Published: August 2021

Entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises are the foundation of the Malaysian furniture industry. Yet, in a multi-ethnic society such as Malaysia, the success factors of entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the furniture industry have not been studied. Therefore, this study evaluated the success factors of entrepreneurs of the Malay and Chinese ethnic groups in the furniture industry and discerned the growth trajectory of young entrepreneurs from wood science and technology programs in the furniture industry. A questionnaire-based survey was used with the assistance of relevant trade associations and universities. The results were statistically analyzed to establish the significant differences between the two ethnic groups in their perceived success factors. The results revealed that Malay entrepreneurs pay more attention to political and socio-cultural factors to gain success, whereas Chinese entrepreneurs focus on enhancing their competitiveness to remain viable. Further, young graduates showed a reduced desire to pursue a career in the furniture industry, as they deem it not environmentally sustainable in addition to limited career growth. These results suggested that current entrepreneurship development programs may need to be revised, so as to assist in producing more resilient and successful entrepreneurs in the future in the furniture industry.

Published: August 2021

Sulfomethylation of radiata pine kraft lignin was performed using formaldehyde and sodium sulfite under alkaline conditions to determine its potential as a mineral depressant for the separation of molybdenite and chalcopyrite by froth flotation. Optimal conditions for the sulfomethylation reaction were 20% (w/w) Na2SO3 at 130 °C for 4.2 h, which resulted in lignin with a sulfonate content of 2.2 mmol/g. Microflotation assays showed that the optimized sulfomethylated kraft lignin (OSKL) depressed the molybdenite in flotation by 93% using 200 mg/L OSKL, while only 5% chalcopyrite depression was achieved. The performance of OSKL was compared with those of commercial lignosulfonates, and the OSKL displayed a better ability to separate molybdenite and chalcopyrite, even at lower concentration doses. FTIR and 1H-NMR analyses showed that sulfonic groups were incorporated into the C5 position of the aromatic ring and into the aliphatic chain of the OSKL. The hydroxymethyl content of the OSKL was increased, and most β-O-4′, β-1′ and β-5′ bonds were broken, with the exception of the β-β’ bond. Sulfomethylation gives kraft lignin the chemical characteristics of a wood-based molybdenite depressant, making it an alternative to current reagents used in the chalcopyrite-molybdenite flotation process.

Nosocomial infections are a severe public health concern around the world, particularly in developing nations where infection control is difficult owing to financial constraints. Despite the significant drop in infectious disease due to advances in medical technology and medicine, it is well acknowledged that nosocomial infection has been one of the key impediments to better health conditions. The spread of bacterial species associated with number of medical devices for example commonly used stethoscope is one of the sources of infection. The presence of coagulase negative Staphylococcus species, Enterococci species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and Acinetobacter species found to be common on stethoscope. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics without any regulation and proper screening certainly making many antibiotics non-functional to control their targeted pathogens. The hospital acquired pathogens mainly showcase increased incidences of antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study is to examine epidemiologic characteristics of nosocomial infection and to find out effectives measures for their preventing.

The connectivity of autonomous vehicles induces new attack surfaces and thusthe demand for sophisticated cybersecurity management. Thus, it is important to ensure thatin-vehicle network monitoring includes the ability to accurately detect intrusive behavior andanalyze cyberattacks from vehicle data and vehicle logs in a privacy-friendly manner. For thispurpose, we describe and evaluate a method that utilizes characteristic functions and compareit with an approach based on artificial neural networks. Visual analysis of the respective eventstreams complements the evaluation. Although the characteristic functions method is an order ofmagnitude faster, the accuracy of the results obtained is at least comparable to those obtainedwith the artificial neural network. Thus, this method is an interesting option for implementation inin-vehicle embedded systems. An important aspect for the usage of the analysis methods within acybersecurity framework is the explainability of the detection results.
Optimization approach to the choice of explicable methods for detecting anomalies in homogeneous text collections
Authors: Krasnov Fedor , Smaznevich Irina , Baskakova Elena
Published: August 2021

