A Dimensão Ética e Política da Pesquisa em Psicologia Escolar
Authors: Cavalcante Lorena De Almeida , Marinho-Araujo Claisy Maria
Published: April 2019

Nas últimas três décadas, a Psicologia Escolar brasileira vem passando por ressignificações no que se refere ao seu papel ético e político. Em contraposição a um passado em que a área apresentou defesas teóricas e práticas que contribuíram para a manutenção do poder opressor e das desigualdades sociais, caminhou-se rumo ao reconhecimento da pertinência de se comprometer com a transformação social. O presente artigo teórico objetiva apresentar reflexões acerca de como a produção científica em Psicologia Escolar pode e deve assumir compromissos com a mudança de condições sociais, históricas e culturais, de modo a conduzir processos emancipatórios do homem. Verificou-se que a pesquisa em Psicologia Escolar tem se caracterizado pelo compromisso não apenas com a construção de conhecimentos a respeito de determinados fenômenos, mas destacadamente com a proposição de possibilidades interventivas que potencializem, quando necessário, mudança das questões investigadas. Como considerações finais, aponta-se para a imprescindibilidade da pesquisa em Psicologia Escolar configurar-se como ato político, filiada a pressupostos teóricos, metodologias e estratégias interventivas que ofereçam ferramentas sociais concretas para alavancar mudança das realidades sociais injustas, opressoras, alienantes, bem como mediar fortalecimento e empoderamento dos profissionais que atuam, especialmente, em contextos educativos.
Autolesão não Suicida na Adolescência e a Atuação do Psicólogo Escolar: Uma Revisão Narrativa
Authors: Sant'Ana Izabella Mendes
Published: April 2019

A autolesão não suicida na adolescência tem recebido atenção de pesquisadores em virtude do aumento de casos relatados nas escolas e mídias sociais, porém, o tema ainda é pouco focalizado na produção científica em Psicologia Escolar. Este artigo configura-se como uma revisão narrativa que visa abordar as possibilidades da atuação do psicólogo escolar frente à temática, buscando também contribuir para o conhecimento nessa área a partir da perspectiva crítica. Inicialmente, abordamos alguns aspectos acerca da autolesão não suicida na adolescência presentes na literatura e sua relação com o campo da Psicologia Escolar. Em seguida, apresentamos uma breve contextualização da referida área e a perspectiva crítica de atuação do psicólogo escolar. Os estudos apontam várias possibilidades de ação do psicólogo relativas ao comportamento autolesivo não suicida no contexto educativo, abrangendo ações dirigidas a alunos, famílias e educadores. Discute-se que a autolesão em adolescentes precisa ser compreendida como sendo configurada a partir dos condicionantes histórico-sociais que permeiam a experiência do que é ser adolescente na sociedade atual e torna-se importante que o psicólogo escolar atue considerando as conjunturas presentes na atualidade e que sua ação se volte para finalidades transformadoras.
Irrational Beliefs, Cognitive Distortions, and Depressive Symptomatology in a College-Age Sample: A Mediational Analysis
Authors: Tecuta Lucia , Tomba Elena , Lupetti Ambra , DiGiuseppe Raymond
Published: April 2019

Dysfunctional cognitions such as irrational beliefs (IBs) of Ellis' rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) model and cognitive distortions (CDs) or cognitive errors from Beck's cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) model are known to correlate with depressive symptomatology. However, most studies focus on one cognitive theoretical model in predicting psychopathology. The current study examined the relationship between both IBs and CDs in predicting depression. A college-age sample of 507 participants completed the Attitudes and Beliefs Scale-2, the Cognitive Distortions Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Half of the sample showed minimal depression, while the remaining sample exhibited mild-moderate (37.4%) to severe (11.1%) depression symptomatology. Through regression analyses, the study aimed to examine whether IBs accounted for more of the variance in depression symptomatology after the effects of CDs were considered. Moreover, it tested whether CDs served as a moderator or mediator between IBs and depression. Each of Ellis' IBs (demandingness, awfulizing, self-downing, and low frustration tolerance) accounted for significantly more variance in depression after the variance of CDs was entered with the IB of self-downing explaining the most variance in depression severity. Moreover, while no moderation effect was found, CDs partially mediated the effect of IBs on depression. Both IBs and CDs contributed unique variance in predicting depression. Findings support the clinical notion that IBs and CDs are associated as well as highlight the clinical utility of both conceptualizations of dysfunctional cognitions in explaining depressive symptomatology. Clinicians might consider that each dysfunctional cognition might not be subject to change if not directly targeted. Rather than choosing to focus exclusively on IBs or CDs underlying negative automatic thoughts, psychotherapeutic efforts might benefit from identifying and challenging both types of dysfunctional cognitions.
Educación para la paz y formación profesional: aproximación desde la investigación documental
Authors: Torres Gómez Myriam Fernanda
Published: April 2019

