A Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), que tem sua origem no século XIX,  acumula acervos significativos e representativos de diversas áreas do conhecimento. Esta situação estimulou um projeto que estabeleceu como objetivo políticas específicas de manutenção e preservação do seu acervo. Em 2015, iniciou o mapeamento dos bens culturais e artístico, móveis e imóveis nos campi da UFBA, em Salvador tendo como resultado o inventário, que apresenta componentes de identificação de tipologias e de classificação individual, do estado de conservação dos exemplares das diversas unidades acadêmicas, de prioridades no âmbito da conservação, preservação e restauração do patrimônio. O inventário, de método quantitativo e qualitativo, compõe uma base de dados eletrônica, atualizada, de acesso simples e democrático, que permite acesso à comunidade acadêmica, aos pesquisadores e a sociedade em geral. Quanto aos livros raros, localizados na coordenação Lugares de Memória, foram cadastrados 398 obras raras dos Séculos XVI a XVIII. Falta realizar inventário das coleções e livros com características especiais dos Séculos XVIII, XIX e XX. Ao estimar os resultados desse projeto, vale o investimento nas proposições apresentadas acima, pois eles não só favorecem a UFBA, mas também beneficia a sociedade, uma vez que esta instituição passará a ser um polo disseminador e promotor de políticas de preservação de acervos e salvaguarda do patrimônio cultural, que estarão disponíveis no repositório institucional para consulta da comunidade interna e externa.
Por uma preservação integral da obra de arte digital: anotações sobre arte tecnológica
Authors: Gobira Pablo
Published: October 2016

Este trabalho reflete sobre a arte digital e a sua preservação. Como uma arte reconhecida como nativa digital (born digital), ela se encontra entre o campo da arte contemporânea e o campo amplo da tecnologia digital. Ao mesmo tempo, ela se insere em uma sociedade na qual essa tecnologia se estabeleceu em todo o mundo possibilitando críticas à ideia do “digital” como avanço ou progresso. A partir desses pressupostos, procuramos pensar a complexidade dessa expressão artística manifesta na sua preservação. Neste artigo, que apresenta anotações derivadas de pesquisas sobre arte e a sua preservação, buscamos reunir a reflexão em torno das possibilidades do que poderia ser – e significar – uma preservação integral da arte digital.
Flood frequency analysis using synthetic samples
Authors: Orsini-Zegada Luis , Escalante-Sandoval Carlos Agustín
Published: October 2016

The design flow is the basis for planning and designing different hydraulic works. The precision in estimated flows is important when analyzing the feasibility of such structures because the value directly influences the evaluation of the failure effects. However, due to flow variability, the precision of the estimate is drastically reduced when small samples are used in a conventional flood frequency analysis (FFA). This paper proposes a new approach based on a combined simulation of the annual peak and mean flows. The method was evaluated by considering 10-, 20-, 30-, 40- and 50-yr subsamples obtained from 13 gauging stations located in the Susquehanna River basin. The results were compared with those obtained by FFA and the regional station-year method. This new approach can reduce the uncertainty in estimating the design flow when few data are available.

This article proposes a methodology to discover patterns in observed climatologic data, particularly temperatures and rainfall, in subnational political division units using an automatic classification algorithm (a decision tree produced by the C4.5 algorithm). Thus, the patterns represent classification trees, assuming that: (1) every political division unit contains at least one climatological station, and (2) the recording periods of the stations are relatively similar in duration and in their initial and ending years. A series of classification models are produced by using different subsets from an experimental dataset. This dataset contains information from 3606 climatological stations in Mexico with recording periods whose durations, initial and ending years are diverse. The target (dependent) variable in all these models is the name of the political unit (i.e., the state). The predictors are 36 monthly features per each climatological station: 12 features corresponding to a minimum temperature, 12 to a maximum temperature, and 12 to cumulative rainfall. The altitude feature is also used as one of the predictors, in addition to the other 36; however, it is used only to quantify its additional contribution to the modelling. The results show that classification trees are effective models for describing and representing non-trivial patterns to characterize the political division units based on their monthly temperatures and rainfalls. One of the remarkable findings is that the cumulative rainfall of May is the feature with highest discrimination capability to the characterization task, which is consistent with the theoretical background on Mexican climatology. In addition, classification trees offer higher expressivity to non-experts in machine learning.