The problem of detecting anomalous documents in text collections is considered. The existing methods for detecting anomalies are not universal and do not show a stable result on different data sets. The accuracy of the results depends on the choice of parameters at each step of the problem solving algorithm process, and for different collections different sets of parameters are optimal. Not all of the existing algorithms for detecting anomalies work effectively with text data, which vector representation is characterized by high dimensionality with strong sparsity.The problem of finding anomalies is considered in the following statement: it is necessary to checking a new document uploaded to an applied intelligent information system for congruence with a homogeneous collection of documents stored in it. In such systems that process legal documents the following limitations are imposed on the anomaly detection methods: high accuracy, computational efficiency, reproducibility of results and explicability of the solution. Methods satisfying these conditions are investigated.The paper examines the possibility of evaluating text documents on the scale of anomaly by deliberately introducing a foreign document into the collection. A strategy for detecting novelty of the document in relation to the collection is proposed, which assumes a reasonable selection of methods and parameters. It is shown how the accuracy of the solution is affected by the choice of vectorization options, tokenization principles, dimensionality reduction methods and parameters of novelty detection algorithms.The experiment was conducted on two homogeneous collections of documents containing technical norms: standards in the field of information technology and railways. The following approaches were used: calculation of the anomaly index as the Hellinger distance between the distributions of the remoteness of documents to the center of the collection and to the foreign document; optimization of the novelty detection algorithms depending on the methods of vectorization and dimensionality reduction. The vector space was constructed using the TF-IDF transformation and ARTM topic modeling. The following algorithms have been tested: Isolation Forest, Local Outlier Factor and One-Class SVM (based on Support Vector Machine).The experiment confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategy for determining the appropriate method for detecting anomalies for a given text collection. When searching for an anomaly in the context of topic clustering of legal documents, the Isolating Forest method is proved to be effective. When vectorizing documents using TF-IDF, it is advisable to choose the optimal dictionary parameters and use the One-Class SVM method with the corresponding feature space transformation function.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe the contribution of pregnant women to the construction and evaluation of educational technology. Methods: a participatory study developed in three stages, which occurred between March 2018 and June 2019 for identifying the content, construction, and evaluation of the comic. Non-directive interviews were conducted in educational groups with 34 pregnant women. After the comic was built by a team, including a designer, an instrument was applied to 41 pregnant women to evaluate the items Objectives, Organization, Writing style, Appearance, and Motivation. Results: the comic contains 40 pages of contents, illustrations, and quizzes (word search, cross-puzzle, seven mistakes, etc). The pregnant women evaluated it as easy to understand, self-explanatory, aesthetically attractive, and capable of motivating good care practices during pregnancy, obtaining a minimum agreement of 92.1%. Final Considerations: the innovation of the educational technology consisted of incorporating the voices of pregnant women in prenatal care, with the potential to stimulate reflections and the learning process of this target audience.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the prevalence of colonization and infection by multidrug-resistant bacteria in patients undergoing kidney transplantation and identify the rate of infection, morbidity and mortality and associated risk factors. Methods: a prospective cohort of 200 randomly included kidney transplant recipients. Epidemiological surveillance of the studied microorganisms was carried out in the first 24 hours and 7 days after transplantation. Results: ninety (45%) patients were considered colonized. Female sex, hypertension and diabetes (p<0.005), dialysis time (p<0.004), length of stay after transplantation, delayed renal function, and length of stay were identified as risk factors. The microorganisms were isolated from surgical site, bloodstream and urinary tract infections. Conclusions: colonization by resistant microorganisms in kidney transplant patients was frequent and risk factors associated with infection were identified. The results should guide the care team in order to minimize morbidity and mortality related to infectious causes in this population.

ABSTRACT: Diversification of rootstock varieties, with consequent reduction in phytosanitary risks, has great importance to the sustainability of citrus cultivation in the south of Brazil. This study evaluated the performance of 42 rootstocks in the nursery phase to generate ‘Valencia Late’ sweet orange seedlings. Therefore, nucellar seedlings from the rootstocks under study were analyzed in relation to plant height, stem diameter, mortality rate and percentage of bud set after grafting. The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications of 20 sample units. Not adapted genotypes had high mortality rates, and the ones of both hybrids LCR x CTSW - 009 and LVK x LCR - 038 were 100% and 90%, respectively. Other 13 genotypes had mortality rates above 30%, and ‘Sunki’ mandarin was the female genitor of ten of them. ‘Swingle’ citrumelo was the rootstock with the highest development (plant height and stem diameter), associated with low mortality rate. In relation to the other rootstocks, the best results were the fast grafting diameter, associated with low mortality rate obtained by hybrids HTR - 053, LRF x (LCR x TR) - 005, CLEO x TRBN - 245, CLEO x TRSW - 287, and citrandarins ‘Indio’, ‘Riverside’ and ‘San Diego’, as well as Trifoliate orange and ‘Rangpur’ lime. In addition to Trifoliate orange, which is widely used in Rio Grande do Sul, these rootstocks have great potential in citriculture in the south of Brazil.

