Participant Reflections on Narrative Training Programs in the Indian Context
Authors: Baldiwala Jehanzeb , Kanakia Trishala , Nayar Shoba
Published: August 2022

There has been growing interest in the use of narrative therapy in various settings across India. This study sought to understand the benefits of narrative training programs, facilitated by the mental health team at Ummeed Child Development Center located in Mumbai, India; specifically, how program participants are using narrative ideas and practices in their work contexts. Twenty participants, who had completed different forms of long-term narrative training, were engaged in semistructured interviews. Thematic analysis of the data brought forward three themes: Shift in Practice and Philosophy, Shift in Stance as Therapist/Supervisor, and Shift in Personal Lives. Findings reveal that while narrative trainings are emergent in India, the use of narrative ideas and practices has brought encouraging outcomes in diverse work contexts. The study highlights that culturally relevant narrative trainings foster shifts in understanding of counseling, and invite collaboration and agency in therapy, supervision, and personal contexts of participants’ lives.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar concepções de sistemas de automação para o acionamento de comportas de elevadoras de nível de um perímetro de irrigação. As elevadoras de nível têm como finalidade controlar o nível de água à montante de um canal, permitindo que haja diferença de nível suficiente para que a água escoe até os canais secundários e para as lavouras adjacentes. Como estudo de caso utilizou-se as estruturas do Perímetro de Irrigação do Arroio Duro, onde o acionamento destas são feitas de forma manual. A automatização do acionamento das comportas destas estruturas poderá facilitar a operação de manejo da água, aumentando com isso a eficiência do perímetro de irrigação. As concepções propostas foram analisadas a partir do seu sistema de comando considerando um sistema de acionamento hidráulico, além disso, um protótipo físico foi testado em laboratório para testar a viabilidade funcional do sistema. A partir das análises funcionais realizadas no protótipo físico conclui-se que as concepções de projeto são adequadas para diferentes níveis de automação do sistema, e que a automação com sistema por CLP é o mais flexível e adequado para implementar um sistema de controle e automação das comportas de elevadoras de nível.

Dance Movement Therapy in the Time of COVID-19
Authors: Serlin Ilene A. , Zhou Grace
Published: August 2022

During the time of COVID-19, many therapists tried to help with the trauma and suffering caused by lockdowns and loss of life. Dance movement therapy is a nonverbal, symbolic way of helping people use creativity, rhythm and attunement to cope with trauma and loss, and can be an effective means for personal and community transformation. During COVID-19, two dance therapists and mental health professions from the United States and China created Zoom Tool Kits that were used on a hotline in China and internationally to express grief and recover resilience. Here we explain those efforts to use dance movement therapy for trauma recovery.
Vera Lynn Sings: Domesticity, Glamour, and National Belonging on 1950s British Television
Authors: Baade Christina
Published: August 2022

In the late 1950s, musical variety shows on television played a critical role in the careers of numerous singers, particularly women working in mainstream pop. Some even hosted their own shows, becoming “television personalities,” a new type of performer skilled at conveying televisual authenticity and intimacy. We can better understand the significance of these often overlooked singers by recentering the role of television in their careers. This article takes as its case study the British singer Vera Lynn and Vera Lynn Sings, the lavishly produced, prime-time musical variety show that she hosted from 1956 to 1959 and that was the centerpiece of her exclusive, multi-year contract with the British Broadcasting Corporation. By examining her star persona on the show, the article offers a corrective to accounts of Lynn’s long life as a public figure, which tend to emphasize her fame as a singer in World War II while skimming over her accomplished career in the decades that followed. Drawing upon production documents and scripts at the BBC Written Archives Centre, together with press sources, this article argues that Vera Lynn Sings helped shape popular notions of British national identity in the late 1950s. Through its musical, performative, and visual strategies, the show offered a vision of national belonging that placed aspirational, white, feminine domesticity at the center. Anchored by Lynn’s sincere persona and sentimental songs, the show’s intimate address and musical repertoire welcomed a “family” audience across lines of gender, class, and age, while simultaneously reinforcing racist and colonial definitions of national belonging.
Buckra: Whiteness and Porgy and Bess
Authors: West Kai
Published: August 2022

