Poéticas da animalidade nas artes visuais e na literatura: potências estéticas para outras relações de alteridade na educação
Authors: Jaeger de Morais Tathiana , Loponte Luciana Gruppelli
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta relações entre animalidade, artes visuais e literatura como potência para pensarmos outras relações de alteridade na educação, a partir de um diálogo entre os campos da arte e da literatura que desacomodam certas verdades sobre como relacionamo-nos com os outros, animais humanos ou não. Tais enlaces estão ligados ao conceito de Poéticas da Animalidade, que irá dar forma e vida a um diálogo entre as provocações ético-estéticas de certas obras da artista visual Ana Teresa Barboza e da escritora Clarice Lispector. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa em educação em conversa com o campo das artes visuais e da literatura, assumimos como parceiros teóricos Derrida (2002; 2004; 2016) e Skliar (2014).
Espaços poéticos como mediação para a narrativa de si
Authors: Bernardes Rosvita Kolb , Pereira Ana Cristina Carvalho
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta o relato e a reflexão da experiência docente no processo de criação gestual e imagética como parte da disciplina “Narrativas de Si e Aprendizagem em Arte”, no Programa de Pós-Graduação da Escola de Belas Artes da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, durante o segundo semestre de 2019. Recorremos como metodologia à análise dos relatos de experiência feito pelos alunos e à rememoração das experiências vividas. A turma era composta de 12 alunos das áreas de Teatro, Dança, Música, Artes Visuais, Moda e Audiovisual, entre doutorandos, mestrandos, alunos de disciplina isolada, além de alguns alunos do Mestrado Profissional – PROFARTES. O papel da Arte e das múltiplas linguagens expressivas na produção de narrativas de si, em contextos de investigação e formação, destaca a pertinência de dispositivos estético e artístico na medialidade biográfica. Com base na proposta do ateliê biográfico, as imagens, os objetos e o trabalho corporal apresentam-se como instrumentos mediadores que potencializam não só a ativação da memória do vivido, mas a matéria e a forma da narrativa estética. Este trabalho relata a necessidade de abertura de espaços e de tempos para os modos próprios de dizer dos alunos, envoltos em múltiplas linguagens e materialidades estéticas. Dá a conhecer a experiência docente que oportuniza aos alunos o debruçar-se sobre o processo vivido na Arte, ao longo de suas vidas. Metodologicamente, privilegia narrativas em imagens, com elementos pictóricos e com o corpo em movimento, em que a lembrança do vivido amplifica-se no questionamento reflexivo, interpelando para compreender as práticas de si na existência revelada
O local e as emoções suscitadas: experiência estética no imaginário urbano de Tubarão, Santa Catarina
Authors: Moraes Heloisa Juncklaus Preis , Fernandes Ana Caroline Voltolini
Published: July 2020

Este artigo analisa, a partir do projeto municipal Domingo na Rua, os deslocamentos que estetizam as múltiplas interações com a cidade e sua condição pública, em função das diferentes lógicas de relação com os espaços. Assim, descrevemos a percepção da cidade a partir da experiência de sua apreciação estética, reconhecendo marcas das interpretações das dinâmicas culturais, sociais e ambientais em um exercício de etnografia de rua (ROCHA e ECKERT, 2013). Buscamos perceber se as pessoas que são atraídas pela experiência estética do fechamento da rua percebem a cidade de maneira diferente, expressando a alteração de sentido e simbolização da cidade, já que a rua deixa de ter um fluxo funcional, de comércio e trânsito, para permitir um lugar de vivência popular e integradora do imaginário da cidade. Em última análise esta passa a ser uma experiência que forja o imaginário urbano e é uma prática de educar para a imaginação (contato com a natureza, espaço público de lazer, relações sociais, atividades ao ar livre).
Effect of Global Fund financial support for patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
Authors: Watthananukul T. , Liabsuetrakul T. , Pungrassami P. , Chongsuvivatwong V.
Published: July 2020

