Corpus eletrônico de documentos históricos do sertão: as cartas de inábeis
Authors: Lacerda Mariana Fagundes de Oliveira , Carneiro Zenaide De Oliveira Novais , Santiago Huda Da Silva
Published: May 2017

O projeto CE-DOHS – Corpus Eletrônico de Documentos Históricos do Sertão, que integra o Núcleo de Estudos Interdisciplinares em Humanidades Digitais (neiHD), da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS), tem por objetivo realizar a edição digital de textos do Banco DOHS – Documentos Históricos do Sertão, do projeto Vozes do Sertão em Dados: história, povos e formação do português brasileiro, um dos projetos do Núcleo de Estudos em Língua Portuguesa (NELP), da UEFS, bem como sua anotação morfológica e sintática, elaborando um corpus diacrônico anotado que sirva como recurso eletrônico para o estudo linguístico do português brasileiro. A maior parte dos documentos do DOHS, datados e localizados – que hoje se encontram também em versão digital no CE-DOHS – são cartas manuscritas, dos séculos XIX e XX (1084 cartas, 422 remetentes), editadas sobretudo por Carneiro (2005), que investiu na busca e na organização de acervos documentais que pudessem contribuir para o processo de reconstrução sócio-histórica do português brasileiro, tanto da vertente popular como da vertente culta – especialmente do português no interior da Bahia. Além dos acervos constituídos por documentação epistolar, há também livros manuscritos, além de textos impressos e textos orais. O material disponível no Banco atende, entretanto, não somente a pesquisadores interessados em análises de aspectos linguísticos, mas em aspectos da difusão da escrita, da leitura, das transmissões textuais, históricos, políticos, econômico-sociais, entre outros. Neste trabalho, a ênfase é para o acervo Cartas em Sisal, constituído por 91 cartas de inábeis, editadas por Santiago (2012), disponíveis no CE-DOHS, nas versões semidiplomática e modernizada; são cartas pessoais, escritas ao longo do século XX, por 43 sertanejos oriundos do semiárido baiano. Esse acervo tem especial relevância para a Linguística Histórica, por ser uma amostra representativa da escrita por mãos inábeis – termo consagrado pela tradição paleográfica –, considerando-se a dificuldade de encontrar textos que refletem a escrita cotidiana, vernacular, produtos de indivíduos com baixo nível de letramento.
O VALOR CULTURAL DA LEITURA NA REGIÃO DE COLONIZA-ÇÃO ITALIANA DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL
Authors: Agnol Samira Dall
Published: May 2017

Breve exposição considerando algumas relações existentes entre as práticas de leitura e as condições socioeconômicas e culturais da Região de Colonização Italiana do Rio Grande do Sul (RCI-RS). A leitura nessa região – como em grande parte do país – ainda não é uma prática valorada pela so-ciedade de um modo geral, dificultando, dessa forma, sua caracterização como uma prática cultural. Mesmo que a leitura seja entendida como uma atividade importante e necessária, ela é realizada pelo prazer de ler e por ini-ciativa própria apenas em raras exceções, pois ainda carrega a idéia de ativi-dade exclusivamente escolar. Tendo traçado o quadro, é válido perceber e congratular todos os esforços que vêm sendo realizados, tanto por institui-ções de ensino e por professores em caráter singular quanto por órgãos pú-blicos e pela mídia, na tentativa de transformar a leitura em uma das práticas culturais característica da RCI-RS.
A PRODUÇÃO SOCIAL DA IDENTIDADE NO DISCURSO PUBLICI-TÁRIO DA CULINÁRIA PARAIBANA
Authors: Baracuhy Maria Regina , Godoi Edliede De Souza
Published: May 2017

Considerando que a Análise do Discurso francesa compreende o su-jeito como um ser social, constitutivamente disperso, heterogêneo, que pode ocupar diferentes posições sociais, relacionadas a determinadas formações discursivas (FDs) e ideológicas (FIs), este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir como vêm sendo construídos alguns processos identitários do homem pa-raibano no discurso culinário que circula em nossa sociedade. Para isso, nos-so estudo levará em conta a noção de identidade intrinsecamente ligada à noção de sujeito, isto é, as identidades se constituem em diferentes momen-tos e lugares, conforme os vários papéis sociais que estamos exercendo. As-sim como o sujeito, a identidade também é heterogênea e se insere dentro de formações discursivas específicas, embora atravessadas por outras FDs. Nes-te trabalho, serão analisados dois anúncios publicitários: um veiculado no folder de propaganda oficial encomendada pela prefeitura de Cabedelo (PB) no mês de outubro de 2005 e o outro se trata da propaganda do rubacão um prato tipicamente paraibano, encomendado pelo governo da Paraíba à revis-ta Engenho da Gastronomia no mês de junho 2005, em que circula o discur-so gastronômico paraibano. Pretendemos, com base no referencial teórico da Análise do Discurso francesa, discutir algumas construções identitárias no discurso culinário paraibano.

