The Pershing Myth: Trump, Islamophobic Tweets, And The Construction Of Public Memory.
Authors: Ouassini Anwar , Amini Mostafa
Published: May 2018

One of the enduring narratives of the 2016 presidential election was the nostalgic journey President Trump took the American public on to construct his â€˜Islamophobic memoryâ€™ surrounding General Pershingâ€™s actions during the American occupation of the Philippines. While the mobilization of memory by political actors is not new in Presidential elections, the mechanism utilized to impose and mobilize pubic memory was. This paper explores how the President Trumpâ€™s tweets via the Twitter social media platform transform into â€˜mediated sites of contentionâ€™ in the nurturance of public nostalgia. As a public â€˜siteâ€™ that is visited by millions of people -the tweet not only memorializes events of the past but it mobilizes meaning, memory, and the societyâ€™s sense of self, which has the ability to redirect and shape public memory. We argue that Trumpâ€™s nostalgic colonial folklore via the tweet serves his ideological sentiments and larger political platforms in order to promote a vision of the past to provide his right-wing ideologies and movement supporters currency.

Authors: Grigoraș Georgiana , Urițescu Bogdan
Published: May 2018

The aim of the study is to find the relationship between the land surface temperature and air temperature and to determine the hot spots in the urban area of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. The analysis was based on images from both moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), located on both Terra and Aqua platforms, as well as on data recorded by the four automatic weather stations existing in the endowment of The National Air Quality Monitoring Network, from the summer of 2017. Correlation coefficients between land surface temperature and air temperature were higher at night (0.8-0.87) and slightly lower during the day (0.71-0.77). After the validation of satellite data with in-situ temperature measurements, the hot spots in the metropolitan area of Bucharest were identified using Getis-Ord spatial statistics analysis. It has been achieved that the “very hot” areas are grouped in the center of the city and along the main traffic streets and dense residential areas. During the day the "very hot spots” represent 33.2% of the city's surface, and during the night 31.6%. The area where the mentioned spots persist, falls into the "very hot spot" category both day and night, it represents 27.1% of the city’s surface and it is mainly represented by the city center.
Combining Digital Elevation Data, Expert Knowledge and GIS for Geomorphological Mapping; The Case Study of Mount Hymettus, Athens, Greece
Authors: Skentos Athanasios
Published: May 2018

This study presents a geomorphological map for Mount Hymettus (Athens, Greece). The geomorphological content was produced by processing DEM derived topographic attributes, hydrography and geology. In particular, the backbone of this procedure was the definition of the appropriate criteria for landform identification by validating conditional statements for the processed data in a GIS environment. Extended fieldwork and photo-interpretation verified the outputs. Following the assessment, the derived landforms were grouped into the following geomorphological units: the main alpine metamorphic mass, the foot slopes and the coastal area. A custom layout regarding symbology, colouring, and generalization was designed in order to highlight the captured geomorphological content. The results indicate that the DEM derived topographic attributes combined with the geological setting and the river network generate successfully a large number of landforms under certain circumstances.
Studying the Dynamics of Lake Sevan Water Surface Temperature Using Landsat8 Sateliite Imagery

Published: May 2018

Lake Sevan being Armenia’s largest freshwater reservoir has a vital economic, recreational and cultural importance to both the catchment area and the nation as a whole. At present the Sevan which has seen the dramatic - some 20m drop - in water level entailing grave ecological consequences to the whole of its ecosystem, is at the stage of recovery. Hence, it is very important to study basic parameters describing the ecological status of the lake, and their annual and seasonal dynamics. The Sevan water surface temperature (WST) is a key parameter which influences all ecological processes that occur in the Lake. Declining lake level has brought to reduction of water volume and consequently to earlier warming of lake water in spring and its earlier cooling in the fall. Besides, more frequent becomes the complete surface freezing of Lake Sevan. Remotely sensed imagery makes it possible to get immediate information on a regular basis about WST across the entire surface of lakes. The purpose of this particular research was to study the space and time dynamics of Lake Sevan WST using Landsat 8 satellite imagery. The advantage of Landsat8 images is a regular frequency of capturing and availability of another thermal band that helps reduce the atmospheric refraction-induced errors/deviations. This research involved Landsat imagery for 2000-2018. The images underwent preprocessing steps (radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, normalization etc) and then Lake Sevan WSTs and their monthly and annual changes over the mentioned periods were derived using both thermal bands (b10, b11). The research confirmed the fact, that Lake Sevan surface completely or partly freezing with periodicity of 2-3 years, whereas before the water drop the periodicity was 15-20 years. The study of spatial distribution of WST data derived from remote sensing shows that the temperature data corresponds to the overall general picture of temperature for Lake Sevan. This research has indicated that remotely sensed images and Landsat 8 imagery in particular allow derive both WST data on a regular basis and retrospective data (since 2013).
Monitoring Long-Term Air Temperature Regime in Banat (Romania)
Authors: Dunca Andreea-Mihaela
Published: May 2018