Many people died in the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, children in Kamaishi City survived by taking advantage of what they learned from disaster prevention education. It was called the “Kamaishi Miracle,” and the story spread around the world. In this study, the disaster prevention education that made possible the appropriate evacuation of the children is examined and future education possibilities are discussed. First, it should be pointed out that most disaster prevention education conducted before the earthquake took the form of “threatening disaster prevention education” or “knowledge-oriented disaster prevention education.” To solve the deficiencies in these programs, “attitude-oriented disaster prevention education” with a focus on children’s independence is proposed. In addition, three educational guidelines regarding evacuation from tsunamis are discussed. We also study the current status of disaster prevention education in Japan after the earthquake and show that when it puts an emphasis on life and community it have far-reaching effect.

The role of recovery organization management is important, and organizations in various forms have been established internationally to aid recovery from large-scale disasters. This paper clarifies three types of recovery organizations by analyzing them in various countries based on disaster organization theory. Furthermore, it analyzes recovery organizations that operated after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake in Japan. It then examines the operations of recovery organizations during large-scale earthquakes that may lead to a national crisis by comparing recovery organizations internationally. Finally, this paper clarifies the necessity of “emergent” organizations.
Targeting Vulnerable People with a Social Safety Net: Lessons from the CFW Program for the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster

Published: October 2016

The Emergency Job Creation (EJC) program in which unemployed people are hired for recovery works funded by the government was introduced after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan. The program is very similar to Cash for Work (CFW) programs that are often implemented as social safety nets (SSNs). This paper evaluates how the EJC program targeted those most in need. From four projects, 938 participants were sampled and simple selection bias tests were conducted among job applicants in the region where the project was undertaken. Participants of the EJC program included more single females and irregular workers than the population group, thus demonstrating the EJC’s self-targeting function. Around 80% of participants were without dependent family members implying that there are two types of potential participants: those who prefer limited responsibilities with relatively low wages, and those who prefer a larger burden of responsibility with relatively higher wages. Because the wages provided by the EJC program may be high enough for the former, but too low for the latter, the program eventually excluded the second group. Similar programs in future should provide other types of jobs corresponding to people’s preferences. Previously unemployed participants were likely to be those who lost their houses; that damage had pushed them into the labor market. Because of the relatively minor existing SSN for housing damage, the EJC program served as an important safety net for disaster-affected people without a private safety net such as insurance.
A Semi-Analytical Model on Wave-Induced Setup over Fringing Reefs with a Shallow Reef Crest

The vulnerability of low-lying reef-fringed atolls to coastal inundation in extreme wave events is of increasing concern in the context of global sea level rise. Wave-induced setup is an important component of wave runup along reef shorelines. We improved a semi-analytical model to investigate wave-induced setup over fringing reefs crested by a shallow reef. Using mass balance and hydraulics, we developed the model based on flow around reef crest kinematics. We proposed a scaling factor to account for flow unsteadiness and reef-crest shape effects. Our solution showed that wave setup on the reef flat is a function of both offshore wave steepness and the wave refection coefficient. Validation of the model by laboratory data shows that the model reproduces the maximum wave-induced setup on the reef flat in the presence of a reef crest with diffident crest widths. Applying the model to experimental data under various reef configurations and wave conditions were also successful. We found that the scaling factor in the model increased with increasing fore-reef slope but was insensitive to variations in reef-crest width. A key requirement for the model to do is that the reef-crest submergence must be small enough or nearly emergent so that an approximate critical flow condition exists.
Long-Term Geomorphic Changes in the Coastal Profile of Lingding Bay in the Pearl River Estuary and the Response to Tides Since 1906

