Myth and Reality of University Museum as an Information Resource Center in State Islamic Universities
Authors: Purnomo Pungki
Published: September 2019

This study discusses the phenomenon of university museum which is rarely studied particularly in State Islamic Universities. The objective of this study is to reveal the opportunities and challenges of State Islamic Universities in establishing the university museum as an information resource centers for academicians. This research was conducted at four different State Islamic Universities (UIN) in Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Jogjakarta and Malang. The method used in this study was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The informants in this study were lecturers and librarians. The opportunities for establishment of a university museum in UIN are : firstly, some departments offer courses that require a laboratory with object-based learning. Secondly : is UIN lecturersare relatively expertise. Likewise, the trust of UIN partners is very strong and entrenched both at home and abroad. The last one is that each UIN even has the potential opportunity to be able to develop a university museum that is distinct from the other universities in its Islamic themes. The challenges include that the position of university museum has not been regulated in the UIN statute. Moreover, the political will of university leaders, lecturers and students on the importance of a university museum still has not become common wish as a center of information resources.

Published: September 2019

The study evaluated users’ satisfaction with the reference services of federal university libraries in southeastern Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design, and questionnaire served as an instrument for data collection. Drawing from a population of 20,570, a questionnaire was administered to 394 undergraduate library users of which 351 were completed and found useful for data analysis. The findings revealed that users were satisfied with library reference services except those they are not familiar with and none of the categories of reference services was rated very high. Most library users are not familiar with translation service, internet service, and e-mail service along with library OPAC. Reference librarians have a good customer relationship with the users, even though they are yet to fortify their presence in an online environment. Sequential to the above unearthing, recommendations were given that reference librarians should adopt public relation technique in relating to users and other stakeholders of the library. More so, awareness of reference services should be created through library publicity and marketing of library services among the community of users. The recommendation was also given that the reference librarian should be ICT compliance to be able to perform excellently in an online environment.
Pekojan: Image of an Arab Kampong during XVIII to XIX Centuries Batavia
Authors: Wahyudi Johan , Madjid Dien
Published: September 2019

This study discusses the social dynamics of a kampong in Batavia during XVIII to XIX centuries. Pekojan has already emerged as the center of commerce for Arabs and Muslim Indians community since the 16th century. By the eighteenth century, many Arab immigrants from Hadramawt (Southern Yemen) settled here. Its initial landscape can be traced by the theory of the coming of Islam in the Archipelago. One of the theories says that it was driven by international trade by the Arabs, which also carried Islam along with them. The Hadramis went through the naval journey passing the Indian Ocean to the Malaka Strait. They stopped over in Singapore then went on to Batavia, especially Pekojan. This study found Pekojan became a place where Arab culture and ideas were constructed yet negotiated within a local context. There prominent ulamas, merchants, writers, educators, the initiators of independence, the benefactors, and artists socialized under close racial surveillance of the Dutch East Indies government.
Translation Strategy of Proper Name
Authors: Suriadi M. Agus , Ihsani Ni’ mah Nurul
Published: September 2019

