Moir, GL, Munford, SN, Moroski, LL, Davis, SE. The effects of ballistic and nonballistic bench press on mechanical variables. J Strength Cond Res 32(12): 3333–3339, 2018—The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ballistic and nonballistic bench press performed with loads equivalent to 30 and 90% 1 repetition maximum (1RM) on mechanical variables. Eleven resistance-trained men (age: 23.0 ± 1.4 years; mass: 98.4 ± 14.4 kg) attended 4 testing sessions where they performed one of the following sessions: (a) 3 sets of 5 nonballistic repetitions performed with a load equivalent to 30% 1RM (30N-B), (b) 3 sets of 5 ballistic repetitions performed with a load equivalent to 30% 1RM (30B), (c) 3 sets of 4 nonballistic repetitions with a load equivalent to 90% 1RM (90N-B), or (d) 3 sets of 4 ballistic repetitions with a load equivalent to 90% 1RM (90B). Force plates and a 3-dimensional motion analysis system were used to determine the velocity, force, power output (PO), and work during each repetition. The heavier loads resulted in significantly greater forces applied to the barbell (mean differences: 472–783 N, p < 0.001), but lower barbell velocities (mean differences: 0.85–1.20 m·s−1, p < 0.001) and PO (mean differences: 118–492 W, p ≤ 0.022). The ballistic conditions enhanced the mechanical variables only at the lower load, with 30B producing significantly greater force (mean difference: 263 N, p < 0.001), velocity (mean difference: 0.33 m·s−1, p < 0.001), and PO (mean difference: 335 W, p < 0.001) compared with 30N-B. Furthermore, the increase in PO across the 3 sets in 30B was significantly different from all other conditions (p = 0.013). The total mechanical work performed was significantly greater for the conditions with the heavier loads compared with those with the lighter loads (mean differences: 362–5,600 J, p < 0.001) and that performed during the ballistic conditions was significantly greater than that performed during the nonballistic conditions with the same load (mean differences: 945–1,030 J, p < 0.001). Ballistic bench press may be an effective exercise for developing PO, and multiple sets may elicit postactivation potentiation that enhances force production. However, these benefits may be negated at heavier loads.

In this paper, we present an augmented reality learning system that uses the input of a depth camera to interactively teach anatomy to high school students. The objective is to exemplify human anatomy by displaying 3D models over the body of a person in real time, using the Microsoft Kinect depth camera. The users can see how bones, muscles, or organs are distributed in their bodies without the use of targets for tracking.
Investigating Aquatic Insect Emergence: A Demonstration of the 5E Learning Cycle
Authors: Heinrich Kaleb K. , Robson Kelsey M. , Baxter Colden V.
Published: February 2017

Traditionally, exploration of ecosystems in the context of undergraduate education has been restricted to connections within conventionally defined habitats (i.e., within a stream, within a forest). Further, instruction regarding the aquatic-terrestrial interface has emphasized directional inputs from land to water. However, a relatively new body of research has characterized reciprocal interactions and draws attention to fluxes from water to land, including the emergence of aquatic insects that serve as prey for terrestrial predators. We present a guide to an inquiry-based lesson for undergraduate biology that explores interactions and connections across aquatic and terrestrial habitat boundaries. The focus is on cross-habitat linkages within ecosystems, specifically addressing the question, What is the role of insect emergence in connecting the web of life linking aquatic and terrestrial habitats and organisms? Students (1) engage with a documentary film, (2) explore insect emergence and make observations of riparian insectivores, (3) explain the collected data, (4) elaborate on alternative study designs and a measure of ecosystem health, and (5) evaluate their new understanding. This lesson addresses core concepts and competencies for undergraduate biology education, as identified in the Vision and Change report.

