A nova classe média em I Love Paraisópolis: efeitos de sentido do social
Authors: Mendes Conrado Moreira
Published: December 2017

Resumo Neste artigo, procura-se compreender como se dá a construção discursiva da nova classe média (também chamada de nova classe C) na telenovela I Love Paraisópolis, à luz da semiótica de linha francesa. Para isso, toma-se como corpus o primeiro capítulo dessa produção, exibida pela Rede Globo em 2015. Nela, a personagem principal, Marizete, é moradora da favela de Paraisópolis em São Paulo. Nota-se que, nesse caso, a nova classe C não apenas faz parte, mas protagoniza a trama central. Assim, entende-se que a nova classe média tem seu locus privilegiado na favela/comunidade que intitula a telenovela em questão, da qual se analisam algumas cenas, tendo em vista os níveis narrativo e discursivo do percurso gerativo do sentido, de Greimas. Finalmente, levando em conta o modelo de Landowski (2002), que diz respeito aos modos de relação com a alteridade, procura-se demonstrar como se estabelecem as relações entre cidade e favela, considerando-se também alguns elementos da visualidade. Esse percurso permite compreender, assim, algumas tessituras do social em I Love Paraisópolis, entendendo-se, evidentemente, esse social como um efeito de sentido.
Multicódigos Reabituantes
Authors: Araújo Eduardo Fernandes
Published: December 2017

Resumo Como processos comunicativos alcançam maior efetividade comunicacional? Ambientes multicódigos promovem vínculos linguagem/tecnologia e vínculos linguagem/tecnologia promovem transformações cognitivas. Logo, ambientes multicódigos promovem transformações cognitivas (pensamento mutante). Inspirada nesse raciocínio, a pesquisa sobre ambientes multicódigos mostra que a efetividade comunicacional nasce da tomada de consciência estimulada por mudanças de hábitos, mediante práticas que se utilizam das redes digitais multicódigos. O livro aborda como objeto empírico grupos de ciberativistas, usuários de videojogos e epistemólogos da comunicação. Os resultados apontam para outra hipótese acerca do novo objeto epistemológico da comunicologia: o processo de produção de referências aderentes à dinâmica do real, conduzindo os agentes nela imersos a reabituações do entendimento em seu sentir/agir/pensar. O objetivo é destacar as contribuições da semiótica pragmaticista de Charles S. Peirce como saída para a crise epistemológica da comunicação, sugerindo preciosas abduções e analogias com os atuais desenvolvimentos da biossemiótica.
I feel my wrist buzz. Smartbody and performative sensibility in Fitbit devices
Authors: Lemos André Luiz Martins , Bitencourt Elias
Published: December 2017

Abstract This paper discusses the concepts of performative sensibility and smartbody. The central thesis is that performative sensibility highlights the instrumental nature of sensations in which objects act on the world. We show how the prescriptions of this new sensibility associated with wearables affect the body and subjectivity that we propose to call a smartbody. There were one hundred testimonials analyzed from the oldest thread with the greatest number of comments in the Fitbit user community forum. Quantitative tools and actor-network theory were used as a guide to assemble and analyze the corpus. The preliminary findings show that Fitbit users demonstrate particular changings in body care. Extreme behaviors, physical limits defined by system goals and quantification habits without utilizing the device are some of the examples found. These findings appear to indicate that the performative sensibility of wearables mobilizes new body performatic patterns and practices oriented by data.