Massive discussion has been done related to the translation strategy, including the proper name. This study discussed the types of a proper name and the translation strategy of a proper name in an English-Indonesian Novel Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secret. The data will be presented qualitatively by using Peter Newmark and Lincoln Fernandes theories. Six data are frequently typed into addressing name, four are typed as a geographical place, and one as an object name. Moreover, the most strategies used to engage the equivalence effect are copy strategy with seven data, rendition strategy with three data, and re-creation strategy with one datum. Therefore, the copy strategy can be a solution to deliver proper names into TL because it preserves the proper name and introduces the foreign name of foreign culture to the target language and target culture. Moreover, if a proper name has its equivalence meaning in TL, it might be translated by rendition strategy.
¿En qué gastamos para comer y cuánto?: condiciones socioeconómicas y presupuesto para el consumo de alimentos (Colombia, 1993-2014)
Authors: Torres Pabón Giselle
Published: September 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la relación entre las condiciones socioeconómicas y el gasto destinado a los alimentos en los hogares colombianos, entre 1993 y 2014. La pregunta que guía esta investigación es: ¿cómo las condiciones socioeconómicas afectan el gasto alimentario en Colombia en dicho periodo? Para responderla se utilizó la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida realizada por el Departamento Nacional de Estadística. La metodología siguió una aproximación cuantitativa: análisis descriptivo y modelos de regresión lineal. Para los modelos de regresión lineal se construyeron seis variables dependientes. La primera es la proporción del gasto promedio mensual en alimentos respecto al gasto promedio mensual total de los hogares colombianos. Las otras cinco variables son la proporción del gasto promedio mensual por cada grupo de alimentos (carnes; granos, frutas y verduras; pan; leche; y huevo), respecto al gasto promedio mensual en alimentos por hogar. Las hipótesis que se buscan comprobar son: a) la proporción de gasto destinado a los alimentos en los hogares colombianos se comporta según la ley de Engel; b) hay diferencias en el consumo de alimentos dadas las condiciones socioeconómicas de los hogares colombianos; y c) existe diversificación alimentaria. El artículo está dividido en cinco partes: la primera presenta la revisión de la literatura especializada; la segunda describe los datos y la metodología empleados: la tercera contiene los resultados de este trabajo, y en la cuarta se discuten los resultados. Por último, se presentan las conclusiones. Entre los hallazgos está la comprobación de las hipótesis, pues se descubrió un alto nivel de desigualdad en el consumo alimentario, que incluso se incrementó en el periodo analizado; y se llama al debate sobre los entramados teóricos y empíricos construidos hasta ahora, en la sociología del consumo de alimentos, para comprender las prácticas alimentarias.
El alma de la sociología chilena en las subjetividades profesionales
Authors: Iturrieta Olivares Sandra
Published: September 2019

El presente artículo, sustentado en la noción weberiana de cierres sociales de las profesiones y de factores de desprofesionalización, se propone describir el modo de hacer sociología en Chile, en un contexto de límites difusos entre disciplinas que confluyen en el campo de la intervención social directa. Es decir, un contexto donde los sociólogos que se desempeñan en la ejecución de programas sociales en el país ven traspasadas sus jurisdicciones disciplinares por otras profesiones del área. Con la finalidad de discutir la hipótesis sobre la existencia en nuestra América de un estilo de pensar y hacer sociología, diferente al que se desarrolla en otras latitudes, se desarrolló una investigación con enfoque cualitativo mediante entrevistas in situ, a lo largo de todo el país, a sociólogos/as que trabajan ejecutando programas sociales. Los hallazgos alcanzados luego del análisis de contenidos se circunscriben a la evolución de la sociología en Chile, a los límites profesionales de esta como construcción relativa y a la especificidad de la sociología. Sobre la base de las características del surgimiento de la sociología chilena y de las subjetividades profesionales vertidas en los discursos recogidos, se concluye que, si bien están presentes factores de desprofesionalización, la sociología en el país no estaría experimentando tal fenómeno, sino que más bien correspondería a un modo particular de pensar y hacer sociología en Latinoamérica, derivado de su origen bicéfalo: como disciplina y como profesión. Es decir, con un alma en que anidan inquietudes propiamente intelectuales que conviven con anhelos de transformación social. La relación dialéctica entre ambos componentes haría de la sociología chilena una disciplina y una profesión generadora de un espiral de conocimientos socialmente útiles, y le daría rasgos particulares como una sociología comprometida con valores ligados a la transformación social, lo que se plasma en una intervención activa en la sociedad.
Aproximación a la institucionalización de la sociología en Bolivia. Un estudio sobre el Instituto de Sociología Boliviana (Isbo)
Authors: Yapu Condo Mario , Apaza Ontiveros Edgar Fernando , Antezana Flores Ronald
Published: September 2019