Enhancer of zeste 2 (Ezh2) mainly methylates lysine 27 of histone‐H3 (H3K27me3) as part of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) together with Suz12 and Eed. However, Ezh2 can also modify non‐histone substrates, although it is unclear whether this mechanism has a role during development. Here, we present evidence for a chromatin‐independent role of Ezh2 during T‐cell development and immune homeostasis. T‐cell‐specific depletion of Ezh2 induces a pronounced expansion of natural killer T (NKT) cells, although Ezh2‐deficient T cells maintain normal levels of H3K27me3. In contrast, removal of Suz12 or Eed destabilizes canonical PRC2 function and ablates NKT cell development completely. We further show that Ezh2 directly methylates the NKT cell lineage defining transcription factor PLZF, leading to its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Sustained PLZF expression in Ezh2‐deficient mice is associated with the expansion of a subset of NKT cells that cause immune perturbation. Taken together, we have identified a chromatin‐independent function of Ezh2 that impacts on the development of the immune system.

Authors: Monge Meza Carlos Francisco , Baltodano Román Gabriel
Published: February 2017

El estudio es un análisis del desarrollo de la crítica literaria costarricense, desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad. Para efectuar su periodización se tienen en cuenta aspectos exógenos y endógenos, vasos comunicantes que llevan, a su vez, a la formulación de cuatro etapas, organizadas por factores socioculturales y de índole propiamente literaria: a una etapa fundacional, la siguen una exploratoria, otra asociada a la academia universitaria y la contemporánea. Cada una se asocia a una ideología (proyecto de nación) y a un proyecto estético (la idea de literatura).This study is an analysis of the development of literary criticism in Costa Rica, from its origin to the present time. To define the distinct periods, both extraliterary and intraliterary aspects were taken into account. These communicating vessels, in turn, lead to the formulation of four stages, due to sociocultural and literary factors: a founding stage, an exploratory stage, one related to academe, and a contemporary stage, each of which is associated with an ideology (how the nation is conceived) and an esthetic proposal (how literature is conceived).

Authors: Camacho Guzmán Gustavo
Published: February 2017

Se lleva a cabo un análisis del modo de entender la literatura misma en los cuentos «Fotos», «Dentista» y «Encuentro con Enrique Lihn», de Roberto Bolaño. Los tres muestran una representación de los siguientes componentes del fenómeno literario: el escritor (concebido como un ser desgraciado, pobre y sufriente), el lector (persona que sufre al leer), el texto (especie de verdugo que influye sobre el lector de forma negativa) y el proceso de la lectura (un acto condenatorio).An analysis is carried out on how literature itself is conceived in the stories “Fotos,” “Dentista,” and “Encuentro con Enrique Lihn,” by Roberto Bolaño. These three texts offer a representation of the following components of the literary phenomenon: the writer (conceived as a miserable, poor, and suffering being), the reader (someone who suffers when reading), the text (a kind of executioner influencing the reader negatively), and the reading process (a condemning act).
HERMENEUTINĖ TEKSTO INTERPRETACIJA. ATVEJO ANALIZĖ
Authors: Abromavičiūtė Kristina , Kaminskienė Ligija
Published: February 2017

Šio straipsnio dėmesio centre – hermeneutinė vertimo teorija ir jos taikymo aspektai. Hermeneutinė vertimo teorija išsivystė, kaip atskleidžiama darbe, iš pažinimo, t. y. hermeneutinės, filosofijos krypties, ypač iš Hanso Georgo Gadamerio (1900–2002) pažinimo interpretacijos, ir buvo pritaikyta vertimui kaip specifinei pažinimo sričiai. Vokietijos hermeneutinės vertimo teorijos mokykla, išaugusi šalia funkcionalizmo krypties, ir jos ryškiausi atstovai – Hansas Georgas Gadameris (2006), Fritzas Paepcke (1986), Radegundis Stolze (1992, 2003, 2011), Sigrida Kupsch-Losereit (2008) – suformulavo teorinę nuostatą, kad vertimas yra visų pirma pažinimas ir supratimas, taip pat interpretacija. Kadangi vertimas – tai teksto ir jo reprezentuojamos kultūros interpretacija, taigi ir socialinė paslauga, kurios užduotis – sėkmingas bendravimas tarp kultūrų, o ne lingvistinis žinios ar fakto perdavimas. Laikantis tokios nuostatos, itin didelę reikšmę įgyja vertėjo interpretacinis teksto supratimas, hermeneutinio pažinimo nulemtas vertėjo santykis su tekstu. Šiame darbe atlikta teisinių tekstų analize siekiama tai patvirtinti ir atskleisti. Straipsnyje remiamasi R. Stolze aptariamais kalbos specialiesiems tikslams (dalykinės kalbos) interpretacijos aspektais, be to, jie sujungiami su funkcionalizmo atstovės Christiane’s Nord (2005) išskirtais ekstratekstiniais veiksniais, pagal kuriuos mokslininkė siūlo analizuoti visus tekstus, nepriklausomai nuo žanro, mokslo srities ir kt. – tai leidžia pailiustruoti, kaip sąveikaujant dviem teorijoms atsiskleidžia vertėjo pasirengimas versti tekstą dar nė nepradėjus tradiciškai suvokiamo vertimo darbo – kodų kaitos.