Lingding Bay in the Pearl River Estuary, located on the north coast of the South China Sea, experiences frequent storm surges caused by typhoons. The geomorphic features of the Pearl River Estuary have changed tremendously due to natural processes and human activities over the last century, and these changes have led to changes in the hydrodynamic environment, such as a reduced capacity for holding tides in the coastal zone. In this paper, the relation between geomorphic features and the capacity for holding tides is analyzed. In order to ascertain how historical landform change affects this capacity, we study the spatial morphology change of Lingding Bay in the Pearl River Estuary (since 1906) through the analysis of historical topographic maps and nautical charts. The shape index and fractal dimension were introduced as indicators to reflect coastline changes that have affected the tides. The tidal dissipation rate and tidal influx were found to describe a bay’s capacity to hold tides. The results show that, since 1906, the tidal influx and the tidal dissipation rate have decreased by about 14.11% and 23%, respectively, in the study area. We suppose that these changes could be attributed to geomorphic changes, primarily changes brought about by land reclamation projects.
Accuracy of Quantitative Precipitation Estimation Using Operational Weather Radars: A Case Study of Heavy Rainfall on 9–10 September 2015 in the East Kanto Region, Japan

On 9–10 September 2015, the East Kanto region of Japan experienced a period of record-breaking heavy rainfall that caused a number of fatalities and serious property damage. The maximum 24-hr rainfall total (0600 UTC 9 September 2015 to 0600 UTC 10 September 2015), about 500 mm, was recorded over Tochigi Prefecture. Spatial and temporal variations in the meteorological and hydrological characteristics of this rainfall event were analyzed using data from the Japan Meteorological Agency’s (JMA) C-band radar network and data from the X-band polarimetric radar network (XRAIN). The rain gauge data available from the Kanto region has a temporal resolution of 10 min. The spatial and temporal resolutions of the JMA C-band radar data are 1000 m and 5 min, respectively, whereas the XRAIN radar has spatial and temporal resolutions of 250 m and 1 min, respectively. Data from the two radar networks were compared, both with each other and with data from various rain gauge networks to validate their accuracy. The 24-hr total rainfall data from both radar networks showed frequency distributions similar to those showed by the rain gauge data. However, the JMA and XRAIN data showed different distributions for the higher rainfall intensity thresholds. There was no relationship evident between rainfall and elevation in either of the radar datasets recorded during this event. The spatial distribution of rainfall over the study area derived from XRAIN showed clear variations, whereas the JMA radar did not. This is most probably related to the coarser spatial and temporal resolutions of the JMA observations. Based on a comparison of data from the rain gauge and radar networks, the XRAIN data more accurately reflected the rain gauge stations than did the JMA data. From a hydrological perspective, the Kinugawa watershed is unique in terms of its topography. The upper part of the watershed is wide and mountainous, whereas the rest is narrow and elongate north–south. The rain echo moved from south to north over the catchment, and the highest 24-hr accumulated rainfall totals were recorded mostly in the upper (northern) part of the Kinugawa watershed, whereas there was less rainfall in the lower (southern) part. This pattern suggests a high probability of serious flooding along the Kinugawa River in the days following such a rainfall event if the heaviest rainfall moves northwards over the watershed.

Globally, next to CO2 and Methane, raising levels of tropospheric ozone (O3), acts as a secondary pollutant and green house gas which is a silent threat as well as one of the biggest challenges for the decrease in agricultural production. The diurnal and seasonal variation characteristics of ambient ozone (O3) and its precursor NOx was investigated by their continuous measurements at ISRO-Climate Change Observatory situated in a high altitude Western Ghats location of Ooty. The impact of ambient  O3 on the growth and yield characteristics of various potato genotypes were assessed by the calculated higher ozone exposure indices AOT40 and SUM60 than critical levels by showing “latent injury“ in the form of  yield reduction (4.56 - 25.5 %) in potato genotypes. The impact of three elevated O3 levels (100, 150 and 200 ppb for 4 hd-1) on ten potato genotypes was done by fumigation under controlled open–top chamber during its critical stage namely the tuber initiation stage resulted that Kufri Surya proved to be moderately resistant by recording the highest yield.

