Tofacitinib is a modern solution to the problem of resistant rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Menshikova I. V. , Strogonova V. V.
Published: May 2019

Objective: to analyze the efficacy of tofacitinib (TOFA) in patients with an advanced stage of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and previous methotrexate (MTX) failure according to comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination.

Patients and methods. Nineteen patients (11 women and 8 men aged 29 to 71 years (mean age 53.47±10.53 years)) with a reliable diagnosis of RA according to the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria were followed up. Due to a high disease activity (DAS28 averaged 5.84±0.89), the patients were prescribed TOFA 10 mg/day taken for 12 months. The disease activity indicators were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after the start of the study.

Results and discussion. The effect of TOFA developed quite quickly: at 3 months of therapy, there were positive clinical, laboratory, and instrumental changes in most patients; 5 (26.3%) patients achieved the goal of treatment. At 12 months of therapy, 8 patients achieved DAS28 remission and 3 patients had a low disease activity; moderate RA activity persisted in 7 patients; and a high disease activity was seen in 1 patient; these SDAI activity indicators were observed in 2, 8, 7, and 2 patients, respectively. According to the ACR criteria, 20, 50, and 70% improvements were achieved by 8, 6, and 3 patients, respectively. No serious adverse reactions were recorded. The findings confirm the good efficacy and safety of TOFA in the treatment of patients with an advanced stage of RA.

Conclusion. The innovative mechanism of TOFA allows a significant number of patients, in whom MTX therapy was not effective enough, to achieve the goal of treatment.

Authors: Alekberova Z. S. , Lisitsyna T. A. , Goloeva R. G. , Davydova G. A.
Published: May 2019

Objective: to compare the frequency of clinical manifestations of Behcet's disease (BD) in patients of both sexes in a Russian cohort.

Patients and methods. Examinations were made in 425 patients (285 men and 140 women; mean age, 33.2±10.2 years; median duration of BD, 134.3 [60.0; 192.0] months (about 11 years) with a reliable diagnosis of the disease. 208 (48.9%) patients were ethnic residents of the North Caucasus. The activity of BD was assessed using the BD Current Activity Form; the disease severity was evaluated according to the classification proposed by Ch. Zouboulis.

Results and discussion. In men with BD in the Russian cohort, the activity and severity of the disease were significantly higher and the HLA-B5(51)- antigen was more common. There was an association of male sex with thromboses in the deep cerebral veins and cerebral sinuses, damage to the eyes and skin (pseudopustulosis and pseudofolliculitis), genital ulcers, and a positive pathergy test. The findings are consistent with the results of studies of other patient cohorts: Iranian, German, Turkish ones, in which the men were more frequently detected to have damage to the vessels, skin and eyes.

Conclusion. In the Russian patient cohort, the male sex is associated with high BD activity, severe organ damages, and HLA-B5(51)-antigen positivity, which is the basis for prescribing immunosuppressive therapy in men with early-stage BD.
An Empirical Study on the Relationship Between Chinese Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Identity and Teacher Autonomy
Authors: Qian Lina , Huang Haiquan
Published: May 2019

Teacher identity formation provides a direction for the development of autonomy (Huang & Benson, 2013). However, the process of identity formation is complex and how this process influences teacher autonomy has not been sufficiently studied. To contribute to knowledge in this field, the present study investigated the relationship between teachers’ attitudes toward teacher identity and teacher autonomy. We first observed 14 Chinese College English teachers’ classroom teaching. Following that, we conducted stimulated recall interviews with all the teachers to pinpoint their autonomous practices. Finally, we conducted semi-structured interviews to investigate these teachers’ attitudes toward their identities. One of the main findings was that the teachers who held a positive attitude toward their professional identity were more autonomous in their teaching practices than those with a negative attitude. The findings invite us to conclude that teachers’ attitudes toward their professional identity are positively associated with teacher autonomy.
Factors Related to EFL/ESL Learners’ Reading Strategy Use: A Literature Review
Authors: Lin Jia
Published: May 2019

