Family, Social Context and Drug Addiction in Young Adult Novels/Obiteljski i socijalni kontekst i ovisnost o drogi u romanima za mlade
Authors: Živković Zebec Vedrana , Novak Jelena
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn the 1990s the influence of literary and extraliterary changes introduced new topics to Croatian literature for young adults. Those are the topics (like drug addiction) that had been considered taboo prior to these changes. This paper presents work on a selected corpus of novels written in the period from the 1990s to the present to investigate the family and social context that appears in novels discussing drug addiction and to explore in what manner the identity formation of the individual is influenced. In the four novels analyzed: Kad pobjedi ljubav [When Love Prevails], Čarobni prosjak [The Magical Beggar], Miron u škripcu [Miron in Trouble] and Meko okidanje [The Soft Triggering] the causes of addiction are linked to family problems, while in the novel Zeleni pas [The Green Dog] there is no family pathology. A disintegrating family, neglectful parents or the lack of parental presence (physical and emotional) influence the identity formation of the teenage protagonists. In all of these novels the life of addicts is presented as a life on the margins of society. They are either ignored or pitied by their surroundings, with rare occurrences of helpers, while the institutions prove to be ineffective and powerless. The unfortunate endings in the novels that take hold of the addicts and their family members function as a warning. Only the novel Miron u škripcu [Miron in Trouble] presents a different kind of ending where the importance of family is emphasized. Key words: drug addiction; family context; social context; young adult literature.---Sažetak Devedesetih se godina 20. stoljeća pod utjecajem književnih i izvanknjiževnih promjena u hrvatsku književnost za mlade unose nove do tada tabuizirane teme, a jedna od novih tema je i problematiziranje ovisnosti o drogi. U radu je na odabranom korpusu romana od 90-ih godina do danas istražen kakav se obiteljski i socijalni kontekst pojavljuje u romanima koji problematiziraju ovisnost o drogi i kako oni utječu na izgradnju identiteta pojedinca. U četiri analizirana romana: Kad pobijedi ljubav, Čarobni prosjak, Miron u škripcu i Meko okidanje, uzroci se problema s ovisnošću povezuju s obiteljskim problemima, a u romanu Zeleni pas izostaje obiteljska patologija. Obitelj koja se raspada, roditelji koje ne mare za djecu ili nedostatak prisustva roditelja (fizički ili emotivno) utječu na izgradnju identiteta likova tinejdžera. U svim je romanima život ovisnika prikazan kao život na rubu društva. Okolina ih ili ignorira ili sažalijeva. Rijetki im pomažu, a institucije se pokazuju kao nemoćne. Upozoravajuća je funkcija proučavanih romana u nesretnom kraju koji zahvaća ovisnike ili članove njihovih obitelji, a izostaje samo u romanu Miron u škripcu u kojemu se afirmira važnost obiteljske zajednice. Ključne riječi: književnost za mlade; ovisnost o drogi; slika obitelji; socijalni kontekst.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELIABILITY OF INTUITIVE MORAL DECISIONS
Authors: Nadurak V. V.
Published: July 2017

Purpose of the research is a critical analysis of the reliability of intuitive moral decisions. Methodology. The work is based on the methodological attitude of empirical ethics, involving the use of findings from empirical research in ethical reflection and decision making. Originality. The main kinds of intuitive moral decisions are identified: 1) intuitively emotional decisions (i.e. decisions made under the influence of emotions that accompanies the process of moral decision making); 2) decisions made under the influence of moral risky psychological aptitudes (unconscious human tendencies that makes us think in a certain way and make decisions, unacceptable from the logical and ethical point of view); 3) intuitively normative decisions (decisions made under the influence of socially learned norms, that cause evaluative feeling «good-bad», without conscious reasoning). It was found that all of these kinds of intuitive moral decisions can lead to mistakes in the moral life. Conclusions. Considering the fact that intuition systematically leads to erroneous moral decisions, intuitive reaction cannot be the only source for making such decisions. The conscious rational reasoning can compensate for weaknesses of intuition. In this case, there is a necessity in theoretical model that would structure the knowledge about the interactions between intuitive and rational factors in moral decisions making and became the basis for making suggestions that would help us to make the right moral decision.
VOICES-POSITIONS IN DISCOURSES: HOW IS IDENTITY POSSIBLE?
Authors: Podolska T. V. , Skryl O. I.
Published: July 2017