The effects of privatisation on the equity of public services: evidence from China
Authors: Wang Huanming , Mu Rui , Liu Shuyan
Published: May 2017

This article investigates the relationship between privatisation and equity, and considers the extent to which measures to reverse privatisation have improved citizens’ access to public services. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) method is used to measure equity, and the multiple regression method is adopted to test the relationship between privatisation and equity. The findings confirm that there is a negative relationship between market access and equity, an inverted U-shape relationship between competition and equity, and a positive relationship between ownership and equity. In addition, the findings demonstrate that privatisation reversal does not have a clear impact on equity.
A contemporary, empowered female figure? Towards a feminist reading of Frimpong-Manso’s Life and Living It and The Perfect Picture
Authors: Kwansah-Aidoo Kwamena , Owusu Joyce Osei
Published: May 2017

This article examines the contemporary Ghanaian female figure as portrayed in two video films by Shirley Frimpong-Manso: Life and Living It (2007) and The Perfect Picture (2009). Though the selected films individually foreground male and female subjectivities, they share similar recurring motifs in female characterization. Using the postfeminist and African feminist frameworks as conceptual lenses, we interrogate the precise ways in which the female characters are portrayed and note that the films emphasize women’s freedom and choice – individualism and self-determination; challenge male dominance; encourage female sexual empowerment; and female friendship and bonding. We conclude that, in spite of a few instances where the two films appear to uphold normative notions of femininity, they overwhelmingly portray contemporary empowered female characters, framed within African feminist and postfeminist perspectives and cultures. Ultimately, the paper seeks to show the extent to which a feminist framework can initiate new thinking and affect wider social perceptions.
Stopping the Traffick? The problem of evidence and legislating for the ‘Swedish model’ in Northern Ireland
Authors: Huschke Susann , Ward Eilís
Published: May 2017

In 2015, after two years of controversy, the so-called ‘Swedish model’—the criminalisation of paying for sex—became law in Northern Ireland as an anti-trafficking measure. Evidence from the ground in Northern Ireland, however, questions the enforceability and appropriateness of a sex purchase ban to significantly reduce or eradicate trafficking in the sex industry. First, it is unclear that criminalisation will change the behaviour of male purchasers, many of whom thought that their actions were already illegal; second, sex workers do not support the law; and third, there are significant difficulties in law enforcement in the context of Northern Ireland, including a lack of police resources.This article examines mitigating evidence drawn from two sources: findings from a mixed methods study commissioned by the Department of Justice of Northern Ireland—in which we were amongst several co-authors—to support the reform process; and contributions to the consultation held within it.We argue that the sex purchase ban in Northern Ireland is essentially meant to send a moral message about the unacceptability of commercial sex rather than effectively reduce trafficking. With this conclusion, we aim to contribute to an open and honest debate about the moral foundations of anti-trafficking measures, the role of research evidence in the policy process, and the gap between stated intentions and likely effects of neo-abolitionist measures such as the sex purchase ban in both Northern Ireland and more generally.

Authors: Dhingra Mridula , Gupta Neha
Published: May 2017

Cloud Computing is a vital platform for viable and non-viable clients. It provides the reliable services to clients through data centers which contains servers, storage etc. One of the major challengein cloud computing environment is that services should be run without errors or faults. In cloud computing environment various computations are run on real time applications so that chances of errors becomes high, for these reasons applications running in cloud environment should be reliable and must have the ability of fault tolerance. In this paper, authors have discussed many fault tolerance techniques and compared various model of fault tolerance.
Monetary policy and energy price shocks
Authors: Huynh Bao Tan
Published: May 2017

A New Keynesian framework with endogenous energy production is proposed to investigate the role of monetary policy in addressing disturbances in energy markets. The novelty of the model lies in the endogenous production of energy with convex costs, explicit modeling of goods with different degrees of energy-dependency and sectoral price rigidities. Our analyses prescribe the desirable monetary responses to four types of energy price shocks, highlighting the distinct characteristics of each shock and affirming the need for diverse policy considerations. We also found several points of divergence in relation to previous studies on addressing energy supply shocks. In addition, we shed light on the role of sectoral price rigidities in the shocks’ propagation.
Comparative Evaluation of Spark Plasma and Conventional Sintering of NiO/YSZ Layers for Metal-Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Authors: Ivashutenko A. S. , Ionov I. V. , Maznoy A. S. , Sivkov A. A. , Solovyev A. A.
Published: May 2017