Questions of race have been central to an understanding of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess (1935), yet the opera’s portrayal of whiteness remains an aspect hidden in plain sight. While focusing on a Black community living under Jim Crow segregation, the work also features five white characters—a Detective and two police officers, a Coroner, and a lawyer—whose actions affect the lives of the people of Catfish Row in three often overlooked sections of the opera. Through close readings of the score, literary antecedents, and recorded as well as live performances, this article examines the relational role that whiteness plays in the compositional architecture and production history of Porgy and Bess. To show how the opera’s complex social dynamics are embedded in its musical structure, I employ an interdisciplinary approach combining musicological analysis with critical race theory, which pinpoints racial formation as a key component of Gershwin’s score. The article’s central analysis of the score reveals nuanced portrayals of Jim Crow race relations, highlighted by both multilayered expressions of white supremacy and powerful moments of Black resistance. These nuances, however, depend on reading the opera in its complete state, yet the three Black/white exchanges are often heavily altered in performance. To further understand how staging these scenes can affect their meanings, I investigate several key productions from across the opera’s history. Concluding with the Metropolitan Opera’s 2019–20 production, I reflect that the depictions of police brutality, white supremacy, and Black resistance in Porgy and Bess are more painfully relevant today than ever before.

Introduction and aim. Recent evidence suggests that inhalation anesthesia (IA) is associated with higher cancer mortality than total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), possibly due to a modulation of the immune response.

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of anesthesia techniques on selected parameters of patient immunity considering the evidence of relationship between the anesthesia methods and immune status and, consequently, the incidence of cancer recurrence.

Methods. We performed a meta-analysis of clinical studies published in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases, aimed at assessing the impact of anesthesia on the postoperative immune status of patients undergoing breast cancer (BC) surgery. Five randomized and three observational studies were included (a total of 637 patients, of which 320 (50.2%) in the TIVA group). Data on leukocyte counts, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 9 and 3, interleukins (IL) 6 and 10 levels, and neutrophil-lymphocyte index (NLI) values were retrieved.

Results. Patients after breast cancer surgery who underwent TIVA had significantly lower white blood cell counts (standardized mean difference (SMD)=–0.32; 95% CI: –0.58 to –0.06; I2=58%, P=0.020) and MMP-9 (SMD=–0.35; 95% CI: –0.67 to –0.03; P=0.030; I2=0%) in the postoperative period compared with patients receiving IA. No significant differences in the levels of MMP-3, IL-6, IL-10, and NLI values were found between the two groups.

Conclusion. The patients who underwent breast cancer surgery under TIVA had lower blood leukocyte counts and levels of MMP-9, which is involved in the remodeling of extracellular matrix, compared with those operated on under IA, suggesting that the anesthesia method may have an impact on the immunity of breast cancer patients.

Published: August 2022

The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of urapidil hydrochloride for the management of abnormal cardiovascular response in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Material and methods. The total of 93 prostate cancer patients scheduled for elective RARP were included and randomized in two groups: urapidil (n=44) and standard anesthesia control group (n=49). Urapidil was used to control the elevated blood pressure intraoperatively. Central hemodynamic monitoring was performed at 5 steps of the surgery.

Results. In the control group, the step 2 of the procedure was associated with elevated mean blood pressure (by 24.3%, P=0.045) and increased total peripheral vascular resistance (by 46.6%, P=0.011) compared with step 1, while in the urapidil group no significant changes in these parameters were found. In the urapidil group, the blood pressure was lower by 20.2% (P=0.047), afterload by 36.9% (P=0.02) vs the control group values, whereas the cardiac output was higher by 22.2% (P=0.043). Placing patient in the steep Trendelenburg position (step 3) resulted in a 22.4% increase in stroke volume (P=0.38) in the control group and a 19.2% increase in stroke volume (P=0.049) in the urapidil group compared with the previous step. Cardiac output in the urapidil group was higher by 34% (P=0.002) and blood pressure and vascular resistance were lower by 24.4% (P=0.031) and 45.7% (P=0.001), respectively, vs the control group. At steps 4 and 5, gradual stabilization of the hemodynamic parameters and peripheral vascular tone with significantly smaller differences between the groups were revealed.

Conclusion. Urapidil was effective for maintaining central hemodynamic parameters in patients during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy at step 2 of the procedure, avoiding blood pressure elevation at step 3 and significantly reducing the total peripheral vascular resistance compared with the control group.