The article is devoted to the question of identity of a modern man which constantly emerges as a powerful wave and is brought up to date with new force. Thus, continuing scientific research on identity and individual identity are being held, but from a different point of view, i.e. by using modernized methodology. The purpose of the research is to substantiate scientific approaches, epistemological coordinate changes, and critical trends in the issue of identity that would allow solving the problems of nature of a modern person being. In this respect the narrative approach is considered to be up-to-date. Methodology. Interdisciplinary research perspective allowed using a comprehensive methodology where, complementing each other, there are phenomenological, cultural, anthropological, hermeneutic, systematic, historical and genetic methods and method historical-philosophical and socio-cultural comparative studies. Originality. Personal being occurs in time, and it’s the narrative method, the main feature of which is its temporality and extension, that can involve all of us to self-understanding on the basis of certain turning points in our history. The compliance with relevant ethical standards in dealing with other people, and requirements of certain supra-individual structures properly correlates with our least resistant inner world view and outlook. As the narrative identity exists in the subjective sense of time, experience and understanding of the events of life, thus, despite the ontogenetic secondary of the personal identity with respect to the social one, the domination of the former one is more probable. Conclusions. The adoption of such an understanding of identity by everyone signifies a high degree of responsibility for self-constructing, which implicitly assumes not just to say “I”, but first of all to define your being as a certain social debt: to another person, to society, its history and everyday life through which we get a chance to be happy.
DECONSTRUCTION OF THE METAPHYSICS OF PRESENCE IN PHENOMENOLOGY AND STRUCTURALISM
Authors: Polivoda A. A.
Published: July 2017

Purpose of the work is a description of critical position of J. Derrida on metaphysics of presence in phenomenological and structuralist discourses. As a philosophical strategy, deconstruction tries to destroy a violent hierarchy of terms, in which one term dominates the other according to its ontological or rational sense. Methodology of research is based on J. Derrida’s strategy of deconstruction, which tries to undermine the basic principles of knowledge and Western philosophy existence, for example, the opposition between nature and culture. In terms of J. Derrida, to deconstruct Western philosophy means to explore the tensions and contradictions in text, which should clarify false reliability of accepted hierarchies. The originality of the work lies in the identification of metaphysic of presence problem in structuralist and phenomenological discourses through the deconstruction project. Deconstruction should show instability of logocentrism, which focuses on repression of writing in terms of thought, truth, reason or logic. Conclusions: J. Derrida’s deconstruction appeared as an attempt to overthrow metaphysics and get focused on the concept of writing, which scope is limited by discourse. Deconstruction of metaphysics of presence is a continuous request of legitimacy of the existing logocentrism, and search of its weaknesses, aporias and contradictions, which make impossible the tradition, centered around mind.
GENDER GENEALOGY OF READING AS CULTURAL PRACTICE
Authors: Kryvda N. Yu. , Osadcha L. V.
Published: July 2017

Purpose. The article is devoted to the cultural aspect of texts using in European culture. The paper found out methodological basis of correctly interpreting the term "practice" in the philosophical and sociological discourses. In the first case the concept reveals human nature; appealing to the field of ethics and intersubjective interactions. In sociological approach the term practice is contrasted to institutional life. It seems to be an organic; vital relevance of actions for contrast to the mechanically regulated community life. Methodology. The paper considered the typology of human intellectual conditions according to Kant’s divided into pure and practical reason. The last one directs action-willed individual efforts so as to meet the universal relevance and ethical coherence. Gottlieb Fichte interpreted practice reason as the way to combine intellectual intentions and material conditions of human being. G. W. F. Hegel enriched the concept with terms of "objectification" and "alienation” of labour. Karl Marx formulated the main features of activity approach to the human nature exploring. In sociological discourse the term practice is opposed to mechanically done actions (according to institutional normativity). Given the philosophical and sociological methodological contexts the reading is studied as activity that aimed emotional and volitional contact with sense. Originality. The paper analysed the genealogy of reading practices. There were selected two types of text perception – rapid "masculine" and prudent "women's" reading. Women salon environment of the XVIII-th century capitalistic Europe was the main condition for the forming of literary-aware public. The authors analysed the process of reading of the text-as-satisfaction and text-as-pleasure (R. Barthes). The work presents the overview of classical studies of sociocultural field: Thorstein Veblen; Vladimir Toporov; Rolan Barthes and contemporary researchers such as T. Markova (2013); A. Smahtinova (2015); B. Jack (2013); D. G. Scott (2015); R. A. Fullerton (2016). Conclusions. The practice of thoughtful reading connects the subject with culture; makes a man coeval to any historical era. Using the text; a person faces the cultural meanings without any institutional mediation; thus forming self-identity.