SETTING: The Global Fund provides financial support for patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), patients' families and hospitals providing services for these patients in Thailand, but the impact of this support has not been evaluated.OBJECTIVE: To
assess the impact of Global Fund financial support on drug adherence, out-of-pocket (OOP) payments, sputum culture conversion and the perception of the usefulness of this support.DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in eight provincial hospitals with and without financial
support in four regions of Thailand. MDR-TB patients aged ≥15 years registered in 2015–2016 who received treatment at these hospitals for at least 6 months were included.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in drug adherence rates. The OOP payments during treatment
were significantly lower in patients who received financial support (P < 0.001). Although the supported group had higher positive culture rates at the beginning of treatment, sputum converted at a faster rate than for the unsupported group (P = 0.034). More than 80% of both
groups perceived financial support as being useful, leading to faster diagnosis and improving follow-up compliance.CONCLUSION: Financial support for MDR-TB patients has a positive impact on treatment and should be continued.
CureTB and continuity of care for globally mobile patients
Authors: Figueroa A. , Vonnahme L. , Burrell K. , Vera-García C. , Gulati R. K.
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND: In 2016, 3% of newly diagnosed patients with tuberculosis (TB) left the United States, of whom 24% moved to Mexico. Continuity of care for TB is important to ensure patients complete treatment and reduce TB transmission. CureTB provides continuity of care for patients
with TB who move out of the United States by referring them for care at their destination.METHODS: Analysis of CureTB data collected between January 2012 to December 2015 to describe demographics and outcomes of referred patients and examine factors contributing to successful treatment
outcomes.RESULTS: CureTB received 1347 referrals mostly from health departments and law enforcement agencies in the United States (92%). A total of 858 referrals were for patients with verified or possible TB (64%). Most patients moved to Mexico or other Latin American countries
(96%) and completed treatment after departing (78%). Poor treatment outcomes were associated with being in custody (33%), not being interviewed by CureTB (30%), and not having diabetes (18%).CONCLUSION: CureTB successfully promoted transnational continuity of care for patients by
exchanging information with international public health authorities and linking them directly with patients. This patient-centered strategy helps improve TB treatment success and reduce the global burden and transmission of TB.

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the impact of tuberculosis (TB) treatment on lung function is scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate post-treatment sequelae in drug-susceptible and drug-resistant-TB (DR-TB) cases in Mexico and Italy.METHODS: At the end of TB treatment
the patients underwent complete clinical assessment, functional evaluation of respiratory mechanics, gas exchange and a 6-minute walking test. Treatment regimens (and definitions) recommended by the World Health Organization were used throughout.RESULTS: Of 61 patients, 65.6% had
functional impairment, with obstruction in 24/61 patients (39.4%), and 78% with no bronchodilator response. These effects were more prevalent among DR-TB cases (forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity [FEV1/FVC] < lower limit of normality, 14/24 vs. 10/34; P
= 0.075). DR-TB patients showed moderately severe (FEV1 < 60%) and severe obstruction (FEV1 < 50%) (P = 0.008). Pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV1 and FEV1/FVC (% of predicted) were significantly lower among DR-TB cases. Plethysmography
abnormalities (restriction, hyperinflation and/or air trapping) were more frequent among DR-TB cases (P = 0.001), along with abnormal carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) (P = 0.003).CONCLUSION: The majority of TB patients suffer the consequences of post-treatment
sequelae (of differing levels), which compromise quality of life, exercise tolerance and long-term prognosis. It is therefore important that lung function is comprehensively evaluated post-treatment to identify patient needs for future medication and pulmonary rehabilitation.
MicroRNAs in Platelets: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Authors: Águila Sonia , Cuenca-Zamora Ernesto , Martínez Constantino , Teruel-Montoya Raúl
Published: July 2020

In this chapter, we discuss different topics always using the microRNA as the guiding thread of the review. MicroRNAs, member of small noncoding RNAs family, are an important element involved in gene expression. We cover different issues such as their importance in the differentiation and maturation of megakaryocytes (megakaryopoiesis), as well as the role in platelets formation (thrombopoiesis) focusing on the described relationship between miRNA and critical myeloid lineage transcription factors such as RUNX1, chemokines receptors as CRCX4, or central hormones in platelet homeostasis like TPO, as well as its receptor (MPL) and the TPO signal transduction pathway, that is JAK/STAT. In addition to platelet biogenesis, we review the microRNA participation in platelets physiology and function. This review also introduces the use of miRNAs as biomarkers of platelet function since the detection of pathogenic situations or response to therapy using these noncoding RNAs is getting increasing interest in disease management. Finally, this chapter describes the participation of platelets in cellular interplay, since extracellular vesicles have been demonstrated to have the ability to deliver microRNAs to others cells, modulating their function through intercellular communication, redefining the extracellular vesicles from the so-called “platelet dust” to become mediators of intercellular communication.
Fillers for Packaging Applications
Authors: Otavio Rissi Giovani
Published: July 2020