Abstract: This study investigated the current Leguminosae tree species composition in coastal forests over lithosoil soil or sandy plains in the eastern and central portion of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. A comparative study between the Atlantic Forest areas of the Southeast Region of Brazil was conducted to evaluate the influence of environmental variables on floristic differentiation. A total of 34 areas of the Southeast Region was selected from the NeoTropTree platform and the Leguminosae species in these areas were the basis for a similarity analysis. The Jaccard Similarity Index and the UPGMA method were applied for grouping analysis. The relationships between the Leguminosae species composition and the environmental variables were investigated via Cannonical Correspondance Analysis (CCA). The cluster analysis showed that the Leguminosae tree species group of this portion of Rio de Janeiro coastline share floristic affinity with seasonal forests, a result confirmed by CCA. This floristic differentiation is sustained by an exclusive group of Leguminosae species established over lithosoils or sandy plains, and signals that the extent of dry forests in Rio de Janeiro state might be larger than currently stated. The results justify distinct conservation actions in view of the floristic singularities of these areas.

Authors: Camargo Wagner Xavier de
Published: August 2021

Resumo: Em algum momento da chamada ‘década esportiva’, na qual o Brasil passou por dinâmicas políticas, econômicas e sociais de grande impacto, emergiram ‘minorias’ sexuais engajadas, as quais trouxeram como pauta a presença de outros corpos e estéticas de gênero no meio futebolístico brasileiro. A proliferação destes e a intensificação de suas demandas desembocaram na organização de torneios específicos para pessoas autoidentificadas como LGBTIQAP+, em várias regiões do país. A LiGay Nacional de Futebol Society é o resultado direto de uma arregimentação maior desses grupos. A partir de uma pesquisa etnográfica em eventos planejados e executados pela referida liga (entre 2017 e 2019), este artigo busca ponderar sobre essas novas práticas esportivas e o modo como atletas homo/transexuais subjetivam de forma diferente o futebol, reeditando-o como espaço de acontecimento.

Resumo: Introdução: A educação interprofissional (EIP) desenvolve competências colaborativas, aprimora a segurança do paciente e melhora a qualidade da atenção à saúde. A disponibilidade para aprendizagem compartilhada relaciona-se diretamente com a EIP. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a disponibilidade dos estudantes para a EIP, de acordo com os ciclos e cursos. Método: Trata-se de estudo transversal, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa. Utilizou-se a Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) via formulário eletrônico. Os testes Mann-Whitney e qui-quadrado foram utilizados para analisar respectivamente variáveis contínuas e categóricas. Nas análises para verificar as diferenças nas pontuações dos fatores 1. trabalho em equipe e colaboração (TEC), 2. identidade profissional (IP) e 3. atenção à saúde centrada no paciente (ACP), além da pontuação global da RIPLS, os cursos e ciclos foram comparados por meio do teste Kruskal-Wallis. Resultado: Participaram do estudo 506 estudantes, com taxa de respostas de 32,6%, dos cursos de Enfermagem, Farmácia, Fisioterapia, Fonoaudiologia, Medicina, Nutrição, Odontologia e Terapia Ocupacional de uma universidade pública brasileira. As pontuações dos fatores 1, 2 e 3 e a pontuação global da RIPLS não apresentaram diferenças entre os sexos. Os estudantes do curso de Farmácia apresentaram menor disponibilidade para o fator 3 (ACP) quando comparados com os alunos de Enfermagem, Fisioterapia, Medicina, Odontologia e Terapia Ocupacional (p = 0,007). Os discentes de Fonoaudiologia e Nutrição apresentaram menor pontuação no mesmo fator em comparação com os de Odontologia e Terapia Ocupacional (p = 0,007). Os estudantes de Farmácia (p = 0,004) e Medicina (p = 0,016) foram menos propícios a obter maior pontuação no fator 1 (TEC), enquanto os de Terapia Ocupacional obtiveram maior chance para maior disponibilidade no mesmo fator (p = 0,024). No fator 2 (IP), os estudantes do quinto ciclo foram menos propensos a atitudes positivas (p = 0,046). Observou-se que os estudantes de Terapia Ocupacional apresentaram atitude mais favorável para a EIP expressa tanto no fator 3 (p = 0,034) quanto na pontuação global (p = 0,027), enquanto os alunos do curso de Farmácia apresentaram menor chance para melhor disponibilidade no fator 3 (p = 0,003) e na pontuação global (p = 0,003). Conclusão: Considerando a relevância da EIP no processo de reorientação da formação de profissionais de saúde para a construção da integralidade do cuidado e alinhamento com o Sistema Único de Saúde, este estudo pretende contribuir para a reflexão acerca das diferenças na disponibilidade para EIP entre cursos de graduação na área da saúde.