Lessons Learned

Ofatumumab infusion reactions can be diminished by escalating the dose rate in individual patients in sequential infusions.

Background

Ofatumumab (OFA) is a fully humanized, anti-CD20 antibody approved for use in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The recommended administration requires long infusion times. We evaluated an accelerated infusion regimen of 2 hours.

Methods

The first dose of OFA (300 mg) was given on week 1 day 1 starting at 3.6 mg/hour and doubling every 30 minutes until a rate of 240 mg/hour was reached. If tolerated, the second dose (1,000 mg) was given on week 1 day 3 starting at 50 mg/hour and doubling every 30 minutes until a rate of 800 mg/hour was reached. If tolerated, the third dose (2,000 mg) was given on week 2 day 1 at 800 mg/hour over the first 30 minutes and, if tolerated, at 1,068 mg/hour over the next 90 minutes (goal infusion time: 120 minutes). Subsequent OFA infusions were administered weekly in the same manner for 8 weeks, and then monthly for 4 months.

Results

Thirty-four patients were treated. Most infusion-related reactions occurred during the first and second infusion. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of patients finished the third infusion within 15 minutes of the planned 2 hours and only one had an infusion reaction.

Conclusion

Using this stepped-up dosing regimen, a rapid infusion of OFA is safe and well tolerated.

He querido iniciar esta ponencia con lo que aparentemente es una incongruencia humana, mezclar el sentimiento plasmado en la tinta con la realidad circundante de la educación robotizada. Dirán, entonces, quienes de ciencia están repletos que los

nuevo pastor de multitudes. Alejado estaría de la certeza si al menos en la expresión
última no estaría de acuerdo, no porque así lo quiera asimilar y sumarme al rebaño

El uso de fertilización técnica se inició con la introducción de especies forrajeras altamente productivas, la creciente utilización de fertilizantes se debe entre otros al
acelerado agotamiento de la fertilidad de los suelos, debido a prácticas agronómicas
inadecuadas que facilitaron el desgaste erosionando el contenido nutricional. La creciente demanda de alimento para los animales, mas los costos elevados de insumos y de la tierra, han obligado al productor pecuario a ser más eficiente en la producción de alimento. También se puede considerar que los sistemas de explotación intensiva utilizados en países como Nueva Zelanda, Estados Unidos y Holanda, están sirviendo como modelo de producción en nuestro país, realizando manejos más técnicos tanto en producción alimenticia como en el manejo de los animales y otros recursos.

Authors: Al-Jaff Bahrouz
Published: July 2017

To evaluate the risk of bacterial contamination and the penetrability of some pathogens through the shell, light brown fertile and brown infertile eggs were subjected to microbiological analyses. The benefit of using 70% ethanol as a proposed disinfectant was assessed also. Non disinfected infertile eggs showed higher contamination with both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, anaerobic were higher (shells: 8.7.x 102, albumen: 0.28 x 102, yolk: 0.97 x 102 cfu/gm or ml). Disinfecation reduced contamination on shells (for fertile eggs: 85.1% aerobic and 54.4% anaerobic bacteria, for infertile: 65% aerobic and 47.7% anaerobic bacteria). There was no reduction in interior components but the isolation of bacteria from interior components mav belong to a contamination prior to disinfection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed higher penetrability when tested artificially in all types of eggs followed by Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus cwreus and Escherichia coli respectively regardless whether eggs were disinfected or not. Fertite and intèrtile eggs of Sulaimani poultries were within permissive hygienic quality.