This paper systematically reviews factors related to the use of reading strategies among college-level learners of English as a foreign/second language (EFL/ESL). The author examines empirical studies published from 2000 to 2017 in order to answer two research questions: (a) What factors relate to the college-level EFL/ESL learners’ use of reading strategies? (b) How do these factors relate to college-level EFL/ESL learners’ use of reading strategies? An initial review of the literature identifies four factors related to EFL/ESL learners’ reading strategy use: English proficiency, first language (L1) literacy experience, gender, and motivation. For reasons of space, this article only reports and discusses findings on the first two factors. (1) English proficiency: High-proficiency readers use more metacognitive, support, global, and problem-solving strategies and have more metacognitive knowledge of strategy use than low-proficiency readers. They also differ from low-proficiency readers in learning reading strategies. (2) L1 literacy experience: EFL/ESL readers’ L1 linguistic features and L1 reading experience shape their strategy use when they read English.
Drugs as part of the psychedelic trance dance party
Authors: Kajanová Alena , Mrhálek Tomáš
Published: May 2019

The aim of our paper is to analyze the position the psychedelic trance subculture takes on drug use and whether it applies to prescriptive regulatory systems on drug-taking. A qualitative field research strategy was adopted with the use of semi-structured interviews and participant observations. Actors at three levels of participation in the subculture (experts, long-term participants and newcomers to psychedelic trance parties) were interviewed. The results showed that the subculture distinguishes between tolerated and non-tolerated drugs. This distinction is different from the mainstream paradigm. The subculture also has unwritten rules relating to the behavior expected of an intoxicatedperson. However, there is only limited potential for the subculture to enforce these standards and recognition that this represents a threat. Psychedelic trance stands out from other dance scenes in the use of specific drugs—hallucinogens—that dominate and inform its culture.
Perceived Training Needs of Maritime Doctors and General Practitioners
Authors: Jensen Olaf C. , Charalambous George , Andrioti Debbie
Published: May 2019

Introduction: Medical practitioners provide pre-employment examinations and periodic health examinations to seafarers, fishermen, offshore employees, and maritime students to ensure that they are fit for work. So far, very little is known about doctors’ perceptions of their professional training needs and expectations. The objective of this study was to gain insight on (a) the breadth of services offered, (b) follow-up practices, and (c) perceived training needs on aspects of maritime medicine. Methods: All maritime doctors (110) recognized by the Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) and 100 general practitioners (GPs) were invited to participate. A questionnaire was sent out electronically to gather information on the demographics, breadth of services, follow-up practices, and perceived training needs of the participants. Descriptive statistics described the characteristics of the 2 groups. Results: The training priorities of maritime doctors were rules and regulations (68.7%) followed by working conditions and health risks aboard ship (62.8%). The self-rated training priorities of the GPs were working conditions and health risks aboard ship (44.1%), occupational disease diagnostics, prevention, and follow-up (41.1%), and health and safety at work (38.2%). Conclusion: Members of both medical disciplines were in favor of flexible and accredited training. More specifically, GPs considered a course in occupational risks, diseases, and follow up targeting high-risk professions very important. Maritime doctors suggested the establishment of a website as a one-stop shop for relevant guidelines and information. The small size of the GPs sample prevented a more in-depth gap analysis; however, the results could be used to help the respective authorities establish relevant training programs.
Properties of Individual Hippocampal Synapses Influencing NMDA-Receptor Activation by Spontaneous Neurotransmission
Authors: Metzbower Sarah R. , Joo Yuyoung , Benavides David R. , Blanpied Thomas A.
Published: May 2019

NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activation is critical for maintenance and modification of synapse strength. Specifically, NMDAR activation by spontaneous glutamate release has been shown to mediate some forms of synaptic plasticity as well as synaptic development. Interestingly, there is evidence that within individual synapses each release mode may be segregated such that postsynaptically there are distinct pools of responsive receptors. To examine potential regulators of NMDAR activation because of spontaneous glutamate release in cultured hippocampal neurons, we used GCaMP6f imaging at single synapses in concert with confocal and super-resolution imaging. Using these single-spine approaches, we found that Ca2+entry activated by spontaneous release tends to be carried by GluN2B-NMDARs. Additionally, the amount of NMDAR activation varies greatly both between synapses and within synapses, and is unrelated to spine and synapse size, but does correlate loosely with synapse distance from the soma. Despite the critical role of spontaneous activation of NMDARs in maintaining synaptic function, their activation seems to be controlled factors other than synapse size or synapse distance from the soma. It is most likely that NMDAR activation by spontaneous release influenced variability in subsynaptic receptor position, release site position, vesicle content, and channel properties. Therefore, spontaneous activation of NMDARs appears to be regulated distinctly from other receptor types, notably AMPARs, within individual synapses.
Glinka’s Three Symphonic Acorns
Authors: Zikanov Kirill
Published: May 2019

This article challenges the privileged position that Glinka’s Kamarinskaia (1848) has assumed in accounts of Russian instrumental music. The first half of the article investigates nineteenth-century reception of Glinka’s orchestral works and demonstrates that his Jota Aragonese (1845) and Memory of a Summer Night in Madrid (1851) were just as popular as Kamarinskaia among Russian audiences of the time. It also traces the persistent references that critics such as Vladimir Stasov and Alexander Serov made to the organic qualities of all three of these orchestral fantasias. Although the variational techniques that Glinka employs in the fantasias have commonly been viewed as the very opposite of organic, Stasov and Serov appear to have been relying on a different theorization of musical organicism, namely that of Adolf Bernhard Marx. A Marxian framework helps to explain the popularity of Jota and Madrid alongside Kamarinskaia in nineteenth-century Russia, and it also provides an entry point for closer analytical investigations of the three fantasias. These analyses, comprising the second half of the article, illustrate certain distinguishing features of each fantasia as noted by nineteenth-century musicians and suggest that the fantasias represent highly divergent approaches to orchestral composition. Given the prominence of all three fantasias in nineteenth-century Russia, an awareness of these contrasting approaches allows for a more nuanced understanding of the compositional choices made by subsequent generations of Russian composers.
Thyroid hormone signaling and consequences for cardiac development
Authors: Chattergoon Natasha N
Published: May 2019

The fetal heart undergoes its own growth and maturation stages all while supplying blood and nutrients to the growing fetus and its organs. Immature contractile cardiomyocytes proliferate to rapidly increase and establish cardiomyocyte endowment in the perinatal period. Maturational changes in cellular maturation, size and biochemical capabilities occur, and require, a changing hormonal environment as the fetus prepares itself for the transition to extrauterine life. Thyroid hormone has long been known to be important for neuronal development, but also for fetal size and survival. Fetal circulating 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) levels surge near term in mammals and are responsible for maturation of several organ systems, including the heart. Growth factors like insulin-like growth factor-1 stimulate proliferation of fetal cardiomyocytes, while thyroid hormone has been shown to inhibit proliferation and drive maturation of the cells. Several cell signaling pathways appear to be involved in this complicated and coordinated process. The aim of this review was to discuss the foundational studies of thyroid hormone physiology and the mechanisms responsible for its actions as we speculate on potential fetal programming effects for cardiovascular health.

YAKIV ORENSTEIN: AN EXPATRIATED UKRAINOPHIL FROM GALICIA
Authors: MONOLATII IVAN
Published: May 2019

Ukrainian-Jewish relations in Galicia between the two World Wars were the reflection of the difference in the status of the two nations. The sides failed to come to mutual understanding, the basis for which was provided by the policy of the West Ukrainian People’s Republic / the Western Oblast of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. Taking into account the involvement of the third party, the Polish state, the situation can be described as an interethnic scalene triangle. One of the active figures in this complicated interaction was Yakiv Orenstein (1875–1942), Jewish publisher from Kolomyia, symbolic ‘Ukrainian’, follower of the faith of Moses. His life and work in Galicia in the interwar years is a personalized example of publicly declared pro-Polishness and actual Ukrainophilia.
THE RUTHENIAN COURTS OF THE RURIK DYNASTY PRINCESSES IN THE LANDS OF THE PIAST DYNASTY IN THE 11TH CENTURY: THE ATTEMPT OF THE SEARCHING AND RECONSTRUCTION
Authors: VOLOSHCHUK MYROSLAV
Published: May 2019

