Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomical performance of 'Piemonte' mandarin grafted on 11 rootstocks grown under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Coastal Tablelands, in the state of Sergipe, Brazil. The following combined agronomical parameters were evaluated: vegetative growth, abundance of phytophagous mites, plant yield, drought tolerance, and physicochemical quality of fruit. 'Piemonte' mandarin had the best productive performance when grafted on 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' lime, 'Red Rough' lemon, 'Sunki Tropical' mandarin, and 'Riverside' citrandarin, and it was more tolerant to drought when grafted on 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' lime and on the LVK x LCR-010 hybrid. Rootstocks did not affect pest population levels. 'Piemonte' mandarin grafted on 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' lime and 'Red Rough' lemon produced lower-quality fruit. The 'Indio' and 'San Diego' citrandarins, the HTR-051 hybrid, and 'Swingle' citrumelo have potential for high-density plantings. 'Sunki Tropical' mandarin and 'Riverside' citrandarin are a good option for the diversification of rootstocks in orchards in the agroecosystem of the Brazilian Coastal Tablelands.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência da seleção genômica em diferentes cenários de estrutura populacional em milho-pipoca, com estimação dos efeitos e uso de marcadores na própria população de referência e em populações não relacionadas, e determinar a influência do tamanho efetivo e das relações de parentesco na população de estimação sobre a acurácia da predição. Foram simuladas populações com diferentes desequilíbrios de ligação (LD) e variâncias aditivas, tendo-se considerado diferentes caracteres, densidades de marcadores, herdabilidades e gerações, no total de 144 cenários. Também foram simuladas populações estruturadas em progênies. A acurácia da predição dos valores genéticos aditivos foi obtida por meio da correlação entre os valores paramétricos e os valores estimados por RR-BLUP (ridge regression-best linear unbiased prediction). Em populações com baixo LD e menor variância aditiva, o uso de maiores densidades de SNP (10 SNP 0,1 cM-1) é indicado, e, além disso, o candidato à seleção deve ser relacionado à população de estimação, para que a acurácia de predição seja satisfatória. O uso de população de seleção na mesma geração da população de estimação reduz em pelo menos 8% a acurácia. A estruturação da população em progênies de maior relacionamento e menor tamanho efetivo aumenta a eficiência da seleção genômica.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o cultivo da cana-de-açúcar, em análise harmônica aplicada a uma série temporal de índices de vegetação Modis, com a representação dos termos harmônicos. Os dados diários de precipitação pluvial para o Estado de São Paulo foram obtidos do Agritempo, acumulados para o período de 16 dias das composições Modis, ao longo das safras de 2004/2005 a 2011/2012. Utilizaram-se o índice de vegetação por diferença normalizada (NDVI) e o índice de realce da vegetação (EVI) em séries temporais decompostas em termos harmônicos pela análise harmônica. Para visualizar a condição de crescimento da vegetação de áreas agrícolas, em especial a informação de fase, aplicou-se a transformação HLS aos termos harmônicos obtidos com o algoritmo Hants, por meio do programa Envi. O cultivo da cana-de-açúcar no Estado de São Paulo apresenta padrões espaciais coerentes com o ciclo de desenvolvimento da cultura e consistentes com a variabilidade das precipitações sazonais que afetam diretamente o momento de máximo dos índices de vegetação. O pico vegetativo da cana-de-açúcar ocorre durante a fase de crescimento, em anos com chuvas normais; porém, em anos de pouca chuva, a fase de maturação da cultura é antecipada e, em anos de muita chuva, a fase de crescimento é antecipada, o que causa o atraso da maturação.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a acurácia das regressões que definem os limites do intervalo hídrico ótimo e a validade do uso deste indicador ao se considerar a variabilidade espacial de lavouras sob sistema plantio direto. Foram coletadas 100 amostras de solo com estrutura preservada, em áreas com dimensões de 10x10 m, em Latossolo Vermelho distrófico, Nitossolo Vermelho distroférrico e Latossolo Vermelho aluminoférrico, manejados sob sistema plantio direto. Determinaram-se porosidade de aeração (0,10 m3 m-3), capacidade de campo (potencial de -0,006 MPa), ponto de murcha permanente (potencial de -1,5 MPa) e resistência mecânica do solo à penetração crítica (2 MPa). As regressões que descreveram a capacidade de campo tiveram os menores coeficientes de determinação, enquanto as que descreveram a porosidade de aeração, o ponto de murcha permanente e a resistência mecânica do solo à penetração apresentaram os maiores valores. As regressões que definem o limite da capacidade de campo não são acuradas em descrever a variação na umidade volumétrica do solo por meio da densidade do solo, e os solos avaliados apresentam elevada variabilidade espacial para o intervalo hídrico ótimo.