En la actual coyuntura sociopolítica del continente, se observa una tendencia hacia la guerra, la xenofobia, el odio, la exclusión, el terror y la significación del otro como “enemigo”. Este panorama revela expresiones de violencia con la imposición de poder que desconoce la garantía de derechos desde la diversidad. Este artículo muestra hallazgos y retos pedagógicos productos de la investigación cualitativa documental y el análisis de más de cuarenta documentos. También ofrece rutas para repensar el lugar de la educación en y para la paz en la formación profesional. Como hallazgo se observa el incipiente abordaje didáctico desde las prácticas educativas en torno a la paz en el contexto universitario de las ciencias sociales, el cual centra su atención en el abordaje de la paz en perspectiva de conflictos macrosociales y sociopolíticos, y no en formar desde y para la paz en el contexto de la vida cotidiana
Contribuciones de la agroecología escolar a la soberanía alimentaria: caso fundación viracocha
Authors: Pitta Paredes Maria Jose , Acevedo Osorio Álvaro
Published: April 2019

La agroecología escolar constituye una alternativa integral para generar cultura agroalimentaria en entornos escolares y comunitarios, por medio de la articulación entre los ámbitos de producción, transformación y consumo, que propende por una educación con pertinencia para el sector rural. Este artículo muestra los resultados de un estudio que analiza la relación producción/adherencia a las minutas de los participantes de la Fundación Viracocha —San Agustín, Huila, Colombia—. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a los líderes y participantes de dos programas de la fundación. Los hallazgos de esta investigación permiten dilucidar que las transformaciones se generan si los estudiantes tienen contacto con el huerto, la cocina y el comedor, de manera que se articule el proceso agrícola con el de la alimentación, no solo en el espacio escolar, sino en el comunitario a través de los programas promovidos por la fundación. Se concluye que la agroecología escolar es una estrategia educativa adecuada para ser incorporada en el sistema de educación y alimentación escolar, para facilitar la creación de espacios de producción, preparación y consumo de alimentos sanos que vinculen a los estudiantes en la configuración de una cultura agroalimentaria basada en el enfoque de producción sostenible y consumo responsable.
Sobre el maestro, el entrenamiento, el cuidado de sí y el decir veraz
Authors: Pulido Cortés Oscar
Published: April 2019

En estas notas editoriales se hace un reconocimiento al maestro como forma y sujeto de la educación contemporánea que sobrevive a los embates de la mercantilización y el mercado que circula en la sociedad —en términos generales— y en la educación —como caso particular—. De aquí que el maestro contemporáneo que pretenda serlo no solo debe ubicarse en el cuidado, la inquietud de sí como ejercicio de transformación del otro, sino que a la vez se ubica en el ejercicio del decir veraz que implica no solo un acompañamiento cercano, sino la posibilidad de ruptura frente a la tragedia de la verdad a las verdades que consolidan el ejercicio pedagógico y las prácticas educativas contemporáneas.

Why Fuzzy Partition in F-Transform?
Authors: Kreinovich Vladik , Kosheleva Olga , Sriboonchitta Songsak
Published: April 2019

In many application problems, F-transform algorithms are very efficient. In F-transform techniques, we replace the original signal or image with a finite number of weighted averages. The use of weighted average can be naturally explained, e.g., by the fact that this is what we get anyway when we measure the signal. However, most successful applications of F-transform have an additional not-so-easy-to-explain feature: the partition requirement, that the sum of all the related weighting functions is a constant. In this paper, we show that this seemingly difficult-to-explain requirement can also be naturally explained in signal-measuring terms: namely, this requirement can be derived from the natural desire to have all the signal values at different moments of time estimated with the same accuracy.