The gradual Christianization of the major dynasties of so-called ‘Younger Europe’ resulted, among other things, in the activization of their matrimonial policy. Throughout Middle Ages, the most active in this regard were the Rurik and the Piast dynasties. The tradition of bilateral marriage relations among the ruling houses of Europe was established in the early 11th century and uninterruptedly continued into the mid-14th century. In the 11th century, there were registered 7 princely marriages; four of them, in Poland – three Ruthenian brides were given in marriage to the representatives of the Piast dynasty; besides, there was one case of concubinage. Two of the marriages were fertile: altogether, six children were born (five boys and a girl). One marriage proved to be infertile. On her way to her husband’s land, each Ruthenian bride was accompanied by an escort consisting chiefly of women; but there had to be some men too, a personal confessor and spiritual advisor in particular. Supposedly, their main function was to prepare the princesses for marriage; later, those persons composed their ladies’ own courts, varying in quantity and duration, within the greater courts of their husbands. In this article, I focus on the quest for probable Ruthenians within the inner circles of the Rurik dynasty princesses married into the Piast dynasty in the 11th century. The main challenges of the quest are the insufficiency of the 11th – the early 12th-century historical sources and the inaccuracy of the late medieval materials on the subject, whose evidence requires critical view and verification. Thus it appears to be almost impossible to establish the names of all those persons who accompanied the Ruthenian princesses to the Piasts’ lands, though their presence can be inferred from historical narratives.
CODES OF BANKING ETHICS AND BANKING SOFT LAW IN POLAND
Authors: FRAŃCZUK MAGDALENA
Published: May 2019

Codes of banking ethics are increasingly common, but practice shows that they are not of major importance to bank customers. In the article it is assumed that the codes do not fulfill their functions, including the function of protecting the consumer against fraudulent practices and abuse of the dominant position of the bank in relation to the retail client. The codes contain norms specifying the most important general clauses that are used in banking law, in particular the clause of good morals and commercial honesty. In order to comply with the principles of good practice and banking ethics, it is necessary to “stiffen” the standards of soft law which are so important that they should be clearly sanctioned. To achieve it, it is necessary to introduce to the banking soft law the information that in the case of dispute with the bank a consumer may also refer to a breach of self-regulations.
LINGUOPOETICS TODAY
Authors: KONONENKO VITALIY
Published: May 2019

The article highlights a complex of problems addressed by linguopoetics, the science that concerns itself with the language of fiction and poetry. Linguopoetis as the study of imagery, its rules and means aims at revealing the potential power of tropes in literary texts; more importantly, it provides understanding of the principles that govern text organization in terms of the philosophy of knowledge, the unity of language and thought, the linguistic picture of the world. The system of ideas and images presented in literary discourse requires a holistic approach rather than the discussion of separate text fragments, i.e. the analysis of ‘vertical context’. Comprehension of metaphoricity presupposes generalizations at the level of the semantic structure of the whole text with its colloquialisms and metaphorical imagery, transformations of figurative and non-figurative meanings, stylistically neutral and marked elements, connotative layers and additional new meanings. A distinctive feature of modern literary texts is deviations from codified literary norms; such divergences create ‘freshness’, originality of expression; they create unique images providing deep psychological insight and eloquence. The study of modern literary discourse involves investigation into the general characteristics of national idiolect, its specificity, authors’ ideostylistic features. The analysis of individual styles of writing, on the material of modernist prose and poetry in particular, makes it possible to establish current literary trends and innovative tendencies in modern Ukrainian literature.