RESUMO: Descrevem-se o quadro clínico, patológico e o potencial tóxico das folhas verdes de Crotalaria pallida em ovinos. Para o experimento folhas verdes de C. pallida foram coletadas no município de São João do Sul em Santa Catarina e administradas por via oral para seis ovinos adultos, em doses únicas de 40, 20, 10, 5, 2,5 e 2,5g/kg, e para dois ovinos, em doses diárias de 0,63 e 1,25g/kg durante 30 dias. Reproduziu-se a intoxicação com doses letais a partir de 2,5g/kg. Um dos ovinos que recebeu a dose única de 2,5g/kg e os que receberam as doses diárias, não adoeceram. Todos os ovinos que apresentaram sinais clínicos morreram entre 13 e 22 horas após a administração das folhas. Sinais clínicos leves como fezes pastosas, inquietação e aumento das frequências cardíaca e respiratória tiveram início cerca em 11 horas após a ingestão da planta. Minutos antes da morte observaram-se dispneia intensa com respiração abdominal pronunciada. As principais lesões macroscópicas foram restritas à cavidade torácica, como hidrotórax e edema pulmonar acentuado. O exame microscópico revelou no pulmão, edema acentuado e difuso na superfície pleural, nos espaços interlobulares e ao redor das artérias peribronquiais e peribronquiolares. Edema multifocal foi observado no interior de alvéolos e ao redor de brônquios e bronquíolos, além de leve infiltrado neutrofílico multifocal. O quadro clínico-patológico da intoxicação experimental foi similar ao observado na intoxicação espontânea e caracterizou-se por edema iulmonar acentuado e morte logo após o início dos sinais clínicos.

ABSTRACT: In intensive dairy farming, persistent intramammary infection has been associated with specific Staphylococcus (S.) aureus strains, and these strains may be resistant to antimicrobials. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance phenotypes of S. aureus isolates and to assess the distribution and the persistence of clonal groups in small dairy herds of southern Brazil. Milk samples were collected from all lactating cows from 21 dairy farms over a two-year period, totaling 1,060 samples. S. aureus isolates were tested for susceptibility to thirteen antimicrobials using the disk diffusion method. The total DNA of the isolates was subjected to SmaI digestion followed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Banding patterns differing by ≤4 bands were considered members of a single PFGE cluster. The frequency of S. aureus isolation ranged from 3.45% to 70.59% among the 17 S. aureus-positive herds. Most S. aureus isolates (87.1%) were susceptible to all antimicrobials; resistance to penicillin (18.2%) was the most frequently observed. The 122 isolates subjected to macrorestriction analysis were classified into 30 PFGE-clusters. Among them, only 10 clusters were intermittent or persistent over the two-year period. The majority (93.6%) of isolates belonging to persistent and intermittent clusters were susceptible to all tested antimicrobials. S. aureus intramammary colonization in small dairy farms of southern Brazil is most frequently caused by sporadic PFGE clusters, although some persistent clusters can arise over time. Both sporadic and persistent isolates were highly susceptible to antimicrobials.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports eleven cases of ulcerative and granulomatous enteritis associated with Molineus torulosus parasitism in different species of neotropical primates of the Sapajus genus. All of the affected monkeys had been apprehended by the environmental police and were being treated in a rehabilitation center for wild animals. The clinical history was weight loss and debility. During the necropsy, several nodules were found on the duodenum and proximal jejunum wall, with ulcers on the adjacent intestinal mucosa, including the nodules in the pancreas of four monkeys. Histologically, eosinophilic granulomas were observed in the small intestine, associated with fibrosis, eggs and adult models of Trichostrongylidae, etiology consistent with Molineus torulosus. This study describes the first cases of parasitism in Sapajus flavius, a species previously considered extinct, but recently rediscovered, and presents the occurrence of M. torulosus in two other species, Sapajus libidinosus and Sapajus apella.