NiO/YSZ anode layers for metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFCs) were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). SPS parameters were optimized in order to achive anodes of the desired microstructure. The effect of sintering conditions on microstructure of NiO/YSZ was studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Also NiO/YSZ layers were formed on porous metal supports by a screen-printing method and sintered in inert atmosphere and vacuum by conventional sintering technique. At temperatures above 1,200 °С in inert atmosphere and vacuum nickel oxide dissociation and its massive agglomeration are observed during conventional sintering. SPS process allows sintering of NiO/YSZ granules without NiO dissociation, Ni agglomeration and the metal substrate oxidation at 1,100 °С. SPS sintered anodes demonstrate sufficiently homogeneous distribution of NiO and YSZ making a conduction path for electrons and ions. Well-bonded metal support/anode interface was obtained.

Advancing Regional Integration in Africa through the Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA)
Authors: Ismail F. A.
Published: May 2017

The past decade and a half of the new millennium has ushered in dramatic changes to the architecture of world trade creating both opportunities and challenges for Africa’s development. The paper is critical of the recent paper of the World Bank that resuscitates the approach to trade liberalization and regional integration propagated by the Washington Consensus. The paper argues that African countries should adopt a “development integration” approach to regional integration that seeks to combine trade liberalization, industrial development and infrastructure development. The paper urges the World Bank and Africa’s trading partners from the north and south, such as the EU, the US and China, to work closely with the African Union to advance the negotiations and implementation of the Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) and the African Union Agenda 2063.
Was macht der Buddha in einer altfriesischen Chronik?
Authors: Winter Franz
Published: May 2017

Der populäre „Laienforscher“ und „Pseudo-Gelehrte“ Herman Wirth (1885–1981) veröffentlichte 1933 eine Übersetzung und Interpretation eines Buches, das unter dem Titel Oera Linda Boek seit Ende des 19. Jh. bekannt war und ein angebliches Manuskript antiken Ursprungs zum Inhalt hatte. Darin findet sich eine phantastische Darstellung der angeblichen Frühgeschichte der Friesen, die in den Niederlanden entstand und möglicherweise von vorne herein als Parodie konzipiert worden war. In diesem Text findet sich unter anderem eine Referenz an den Buddha, der mit der Geschichte des Reiches von „Atland“ verbunden wird, einer angeblichen arischen Urheimat, wo auch der eigentliche Ursprung aller bedeutenden kulturellen und religiösen Entwicklungen liegen würde. Eine Interpretation dieser kuriosen Bezugnahme erlaubt Einblicke in Aspekte und Entwicklungen der rassischen und „völkischen“ Diskussion über und dessen Umgang mit Asien.
NS-Mystik und militanter Zen
Authors: Baier Karl
Published: May 2017

Der Aufsatz behandelt mit Karlfried Graf Dürckheim einen während des zweiten Weltkriegs in Japan höchst aktiven Propagandisten des Nationalsozialismus. Dürckheim verband sein Engagement für das Regime mit einer Mystik des Verschmelzens mit dem deutschen Volk und dem darin sich manifestierenden, von Dürckheim so genannten „göttlichen Weltgrund“. Während seiner Aufenthalte in Japan interessierte er sich immer mehr für den Zen, dessen militante, den japanischen Imperialismus unterstützende Ausprägung seiner NS-Mystik sehr entgegenkam. Im Fokus von Dürckheims Interesse stand seinem völkischen Denken entsprechend aber nicht diese Form des Buddhismus per se, sondern ihre positiven Auswirkungen auf das japanische Volk und den Erfolg des damaligen Regimes. Diesen Erfolg und die Machtentfaltung Japans deutet Dürckheim als Manifestation des Einklangs zwischen dem real existierenden Japan und seiner ewigen völkischen Essenz, die wiederum am Göttlichen teilhat – ein Einklang, zu dem Zen seinen Teil beiträgt.
Nun sag, wie hältst du’s mit der ‚Öffentlichkeit‘?
Authors: Jahn Sarah J.
Published: May 2017

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit Überlegungen zur Positionsbestimmung von Religionswissenschaft in der Öffentlichkeit. Ausgehend von Rudolphs Auseinandersetzung über die ideologiekritische Funktion von Religionswissenschaft (1978) wird anhand der Positionen von Tworuschka (2008, 2015), McCutcheon (2001), Wilke (2005), Seiwert (1998) und Klinkhammer (2001) deutlich, dass die aktuelle Gretchenfrage nicht neu ist, es im Gegenteil schon konkrete, aber auch divergente Aussagen über die Rolle von Religionswissenschaft in der Öffentlichkeit gibt. Dem Verständnis einer historisch-kritisch arbeitenden und sich methodologisch-agnostisch verstehenden Religionswissenschaft folgend, wird ein Vorschlag unterbreitet, der den einseitigen Prozess der Wissensvermittlung hin zu einem wechselseitigen auflöst.
The Shadow Manifesto
Authors: Tamas Sophie
Published: May 2017