Packaging in general is frequently overlooked and demonized. The lack of educational programs and efficient waste treatment lead packaging to be treated as an environmental problem. However, packaging is an enabler of our society because it makes feasible the availability of any and every good, regardless of its production location. Furthermore, the packaging business plays a significant role in the global economy, following a continuous trend of growth. The use of fillers in various packaging types can be a valuable resource not only for reducing its cost but also improving its mechanical strength (therefore reducing the number of raw materials required for making that specific package), improving its visual properties to ensure customer attractiveness, creating new possibilities of use, and extending the shelf life of perishable foods. However, the use of fillers in packaging should be made in a way that permits proper recovery and recycling after use.
Pulsed Electrical Discharge and Pulsed Electric Field Treatment during Sunflower Seed Processing
Authors: Shorstkii Ivan , Koshevoi Evgeny
Published: July 2020

For the successful implementation of emerging electrical technologies in the oil pressing process, optimization of process parameters in combination with parameters from electrical process is crucial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the following pretreatments: pulsed electrical discharge (PED) and pulsed electric field (PEF) on rheological properties, morphological capillary-porous structure, and oil recovery of sunflower seed. FESEM analysis of the surface microstructure, pressing, and solvent extraction were used to obtain treatment efficiency after novel technologies. The results of this study show that PED and PEF treatments could be used as a pretreatment before sunflower seed processing to modify internal structure, increase the oil yield, or contribute to the mechanical destruction of oil globules and the release of free oil to the surface under gentle conditions.
Business Environment: Designing and Explaining the New Environmental Dynamism Model in Pharmacies
Authors: Rezai Bijan , Delangizan Sohrab , Khodaei Atieh
Published: July 2020

: The present study aimed to propose and elaborate on a new model for business environmental dynamism in pharmacies. The concept of business environmental dynamism was considered to determine the influential factors and operational strategies for the improvement of the performance of small enterprises (i.e., pharmacies) in environmental dynamism. The study was conducted using a qualitative and quantitative method; content analysis was used in the qualitative section, and confirmatory factor analysis was employed in the quantitative section. The sample population of the qualitative section included valid scientific databases during 2000-2020 regarding environmental turbulence and environmental dynamism. In the quantitative section, a survey was performed on 80 owners of the pharmacies located in Kermanshah city, Iran. In the qualitative section regarding the environmental dynamism dimension of environmental turbulence, the two components of market turbulence and technological turbulence were identified and validated, as well as six sub-components. As a result, the conceptual model was extracted, and the high validity and reliability of the researcher-made questionnaire of environmental dynamism were confirmed. According to the results of confirmatory factor analysis, the instrument has a good fit. In addition, the insignificance of the paths resulted in determining the appropriateness of the structural research model.
The Explanatory Indispensability of Memory Traces
Authors: De Brigard Felipe ,   The Harvard Review of Philosophy
Published: July 2020

During the first half of the twentieth century, many philosophers of memory opposed the postulation of memory traces based on the claim that a satisfactory account of remembering need not include references to causal processes involved in recollection. However, in 1966, an influential paper by Martin and Deutscher showed that causal claims are indeed necessary for a proper account of remembering. This, however, did not settle the issue, as in 1977 Malcolm argued that even if one were to buy Martin and Deutscher’s argument for causal claims, we still don’t need to postulate the existence of memory traces. This paper reconstructs the dialectic between realists and anti-realists about memory traces, suggesting that ultimately realists’ arguments amount to inferences to the best explanation. I then argue that Malcolm’s anti-realist strategy consists in the suggestion that causal explanations that do not invoke memory traces are at least as good as those that do. But then, Malcolm, I argue that there are a large number of memory phenomena for which explanations that do not postulate the existence of memory traces are definitively worse than explanations that do postulate them. Next, I offer a causal model based on an interventionist framework to illustrate when memory traces can help to explain memory phenomena and proceed to substantiate the model with details coming from extant findings in the neuroscience of memory.
Colour Relations in Black and White
Authors: Davies Will ,   The Harvard Review of Philosophy
Published: July 2020