Don't Go Viral: An Evidence-Based Practice Project for Increasing Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Rates on a College Campus
Authors: Wasco Jennifer J.
Published: July 2017

Aim: To describe the effectiveness of an evidence-based practice (EBP) project on a college campus using an educational campaign that leveraged technology as well as traditional marketing strategies for the dissemination of valuable, reliable health information about the seasonal influenza virus and seasonal influenza vaccination.Background: Despite the typical seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) of approximately 50% - 60% (Centers for Disease Contol and Prevention, 2016c), some groups of individuals, such as young adults, do not take advantage of obtaining the immunization for a variety of reasons.Methods: Students (N=55) at a small private university in southwestern Pennsylvania agreed to participate in an EBP project between September 2015 and October 2015. Project participants were sent a link to an animated online video about seasonal influenza, and an optional text message reminder was sent to encourage vaccination against the virus. An electronic survey was utilized to identify demographics and confirm the effectiveness of the campaign methods.Results: Due to the limited number of survey responses, a broad scale conclusion of intervention effectiveness cannot be applied against the larger college student population nationally. However, the results from the participants who viewed the online educational video showed a favorable reaction to this type of intervention.Conclusions: Based on the EBP project results, when developing health-related material and programming, consideration needs to be given to the college student population’s preferences on learning. Given the computer usage statistics of the college-age population and the results of this project, the matching of the video to the population’s preferred medium is supported.

Published: July 2017

Pneumonia is one of the most common respiratory diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze trends of pneumonia morbidity in adults > 18 years old and in children 0 – 14 years old in 2010 – 2014. Methods. Findings of Federal Statistic Surveillance of the Healthcare Ministry of Russian Federation were used to analyze pneumonia morbidity of adults and children living at different federal districts of Russian Federation in 2010 – 2014. Results. Respiratory diseases are the 2nd leading cause of morbidity in adults and the 1st leading cause of morbidity in children. The highest pneumonia morbidity in both groups was registered in 2010 that was 413.1 per 100,000 of age-adjusted population in adults and 986.1 per 100,000 of ageadjusted population in children. In 2014, the morbidity decreased to 338 cases in adults and 816 cases in children per 100,000 of age-adjusted population. In 2010, the highest pneumonia morbidity in adults and children was registered in the Central Federal District. In 2014, the highest pneumonia morbidity was registered in adult population of the Siberian Federal District and in children of the Far-Eastern Federal District. The overall pneumonia morbidity in Russia decreased in 2010 – 2014 excluding the Siberian Federal District, the Ural Federal District and the Volga Federal District. Conclusion. Average pneumonia morbidity in adults and children inRussia rise in 2010 due to A(H1N1)2009 influenza epidemics and then gradually decreased to 2014, probably due to the improved care and preventive measures.
Non invasive ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a hospital and at home
Authors: Avdeev S. N.
Published: July 2017

Last two decades, active use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has provided a significant improvement in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), both in patients with acute exacerbation and in stable patients. Currently, NIV is the first-line treatment for patients with acute exacerbation of COPD and acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. This method of respiratory support is also effective after extubation, as it could facilitate weaning from the ventilator and affects positively prevention and treatment of postextubation respiratory failure. Also, NIV has been successfully used in co-morbidity of COPD and sleep apnea syndrome, COPD and pneumonia, and in early postoperative period after thoracic surgery. NIV can be used in COPD patients with chronic respiratory failure. Long-term NIV at home is more reasonable in patients with daytime hypercapnia. The most effective strategy of respiratory support in COPD is thought to be decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood, i.e. high-intensity NIV. Currently available portable non-invasive ventilators could improve significantly physical activity of patients with severe COPD.
Ultrasound diagnostic opportunities in pulmonology
Authors: Neklyudova G. V. , Naumenko Zh. V.
Published: July 2017

Ultrasound diagnostic methods completely respond to all current requirements for diagnostic procedures and are valuable, safe, and relatively independent on the patient's condition. As ultrasound scanners are improved and new diagnostic regimens are developed, their use in different clinical field is extended. The most common ultrasound methods in pulmonology are echocardiography and ultrasonography of pleural cavities. Ultrasound investigation of the lung parenchyma is limited due to full reflection of ultra-sound from the aerated lung tissue. The lung density is increased in respiratory diseases; this gives an opportunity to use ultrasonography together with radiological methods for diagnosis and, therefore, to decrease radiation dose for the patient.