Prezidentų retorika tiriama jau ne vieną dešimtmetį ir pastaraisiais metais sulaukia didesnio kalbininkų, politologų ir kitų sričių mokslininkų dėmesio. Jie, remdamiesi lingvistiniu ir (arba) politologiniu požiūriais, atlieka politikų kalbų analizę, siekdami nustatyti kalbų raktažodžius, įvairių leksinių vienetų savybes bei ypatumus ir kt. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos dviejų prezidentų – Dalios Grybauskaitės ir Baracko Obamos – inauguracinės kalbos ir metiniai pranešimai, daugiausia dėmesio skiriant prezidentų kalboms ir jų kalbų raktažodžiams, nustatytiems naudojantis programinių priemonių paketu WordSmith Tools. Remiantis nustatytais kalbų raktažodžiais ir palyginus prezidentų inauguracines kalbas ir metinius pranešimus, straipsnyje pristatomi dviejų prezidentų kalbų ir retorikos ypatumai. Siekiant šio tikslo buvo taikomi kalbų kiekybinės, kokybinės (kalbų turinio) ir lyginamosios analizės metodai.
DIALOGO SU GIMTĄJA KULTŪRA DINAMIKA LITERATŪRINĖJE KŪRYBOJE IR VERTIME TARPKULTŪRINĖS KOMUNIKACIJOS SĄLYGOMIS
Authors: Smirnova Tatjana
Published: February 2017

Šio straipsnio tikslas – išnagrinėti gimtosios kalbos vaidmenį vokiškai rašančių negimtakalbių literatų darbuose. Kadangi visuotinai priimta nuomonė, kad literatūros kūriniai turėtų būti rašomi tik gimtąja kalba (šiuo konkrečiu atveju – vokiečių), straipsnyje teigiama, kad kitokią socialinę ir kalbinę patirtį turintys autoriai gali praturtinti vokiečių kalba rašomą literatūrą ne tik stilistiškai ir turinio atžvilgiu, bet ir plačiai atsiveriančiais emociniais ir asociatyviniais tarpkultūrinės patirties horizontais. Tokias išvadas straipsnio autorė grindžia Kundyto Şurdumo ir Vladimiro Vertlibo kūrybos ir vertimų analize. Straipsnyje teigiama, kad šių autorių tarpkultūrinės dinamikos formos randasi iš minties ir kalbos dialogo su savo gimtąja kultūra, aptariamas kitakalbės kultūrinės aplinkos poveikis daugiakalbei literatūrinei kūrybai ir vertimui.

Published: February 2017

Introduction: Lip and oral cavity cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in Asia and considered to be a major public health problem due to the low survival rate. Because of the importance of access to information about this cancer (including incidence, mortality rate and relation to socioeconomic indicators), this study aims at investigating the incidence and mortality of lip and oral cavity cancer and its relationship with the Human Development Index (HDI) of Asia (from 2012).

Method: This study was an ecological study in Asia for assessment of the correlation between age-specific incidence rate (ASIR) and age-specific mortality rate (ASMR) with the HDI and its components which include: life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling and gross national income (GNI) per capita. Data on the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for every Asian country for the year 2012 were obtained from the global cancer project and data on the HDI and its components were extracted from the World bank site. 