I argue that it is possible to perceptually represent colour relations between two objects, without perceptually representing their colours. Such primitive relational colour representation (PRCR) goes against the orthodox view that we represent colour relations by virtue of representing colours. I first argue that under certain assumptions, PRCR is conceptually and even nomically possible. I then compare two possible models of PRCR: the linguaform model and chromatic edge model, the latter involving iconic rather than discursive representation. I argue that the chromatic edge model gives a better account of putative cases of PRCR in cerebral achromatopsia, a rare disorder of colour consciousness.
Intervention, Fixation, and Supervenient Causation
Authors: Zhong Lei ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: July 2020

A growing number of philosophers are bringing interventionism into the field of supervenient causation. Many argue that interventionist supervenient causation is exempted from the fixability condition. However, this approach looks ad hoc, inconsistent with the general interventionist requirement on fixation. Moreover, it leads to false judgments about the causal efficacy of supervenient/subvenient properties. This article aims to develop a novel interventionist account of supervenient causation that respects the fixability requirement. The treatment of intervention and fixation that I propose can accommodate some theoretical constraints on causation and deliver correct causal verdicts in classic examples. It is also worth noting that this interventionist account offers a promising defense of mental causation without postulating mental-physical overdetermination.
A Counterexample to Modus Ponenses
Authors: Mandelkern Matthew ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: July 2020

McGee (1985) argued that modus ponens was invalid for the natural language conditional ‘If…then…’. Many subsequent responses have argued that, while McGee’s examples show that modus ponens fails to preserve truth, they do not show that modus ponens fails to preserve rational full acceptance, and thus modus ponens may still be valid in the latter informational sense. I show that when we turn our attention from indicative conditionals (the focus of most of the literature to date) to subjunctive conditionals, we find that modus ponens does not preserve either truth or rational full acceptance, and thus is not valid in either sense. In concluding I briefly consider how we can account for these facts.

Authors: Vujaković Jelena , Radenović Stojan
Published: July 2020

Introduction/purpose: This paper establishes some new results of Piri-Kumam-Dung-type mappings in a complete metric space.The goal was to improve the already published results. Methods: Using the property of a strictly increasing function as well as the known Lemma formulated in (Radenović et al, 2017), the authors have proved that a Picard sequence is a Cauchy sequence. Results: New results were obtained concerning the F-contraction mappings of S in a complete metric space. To prove it, the authors used only property (W1). Conclusion:The authors believe that the obtained results represent a significant improvement of many known results in the existing literature.

Published: July 2020

O araçá (Psidium cattleianum Sabine) é uma espécie frutífera nativa que possui importância econômica na indústria alimentícia e farmacêutica. Diante disto, há necessidade de produzir mudas de qualidade capazes de atender às demandas de mercado. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência do ambiente de crescimento e o uso do adubo de lenta liberação Osmocote® no desenvolvimento de mudas de araçá. Sementes de araçá foram coletadas em março de 2015 e germinadas. Depois de cerca de 90 dias, as mudas foram dispostas segundo os tratamentos que receberam. Os tratamentos consistiram em cinco doses de adubo (0; 3,0; 6,0; 9,0 e 12,0 g L-1) combinados com dois ambientes de viveiro (casa de vegetação e sombrite 50%) em esquema fatorial 5 x 2. Aos 210 dias avaliou-se altura de mudas (cm), diâmetro de colo (mm); peso seco de parte aérea e raiz (g) e índice de clorofila (SPAD). Houve interação dos fatores para a maioria das variáveis, com exceção do índice de clorofila. A dose intermediária do adubo implicou na melhor performance de crescimento de mudas em quase todas as ocasiões, assim como o ambiente sombreado. Para mudas de araçá, recomenda-se o uso de 6 mg L-1 de adubo e o uso de telado de sombrite para seu crescimento.

Este estudo teve como objetivos avaliar a composição florística e a estrutura fitossociológica de uma área de preservação permanente em Floresta Ombrófila Mista Aluvial no Planalto Catarinense e indicar espécies arbóreas potenciais para a restauração de áreas em locais com características semelhantes. A área de estudo localiza-se no município de Otacílio Costa, SC, nas margens do rio Canoas. Para o levantamento florístico foram alocadas 24 parcelas de 10 m x 10 m, nas quais todos os indivíduos com CAP ≥ 5 cm foram medidos, identificados e quantificados seus descritores fitossociológicos. A diversidade foi avaliada utilizando-se o índice diversidade de Shannon-Wiener (H’) e equabilidade de Pielou (J). Foram identificados 547 indivíduos, pertencentes a 22 famílias, distribuídos em 34 gêneros. Myrtaceae e Asteraceae foram às famílias de maior riqueza. Quanto à guilda de regeneração a maioria das espécies foi classificada em pioneira (45%), secundária inicial e secundária tardia (26% cada). Em relação à síndrome de dispersão as espécies foram classificadas em zoocóricas (71%), anemocóricas (26%) e autocóricas (3%). O índice de diversidade de Shannon-Wiener foi de 2,9 e o índice de equabilidade foi de 0,78. As espécies que apresentaram os maiores valores de importância, com potencial para restauração florestal, foram Mimosa scabrella, Schinus terebinthifolius e Gymnanthes klotzschiana.
Il diritto di morire tra autodeterminazione terapeutica, trasformazione della sovranità e rifiuto sociale della morte
Authors: Iannello Carlo
Published: July 2020