Abstract: Introduction: Preventing and fighting COVID-19 are of the utmost importance. In this context, the importance of using telemedicine tools has grown, including teleconsultations, epidemiological telemonitoring, remote diagnosis, support, and training of health professionals. Objective: This article aims to report the results of a distance-training course on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. We analyze the course adherence, the students’ profile, pre, and post-test proficiency index and satisfaction with the course. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that evaluated data from the course on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. The data were analyzed in terms of distribution and comparisons of means and frequencies. A paired t-test was used to compare the pre and post-test grades. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Data were collected from the Moodle teaching platform, without identifying the participants. Results: From March 23 to May 14, the course was offered to 1,008 medical students and health care providers. Most were from the state of Minas Gerais, some from other Brazilian states, and Mozambique. The majority completed the course, with an 89.8% adherence. The evaluations related to the course, the tutors, the degree of satisfaction, and the security for the professional performance after the course obtained maximum scores. The comparison between the pre and post grades showed proficiency gain (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The course has contributed to the training of medical students and health professionals from Brazil and Mozambique. The organizing committee was able to prepare students and provide knowledge to professionals with difficulty to access good technical and evidence-based information. After the training, the students were selected to work on university projects aiming at supporting city halls, health departments, and the community.
CAMINHOS E DILEMAS DA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR NA ERA DO DIGITAL
Authors: Magalhães António M.
Published: August 2021

RESUMO A diluição da matriz moderna da educação superior nos atuais contextos socioeconómicos tem vindo a traduzir-se na hegemonia dos discursos de mercado e na centralidade do princípio da performatividade e da relevância económica, desafiando a especificidade das Instituições de Ensino Superior. A integração das tecnologias digitais na educação e na sua governação reforça a gramática política que tem vindo a hegemonizar o campo do Ensino Superior, sendo a crise pandémica um catalisador das mudanças em curso. Pretende-se trazer para a agenda de investigação em educação a questão da especificidade das experiências educativas deste nível de educação e afastar o debate da dicotomia simplista entre a celebração das tecnologias e da digitalização da educação e a tecnofobia.
MESTRES IGNORANTES E PROFESSORES EXPLICADORES EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA E DE CULTURA DIGITAL
Authors: Carvalho José Sérgio Fonseca de , Boto Carlota
Published: August 2021

RESUMO Este artigo versa sobre a relação entre a obra de Rancière e os escritos de Jacotot, sobre os quais a primeira se debruça. Para Jacotot, observa-se que o ato de educar deve ser revestido pelo pressuposto da igualdade, o que constitui antes um postulado político do que uma orientação de caráter pedagógico. O educador inscreve-se em um programa de ação voltado para a criação de cenas de igualdade, mediante uma perspectiva educacional passível de ser fundada em um princípio universalizável. Procurar-se-á cotejar esse debate, não apenas com a literatura pedagógica contemporânea, mas também com a maneira pela qual os próprios contemporâneos interpretaram a experiência de Jacotot.
LOS GRUPOS DE WHATSAPP Y LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE NUEVAS CIUDADANÍAS EN LAS ESCUELAS
Authors: Dussel Inés , Cardona María Guadalupe Fuentes
Published: August 2021

RESUMEN Este artículo aborda los debates sobre las nuevas formas de ciudadanía que emergen con las redes sociales en el espacio educativo, que tienden a horizontalizar los discursos dentro de una organización jerárquica. A partir del análisis de la observación de dos grupos de WhatsApp de docentes en escuelas primarias de Ciudad de México y de entrevistas, se indaga cómo se organiza la participación de los docentes en estos nuevos espacios, prestando atención a los lenguajes, texturas y bordes, y a las interpelaciones, cierres y aperturas propuestas. Los chats aparecen sobre todo como círculos motivaciones y carteleras de mensajes; no parecen canalizar debates político-pedagógicos de relevancia ni ampliar los márgenes de producción de actos digitales que reclamen derechos o cuestionen jerarquías.

