Published: February 2018

O uso de etanol é fundamental para aumentar a sustentabilidade ambiental do biodiesel, bem como o reaproveitamento de óleos residuais de fritura (ORF). O presente trabalho objetivou otimizar a produção do biodiesel etílico a partir de ORF, utilizando um processo conjugado quimiometricamente otimizado de esterificação ácida seguida de uma transesterificação alcalina, via planejamento experimental 23. Para a esterificação o rendimento foi obtido pela redução do índice de acidez e para a transesterificação pela porcentagem do teor de ésteres totais, confirmado com a análise de mono-, di- e triacilglicerídeos. A produção do biodiesel etílico de ORF otimizada com o processo de esterificação com 2,5% de H2SO4 e razão molar de etanol: ORF de 11:1 por 4 h, a transesterificação com 1,5% da concentração de KOH e razão molar etanol: matéria graxa de 13:1 por 4 h, resultou em um biodidesel com qualidade similar à do biodiesel comercial.

Published: February 2018

Stroke is a type of cerebrovascular disease that occurs because blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Examination of stroke accurately using CT scan, but the tool is not always available, so it can be done by the Siriraj Score. Each type of stroke has similar symptoms so doctors should re-examine similar cases prior to diagnosis. The hypothesis of the Case-based reasoning (CBR) method is a similar problems having similar solution.This research implements CBR concept using Siriraj score, dense index and Jaccard Coeficient method to perform similarity calculation between cases.The test is using k-fold cross validation with 4 fold and set values of threshold (0.65), (0.7), (0.75), (0.8), (0.85), (0.9), and (0.95). Using 45 cases of data test  and 135 cases of case base. The test showed that threshold of 0.7 is suitable to be applied in sensitivity (89.88%) and accuracy (84.44% for CBR using indexing and 87.78% for CBR without indexing). Threshold of 0.65 resulted high sensitivity  and accuracy but showed many cases of irrelevant retrieval results. Threshold (0.75), (0.8), (0.85), (0.9) and (0.95) resulted in sensitivity (65.48%, 59.52%, 5.95%, 3,57% and 0%) and accuracy of CBR using indexing (61.67%, 55.56%, 5.56%, 3.33%, and 0%) and accuracy of CBR without indexing (62.78% 56.67%, 55.56%, 5.56%, 3.33%, and 0%).

Published: February 2018

Various clustering methods to obtain optimal information continues to evolve one of its development is Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). Adaptive Unified Differential Evolution (AuDE), is the development of Differential Evolution (DE) which is one of the EA techniques. AuDE has self adaptive scale factor control parameters (F) and crossover-rate (Cr).. It also has a single mutation strategy that represents the most commonly used standard mutation strategies from previous studies.The AuDE clustering method was tested using 4 datasets. Silhouette Index and CS Measure is a fitness function used as a measure of the quality of clustering results. The quality of the AuDE clustering results is then compared against the quality of clustering results using the DE method.The results show that the AuDE mutation strategy can expand the cluster central search produced by ED so that better clustering quality can be obtained. The comparison of the quality of AuDE and DE using Silhoutte Index is 1:0.816, whereas the use of CS Measure shows a comparison of 0.565:1. The execution time required AuDE shows better but Number significant results, aimed at the comparison of Silhoutte Index usage of 0.99:1 , Whereas on the use of CS Measure obtained the comparison of 0.184:1.

Authors: Ihsan Muhammad , Pulungan Reza , Afiahayati A
Published: February 2018

Library services quality is one of the most vital parts in library management. Evaluation of the library services based on the perspective of users is important. In this paper, we propose a collaboration of GDSS-AHP (Group Decision Support System-Analytical Hierarchy Process), LibQual, and IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) methods to evaluate library services quality. The collaboration of GDSS-AHP and LibQual is used to calculate the weight of each evaluation statement and the level of library services quality based on users’ perception and expectation. IPA is then used to determine the position of the value of each evaluation statement in IPA’s four quadrants to obtain the recommended level for the library services improvement. This study is conducted at the Library of the Ministry of Trade of Indonesia, involving four decision makers: a head librarian, a library academic expert, and two library practitioners. Fifty library visitors become respondents to assess the quality services questionnaires. Based on their responses, we obtain that users’ satisfaction level is at least satisfied by 76.49 %. Meanwhile, usability testing is also conducted on the developed system by using three observation elements: effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. The usability testing is performed on five respondents, one admin, and two decision makers, and results in an average usability level of 90.03%.