L'articolo analizza la recente ordinanza della Corte costirtuzionale italiana, la n. 207 del 2018, che apre allsa legittimità costituzionale, in determinate circostanze, dell'aiuto al suicidio, letta come indicativa di una generale e recente tendenza volta a dare accoglimento a queste forme di autodeterminazione in un numero sempre crescente di paesi. Sulla base di questo presupposto, l'articolo cerca di comprendere se questa sempre più diffusa richiesta di un diritto di morire si fondi su motivazioni più complesse che affondano le loro radici nelle modificazioni delle forme del potere nelle società occidentali. Un potere sempre più rivolto alla regolazione delle vite delle persone trova infatti nella morte un ambito privo di interesse, e può pertanto agevolmente riconoscere un diritto di morire. Infine si domanda se questo nuovo diritto di autodeterminazione sia effettivamente in grado di incidere in modo sensibile sull'aspetto più crudele del morire nella società contemporanea che è rappresentato dalla solitudine del morente, relegato negli ospedali e allontanato dai luoghi degli affetti.

Published: July 2020

El estudio analiza los resultados más relevantes de la investigación realizada con docentes de educación primaria, en referencia al modelo TPACK. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la autopercepción de los docentes de primaria en servicio, con respecto a su capacitación tecnológica, tomando como referencia la escala de diagnóstico TPACK. Para la recopilación de información, se adaptó un cuestionario tipo Likert ya validado, siguiendo el modelo TPACK. El cuestionario está compuesto por 47 ítems que recopilan información de las siete dimensiones del modelo. La muestra está formada por 607 docentes. La investigación es de naturaleza descriptiva no experimental, y realiza un análisis de varianza multivariante (MANOVA). Los resultados más significativos han sido el hallazgo de diferencias con respecto al género de los participantes. En general, son los hombres los que tienen una mayor percepción de sí mismos con respecto al uso y la integración de las TIC en su práctica docente, especialmente en asuntos científicos. Las mujeres parecen ser más efectivas cuando seleccionan enfoques para guiar el aprendizaje y el pensamiento del estudiante en términos de lectura y escritura.

Percepciones y representaciones de la figura heroica e incidencias identitarias en el colectivo adolescente: un estudio de caso desde la Educación Artística
Authors: Sol Jódar Raúl
Published: July 2020

La irrupción durante los últimos años de nuevas formas de comunicación y entretenimiento han ofrecido la posibilidad de interactuar con referentes icónicos muy diversos, de manera que las fuentes de absorción de nociones sobre la realidad se han multiplicado, ofreciendo un abanico de oportunidades extenso sobre el que comprender esta y construir la identidad personal. En este sentido, la narrativa transmedia ha acabado con el estatismo de los modos pasados y actualmente la sociedad y, en concreto, el colectivo adolescente, se nutre de influencias a través de casi cualquier dispositivo de forma ininterrumpida. Al mismo tiempo, la producción y consumo de historias ha sido una constante recurrente que pervive en la existencia del ser humano, en cuyo seno se narran las vicisitudes de una serie de personajes postulados a ganarse el favor del público: las figuras heroicas. No obstante, ¿qué concepto de heroicidad tiene nuestro alumnado? ¿A qué perfiles profesa admiración? ¿De cuáles reconoce influencia? ¿Dónde encuentra sus referentes o modelos de conducta? En un contexto gobernado por la imagen, donde su poder de persuasión y su capacidad de transmisión simbólica son innegables, la educación visual se convierte en una tarea ineludible de la educación formal, específicamente a través de las herramientas de las enseñanzas artísticas. Esta indagación llevada a cabo a partir de un estudio de caso se posiciona como una aproximación al establecimiento de las interrelaciones existentes entre la construcción del "yo" del estudiantado y el papel del consumo mediatizado en lo relativo a las figuras heroicas y sus rasgos actuales, al tiempo que se pone en valor el potencial de la Educación Artística, en su perfil formativo y como disciplina investigadora.