When I was writing my dissertation, my wise supervisor advised me to ‘aim for defendable’. In this piece, I have done the opposite. I could defend its indefensibility by framing it as an example of ‘dirty writing’ (Pullen & Rhodes, 2008), built to make room for the raw, uncertain, and intemperate – but that move seems a little contradictory. Rather than looking for a rational argument, readers might like to pay attention to the thoughts and feelings it provokes in them; being provocative is, after all, one of the key goals of a manifesto.

Poetry is Politics
Authors: Faulkner Sandra L.
Published: May 2017

Through an autoethnographic poetry manifesto, the author makes the case for poetry as political, poetry as feminist practice, poetry as social research and autoethnography, poetry as the personal that becomes the universal, and poetry as visionary activism. The use of personal poetry engages the political power of poetry to present embodied, nuanced, and myriad scenes of marginalized and stigmatized identities.
Manifesto
Authors: Gingrich-Philbrook Craig
Published: May 2017

The author reflects on his return to the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry after sitting out a year to protest the Salaita affair. He draws on the experiences of the drive and what it means to once again be face to face with colleagues he admires, doing the work of thinking critically about the pressure of the law on sentences as descriptions of pain, vulnerability, and outrage—staples of autoethnography—become subject to punitive reactions in an increasingly policed state.

Background

The independent role of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in influencing the cardiovascular event (CVE) occurrence is a topic of interest. We investigated the role of mild ACS in the CVE occurrence in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) by standard statistics and artificial neural networks (ANNs).

Methods

We analyzed a retrospective record of 518 AI patients. Data regarding cortisol levels after 1 mg dexamethasone suppression (1 mg DST) and the presence of obesity (OB), hypertension (AH), type-2 diabetes (T2DM), dyslipidemia (DL), familial CVE history, smoking habit and CVE were collected.

Results

The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis suggested that 1 mg DST, at a cut-off of 1.8 µg/dL, had the best accuracy for detecting patients with increased CVE risk. In patients with 1 mg-DST ≥1.8 µg/dL (DST+, n = 223), age and prevalence of AH, T2DM, DL and CVE (66 years, 74.5, 25.9, 41.4 and 26.8% respectively) were higher than that of patients with 1 mg-DST ≤1.8 µg/dL (61.9 years, 60.7, 18.5, 32.9 and 10%, respectively, P < 0.05 for all). The CVE were associated with DST+ (OR: 2.46, 95% CI: 1.5–4.1, P = 0.01), regardless of T2DM, AH, DL, smoking habit, gender, observation period and age. The presence of at least two among AH, T2DM, DL and OB plus DST+ had 61.1% sensitivity in detecting patients with CVE. By using the variables selected by ANNs (familial CVE history, age, T2DM, AH, DL and DST+) 78.7% sensitivity was reached.

Conclusions

Cortisol after 1 mg-DST is independently associated with the CVE occurrence. The ANNs might help for assessing the CVE risk in AI patients.
Mediación biopedagógica de salud y vida, casos de enfermedad cardiovascular
Authors: Salas-Cabrera Jorge Enrique
Published: May 2017

This research aimed to analyze the application of a bio-pedagogical mediation built on the basis of constructivism in the learning and understanding of healthy living habits, specifically those related to food, physical activity, social relations, psycho-affective status and information about heart disease in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. A qualitative approach to the ideographic nature was implemented; it analyzed individual behaviors, habits, and customs, appreciating them in all their richness, to understand the reasons and decisions. The study involved five patients (4 men and 1 woman), who had cardiovascular events, aged between 40 to 65 years old. The bio-pedagogical mediation lasted 6 weeks, and 18 sessions of one hour per patient were held; each patient was able to read and write with no problems. Five categories of analysis were conducted: emotional-affective, nutritional, social, cognitive behavior and physical activity. To obtain the relevant expressions, three instruments were used for the respective analysis: life stories, incomplete sentences, and free association. The conclusion of this study was the improvement of the patient´s understanding of the importance of changing life habits, specifically in the five categories of analysis; this conclusion was verified in the follow-up done to the participants for two years after receiving the bio-pedagogical mediation.
Implicaciones de la concepción de planificación por proyectos desde la perspectiva de actores educativos venezolanos
Authors: Pasek-de Pinto Eva Lidmila , Villamil-de Vásquez Teresita , Ávila-de Vanegas Nelly
Published: May 2017