A principios del siglo xxi, en Bolivia se intentó hacer de la universidad un “objeto de conocimiento”, aunque no fue posible, esos esfuerzos quedaron plasmados en algunas publicaciones. Sucede lo propio desde una perspectiva histórica, pues los escasos estudios realizados abarcan solo hasta 1930. En este contexto, el artículo aborda los vaivenes de institucionalización de la sociología como disciplina, en sus dimensiones de investigación y formación, tensionada entre proyectos intelectuales, políticos, competencias entre áreas y dificultades financieras. Actualmente, Bolivia cuenta con cinco carreras de sociología, la primera fue creada en 1967 en la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (umsa), de La Paz, y la última en 2006 en la Universidad de San Francisco Xavier (USFX), de Chuquisaca. En este caso se toma por objeto el Instituto de Sociología Boliviana (Isbo) de la usfx, creado en 1940, para describir y analizar los principales factores que intervinieron en la emergencia y el desarrollo de la sociología. La problematización del tema se basa en la discusión sobre la institución e institucionalización en el campo educativo-universitario que remonta hasta los autores clásicos como Durkheim, pero recoge sobre todo los aportes de Foucault, Bourdieu, Kuhn o Laudan, en la medida que la institucionalización de la investigación y los modelos de formación es un proceso social, político y mental o simbólico de los grupos sociales; lo que permite conectar con la idea de tradiciones —en lugar de paradigmas— que suponen la instalación de una temporalidad lógica, práctica y mental. Por eso, para evitar los riesgos de un cierto funcionalismo-sistémico que asedia al conocimiento de las instituciones, introducimos la idea de conflicto y tensión en el análisis. La metodología se basa en datos primarios y secundarios, entre los primarios —lo esencial del trabajo— se hizo una revisión documental en los archivos universitarios referidos al Isbo, correspondencias, informes, etc. La intención fue combinar un análisis genealógico e institucional basado en datos en torno al caso del Isbo como una herramienta teórica-metodológica en el proceso de argumentación discursiva sobre la institucionalización, similar a otros casos en América Latina.
El eterno retorno de lo mismo: círculos viciosos en busca de una ciencia nacional independiente
Authors: Gómez-Morales Yuri Jack
Published: September 2019

Temo haberme puesto en serios aprietos con el título que propuse originalmente para esta contribución porque, la verdad, ese fue mi primer pensamiento, mi primera reacción cuando consideré nuevamente la posibilidad atender otra vez a un compromiso académico, con ustedes, los mismos de siempre, para hablar de las mismas cosas de las que he hablado por los últimos 20 años tal vez, y sin nada nuevo que decir porque en verdad nada nuevo ha pasado. Así fue como me despaché con ese término grandilocuente del “Eterno retorno de lo mismo” que introdujera el bigotudo Nietzsche hace 130 años para hablar sobre su concepción ética de la existencia.
Phenological scale for the mortiño or agraz (Vaccinium meridionale Swartz) in the high Colombian Andean area
Authors: Medina Cano Clara I. , Martínez Bustamante Enrique , López Orozco Carlos A.
Published: September 2019

Mortiño, Vaccinium meridionale Swartz, represents a viable alternative for fruit growing because of the presence of appropriate ecological niches and spontaneous populations in the Colombian Andean zone. The knowledge of plants’ phenology is useful to identify the response to critical periods (stages and phases) to different biotic or abiotic factors and to define agronomic practices adjusted to their requirements. Only the different phenological stages have been recognized in the mortiño; therefore, it is necessary to detail the phases within each one of them. The identification of the phenological stages and phases of the mortiño’s canopy evolution was based on the scale of the blueberries Vaccinium corymbosum. It was adjusted between 2008 and 2011 to describe in detail the phenological stages of mortiño through monthly photographic records in five natural populations of three Colombian departments; where 48 individuals were randomly identified in each one. The purpose of the elaboration of this scale was to describe and visually identify the phenological phases of natural populations in similar climatic conditions. Four stages were found, the first one comprised the vegetative button formation (VB) with 5 phases, which ends with the formation of shoots. The second stage was the development of the inflorescence (ID) distributed in 5 phases as well, from floral bud to floral anthesis. In the third stage, the floral development (FD) took place, also with 5 phases, from flowering to the beginning of berry formation. The last stage, the berries were developed (BD) through 4 phases, from fruit formation until harvest maturity.
Populations of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) cause significant damage to genetically modified corn crops