Authors: Santos Raquel Godinho Hokama dos , Celeri Eloisa Helena Rubelo Valler
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Objetivo: Estudar a aplicabilidade do Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades - Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ 2,4-p) - como instrumento de rastreamento, na Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS), de problemas de saúde mental em crianças pré-escolares; caracterizar os problemas de saúde mental da amostra, comparando dados do SDQ (2,4-p) e do Inventário de Comportamentos da Criança - Child Behavior Check List (CBCL 1½-5 anos). Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal com amostra de conveniência composta por crianças de 31 a 50 meses, cujos responsáveis forneceram relato das informações. Na primeira etapa, profissionais da unidade básica de saúde (UBS) aplicaram o SDQ (2,4-p) durante consultas de rotina. Na sequência, o CBCL (1½-5) foi aplicado aos responsáveis por profissional experiente especializado em saúde mental infantil. Resultados do SDQ e do CBCL foram comparados; correlação entre as escalas foi analisada. Resultados: Dos 280 questionários disponibilizados aos profissionais da UBS, 48 foram preenchidos e houve aplicação do CBCL em 40 dos participantes. Entre os problemas rastreados com o SDQ, 18 casos (37,6% de 48) apresentam escore anormal no “Total de Dificuldades” e 38 (80,9% de 48), escore normal no “Impacto da Dificuldade”. Problemas de conduta se destacaram pela porcentagem de escores anormais (47,9%). A correlação entre SDQ e CBCL foi positiva em todas as escalas, exceto no comportamento pró-social. Conclusões: Problemas de saúde mental clinicamente importantes foram encontrados em crianças pré-escolares. Variáveis do SDQ discriminam escores normais e anormais, conforme parâmetros do CBCL, funcionando como um bom instrumento de triagem.

Published: December 2017

Abstract Objective: To analyze the apprehensions of nurse managers in the implementation of the Evidence Based Practice in a Teaching Hospital of Triângulo Mineiro. Method: Qualitative research guided by the Theory of the Diffusion of Innovations. Five workshops were conducted per focal group (n = 18 participants), conducted by hermeneutic-dialectic interactions between August and September/2016. Textual records resulting from each workshop were analyzed by semantic categories. Results: Aspects conditioning to the implementation of the Evidence Based Practice permeate from elements related to the fragmentation of the care network to the necessary expansion of the governability of the nurse managers to put changes into practice in their sectors. Most importantly, timely access to the results of research conducted at the teaching hospital was mentioned as crucial to guide better practices. Final considerations: The approach allowed the recognition of contextual conditions for the implementation of the Evidence-Based Practice, which may coincide with similar scenarios, as well as increase the national scientific production on the subject, which is still scarce.

Published: December 2017

Abstract Objective: To compare the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) between the Assistance Sites in an Intensive Care Unit. Method: Descriptive, retrospective study, carried out in the Intensive Care Unit of a teaching hospital. The patients were organized in Assistance Sites according to their clinical characteristics and the nursing team's composition was organized in accordance with the Nursing Activities Score (NAS). The confidence interval was set at p < 0.05. Results: the majority were male surgical patients with a mean age of 56.8 years. The postoperative care Site presented the greatest patient turnover. The overall average NAS was 71.7%. There was a difference in the nursing workload between the different Assistance Sites. The shorter length of stay and the nonsurvivors contributed to increasing the workload in the ICU. Conclusion: Comparing the NAS in the different Sites made it possible to organize the work process of the nursing team according to each group, contributing to patient safety.

Published: December 2017

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to understand how social networking websites are used by adolescents and their importance during the hospitalization process. Method: A descriptive and qualitative study was supported by the virtual ethnographic method and resorted to the symbolic interactionism as theoretical framework. Eleven hospitalized adolescents were interviewed. Results: Three categories were identified based on the analysis of interviews and posts: Being able to use social networking websites during hospitalization; Using the Facebook® chat to keep connected to friends; Seeking support from friends through social networking websites. Final considerations: Facebook® was the social networking website that adolescents used the most, standing out as an important form of entertainment during hospitalization that facilitates communication and social support. Healthcare professionals should value the use of social networking websites by hospitalized adolescents and encourage access to these tools, providing hospital resources to expand and facilitate this access.