Published: July 2017

Continuous growth of proportion of adult patients in the total number of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is accompanied by the increasing rate of pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications, mainly secondary osteoporosis. This is a multifactorial disease predominantly associated with chronic microbial and inflammatory processes, vitamin D deficiency, low body mass index, delayed puberty and hypogonadism, and long-term (≥3 months) therapy with oral steroids. Controversal issues of terminology and current diagnostic approach to osteoporosis in CF patients have been discussed in the article. Diagnosis of osteoporosis in CF patients should not be based solely on osteodensitometry findings but also on thorough analysis of clinical signs and symptoms, other image diagnostic investigations and laboratory data. Detection of the risk factors could help to control this disease.

Goldenhar syndrome was first described by Maurice Goldenhar in 1952 it involves abnormalities in the first and second branchial arches. This syndrome appears to have varying degree of presentation from mild to severe form. Different pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed .Oculo auriculo vertebral syndrome which includes reduction in blood flow resulting in focal haemorrhage in the first and second branchial arches. In addition there may be cardiac vertebral and CNS defects. A male baby 30-32 wks, preterm SGA was admitted in NICU for evaluation of Congenital Malformations which includes swelling of the anterior border of both eyes with b/l preauricular ear tags, malformed pinna, high arched palate and micrognatia ophthalmology examination revealed b/l limbal dermoid inferotemporal aspect. ECHO done revealed ASD 4mm.CT scan showed obstructive hydrocephalus. Treatment of the condition varies according to the severity. Ophthalmic treatment aimed first because of amblyogenic risk. Craniofacial surgery in view of severe micrognathia systemic treatment may be related to cardiac, renal and CNS malformations. Goldenhar Syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly, with cosmetic defects whose treatment may pose numerous challenges with multidisciplinary approach for optimal management.

Background: Najran area, Saudi Arabia, has experienced infection of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. Knowledge towards prevention and control of the disease is necessary among the health colleges' students as they are at high risk of newly emerging diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the knowledge and attitude of undergraduate health colleges’ students in Najran University, Saudi Arabia towards MERS coronavirus.Methods: A structured questionnaire on MERS was developed by the researcher with the help of existing literatures to cover the survey objectives. From five health colleges, 418 health colleges’ students were invited to fill the questionnaire from February 2017 to April 2017 and statistic was used to summarize the responses. Results: The students were highly aware about the clinical aspects of MERS including diagnosis, treatment, transmission and preventive measures. However, there were statistically significant differences (p<0.05) among health colleges’ students regarding their understanding of the basic science of the virus. The students showed positive attitude about MERS and the majority indicated that they are in need for further education about it. Conclusions: The students were knowledgeable about the clinical aspects of MERS but were lacking background awareness in the basic sciences and there is need for further education and training programs.