Published: September 2019

The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)) is an important harmful pest for corn crops in Colombia. Knowing its population’s fluctuation regarding genetically modified plants allows the implementation of monitoring plans and time-effective management actions. The objective of this study was to establish the population’s fluctuation of S. frugiperda during 2014-2016 in the hybrids 30F35R and 30F35HR (genetically modified with the Cry1F endotoxin) in El Espinal, Tolima, Colombia. Accumulations in five growing cycles were carried out until 20, 40, 60, 80, and 104 days with the number of larvae per linear meter after emergence per year and per hybrid. Results were compared statistically using linear mixed models. On the other hand, two dummy variables that reckon the presence of larvae and damage were calculated. With the indicators of presence (one) and absence (zero), a longitudinal logistic prediction model was constructed. Larger accumulation of larvae was registered in the hybrid 30F35R (6.79±0.20); however, the genetically modified genotype 30F35HR also registered the presence of larvae (4.24±0.20), inferring that the endotoxin did not exercise total control over the populations. The vegetative stage showed a higher larval population. However, when this stage is not managed, the crop can show damage up to 52% and 72% in hybrid plants with and without Cry1F, respectively. This behavior suggests that if refuge areas and strategies such as pest monitoring are not established, these insects could generate higher resistances to the plants with the endotoxin Cry1F.

Published: September 2019

Whey is a dairy industry by-product with an adverse environmental impact; therefore, obtaining sweeteners from it promote a circular economy and is an alternative to mitigate the environmental problems. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of different inclusions (10%, 20%, and 30%) of Glucose-Galactose syrup (GGS), obtained from whey, on the physicochemical, sensory, and stability properties of a milk caramel spread. Results showed that the syrup has a significant effect on the techno-functional properties of the final product since it turns into a darker color when the concentrations of syrup increased. Besides, the yield of the product was higher (41.4%), providing a higher volume. In a replacement of 30% GGS, the milk caramel spread at a lower amount of soluble solids achieved a texture similar to the other inclusions. At a sensory level, consumers accepted all formulations with an acceptance higher than 90%. During the storage time (60 d), different evaluated parameters increased.

Published: September 2019

The growing degree-days (GDD) provide an estimate of the accumulated thermal energy available for the development of a crop. The use of GDD allows measuring the heat requirements associated with the phenological stages of the crop, which allows in turn, to predict when a certain plant stage will occur knowing the daily temperatures. The aim of this study was to establish relationships among the effect of degree days (DD) to vegetative growth, first flowering and fructification (VG, Fl and Fr), on total yield per plant (TY/P) of eggplant grown under open-field conditions employing a randomized complete block design with 15 genotypes and four replicates. The results showed that: 1) The genotypes that initiated fruit production in less time required fewer GDD (892.14-1,077.71 °C) for this phenological phase, obtaining higher productivity. 2) The genotypes C035 and C040 had an average yield higher than the national average with values of 83.75 and 84.86 t ha-1, being identified as future varieties to be produced in the Caribbean region. 3) The Caribbean region is suitable for the establishment of the crop as there were no events with limiting temperatures for this species (higher than 35 °C and lower than 15 °C). 4) The principal component analysis showed associations among the variable YT/P with the genotypes C011, C042, and C015; meanwhile, C032, C025, and C028 were associated with the variables DD to VG, Fl, and Fr. These results would be useful in developing a model to estimate yield with DD.
Weapon-carrying is associated with more permissive gambling attitudes and perceptions and at-risk/problem gambling in adolescents
Authors: Zhai Zu Wei , Hoff Rani A. , Magruder Caitlin F. , Steinberg Marvin A. , Wampler Jeremy , Krishnan-Sarin Suchitra , Potenza Marc N.
Published: September 2019

Background and aims

A recent call to action highlighted the need to understand the relationship between problem gambling, violence, and health/functioning. As weapon-carrying and gambling behaviors are prevalent in adolescents, this study systematically examined relationships between weapon-carrying status and measures of problem gambling severity and gambling perceptions and attitudes, as well as how weapon-carrying status moderated relationships between problem gambling severity and measures of health/functioning and gambling behavior.

Methods

Participants were 2,301 Connecticut high-school adolescents. χ2 and logistic regression models were conducted.

Results

Weapon-carriers reported greater problem gambling severity, more permissive gambling perceptions, greater parental approval of gambling, and more family gambling concerns, compared to non-weapon-carriers. At-risk/problem gambling was more strongly associated with family, peers, and adult gambling partners among non-weapon-carriers (vs. weapon-carriers) and with machine gambling among weapon-carriers (vs. non-weapon-carriers).