São tecidas neste texto algumas reflexões em torno das respostas que têm sido empreendidas pelos setores da saúde, previdência social e assistência social, que compõem a seguridade social no Brasil, tomando-se a sua centralidade, que deveria ser assumida para o enfrentamento da pandemia causada pelo SARS-Cov-2. Com essa leitura de contexto e com o pressuposto de uma ação profissional para a participação social com autonomia, partilham-se experiências de intervenção em Terapia Ocupacional Social com jovens que vivem em periferias urbanas e, certamente, pobres para o mercado/consumo, mas ricos de vida, na pandemia de Covid-19. O intuito foi produzir um cuidado que se coaduna com a proteção social e se direciona, na defesa do valor inegociável de cada vida e do seu pulsar, para a promoção de uma circulação emancipatória, questão agravada, mas anterior à pandemia e sempre presente entre esses jovens.
Prevenção quaternária e medicalização: conceitos inseparáveis
Authors: Tesser Charles Dalcanale , Norman Armando Henrique
Published: August 2021

Prevenção Quaternária (P4) é a ação de identificar pacientes em risco de sobremedicalização, para protegê-los de novas invasões médicas e sugerir-lhes intervenções eticamente aceitáveis. Recentemente, três artigos europeus propuseram uma nova definição: “proteger indivíduos de intervenções mais danosas que benéficas”. O objetivo é discutir criticamente essa proposta. Sete críticas à definição original foram identificadas e analisadas. Cinco são improcedentes: (1) Eticamente vaga; (2) Escopo restrito; (3) Cria etapa desnecessária; (4) Focalização na medicalização; (5) Desmedicalização sem base científica. As remanescentes não justificam uma nova definição: (6) Mudança na representação visual; (7) Foco na Medicina Baseada em Evidências (MBE). A nova proposta reduz o escopo da P4 e o protagonismo do profissional. A definição original é robusta e desafia a evitar a iatrogenia social/cultural decorrente da sobremedicalização, parcialmente inapreensível via MBE.
Climate Politics and the Crisis of the Liberal International Order
Authors: Albuquerque Felipe Leal
Published: August 2021

Abstract The election of Donald Trump brought disarray to the climate change regime. The changes in what was up to then a promoter of the liberal international order (LIO) exacerbated existing tensions while creating new ones. This paper investigates how that challenge impacted the behaviours of Brazil, China and the European Union (EU) by comparatively analysing their dissimilar positions with respect to three indicators before and after Trump’s coming into power. These indicators are individual pledges and climate-related policies; approaches to climate finance; and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC). The analysis first shows how the US started eroding the broader LIO and the climate change regime to then delve into the behaviours of the three respective key players concerning climate talks. I sustain that the EU, despite its inner divisions, is already counteracting Washington, whereas China is combining a pro-status quo position based on a rhetorical condemnation of the United States. Brazil, in turn, had a transition towards a climate-sceptic government, shifting from being a cooperative actor to abdicating hosting the COP25.

Resumo O trabalho discute as investigações acerca das práticas curriculares e pedagógicas do fazer pedagógico em educação física no ensino médio. As discussões teóricas e metodológicas têm assento na Sociologia do corpo, do cotidiano e da juventude. O estudo é qualitativo, etnográfico-descritivo e teve como sujeitos de pesquisa o professor e jovens alunos participantes das aulas de educação física, em uma escola pública estadual, em Cuiabá-MT. Envolveu análise de fontes documentais como Projeto Pedagógico da Escola e Planejamento Anual de Ensino da Educação Física; observações participantes das aulas e do cotidiano da escola; entrevistas semiestruturadas com professor e jovens alunos. A partir do conhecimento de aspectos do universo juvenil, em específico, os marcadores sociais que permeiam as relações e condições materiais, culturais e simbólicas de vida dos participantes se pode refletir a juventude como categoria sociocultural e a relação da escola e a educação física com o contexto de vida dos jovens. Avaliaram-se as ausências e presenças de sentidos das aulas de educação física para reflexão do seu lugar no projeto de formação cultural das juventudes. Sugerem-se possibilidades de práticas pedagógicas que valorizem o ensino das práticas corporais a partir da aproximação com o universo juvenil, o que é necessário para que ocorra a legitimidade e autonomia pedagógica da disciplina no currículo do ensino médio.
Pervivencia de estereotipos de género en las imágenes de los libros de texto de música españoles
Authors: Villodre María del Mar Bernabé , Gil Desirée García , Bello Vladimir Martínez
Published: August 2021