Banat, a region situated in the western and south-western extremity of Romania, benefits from a defense network of meteorological stations in which a meteorological long-term monitoring activity of approximately 150 years is being carried out. Geographical position and diversity of physico-geographical conditions, under the influence of atmospheric circulation factors, determine both the major features of the climate in this region, as well as its local nuances. In order to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of air temperature in Banat, we collected data strings and continuous meteorological observations from 14 weather stations in this area over a 35 years period (1979-2013). In Banat the air temperature regime presents a series of particularities and a patchy distribution as a result of the interaction of dynamic processes with the great diversity of these physicogeographical conditions. Analyzing the meteorological data strings one can observe that the air temperature varies in Banat, both spatially, from one meteorological station to another, and temporally from one year to another, from one semester to another, from one season to another but also from one month to the next due to the frequency and intensity of the advection of the different masses of air. The analysis of the air temperature and the thermal regime in Banat region confirms the moderate climate, with quite strong Oceanic influences from the western part of Europe and the weaker sub-Mediterranean influences, from the southwestern part of the continent. However, as a consequence of the global climate changes we are witnessing, at least in the last 50 years, there has also been a trend in Banat to increase the average annual temperature.
Sustainability-oriented cross-functional collaboration to manage trade-offs and interdependencies
Authors: Szalavetz Andrea
Published: May 2018

Despite a consensus view in the literature about the importance of cross-functional collaboration (CFC) for corporate environmental performance improvement, there is a dearth of studies that explain how exactly sustainability-oriented CFC can foster this objective. The purpose of this paper is to explain the role of CFC in corporate environmental performance improvement. We do this by undertaking two rounds of literature review, developing a proposition after the first round and by collecting illuminative real-life examples that illustrate our arguments in the second round. We propose and illustrate that CFC can effectively address two systemic properties of corporate environmental performance: trade-offs and interdependencies among different aspects of corporate environmental sustainability. If left unaddressed, these systemic specifics would result in organizational, managerial, and behavioral outcomes, such as inertia, opposition to change, lack of information, and so on, which would turn into effective barriers to corporate environmental performance improvement. put CFC addresses these barriers through information sharing, knowledge building, and interest reconciliation.
Leader Power, Conflict Handling Styles, and Subordinate Compliance: A Study on Information Technology Professionals in Turkey
Authors: Cenkci Ada T.
Published: May 2018

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of leaders’ power bases and styles of handling conflict on subordinate behavioral and attitudinal compliance. Convenience sampling was used, and 353 information technology (IT) professionals in Turkey participated in the survey. The outcomes revealed that leaders’ cooperative and dominating conflict management styles (CMSs), “expert and referent power”, and legitimate power positively influence subordinates’ behavioral compliance. In addition, “expert and referent power” and legitimate power positively affect attitudinal compliance, while avoiding and dominating CMSs negatively influence it. Overall, the results partially support the influence of leader power bases and styles of handling conflict on subordinate compliance. This study contributes to the literature by investigating the listed variables with a sample of IT professionals employed in various industries in Turkey. Organizations can utilize the study results to increase leadership effectiveness and to deliver better management of IT human capital.
Explicit and Implicit Factors That Determine Private Labels’ Possible Purchase: Eyetracking and EEG Research
Authors: Garczarek-Bąk Urszula
Published: May 2018