Discussion and conclusions

Greater problem gambling severity and more permissive gambling perceptions and perceived parental approval of gambling in weapon-carrying adolescents suggest that parent–child relationships are important to be considered in prevention efforts. The moderated relationship by weapon-carrying status between problem gambling severity and gambling partners suggests a problem gambling risk group that may be less linked to gambling with traditional social support groups, and this group may benefit from targeted interventions.

Relação público-privada na política brasileira de atenção cardiovascular de alta complexidade
Authors: Oliveira Petter Ricardo de , Guerra Mariana , Gomes Adalmir de Oliveira , Martins Aiane Luiz
Published: September 2019

Abstract Specialized health care in Brazil has been provided by the private sector under public regulation and financing since the 1950s. It continued after the promulgation of the 1988 Federal Constitution, which also created the Unified Health System (SUS). In the last decades, the share of the private sector has increased in tertiary care, including cardiovascular services, generating changes in SUS. This study analyzes the public-private relationship in the National Tertiary Care Policy for Cardiovascular Conditions from 2008 to 2014. The results indicate that, compared to the public sector, the private sector has a greater share in both tertiary care for cardiovascular conditions and receivables for providing health services. This points to a contradiction in the management of the health system in Brazil, which, albeit public, all-population-oriented, and free in its conception, has privileged the private sector.
The history of Luiz Simões Lopes: a leader between administration and politics
Authors: Caminha Daniel Ouriques
Published: September 2019

Resumo A partir da utilização do método biográfico, este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a origem social, a trajetória, as estratégias de ascensão, os recursos sociais herdados ou adquiridos e os respectivos princípios de legitimação de Luiz Simões Lopes, um dos homens de confiança de Getúlio Vargas incumbido de dirigir o Departamento Administrativo do Serviço Público (Dasp) durante o período do Estado Novo. Seguindo a hipótese que afirma acerca da condição periférica da sociedade brasileira e, consequentemente, da inexistência de estruturas sociais em que o título profissional seja o principal critério de hierarquização de uma sociedade humana, propôs-se aqui explicitar e analisar os condicionantes sociais que levaram Luiz Simões Lopes à condição e ao reconhecimento enquanto elite dirigente responsável pela importação de modelos e princípios da administração científica norte-americana. Assim concluiu-se que, em função das bases de dominação pessoal já existentes, os novos recursos racional-formais importados foram redefinidos nas lutas políticas pelo controle do Estado brasileiro.

Resumo Esta pesquisa objetivou identificar aspectos interferentes na implementação da gestão estratégica de pessoas (GEP) nos órgãos do Poder Legislativo Federal brasileiro e as possíveis relações entre eles. Por meio de entrevistas e grupos focais realizados com 16 gestores do Senado Federal (SF) e da Câmara dos Deputados (CD) foram identificados 21 aspectos interferentes, divididos em categorias institucionais, políticas, organizacionais e setoriais, bem como foram elaborados modelos teórico-empíricos das influências exercidas por cada um dos aspectos sobre os demais, a partir do que se concluiu que os condicionantes mais significativos teriam natureza política, pois definiriam os recursos e a autonomia disponíveis para as unidades de gestão de pessoas (GP) conduzirem o processo de implementação.
Profissionalizando a burocracia e construindo capacidades: avanços desiguais na administração pública brasileira?
Authors: Fernandes Ciro Campos Christo , Palotti Pedro Lucas de Moura
Published: September 2019

Abstract This article contributes to the discussion on public administration in Brazil. It examines the differences between the four functions of the state (basic functions, welfare, infrastructure and development, and emerging functions), based on the positions and careers of public servants. The data were collected in 2014 using a survey with public managers from different agencies of the Brazilian federal administration. The results point to distinctions regarding the roles played by middle managers, considering their distribution by state functions, profile, and activities. In a historical perspective, although there are basic functions that constitute the state, the creation of new careers and the recruitment of staff in the bureaucracy resulted in unequal development of the different state functions, generating imbalance and asymmetries. Also, emerging functions are generating new, more flexible, and dynamic ways for managers to work, which have renewed the Brazilian bureaucracy, albeit in a limited and heterogeneous way.