We used a bivariate method for assessment of the correlation between the SIR and SMR with the HDI and its individual components. Statistical significance was assumed if P<0.05. All reported P-values were two-sided. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS (Version 15.0, SPSS Inc.).

Results: A total incidence of 162,506 cases and 95,005 deaths were recorded in Asian countries in 2012. Countries with the highest SIR (per 100,000) were the following: Maldives (11), Sri Lanka (10.3), Pakistan (9.8), Bangladesh (9.4), and India (7.2). The highest SMR was observed in the following countries: Pakistan (5.9), Bangladesh (5.6), Afghanistan (5.1), India (4.9), and Maldives (4.1). The correlation between SIR of lip and oral cavity cancer and HDI was -0.378 (p=0.010), with life expectancy at birth at -0.324 (p=0.028), mean years of schooling at -0.283 (p=0.057), and level of income per each person of the population at -0.279 (p=0.060). Moreover, the correlation was -0.664 (p≤0.001) between SMR and HDI.

Conclusion: A significant reverse correlation was seen between the incidence and mortality rate of lip and oral cavity cancer and the HDI in Asia. The incidence and mortality of this type of cancer was high in developing or less developed countries.

Emergencia de bienestar en enfermedades crónicas: una aproximación conceptual
Authors: Garzón de Laverde Dora Isabel
Published: February 2017

Se parte de una reflexión sobre el concepto de bienestar, asumido desde diferentes dominios del conocimiento para articularlo con su emergencia en enfermedades crónicas. Este artículo en principio, recoge perspectivas epistemológicas y disciplinares relacionadas con el bienestar y con diversas comprensiones sobre el proceso de salud-enfermedad, para avanzar luego en la articulación propuesta de comprender y aportar a la emergencia de bienestar en la relación de las personas en situación de enfermedad crónica, sus familias y profesionales del contexto de salud. La tarea consiste en desbordar predicciones y determinismos que definen la enfermedad y su intervención desde el modelo biomédico, y convocar interlocuciones de profesionales de diversos campos disciplinares con las personas en situación de enfermedad y sus familias, donde la experiencia de enfermedad y bienestar sea una emergencia que construyen conjuntamente y que les beneficia en un ejercicio colaborativo y de corresponsabilidad. Se espera aportar a la compresión y abordaje de situaciones de salud-enfermedad con los actores involucrados directamente en estos procesos; se busca igualmente contribuir a la generación de los marcos de políticas y a la sociedad en su relación con el sistema de salud, para cumplir con el propósito de construir bienestar para todos los seres humanos.

Exposure to Community Violence as a New Adverse Childhood Experience Category: Promising Results and Future Considerations
Authors: Lee Eunju , Larkin Heather , Esaki Nina
Published: February 2017

Research links high youth exposure to community violence (ECV) with negative health consequences, and the World Health Organization recommends ECV as a new adverse childhood experience (ACE) category. The current study is among the first to include ECV within the ACE categories, examining ACEs and behavioral health (BH) service usage, using a population-based adult sample. Results reveal ECV and ACE associations in the expected direction. Respondents reporting ECV before age 18 had higher ACE scores than those without ECV. Results demonstrate ECV's predictive power for later BH needs and confirm its utility as a new ACE category. Practice implications include attention to ECV among adult populations and mitigating long-term costs through early intervention and prevention.

Published: February 2017

A statewide community-based participatory evaluation and a National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) organizational health assessment provided context for selection of new philosophy and practice models by the Missouri Children's Division. Amid the hope and inspiration generated by these changes, program installation steps unfolded nearly simultaneously with initial implementation in the Kansas City area transformation zone. Policy-to-practice and practice-to-policy feedback loops in the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Social Work's NCWWI university partnership grant identified implementation challenges and supported development of tools for improved implementation.
Strategies for Developing Intermediary Organizations: Considerations for Practice
Authors: Franks Robert P. , Bory Christopher T.
Published: February 2017

While an increasing number of evidence-based practices and programs have been developed over the past two decades, there remains a significant gap between research and practice. Intermediary organizations help bridge this research–practice gap through various roles and functions. Intermediaries provide support to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based practices and build capacity to sustain such practices with fidelity. However, there is little guidance as to how to develop an intermediary organization and what strategies and contextual factors should be considered. The purpose of this article is to identify contextual factors that may impact the development of intermediary organizations and to recommend strategies for building the necessary capacities and competencies that correspond to the intermediary's identified roles and functions.