Disproportionate Insider Control and the Demand for Audit Quality
Authors: Forst Arno , Hettler Barry R.
Published: February 2018

We examine the relationship between disproportionate insider control, enabled through dual-class share structures, and the demand for audit quality. Using a comprehensive hand-collected sample of U.S. dual-class firms, we find that, consistent with outside shareholders' increased demand for external monitoring, as well as self-bonding by entrenched insiders, disproportionate insider control is positively associated with the propensity to hire a Big 4 or industry specialist auditor, auditor independence, and audit fees. Corroborating a self-bonding explanation, additional analyses show that audit quality mitigates the negative association of disproportionate insider control and firm value. In expanded analyses, we also investigate the separate effects of insider voting and cash flow rights on the demand for audit quality in dual-class firms. Consistent with general agency theory, we find a decreased (increased) demand for audit quality from incentive-alignment (entrenchment) effects of ownership.
Customer-Base Concentration: Implications for Audit Pricing and Quality
Authors: Krishnan Gopal V. , Patatoukas Panos N. , Wang Annika Yu
Published: February 2018

What are the implications of major customer dependency, i.e., the degree of a supplier firm's dependency on its major customers, for external auditors? While the conventional view emphasizes the negatives of major customer dependency for client business risk, we find that suppliers with more concentrated customer bases spend less on audit fees. The evidence is consistent with reduced audit effort due to efficiency gains in the audit process, especially when suppliers with more concentrated customer bases share the same auditors with their long-standing major customers. The audit fee discount we identify does not imply that audit quality declines with customer-base concentration. In fact, we find that suppliers with more concentrated customer bases are less likely to experience material restatements of previously audited financial statements. Taking the external auditors' perspective, our study provides new managerial insights on the costs and benefits of major customer relationships for supplier firms.

Authors: Hull Rebecca L. , Gibson Ronald L. , McNamara Sharon , Deutsch Gail H. , Fligner Corinne L. , Frevert Charles W. , Ramsey Bonnie W. , Sanda Srinath
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE

Cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) is a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), increasing patient morbidity and mortality. Poor understanding of CFRD pathogenesis limits the development of targeted therapies to treat and/or prevent the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate islet pathology, specifically, inflammation, amyloid deposition, and endocrine cell composition in subjects with CF with diabetes and with CF without diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A retrospective analysis of archived pancreas tissue collected at autopsy was conducted using pancreas tissue from subjects with CF and diabetes (CFRD) (n = 18) and CF without diabetes (CF-no DM) (n = 17). Two cohorts of control non-CF subjects were identified, each matched to CFRD and CF-no DM subjects for age, sex, and BMI (non-CF older, n = 20, and non-CF younger, n = 20), respectively. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and islet hormone (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide) immunoreactivity; histochemistry was performed to quantify amyloid deposition.

RESULTS

Islet IL-1β immunoreactivity was substantially increased in both CFRD and CF-no DM subjects compared with non-CF subjects and was common in young subjects with CF (≤10 years of age). In contrast, islet amyloid deposition was increased only in CFRD subjects. We also observe abnormal islet hormone immunoreactivity, characterized by increased glucagon immunoreactivity, in CF-no DM and CFRD subjects compared with non-CF subjects.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings reveal novel molecular pathways and therapeutic targets underlying islet pathology in CF subjects and may be important in developing new approaches to treat CFRD.

Published: February 2018

Objectives:

The aim of this study was to quantify the internal void volume formation in commercially available, resin composites inserted using conventional or sonic insertion methods, and analyzed using three-dimensional (3D) micro-computed tomography (μCT).