ABSTRACT: The pampas cat Leopardus colocolo (Molina, 1782) is a species of the Felidae family, widely distributed in South America, included on CITES Appendix II and classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, with population trend decreasing. Based on this information, the objective of this study is to describe morphologically the testes and epididymal ducts of pampas cat. The animal, coming from the Federal University of Mato Grosso Zoo, Brazil, had died after anesthesia procedure and the male reproductive system was dissected to collect the testicles. The samples taken were fragmented and histologically examined. From the microscopic analysis of the testes were identified: vaginal and tunica albuginea, formed by dense connective tissue modeled with large amount of collagen fibers. The tunica albuginea fibrous septa emits into the body. The seminiferous tubules are coiled and coated internally by spermatogenic epithelium consisting of Sertoli cells, surrounded by a basement membrane in the presence of myoid cells. The interstitial tissue between the seminiferous tubules, is composed of loose connective tissue, blood and lymph vessels, and Leydig cells in polyhedral shape. The epididymal ducts showed pseudostratified columnar epithelium with secretory cells of which stereocilia design, situated on a basement membrane filled by myoid cells. This epithelium has principal and basal cells, the main cell design stereocilia toward the lumen of the epididymal duct.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to study the microscopic morphology of the testicular parenchyma of Rhea americana birds. Fifty-four 2.5±0.5 year-old male adults bred in captivity. were used. During commercial slaughter, samples of testis were collected in November/2005, December/2006 and May/2007, in order to compare possible differences. The samples underwent optical microscopy analysis and measurements of seminiferous tubule (ST) total diameters, lumen, epithelium thickness and the relative volume of parenchyma. The ST had circular form in transverse cross sections. November/2005 and December/2006 samples had many types of germinative cells and spermatozoa in lumen, but in May/2007 the samples of epithelium were poor regarding meiotic and mitotic pictures, and it was difficult to find any spermatozoon; in many tubules the lumen was inexistent or diminished. In December/2006 and May/2007 the averages were: tubule diameter 110.3 and 5.3mμ, lumen 52.4 and 4.5mμ, epithelium thickness 57.8 and 0.7mμ respectively. The volumetric proportions were: seminiferous epithelium 75.6 and 75.9, cysts in epithelium 2.1 and 1.0, ST 93.3 and 84.0, interstitium 6.2 and 15.6 respectively. The sperm reserves were: 19.7±2 and 0±0 x109 sperm cells in December 2006 and May 2007 respectively. Microscopic measures of seminiferous tubules, spermatic cells and diameter of the nuclei were presented. These data confirm reproductive seasonality, with breeding season in spring-summer with sperm production. A great variation n parenchyma, when compared breeding was noticeable.

RESUMO: A Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) é uma ferramenta capaz de estimar o potencial de emissões e apontar as fases críticas de um determinado produto ou processo em todo o seu ciclo de vida. O objetivo deste trabalho foi resumir os principais resultados das pesquisas e estudos de caso em ACV relacionados à bovinocultura leiteira nacional e internacional, de 2008 a 2014, e realizar uma análise crítica das categorias de impacto abordadas com maior frequência pela literatura: mudança climática, acidificação, eutrofização, uso da terra e demanda de energia. De todas as fases, a produção de leite na fazenda é onde ocorre a maior parte das emissões. Os resultados apontam que os pontos críticos da bovinocultura leiteira são as emissões entéricas, produção e uso de fertilizante, uso de esterco, produção e transporte de concentrado, e a baixa produtividade animal. Em geral, a categoria de mudança climática foi contraditória com as demais categorias, razão pela qual não deve ser considerada sozinha em avaliações de impacto ambiental. No Brasil, a intensificação na produção à base de pasto apresenta-se como uma estratégia de redução de impactos, uma vez que diminui a necessidade do uso de insumos de base não renovável e aumenta o sequestro de carbono via fotossíntese.