The aim of this study is to predict the unsaturated shear strength of two locally expansive clays available in Saudi Arabia over a wide range of suction. A variety of prediction models categorised as semi-empirical or micromechanical were considered to examine their viability to estimate unsaturated shear strength of these clays over a wide range of suction. Soil water characteristic curves and effective shear strength parameters for both expansive clays were evaluated to serve as input for the prediction of unsaturated shear strength functions (USSFs). To verify the predicted USSF, data for unsaturated shear strength as a function of matric suction were generated from a series of unconfined compression strength (UCS) test specimens with different moisture (suction) levels. Comparison between experimental data and predicted USSF revealed that there is great discrepancy between predicted and experimental data; especially in the high-suction range; this was attributed to the emergence of desiccation cracks during drying. As an alternative approach, function fitting models were used and their viability was discussed.
Investigation into factors affecting jacking force: a case study

Published: February 2017

This study investigates the influencing factors affecting jacking loads during slurry pipe-jacking works at four drives in the Shulin district sewer network in Taipei County, Taiwan, with lengths between 73 and 126 m. The main factors affecting jacking loads during tunnelling may include: (a) overcut annulus and volume of injected lubricant; (b) work stoppages; (c) geology; and (d) misalignment. In the four pipe-jacking drives, the jacking forces are represented using the baseline technique. Results show that local variations (increasing or decreasing) of jacking force are ascribed to the varying face resistance due to driving between coarse soil and fine soil governed sand or gravel deposit or driving into and away from a buried wooden log. The increase in jacking loads could also be due to increasing friction resistance resulting from the pipe deviation being greater than a threshold value of 60 mm. Excessive injected volumes of lubricant result in very low pipe frictions incurred during pipe-jacking of the four drives and are reflected through the back-analysed μavg values, which vary from 0·02 to 0·09. Jacking load increases due to either overnight stoppages or short breaks are more pronounced in poorly graded gravel or sand deposit than in clayey gravel or clayey sand deposit.

The response of sand stabilised with colloidal silica aqueous gel is examined in the laboratory, under direct shear, triaxial and normal compression loading, in comparison to that of untreated sand of similar density to evaluate the effect of stabilisation on subsequent sand response. The behaviour of the treated sand differs in important respects from the behaviour of the untreated sand: a significant increase in the angle of shearing resistance is observed at lower stress levels, diminishing with increasing stress level; the peak strength envelope is curved at low stresses for the treated sand only, while at ultimate strength, the envelopes coincide for treated and untreated sands. However, at all stress levels, extreme dilation is associated with the treated sand at peak and ultimate strength conditions. Under normal compression, the treated sand is easily densified, exhibiting higher compressibility than that of sand of similar density. It appears that depending on loading conditions, the aqueous gel alters its structure and has the capacity to absorb or discharge free water; it is of paramount importance to measure volume change and/or pore water pressure change during stabilised sand testing.

Published: February 2017

Only around a third of waste glass is used in the production of new glass products, so alternative applications are needed to deal with the huge amount remaining. At the same time there is a growing pressure to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production, and use of recycled and secondary aggregates offers one of the best solutions. Deformation properties, in the form of elastic, creep and shrinkage strains of concrete made with glass cullet as fine aggregate are examined. The modulus of elasticity of concrete is increased by 10·5% when glass cullet fine aggregate of a similar grading to natural fine aggregate is used. Its inclusion in concrete does not change the relationship between strength and modulus of elasticity. The creep of glass cullet fine aggregate concrete is suggested to be similar to that of natural fine aggregate concrete. The shrinkage of concrete decreases at a decreasing rate with increasing glass cullet fine aggregate content, giving 16% reduction at 100% replacement of natural fine aggregate. The restraint effect provided by glass cullet fine aggregate in concrete can be affected by the strength of the concrete and the water absorption of the fine aggregate used. The estimations of deformation of concrete containing glass cullet fine aggregate using Eurocode and ACI models are also described.
Geochemistry of Late Triassic weak Peraluminous A-Type Karimun Granite, Karimun Regency, Riau Islands Province
Authors: Irzon Ronaldo
Published: February 2017