ABSTRACT: Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are causative agents of abortion in sheep and goats. Thus, the present study aimed to describe the transplacental transmission of these protozoans in small ruminants of northeastern Brazil. Seventeen fetuses (6 goats and 11 sheep) from farms with history of abortion were necropsied and samples were collected from different tissues (brain, liver, lung, kidney and heart). The samples were analyzed by PCR, histopathology (HP) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to evaluate whether T. gondii and/or N. caninum infection were the cause of abortion. None of the samples was positive for T. gondii according to PCR and IHC results. Some brain, liver, lung, kidney and heart samples of goat fetuses were positive for N. caninum by PCR. In the histopathology, mild mononuclear infiltration and necrosis with calcification were observed in the liver and brain of one goat fetus, respectively, that also was positive for N. caninum by PCR and IHC. The results confirmed vertical transmission of N. caninum in naturally infected goats of northeastern, Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is responsible for granulocytic anaplasmosis in humans and various animal species. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of A. phagocytophilum-infected dogs in a residential area of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. A total of 62 dogs were submitted to serological (indirect fluorescent-antibody -IFI) and molecular (PCR) tests. Anti-A. phagocytophilum antibodies were detected in 43.8% of the dogs. Seven dogs (10.9%) were PCR-positive for the msp4 gene, six and four of these were positive for the for the msp2/p44 gene of A. phagocytophilum and 16S rRNA region of granulocytic Anaplasmataceae respectively. This study confirms a relatively high frequency of A. phagocytophilum infection in a population of domiciled dogs in an urbanized area in south-eastern Brazil and highlights the need for further studies on the role of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato ticks in the transmission of this bacterium to dogs in urban Brazilian areas.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of thyroid hormone on the decidua and metrial gland of rats and to examine the expression of angiogenic factors. 72 adult, female rats were divided into hypothyroid, T4-treated2, and control groups. At 10, 14 and 19 days of gestation (DG), the decidua and metrial gland were collected for histomorphometric and immunohistochemical evaluation of the expression of VEGF, Flk-1 and Tie-2. Hypothyroidism reduced the area of the decidua at 10 and 19 DG. Furthermore, VEGF was increased at 10 and 14 DG, and Flk-1 only at 14 DG, but both was reduced at 19 DG in the metrial gland without significantly changing the area occupied by blood vessels. Rats treated with T4 showed an increase in the decidua blood vessels at 10 and 19 DG. However, at 10 DG, excess T4 resulted in increased of Flk-1 in the decidua and metrial gland. Hypothyroidism increased the Tie-2 at 10 and 19 DG in the decidua and metrial gland. In conclusion, hypothyroidism reduces the area of the decidua and increases the expression of VEGF, Tie-2 and Flk-1. The excess of T4 promotes tissue angiogenesis by increasing the number of vessels in the decidua because of the increased expression of Flk-1.
Morfologia de órgãos genitais femininos de quelônio semi-aquático Mesoclemmys vanderhaegei
Authors: Silva Walkiria F. , Lima Raissa L. , Pinheiro Juliana N. , Brito Elizângela S. , Ferraz Rosa H.S.
Published: December 2017