This article is the result of a research project which aimed to infer educational, epistemological, political and transforming implications from the conceptions educational stakeholders have about planning for projects. The study was addressed from the phenomenological philosophical school perspective with a qualitative methodology based on interviews. Following Rodríguez et al. (1999), the research was conducted in four stages: the preparatory phase, the field work, the analysis, and the information phase. In-depth interviews were carried out with three principals, eight teachers, four representatives and two students. The information gathered was transcribed, organized, codified, categorized by concepts, interpreted and triangulated. The results indicated that educational stakeholders understand planning by projects like a vision, an orderly sequence of steps, a collective action, an intention of achievement, a strategy, and a goal. From these ideas derived educational, epistemological, and political implications for change. It is concluded that the conceptions of educational stakeholders on planning for projects render difficult an education for a participatory democracy, for action, and for change, limiting the formation of the new cooperative and responsible citizenship. Therefore it is suggested to train teachers for participation since they ensure the educational process.
Consideraciones académicas y administrativas para implementación de Capstone en ingeniería civil: Estudio de caso
Authors: Serrano-Guzmán María Fernanda , Pérez-Ruiz Diego Darío , Torrado-Gómez Luz Marina , Solarte-Vanegas Norma Cristina
Published: May 2017

A capstone course is a culminating academic experience designed to encourage teamwork among students by applying their five years of classroom knowledge to solve realistic engineering problems. This emerging capstone experience demands academic and administrative changes to guarantee a satisfactory result within the time spared for this purpose. The main objective of this research is to assess students’ perception regarding the capstone project as a culminating academic experience, and to use the analysis results to propose academic and administrative changes required to support and guarantee the successful achievement of this type of final degree project. To reach this goal, an assessment instrument was prepared and applied to 47 students enrolled in a capstone course. The instrument allowed collecting information regarding problem-based learning experience, teamwork experience, and self-perception concerning students’ own behaviors and attitude during teamworking. On this regard, 87.2% of students considered capstone as a suitable final degree experience; however, it is challenging because it is known that student’s participation during teamworking is uncommon and usually just two students are committed. In spite of this, 86.2% of students considered that teamwork was satisfactory and 95.2% of them recognized that their self-behavior and attitude during teamworking was good. Based on the results we recommend to strengthen teamwork strategies among students, and to instruct teachers about assessment strategies to evaluate individual and teamwork performance of students. It is expected that these findings can help improve the capstone curriculum related to courses and their administration. These findings are also supposed to serve as a previous experience to those universities committed to include capstone as a culminating degree experience.
Reflexiones preliminares para pensar la formación de formadores en la universidad moderna: Nuevas miradas y nuevos diálogos desde la complejidad
Authors: Ferrada-Sullivan Jorge Alberto
Published: May 2017

This article reflects on the epistemological principles underlying Morin’s complex thought in their relation with the formative and pedagogical processes in Chilean classrooms. The paper theme aims to relate the direct connection between the fundamental notions of the concept of complexity and the evaluation of certain active methodological principles enhancing the reflexivity and the students’ experience. The three basal and pedagogical assumptions of such connection are based on relations of dialog with the contextual diversity in the recursivity of the experience and in the hologramatic principle of knowledge. The purpose of the text is based on the presentation of critical arguments that allow tensioning the traditional ways of teaching and learning within the educational spaces. Conceptually, the notion of complexity allows the discussion with the educational tradition and with elements of change for a practical reflexivity on formative processes. These processes carry and imply new cognitive landscapes about teaching. The learning experience, the creative autonomy and the current context will be key foundations for future systemic transformations. Finally, a set of recommendations are proposed to implement active methodological actions that could be used in the various educational spaces in Chile.
Характеристика імунотропних функціональних інгредієнтів бактеріального походження, отриманих шляхом фізичного впливу

Published: May 2017

Зазначено, що складові пептидогліканів клітинних стінок бактерій, у тому числі молочнокислих, володіють високою функціонально-фізіологічною активністю і є вельми перспективними харчовими імунотропними інгредієнтами. Доцільною є деструкція бактеріальних клітин з метою отримання біологічно активних сполук, здатних легше засвоюватися і вступати в біохімічні процеси, прискорюючи очікуваний імунотропний ефект. У роботі вивчено вплив фізичних дезінтегруючи факторів, а саме, ультразвуку та мікрохвиль НВЧ, на ефективність деструкції клітинних стінок Lactobacillus acidophilus. Надано порівняльну характеристику дезінтегратів бактеріальної маси (БМ) Lactobacillus acidophilus, отриманих із застосуванням ультразвуку та мікрохвиль НВЧ. Показано, що більш ефективним методом фізичної деструкції бактеріальних клітин є обробка ультразвуком. Встановлено молекулярно-масовий розподіл сполук білкової природи та вміст незамінних амінокислот у складі дезінтеграту, отриманого шляхом обробки БМ ультразвуком.
Дослідження впливу складу захисного середовища на збереження життєздатності ліофілізованих бактерій L. lactis та L. plantarum, виділених із традиційної карпатської бринзи