Resumo Este artigo busca analisar a orientação espacial dos alunos com deficiência visual em escola de educação especial localizada na cidade de São Paulo antes e após a implantação de sinalização tátil no piso, importante elemento do sistema chamado wayfinding. Na primeira etapa da pesquisa (período entre outubro e dezembro de 2012), foram realizadas observações com os alunos (pré-escola e ensino fundamental) com deficiência visual (cegueira e baixa visão) para avaliação da orientação durante a circulação no edifício escolar. Após a reforma do piso existente em 2014, as autoras implantaram a sinalização tátil no piso (ABNT, 2004) na área de circulação e iniciaram a segunda etapa da pesquisa (período entre agosto e setembro de 2014), com novas observações. Foram consideradas as premissas adotadas para a definição da unidade estudo de caso e os critérios de escolha do instrumento de coleta de dados. Constatou-se que a implantação da sinalização tátil no piso nas áreas de circulação de alunos com deficiência visual requer familiarização com o uso, iniciada por meio de treinamento de orientação e mobilidade (O&M); disponibilização e aprendizado de uso concomitante do mapa tátil; adoção da bengala de rastreamento; escalonamento dos horários de intervalo das diferentes classes; definição de mãos de direção; segurança no trajeto e monitoramento.
Mechanical properties: wood lumber versus plastic lumber and thermoplastic composites
Authors: Dias Bernardo Zandomenico ,   Faculdades Multivix, Brazil, Alvarez Cristina Engel de ,   Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Brazil
Published: January 2017

Abstract Plastic lumber and thermoplastic composites are sold as alternatives to wood products. However, many technical standards and scientific studies state that the two materials cannot be considered to have the same structural behaviour and strength. Moreover, there are many compositions of thermoplastic-based products and plenty of wood species. How different are their mechanical properties? This study compares the modulus of elasticity and the flexural, compressive, tensile and shear strengths of such materials, as well as the materials' specific mechanical properties. It analyses the properties of wood from the coniferae and dicotyledon species and those of commercialized and experimental thermoplastic-based product formulations. The data were collected from books, scientific papers and manufacturers' websites and technical data sheets, and subsequently compiled and presented in Ashby plots and bar graphs. The high values of the compressive strength and specific compressive and tensile strengths perpendicular to the grain (width direction) shown by the experimental thermoplastic composites compared to wood reveal their great potential for use in compressed elements and in functions where components are compressed or tensioned perpendicularly to the grain. However, the low specific flexural modulus and high density of thermoplastic materials limit their usage in certain civil engineering and building applications.

Resumo Os agregados provenientes da reciclagem de concreto geralmente possuem propriedades inferiores às dos agregados naturais, o que limita suas alternativas de reciclagem. Entretanto, muitos estudos vêm demonstrando seu potencial de utilização na confecção de concretos, a partir de avaliações de propriedades mecânicas e microestruturais, e de melhorias na forma de mistura dos agregados. O presente trabalho analisa a viabilidade de utilização da técnica de nanoindentação para a avaliação da interface que se forma entre a pasta e o agregado reciclado em concretos com esse tipo de agregado. Foram produzidos corpos de prova que representam a região de interface em concretos em que os agregados reciclados foram adicionados à mistura no estado seco, método que vem sendo utilizado com o intuito de melhorar a zona de transição em função da absorção do excesso de água da pasta e de partículas de aglomerante pelos poros vazios do agregado reciclado. Os corpos de prova de referência foram comparados com outros em que foi realizada a adição de fíler basáltico e de cinza de casca de arroz. A técnica de nanoindentação possibilitou verificar que a utilização de agregado no estado seco gera zonas de transição de elevada qualidade e que a adição de cinza de casca de arroz aumenta a dureza da região de interface.