RESUMO: O Mesoclemmys vanderhaegei (Testudines: Chelidae) é um quelônio de água doce cuja ocorrência é descrita nas bacias dos rios Amazonas, Tocantins, Paraguai, Paraná e Uruguai. Consta na lista vermelha de espécies ameaçadas da International Union for Conservation of Nature, como espécie de baixo risco, mas que poderá se tornar ameaçada, sendo necessário a atualização de seus dados ecológicos e biológicos. Considerando que planos de manejo e conservação de espécies dependem também de vasto conhecimento sobre a biologia reprodutiva, apresentamos a primeira descrição macroscópica dos órgãos genitais de fêmeas jovens e adultas de M. vanderhaegei correlacionando esses achados ao tamanho do espécime e ao período do ano. Exemplares de M. vanderhaegei foram coletados no município de Chapada dos Guimarães, área de ampla ocorrência natural da espécie. A descrição dos órgãos genitais foi realizada a partir de 17 fêmeas fixadas em formol a 10% e dissecadas para evidenciação de particularidades relacionadas à anatomia externa e interna. Os órgãos genitais M. vanderhaegei jovens e adultas são constituídos por pares de ovários e ovidutos que desembocam dorsolateralmente na cloaca, formando junto com o ureter a papila urogenital. Os ovários são órgãos alongados, com a extremidade cranial mais larga e caudal afunilada, já os ovidutos são longos e localizados lateralmente aos ovários, sendo em adultas, muito diferenciado na sua forma e tamanho em relação ao das jovens. Em ambas faixas etárias, os órgãos genitais são sustentados por pregas de membrana celomática que emergem do teto da cavidade, constituindo os mesovário e mesoviduto. De acordo com a forma e o padrão de mucosa do oviduto em fêmeas adultas, o segmento cranial corresponde as regiões do infundíbulo e magnum, o segmento médio, ao istmo e no caudal identificam-se as regiões útero e vagina. No assoalho do urodeum aloja-se o clitóris. O comprimento retilíneo de carapaça e massa corpórea entre fêmeas imaturas e adultas variam, respectivamente, entre 134-155,6mm e 134,43-365g. A maioria das fêmeas jovens foram capturadas no período chuvoso e as adultas sem e com ovos no período seco. As características macroscópicas dos órgãos genitais observadas em M. vanderhaegei são compartilhadas com outros Testudines, exceto pela papila urogenital e presença do clitóris.
Psicanálise e neurociências: contornos difusos? Notas em torno da noção de plasticidade cerebral
Authors: Mantilla Maria Jimena
Published: December 2017

Resumo “Psicanálise versus psiquiatria”, “inconsciente versus cérebro”, oposições clássicas entre diferentes perspectivas sobre o ser humano e o sofrimento mental. O artigo recupera alguns elementos dessa discussão e reflete sobre as formas como novas ideias sobre o cérebro e a biologia favorecem uma aproximação entre a psicanálise e as neurociências. Essas questões são redefinidas a partir da noção de “plasticidade cerebral”, que coloca o cérebro em um espaço aberto à interação com o ambiente social e à influência terapêutica do dispositivo psicanalítico. Conceber o cérebro como um órgão plástico permite pensar uma interseção entre a psicanálise e as neurociências.
Do psíquico ao somático: notas sobre a reconfiguração do self contemporâneo
Authors: Russo Jane
Published: December 2017

Resumo O artigo examina a passagem de uma compreensão psicológica da pessoa para uma compreensão somática/cerebral. A discussão centra-se na dualidade que marca a cultura ocidental moderna, entre a visão iluminista e racionalista do mundo e a visão chamada de romântica. Busca demonstrar como o fisicalismo sustenta-se em uma reconfiguração da “tensão inarredável”, referida por L.F. Duarte, entre essas duas visões. Parte de exemplos nos quais intervenções biotecnológicas se articulam a forte investimento afetivo e emocional de experiências corporais, propõe a noção de um “vitalismo” contemporâneo, no qual a categoria “vida” é entendida como algo que, embora ancorado na materialidade biológica, a ultrapassa, articulando-se a categorias fluidas como “felicidade” e “bem-estar” ou a sentimentos e emoções pouco passíveis de definição objetiva.

RESUMO Esta pesquisa investigou a música nas escolas públicas municipais do Rio Grande do Sul. Teve como desenho metodológico a abordagem quantitativa, o método survey interseccional de grande porte e a aplicação de questionários autoadministrados como técnica de coleta de dados. A análise de conteúdo constituiu a técnica para a análise dos dados, valendo-se de conceitos da educação musical balizados pela legislação educacional e pela abordagem do ciclo de políticas. Como resultados, constatou-se que, apesar da legislação vigente e da existência de algumas atividades musicais nas escolas, ainda persiste a luta para a efetiva implementação da educação musical no estado.
Students’ achievement and opinions on the implementation of e-learning for phonetics and phonology lectures at Airlangga University
Authors: Kwary Deny A. , Fauzie Sarah
Published: December 2017