Authors: Tsentsiper L. M. , Terekhov I. S. , Shevelev O. A. , Petrova M. V. , Kondratiev A. N.
Published: August 2022

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is one of the complications of acute severe brain injuries (traumatic brain injury, intracranial hemorrhage, ischemia, and posthypoxic conditions) in both adults and children. Its high incidence and severe sequelae including organ dysfunction, infectious complications, impaired blood supply to organs and tissues associate with increased disability and mortality. The choice of effective therapy can be challenging because of multifaceted manifestations, diagnostic diﬃculties, and lack of a clear understanding of the pathophysiology of PSH. Currently, there are various local and international treatment strategies for PSH.

The aim of the review is to summarize clinical and scientific research data on diagnosis and treatment of PSH to aid in the selection of an effective therapy.

Material and methods. Web of Science, Scopus and RSCI databases were employed to select 80 sources containing relevant clinical and research data on the subject of this review.

Results. The key principles of diagnosis and treatment of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity have been reviewed. The current views on etiology and pathogenesis of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity development were outlined. The clinical data concerning complications and sequelae of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity were analyzed. We conclude the review with a discussion of current methods of the syndrome prevention.

Conclusion. Preventing PSH and its adequate and prompt treatment could help avoid the abnormal pathway development following a severe brain injury, reduce its negative consequences and rate of complications, along with the duration of mechanical lung ventilation, patient's stay in ICU, disability and mortality rates. Careful selection of pathogenetic, symptomatic and supportive therapy significantly improves the rehabilitation potential of patients.

Lo dijo en mi delante. Sobre la construcción «preposición + posesivo + adverbio» en español actual
Authors: Pato Enrique
Published: August 2022

En este trabajo teórico se aborda la descripción de la construcción preposicional con posesivo antepuesto (mi, tu, su) y ‘adverbio’ de lugar (por su delante, en mi delante), un rasgo documentado en las variedades del español andino (Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador y sur de Colombia), pero cuyo uso en español actual se extiende a otras áreas dialectales. El estudio responde a cuatro objetivos: (1) establecer dónde se registra el fenómeno en español actual, en qué persona y número aparece el posesivo antepuesto, qué preposiciones lo encabezan y qué valores se atribuyen a esta construcción; (2) argumentar a favor del carácter nominal del adverbio delante, considerar este fenómeno como uno más dentro de la ‘redundancia’ del español actual y revisar su proceso de analogía y la progresión a otras piezas adverbiales; y (3) reconsiderar la explicación de calco funcional y su normatividad, ante las evidencias de que este fenómeno no contradice los modelos propios de la lengua española.

Summary. In some age groups (e.g. students) and professions (e.g.
police officers), the proportion of smokers is higher than in the general
population. The aim of this study is to assess the smoking habits and heaviness
of nicotine dependence of Hungarian law enforcement students. A cross-sectional,
web-based survey was conducted among law enforcement students at the Faculty of
Law Enforcement of the University of Public Service (n = 180). The heaviness of
nicotine dependence was measured by the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence
(FTND) and the Heaviness of Smoking Index (HSI). Respondents reported 81.1%
lifetime prevalence of smoking, 24.4% were current smokers, and 14.4% were daily
smokers. Based on the FTND, 96.1% of daily smokers had low/very low nicotine
dependence, while based on the HSI, 73.1% of daily smokers had low nicotine
dependence. Smoking among law enforcement students is not a negligible problem,
and it also has significant public health and security aspects.

Significant others in the context of socialization in the modern world
Authors: Litvinenko Yelena , Kapanyan Nina
Published: August 2022

The article considers the role of a significant other in the process of socialization of the younger generation. A distinction is made between the concepts of a significant other and a generalized other based on classical works of G. Mead, I. Goffman, R. Coles, Ch. Cooley, and, also, on some works of contemporary Russian and foreign sociologists. The authors analyze the role of significant others at different levels of socialization — preconventional stage, conventional stage, and postconventional stage. At postconventional stage the ability to reflect on what is “right” or “wrong” appears, that is the formation of moral ideas and the system of values take place. It is emphasized that the role of parents as significant others still remains, but attention is paid to such phenomenon as reversive socialization which is characterized to mediatization of cultural environment, assuming that acquiring of knowledge becomes bilateral. It is underlined the increasing role of digital socialization, under the conditions of which the concepts of agents of socialization and the traditional roles of significant others are being transformed while such agents as Internet, mobile communication, social nets are acquiring special influence. The analysis of modern sociological studies gives the possibility to conclude that in the context of digital socialization such phenomenon as “unknown other” has appeared, fulfilling some socializing functions that used to be characteristic to a significant other. In spite of society secularization, religion still continues to be an important agent of socialization, providing not only patterns of a significant other but also patterns of a generalized other, expressed in archetypes of the savior, canonized saints or the images of epic heroes.
Semantic compatibility of phraseological units: accompanying words and satellite words
Authors: Tihonova Ksenia
Published: August 2022