Sejauh ini, penelitian perbanyakan somatik embriogenesis baik untuk penyediaan semaian batang bawah maupun varietas komersial jeruk menghasilkan laju multiplikasi yang relatif lambat. Kombinasi antara perbanyakan melalui metode somatik embriogenesis dengan penggunaan bioreaktor, diharapkan mampu meningkatkan laju produksi kalus embrionik menjadi planlet.  Kajian awal dilakukan menggunakan nuselus Kalamondin (Citrus mitis Blanco) sebagai sumber kalus. Kalus yang dihasilkan diinduksi dan diperbanyak menjadi kalus embrionik dan embrio dengan cara dikulturkan pada shaker (100 rpm) serta bulb bioreactor. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah membandingkan produksi embrio Kalamondin melalui teknologi somatik embriogenesis pada kultur cair menggunakan shaker dan bioreaktor. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Kultur Jaringan Balai Penelitian Tanaman Jeruk dan Buah Subtropika, dari September 2008 sampai dengan Desember 2009.  Pada tahapan perbanyakan embrio dengan metode shaker, diperoleh bahwa rerata kemampuan kalus menghasilkan embrio dalam kultur selama 10 minggu ialah 18,12 embrio/g kalus. Dengan kisaran waktu yang sama, total embrio yang dihasilkan 3 g kalus/300 cc media cair di dalam bioreaktor menghasilkan 46 embrio/g kalus atau setara 2,53 kali dibandingkan metode shaker. Embrio yang tumbuh pada bioreaktor dapat berkembang hampir 100% menjadi planlet. Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa aplikasi bioreaktor untuk tujuan perbanyakan massal embrio Kalamondin memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap laju multiplikasinya.

ABSTRACT. Asniwita,  Hidayat, SH, Suastika, G, Sujiprihati, S, Susanto, S, and Hayati, I 2012. Exploration of Weak Isolates of  Chili Veinal Mottle Potyvirus from Chili Peppers in Jambi, West Sumatera, and West Java. Chili veinal mottle potyvirus (ChiVMV) is known as an important virus infecting chili peppers and may cause significant yield loss.  Management strategy of virus diseases using cross protection relies on the ability of mild strain of virus to protect plant from infection by severe strain of the same virus. A research was initiated to employ cross protection approach for disease management to reduce the infection of ChiVMV.  Initial exploration was conducted at chili peppers growing areas in Jambi, West Sumatera, and West Java to collect ChiVMV field isolates, whereas ChiVMV detection was conducted at Plant Virology Laboratorium, and transmission to chili peppers in Greenhouse Plant Protection Department, Bogor Agricultural Institute from February to July 2011. ChiVMV isolates were successfully collected and propagated in susceptible chili peppers line (Capsicum annuum L.) IPB C13.  Based on percentage of symptom development, and disease severity of ChiVMV isolates can be differentiated into three groups, i.e. strong isolate (CKB), mild isolate (CKW), and weak isolates (KAR, SPR, IVAK, SKT, LGM, SKR, CGN, CSR, and PGL). Further characterization of promising ChiVMV weak isolates could use as an agent of cross protection candidates in controlling mottle disease caused by ChiVMV.

Authors: Linton Fiona , Skubula Alexandra , Ibrahim Heba , Jee Richard
Published: October 2016

We present the case of a patient who had a tonsillar biopsy as a day case and developed prolonged neuromuscular blockade. He was diagnosed with Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) and a subsequent biopsy confirmed mixed small and non‐small cell lung cancer.

This case reinforces the importance of neuromuscular monitoring and investigating episodes of prolonged neuromuscular blockade. It also highlights the significance of patients who complain of lower limb weakness during their anaesthetic pre‐assessment and the requirement for further evaluation.