To the question of legal nature and directions of social control
Authors: Purge Anna Rolandovna
Published: July 2020

Examination of the legal nature of social control is one of the key trends in its development, while maintaining a balance between democratic and humanistic values on the one hand, and requirements of imperative and authoritative-compulsory method of public administration on the other. The object of this research is the questions related to realization of social control in the Russian Federation. The subjects of this research became the public relations associated with the grounds and order of execution of social control in the Russian Federation. Research methodology contains the general scientific methods (of sociology, political science and logic) along with special legal methods, namely the methods of legal-systematic analysis. Current social processes are characterize by two oppositely directed trends: on one side, strengthening of the middle class, layer of business owners and self-employed citizens, development of the element of capitalism; while on other side – the complication of social life, demand for the new and more effective means of administrative control, which is reflected by epidemic situation in Russia. Therefore, the conducted assessment of development capacity of social control should consider its impact (which is not always positive) on the capabilities of public administration. An attempt is made to align the development of social control with the demand for improvement of administrative regimes.
Social organizations with law enforcement focus in Russia (emergence and development)
Authors: Cherenkov Aleksei Nikolaevich
Published: July 2020

The object of this research is the social organizations with law enforcement focus. The subject of this research is the history of emergence and development of the institutions of social organizations with law enforcement focus. Comprehensive analysis of legal and organizational grounds in exercising citizens right to unionization is carried out. Application of the historical-legal method allowed viewing the conception, reorganization and termination of activity (at certain stage of development of the country), and then new development of social organizations with law enforcement focus. The formal-legal method was used for determination of legal status of the social institutions. Having legal confirmation, or at times emerging upon the initiative of citizens themselves due to inability of the local authorities to establish legal order, the population united for rendering assistance to the bodies of internal affairs with regards to public order maintenance. Taking diverse forms at different historical periods, social organizations with law enforcement focus continue to develop and improve, accumulating practical experience in counteracting criminality. The government, in turn, creates all essential legal conditions for voluntary participation of the citizens of the Russian Federation in public order maintenance. Direct participation in prevention of legal offences committed in public places, as well as holding preventative conversations with the wrongdoers, allows the population to broaden their knowledge in the field of law, as well give credibility to law enforcement authorities, which positively influences the formation of public opinion on the work of police overall.
Children as digital citizens: Closing the gap on parental engagement
Authors: Morgan Natalie
Published: July 2020

As technology users become progressively younger, the frequency of exposure and risk in the use of technology continues to increase worldwide. Internationally, digital citizenship is growing rapidly. As students enter primary school already a part of this technological explosion, educative
policies and practices are expanding to younger year levels. Schools progressively find themselves taking a lead role in supporting their entire community’s development as digital citizens. It is timely to ask about the effectiveness of their approaches to doing so, and to consider the
challenges ahead in both school and at home. This paper examines the curriculum, theories, research and practicalities relating to children as digital citizens. This article suggests that the active role children play in influencing and facilitating the nature and extent of their technological
and personal relationships is attributed to a three-way relationship between teacher, student and parent. Much remains to be done regarding parental engagement and involvement in parent-school relationships to ensure the safety and physical and mental health of our children. Schools and teachers
can support parental engagement by continuously building and rebuilding partnerships to connect learning, digital knowledge and competence at home and at school, so as to provide children and adolescents with the right tools. As schools and their communities become increasingly reliant on
digital technology, providing effective links through education and information on digital literacies and fluency offers children a network of support.
Five genes influenced by obesity may contribute to the development of thyroid cancer through the regulation of insulin levels
Authors: Chen Jiaming , Cao Hongbao , Lian Meng , Fang Jugao
Published: July 2020