Objective: This paper investigates the explicit and implicit factors affecting private-label (PL) products’ possible purchase decision for different retailers. Design: The study uses eyetracking and electroencephalography (EEG) to explore the differences in eye movement and brain activity for PL products. This article examines how approach motivation, measured by total fixation duration and by EEG asymmetry over the frontal hemisphere of the brain, predicts PL purchase decision. Findings: This study investigates implicit variables that can influence consumers’ willingness to PL purchase. The relatively greater left frontal activation (i.e., higher approach motivation) during the predecision period predicted an affirmative purchase decision in some cases. The eyetracking study did not reveal differences between women’s and men’s esthetics sensitivity toward the presented PL products. EEG research proved that consumers were not influenced by the PL product price. Originality/value: Literature lacks credible information on young buyers’ behavior in the context of PL products. This paper elaborates on PL perception, revealing the neural origins of the associated psychological processes.
Violations of the law in Hospital Medical Waste Management
Authors: Furtak-Niczyporuk Marzena
Published: May 2018

The production of clinical waste is an inevitable consequence of rendering health services, including hazardous infectious clinical waste containing live pathogenic microorganisms, which can be the potential source of infections and infectious diseases. For this reason, the management of waste collected during rendering health services most of all requires responsibility for the security of both patients and staff on the part of the managers of healthcare-institutions. The results of hospital inspections in the field of clinical-waste management conducted by the Voivodeship Sanitary Inspection in Lublin, which were made available for the purpose of this paper, have shown numerous irregularities concerning the management of hazardous clinical waste. Most of the irregularities involved the condition of premises and the temporary storage of clinical waste.
Protecting Children’S Health Against Environmental Exposure to Heavy Metals – Theory Versus Practice
Authors: Gut Klaudia , Bołdys-Labocha Małgorzata , Piekut Agata
Published: May 2018

The high level of heavy metals is one of the main indicators of soil contamination, which is a significant risk to ecological and health safety. Lack of regulations requiring the examination of the level of contamination in the areas where recreational facilities for children are located directly translate into the lack of preventive or corrective actions and leads to the persistence of a permanent threat connected with a high level of heavy metals concentration in soils. The aim of the study was to identify significant sources of exposure of children to heavy metals depending on the location of recreational areas (sports fields). The results show a high concentration of cadmium, lead and zinc in the analysed soils. Of all samples, more than 70% of them have values exceeding the limit values of cadmium in soils. In the case of lead and zinc, the normative values were exceeded, respectively, in 44% and 64% of soil samples. Practical solutions introduced in the framework of regulations related to environmental protection do not correlate in practice with an extensive obligation to protect the health of children and adolescents, whose performance is clearly focused on medical problems, disregarding the risk resulting from environmental factors.
Mathematical Modelling as a Tool for the Assessment of Impact of Thermodynamics on the Algal Growth in Dam Reservoirs – Case Study of the Goczalkowice Reservoir
Authors: Ulańczyk Rafał , Kliś Czesław , Absalon Damian , Ruman Marek
Published: May 2018

Depending on climate conditions, bathymetry, basin morphology, management practices and other factors, some reservoirs are more or less prone to stratification, which can strongly affect both chemical and biological status of water. In the Goczalkowice Reservoir (the biggest dam reservoir in the south of Poland), water quality parameters, such as chlorophyll a concentration, change very dynamically. In the presented study, the Estuary, Lake and Coastal Ocean Model (ELCOM) was applied to simulate water thermodynamics in a period of summer and autumn when the highest concentrations of chlorophyll a were observed, based on the continuous water monitoring in the ZiZOZap project (Łaszczyca et al., 2011). The purpose of the application of ELCOM was to simulate the thermal stratification in the reservoir and to prepare a basis for analyses of the relationship between water thermodynamics and quality. Simulations allowed the identification of several short water mixing events in summer and the final mixing event at the end of summer. The study also included the first application of model results to analyse the relation of changes in water temperature with observed concentration of chlorophyll a (ChlA). Analysis confirmed that each water mixing event was followed by a significant increase in ChlA concentration.