Published: July 2017

Background: India has the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden in the world. The directly observed treatment strategy is the most systemic and cost-effective approach to the disease. Furthermore, understanding the reasons for treatment outcome is important for the improvement of treatment systems. The objective was to study the treatment outcome of retreatment tuberculosis patients under RNTCP in eastern UP.Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was undertaken among total 205 patients registered in category II under DOTS from June 2015 to May 2016. These patients were followed up to November 2016 till the completion of treatment. At the end of study period, treatment outcomes were analysed. The chi-square test was used to assess the statistical significance of each ratio. P<0.05 was considered significant.Results: Out of 205 re-treatment patients, 174 (84.4%) had pulmonary tuberculosis while 31 (15.1%) had extra-pulmonary TB. In the cohort of category II patients 93 (45.3%) were relapse, 58 (28.2%) belonged to others category, 31 (15.1%) were treatment after loss to follow-up and 23 (11.2%) were on treatment after failure. Maximum patients were male 133 (64.8%) and most of the patients were belonged to the age group of 20-40 years. Among retreatment cases the cure rate for relapse, treatment after failure, treatment after loss to follow-up and others cases were 74.1%, 60.8%, 35.4% and 55.1% respectively.Conclusions: The relapse cases were the most commonly found in the re-treatment category however these patients were more likely to be cured with the category II regimen and treatment after loss to follow-up had high risk of retreatment failure. Continuous monitoring, adherence and treatment completion are essential for controlling the need of retreatment as well as improvement of tuberculosis control programme.

Published: July 2017

Introduction: Diagnosis of periodontal problems in dental colleges are mostly done by the interns and may not be timely diagnosed. The aim of the present study is to assess the knowledge and diagnosis of periodontal disease pathogenesis by the interns of various dental colleges from the southern most states of India. Materials and Method: 780 participants from 30 dental colleges in South India filled a structured questionnaire consisting of 15 knowledge and 10 practice based questions related to periodontal disease. The variables such as period of internship (0-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 months) and working status in private dental clinics were recorded. The mean total knowledge and practice scores were calculated and statistical significance was based on probability values of less than 0.05. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the knowledge and practice scores among the interns according to their duration of internship (p<0.001, p<0.002 respectively). When the knowledge and practice scores were correlated with the working status, the non working interns had better knowledge scores when compared to the working interns (p<0.001). The knowledge scores were more in the interns during the period of 4-6 months and the practice score were more during 0-3 months. Conclusion: During the last phase of internship, students showed a decrease in scores of knowledge and practice pertaining to periodontal diagnosis and treatment plan. Hence a short refreshing seminar/course on periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning topics could be recommended to reinforce and facilitate them as good clinicians in future.
¿Bandoleros o resistentes? La guerrilla morisca en el reino de Granada a comienzos del siglo XVI
Banditry or resistance? Moorish guerrilla warfare in the Kingdom of Granada at the beginning of the 16th century
Authors: Peinado Santaella Rafael G.
Published: July 2017

RESUMEN Como fácilmente puede colegirse del mismo, el título de este trabajo plantea al mismo tiempo una pregunta y su respuesta. Esta, como he tratado in extenso en un libro reciente, se inclina por el segundo de los términos contenidos en aquella. Pero, a decir verdad, el mérito de la precisión terminológica se remonta a autores que escribieron sobre el tema mucho tiempo atrás, lo que no ha impedido que las palabras resistencia y resistente hayan quedado arrinconadas por otras como bandolerismo, bandidismo, bandidaje y bandoleros, o para decirlo mejor, por ese vocablo de difícil precisión cronológica como es el de monfíes, que, a partir de 1526, se impuso a gazíes. Después de recordar, a modo de breve estado de la cuestión las principales aportaciones o sugerencias que se han hecho al tema del llamado “bandolerismo morisco”, analizaré los perfiles sociales de los protagonistas de la resistencia y de sus víctimas, los escenarios donde la practicaron de manera preferente y cómo fue reprimida.   PALABRAS CLAVES: Reino de Granada, moriscos, resistencia, Historia Social, represión social   ABSTRACT The title of this piece raises a question and suggests responses. This present study leans towards the latter of the two. The credit for this terminological precision must go to authors from the distant past. However, this has not prevented words like resistance and resistors from giving way to others related to banditry or to be more precise monfíes, which after 1526 replaced gazíes. After recalling the principal contributions or suggestions that have been made to the topic of so called “Moorish banditry”, I will analyze the social profiles of the protagonists of the resistance and of their victims, the places where they practiced it and how it was suppressed.   KEYWORDS: Kingdom of Granada, moriscos, resistance, social history, social repression

Virtually Legitimate: Using Disembodied Media to Position Oneself in an Embodied Community
Authors: Griffith Lauren Miller
Published: July 2017