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.4.1.21-37Karimun is an island with various geological deposits: tin, granite, sand, and others. The tin deposit in Karimun is related to the granitoid tin belt which extends from Myanmar to western Indonesia. Late Triassic Karimun Granite is composed of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite, and/or muscovite with small amounts of accessory minerals. The granitoid unit is different with other felsic intrusive rocks in Malay Peninsular because of its A-type affinity although it is classified as part of the Tin Islands. All eight samples can be classified as altered rocks since the occurrence of secondary chlorite was identifed both macroscopically and microscopically. Petrography was used to describe the minerals that form the samples, whereas XRF and ICP-MS were used to study Karimun Granite from the geochemical point of view. Harker diagrams confirm that the granites show similarity to other granite units in Malaysia except for CaO. Whalen diagrams indicate the granite as A-type as well as the SiO2, REE, and LILE amounts. REE content in the weak peraluminous granitoid ranges from 183 to 3,296 ppm with Eu and Ce show negative anomalies in the REE spider diagram. Negative anomalies of Eu, Ba, Sr, P, and Ti in normalized spider plot also conclude that the studied granitoid indicates A-type.
Landslide Vulnerability Assessment (LVAs): A Case Study from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia

Published: February 2017

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.4.1.49-59The topic on Landslide Vulnerability Assessment (LVAs) in Malaysia is relatively new and received little attention from geoscientists and engineers. This research paper tries to formulate the concept of LVAs by taking into account the science and socio-economic aspects. A new approach in vulnerability concept is also introduced herein. To achieve this goal, a framework was designed for assessing the LVAs. The framework was formulated semiquantitatively through the development of database for the risk elements (human and properties) based on information from secondary data (technical reports), extensive review of literature, and field observations. The vulnerability parameters included in assessing LVAs are 1) physical implication (building structures, internal materials, property damage, infrastructural facilities, and stabilization actions), 2) social status (injury, fatalities, safety, loss of accommodation, and public awareness), and 3) interference on environment (affected period, daily operation, and diversity). Each considered parameter in the vulnerability assessment is allocated with a certain index value ranges from 0 (0 % damage/victims/period), 0.25 (1 - 25% damage/victims/period), 0.50 (26 - 50% damage/victims/period), 0.75 (51 - 75% damage/victims/period), and 1.00 (75 - 100% damage/victims/period). All of these parameters are compiled and analyzed with “Landslide Distribution Map” (LDM) to generate a “Landslide Vulnerability Degree map (LVD)”. The LDM was produced based on field studies and satellite image interpretations in order to locate the landslide locations in the studied area. Finally, three types of physical, human, and environment vulnerabilities were then classified into five classes of vulnerabilities, namely: Class 1 (< 0.20): Very Low Vulnerability; Class 2 (0.21 - 0.40): Low Vulnerability; Class 3 (0.41 - 0.60): Medium Vulnerability; Class 4 (0.61 - 0.80): High Vulnerability); and Class 5 (> 0.81): Very High Vulnerability. Results from this study indicate that a further study is needed to the areas of high to very high vulnerability only. This LVAs approach is suitable as a guideline for preliminary development planning, controlling, and managing the landslide hazard /risk in the studied area and potentially to be extended with different background environments.
O ENSINO DA HISTÓRIA E DA CULTURA AFRO-BRASILEIRA E O DISCURSO IN/EXCLUSIVO DA DIVERSIDADE
Authors: Da rosa Camila Francisca , Da Silva Mozart Linhares
Published: February 2017

O presente artigo objetiva analisar as legislações que orientam o ensino da História e da Cultura Afro-brasileira no Brasil a partir de um discurso que se restringe à perspectiva da diversidade e anula as problematizações em torno do conceito de diferença. Através das teorizações foucaultianas especialmente a governamentalidade biopolítica, problematizamos as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Africana no qual o enunciado da diversidade está imbricado numa lógica de in/exclusão étnico-racial que regula e potencializa um currículo que produz sujeitos subjetivados a uma política multiculturalista de tolerância às identidades e à alteridade.