Previous studies indicate that obesity is an important contributor to the proceeding of thyroid cancer (TC) with limited knowledge of the underlying mechanism. Here, we hypothesize that molecules affected by obesity may play roles in the development of TC. To test the hypothesis above, we first conducted a large-scale literature-based data mining to identify genes influenced by obesity and genes related to TC. Then, a mega-analysis was conducted to study the expression changes of the obesity-specific genes in the case of TC, using 16 independent TC array-expression datasets (783 TC cases and 439 healthy controls). After that, pathway analysis was performed to explore the functional profile of the selected target genes and their potential connections with TC. We identified 1,036 genes associated with TC and 534 regulated by obesity, demonstrating a significant overlap (N = 176, p-value = 4.07e−112). Five out of the 358 obesity-specific genes, FABP4, CFD, GHR, TNFRSF11B, and LTF, presented significantly decreased expression in TC patients (LFC<−1.44; and p-value < 1e−7). Multiple literature-based pathways were identified where obesity could promote the pathologic development of TC through the regulation of these five genes and INS levels. The five obesity genes uncovered could be novel genes that play roles in the etiology of TC through the modulation of INS levels.

Background

The Mediterranean swordfish stock is overfished and considered not correctly managed. Elucidating the patterns of the Mediterranean swordfish population structure constitutes an essential prerequisite for effective management of this fishery resource. To date, few studies have investigated intra-Mediterranean swordfish population structure, and their conclusions are controversial.

Methods

A panel of 20 microsatellites DNA was used to investigate fine-scale population structuring of swordfish from six main fishing areas of the Mediterranean Sea.

Results

This study provides evidence to reject the hypothesis of a single swordfish population within the Mediterranean Sea. DAPC analysis revealed the presence of three genetic clusters and a high level of admixture within the Mediterranean Sea. Genetic structure was supported by significantFSTvalues while mixing was endorsed by the heterozygosity deficit observed in sampling localities indicative of a possible Wahlund effect, by sampling admixture individuals. Overall, our tests reject the hypothesis of a single swordfish population within the Mediterranean Sea. Homing towards the Mediterranean breeding areas may have generated a weak degree of genetic differentiation between populations even at the intra-basin scale.

The geographic distributions of some coastal marine species have appeared as cosmopolitan ever since they were first scientifically documented. In particular, for many benthic species that are associated with anthropogenic substrata, there is much speculation as to whether or not their broad distributions can be explained by natural mechanisms of dispersal. Here, we focused on two congeneric coastal crustaceans with cosmopolitan distributions—the tube-dwelling amphipodsJassa marmorataandJassa slatteryi. Both species are common elements of marine biofouling on nearly all kinds of artificial hard substrata in temperate to warm seas. We hypothesized that the two species’ modern occurrences across the oceans are the result of human shipping activities that started centuries ago. Mitochondrial DNA sequences of the CO1 fragment of specimens from distinct marine regions around the world were analysed, evaluating genetic structure and migration models and making inferences on putative native ranges of the twoJassaspecies. Populations of both species exhibited considerable genetic diversity with differing levels of geographic structure. For both species, at least two dominant haplotypes were shared among several geographic populations. Rapid demographic expansion and high migration rates between geographically distant regions support a scenario of ongoing dispersal all over the world. Our findings indicate that the likely former native range ofJ. marmoratais the Northwest Atlantic, whereas the likely former native range ofJ. slatteryiis the Northern Pacific region. As corroborated by the genetic connectivity between populations, shipping still appears to be the more successful vector of the two species’ dispersal when compared to natural mechanisms. Historical invasion events that likely started centuries ago, along with current ongoing dispersal, confirm these species’ identities as true “neocosmopolitans”.
Toxicity thresholds of three insecticides and two fungicides to larvae of the coralAcropora tenuis

Published: July 2020

Tropical marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs, face several threats to their health and resilience, including poor water quality. Previous studies on the risks posed by pesticides have focused on five priority herbicides; however, as the number of pesticides applied in coastal agriculture increases, a suite of ‘alternative’ pesticides is being detected in tropical nearshore waters. To improve our understanding of the risks posed by alternative pesticides to tropical marine organisms, the effects of three insecticides (diazinon, fipronil, imidacloprid) and two fungicides (chlorothalonil, propiconazole) were tested on larval metamorphosis of the coralAcropora tenuis.A. tenuislarvae were affected by all five pesticides and the reference toxicant copper. The no effect concentration (NEC) and the 10% and 50% effect concentrations (EC10and EC50, respectively) for larval metamorphosis were estimated from concentration-response curves after 48 h exposure. The NEC, EC10and EC50(in µg L−1), respectively, of each pesticide were as follows: chlorothalonil (2.4, 2.8, 6.0); fipronil (12.3, 13.9, 29.1); diazinon (38.0, 40.8, 54.7); imidacloprid (263, 273, 347); and propiconazole (269, 330, 1008). These toxicity thresholds are higher than reported concentrations in monitoring programs; however, these data will contribute to improving water quality guideline values, which inform the total risk assessments posed by complex contaminant mixtures to which these pesticides contribute.
Excessive G–U transversions in novel allele variants in SARS-CoV-2 genomes
Authors: Panchin Alexander Y. , Panchin Yuri V.
Published: July 2020