In C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), the alternative pathway of complement is frequently overactivated by autoantibodies that stabilize the C3 convertase C3bBb. Anti-C3b and anti-factor B (anti-FB) IgG have been reported in three patients with C3G. We screened a cohort of 141 patients with C3G and Ig-associated membranoproliferative GN (Ig-MPGN) for anti-FB and anti-C3b autoantibodies using ELISA. We identified seven patients with anti-FB IgG, three patients with anti-C3b IgG, and five patients with anti-FB and anti-C3b IgG. Of these 15 patients, ten were diagnosed with Ig-MPGN. Among those patients with available data, 92% had a nephrotic syndrome, 64% had AKI, and 67% had a documented infection. Patients negative for anti-C3b and anti-FB IgG had much lower rates of infection (17 [25%] patients with C3G and one [10%] patient with Ig-MPGN). After 48 months, four of 15 (26%) positive patients had developed ESRD or died. All 15 patients had high plasma Bb levels, six (40%) patients had low levels of C3, and nine (60%) patients had high levels of soluble C5b9. In vitro, IgG purified from patients with anti-FB Abs selectively enhanced C3 convertase activity; IgG from patients with anti-C3b/anti-FB Abs enhanced C3 and C5 cleavage. IgG from patients with anti-C3b Abs stabilized C3bBb and perturbed C3b binding to complement receptor 1 but did not perturb binding to factor H. In conclusion, the prevalence of anti-C3b/anti-FB Abs and alternative pathway activation is similar in Ig-MPGN and C3G, suggesting similar pathogenic mechanisms. Identification of the underlying defect in Ig-MPGN could lead to improved treatment.

The semantic sphere of juvenile offenders
Authors: Oshevsky D.S. , Nazarova N.G.
Published: January 2017

The article presents the results of a preliminary empirical study aimed to identify features of the semantic sphere of adolescents who have committed illegal, including aggressive acts. The study included 50 male juveniles aged of 16 - 17 years. The first group consisted of adolescents convicted of aggressive and violent crimes; the second – of property socially dangerous acts (SDA). It is shown that evaluation of such adolescents is generally categorical and polar, the semantic field is subdifferentiable, less hierarchic, and has not enough realistic structure of meanings. Developed structure of motives and meanings is the basis of voluntary regulation of socially significant behavior. Thus, assessing the semantic sphere of juvenile offenders we can highlight its characteristics as risk factors of unlawful behavior, as well as the resource side, that will contribute to addressing issues of prevention and correction of unlawful behavior.
Key words: juvenile offenders, semantic field of juvenile offenders, unlawful behavior.
Emotionally evaluative attitude of parents in the high conflict families to each other and the child
Authors: Kulakov S.
Published: January 2017

The increasing number of dysfunctional families causes an increase in the number of civil litigation on the education of the child, where the relationship between the persons are highly conflictual. The actual task is study the one of components in the structure of the psychological relationship - emotional and semantic constructs underlying semantic perception of each other and the child's parents. Examination of 42 testees (parents) from harmonious families and 54 testees (parents) during the forensic psychological and psychiatric examination (regarding the definition of child`s residence or the order of meetings for the child and the parent who don`t live with it) by methods "Geometric test of relations" and "Semantic Differential" showed that in families where is highly conflictual relationship, there is positive assessments of herself and her child, while assessment of the spouse (wife) characterized inversion. This negative attitude toward the spouse (wife) is not the other parent's negative characteristics. It is the ignoring the other parent's positive characteristics. The positive acceptance of all family members was revealed in harmonious families.

Published: January 2017

The article is devoted to studying of psychological features of persons influencing the choice of tactics of interrogation of witnesses. In this study 70 students took part with incomplete higher education between the ages of 18 to 21 years. The experimental group consisted of 35 people with type external locus of control, a control group – 35 people with type internal locus of control. Was conducted a multifaceted study of the individual and identified groups of people with hysteroid, schizoid and psychasthenic personal orientation, which were selected ten theory-based, efficient tactic, allowing to improve the effectiveness of testimony. According to the results the efficiency of testimony depends on the type of locus of control, when the person has a internal locus control efficiency response without the use of tactics is significantly higher than in subjects with external type of locus of control. Were given ecommendations to improve the effectiveness of testimony to persons with internal and external locus of control in the process of interrogation depending on the personal profile.