Methods and Materials:

Four resin composites were evaluated: one conventional (Herculite, Ultra, Kerr Corporation, Orange, CA, USA), one flowable bulk fill (SureFil SDR Flow, Dentsply International, York, PA, USA), and two packable bulk fill (SonicFill, Kerr Corporation, and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Ivoclar Vivadent Inc, Schaan, Liechtenstein). Eight groups were evaluated according to each resin composite type and insertion method (conventional or sonic; n=5). Forty ABS 3D-printed cylindrical molds, 5.0 mm in diameter and 4.0 mm in depth, were fabricated. For the conventional resin composite, the mold was filled incrementally (two layers), while for bulk-fill resin composites, insertion was performed in a single increment. The sonic insertion method was performed using a specific handpiece (SonicFill Handpiece, Kerr Corporation). Resin composites were light cured using a multipeak light-emitting diode light-curing unit (VALO, Ultradent Products Inc, South Jordan, UT, USA) in its regular mode. Samples were evaluated by μCT, and data were imported into software (Amira, version 5.5.2, VSG, Burlington, MA, USA) for 3D reconstruction, from which the percentage of void volume was calculated. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc test at a preset alpha of 0.05.

Results:

The conventional insertion method resulted in reduced porosity, compared with sonic insertion, for SureFil SDR Flow and Tetric EvoCeram bulk fill. The sonic insertion method did not demonstrate any influence on void formation for Herculite Ultra or SonicFill.

Conclusion:

Results suggest that the sonic insertion method might increase void formation during resin composite delivery, depending on restorative material brand.

Objetivo: verificar o tempo ideal do exercício de vibração sonorizada de língua (EVSL) na voz de crianças disfônicas. Método: participaram vinte e sete crianças, entre 04 e 11 anos, com diagnóstico de nódulo ou cisto de pregas vocais. Dessas crianças, onze fizeram parte do grupo experimental (GE) e 16 do grupo controle (GC). A vogal sustentada /ε/ e a contagem de 1 a 10 foram registradas antes (m0) e após o primeiro (m1), terceiro (m3), quinto (m5) e o sétimo (m7) minuto de execução do EVSL. As gravações foram apresentadas a três fonoaudiólogas, que julgaram se houve modificação da qualidade vocal. Os parâmetros acústicos avaliados na vogal sustentada foram frequência fundamental, jitter, shimmer, glotal to noise excitation (GNE) e ruído. Resultados: na avaliação perceptivo-auditiva, não houve modificações significativas entre os momentos de execução do EVSL. Na análise acústica, observou-se que o parâmetro ruído diminuiu e o parâmetro GNE aumentou após três minutos de realização do exercício no GE, em comparação com o GC. Conclusão: não houve melhora em nenhum dos tempos na avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz de crianças disfônicas com o EVSL. A análise acústica indicou melhora da qualidade vocal aos três minutos de execução do exercício.

Introdução: As flutuações hormonais que ocorrem normalmente durante o ciclo menstrual podem interferir no sistema auditivo. A alteração mais encontrada neste período é a diminuição da acuidade auditiva, que parece estar mais associada à flutuação dos níveis de estrogênio, quando este se encontra reduzido na fase lútea final do período menstrual. Objetivo: Investigar por meio de uma revisão sistemática a percepção auditiva de mulheres durante as fases do ciclo menstrual. Método: Foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados eletrônicas, nacionais e internacionais, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed e SciELO, através da consulta pelos seguintes descritores: “percepção auditiva” AND “ciclo menstrual”, “percepção de fala” AND “ciclo menstrual”, “percepção de fala” AND “hormônios” e seus correspondentes na língua inglesa. Resultados: Dos 293 artigos encontrados, foram selecionados apenas 7 artigos, após os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A caracterização da amostra dos artigos selecionados variou entre 15 a 39 mulheres, com idade variando entre 17 e 46 anos. Na maioria dos artigos, nenhum tipo de procedimento clínico para estimar as fases do ciclo menstrual foi utilizado. Foi observada a realização de testes de percepção auditiva nos sete artigos selecionados, tendo destaque os testes dicóticos. Conclusão: Há necessidade da realização de mais pesquisas sobre o assunto, exigindo-se também maior rigor metodológico na elaboração desses estudos, através de procedimentos clínicos seguros e padronizados para mensuração dos níveis hormonais.