Published: May 2017

Вивчено вплив складу захисних середовищ на збереження життєздатності та технологічні властивості ліофілізованих бактерій штамів L. lactis та L. plantarum. Для досліджень обрано білково-вуглеводне та сахарозо-желатозне середовища. Об’єктами досліджень були чисті культури молочнокислих бактерій (МКБ): L. lactis SB 16, L. lactis SB 44, L. plantarum SB 5, L. plantarum SB 7, L. plantarum SB 17, виділені на попередніх етапах роботи із традиційної бринзи, виготовленої у непромислових умовах Карпатського регіону України. Культури бактерій ідентифіковано із використанням класичних мікробіологічних і сучасних молекулярно-генетичних методів (RAPD-PCR, RFLP-PCR, секвенування гену 16S рРНК). Чисельність мезо- і термофільних лактобактерій визначали шляхом посіву на середовище MRS. Молокозсідальну активність монокультур визначали за зміною кислотності молока. Процес сублімаційного сушіння біомаси, змішаної із відповідною кількістю захисного середовища, здійснювали із використанням сублімаційної сушарки «Alpha 1,2 LD Plus». За визначеною експериментальним шляхом кількістю загиблих під час сушіння клітин встановлювали Рівень Збереження Життєздатності (РЗЖ) різних видів і штамів. Встановлено, що за своїми кріопротекторними властивостями кращим для сушіння клітин досліджених монокультур є сахарозо-желатозне середовище, яке забезпечує високий РЗЖ, особливо для L. lactis SB 16 (кількість загиблих під час сушіння клітин становила 9,2%) та L. plantarum SB 17 (кількість загиблих під час сушіння клітин становила 9,9%). Проведено порівняльне дослідження РЗЖ різних видів МКБ за різних умов зберігання. Встановлено, що усі штами молочнокислих бактерій, за винятком штаму L. lactis SB 16, протягом зберігання у знежиреному молоці за температури (+6) °С через місяць втрачають від 4 до 15% життєздатних клітин. Термін зберігання штамів L. lactis та L. plantarum у сухій культурі становить 6 міс.

Досліджено упродовж визрівання фізико-хімічні, біохімічні та мікробіологічні характеристики делікатесного продукту з м’яса птиці, виготовленого зі застосуванням бактеріального препарату та нетрадиційних інгредієнтів рецептури. У статті показано, що корисна мікрофлора бактеріального препарату, який містить композицію бактеріальних штамів, позитивно впливає на сировину – філе курчат-бройлерів, в якому відбувається зміна не лише фізико-хімічних, а головне – біохімічних показників. Перетворення вільних амінокислот і летких жирних кислот не тільки характеризує біологічну цінність продукту, а насамперед, обумовлює його смак і аромат. Доказом, є більш високий (до 30%) вміст вільних амінокислот як в якісному, так і в кількісному складі, порівняно з контролем. Показано, що в продукті з бактеріальним препаратом на кінцеву добу ферментування вміст летких жирних кислот на 11,6% був вищим, ніж у контролі. Ефективність використання у продукті бактеріального препарату підтверджена і результатами мікробіологічних досліджень, за яких дослідний продукт був готовий на 3 доби раніше, ніж контроль. Отже, доведено, що використання бактеріального препарату змінює інтенсивність та спрямованість процесу визрівання продукту, надає та формує специфічні смако-ароматичні властивості та забезпечує продукту гарантовану якість.

Стаття присвячена проблемі зберігання м’ясної сировини. Відомо, що під час тривалого зберігання в м’ясі відбуваються зміни, які зумовлені його властивостями, умовами та термінами зберігання. Ці зміни призводять до втрат маси та якості продукції: відбувається зміна кольору м’язової тканини – в результаті зміни концентрації міоглобіну в поверхневому шарі (внаслідок випаровування вологи) і утворення метміоглобіну. Проблема зменшення втрат сировини та збереження якості має важливе значення в технології виготовлення м’ясних продуктів. В статті представлені дослідження щодо визначення інтенсивності процесів охолодження м’ясних моделей, що залежать від розмірів продукту, температури та швидкості повітря. В охолоджених м’ясних продуктах швидкість перебігу процесів, що впливають на якість, у багато разів менша. В статті досліджено динаміку густини теплового потоку під час холодильного оброблення зразків м’ясних продуктів. Доведено, що перенесення енергії за рахунок випромінювання не впливає на усихання м’яса. Таким чином, збільшення частки теплового потоку за рахунок випромінювання може сприяти зменшенню часу охолодження. Встановлено, що швидке охолодження м’яса забезпечує добрий товарний вигляд, тонку та стійку плівку підсихання, що сприяє подовженому терміну зберігання м’ясних продуктів.