One of the most effective ways of psycho-prophylactic work with offenders is to work with the subjective picture of the life history of individual development, which unfolds in real space and time. Subject of research – regularities of manifestation of the subjective picture of life path at the persons consisting on the account in UII, and their influence on the further development and formation of personality. The basis for the studies provided PKU "Criminal – Executive inspection" of the FPS of Russia in Moscow. The sample consisted of 50 men aged 20 to 62 years, consisting on the account in UII. Of these, 25 persons are registered under article 228 of the criminal code, and 25 – under article 159 of the criminal code. Each convict, during the conversation, assess your psychological age, the intensity of each of the five years of his life, painted "Circles's Cottle's", were isolated 7 – 8 the most significant events of the past, as well as determined plans for the future. The study revealed similarities and differences in subjective picture of life path in each study group. Based on the results of the study were proposed measures for psycho-prophylactic work with these categories of persons.

Authors: Ryadinskaya E.
Published: January 2017

The article is a theoretical study of the psychological characteristics of the effects of armed conflict.
In this article the author considers issues of importance to modern psychology, such as mental and emotional state of people in the period of occurrence of the armed conflict, the impact of immediate residence in the area of armed conflict on the mental state of the person, the stressors that affect the mental state of a person in an armed conflict.
The author focuses on the fact that the current socio-political situation in the regions where there was armed conflict, seriously affect the population, its relation to reality, setting goals, and vision of prospects in life.
In conclusion, the article notes that the experience of life crisis in a situation of armed conflict may manifest in the loss of a sense of integrity and inner balance, the loss of the ability to control and manage their own lives.

PURPOSE: Several factors have been associated with the prescription of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) over warfarin such as younger age, fewer concomitant medications, and lower CHADS2 or bleeding scores. The primary objective of this study was to identify predictors of DOAC choice compared with warfarin for patients who are starting a new oral anticoagulant (OAC) for atrial fibrillation (AF). The secondary objective was to describe the proportion of DOAC prescriptions in new users of OAC for AF. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital in Canada. Medical records of adult patients hospitalized in any medical units between October 1st, 2011 and October 1st, 2014, who were newly prescribed an OAC for non valvular AF were systematically reviewed. Baseline characteristics of warfarin and DOAC users were compared and a multivariate logistic regression analysis was completed to identify predictors of DOAC use. Variables included in the multiple regression analysis were: age, hypertension, diabetes, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, CHADS2 score of 2 or more, creatinine clearance 30mL/min or more, polypharmacy, concomitant use of ASA or clopidogrel, and prescription by a neurologist. RESULTS: Among OAC users (144 patients on DOAC and 295 patients on warfarin), older age (odds ratio [OR] 0.97; 95%CI 0.95-0.98), peripheral arterial disease (OR: O.41;95%CI: 0.21-0.82), polypharmacy (OR: 0.30;95%CI:0.10-0.89), and concomitant use of clopidogrel (OR: 0.19;95%CI:0.07-0.56) decreased the probability of DOAC use. Prescription by a neurologist (OR: 2.77;95%CI:1.34-5.76) and an estimated creatinine clearance of at least 30mL/min (OR: 3.53;95%CI:1.18-10.57) increased the likelihood of DOAC prescription. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first observational study finding that concomitant use of clopidogrel reduced the likelihood of DOAC utilization while prescription by a neurologist increased the probability of receiving a DOAC over warfarin in patients with AF.This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

O conhecimento e o ponto de vista de consumidores a respeito da rotulagem ambiental de produtos
Authors: Gomes Nivaldo Simões , Casagrande Junior Eloy Fassi
Published: January 2017

Uma das formas das empresas comunicarem as mudanças nos seus processos e produtos aos seus consumidores é por meio da adoção de selos verdes. Entretanto, diante de um grande número de selos e programas, é necessário observar melhor o consumidor neste contexto. Desta forma, o artigo objetiva apontar e discutir o conhecimento e o ponto de vista dos consumidores no que diz respeito à rotulagem ambiental de produtos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio de um questionário de base online, entre os meses de fevereiro a agosto de 2015, e participaram 417 respondentes, todos residentes no Brasil. Percebe-se que ainda há pouco conhecimento dos consumidores no que diz respeito aos selos, assim como intenção de consumo dos produtos certificados. Porém, pode-se apontar para o surgimento dessa nova demanda e que, havendo um aumento da conscientização, aliado à educação para um consumo consciente, o engajamento pode ser maior.