Resumo Este estudo de caso múltiplo teve por objetivo analisar como o middle manager (MM), a partir de seus papéis estratégicos, associa as decisões racionais e intuitivas no processo de tomada de decisão estratégica (TDE) em hospitais públicos de ensino (HPE). Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista e análise de documentos. A análise de dados ocorreu considerando os elementos constitutivos: racionalidade; síntese intuitiva; e middle manager. Constatamos que, quando o MM articula com o topo da organização, assume os papéis de defensor e sintetizador, aflorando as decisões racionais. Quando articula com a base, desempenha os papéis de facilitador e implementador, emergindo as decisões intuitivas. Como contribuição, apresentamos as dimensões objetivas e (inter)subjetivas no processo de TDE, evidenciando a complexidade dos papéis estratégicos do MM em situações deliberadas e emergentes nos HPE.

Published: September 2019

Resumo A administração pública tem o papel na sociedade de gerenciar o patrimônio público de modo a proporcionar melhores níveis de bem-estar social, promovendo maior desenvolvimento socioeconômico. A utilização eficiente dos recursos públicos apresenta-se como um princípio básico para que a gestão pública alcance seus objetivos. Além disso, a transparência e o controle, proporcionados pela gestão fiscal, apresentam-se como fatores capazes de otimizar os resultados no setor público, uma vez que conduzem os gestores públicos a boas práticas gerenciais. Nesse contexto, este artigo analisa os efeitos da gestão fiscal e da eficiência da gestão pública no desenvolvimento socioeconômico municipal. Utilizou-se a análise envoltória de dados (data envelopment analysis - DEA) e regressão linear para analisar os 184 municípios cearenses, no período de 2007 a 2013. Os resultados indicam que a gestão fiscal e a eficiência da gestão pública influenciam positivamente o desenvolvimento socioeconômico municipal, sinalizando que os gestores públicos devem melhorar a eficiência de sua gestão e observar as regras de controle fiscal.
Comparison of costs with car drivers in a federal university: public servants vs outsourced professionals
Authors: Caldeira Luiza Barbosa , Caldeira Pedro Zany
Published: September 2019

Resumo Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo verificar se a terceirização de serviços é economicamente mais vantajosa do que a manutenção de servidores públicos federais no cargo de motorista. A análise compreendeu um período de 5 anos, de 2013 a 2017, com os 2 tipos de mão de obra, na Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). O estudo de caso se baseou em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para a compilação dos dados necessários para a comparação. Os resultados demonstraram que para o cargo de motorista, a terceirização envolve uma redução de custos anuais e que os altos custos verificados nas folhas de pagamento dos servidores decorrem, principalmente, dos adicionais e auxílios aos quais têm direito, de acordo com a Lei n. 8.112 (1990). Porém, quanto à decisão de terceirizar determinado serviço, deve-se considerar, ainda, a reposição de mão de obra, a qualidade do serviço e as aposentadorias.
Filiações partidárias e nomeações para cargos da burocracia federal (1999-2018)
Authors: Lopez Felix , Silva Thiago Moreira da
Published: September 2019

Resumo Quantos são e a quais partidos estão filiados os nomeados para os cargos do alto e médio escalão da burocracia federal brasileira? Há diferenças entre mandatos presidenciais? Para responder essas perguntas, construímos uma base de dados inédita referente aos filiados a partidos políticos em cargos de direção e assessoramento superior (DAS). Nossa análise descritiva aponta que a proporção de filiados aumentou nos governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) e é maior entre nomeados sem vínculo com o setor público. A concentração de poder entre os partidos - principalmente entre o partido presidencial e os demais - variou de modo significativo entre presidentes. O controle partidário sobre os nomeados filiados é mais brando nos cargos de nível intermediário e maior nos níveis superiores. Entretanto, os filiados são minoria, mesmo nos cargos de mais alto poder político-administrativo. Por isso, sugerimos que, possivelmente, as redes de conexão política que definem os quadros da burocracia decisória também se constroem por meios extrapartidários e compreendê-las se mostra decisivo para dimensionar o peso da política partidária na burocracia ministerial e reinterpretar como o Poder Executivo constrói e gerencia a coalizão de governo e seu apoio no Poder Legislativo.