Одним із завдань високогустинного пивоваріння як сучасної енергоощадної технології є отримання пива високої якості, адже смак і аромат напою ‒ його головні споживчі властивості. Віцинальні дікетони ‒ діацетил (2,3-бутандіон) та 2,3-пентандіон – відіграють значну роль у формуванні смаку. Завдання пивоварів полягає в зведенні до мінімуму їх утворення або пришвидшенні їх відновлення до речовин із вищим порогом відчуття. До основних методів зниження вмісту дікетонів належать оптимізація параметрів бродіння та дозрівання, використання модифікованих штамів дріжджів та іммобілізованих дріжджових клітин. Цього досягають також застосуванням ферменту α-ацетолактатдекарбоксилази, який міститься в ферментному препараті Матурекс. Він каталізує реакцію перетворення α-ацетолактату безпосередньо в ацетоїн, минаючи утворення діацетилу. Таким чином значно знижується вміст дікетонів у пиві та скорочується тривалість його дозрівання. В роботі досліджено вплив параметрів зброджування високогустинного сусла – концентрації сухих речовин у суслі, температури та тривалості процесу на вміст дікетонів у пиві. Визначено оптимальні умови головного бродіння: концентрація сусла 16% сухих речовин, температура бродіння 15 °С, тривалість 7 діб. Встановлено вплив дози ферментного препарату Матурекс 1, 2 і 3 г на 1 гл сусла на вміст віцинальних дікетонів у молодому пиві. Визначено оптимальну дозу препарату, яка становить 2 г на 1 гл сусла. Досліджено вплив ферментного препарату Матурекс на фізико-хімічні показники молодого та готового пива – вміст екстракту та етанолу, рН і кислотність, вміст віцинальних дікетонів. Таким чином, для пришвидшення процесів дозрівання пива в технології високогустинного пивоваріння, зниження вмісту віцинальних дікетонів у пиві та збільшення ефективності виробництва можна рекомендувати зброджування сусла концентрацією 16% сухих речовин при температурі 15 °С впродовж 7 діб з додаванням ферментного препарату Матурекс у кількості 2 г на 1 гл сусла.

Published: May 2017

Abstract:

Authors present a case of acute renal failure and hyponatraemia caused by a secretory tubulovillous adenoma of the colon, the rare so called McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome. A 75 year old woman was in need of treatment many times on medical wards because of watery diarrhoea, severe dehydration, hydroelectrolyte disturbance. The authors keep their case to be worthy to present, owing to the syndrome’s rarity and difficulties of differential diagnosis. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(18): 711–714.
The Paradox of Global Civil Society
Authors: Dzwończyk Joanna
Published: May 2017

The article presents the issue of global civil society, which is often regarded as a kind of remedy for global problems. It has been pointed out that civil society is inextricably linked with the institution of the state, as well as democracy, which is not conducive to globalisation. As a strictly verbal structure, the global civil society cannot actually be brought into existence, mainly due to the lack of a universal / global axiological foundation. Referring to attempts to create a global civil society, the author points out that it can become a construct that exists ostensibly to address problems which could be addressed by entities with a real ability to act, but which cannot or do not want to. These are problems best not ignored. Referring to Roland Robertson’s concept of glocalisation, I stress the need to re-evaluate the local-global relation, which I believe will reduce the negative effects of globalisation through the local activities (i.e. operating at the level of the nationstate) of civil societies.

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT: Several computer applications have been proposed for the visual assessment of plant disease severity; however, they have some restrictions such as not permitting the user to make modifications. Therefore, the VBA-Excel application was developed as a means to train people to estimate disease severity and to validate standard area diagrams through images and disease severity values (percentage, rating or score) inserted into a database. The main performance statistics are screen displayed and spreadsheet recorded. Finally, the authors hope to receive evaluations and feedback regarding this application.