The article describes the semantic collocability of Russian phraseological units. The main indicators of the combinability of phraseological units have been studied. The different views of linguists on idiom collocability are valence.
Phraseologism does not exist without an environment, isolated, therefore, in the limit of inaccuracies, it is necessary to delimit the words included in the phraseological unit from those that go beyond its scope and environment. Accompanying words included in the obligatory environment of a phraseological unit clarify its semantics and combined properties, and satellite words are also present in the environment of a phraseological unit, but already more distant from it, optional, the scope of the Russian language and are once again found on various compatibility possibilities subject to it. Accompanying phraseological units that are closer in terms of identification, they can be called "comrades", assistants in the implementation of the meanings of phraseological units. Companion words are more distant from phraseological units than accompanying words, words of the environment, which, when used with separate phraseological units, reveal our semantics to a greater extent. The author found out that with the development of polysemy and abstractness of the semantics of accompanying words, their gradual convergence with the components and blurring of the boundaries between phraseological units can occur. Sometimes a satellite word can become a constant companion of a phraseological unit and, as a result, move into the category of accompanying words. Accompanying words and satellite words are a necessary part of a phraseological unit and a dictionary entry of a modern phraseological dictionary of any type. Both traditional and educational dictionaries should not only offer an explanation of the meaning of an unknown word or expression, but also show how to use it correctly in speech. As the title implies the article describes.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with biocomplexed selenium and chromium on the fatty acid profile of the breast and thigh of males and females broilers of the Label Rouge lineage. The experimental design was completely randomized arranged in a 3 x 2 factorial scheme corresponding to three diets (control; 0.40 ppm of chromium; 0.50 ppm of selenium) and two sexes. Each treatment consisted of three plots of five broilers. The fatty acid profile was evaluated in the breast and thigh samples. The addition of biocomplexed selenium in the broilers diets increased the content of long chain fatty acid of the omega 3 and 6 series (docosahexaenoic - DHA and arachidonic acids, respectively), the total of omega 6 and the stearic acid content on the breast (pectoralis major muscle). In addition, selenium supplementation caused a reduction in oleic acid content and in total of monounsaturated in the same muscle. Males had higher contents of linoleic and linolenic acids, and total of polyunsaturated; and lower content of oleic acid, total of monounsaturated and saturated in the thigh. The broilers supplemented with biocomplexed selenium and males presented better lipid quality in the muscle by breast and thigh, respectively.

ABSTRACT: The state of Santa Catarina is the second-largest producer of rice seeds in Brazil. Research on phytopathogenicbacterias in this crop is scarce and the high frequency of panicle diseases leads to the hypothesis that seeds may be infected by bacteria. This research quantified the incidence of bacteria in the seeds, verified the bacteria viability during the storage period and characterized the associated bacteria. Seeds from the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons were analyzed. To check the incidence, the seeds were disinfected, plated on a nutrient agar + fungicide culture medium, and incubated for seven days at 27 °C. To assess viability, every 45 days, three cultivars stored in a processing unit were subjected to the same detection methodology. To characterize, prevalent colonies were isolated on semi-selective culture medium Pantoea genus-specific agar (PGSA), where the ones that showed growth were subjected to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, and sequence comparison on GenBank. The hypersensitivity reaction (HR) in tobacco was performed using a bacterial suspension of each isolate. All seed samples had an average incidence of 83%. During storage, the seeds maintained stable bacterial viability, with an average incidence of 95% at the beginning of storage and 99% at the end of it. All isolates that grew in PGSA culture medium were identified by molecular characterization with 100% identity with two specimens of Pantoeaananatis and one of them induced RH in tobacco.
Spatiotemporal differentiation and spatial correlation of agricultural total factor productivity in China: an estimation based on the data of prefecture-level cities
Authors: Du Lei , Wang Fuwei , Tian Minghua , Zhao Zeyu , Ma Shuang , Wang Fang
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT: The improvement of agricultural TFP is critical to promoting the high-quality development of agriculture. This paper described and identified the spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics and spatial correlation of China’s agricultural TFP in 283 prefecture-level cities from 2001 to 2018 using the Metafroniter-Malmquist and Moran index. The results showed that: (1) From 2001 to 2018, China’s agricultural TFP was 6.64%, and its growth was mainly driven by agricultural technological progress. The contribution of agricultural technological efficiency was small. The growth law showed an “inverted U-shaped” growth trend of first rising and then falling. (2) China’s agricultural TFP has significant characteristics of regional unbalanced growth. (3) The growth rate of agricultural TFP in most prefecture-level cities is medium and slow, and most prefecture-level cities relied on agricultural technological progress to promote growth. (4) The agricultural TFP of various cities showed a significant spatial correlation phenomenon of “high-high” or “low-low.” This study has significant theoretical and practical value for maintaining the stable growth of China’s agricultural TFP and promoting the high-quality development of China’s agriculture.