Abstract The demand of e-learning at higher education has increased significantly in the past several years. In Indonesia, the implementation of e-learning has been encouraged by the government since 2011. However, universities are still looking for the most appropriate e-learning system, and unsure of the effectiveness of e-learning program. This paper discusses the implementation of e-learning system at Airlangga University, one of the top five state-owned universities in Indonesia. The e-learning system implemented in this university follows the Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education, i.e. encourage contacts between student and faculty; develop reciprocity and cooperation among students; use active learning techniques; give prompt feedback; emphasize time on task; communicate high expectations; and respect diverse talents and ways of learning. The e-learning platform at this university is called AULA (Airlangga University e-Learning Application). The respondents of this study were the students who took the General Linguistics course, particularly for the lectures on Phonetics and Phonology. Based on the t-test calculation of the exam scores, we conclude that there is no significant difference between the results of the e-learning and those of the classroom learning. The results of questionnaires show that 85% of the students are satisfied with the implementation of e-learning as they think that the e-learning makes it easier for them to understand the materials, it is fun, and is convenient to access. For further implementation, the students suggested the additions of podcasts and games, more time for the quizzes, and improvement of the e-learning platform.
Monoculturalidad en las prácticas pedagógicas en la formación inicial docente en La Araucanía, Chile
Authors: Arias-Ortega Katerin , Quintriqueo M. Segundo , Valdebenito Z. Vanessa
Published: December 2017

Resumen El tema central del artículo se relaciona con las prácticas pedagógicas monoculturales en la formación inicial docente y el sistema educativo escolar. El problema que se aborda es la descontextualización curricular en la formación inicial docente. El objetivo es analizar la monoculturalidad de prácticas arraigadas a métodos y contenidos eurocéntricos occidentales, producto del legado colonial y poscolonial en Chile. La metodología consistió en una revisión de la literatura normativa y científica a nivel nacional e internacional, para lograr una comprensión y explicación del problema de la monoculturalidad en las prácticas pedagógicas. Los principales resultados aportan un estado del arte sobre el desarrollo histórico de la educación en contexto indígena e intercultural, donde se evidencia el desarrollo de prácticas pedagógicas monoculturales de manera transversal en los niveles del sistema educativo chileno. El ensayo propone algunas pistas de acción para transformar la formación inicial de profesores, a través del enfoque educativo intercultural y competencias comunicativas interculturales, con el fin de superar la monoculturalidad, el racismo hacia las personas indígenas, tanto en el medio escolar como social. Se concluye que: 1) la monoculturalidad persiste como una práctica en la formación inicial docente, lo que trae como consecuencia el desconocimiento del contexto social y cultural de los estudiantes, tanto en los formadores de profesores como en los futuros profesores; y 2) la educación escolar continúa con la transmisión de prejuicios y la construcción de actitudes racistas, perpetuando el racismo institucionalizado en contextos indígenas e interculturales.
The Wilhelmy method: a critical and practical review
Authors: Volpe Claudio Della , Siboni Stefano
Published: December 2017

A brief history of the Wilhelmy technique for surface tension and contact angle measurements introduces the equation and the methods necessary to apply this modern and automatic procedure correctly. Many simple practices may avoid systematic errors and allow reliable results to be obtained for both quantities. The paper analyzes not only simple runs – that is, applications to standard shapes such as cylinders and parallelepipeds, rigid, non-porous samples immersed in probe liquids of low viscosity – but also non-simple runs – that is, applications to non-standard samples such as disk-shaped samples, porous and flexible samples, planar samples with different contact angles on their two opposite faces, and to the case of more viscous fluids. Many experimental details such as the size ratio of specimens to the liquid container may be extremely important; their role and the history of discussion about these topics are reviewed and discussed herein. Also, the possible determination of contact angles other than the usual advancing and receding ones is addressed.