ABSTRACT: Nerium oleander is distributed worldwide, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. These shrubs are frequently used as ornamental plants. However, they contain more than 30 cardiac glycosides that can cause serious toxic effects in dogs. The objective of this study was to report the clinical and electrocardiographic alterations in dogs experimentally poisoned with N. oleander. Ten adult, healthy, mixed-breed dogs weighing 10-25kg and aged 3-6 years were selected for the study. We orally administered 0.25g kg-1 of fresh ground leaves of N. oleander to the dogs. No dog died after the ingestion, but all exhibited signs of poisoning such as vomiting, sialorrhea, nausea, apathy, conjunctiva congestion, dehydration, abdominal pain, tremors, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and tenesmus. Electrocardiogram revealed occurrence of several types of arrhythmias: sinus bradycardia, second-degree atrioventricular block, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular premature complexes. Systolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate, decreased in the first 24 hours. The present study concluded that a single dose of 0.25g kg-1 of N. oleander green leaves is sufficient to cause a moderate intoxication in dogs, with nonspecific clinical changes mainly related to the digestive system and heart rate, thus demonstrating the importance of this type of intoxication in the list of differential diagnoses of small animals routine.

Published: May 2017

Abstract In Cerrado, studies of post-fire vegetation recovery show that some herbaceous species are able to flower shortly after fires. However, these were mainly short-term studies that focused on grasslands and savannas. Little is known about the effects of fire on ground layer of forests that border the savannas in Central Brazil. Thus, an accidental burning gave us the opportunity to describe the reproductive activity of the ground layer vegetation after a fire event along a savanna-forest boundary at the IBGE Ecological Reserve, Brasília, Brazil. During the 16-month of the inventory, we registered 170 herbaceous species flowering or fruiting, of which 52 species (31%) may have been influenced by fire that changed their times of reproduction. In the savanna plots reproduction peaked at the end of the rainy season. Of the total number of reproducing species, 90 species occurred only in the savanna and four in the forest. Five herbs were recorded in the forest, savanna and border environments. Late dry season fire probably lead the majority of herbaceous species to have their reproduction spread throughout the study time.
Vivência do preconceito racial e de classe na doença falciforme
Authors: Figueiró Alessandra Varinia Matte , Ribeiro Rosa Lúcia Rocha
Published: May 2017

Resumo Esse estudo, descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, tem por finalidade compreender as manifestações de discriminação racial e de classe que ocorrem com pessoas que vivenciam a doença falciforme. Participaram do estudo 33 pessoas. O corpus de análise foi composto do registro das narrativas e observações de campo contidas no Diário de Pesquisa. Os resultados mostraram que o preconceito na área da saúde, muitas vezes, se manifesta por meio do racismo institucional. No âmbito socioeconômico, as pessoas que vivenciam o agravo muitas vezes têm poder aquisitivo menor, em parte devido ao próprio racismo, e também devido às limitações que o adoecimento impõe. Evidenciamos que a qualidade de atendimento e infraestrutura dos serviços de saúde está diretamente relacionada à cor e classe social dos usuários. Com este estudo foi possível compreender mais profundamente esse fenômeno social em saúde, permitindo a elaboração de medidas para solucionar esse quadro de violação de direitos humanos. Assim, sugere-se a realização de outros estudos com foco nas implicações sociais da doença falciforme, para aprimorar a qualidade dos serviços de saúde prestados a essa população.
Presence of riparian vegetation increases biotic condition of fish assemblages in two Brazilian reservoirs
Authors: Ferreira Fabio Cop , Souza Ursulla Pereira , Petrere Junior2 Miguel
Published: May 2017

Abstract The riparian vegetation in lakes and reservoirs is source of course wood structures such as trunks and branches and is used as sheltering, spawning and foraging habitats for fishes. The reduction of these submerged structures can thus, affect the composition and structure of fish assemblages in reservoirs. Aim To evaluate the influence of riparian vegetation on the biotic condition of fish assemblage by adapting the Reservoir Fish Assemblage Index (RFAI) to two reservoirs in the Upper Paranapanema river basin, São Paulo State, Brazil. Methods The RFAI was adapted from metrics related to the functional characteristics and composition of fish assemblages through a protocol of metric selection and validation, and to its response to the presence of riparian vegetation. Results The final RFAI was composed by nine metrics, been lower in sites without riparian vegetation as consequence of the predominance of larger individuals and the percent of piscivorous and detritivorous fishes. Conclusions These results suggest that increasing shore habitat complexity in reservoirs by maintaining riparian vegetation increases fish biotic integrity.

Published: May 2017

Despite growing numbers of homeless youth living in shelters with caregivers, little research has explored the impact of the shelter environment on emotional well-being. As such, this study assesses the relationship between shelter rules and two psychosocial outcomes among youth in New York City family shelters. Additionally, the direct effect of trauma and the moderating effect of difficulty following shelter rules on psychosocial outcomes was assessed. Youth with difficulty following shelter rules reported significantly more depressive symptoms, but less substance use. Trauma was found to be associated with increased depression and substance use. Difficulty following shelter rules was found to moderate the association between trauma and substance use. Recommendations for future interventions and the creation of shelter policies are discussed.