Previous research on capoeira suggests that face-to-face training is the ideal mode of learning this art. However, there is a robust corpus of capoeira tutorials available on YouTube. This paper asks what the function of these videos is. I analyze six comment threads taken from YouTube that exhibit a common pattern, concluding that beyond the video’s utility as a source of information, the comments shared by community insiders serve as an invitation for aspiring students to join the embodied capoeira community, paving the way for their adoption of the underlying ethos of capoeira by socializing them into the ‘anyone can do it if they work hard enough’ discourse that is common in capoeira academies. And while this discourse itself is somewhat deceptive insofar as not everyone can do all of the moves of capoeira – even if they work hard – it is actually the mediating link between technical mastery, which could theoretically be achieved from watching videos, and embodiment of capoeira’s generative grammar, which must be learned in an embodied community setting.
Adubação nitrogenada em pastagens: os resultados promissores obtidos na pesquisa e a realidade enfrentada pelos produtores
Authors: Rosado Thiago Lopes , Gontijo Ivoney
Published: July 2017

As pastagens representam a base da alimentação dos bovinos no Brasil. Porém, os níveis de produtividade obtidos estão muito abaixo daqueles que poderiam ser alcançados com adoção do manejo adequado nas áreas de pastagens. Inúmeros fatores contribuem para esses resultados, com destaque para a baixa disponibilidade de nutrientes. Na literatura, pode-se observar, nas últimas décadas, o grande volume de trabalhos desenvolvidos avaliando a resposta de gramíneas forrageiras tropicais à adubação nitrogenada. No entanto, quando se avaliam as taxas de lotação das pastagens brasileiras, observa-se que essas informações geradas no campo da pesquisa não estão chegando até os produtores rurais.
Jogos digitais e Aprendizagem Híbrida na aprendizagem de idiomas: um estudo de caso com alunos do Ensino Médio
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Elaine
Published: July 2017

O ensino de idiomas nos dias atuais conta com uma das ferramentas oferecidas com o advir tecnológico digital, os jogos digitais. Esse objeto é usado pela grande maioria dos alunos e seu modo atrativo permite que o aprendizado seja significante. Esse método de aprender pode ser considerado como um item de Aprendizagem Híbrida uma vez que os alunos utilizam os jogos para aprender sem a presença física do professor, favorecendo, porém, o aprendizado presencial. Para a constatação dos jogos digitais como ferramenta para o ensino de idiomas e para a Aprendizagem Híbrida, formulou-se um questionário no Google Forms contendo quatro perguntas relativas ao tema deste estudo, o qual foi compartilhado entre 67 entrevistados. É uma pesquisa quantitativa apoiada nas contribuições de Kenski (2007), Mattar (2011), Mendes (2011), Prensky (2012), Tori (2010) entre outros.
O Livreiro de Cabul, a cidadania feminina e o Afeganistão: quando chegará o 1789 do Oriente?
Authors: Altoé André Pizetta
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as relações de gênero em uma sociedade de religião muçulmana como o Afeganistão a partir da obra O Livreiro de Cabul. Para realização deste intento, utiliza-se como referencial teórico o conceito de gênero, o conceito de cidadania proposto por Marshall e a definição de violência simbólica do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu. As conclusões demonstram que em uma cultura fortemente marcada pelo patriarcalismo, as mulheres não possuem os direitos básicos da cidadania - principalmente direitos civis - e são transformadas em bens simbólicos já que podem ser compradas.
O grotesco e a poesia de Vinicius de Moraes
Authors: Gil Daniel
Published: July 2017

Embora Vinicius de Moraes seja conclamado por sua poesia amorosa, sua obra possui, no entanto, outro lado, uma face bizarra e prolífica ainda pouco explorada pelos estudiosos. A tendência que muito de seus versos dispõe para o espectro do anômalo, do feio, do asqueroso, do putrefato é evidente e o torna, com a devida atenção, o maior herdeiro no século XX da poesia grotesca levada a efeito por Cruz e Sousa e Augusto dos Anjos. Essa tendência esbarra igualmente, outras vezes, no riso espontâneo do nonsense, da glutonaria, do escatológico e da incorreção.