Background

SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 infection, with a closest known relative found in bats. For this virus, hundreds of genomes have been sequenced. This data provides insights into SARS-CoV-2 adaptations, determinants of pathogenicity and mutation patterns. A comparison between patterns of mutations that occurred before and after SARS-CoV-2 jumped to human hosts may reveal important evolutionary consequences of zoonotic transmission.

Methods

We used publically available complete genomes of SARS-CoV-2 to calculate relative frequencies of single nucleotide variations. These frequencies were compared with relative substitutions frequencies between SARS-CoV-2 and related animal coronaviruses. A similar analysis was performed for human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and HKU1.

Results

We found a 9-fold excess of G–U transversions among SARS-CoV-2 mutations over relative substitution frequencies between SARS-CoV-2 and a close relative coronavirus from bats (RaTG13). This suggests that mutation patterns of SARS-CoV-2 have changed after transmission to humans. The excess of G–U transversions was much smaller in a similar analysis for SARS-CoV and non-existent for HKU1. Remarkably, we did not find a similar excess of complementary C–A mutations in SARS-CoV-2. We discuss possible explanations for these observations.
Propostas alternativas para cemitérios urbanos enquanto santuários e espaços de memória na contemporaneidade
Authors: Rothstein Karla Maria
Published: July 2020

Frente aos danos urbanos e ambientais que as práticas tradicionais de destino aos cadáveres, como sepultamento e cremação, vêm causando ao meio ambiente, o presente artigo parte da identificação de alguns métodos considerados mais ecológicos, desenvolvidos nos últimos anos, com o objetivo de propiciar um retorno orgânico e sustentável do cadáver à terra. O texto reflete sobre a maneira como estas novas tecnologias estimulam o desenvolvimento de propostas inovadoras de design, por parte de uma equipe de arquitetos de Nova York, para a criação de memoriais com duração temporária, como espaços efêmeros de culto aos mortos por parte de famílias, parentes e amigos enlutados. Instalados em espaços públicos nas grandes capitais, tais memoriais visam integrar os mortos e sua memória na vida cotidiana, por meio de projetos ambientalmente sustentáveis. Estes novos cemitérios urbanos, reconfiguram a morte, diante da superlotação das necrópoles tradicionais e da exiguidade dos espaços destinados aos mortos.
E quando é morto o imperador? Batalhas memoriais nos funerais de D. Pedro II (1891)
Authors: Fagundes Luciana Pessanha
Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os debates e as manifestações ocorridas durante as cerimônias fúnebres de D. Pedro II, em dezembro de 1891. Um momento marcado por intensas disputas memoriais, cujo cerne envolvia o lugar que esse personagem, símbolo da Monarquia, iria ocupar no passado, que a República brasileira construía. Apesar de os funerais de D. Pedro II terem ocorrido em Paris e Lisboa, o ritual fúnebre foi acompanhado no Brasil, por meio da imprensa, que tratou também de divulgar as inúmeras missas e manifestações aqui realizadas, publicando extensos necrológios sobre o imperador. Como um espaço de luta simbólica, marcado por diferentes interesses e interpretações, a imprensa consistiu em um dos importantes atores envolvidos nesse momento.

Trocas e reconfigurações religiosas no Baixo Congo: poder e morte entre chineses e bacongos
Authors: Cunha Ana Stela de Almeida
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta reflexões acerca dos recentes contatos religiosos entre chineses no Baixo Congo e membros de uma modalidade de sociedade secreta entre os Maniangas. O texto está pautado em uma etnografia que inclui relatos e histórias orais, inclusive dos Bacongos imigrantes em Lisboa, Portugal. Como num caderno de campo, teço considerações a respeito dos relatos sobre reavivamento de mortos, tráfico de órgãos e uma possível reconfiguração religiosa a partir destes encontros, em um diálogo constante com a literatura pertinente. O texto aporta uma nova forma de vislumbrar as relações sino-africanas, para além da perspectiva estritamente econômica.