Published: April 2019

Carbon stock is one of the essential types of ecosystem services that are provided by vegetation. Land use has significant effects both directly and indirectly on vegetation cover and strongly influences the carbon stock within the ecosystem. In this study, we have investigated the effect of land cover changes on the carbon stocks at the sub-watershed of Sumber Brantas, Batu city, East Java. This research was conducted at the Junrejo, Batu and Bumiaji districts of Batu city. Land cover classes were determined from satellite imagery. The carbon stock was measured at plot and landscape level using RaCSA. The results showed that forest conversion into plantation forest (pine, Teak, Albizia chinensis, Anthocephalus cadamba) or agricultural land caused losses of the above-ground C-stock of ~50 Mg ha-1, while losses of the underground C-stock were ~20 Mg ha-1. Tree biomass contributes about 60% of the C-stock on average, while the understorey and necromass contribute C-stock about 2% and 5%, respectively. Mixed forest has a total C-stock as much as 316.64 Mg ha-1, followed by plantation forest (247.19 Mg ha-1), farmland and scrubland i.e. 51.57 Mg ha-1 and 12 Mg ha-1,respectively. As the consequences of forest conversion into cropland (2008~2012), the Sumber Brantas sub-watershed (139,447 ha) has been lost its C-stock as much as 0.83 Mg ha-1 yr-1, equivalent to 3.04 Mg CO2 ha-1 yr-1. This study showed that C-stock will be maintained by managing and planting woody plant which has high tree biomass.

Authors: Nurwahyuni Endah , Putra Eka Tarwaca Susila
Published: April 2019

Planting drought-resistance plants in terms of agronomy, such as induction of plant tolerance using calcium is assumed to be able to solve the climate anomaly problem. Calcium is known as an element that plays an essential role in determining the response of plant resistance to drought through biochemical activity. This study aimed to determine the role of calcium in changing photosynthesis activity in order to increase the resistance to drought stress. The treatment was arranged in factorial of 3 x 4 in a split plot Randomized Complete Block Design replicated three times. The first factor was the dose of calcium application consisted of 0 (control/without calcium), 0.04, 0.08 and 0.12 g. The second factor was the intensity of drought stress, which referred to the Fraction of Transpirable Soil Water method consisted of 1 (control/field capacity), 0.35 (moderate drought) and 0.15 (severe drought). The measurement data of stomatal aperture, Abscisic Acid (ABA) content, chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, proline content, nitrate reductase activity and photosynthesis rate that fulfill the assumption of homogeneity and normality were analyzed using variance at 95% accuracy and continued using DMRT. Moreover, regression analysis were determined of relationship between the treatment and parameters. The results revealed that drought resulted in a decline in leaf water potential and stomatal aperture. The effects of calcium on chlorophyll and carotenoid under drought stress could not be explained in this study. However, the application of calcium has a significant effect on decreased ABA, increased proline and nitrate reductase activity resulting in an increase in the photosynthetic rate of oil palm seeds in drought stress.

» The etiology of osteonecrosis following SCFE is multifactorial, and multiple treatment strategies, including techniques of epiphyseal reduction, capsulotomy, and timing of surgical intervention, that are intended to reduce this risk have been utilized.

» At the present time, because of conflicting data and the lack of high-level evidence, there are a paucity of data to determine the role that these techniques play in reducing the risk of osteonecrosis.

» Further scientific research is needed to understand the etiology of osteonecrosis following SCFE.
Politics, Local Governments, and Sharia By-Laws in Indonesia: Revisiting A Common Assumption
Authors: Muhtada Dani
Published: April 2019

After the fall of Suharto regime, some local governments in Indonesia have adopted Shari’a by-laws. Several studies suggest that this adoption of Shari’a by-laws was influenced mostly by the political motives of the local elites. They used such by-laws as a strategy to gain political supports from Muslim voters. They also used the by-laws to facilitate bribery and electoral corruption using social and religious instruments and to distract people’s attention from ongoing corruption. Although it confirms the political motives behind the adoption of the Shari’a by-laws, this paper suggests that such political motives may not the only factors leading to the introduction of Shari’a by-laws. Based on the study of the political and religious backgrounds of the district heads, who were elected in the local elections between 2008 and 2013, in the six major provinces, this paper indicates that political motives do not play alone. The district heads’ religious backgrounds can be the other important factors contributing to the adoption of Shari’a by-laws by some local governments in Indonesia.Keywords: Shari’a by-laws, politics, local governments, Indonesia.
Methods for Estimating Fracture Abundance and Size From Borehole Observations
Authors: Berg Charles R.
Published: April 2019