Published: May 2018

Provenance experiments traditionally provide information on genetic variation within tree species in adaptation ability and other traits important for commercial forestry. In this study we investigated variation in growth among 20 populations of Nor­way spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) at four common-garden sites of the IUFRO 1972 provenance experimental series at the age close to half of rotation. Because stand density varied among sites, we analyzed stand density-adjusted basal area (BA) and quadratic mean diameter (Dq). The examined prove­nances varied significantly in both analyzed traits. We identi­fied provenances that performed consistently better or worse than average across all four sites. Among the well-growing and possibly adaptive seed sources were those from the uplands of the eastern and central Poland, Sudety Mts, and from the regi­on of Istebna in Beskid Mts. Performance of the other populati­ons from Beskid Mountains was average to poor, and all high-altitude populations were poor-growing. The results of this study help to verify the knowledge of genetic variation pattern among Norway spruce populations in Poland, and to guide management decisions regarding spruce planting material.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON SPECIES COMPOSITION AND DETERIORATION OF CROP PLANTATIONS AND FOREST FLORA BY PORCUPINES IN CONSORT WITH CONTROL TECHNIQUES
Authors: SARWAR MUHAMMAD
Published: May 2018

The goal of this article is to inform community regarding porcupines damage, and deliver guidelines for their harmless, real and liable elimination. The utmost apparent attribute of porcupines is their extensive, piercing and shakable quills, which shelter backs of the physiques that make them hit, as a threatening to probable raiders. In general, porcupines occur the maximum in mountainous and gravelly states, however these may adjust in many territories like extremely wet plantations and somewhat territory comprising of prairies, foothills, deserts and tropical forests. Porcupines can become a pest by eating of carrots and other root vegetables, clovers, roots, fruits as well as foraging on the farm crops. A definite indication of porcupine burrow is a mound of feces at entering site of cave or hollow tree. In this global region, Hystrix indica Kerr is most plentiful and scattered species, and has been familiarized as a severe pest of fruit orchards, vegetables, flowering plants, forage grasses in pastures or rangelands and traditional as well as non-traditional crops. When porcupines inflict optimum damage, then their control actions must be adopted. A pest controlling expert can provide skill to recognize the porcupines problematic and decide the superlative promising way out to decide the pest annoyance. Prior to executing a loss managing method, evaluate the porcupines incidence by means of watching for shattered quills, fecal masses beneath nourishing and sleeping plants, or distinctive injury marks to trees in a region. Manipulate habitat to attract more natural predators to control porcupine populations, place aluminum flashing around mature tree trunks and enclose small trees with wire baskets, and enclosure areas with electric or nonelectric fencing, to stop porcupines from gnawing at their bark. Implement forest management practices to reduce food supply and some wood preservatives applied to trees, and use of poison baits may provide partial damage relief. During late spring and summer activity periods, shooting of pest is most effective option, and use steel leg-hold traps lured by salt-soaked ingredients and placing proximate to alive burrows or else frequently used tracks.

Published: May 2018

Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD; degenerative valvular disease, endocardiosis, chronic valvular disease) is one of the most common acquired cardiac disease of dogs (75-80% from the cardiac diseases), characterized by mitral valve insufficiency. Pathologically, it is characterized by myxomatous degeneration of leaflets which does not have a congenital aspect, and that can progress to prolapse of one or both leaflets toward the left atrium during systole, and severe heart failure. It seems that the diseases is age and breed dependent. In most of the cases, MMVD occurs in dogs older than 5-8 years old and progresses as the dogs get older. The most predispose breed is Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, followed by Poodle (miniature and toy), Bichon, Lhassa Apso, Shih Tzu, Miniature Schnauzer, Cocker Spaniel, Chihuahua, Fox Terrier, Beagle, Pekinese, Dachshund, Yorkshire Terrier and Boston Terrier. This study aims to correlate the clinical and paraclinical examinations with the changes found in the echocardiographic examination.