NILAI-NILAI PERDAMAIAN DALAM TEKS WACAN SINDUJOYO BABAD KROMAN GRESIK Values of Peace of Wacan Sindujoyo Babad Kroman Gresik Manuscript
Authors: UDIN MUSTOLEH
Published: January 2017

Para wali, ulama, kyai, dan santri terdahulu, dalam menyampaikan nasehat-nasehat keagamaan, selain menggunakan bahasa lisan juga menggunakan bahasa tulisan (teks). Teks wacan Sindujoyo babad Kroman Gresik merupakan salah satu teks Jawa pesisiran yang digunakan Ki Ageng Tarub untuk mengangkat kisah Sindujoyo dengan bahasa lokal (Jawa). Melalui pendekatan analisis isi, artikel ini menemukan kearifan lokal budaya Jawa yang berisi nilai-nilai perdamaian. Nilai-nilai perdamaian tersebut terdeskripsikan dalam pupuh asmarandana, dhandhanggula, pangkur, durma, sinom, kinanthi, mijil, dan megatruh. Nilai-nilai perdamaian dalam teks tersebut bercerita tentang pentingnya nilai persaudaraan. Nilai persaudaraan  tersebut  diilustrasikan  oleh Kiai Sindujoyo, Iman Sujana, Salam, dan Salim dalam mencapai kesempurnaan hidup yang memiliki visi- misi kesamaan etnis dan ideologis. Temuan lain dari teks ini adalah diceritakan tentang pergulatan politik antara Sunan Amangkurat dan Tumenggung Banyumas. Kiai Sindujoyo ditunjuk Sunan Amangkurat bertindak sebagai duta perdamaian dalam penangkapan Tumenggung Banyumas. Dalam penangkapan tersebut kiai Sindujoyo tidak membawa pasukan perang, tetapi menyamar sebagai santri yang dibantu oleh Iman Sujana, Salam, dan Salim. Dalam istilah Jawa, diplomasi ini dikenal dengan semboyan nglurug tanpa bala, menang tanpa ngasorake.

HAKIKAT HATI MENURUT AL-HAKIM AL-TIRMIZI
Authors: ARAFAT AHMAD TAJUDDIN
Published: January 2017

Kajian ini menitikberatkan pada telaah atas pemikiran al-Hakim al-Tirmizi perihal hakikat hati yang terdapat dalam karyanya “Bayan al-Farq baina ash-Shadr wa al-Qalb wa al-Fu`ad wa al-Lubb”. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan content analysis ditemukan bahwa dalam karya tersebut terdapat beberapa nilai filosofis yang berkaitan dengan hati dalam rangka menemukan pengetahuan sejati tentang Tuhan. Menurutnya, hati (qalb) merupakan sebuah nama umum yang meliputi beberapa tingkatan (maqāmāt) batin. Di dalam sisi batin tersebut terdapat bagian-bagian yang berupa bagian luar hati dan bagian dalam hati. Dapat dikatakan bahwa nama hati (qalb) merupakan sebuah nama diri (ism al-’ain) yang di dalamnya terdapat beberapa bagian yang masing-masing dapat berfungsi sendiri, sekaligus saling membantu dan saling berkaitan satu dengan yang lainnya. Bagian- bagian tersebut adalah ash-shadr, al-qalb, al-fu`ad, dan al-lubb. Selanjutnya, ash-shadr merupakan tempat bagi cahaya islam dan juga merupakan tempat bagi tersimpannya segala pengetahuan ikhtiari manusia yang memiliki kemungkinan untuk lupa. Sedangkan al-qalb merupakan tempat bagi cahaya iman dan sumber dari ilmu hikmah dan isyarat. Al-fu`ad merupakan sumber ma’rifat dan pengetahuan yang berangkat dari penyaksian langsung (musyahadah). Terakhir adalah al-lubb yang merupakan puncak tertinggi dalam hati. Ia bagaikan poros (al-quthb) yang tak pernah sirna dan tak pernah bergerak. Ia adalah tempat bagi cahaya tauhid dan cahaya penyaksian terhadap Tuhan. Melalui optimalisasi nilai-nilai tersebut, setiap muslim diharapkan memiliki kesempatan untuk menjadi muslim yang baik, lebih-lebih menjadi manusia unggul (al-insan al-kamil)