Published: September 2019

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of ethanol vapor during storage in modified atmosphere on the ripening and maintenance of the postharvest quality of ‘Laetitia’ plums. The plums were obtained from an orchard in the municipality of Lages, SC. The experimental design adopted was completely randomized. The treatments evaluated were ethanol vapor doses (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mL kg-1 of fruit). The fruits were stored at 0.5±0.2°C and 92±2% RH for 30 days. Upon their removal from storage followed by another three days in room conditions (20±5ºC and 63±2% RH), the fruits were evaluated in relation to their physical and chemical attributes, incidence and intensity of internal browning, quantification of ethanol, acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate, and the activity of enzymes peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. The application of ethanol vapor was efficient in maintaining the fruits flesh firmness, reducing the evolution of the red coloring, and resulted in greater activity of enzymes peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. However, the doses evaluated were not efficient in reducing the internal browning.

Y nuestra conclusión es que, dignos sucesores de la herencia de sus antepasados, no sólo multiplicaron la herencia ampliando el imperio, sino transformando también la autoctonía en autarquía y con ella en libertad. A la convicción del esfuerzo como medio de lograr sus objetivos sumaron el valor de la responsabilidad (tanto en su vida pública como en su vida privada, uniendo así la autonomía y la tolerancia personales a la libertad, la igualdad y el mérito públicos) y el del hedonismo, que lograron compatibilizar con el valor y la planificación racional de sus empresas. Finalmente, consideró dignos de recuerdo no sólo los éxitos, sino también los fracasos, esto es, trasladó la moralidad desde el mundo exterior al mundo interior, regido ya por la conciencia.
MAQUIAVEL: A AMBIÇÃO E O DILEMA DAS LEIS AGRÁRIAS
Authors: Ostrensky Eunice
Published: September 2019

Resumo O debate sobre as leis agrárias e os limites da propriedade privada colocam em campos opostos partidários da nobreza e da plebe. Os primeiros acusam os proponentes de reformas agrárias de avançarem sobre a propriedade legítima, causando o fim da república romana, enquanto os últimos denunciam o caráter predatório das aquisições à custa do bem público e da liberdade. Este artigo procura mostrar que no capítulo 37, Livro I, dos Discursos sobre a década de Tito Lívio, Nicolau Maquiavel apresenta sua versão dessa controvérsia, adotando o princípio retórico in utramque partem e explorando o dilema gerado pela consideração da ambição nos assuntos humanos, para recusar uma solução mediada entre as duas partes.
Maquiavel, pensador trágico
Authors: Costa Jean Castro da
Published: September 2019

Resumo O artigo defende que Maquiavel foi um pensador trágico. Após breve introdução sobre os aspectos centrais de uma visão trágica de mundo, apresento, na primeira seção, evidências de que o autor de O Príncipe poderia ter chegado a esta visão a partir das fontes disponíveis no seu contexto intelectual. Entre estas fontes, destaco a recepção do livro De Rerum Natura, de Lucrécio, na Florença renascentista. Na segunda seção, procuro explicitar a visão trágica do cosmos presente nos textos de Maquiavel, com ênfase na sua teoria do encontro (riscontro). Na terceira seção, defendo que diante deste cosmos trágico, Maquiavel coloca-se em favor de uma afirmação trágica, que aposta na virtù mesmo sabendo que seu sucesso depende de um encontro feliz com a Fortuna, que pode acontecer ou não.

