новых знаний, впечатлений с позиций субъекта, что необходимо, но недостаточно. Обратную связь обеспечивает полустандартизированное интервью, которое позволяет уточнить конкретные записи в дневнике, обеспечить интерпретацию полученных результатов.
Социокультурные детерминанты этнонациональной политики (на примере Новосибирска)
Authors: Персидская Ольга Алексеевна
Published: October 2018

В статье анализируется межэтническая ситуация и состояние межэтнических отношений в городе Новосибирске. Население города представляется как межэтническое сообщество — целостный социокультурный объект, элементы которого (этнические группы) одновременно интегрированы в сообщество, но сохраняют свою этнокультурную отличительность. Целью статьи является выделение комплекса социокультурных детерминант — значимых для сообщества факторов этносоциальной жизни, которые задают направление развития межэтнического сообщества. Отмечено, что, так как эти детерминанты оказывают значимое влияние на гармоничность межэтнических отношений в пространстве города, их выявление и анализ имеют особое значение для этнонациональной политики муниципального уровня.

Проанализированы результаты экспертного опроса, проведенного в Новосибирске в 2016–2017 гг. К социокультурным детерминантам отнесены, во-первых, сложности социально-экономического плана, которые формируют чувство незащищенности у принимающего сообщества и снижают уровень его толерантности к иноэтничным мигрантам. Во-вторых, анклавизационный процесс, который исключает места компактного расселения мигрантов из системы социально-культурного обмена. В-третьих, в качестве детерминанты, ставшей причиной ряда проблем в области межэтнических отношений, рассмотрена ограниченная эффективность мер, принимаемых административными структурами города для налаживания коммуникации между принимающим населением и диаспорами.

Проведенный анализ позволил заключить, что для гармонизации межэтнических отношений в городе следует повышать общий уровень благосостояния населения, наблюдать за изменениями в этнотерриторальной структуре города и искать принципиально новые механизмы коммуникации принимающего населения и мигрантов. Акцентировано, что для повышения своей эффективности муниципальная этнонациональная политика должна рассматривать в качестве объекта межэтническое сообщество в целом и учитывать широкий комплекс социокультурных детерминант, влияющих на его развитие.

Социальное в социологии и в социальной философии сегодня
Authors: Федотова Валентина Гавриловна
Published: October 2018

Сегодня вопрос о парадигме социальных наук сталкивается с двумя трудностями. Одна из них состоит в избрании масштаба исследования (идет ли речь о дисциплине, теоретическом построении известного ученого определенной специальности, обсуждается ли способ решения некоторой задачи или речь идет о социальных науках в целом). Вторая проблема касается перспективы многопарадигмальности, господствующей сегодня в социальных науках.

В данной статье поставлен актуальный вопрос о проблематизации социального в социологии и социальной философии. Это назревший вопрос, поскольку и в социологии, и в социальной философии происходят значительные изменения и пересмотр многих прежних позиций. Автор обращается к дисциплинарной структуре социального знания, показывая новые взаимоотношения социологии и социальной философии. Выдвигается на передний план вопрос о том, чем социальная философия сегодня отличается от рассмотрения идей философии, обращенной к обществу прежде, и от своего марксистского предшественника — исторического материализма.

Существенной проблемой, рассмотренной в статье, являются причины изменения состояния социальной философии, расширившей горизонты своих исследований и повлиявшей тем самым на научный статус социологии. В данной статье осуществляется сравнение позиций Ж. Бодрийяра, Б. Латура, Э. Дюркгейма, Р. Мертона и других социологов, которое показывает их вклад в сближение с социальной философией и одновременно влияние последней на социологию. Процессуальный характер социальности и социального, примененный Б. Латуром, сегодня затронул исследовательские программы наук об обществе, делая культур-центристские подходы более значимыми, чем натуралистические, в исследованиях социологии и социальной философии.

В данной статье обсуждаются три этапа формирования современности (первый, второй и третий модерны) и их отражение в философском и социологическом знании, а также понимание социальной философии как ответа на вопрос об объективности социального и социальности в философских исследованиях.

Published: October 2018

NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the complexation of organic ligands, that are of interest for biology and medicine, with ions of biologically significant metals (Li+, Na+, Ca2 +, Ga3+). The possibilities and advantages of NMR spectroscopy methods in the study of complex formation are shown. A high sensitivity of the NMR signal to the formation of a complex even with a very small natural concentration of the magnetic isotopes is detected. The formation of a complex with a low stability constanthas has been found by 43Ca NMR spectroscopy. The equilibrium constants of the complexes and the parameters of their NMR spectra are obtained. The possibility of using the 31P and 13C NMR method for initial testing of the complexation of cyclene derivatives with the cation Ga3+ in D2O is shown.

Published: October 2018

In clinical practice, a large number of prodrugs and active drugs containing an ester, carbamate or amide moiety are used. Carboxylesterase (CaE, EC 3.1.1.1) is the key enzyme of hydrolytic metabolism of such drugs in the body, it largely determines their pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, efficacy and possible toxic effects. Using CaE selective inhibitors as components of combined drug therapy it is possible us to regulate the rate of hydrolytic transformation of ester-containing drugs and opens the possibility of their rational use. The development of effective and selective CaE inhibitors suitable for in vivo application is a new promising approach in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology that allows to improve the efficacy, bioavailability and reduce the side effects of ester-containing drugs.

Published: October 2018

The conjugates of tacrine and its cyclopentyl analogue with 5-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenylamino)-1,2,4-thiadiazole, combined with two different spacers, pentylaminopropane and pentylaminopropene, were synthesized. Their esterase profile, the ability to displace propidium from the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and antioxidant activity in the ABTS test were investigated. The compounds obtained effectively inhibit cholinesterases with a predominant effect on butyrylcholinesterase, displace propidium from the PAS of Electrophorus electricus AChE (EeAChE) and exhibit a high radical-scavenging capacity. It is shown that, depending on the spacer structure, particulary, the presence of a propenamine or propanamine fragment, the spectrum of biological activity of the conjugates changes.