Authors: Luan Pham Thanh , Thanh Do Duc , Oksum Erdinc , Sang Le Thi
Published: May 2019

This study attempts to estimate the thermal structure in the Southern Vietnam continental shelf by calculating the Curie point depth isotherm using magnetic data. The Curie point depth values, from 49 overlapping blocks 128 × 128 km in size, have been estimated by the exponential approach. This approach is based on the analytical solution of the exponential equations obtained from transforming the magnetic anomaly data into the frequency domain. According to the obtained results, the range of Curie point depths is from 15.3 to 35.6 km. In the study area, the greatest Curie point depth is located in the South-Eastern part, and the smallest depth is located at North-Western part. The heat flows derived from the Curie point depths are also presented. The obtained results are at relatively high resolutions and in agreement with the published information available for the study area. The Curie point depths generally lie below the Moho surface in this region but lie above in some locations, notably the Cuu Long basin.

Solid waste management international perspectives
Authors: Rylander Håkan
Published: May 2019

Solid Waste Management is from many perspectives an international mission. Pollutants and emissions do not know of any boarders, they move from one country to another causing problems. We are all involved in the important task to protect the environment from these emissions - emissions coming from different products which finally have turned into waste. Wastes are simply discarded products and the design of a product can have a very significant impact on the nature of the waste that is produced. Different products are spread all over the world, finally ending up as waste, thus contributing to the negative impact on the environment if not handled in a proper way. It is only by working together from an international perspective as we can influence the producers to take their responsibility for a product throughout its entire life cycle and as we can develop ways of handling produced waste in such a way that the transboundary movement of emissions and the negative impact on the environment is minimized. Any vision, any outlook and any discussion of the future solid waste management must be based upon Agenda 21, adopted at the UN Conference on "Environment and Development" in Rio de Janeiro, 1 992. The International Conferences, Habitat I and Habitat II following of Agenda 21 have clearly showed the necessity of stressing a continously developing of an improved and acceptable solid waste management, especially in urbanized and over-crowded city areas. The problem of getting a hygienical and environmentally safe solid waste management is to a very large extent a problem of the large city areas. As waste management is a worldwide problem - with very much the same problems in different countries - there also is a need of exchanging information, experiences, know-how and results from R & D and different projects. From an International Perspective the establishing of a well functioning network is extremely important.
Waste to energy
Authors: Christensen Poul S.
Published: May 2019

For centuries mankind has produced waste from its activities which have created an environmental load, one of which is the pollution from waste. As industrialization has taken place worldwide the load on the environment has increased and today the environment's worst enemy is mankind. We produce globally more than 1 billion tons of waste per year. Today we have to realize that the production of waste has to be minimized and the remaining waste to be treated in an environmentally safe way. For the present population on earth one could say that mankind's obligation is to preserve and improve the environment for the future generations. One of the solutions for minimizing the waste in an environmentally safe and controllable way is waste incineration with energy production, on which subject I will elaborate further in the following.

Constructed wetlands as a treatment method for landfill leachate
Authors: Thörneby Lars , Hogland William , Persson Kenneth , Alm Erling
Published: May 2019

On-site treatment of landfill leachate may soon be recommended by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. Various methods and concepts are currently used or have been proposed to this end. This paper describes a treatment system for landfill leachate using a constructed wetland as a tool for; water volume reduction, leachate recycling, bioremoval of organics and nutrients, precipitation and adsorption of metals, gas production enhancement, gaseous emissions minimisation and as pre-treatment before a polishing step using other methods, for example, reverse osmosis. Assuming precipitation values corresponding to Southern Sweden a wetland covering 25 % of the drained area will reduce the annual leachate flow by 30%. If 80 % is covered by wetland all precipitation will be lost as evapotranspiration. A test plant has been established at the Swedish waste company ASSY:s landfill in Hedeskoga, both a constructed wetland and the reverse osmosis pilot plant, to test the effectiveness of these methods