The optimal BP target for patients receiving hemodialysis is unknown. We randomized 126 hypertensive patients on hemodialysis to a standardized predialysis systolic BP of 110–140 mmHg (intensive arm) or 155–165 mmHg (standard arm). The primary objectives were to assess feasibility and safety and inform the design of a full-scale trial. A secondary objective was to assess changes in left ventricular mass. Median follow-up was 365 days. In the standard arm, the 2-week moving average systolic BP did not change significantly during the intervention period, but in the intensive arm, systolic BP decreased from 160 mmHg at baseline to 143 mmHg at 4.5 months. From months 4–12, the mean separation in systolic BP between arms was 12.9 mmHg. Four deaths occurred in the intensive arm and one death occurred in the standard arm. The incidence rate ratios for the intensive compared with the standard arm (95% confidence intervals) were 1.18 (0.40 to 3.33), 1.61 (0.87 to 2.97), and 3.09 (0.96 to 8.78) for major adverse cardiovascular events, hospitalizations, and vascular access thrombosis, respectively. The intensive and standard arms had similar median changes (95% confidence intervals) in left ventricular mass of −0.84 (−17.1 to 10.0) g and 1.4 (−11.6 to 10.4) g, respectively. Although we identified a possible safety signal, the small size and short duration of the trial prevent definitive conclusions. Considering the high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events in patients receiving hemodialysis, a full-scale trial is needed to assess potential benefits of intensive hypertension control in this population.

Published: December 2017

This is a comparative study of three countries, “Hungary, Nigeria and Iraq”. These countries belong to three different continents, Hungary-Central Europe, Nigeria-Africa, Iraq-the Middle East. Sustainable Development means different concerns to each of these countries. The paradigm of SD includes Economic, Social and Environmental responsibilities. Economic growth is the primary policy objective for most countries where environment and social paradox of the equation is relatively low. In this study, the researchers analyse the three country’s situation in relation to Global Sustainable Development Goals. The approach of each country in realising these goals will be highlighted and a comparative link designed to find out differences and similarities in their approaches. Overall objectives of the Sustainable Development is to focus on the three dimensions equally, “economics, social and Environmental (Figure 1). Unfortunately many developing countries are incapable or lack the political will to tackle all three at the same time. The second part of this study will focus on the role of the three governments in meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and the challenges to growth and sustainability will be highlighted. The overall objective of this comparative study is to find out the role of governments and their efforts at reaching sustainable development goals.
Assembling the (Non)Human: The Animal as Medium
Authors: Berland Jody
Published: December 2017

Abstract | This article revisits McLuhan’s well-known phrase “the message is the medium,” and it asks: What if the medium is an animal?  McLuhan’s understanding of his own phrase was profoundly anthropocentric, as critics have noted. But his legacy in mediation theory combined with the insights of interdisciplinary animal studies make it possible to expand the possibilities of the phrase.  Media history also challenges the anthropocentric concept of the medium or the mediation process.  While the use of animal as medium predates the electric media with which McLuhan was concerned,  early computer devices and later mobile technologies have pursued users’ engagement through didactically visible identification with/as animal spirits.  Animals have become “naturalized” along with the indispensability of these devices as essential mediators of connectivity.  In contemporary media arts, we see animals mediate and metaphorically stand for the vitality of mediated connectivity.  Recognizing animal figures as mediators of mediation shifts the balance, the affect, and the price of what McLuhan called our “shared media situation.” They are both luring enchantments into digital connectivity and anxious premediations of rising challenges to anthropocentric humanism and its destructive blind spots which continue to shape the world.Résumé | Cet article revisite la phrase bien connue de McLuhan « le message est le médium », et il demande : et si le médium est un animal? La compréhension de McLuhan de sa propre phrase était profondément anthropocentrique, comme les critiques l’ont noté. Cependant, son héritage dans le domaine de la théorie de la médiation, combiné avec les connaissances des études interdisciplinaires sur les animaux, permet d’élargir les possibilités de la phrase. L’histoire des médias remet également en cause le concept anthropocentrique du médium ou du processus de médiation. Bien que l’utilisation de l’animal comme médium soit antérieure aux médias électriques dont parlait McLuhan, les premiers dispositifs informatiques et les technologies mobiles subséquentes ont poursuivi l’engagement des utilisateurs grâce à une identification didactiquement visible avec/comme des esprits des animaux. Les animaux sont devenus « naturalisés », parallèlement au caractère indispensable de ces dispositifs comme médiateurs essentiels de la connectivité. Dans les arts médiatiques contemporains, nous voyons les animaux faire de la médiation et métaphoriquement représenter la vitalité de la connectivité médiée. Reconnaître les figures animales comme médiateurs de la médiation modifie l’équilibre, l’effet, et le prix de ce que McLuhan appelle notre « situation médiatique partagée ». Ils entraînent à la fois un ensorcellement vers la connectivité numérique et des préméditations anxieuses des défis croissants de l’humanisme anthropocentrique et de ses angles morts destructeurs qui continuent à façonner le monde.