What to Expect from the Lower Bound on Interest Rates: Evidence from Derivatives Prices
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Mertens Thomas M. , Williams John C. ,   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Published: February 2018

This paper analyzes the effects of the lower bound for interest rates on the distributions of inflation and interest rates. We study a stylized New Keynesian model where the policy instrument is subject to a lower bound to motivate the empirical analysis. Two equilibria emerge: In the “target equilibrium,” policy is unconstrained most or all of the time, whereas in the “liquidity trap equilibrium,” policy is mostly or always constrained. We use options data on future interest rates and inflation to study whether the decrease in the natural real rate of interest leads to forecast densities consistent with the theoretical model. Qualitatively, we find that the evidence is consistent with the theoretical predictions in the target equilibrium and find no evidence in favor of the liquidity trap equilibrium. Quantitatively, while the lower bound has a sizable effect on the distribution of future interest rates, its impact on forecast densities for inflation is relatively modest. We develop a lower bound indicator that captures the effects of the lower bound on the distribution of interest rates.

El ensimismamiento en el ‘Urbanismo Urbano” como respuesta a las limitaciones del planeamiento territorial
Authors: López de Lucio Ramón
Published: February 2018

Las dificultades implícitas en el proyecto global de ciudad y en la configuración voluntaria de las transformaciones metropolitanas, han originado un movimiento pendular que niega la posibilidad -e incluso la conveniencia- de tal proyecto; la alternativa estribaría en reducir su contenido al diseño fragmentario de piezas urbanas concretas. Se ha producido un explicable retorno hacia los seguros cauces de la estricta disciplinaridad arquitectónica y proyectual, que nada quiere saber de contaminaciones "economicistas", "sociologistas" o "políticas" y que reivindica la pureza del diseño y la concepción de la ciudad como mera acumulación de arquitecturas de peor o mejor calidad.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la situación de la enseñanza del urbanismo en las Escuelas de Arquitectura del Estado, señalando y destacando su -eventual- adscripción paradigmática.Los medios disponibles -tiempo, personal, presupuesto, etc.- no nos han permitido realizar una encuesta en profundidad sobre la enseñanza del urbanismo, actualizando los trabajos que sobre esta cuestión ya existen: el que en los años setenta llevara a cabo el L.U.B. y el posterior de Rodríguez-Bachiller, en los ochenta. Además, el enfoque es diferente. Aquí se ha tratado de considerar exclusivamente en qué medida la enseñanza que se imparte hoy en día está influida por los diversos paradigmas urbanísticos que en la actualidad existen, o que han existido.

Education has certain achievement standards such as school supervision. An educational institution is required to meet the requirements of school administration. For that, school accreditation activities are conducted to improve the quality of education, especially at the institution. Some components that must be completed to conduct school accreditation activities are the instruments related to school activities such as curriculum, educator, learning process, facilities and infrastructure and financing. In the standard of facilities and infrastructure, the existence of the class becomes the core assessment as it relates to teaching and learning activities. After class physical fulfilment, good and conducive class management becomes the determinant of the effectiveness of learning activities. Therefore, good classroom management is necessary

Intestinal lymphoma in dogs: 84 cases (1997–2012)
Authors: Sogame Naoko , Risbon Rebecca , Burgess Kristine E.
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE To describe signalment, clinicopathologic features, and outcomes of dogs with confirmed primary intestinal lymphoma and assess factors associated with survival times in these patients.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 84 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES Medical records from 7 veterinary institutions were retrospectively reviewed to identify dogs with primary intestinal lymphoma. Data collected included signalment, clinical signs, anatomic location of tumors, diagnostic procedures, treatment, outcome, and dates of diagnosis and death.