Resumen Los libros de texto musicales, en España, han intentado recoger los cambios legislativos promovidos gubernamentalmente, así como las diferencias en el tratamiento del género, mediante la representación de la mujer como instrumentista. El libro de texto de Música se convierte en una herramienta de difusión de estereotipos que pueden haber perdido vigencia en el mundo musical, pero que no terminan de interiorizarse debido al impacto de la imagen estereotipada publicada. Se han analizado 2.414 imágenes de 47 libros de texto de Música de Educación Primaria de distintas editoriales españolas para la Comunidad Valenciana con el objetivo de mostrar la evolución y presencia de la mujer como instrumentista (de 1992 a 2011). Se recurrió a un análisis de contenido de carácter cuantitativo con el objetivo de determinar los patrones a gran escala de los mensajes transmitidos por las imágenes; y a un análisis cualitativo en el que fueron seleccionadas unas imágenes con base en los resultados del análisis de contenido cuantitativo. Si bien la presencia de la mujer como instrumentista no ha aumentado considerablemente, su representación con instrumentos tradicionalmente masculinos sí ha sufrido un cambio relevante a nivel cualitativo, si se compara con las representaciones masculinas. Así, existe más representación femenina con instrumentos tradicionalmente masculinos; pero, se la sigue representando menos. Todavía queda mucho camino por recorrer para que los libros de texto de educación musical ofrezcan imágenes de instrumentistas que sean respetuosas con la diversidad sexual; de manera que no contribuyan a la perpetuación de estereotipos sexistas.
Concepções de justiça escolar em documentos do PNUD e da UNESCO
Authors: Rezende Maria José de
Published: August 2021

Resumo Ao lerem-se os documentos do PNUD e UNESCO, que compõem o sistema das Nações Unidas, percebem-se modelos prospectivos - sobre justiça, escola justa, justiça escolar – que têm conectividade com uma vasta literatura acadêmica sobre educação e direitos humanos e educação e justiça social. Esta é uma pesquisa documental que busca averiguar de que modo os documentos intitulados Relatórios de Monitoramento da Educação para Todos da UNESCO (REPTs) e Relatórios do Desenvolvimento Humano (RDHs) procuram, no limiar do século XXI, atestar a eficácia da educação e da escola como promotoras da inclusão social, econômica e política dos indivíduos. As suas prescrições são feitas aos Estados, às organizações da sociedade civil e às lideranças políticas comprometidas com uma educação mais justa e democrática. Ressaltou-se, no decorrer da análise, que os diagnósticos e as prescrições, presentes nos respectivos documentos, por visarem a alcançar espaços territoriais e contextos sociais e políticos expressivamente amplos não se atêm, suficientemente, aos processos conflitivos que podem, em condições sociais, políticas e educacionais específicas, impossibilitar a ampliação da justiça, de modo geral, e da justiça escolar, de modo particular. Em razão da diversificada natureza dos prognósticos presentes nesses relatórios, não é possível, aos seus formuladores, atentar para as singularidades das diversas sociedades como um espaço de inúmeros conflitos que tendem a ampliar as dificuldades de avanços substantivos rumo a uma crescente justiça escolar.

Resumo O presente artigo insere-se em um projeto de investigação centrado na problemática da hospitalidade na forma como os alunos agem nos territórios escolares, visibilizada por meio de experiências inóspitas e hospitaleiras vivenciadas por esses atores no decurso das sociabilidades escolares. No quadro desta problemática, pretende-se, em particular, observar como os alunos qualificados como estrangeiros se ligam à escola e, através desses laços, analisar as maneiras como se relacionam com os outros, na figura dos seus pares, em um contexto de transformação na morfologia escolar nas últimas décadas, decorrente do incremento do número de alunos estrangeiros que se matriculam nos ciclos da escolaridade obrigatória em Portugal. Mediante o quadro teórico comumente designado por sociologia pragmática, tenciona-se analisar como alunos se envolvem em diferentes e compostos regimes de ação que visam a fazer o comum no plural nos respectivos estabelecimentos de ensino. Articulam-se, para o efeito, dados de entrevistas semidiretivas e observações etnográficas levadas a cabo em duas escolas públicas do ensino médio português e que têm como traço comum albergarem fortes contingentes de alunos oriundos de contextos de imigração e com diversas nacionalidades. Incidindo o olhar sociológico sobre vários espaços tipificados que compõem o território escolar, é nas exteriorizações por parte desses alunos estrangeiros inquiridos em torno de acontecimentos efervescentes e do modo como habitam a escola que é tratada e evidenciada a problemática do reconhecimento – nomeadamente, as composições do reconhecimento do aluno na sua figura de estrangeiro e as diversas experiências em que esse reconhecimento é ou não experienciado.
Lateral load response of large-diameter monopiles in sand
Authors: Hu Qian , Han Fei , Prezzi Monica , Salgado Rodrigo , Zhao Minghua
Published: August 2021