На основе энергетического подхода анализируется динамика конусов аккумуляции горно-ледникового бассейна р. Актру (Горный Алтай), расположенных на склонах разных экспозиций, и взаимосвязь движения осыпного материала с мощностью деятельного слоя. По полученным данным, скорости движения материала, слагающего конус аккумуляции, зависят от накопленной энергии, поступающей в геоморфосистему из окружающей среды, и её трансформации в процессе денудации. Кроме этого данный подход позволяет рассчитать темпы денудации в различных природных комплексах, которые обеспечиваются одним или группой процессов, а также определить энергетическую устойчивость рельефа и его реакцию на современные климатические изменения.

На основе статистической оценки среднемесячных сумм осадков за 1936-2006 гг. определены тенденции их изменчивости в холодный и теплый периоды, а так же в целом за год в ландшафтных провинциях Обь-Иртышского междуречья. Использованы данные 16 метеорологических станций за 1936-2006 гг., выбранные согласно схеме ландшафтно-климатического районирования А.П. Сляднева. Составлены каталоги аномально влажных (∑ О ≥ 120%) и сухих (∑ О ≤ 80%) периодов. Проанализирована изменчивость атмосферных осадков за различные периоды: 1936-2006, 1936-1980, 1961-1990, 1981-2006 и 1991-2006 гг. В целом за рассматриваемый период 1936-2006 гг., по сравнению с базовым периодом (1961-1990 гг.) в теплый период установлено уменьшение осадков лишь на севере региона (-18 мм), в холодный период в последние 25 лет (по сравнению с 1936-1980 гг.) отмечается незначительное увеличение в северных провинциях. Определен вклад увлажнения того или иного месяца в формирование влажных и сухих периодов по ландшафтным провинциям. На основе корреляционного анализа определена роль синоптических процессов Г.Я. Вангенгейма - А.А. Гирса в формировании аномальных периодов увлажнения.

В статье сравниваются две методики экспериментального изучения разложения торфа в трех болотных экосистемах Бакчарского болотного массива (Западная Сибирь). Образцы торфа закладывались в синтетические мешочки в высушенном и влажном состоянии и помещались в торфяную залежь на глубину 5-10 и 25-30 см. Потери массы из сухих образцов в 5 случаях из 6 были больше, чем из влажных. Достоверность разницы в полученных результатах была выявлена во всех случаях в первые три месяца проведения эксперимента, а через год разница в большинстве случаев стала не достоверна. Динамика изменения массы торфа была сходна для образцов, заложенных в сухом и влажном состоянии, особенно в ряме и в верхнем слое топи, где коэффициент корреляции составил 0,97-0,99. Дисперсионный анализ показал существенное влияние места закладки на потери массы торфа, но не использованной методики.