RESULTS Overall median survival time (MST) was 62 days (range, 1 to 537 days). Factors associated with shorter survival time on univariate analysis included anorexia or septic peritonitis at the time of diagnosis and tumor location (intestinal tract only, intestinal tract and abdominal lymph nodes, or intestinal tract and extraintestinal organs). The most commonly noted changes in the intestinal tract were altered wall thickening with loss of layering (41 dogs) and presence of ≥ 1 discrete mass (24 dogs). Protocols based on cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone with or without l-asparaginase (48 dogs) or 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (14 dogs) were most commonly used as first-line treatment; the MSTs of dogs receiving these treatments (60 and 144 days, respectively) did not differ significantly.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The MST of dogs with primary intestinal lymphoma was poor, regardless of first-line treatment used. Anorexia and septic peritonitis were associated with poor prognosis.
Is galectin-3 a promoter of ventricular dysfunction?
Authors: Lupu Adrian , Lupu Silvia , Agoston-Coldea Lucia
Published: February 2018

Heart failure is nowadays a common condition associated with high mortality and increased healthcare-related costs. Over the years, the research on heart failure management has been extensive in order to better diagnose and treat the condition. Since the progression of left ventricular dysfunction is a consequence of myocardial inflammation, apopotosis, and fibrosis leading to myocardium remodelling, several molecules that are involved in the inflammation pathways have been explored as possible biomarkers for the condition. The study of biomarkers and their key roles in inflammation could allow early identification of patients with heart failure, improve prognostic assessment, and provide a target for future therapies. Among currently studied biomarkers, extensive research has been conducted on galectin-3, a galactoside-binding lectin, which is synthetised and secreted when cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts are submitted to mechanical stress. Accordingly, it has been hypothesised that galectin-3 could be a promoter of left ventricular dysfunction. Galectin-3 has been shown to mediate inflammation by several different pathways which are further detailed in the current review. Also, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of existing evidence on the utility of galectin-3 in clinical settings associated with heart failure.

Die Resistenzerscheinungen innerhalb professionalisierter Berufe gegenüber einer adäquaten Repräsentation von Frauen sind fünf Jahre vor der zweiten Jahrtausendwende immer noch nicht im Antiquariat patriarchaler Gesellschaftsgeschichte, sondern erweisen sich als äußerst hartnäckig. Der Arbeitsmarkt zeigt wohl am deutlichsten, wie weit Frauen gleichberechtigt vertreten sind. Er zeigt die Zugangschancen für Frauen und damit wird transparent, ob mit zunehmender Qualifikation von Frauen auch deren quantitatives Erscheinen in verschiedenen Sparten einhergeht. Tatsächlich ist es aber immer noch so, daß von einer geschlechtsspezifi­schen Segregation gesprochen werden muß. Die Veränderungen hin zu einer Angleichung, die im Qualifizierungsbereich festzustellen sind, tangieren die Berufsrealität nur gering. Die Hoffnung, daß die zunehmende Qualifizierung von Frauen für bis dahin von Männern domi­nierte Arbeitsplätze und Berufe deren Gleichverteilung fördern und realisieren würde, erwies sich zunächst, überraschenderweise, als Irrtum. Bei genauerem Blick auf die strukturellen und informellen Abläufe zeigt sich, wie gut das patriarchale System und seine Mechanismen funktionieren. Dabei wird bei der historischen Analyse der Entwicklung unterschiedlicher Berufe eines signifikant sichtbar: Das Etikett „Frauenberur• korreliert mit Prestige und Status und nicht mit Tätigkeitsinhalten. Es gibt viele Beispiele von Frauen in prestigeträchti­gen „Männerberufen", die uns heute durchwegs unbekannt sind. Dieses Phänomen bezeich­net Mary DOUGLAS als „sozial strukturiertes Vergessen". Im folgenden möchte ich auf einige dieser historischen Berufsrealitäten eingehen, um sie dem Vergessen zu entreißen.