Published: October 2016

Laser irradiation effect on the optical band gap of Se-Te-Al thin films has been studied. Optical data Analysis of thin films indicates indirect allowed transition in the Se-Te-Al system. Analysis of the result reveals that the optical band gap decreases with increasing irradiation time as well as Aluminum content. However, laser irradiation does not show a significant effect at higher Aluminum concentration. It might be due to lack of weak Se-Te bond as Te content decreases with increasing Al content. It shows that alloy with rich Al content is more stable against laser irradiation. It is also observed that absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient increases with laser irradiation time.

Authors: Santos Flavia Maria Teixeira dos
Published: October 2016

Desde 2009 tem havido uma expansão da internacionalização do ensino superior no Brasil; traduzida em um conjunto de programas financiados pelo governo federal, por meio da Fundação Capes. O Programa de Licenciaturas Internacionais incentiva projetos voltados para a melhoria do ensino e da qualidade na formação inicial de professores e promove o intercâmbio de estudantes de Licenciatura em cursos de graduação da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal. Há obstáculos que devem ser superados decorrentes da incompatibilidade curricular dos cursos de formação de professores no Brasil e na Europa. Vamos discutir os desafios de garantir a compatibilidade entre os diferentes sistemas, de modo a criar um ambiente adequado para a mobilidade dos licenciandos brasileiros e permitir-lhes a realização de uma parte da sua formação no exterior.
Diplomas de mestrado e doutorado em Educação obtidos em universidades estrangeiras: o reconhecimento a partir da concretude dos dados
Authors: Vilarinho Lucia Regina , Gonzalez Wania Regina Coutinho
Published: October 2016

Este artigo objetiva contribuir para as discussões que ocorrem no contexto de diferentes universidades brasileiras autorizadas a reconhecer estudos em nível de pós-graduação stricto sensu (mestrado e doutorado), quando se debruçam sobre documentos que geram os diplomas obtidos fora do território nacional. O texto se origina da análise de documentos pertencentes a 32 pedidos de reconhecimento na área da Educação, a qual levou à identificação de problemas nos seguintes aspectos: atas das defesas, currículos de membros da banca examinadora, currículo do orientador e sua participação na defesa e resumo do trabalho. A análise permitiu identificar condições díspares entre a obtenção de diplomas stricto sensu dentro e fora do Brasil, pondo em questão o princípio da equivalência de estudos.

Published: October 2016

O presente manuscrito destina-se à apresentação de algumas ações desenvolvidas no projeto de ensino na área de saúde que têm realizado importantes contribuições teórico-práticas para a formação de docentes e para o ensino superior em saúde, no contexto de um programa de pós-graduação em Pesquisa Clínica em Doenças Infecciosas, destacando a base teórica nos princípios da educação emancipatória de Paulo Freire. Assim, apresentamos experiências que vêm fortalecendo esse programa, não somente no que se refere à qualificação e ao aperfeiçoamento profissional para o Sistema Único de Saúde, mas também na melhor compreensão da produção do conhecimento na área da saúde. Nossa intenção é divulgar tais iniciativas inspiradas em pressupostos freireanos e na cooperação internacional, com foco na pós-graduação.
O atual cenário do processo formativo de professores para o magistério da educação básica no Brasil
Authors: Vaz de Mello Rita Márcia Andrade , Cury Carlos Roberto Jamil
Published: October 2016

No atual contexto brasileiro de formação de professores, destaca-se o Conselho Técnico-Científico de Educação Básica da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CTC-EB/Capes). A partir de diálogos com a literatura e a legislação educacional que tratam da formação inicial e continuada de professores e de questionários aplicados a membros do CTC-EB/Capes, esperamos oferecer subsídios tanto para a sua dinâmica quanto para a compreensão dessa formação e seu aperfeiçoamento. Ressaltamos o importante papel desse conselho na condução da Política Nacional de Formação de Professores. Evidencia-se a transitoriedade do nível de formação do professor, bem como o conflito entre o reconhecimento da necessidade de formação em nível superior e a manutenção dela em nível médio, o que denota a indefinição de uma política de formação desses profissionais.
The influence of pH on gas-liquid mass transfer in non-Newtonian fluids
Authors: Li Shaobai , Fan Jungeng , Xu Shuang , Li Rundong , Luan Jingde
Published: October 2016