На основе экспериментальных данных сделан расчет бюджета питательных элементов в болотных экосистемах средней тайги Западной Сибири. Приводятся новые данные о запасах углерода и питательных элементов в живой и мертвой фитомассе, продукции и изменение запасов элементов при разложении и в процессе ресинтеза. Запасы элементов определяются величиной фитомассы и увеличиваются в ряду экосистем: олиготрофные мочажины→ гряды → мезотрофные топи → рямы. Запасы элементов в болотных экосистемах увеличиваются в 2 - 4 раза при переходе из фитомассы в мортмассу. Потребление химических элементов увеличивается с увеличением чистой первичной продукции. Отмечена зависимость потери элементов при разложении от величины продукции, с увеличением продукции потери увеличиваются, при этом концентрации элементов уменьшаются. В процессе ресинтеза 5 - 22% N, 6 - 15% P и 25 - 36% K от потребления возвращается в экосистему. Все отмеченные особенности зависят от типа экосистемы, видового состава сообщества и химического состава растений.

The new GIS technologies and availability of satellite images of high resolution all over the world could be a promising source of thematic information about the distribution of the Western Siberian bogs. At the same time for the accurate interpretation of peatland diversity on the base of satellite images detailed quality ground truth information is necessary. Following peatland unit types have been distinguished and described within the study area “Kukushkino Bog” situated 60 km to the east from Khanty-Mansiysk within the huge oligotrophic lake-bog system: 1 - pine-dwarf shrubs-sphagnum bogs (‘ryam’), 2 - pine-dwarf shrubs-sphagnum bog with small cotton-grass sphagnum hollows, 3 - dwarf shrubs-cotton grass-sphagnum bogs (‘open bog’), 4 - ombrotrophic ridge-hollow complex, 5 - ombrotrophic sphagnum lawns complex & water tracks, 6 - poor sedge (Carex rostrata)-sphagnum fens. Detailed study of peatland diversity and development of landscape-ecological classification of mire types for the territory of Western Siberia could be a good scientific base for the future investigation of peatlands and estimated of their values of carbon pool.

Приведены данные по оценке и математическому моделированию динамики экологической структуры сообществ зоопланктона поймы Средней Оби. Показано, что сообщества зоопланктона сложены умеренно разнообразным видовым комплексом. Динамика количественного развития характеризовалась пиками обилия в максимальные уровни затопления поймы. Выяснено, что увеличение водонаполненности поймы приводит к подавлению трофической активности и ухудшению сапробных условий планктонных сообществ, а также нарастанию биоценотического стресса. Реализована численная модель, качественно и количественно адекватно описывающая комплекс параметров функциональной организации пойменных зоопланктоценозов.

Authors: Sabrekov Aleksandr Fedorovich , Sabrekov A F
Published: December 2017

Приведены данные об измерениях суточной динамики концентрации метана и коэффициента турбулентной диффузии в приземном слое атмосферы над олиготрофным болотным массивом. Подробно описана весьма простая в техническом отношении методика получения этих данных. Обсуждается вопрос влияния плотности потока метана и коэффициента диффузии в атмосфере на суточную динамику концентрации. Делается вывод о том, что суточная динамика концентрации метана в приземном слое атмосферы, главным образом, определяется процессами циркуляции в приземном слое. Построено регрессионное соотношение, связывающее концентрацию метана в приземном слое с коэффициентом турбулентной диффузии.

В работе дана количественная характеристика биологической продуктивности наиболее заболоченного региона Западной Сибири - Сургутского полесья. По запасам общей фитомассы болотные олиготрофные экосистемы достоверно различались в зависимости от занимаемого в микрорельефе положения: на микроповышениях (грядах и рямах) запас фитомассы составил 2500-3500 г/м2, в микропонижениях (мочажинах) - 1010-1250 г/м2. Тем не менее, чистая первичная продукция повышенных и пониженных элементов рельефа болотных экосистем Сургутского полесья оценивается в пределах 530-630 г/м2 в год и значимо не различается. Впервые изучен вклад древесного яруса болотных экосистем повышенного микрорельефа, который составил 30-40% от запаса всей живой фитомассы и 11-16% - от чистой первичной продукции.