Due to the increasing demand for renewable clean energy, there has been rapid growth in the development of offshore wind energy resources in recent years. The majority of offshore wind turbines are founded on single, large-diameter, open-ended pipe piles known as monopiles. The design of these piles is often done using the p–y method, which models the soil simply as non-linear springs placed along the pile length and assumes the pile to behave as a one-dimensional beam. To develop a design method that accounts for three-dimensional pile–soil interaction and that is applicable to general conditions, a series of finite-element (FE) analyses covering a wide range of pile dimensions, wall thicknesses, slenderness ratios, load eccentricities, sand types and sand relative densities were performed using an advanced sand constitutive model. In this paper, a set of equations is proposed that can be used to estimate the critical pile length, Lcrit (the pile length beyond which the pile lateral capacity no longer increases), the lateral capacity, H, and the lateral load–rotation curve for monopiles. The proposed method produces estimates of the lateral capacity of monopiles that are in very close agreement with those from the FE analyses.
What Can We Learn from Idiosyncratic Wage Changes?
Authors: Doniger Cynthia L.
Published: August 2021

I document six facts about wage changes. First, most pay revisions occur at yearly frequency, but a small proportion occur at idiosyncratic times. Second, idiosyncratic pay changes are larger and more dispersed than year-end pay changes and resemble more pay changes occurring at job-to-job transitions. Third, idiosyncratic pay changes are more common for workers with less experience and, fourth, in firms higher on the job-ladder. Fifth, industries in which the incidence of idiosyncratic raises have risen have experienced greater declines in labor share. Sixth, industries in which more firms report willingness to negotiate wages have greater concentrations of idiosyncratic revisions. An on-the-job search model with heterogeneous wage contracts can rationalize these facts.
Expansionary Austerity: Reallocating Credit Amid Fiscal Consolidation
Authors: Morais Bernardo , Perez-Estrada Javier , Peydró José-Luis , Ruiz-Ortega Claudia

We study the impact of public debt limits on economic growth exploiting the introduction of a Mexican law capping the debt of subnational governments. Despite larger fiscal consolidation, states with higher ex-ante public debt grew substantially faster after the law, albeit at the expense of increased extreme poverty. Credit registry data suggests that the mechanism behind this result is a reduction in crowding out. After the law, banks operating in more indebted states reallocate credit away from local governments and into private firms. The unwinding of crowding out is stronger for riskier firms, firms borrowing from banks more exposed to local public debt, and for firms operating in states with lower public spending on infrastructure projects.
En la plenitud del tiempo: Reconociendo Daniel 9:24-27 en el Nuevo Testamento
Authors: Tasker David
Published: August 2021

This article explores the influence of the seventy weeks prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 in the New Testament. Of particular interest to this study is the string of references that refer to “the fullness of time.” The author enquires about the significance that the people of the New Testament placed upon these statements, how they were impacted by the vision of Daniel 9:24-27, and how widespread was the understanding of the 70 weeks as weeks of years in the early Christian Church. The paper concludes that the understanding of people in the New Testament era was that “the fullness of time” had arrived, based on the “weeks” of Daniel’s prophecy being counted as years rather than days.
El significado de καρπός en Romanos 1:13 y la misión paulina
Authors: Presser Nicolás , Richter Eric E.
Published: August 2021

Determinar el significado del término καρπός en Romanos 1:13 permite comprender mejor el propósito de la Epístola a los Romanos y las intenciones que el apóstol Pablo tenía al visitar la capital del Imperio Romano. En este artículo se analiza críticamente la propuesta interpretativa de Keith F. Nickle y Michael A. Kruger, según la cual καρπός es una referencia a la colecta para Jerusalén. Para ello se estudia el significado del término καρπός en las cartas paulinas, así como los indicios que Pablo proporciona sobre el propósito de Romanos y los motivos de su viaje a esta ciudad. Finalmente se presenta una breve reflexión acerca de las implicaciones que Romanos 1:13 tiene sobre la comprensión de la misión de la iglesia.