Published: February 2017

Os Arranjos Produtivos Locais (APLs) tem sido nos últimos anos tema de políticas públicas no Brasil e em diferentes Estados da federação. Algumas referências apresentam as origens do conceito de APL e sua aplicabilidade em diferentes segmentos produtivos da economia. A necessidade de maiores estudos sobre a maneira como está sendo planejado o desenvolvimento de Arranjos Produtivos Locais parece ser importante. Nesse sentido o propósito deste artigo é analisar o Termo de Referência para o Plano de Desenvolvimento de Arranjos Produtivos Locais (APLs) no Rio Grande do Sul com as diretrizes do Planejamento Estratégico Situacional (PES). Na base teórica são abordados os direcionadores para elaboração do plano de desenvolvimento dos Arranjos Produtivos Locais no Rio Grande do Sul e o conceito de Planejamento Estratégico Situacional. A pesquisa é caracterizada como uma pesquisa explicativa e qualitativa, baseada no método bibliográfico. A interpretação dos dados baseou-se numa análise da literatura, a partir de fontes secundárias coletadas em bibliotecas, repositórios e bases de dados acadêmicas disponibilizadas. A partir das relações e discussões teóricas sugere-se que o atual instrumento de referência para elaboração de plano de desenvolvimento de arranjo produtivo local do Rio Grande do Sul possa agregar o próprio conceito de “arranjo produtivo local” diferenciando dos conceitos de “cadeias produtivas” e adequar seus termos conceituais de acordo com o Planejamento Estratégico Situacional – PES.

A nova dinâmica das relações campo x cidade em Macaé: o exemplo da Comunidade Serra da Cruz
Authors: Zampier Bonin Nelson Jose
Published: February 2017

Resumo

Em face da constante complexidade das transformações socioespaciais, surgem interpretações no meio científico, que buscam analisar as reflexões entre cidade e campo. As atividades humanas estão modificando constantemente o espaço, e as mudanças ocorridas no campo despertam interesse de diversos pesquisadores, que podem seguir diferentes linhas de pesquisa. Este artigo trás uma contribuição ao debate sobre a questão cidade – campo e urbano – rural, contribuindo para aprofundar a reflexão sobre essa problemática. O exemplo da comunidade rural de Serra da Cruz, localizada no distrito de Glicério ( Macaé – RJ ), reflete a intensificação das implicações da atividade petrolífera no município, que amplia seu espaço urbano e torna mais dinâmico o rural. Apesar da pecuária de corte ser forte, o espaço agrícola municipal vem diminuindo, mas sobrevive e diversifica-se através da pluriatividade, do turismo, etc. O trabalho tenta exemplificar como as urbanidades entram na comunidade rural, modificando-a, mas não destruindo-a.

Published: February 2017

O seguinte trabalho apresenta a dinâmica e a evolução dos sistemas agrários ao norte do departamento "La Libertad" em El Salvador. O mesmo baseia-se na teoria dos sistemas agrários, na versão francesa de Mazoyer y Roudart (1997 e 2010). Foram identificados quatro sistemas agrários: Indígena, colonial, cafetaleiro e liberal. No final do trabalho evidenciam-se as relações entre à agricultura e a acumulação de riqueza tanto em El Salvador como no norte do departamento La Libertad. Da mesma forma, é destacado como parte da indústria e do comercio possuem uma origem agrícola, particularmente derivada da acumulação de riqueza arrecadada nessa área. Finalmente, são discutidos alguns elementos que poderiam gerar uma crise no atual sistema agrário liberal.