Authors: Ünal Sabahaddin , Mutlu Ziya , Efe Berna
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to test the two alfalfa advanced populations (L-1737 and L-1738) with four control cultivars (Bilensoy-80, Gözlü, Savaş and Plato) for agromorphological, yield and quality properties under irrigated conditions in two various locations in Ankara, Turkey in the years of 2013, 2014, and 2015. The experiments were arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. Results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences in plant height and stem diameter as well as stem number among the study materials. Statistically significant differences were observed for green forage yield (P < 0.05), while not in dry matter yield among the study materials. The average green forage and dry matter yields were reported as 67.0 t ha-1 and 13. 0 t ha-1, respectively. Green forage and dry matter yields in the advanced populations of L-1737 and L-1738 were 69.2 and 67.4 t ha-1; 13.7 and 13.6 t ha-1, respectively. Those yield values were 6.5 and 3.7%; 4.3 and 3.4% higher in green forage and dry matter yields of the advanced populations of L-1737 and L-1738 compared to the control cultivar Bilensoy-80, respectively. These increases in green forage and dry matter yields were due to the effect of the mass selection method. Statistically significant differences were observed for acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, and relative feeding value among the study materials, except crude protein contents. It was concluded that the two advanced populations had good adaptation ability, high yield and good quality performance under irrigated conditions and could be used as commercial cultivars.
O governo da justiça na Guiana Francesa sob ocupação portuguesa (1809-1817)
Authors: PEREIRA Ivete Machado de Miranda
Published: August 2022

Resumo A historiografia recente sobre as práticas administrativas na América portuguesa tem-se consagrado às instituições e aos agentes responsáveis pela aplicação da justiça nas diversas regiões e capitanias, sem, entretanto, ter abordado um território conquistado pelos portugueses no início do século XIX. A proposta deste artigo é a análise da administração da justiça na Guiana Francesa entre os anos de 1809 e 1817, época em que o território esteve sob ocupação portuguesa. Considerada por Dom João VI como parte de seus “Estados”, a Guiana foi governada por dois agentes portugueses sob dependência da capitania do Grão-Pará. A partir da comparação entre as estruturas jurídicas coloniais francesa e portuguesa, buscou-se analisar as adaptações empreendidas pelos portugueses para o bom governo da justiça na Guiana, pois, como ficou estipulado pela capitulação, o Código Civil francês continuou em vigor na colônia. O artigo evidencia, ainda, o papel desempenhado por João Severiano Maciel da Costa como intendente da Guiana. O estudo utiliza documentos conservados no Arquivo Nacional do Rio de Janeiro (AN), na Biblioteca Nacional (BN), no Arquivo Histórico do Itamaraty (AHI), no Arquivo Ultramarino Francês (ANOM) e no Arquivo Departamental da Guiana (ADG).