Generation of Phosphoranyl Radicals via Photoredox Catalysis Enables Voltage–Independent Activation of Strong C–O Bonds
Authors: Stache Erin , Ertel Alyssa B. , Rovis Tomislav , Doyle Abigail G.
Published: May 2018

Alcohols and carboxylic acids are ubiquitous functional groups found in organic molecules that could serve as radical precursors, but C–O bonds remain difficult to activate. We report a synthetic strategy for direct access to both alkyl and acyl radicals from these ubiquitous functional groups via photoredox catalysis. This method exploits the unique reactivity of phosphoranyl radicals, generated from a polar/SET crossover between a phosphine radical cation and an oxygen centered nucleophile. We first show the desired reactivity in the reduction of benzylic alcohols to the corresponding benzyl radicals with terminal H-atom trapping to afford the deoxygenated product. Using the same method, we demonstrate access to synthetically versatile acyl radicals which enables the reduction of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids to the corresponding aldehydes with exceptional chemoselectivity. This protocol also transforms carboxylic acids to heterocycles and cyclic ketones via intramolecular acyl radical cyclizations to forge new C–O, C–N and C–C bonds in a single step.
The Impact of Phenomenon of Diaspora in The Preservation of National Culture on Example of Russian Diaspora in Bolivia
Authors: Serukhina Elena
Published: May 2018

Globalization covers the most diverse spheres of human life, including social, where the processes of migration and globalization of culture take on special significance. Cultures arise and develop, interacting with each other. And the first field of this interaction is the diaspora. Diaspora is the environment where culture is directly developed and enriched. The development of diasporas is carried out by spreading the culture, values and traditions of their people, but at the same time integrating into society with a different culture, which implies the acquisition of new socially and spiritually significant qualities. The psychological reason for the emergence of the diaspora is that people far from their homeland begin to understand, appreciate and even more love their native culture. The development of the modern world is characterized, as we know, by globalization. Can the phenomenon of the diaspora in modern social life be associated with it? No, because the diaspora is directly connected with culture, while globalization is opposed to culture. Globalization is aimed at unification, ignoring the problem of cultural identity. Globalization involves the erasure of cultural features, the loss of cultural, ethnic, religious differences. But at the same time, globalization contributes to the growth of population migration, which leads to an increase in the number of diasporas abroad. The rapid growth of immigrant communities and their institutionalization forced to talk about "the diasporaization of the world" as one of the scenarios for the development of mankind. One way or another, this process deepens and takes more and more new forms, and the role of diasporas and their influence are intensified.

INTRODUÇÃO: A associação da hipertermia à radioterapia tem demonstrado ser uma abordagem válida no tratamento da recidiva locorregional de tumores malignos previamente irradiados. O objetivo do presente estudo é descrever a experiência inicial do Departamento de Radioncologia Júlio Teixeira SA (Instituto CUF) e do Serviço de Oncologia Médica (Hospital CUF Porto) no tratamento destas lesões, reportando os primeiros casos tratados em Portugal com a referida abordagem terapêutica.

MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Foi efetuada uma análise retrospetiva dos 18 doentes, 16 do sexo feminino e 2 do sexo masculino, com recidivas tumorais irressecáveis, em áreas previamente irradiadas, tratados com radioterapia associada à hipertermia, no período de tempo compreendido entre maio de 2016 e março de 2017.

RESULTADOS: De maio de 2016 a março de 2017 foram realizados 25 tratamentos em 18 doentes. Em todos os tratamentos foi constatada resposta favorável no local irradiado. Não foram observadas toxicidades grau 3.

DISCUSSÃO: Os resultados são encorajadores, com melhoria da qualidade de vida e autoestima dos doentes com toxicidade aceitável. O tratamento combinado de hipertermia e radioterapia parece ser uma opção válida no controlo local de neoplasias recorrentes irressecáveis em locais previamente irradiados, cujas opções terapêuticas são limitadas.