Abstract: This study aimed to present a list of the species of frugivorous butterflies occurring in Atlantic Forests, in the Conservation Units: National Forest of Chapecó (FLONA), Ecological Station of Mata Preta (ESEC) and State Park of Araucárias (PAEAR) and adjacent forest fragments, located in the western region of the state of Santa Catarina. Three samplings were conducted between December 2017 and March 2018, totaling 24 days of collection in each sampling area. Van Someren-Rydon traps were used to capture frugivorous butterflies. There were 4,231 frugivorous butterflies belonging to four subfamilies, 12 tribes and 49 species. In all, 37 species of frugivorous butterflies were sampled in FLONA and 29 in adjacent forest fragments. In ESEC, 29 species and 33 in adjacent forest fragments. In PAEAR, 33 species and 28 in adjacent forest fragments. Of the total species registered, 15 species are new records for the state of Santa Catarina and 11 are new records for the western region of the state. The most abundant species for FLONA were: Manataria hercyna (Hübner, 1821) and Hermeuptychia sp. In ESEC, were Hermeuptychia sp. and Yphthimoides ordinaria (Freitas, Kaminski & Mielke, 2012). In PAEAR, greater abundance of Forsterinaria quantius (Godart, 1824) and Eryphanes reevesii (Doubleday, 1849) were verified. For the adjacent forest fragments to Conservation Units, there was a greater abundance of Hermeuptychia sp., Moneuptychia soter (Butler, 1877), Morpho epistrophus (Fabricius, 1796) e Forsterinaria quantius (Godart, 1824). Satyrinae presented higher richness (S = 34) and abundance (90.58%) in all areas sampled. The rarefaction and extrapolation curves for the Conservation Units and adjacent forest fragments showed a greater rise in the FLONA and PAEAR sampling units and their adjacent forest fragments. The estimated sampling coverage for Conservation Unit and forest fragments was above 97%. The richness calculated through the Jackknife 1 estimator, for the FLONA and PAEAR samplings, presented a value of 50.75 and 37.09, respectively. The fauna of frugivorous butterflies from this region, first investigated in areas of Conservation Units, showed to be expressive and well represented in the Atlantic Forest Biome, indicating its potential as a refuge for biodiversity.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the causes of misdiagnosis in assessing tubal patency by transvaginal real-time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy), in order to improve the diagnostic efficiency of TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy. METHODS A total of 162 oviducts of 83 infertility patients were examined by TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy. These results were compared with the gold standard for laparoscopic dye studies, and the misdiagnosed cases were analyzed. RESULTS TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy revealed that 68 oviducts were unobstructed and 94 obstructed. The results for the 144 oviducts were in line with the gold standard, while those for 18 oviducts were not. The accuracy rate of the TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy was 88.9%, and the misdiagnosis rate was 11.1%. The main causes of misdiagnosis included contrast medium countercurrent and diffusion, oviduct spasm, abnormal shape or position of the oviduct, pelvic adhesion, and poor imaging operation. CONCLUSION TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy can well-evaluate tubal patency, and understand and improve the cause of misdiagnosis. Furthermore, the diagnostic efficiency of TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy can still be further improved.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Diabetes is a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). However, its mechanism of pathogenesis has not been elucidated. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of inflammation and the toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in ischemic AKI for diabetes. METHODS A high glucose hypoxia-reoxygenation model of human renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells was used to generate AKI induced by ischemia-reperfusion in diabetes. The activity of cells was measured by CCK-8 assay and LDH activity. Inflammatory cytokines were assessed by ELISA. TLR7, MyD88, and NF-κB expressions were examined by western blotting. Apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS The high glucose group and low glucose group were subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation. The low glucose group developed only mild cell damage, apoptosis, and inflammatory response. In contrast, an equivalent hypoxia-reoxygenation injury provoked severe cell damage, apoptosis, and inflammatory response in the high glucose group. Expression of TLR7 and its related proteins were measured in the high glucose group before and after hypoxia-reoxygenation. The high glucose group exhibited more significant increases in TLR7 expression following hypoxia-reoxygenation than the low glucose group. In addition, the expression of TLR7 and its related proteins after hypoxia-reoxygenation were higher in the high glucose group than in the low glucose group. Inhibition of TLR7 provides significant protection against ischemic injury in diabetes. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that diabetes increases the vulnerability to ischemia-induced renal injury. This increased vulnerability originates from a heightened inflammatory response involving the TLR7 signal transduction pathway.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the hospitalizations of the elderly for conditions sensitive to primary care (ICSAP) and associated contextual factors, referring to elderly people aged 60 and over, living in municipalities in the Northeast region. METHODS Characterized as being an ecological study using data from the Hospital Information System (SIH) and the Basic Attention Information System (SIAB) referring to elderly people aged 60 and over. RESULTS The total hospitalization rate was 527,524, with the highest number due to heart failure, followed by cerebrovascular diseases, and infectious gastroenteritis. Analyzing the ICSAP rates with the contextual factors, all were significant. Regarding the coverage of basic care, a similarity occurred between them, and for the rate of the number of consultations among the elderly, despite the greater number of these in the municipalities with higher hospitalization rates, there was no significant difference between them. CONCLUSION We conclude that the contextual factors interfere in the conditions of this hospitalization, necessitating, besides the improvement of primary care, an improvement in the living conditions of the elderly population.