Abstract The natural phytochemical latex of Euphorbia milii var. hislopii is one of the most promising natural molluscicides for the control of Biomphalaria glabrata, and has been widely studied under laboratory conditions for selective control of schistosomiasis transmission. However, the effect of this product on B. glabrata infected by other helminths had not yet been investigated. The present study reports evaluation of the effect of E. milii var. hislopii latex on the survival and reproductive activity of B. glabrata infected by Angiostrongylus cantonensis. For this purpose, the following groups were formed: control (C), exposed (E), infected (I) and infected and exposed for different time intervals (1 day - I+E-1D, 7 days - I+E-7D, 14 days - I+E-14D, 21 days - I+E-21D and 28 days - I+E-28D). The experimental infection was performed with L1 larvae of A. cantonensis and exposure to 0.08 mg/L (LC50) of E. milii latex for a period of 24 hours. We analyzed the effects of E. milii latex on the survival of snails during four weeks, reproductive parameters and possible histophysiopathological changes in the gonad and albumen gland of the snails. Regarding survival, there was reduction of more than 50% in the groups exposed to latex (E and I + E) compared to the control group. As for the number of ovigerous masses, eggs, and average number of hatched snails, significant increases were observed in the I+E-1D group at the 4th week compared to the control group and the other weeks in the same group. Angiostrongylus cantonensis larvae were observed in the gonad and albumen gland from day 21 and 28 of infection in groups I and I+E, respectively, with granuloma-like formation. At these observation periods and in these groups, an increase in galactogen was observed in the albumen gland, which influenced egg laying, suggesting the existence of a fecundity compensation mechanism phenomenon. It was possible to conclude that both stressors – A. cantonensis infection and exposure to E. milii latex – directly influenced the survival and reproductive parameters of B. glabrata.

Abstract Silicon (Si) is a beneficial element that can mitigate effects of water stress on photosynthetic metabolism and plant growth. Thus, the aimed was to evaluate the effect of Si in mitigating the stressful effect of water deficit and flooding in Eugenia myrcianthes Nied. seedlings. The seedlings received three silicon doses (0, 2, and 4 mmol) and were subjected to two water regimes (I – continuous irrigation and S – water fluctuation, characterized as water stress obtained by two cycles of water regimes: irrigation suspension and flooding). Each cycle was ended when the seedlings had a photosynthetic rate close to zero (P0) when the stressful irrigation condition was normalized until the photosynthetic rate reached the values of the control seedlings (REC). The evaluations were carried out in five periods: T0 – initial seedling condition; 1st and 2nd P0; and 1st and 2nd REC. The E. myrcianthes seedlings reached P0 at 22 and 50 days under water deficit and flooding, respectively. Water stress caused damage to photochemical activities in photosystem II. E. myrcianthes is a species sensitive to water stress, but capable of adjusting to water fluctuation, and the application of 2 mmol Si contributed to the regulation of gas exchange, photochemical yields, and growth of this species at the deficit and flooding phases. We emphasize that E. myrcianthes seedlings have potential for resilience due to physiological plasticity, regardless of the silicon application.

RESUMO Introdução: Analisamos o processo deliberativo que define as regras de regionalização dos serviços de proteção especial da assistência social. Esses serviços lidam com situações tais como violência doméstica e trabalho infantil. Eles são objeto de um esforço de construção do modelo de gestão tripartite envolvendo União, estados e municípios no âmbito do Sistema Único de Assistência Social. Discutimos como se distribui o poder de agenda e como se desenvolve a barganha entre as representações desses três entes em um espaço cooperativo chamado Comissão Intergestores Tripartite. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de caso sobre o processo deliberativo que aprovou um marco regulatório da proteção especial em 2013. Os registros das reuniões da Comissão e o texto da norma aprovada foram tratados com a utilização de técnicas de análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Constatamos a ampla prevalência do governo federal na definição da agenda da Comissão, indicando que há cooperação assimétrica. Mas também há situações nas quais a Comissão torna-se um espaço mais cooperativo, garantindo estabilidade e reciprocidade na relação entre os três entes. Discussão: Corroboramos, com novas evidências, suposições da literatura sobre relações intergovernamentais que destacam a capacidade do governo federal exercer maior poder em arenas desse tipo, assim como o papel cooperativo dos estados e municípios.

ABSTRACT Plants grown under salinity are subject to many morphological and physiological disorders. In this context, practices that can enable the use of saline water are essential. The deleterious effects of salinity can be mitigated by using beneficial microorganisms, especially diazotrophic bacteria. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of bacterial inoculation and co-inoculation using Bradyrhizobium spp. and Azospirillum brasilense on the growth, nodulation and production of cowpea under salt stress. The experiment was conducted using a randomized block design, in a 4 × 5 factorial arrangement, corresponding to four nitrogen sources (N1 - without nitrogen and without inoculant; N2 - fertilization with mineral nitrogen and without inoculant; N3 - inoculation of Bradyrhizobium spp.; and N4 - co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium spp. and Azospirillum brasilense) and five values of electrical conductivity of irrigation water - ECw (0.4, 1.9, 3.4, 4.9 and 6.4 dS m-1), with five replicates. Co-inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense and Bradyrhizobium spp. favors the growth, production and nodulation of cowpea plants up to ECw of 0.4 dS m-1. Increase in the electrical conductivity of irrigation water negatively affects the growth, production and nodulation of cowpea plants in Corujinha variety, regardless of the nitrogen source used.