Die >Gesichter Afrikas<
Authors: Pointner Andreas , Luger Kurt
Published: February 2018

Auf historischen Landkarten ist der afrikanische Kontinent viel zu klein dargestellt (vgl. BAGR0w/SKEL TON 1963, 146; vgl. PETERS, o.J .). Er scheint, allen geläufigen geographischen Theorien zum Trotz, während der letzten Jahrhunderte gewachsen zu sein. Dieses Phänomen ist kognitiver Natur: Da die Menschen früherer Jahrhunderte wenig über Afrika wußten, unterschätzten sie seine Fläche. Erst die Berichte westlicher Entdecker und Wissenschaftler gaben ihren Zeitgenossen eine bessere Vorstellung von Afrikas wahrer geographischer Dimension. Da sie ihre Beobachtungen und Entdeckungen mit westlichen Augen machten, bekam ihr Publikum ein verzerrtes Bild der sozialen, ökonomischen und kulturellen Aspekte dieses Kontinentes. Afrika-Bewußtsein und -Wissen der Europäer lagen in den Fesseln von Ethnozentrismus, Mißverständnis und Vorurteil. Die Protagonisten der »Entwicklungs-Kommunikation« und »Neuer Welt Informations­und Kommunikationsordnung« (NWICO) sind der Auffassung, daß sich bis heute an dieser Situation kaum etwas geändert hat. Auf den folgenden Seiten wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sie recht haben. Ist das von neun österreichischen Printmedien vermittelte Afrika-Bild ähnlich mangelhaft und verzerrt, wie die Werke früher Kartographen oder gehen sie auf die Vielfältigkeit des so heterogenen Kontinents ein?

Escuta, espanto e canto: o percurso do poema em Ferreira Gullar
Authors: Da Silva Mota Ana Carolina , Busato Susanna
Published: February 2018

Ferreira Gullar afirmou em diversas ocasiões, em textos críticos, biográficos e entrevistas, que sua poesia nasce do cotidiano e do espanto, que é a sensação de estranheza diante de objetos e situações já conhecidos. O objetivo deste artigo é observar se essas afirmações, feitas no plano teórico, de fato se dão na obra poética de Gullar, ou seja, se a fonte do poema é o cotidiano e o espanto diante dele. Para tanto, selecionou-se alguns poemas de Muitas vozes (1999) e serão considerados, além de escritos teóricos do próprio Gullar, textos de Octavio Paz, Maurice Blanchot e Jacques Aumont.
Sobre o pertencimento na poesia de Joseph von Eichendorff
Authors: Mathias Dionei
Published: February 2018

Joseph von Eichendorff é um dois mais importantes poetas do Romantismo de expressão alemã. Muitos de seus poemas, repletos de imagens da natureza e tempos passados, abordam uma experiência bem contemporânea: a busca pela sensação de pertencimento. Este artigo pretende discutir como a voz lírica administra esse anseio, como o desejo erótico representa um risco e, por fim, o papel da memória nesse contexto. Nos três poemas analisados, encontramos três etapas diferentes dessa busca. O resultado em todas elas é a ausência de pertencimento.
O verso decassílabo
Authors: Miranda José Américo , Souza Rilane Teles de
Published: February 2018

Este artigo examina alguns tratados de versificação em língua portuguesa, do século XVIII à segunda metade do século XX. A partir do Renascimento, predominou na poesia de língua portuguesa o decassílabo italiano. Nos séculos seguintes, os tratados de versificação o converteram em receita praticamente única para esse verso. No Simbolismo e no Modernismo, pela recuperação de esquemas rítmicos utilizados na Idade Média e pela utilização de outras possibilidades muito pouco usadas no passado, esse verso foi descristalizado, recuperou a enorme plasticidade que teve outrora. Uma amostra de poesia contemporânea, apresentada ao final do artigo, vai além das rupturas modernistas.
O redemoinho do lírico: acervo e metalinguagem no Museu-Casa de Cora Coralina - Carta de Tarquínio J. B. Oliveira para Cora Coralina, 1960
Authors: Britto Clovis Carvalho
Published: February 2018

Este trabalho evidencia as narrativas de museus-casas de literatura como formas de visibilidade dos acervos literários e reconhece os objetos tridimensionais como significativos elementos desses acervos. Compreende a narrativa museológica como um texto que auxilia na reconstrução de aspectos da trajetória do criador e, ao mesmo tempo, um modo de ampliar a leitura da obra, efetuando uma provocação metapoética. Essa argumentação é apresentada a partir do acervo pessoal da poeta Cora Coralina (1889-1985) sob a guarda do Museu-Casa de Cora Coralina, em Goiás-GO.