Development of Students’ Value Attitude to Their Own Health in the Process of Physical Education Under Quarantine
Authors: Koryahin Viktor , Blavt Oksana
Published: August 2021

Purpose: identification of the effectiveness of physical education by means of remote technologies for the development of students’ value attitude to their own health in the conditions of quarantine restrictions. Materials and methods. The study involved 3,726 first-year students of the Lviv Polytechnic National University of all educational-and-scientific institutes. Research methods at theoretical and empirical levels were used to solve the tasks. At the theoretical level, general scientific methods were used (analysis, systematization, generalization). At the empirical level of the study, a questionnaire was used. Results. According to a one-year ascertaining experiment, 30% of students consider improving and strengthening of their health as a medical problem that is limited to treatment only. Nevertheless, 70% of respondents believe that it is possible to positively affect their health in the following ways: prevention of diseases by means of physical education (21%), promoting a healthy lifestyle (21%), setting up for “healthy” behavior by means of physical education (24%). When asked whether distanced physical education classes contribute to the development of value attitudes towards their health, the vast majority of students (81% of respondents) claimed that in this way they received new information that they consider useful for maintaining and improving their health. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it was established that physical education by means of distance technologies contributes to the development of students’ understanding of the need for physical culture, especially in the context of the introduction of quarantine restrictions in higher education institutions. According to the results obtained, the vast majority of students believe that physical education, by means of distance technologies is effective in developing a valued attitude to their own health.

Digital image analysis is a widely employed technique to effectively reduce sample processing time and bias. Whole slide imaging and analysis of immunohistochemically stained sample slides allows for rapid cellular quantification and insight into single cell and subcellular data that cannot be acquired by the naked eye. QuPath is an emerging open-source platform for digital pathology that provides as a free, flexible and highly accessible option to investigate histology and cellular infiltration. Despite the introduction of program modules that assist with quantification, research methodologies in the literature are inconsistent and impedes comparison across studies. This protocol offers validated, step-by-step instruction on how to optimize and run parameters using the QuPath Positive Cell Detection module, outlines how to quantitate and assess spatial distribution of cells in the liver lobule structure and presents tips and tricks to easily navigate the QuPath platform. The protocol will act to standardize optimization in QuPath for improved comparison in the literature and serve as a guide for new users.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a gastrointestinal, autoimmune disease that causes ulceration and inflammation of the colon with an incidence 10 out of every 100,000 people in North America and Western Europe. Though the exact etiology is uncertain, a number of studies have shown that inflammatory cells along with environmental factors, genetics, and lifestyle habits can contribute to the sustained inflammatory response. In order to determine the cellular mechanism behind relapse and remission of UC, researchers have frequently employed immunohistochemistry, western blotting and gene sequencing, but these destructive analysis methods require the removal of a sample, necessarily limiting these methods to non-living tissues. There is an emerging interest in using minimally-invasive techniques to study the in vivo, longitudinal effects of UC on the mucosa in the colon. Here we have developed a mouse model of UC using dextran sulfate sodium and a minimally-invasive spectroscopy monitoring modality to study the changes in the tissue hemodynamics during active UC.

De la Antropología de la Sexualidad a la Sociología de la Diversidad
Authors: De la Calle Valverde Jaime
Published: August 2021

La Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) fue la primera universidad española en impartir entre sus enseñanzas regladas una “Antropología de la Sexualidad” desde una perspectiva social y cultural. La andadura comenzó en el curso académico 2003-2004; la asignatura formó parte de los planes de estudio de la nueva Licenciatura de Antropología Social y Cultural adscrita a la Facultad de Filosofía, si bien la asignatura se impartió desde el Departamento de Sociología I de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología. La experiencia ha durado 11 cursos académicos, hasta la implantación definitiva del Plan Bolonia. El Plan Bolonia tuvo efectos diversos; por ejemplo, abrió las negociaciones y los desacuerdos entre facultades y departamentos para repartirse/distribuirse la docencia en diferentes asignaturas. El resultado, en el caso que presentamos, fue la desaparición de la Antropología de la Sexualidad del nuevo Grado en Antropología Social y Cultural y su conversión en una Sociología de la Diversidad en el nuevo Grado en Sociología.