Authors: Ozone Sachiko , Goto Ryohei , Haruta Junji
Published: May 2019

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background and Objectives: The scholarly activity of primary care residents is important, but effectively teaching skills remains challenging. In Japan, few primary care residency programs provide a systematic research education program. The application of legitimate peripheral participation theory to research projects may enhance research education for residents. This pilot case study described the process of enrolling primary care residents in Japan in a research education program based on legitimate peripheral participation theory. Methods: In this case study, 4 faculty members of the University of Tsukuba primary care residency program conducted an educational research program from April 2017 to June 2018 that incorporated legitimate peripheral participation theory. Results: Five residents participated in the project. In phase 1, faculty members determined the research theme and prepared the plan. In phase 2, target residents were invited to participate and began to gather background knowledge about the theme. Faculty members created a mailing list and shared the research plan with the members. In phase 3, the overall project schedule was presented and faculty members and residents shared the work of data collection and input. Faculty members demonstrated the process of data analysis to residents and discussed the results with them. In phase 4, each resident, with faculty support, prepared an abstract and presentation. Residents completed their presentations at an annual primary care conference. Conclusions: Introduction of legitimate peripheral participation theory to a primary care resident research education program may have contributed to overcoming obstacles in research education.
TOURAINE: LE SUJET CONTRE LE SYSTÈME

Résumé Malgré son ampleur et la multitude des objets qu’elle aborde, l’œuvre de Touraine est conduite par une thèse centrale: la tension entre l’acteur social et le système. Cette idée s’est déployée sur plusieurs thèmes: le travail, la société post-industrielle, les mouvements sociaux et l’idée de sujet. Dans tous les cas, Touraine oppose le sujet, ses droits et sa subjectivité, aux logiques de la domination et du fonctionnement de la société. Intellectuel de gauche, Touraine n’est cependant pas l’intellectuel organique des partis et des mouvements sociaux dont il soutient les combats, car tout son travail scientifique vise à mettre en lumière ce qui oppose le travail du sujet aux idéologies constituées.

Published: May 2019

El objetivo fue describir experiencias, barreras y facilitadores en la implementación de intervenciones de control del Aedes aegypti en América Latina y Caribe. Fue realizado un abordaje cualitativo con entrevistas en profundidad semiestructuradas a expertos en implementación de programas (19 participantes de nueve países). Se utilizó un software para la codificar los datos y se confeccionaron matrices para su comparación. En base a los hallazgos desarrollamos una representación gráfica de dimensiones teóricas que agrupan las barreras y facilitadores para la implementación de intervenciones. A nivel global, el ambiente natural y construido contribuye a la reproducción del mosquito. En el sistema de salud, la falta de priorización del problema y la escasez de recursos materiales y humanos representan los obstáculos más importantes. Se necesita que otros sectores diferentes al de salud se responsabilicen de las acciones para mejorar los determinantes sociales de la salud. Existen barreras transversales relacionadas con la gobernanza, como la descoordinación entre los niveles centrales y locales, falta de continuidad de las intervenciones y de los grupos técnicos.

Abstract The genus Dirphia Hübner, [1819] presents Neotropical distribution. This genus, besides causing accidents of interest in public health, is a potential defoliator pest of cultivated plants, among them the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale L.), a crop of great economic importance. This study describes the biology, external morphology of the immature stages of Dirphia moderata Bouvier, 1929 including the first instar larva chaetotaxy. The egg stage had an average duration of 15 days, larval stage 45 days and pupa 60 days, totaling 120 days in average temperature of 28.8 °C and 59.5% relative humidity. Six instars were confirmed by the Dyar rule, with a growth rate of cephalic capsule K = 1.4 times per ínstar. The results found in the first ínstar chaetotaxy follow the general pattern known for Hemileucinae.