O tumor de pulmão não-pequenas células apresenta-se em estádio precoce, claramente cirúrgico, apenas em cerca de 20% dos casos. No entanto, até metade destes doentes vêm a recidivar sistemicamente, com rápida progressão de doença.Nalguns casos, no entanto, o padrão de metastização é limitado a um órgão, com um pequeno número de lesões (1-5) correspondendo ao conceito de recidiva oligometastática ou oligoprogressiva. Com tratamento local agressivo, têm sido documentadas longas sobrevivências nestes doentes, sugerindo uma biologia particular.Apresenta-se o caso de uma doente jovem, com recidiva de adenocarcinoma primário do pulmão oligoprogressiva, mas múltipla, na mama, pele e sistema nervoso central, dois, 12 e 27 meses após cirurgia curativa, tratada localmente com cirurgia e gamma knife, com longa sobrevivência e mantendo-se clinicamente assintomática.

Manggo (Mangifera indica) seed is one of the high yield carbohydrate source and can be functioned both as food and as an alternative food source. Processing of mango seed into flour can not only improve food diversification but also can made it to be classified as high valued commodities. In addition flour made from mango seed are meant to reduce the number of spoiled seed as well as discarded seed, and it can also be used as basic ingreditent for various processed product. This research was aimed both to study and to know the nutritional content two types of mango seed flours. A Completely Randomized Experimental Design (CRD) with types of mango seed as treatment was applied. The levels of the treatment including “Madu” mango seed flour and “Arummanis” mango seed flour. Observed variables were moisture, ash, carbohydrate, protein, colour and aroma. Result showed that flour made from different type of mango seed had difference multitional content. Flour from “Madu” mango seed had the moisture, ash, carbohydrate, and protein content of 15.00, 1.06, 48.11, and 3.48%, respectively. Whereas flour from “Arummanis” seed had the respected values of 12.34, 0.97, 52.74, and 3.40%, consectively. The colour of the flour was found to be white (2.75) and it had the aroma of mango imparted (2.71).

A ferrugem asiática é a principal doença na cultura da soja. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito dos fungicidas à base de estrobilurina + triazol aplicados em diferentes momentos, na detecção e após a detecção da ferrugem asiática na área experimental. A segunda aplicação aproximadamente três semanas após a primeira. Os experimentos foram conduzidos nas safras 2006/07, 2008/09, 2009/10 e 2010/11, em Dourados – MS. Avaliou-se área foliar lesionada, o número de lesões e urédias por folíolo de cada terço da planta foram avaliados. A partir destes dados calculou-se a área abaixo da curva de progresso de lesões e urédias (AACPD). Foram avaliados também produção, massa de mil grãos e desfolha. Todos os ensaios foram conduzidos no delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com cinco repetições, exceto o realizado na safra 2006/07 com seis repetições. Nas quatro safras, aplicações de fungicidas, independente da época resultou em menores quantidades de doença em relação a testemunha, nos terços médio e inferior. Na safra 2008/09 não foi detectado efeito do fungicida sobre a produtividade. Em 2006/2007, 2008/09 e 2009/10, parcelas que receberam fungicida apresentaram menor porcentagem de desfolha. Na safra 2010/11, a aplicação na detecção da doença apresentou incremento na produção. O controle mais eficaz da doença ocorreu quando a primeira aplicação de fungicidas foi realizada mais próxima da detecção do patógeno na área.

Toneladas de resíduos são gerados na indústria de processamento de milho e em geral são destinados somente para alimentação animal, apesar do grande potencial nutricional. O pericarpo do milho, resíduo não comercial, advindo da produção via seca da Farinha de Milho Biju, é um exemplo prático, gerado em grandes quantidades pela indústria processadora de milho e sem destinação específica. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se com este estudo o desenvolvimento de um snack utilizando pericarpo de milho em três formulações, Formulação 1 (F1) utilizou 20% de pericarpo e 80% de grits; Formulação 2 (F2) utilizou 30% de pericarpo e 70% de grits e Formulação 3 (Controle) com 100% do grits de milho. O resíduo do milho e os snacks foram avaliados quanto à sua composição proximal e os snacks foram avaliados quanto à coloração, textura e avaliação sensorial. Observou-se que as amostras de 20% e 30% de substituição apresentaram maior teor de fibra (2,51 ± 0,01; 3,57 ± 0,06 g.100g-1 respectivamente) em relação a amostra controle (0,27± 0,01 g.100g-1), os snacks substituídos tiveram scores de aceitação acima de 6 e coloração entre 79 e 80 ºHue. A substituição parcial de grits por pericarpo de milho em snacks é possível em até 30% e essa substituição aumenta o teor de fibras do snack e suaviza a coloração, o produto tem aceitação com scores acima de 6.