Authors: Timarán-Pereira Ricardo , Yépez-Chamorro Maria Clara
Published: January 2017

En este artículo se presenta uno de los resultados del proyecto de investigación denominado: Detección de patrones de supervivencia en mujeres con cáncer invasivo de cuello uterino con técnicas de minería de datos , utilizando como fuente principal la información almacenada en la base de datos del Registro Poblacional de Cáncer del Municipio de Pasto (Colombia). Aplicando la metodología para proyectos de minería de datos CRISP-DM, se construyó, limpió y transformó un repositorio de datos con la información de las mujeres que fueron diagnosticadas con cáncer invasivo de cuello uterino entre los años 1998 y 2002, con una ventana de observación hasta el 2007. Se detectaron los principales factores socioeconómicos y clínicos asociados con la supervivencia de este grupo poblacional, utilizando las tareas de minería de datos: clasificación, asociación y agrupación. El patrón principal descubierto es aquel que caracteriza a una mujer con cáncer invasivo de cuello uterino como sobreviviente, si sobrepasa los 52 meses después del momento del diagnóstico del cáncer.
Aprendizaje de conceptos químicos: una visión desde los trabajos prácticos y los estilos de aprendizaje
Authors: Rodríguez-Cepeda Rodrigo
Published: January 2017

Es importante que los constructos conceptuales logrados durante la vida universitaria sean aplicados dentro del contexto de problemas sociales actuales. Sin embargo, son conocidas las dificultades de los profesionales recién egresados en el momento de aplicar los conceptos, demostrando inseguridad del conocimiento profesional, descontextualización frente a la realidad del entorno y desactualización de conceptos; esto a pesar de los esfuerzos por parte de profesores e investigadores, quienes han desarrollado nuevas formas de enseñanza alejadas de las tradicionales memorísticas. La presente investigación se centró en la construcción de conceptos químicos asociados a la cromatografía en el contexto de la química de alimentos, identificando las posibles relaciones entre los trabajos prácticos y los estilos de aprendizaje propuestos por Honey y Mumford. La muestra poblacional corresponde a los estudiantes de séptimo semestre de un programa de Licenciatura en Química y se emplea una metodología cuasiexperimental. Los resultados indican que la relación entre los trabajos prácticos y el aprendizaje de conceptos favorecen a los estudiantes con estilo de aprendizaje pragmático.
La investigación-creación en el contexto de la formación doctoral en diseño y creación en Colombia
Authors: Silva-Cañaveral Sandra Johana
Published: January 2017

Desde la experiencia derivada del propio camino investigativo y creativo adelantado durante la formación doctoral, en contraste con lo que implica realizar procesos de creación en el marco de mi práctica profesional como artista, propongo una reflexión sobre cómo investiga un/a creador/a en el campo de las artes visuales. Entre las transformaciones que están en juego hoy, está también la de volver a darle significado a una forma de conocimiento que esté entretejido a lo que somos, donde conocer signifique, primero que todo, aunque no exclusivamente, autoconocimiento, una transformación de sí, una experiencia, que de una u otra manera pueda hacernos más “sabios” (más prudentes, en el sentido de la phronesis aristotélica). Y en ese sentido, tal vez también pueda decirse que ser “doctor/a” no solo tiene que significar dominar los métodos de investigación propios de esa empresa anónima que es la ciencia, sino también, y sobre todo, lograr una experiencia que lo transforme a uno. Ser “doctor/a” debería también significar haber alcanzado cierto tipo de “virtud”, haberse transformado en cierto tipo de persona, de mejor persona.