Abstract Paralympic athletes face stressful situations in sports competitions daily, and assessing how they cope with these situations is important. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Coping Inventory for Brazilian Paralympic Athletes in Competition Situations. This study included 531 Brazilian Paralympic athletes aged 18 years or older, of both sexes, living in different Brazilian regions. They competed nationally or internationally and had physical or visual disabilities. Athletes with cerebral palsy were excluded. The participants answered a data questionnaire and the coping inventory. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a 12-theoretical dimension structure: six adaptive (Self-Reliance, Support-Seeking, Problem-Solving, Information-Seeking, Accommodation, Negotiation) and six maladaptive dimensions (Delegation, Social Isolation, Helplessness, Escape, Submission, and Opposition). Reliability indexes ranged between 0.60 and 0.94. The conclusion is that the instrument is reliable for assessing coping strategies among Brazilian Paralympic athletes.

Abstract The objective of this work was to adjust the coefficients of six mathematical models and to identify the one that best represents the drying of flint corn grains in a thin layer. For this purpose, a drying column was developed to obtain experimental data. Nine tests were performed for each model, using the velocities of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m s-1 at 40, 50, and 60°C, respectively, for drying air. The thin-layer drying models of Lewis, Page, Thompson, Overhults, Brooker, and Midilli were tested. All adjusted models represent the phenomenon of flint corn drying at 5% probability (χ2 test). After adjusted, the models of Page, Midilli, and Overhults are the best ones for drying corn, with a coefficient of determination equal to 1.000 for all tests and errors lower than 1.0%. For the drying conditions of this work, the n parameter of the model of Page does not depend on the velocity and temperature of drying air, while the k parameter depends only on air temperature, which is confirmed by the analysis of variance. The adjusted model of Page can be used with precision for the prediction of thin-layer flint corn drying.
Jenseits des Spektakels. Über das Versprechen der Rechtsprechung und andere Sachen

Maschinenräume moderner Demokratien haben eine typische

Form: die Sitzung. Parlamente und Verwaltungsbehörden, Bund-Länder-Kommissionen und Gerichte tagen genauso in Sitzungsform wie Rundfunkräte und Hochschulgremien. Und auch wenn die zeitlich begrenzte und hierarchisch strukturierte Form des Versammelns in privatwirtschaftlichen Zusammenhängen zumeist «meeting» genannt wird, kommen sich öffentliche und private Organisationen über die geteilte Form der Sitzung möglicherweise näher als in irgendeiner anderen Hinsicht. Allein das Rechtsprechen und die Gesetzgebung aber finden in Sitzungen ihre paradigmatische Form.
Prähistorische Gremiensitzung

Denkt man über die frühesten Formen von Sitzungen nach, so stellt sich die Frage nach ihrer Nachweisbarkeit. Leicht gelingt dies mit Hilfe von Tagesordnungen und Protokollen, doch das setzt Schriftlichkeit voraus. Blicken wir auf den Alten Orient, wo Schrift bereits im späten 4. Jahrtausend v. Chr. entstand, so lassen sich dort durchaus einige interessante Beobachtungen

machen. Tagesordnungen als eigenständige Textgattung kennt der Alte Orient zwar nicht, doch sind sie auf indirekte Weise durchaus belegt, wie aus einem im 19. Jahrhundert v. Chr. verfassten altassyrischen Brief aus Kültepe im heutigen Kappadokien, Türkei, hervorgeht. Der Absender schreibt dort: «Was Dich angeht, bis heute hast Du jedes Abkommen mit mir verweigert, und Du bist nicht bereit, ein Treffen zu arrangieren. Stattdessen schreibst Du dauernd, dass Du einen Anwalt einschalten wirst … Lass uns also ein Treffen einberufen mit einem Rechtsvertreter und fünf Investoren zusätzlich zu den Vieren, die unseren Vater vertreten.