O bioma Cerrado apresenta uma rica variedade de espécies frutíferas detentoras de características sensoriais e nutricionais ainda pouco exploradas cientificamente e comercialmente. Este trabalho tem como objetivo determinar os compostos bioativos de frutos de gabiroba, oriundos do município de Guarda-Mor, MG. 70 frutos maduros e in natura, foram selecionados aleatoriamente para a realização da análise biométrica, da qual apresentou os seguintes resultados expressos em média: diâmetro longitudinal 17,57mm, diâmetro transversal 17,39mm, casca 1,78 g, polpa 0,40 g e semente 2,11 g. Após, o despolpamento dos frutos, casca, polpa e semente foram analisadas com a determinação de pH, acidez, sólidos solúveis, umidade, cinzas, vitamina C, β-carotenos e fenólicos totais. O conteúdo de vitamina C encontrado na casca foi de 120,47 mg/100 g, sendo maior que ao encontrado na polpa que foi de 89,52 mg/100 g. Na determinação dos β-carotenos e fenólicos totais, as análises foram realizadas nos meios aquoso, hidro alcoólico e etílico. Para os β-carotenos, dentre os três meios analisados, a extração em meio aquoso foi a que apresentou uma melhor eficiência na casca 0,29 μg/100 g, polpa 0,92 μg/100 ge semente 0,48 μg/100 g. Já para os fenólicos totais, o extrato hidro alcoólico apresentou maior eficiência na casca 1,22 mg/100 g e polpa 1,32 mg/100 g, e o extrato aquoso apresentou maior eficiência na semente 1,31 mg/100 g. A gabiroba apresentou resultados expressivos para os compostos bioativos. Seu potencial de exploração comercial é grande.

The research deals with moral values. Moral values are the standards of good and evil, which govern an individual’s behavior and choices. Individual’s morals may derive from society and government, religion, or self. When moral values derive from society and government they, of necessity, may change as the laws and morals of the society change. (Harris, 2012). There are two points of moral values analyzed in the novel. The first is hard work and the second is self-confidence and both are depicted through the words and actions of the major characters. Hard work is the key to success. Hard work always pays off. Hard work can turn sludge into gold. Hard work starts from where people stop looking for alternatives. (Tollander, 2011); the second is self-confidence, a belief in one’s own ability when doing anything, by viewing things positively and realistically (Albert, 2010). The research is conducted by descriptive qualitative method proposed by Creswell (2010). The results show that there are two points of moral values in the novel. The first is hard work and the second is self-confidence and both of the points are described by the major characters.

Objective: The objective of this study was to report the postoperative clinical outcomes of patients undergoing the all-arthroscopic AMIC® technique (AT-AMIC®) combined with autologous bone graft placement as necessary. Methods: This was a case series of 17 consecutive patients who underwent AT-AMIC® between January 2016 and April 2017. Nine men and eight women between 15 and 67 years of age were diagnosed with an osteochondral talar lesion (OTL) and underwent surgery only after failure ofconservative treatment of at least 3 months. Patients answered the AOFAS scale before surgery and at the final follow-up session, which ranged from 8 to 20 months. Results: The mean size of the OTLs was 1.16cm2, and “Raikin-4” was the most common site of lesions (71%). Calcaneal osteotomy was the mostcommonly associated procedure (18%). The mean follow-up period was 12.3 months. The mean AOFAS score before surgery was 46.4 points, rising to 89.5 points at the last follow-up, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). No complications were observed in any of the treated patients. Conclusion: AT-AMIC® is a reliable and reproducible treatment method for OTLs and achieves high postoperative clinical scores with very low complication rates.