This study develops deterministic, exact equations relating fracture frequency (P10), density (P32), and length and width dimensions of rectangular and elliptical fractures from borehole observations. These general equations are applicable to both image logs and cores. A Monte Carlo type of simulation model generated the stochastic data used to derive the equations. The equations use five basic parameters relating frequency to density: borehole diameter, fracture length, fracture width, fracture angle with borehole axis (β), and the rotation angle of the long fracture axis within the fracture plane (γ). For both general equations, density corrections can be applied to individual fractures to find density. Fracture porosity is calculated on a per–fracture basis by applying aperture to density corrections. Both equations match the model to within the small standard deviation between simulations. In addition, the elliptical equation generally agrees with the existing exact theory.

The study also develops methods for calculating fracture height (width) and length for rectangular fractures. Fracture height and length are calculated by observing the borehole–enclosed height and length and comparing them with the borehole–enclosed area. The calculation of fracture size is extended to estimate block height and length (block–face size.)

These relationships cover a wide range of fracture size and orientation vs. borehole diameter. The theory is valid from small boreholes to tunnels. The general equations consider fractures as planar objects with length and width dimensions and negligible aperture compared with the other dimensions. Fracture aperture is applied, on a per–fracture basis, after the density correction to calculate fracture porosity. In addition to density and porosity calculations, an existing method for fracture–frequency prediction is improved by applying the general relationships.

The methods described here are demonstrated using an image log from a vertical well from British Columbia, Canada. In this well, an image log was run over the Triassic section, including the zone of interest, the Montney Formation. Although the average fracture size in the Montney was very large, possibly on the order of tens of meters, they had a much smaller block–face size, on the order of a few meters, which could explain some of the production aspects from this formation.

The study of meningeal lymphatic vessels of the central nervous system (CNS) has recently gathered momentum, with several papers dissecting their role in draining solutes from cerebrospinal fluid and brain (Louveau et al., Nature 523(7560):337–341, 2015; Antila et al., J Exp Med 214(12):3645–3667, 2017; Aspelund et al., J Exp Med 212(7):991–999, 2015). Methodological capabilities, however, have been limited to few laboratories due to difficulties reproducibly visualizing these rare cell subsets in the meninges. To explore meningeal lymphatics fundamental role during homeostasis and how they may contribute to human pathology, the field has begun to require purification and characterization of lymphatic endothelial cells. Here, modern cell biological techniques involving a combination of histological, flow-cytometric, and functional drainage assays are applied to brain and spinal cord meninges and detailed stepwise procedures used for successful in vivo and ex vivo characterization of meningeal lymphatic vessels.
Prevalence of hepatitis C infection among general population and high-risk groups in the EU/EEA: A systematic review update
Authors: Han Ru , Zhou Junwen , François Clément , MondherToumi
Published: April 2019

Background

Although significant improvement in efficacy measured by sustained virological response, the high acquisition costs of direct-acting antivirals limit the access for patients and influence the costs of health care resource utilization in hepatitis C. It is important to have the latest estimates of prevalence, especially in the high risk groups, for cost of illness, cost-effectiveness and budget impact studies.

Methods

Original studies on the estimates of the prevalence among general and high-risk populations in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) were retrieved from Medline and Embase for the period from 2015 to 2018. All included studies were evaluated for risk of selection bias and summarized together in narrative form. Results from previous reviews and the updated searches were compared per country among different populations, respectively.

Results

Among 3871 studies identified, 46 studies were included, with 20 studies used for the estimate for the general population, 3 for men who have sex with men (MSM), 6 for prisoners and 17 for people who inject drugs (PWID). Compared with the results reported in previous systematic reviews, the updated estimates were lower than previous ones in most available countries. Anti-HCV general population prevalence estimates ranges from 0.54% to 1.50% by country. The highest prevalence of anti-HCV was found among PWID (range of 7.90% - 82.00%) followed by prisoners (7.00% - 41.00%), HIV-positive MSM (1.80% - 7.10%), HIV-negative HIV status-MSM (0.20% - 1.80%), pregnant women (0.10% - 1.32%) and blood donors (0.03% - 0.09%).