In this study, the effect of pH on the mass transfer of oxygen bubble swarms in non-Newtonian fluids was experimentally studied. The volumetric liquid side mass transfer coefficient (kLa), liquid side mass transfer coefficient (kL), and specific interfacial area (a) were investigated. The pH was regulated by the addition of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It was found that the kLa increased with the gas flow rate increasing and decreased with the apparent viscosity of the liquid increasing. In the case of pH < 7, a marginal effect of pH on the gas?liquid mass transfer was observed, but when pH value was higher than 7, mass transfer was promoted with the increase of pH value. Via investigating the impact of pH on kL and a, the variation of mass transfer at pH > 7 was attributed to the decomposition of the Xanthan molecular structure by the hydroxyl of NaOH.

-chromene-2-carboxylate derivatives (C1-C12) were synthesized by Cu (I)
catalyzed reaction of in situ generated nitrile oxides with prop-2-yn-1-yl
6-fluoro-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate in good yields and investigated
their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Among all the synthesized
compounds, C1 (IC50: 16.43 ? 0.57 ?M) and C12 (IC50:15.98 ? 0.72 ?M) have
registered good antioxidant activity as compared to the standard drug Trolox.
Compound-C1, C3, and C6 have registered very good inhibition against all
gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains with MIC values ranging
from 9.375 to 37.5 (?g mL-1). Compound-C7, C8, C9, C10, and C11 have
registered good inhibition against B. subtilis and S. aureus with MIC values
ranging from 18.75 to 37.5 (?g mL-1). Compound-C10 and C11 against P.
aero-ginosa have shown prominent activity than the standard drug Penicillin
(MIC: 12.5 ?g mL-1) with MIC 9.375 ?g mL-1 (~ 1.33 fold potent than
Penicillin). Compound-C7, C8, and C9 have registered good to moderate
antifungal activity against four tested fungal strains with MIC values
ranging from 18.75 and 37.5 ?g mL-1
Choose Your Battles: Agonism and Identity in Narratives of Feminist Fitnesses
Authors: Parrinello-Cason Michelle
Published: October 2016

In this essay, I examine the question of whether one can ascribe to ideologies of fitness and feminism as a rhetorical problem of identification. Using Burkean notions of consubstantiality to illustrate conflicted identity frameworks within narratives of feminism, femininity, and fitness, I turn to the intertwined ancient Greek roots of athletic and rhetorical instruction through the application of agonism, a term denoting struggle inherent in transformation. I then provide textual examination of three contemporary fitness campaigns aimed at promoting women's participation as illustrative examples of antagonistic, cooperative, and agonistic rhetoric in action to demonstrate the productivity of an agonistic approach to feminist fitness narratives.
Maintenance of Traffic for Innovative Geometric Design Work Zones

Published: October 2016

In an effort to improve the safety and capacity of existing roads, many transportation practitioners are implementing innovative designs at intersections and interchanges. The development of construction phasing plans for these projects is a critical component for maintaining safety and mobility on the facility during construction. The goal of this study was to address the gaps in existing knowledge by presenting the state of the practice and providing guidance for transportation practitioners in developing construction phasing and maintenance of traffic (MOT) plans for projects with innovative geometric designs. Several types of innovative geometric designs were studied, including the round about, single-point urban interchange, diverging diamond interchange, restricted-crossing left turn, median U-turn, and displaced left turn. Examples of MOT phasing diagrams showing phasing sequencing and construction work areas were developed on the basis of a review of the literature, a survey of practitioners, interviews with industry experts, and a review of actual project plans. The examples of MOT phasing diagrams are intended to serve as a starting point for transportation practitioners, but project-specific factors such as driver experience, availability of detours, traffic counts, adjacent land use, elevation differences, barrier offsets, number of lanes, and anticipated impacts of a possible closure should be considered when deciding on the best MOT methods for a given project.