Authors: Higa P. T. , Penteado-Dias A. M.
Published: May 2019

Abstract In this study the diversity of Pimplinae at three different altitude zones in the Reserva Biológica da Serra do Japi Jundiaí, SP, Brazil was investigated with a total of 18 genera and 91 morphospecies collected by Malaise traps. Highest abundance and richness of Pimplinae were found in low and high altitudes, respectively. In the intermediate altitude occurred greater diversity and equitability, with greater similarity to high altitude. The genera Pimpla and Neotheronia were the most abundant; Pimpla caerulea Brullé, 1846 was the most frequent species. A new species of the genus Acrotaphus and two new species of the genus Polysphincta were found. Descriptions of the new species and identification keys are presented.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Diagnose and quantify the presenteeism and its relations with cooperation in the reality of a public research organization. Originality/value: This study is an initiative to face the current challenge of measuring presenteeism through inclusive approaches, providing actionable information about this behaviour and integrating multidisciplinary knowledge in order to understand the factors that influence it and the factors that are influenced by it, as well as how the presenteeism affects productivity at work. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted in a public research organization with the purpose of to diagnose the reality of the organization in terms of presenteeism and cooperation by using analytical methods. Findings: The following results were obtained: 1. metrics on the general levels of presenteeism and cooperation; 2. levels of presenteeism and cooperation in each of the studied team; 3. correlations between presenteeism and cooperation; and 4. possible influence factors in the levels of presenteeism and cooperation. In summary, when recognizing the interconnectivity between presenteeism and cooperation and the relevance of a strategic management of the human capital that considers its specificities and integrates its biunivocal and inversely proportional content, this study presents empirical evidence that supports the relation between both phenomena and validates ways to diagnose and quantify their impacts in the organization.

Resumo Na engenharia, compreender corretamente os elementos que compõem os sistemas vibratórios e a física envolvida nestes é fundamental no projeto de estruturas e máquinas, por exemplo. Embora em muitos casos, no estudo de sistemas vibratórios não seja possível analisar o sistema somente com um grau de liberdade, sistemas com dois graus ou mais são muito pouco abordados em livros de Física Geral. Este artigo traz a fundamentação teórica para a análise de sistemas de dois graus de liberdade e apresenta um sistema construído com duas massas e três molas vibrando na direção do campo gravitacional da Terra. Para este sistema foi realizada uma simulação por meio do software Modellus que foi comparada com dados reais da vibração do sistema construido, obtidos por meio do software Tracker. Os dados medidos foram analisados utilizando curvas de ajuste de acordo com o modelo físico proposto e por meio de transformada rápida de Fourier. Em ambos os casos, os resultados encontrados para os dois modos de vibração estão de acordo com o previsto pela teoria.

Published: May 2019

Resumo O artigo aborda a criação do Departamento de Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo (DEF-SP), procurando analisar os debates que fomentaram sua implantação, identificar as posições assumidas pelos sujeitos que contribuíram para isso e examinar as iniciativas implementadas durante seu primeiro ano de funcionamento. A criação do DEF-SP esteve relacionada aos debates próprios dos campos esportivo e intelectual paulistas, em intersecção com disputas e tensões sobre a identidade nacional. Foi promovida por figuras do universo esportivo, como cronistas e atletas, e por médicos. A justificativa para sua criação apresentou teor eugenista, sendo a manifestação esportiva interpretada como uma forma de desenvolver o vigor físico e moral da população.

Published: May 2019

Resumo O artigo aborda o tema do plágio em livros didáticos, quando referido às pesquisas na internet e ao posicionamento dos autores. Por meio da análise de conteúdo, segundo as diretrizes de Bardin (2011), em 16 livros das coleções de Português, Ciências, Geografia e Matemática do ensino fundamental, e em entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco autores brasileiros, concluiu-se: a inexistência de orientações sobre o plágio nesses livros analisados; a não integração da temática plágio nas diretrizes do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático; e a responsabilização da mediação dessas orientações exclusivamente a cargo dos professores.
AÇÕES AFIRMATIVAS RACIAIS E A ATUAÇÃO DO JORNAL FOLHA DE S.PAULO
Authors: Ferreira Nara Torrecilha
Published: May 2019