Conclusions

Our study highlights the heterogeneity in anti-HCV prevalence across different population groups in EU/EEA. The prevalence also varies widely between European countries. There are many countries that are not represented in our results, highlighting the need for the development of robust epidemiological studies.

Published: April 2019

We present an electromagnet combining a large number of windings in a
constrained volume with efficient cooling. It is based on bulk copper
where a small pitch spiral is cut out and impregnated with epoxy,
forming an ensemble which is then machined at will to maximize the use
of the available volume. Water cooling is achieved in parallel by direct
contact between coolant and the copper windings. A pair of such coils
produces magnetic fields suitable for exploiting the broad Feshbach
resonance of ^66Li
at 832.2\,832.2G.
It offers a compact and cost-effective alternative solution for quantum
gas experiments.
The experience of an American economics visiting faculty member in China
Authors: F. Gentle Paul
Published: April 2019

Some American economists have contemplated taking a visiting academic post at a Chinese University. This article is to help inform an American economist what some facets of the experience may be like. There is a literature review, which includes the work of Gregory Chow who was one of the most influential economists, who ascertained the economic education needs of China, once Deng Xiaoping wished to implement a much less Maoist economic model. The experience of an American economist who was a visiting faculty member in China for almost twelve years serves as the basis of this story. The results of this article several cities in China have produced an outlook of what contemplating American faculty to be mindful of. One can learn a lot through assignments in China. Knowing how to convey a respectful attitude towards Chinese will usually increase the respect the Chinese show visiting American economics faculty.
Identification of dependencies between the imbalances of financial resources and investment flows in the eastern European economies
Authors: Korneyev Maxim
Published: April 2019

Strengthening financial and economic stability in certain countries of the world requires the modification of tools for assessing the imbalances in the flow of financial resources that arise and spread as a result of the economy financialization and their consequences for the functioning of markets, especially investment ones. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodological approach to identifying the dependencies between financial resources imbalances resulting from financialization and investment flows. The following research methods were used: science-based abstraction, analysis and synthesis, economic and mathematical methods (to identify the dependencies between the imbalances in the movement of financial resources and investment flows in the economy); comparison and analogy (to study the world experience in identifying the links between financialization and investment flows in the economy). The aspects of the influence of imbalances in financial resources movement as a result of the economy financialization on investment flows are systematized. Various consequences of these imbalances for the functioning of the investment market are determined. The algorithm of identification of special aspects of investment flows influenced by financial resources imbalances was modified. The hypothesis of the strong correlation between the dynamics of foreign direct investment in the Eastern European countries and the level of imbalances in the flow of financial resources has been confirmed. The hypothesis of the significant influence of financialization processes on investment activity in the real sector of the economy, including infrastructure investments, has been refuted. It has been established that imbalances in the flow of financial resources as a result of financialization do not contribute to the development of investment markets of Eastern European countries, and only intensify disparities by directing foreign direct investment in the financial sectors of these countries and increasing the volatility of their market conditions.It has been determined that the approach to identifying the dependencies between financial resources imbalances as a result of financialization and investment flows in Eastern European economies has allowed to substantiate the impact of such imbalances on investment amounts and on the capital formation dynamics.

Published: April 2019

Human E-cadherin and listeriolysin O (LLO) are involved in invasion ofListeria monocytogenesinto human liver parenchymal cells (LPC). Yet, it remains to be determined whether murine E-cadherin and LLO participate in invasion ofL. monocytogenesinto murine LPC. In the present study, involvement of murine E-cadherin and LLO in invasion ofL. monocytogenesinto murine LPC was investigated. Murine E-cadherin was expressed on murine LPC, but the expression became undetectable by insertion of transgene of Simian virus 40 large T antigen. Although invasion ofL. monocytogenesinto murine LPC was found regardless of murine E-cadherin expression, infection rate ofL. monocytogenesbeing unable to secrete LLO was lower than that ofL. monocytogenesbeing capable of secreting LLO. Our RESULTS verify that invasion ofL. monocytogenesinto murine LPC occurs independently of murine E-cadherin and indicate that LLO participates in invasion ofL. monocytogenesinto murine LPC.