Resumo Este artigo pretende mostrar como o jornal Folha de S.Paulo atuou nas discussões sobre as ações afirmativas raciais no ensino superior brasileiro. Primeiro, são apresentadas as discussões em torno das concepções defendidas para ações voltadas à diminuição das desigualdades raciais. Em seguida, são analisadas as publicações do jornal direcionadas ao tema das ações afirmativas no ensino superior brasileiro. O rastreamento das publicações da Folha de S.Paulo mostrou que o jornal posiciona-se contra as políticas afirmativas, especialmente as raciais, não apenas por meio dos editoriais. Ademais, a análise das discussões apresentadas permitiu a visualização das três teses reativas/reacionárias de Hirschman.
UNA PROPUESTA DE DIÁLOGO ENTRE LA PSICOLOGÍA DEL DESARROLLO Y LA CARTOGRAFÍA CRÍTICA
Authors: Parellada Cristian , Castorina José Antonio
Published: May 2019

Resumen En los últimos años, en el campo de la psicología del desarrollo diversas investigaciones tuvieron por objetivo explicar cómo los niños construyen el pensamiento espacial (spatial thinking). El presente artículo tiene por objetivo mostrar que tal programa de investigación puede ser complejizado, si se asume que el significado de los mapas surge del interjuego de valores y creencias sociales en los que se producen y circulan, para ello se retomarán aportes de los estudios críticos realizados en el ámbito de la historia de la cartografía. Se considera la apertura de un espacio de colaboración interdisciplinaria entre una psicología del desarrollo constructivista, vinculada con las creencias de los grupos sociales, y una cartografía crítica que ha integrado a los mapas con las normas y los valores de la tradición social de la que son producto.
EXPANSÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA E MERCADO DE TRABALHO: CONSEQUÊNCIAS NO CAMPO DO DIREITO
Authors: Pereira Ricardo Bernardes
Published: May 2019

Resumo Nos últimos anos, com a aceleração do crescimento do ensino superior brasileiro, a quantidade de bacharéis habilitados ao exercício das profissões aumentou consideravelmente. Com o objetivo de compreender as consequências da expansão universitária sobre os bacharéis em Direito, por meio de 33 entrevistas com recém-diplomados e da análise de dados secundários, este artigo mostra que a busca por concursos públicos, a desvalorização da posição de associado nos escritórios de advocacia, a ocupação de novos territórios no mercado de trabalho e a atuação como advogado autônomo são experiências comuns. O aumento do número de credenciados interage com as regras de um campo altamente regulado, de modo a possibilitar o aumento da concorrência profissional, apesar de criar formas de ingresso profissional consideradas insatisfatórias pelos bacharéis.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as condições higiênico-sanitárias e o perfil da comunidade microbiana dos utensílios e das mesas de um serviço de alimentação localizado no município do Rio de Janeiro. A caracterização do processo de higienização dos utensílios (pratos, bandejas e talheres) e das mesas foi realizada por observação sistemática. Verificou-se que os utensílios eram lavados em máquina de lavar e as mesas, manualmente. Após a higienização, os utensílios apresentavam umidade e resíduos de alimentos. Pelo método dependente de cultivo, foram analisadas 126 amostras higienizadas (utensílios: n=90 e mesas: n=36). Pesquisaram-se bactérias mesófilas, coliformes, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus e fungos. Das amostras analisadas, 100% dos utensílios e 80% das mesas apresentaram contagens microbianas superiores ao recomendado na literatura, estando em condições higiênico-sanitárias inadequadas. E. coli foi isolada nos utensílios e S. aureus, nas mesas. Pelos métodos independentes de cultivo (PCR-DGGE e sequenciamento da subunidade 16S do rRNA), foram analisadas 36 amostras (utensílios: n=27 e mesas: n=9). Klebsiella sp. e Acinetobacter sp. Foram detectadas em todas as amostras, Citrobacter sp. sobre as mesas e Aeromonas hydrophila, nos talheres. Houve falha no processo de higienização, que foi confirmada pelas análises realizadas, que evidenciaram a presença de microrganismos indicadores e patogênicos, que podem causar a perda da qualidade das refeições, assim como danos à saúde dos comensais. Desta forma, é necessário adequar o processo de higienização, a fim de minimizar o risco de contaminação e o surto de doenças transmitidas por alimentos (DTA).
