literatura urbana de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Camargo Frederico Antonio Camillo
Published: December 2018

Resumo: Este artigo tem por objetivo examinar algumas características presentes em escritos de ambiência urbana de João Guimarães Rosa publicados em seus livros póstumos – Estas estórias e Ave, palavra –, agrupando-os segundo certas afinidades formais ou temáticas: o estilo fragmentado e a atitude ambivalente com relação à cidade; à representação dos males do regime nazista; e à figuração de sujeitos opressos pelo sistema de sociabilidades que a urbe impõe. Num segundo momento, os textos urbanos são contrapostos à literatura sertaneja de Guimarães Rosa e distinguidos, especialmente, pelo enfraquecimento do modo ficcional promovido pelo recurso amplo à voz autobiográfica e pelo emprego de um discurso mais reflexivo ou sentencioso.Palavras-chave: Guimarães Rosa; cidade; discurso autobiográfico; literatura sapiencial.Abstract: This paper aims to examine some traits found in João Guimarães Rosa’s urban writings published in his posthumous works – Estas estórias e Ave, palavra –, by grouping them according to certain similarities of form or theme – the fragmentary style and the ambivalent posture in relation to the city, the approach of the World War II strains, and the depiction of individuals oppressed by the urban sociabilities. Thereafter, urban texts are compared to Guimarães Rosa’s rural literature and distinguished mainly by the dilution of the fictional model, verified by the extensive appeal to an autobiographical stance and the use of a more reflexive and preceptive diction.Keywords: Guimarães Rosa; city; autobiographical discourse; wisdom literature.

Authors: Tarapuez-Chamorro Edwin , Aristizábal-Tamayo Juan Manuel , Monard-Blandón Catherine
Published: December 2018

Dado que los factores determinantes en la intención empresarial (IE) en jóvenes no han sido totalmente esclarecidos, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la incidencia de los factores sociodemográficos y familiares sobre las iniciativas empresariales de una muestra de 485 estudiantes de Maestría en Administración en Colombia. El análisis probabilístico se lleva a cabo mediante modelos de regresión logística para cada uno de los grupos de variables. Los principales hallazgos indican que el Logit tiene mayor capacidad explicativa en el grupo de factores sociodemográficos; en particular, la presencia de amigos empresarios incrementa la capacidad de desarrollar IE en comparación con las demás variables analizadas.
I, 'Madman': An Autosomatography of Schizoaffective Disorder and Mad Subjectivity
Authors: Procknow Greg
Published: December 2018

This paper is a learning of schizoaffective disorder through the lenses of slasher-cinema studies literature, subjectivity camera theory, and Mad Studies. The author imports wholesale the language of slasher-cinema studies to help articulate his schizoaffective stories through an autosomatography. He recommends that the slasher subgenre of horror can be a progressive text to assist schizoaffective sufferers with understanding aspects of their schizo-symptomologies.
Authentic Voices, Authentic Encounters: Cripping the University Through American Sign Language
Authors: Robinson Octavian , Henner Jonathan
Published: December 2018

Discussions on disability justice within the university have centered disabled students but leaves us with questions about disability justice for the disabled scholar and disabled communities affiliated with universities through the lens of signed language instruction and deaf people. Universities use American Sign Language (ASL) programs to exploit the labors of deaf people without providing a return to disabled communities or disabled academics. ASL courses offers valuable avenues for cripping the university. Through the framework of cripping, we argue universities that offer ASL classes and profit from them have an obligation to ensure that disabled students and disabled academics are able to navigate and succeed in their systems. Disabled students, communities, and academics should capitalize upon the popularity of ASL to expand accessibility and the place of disability in higher education.
Disabling Fields, Enabling Capital: Mothers with Disabilities and the Concerted Cultivation Habitus
Authors: Frederick Angela
Published: December 2018

This article examines the experiences of mothers with disabilities who engage in concerted cultivation, a parenting style commonly practiced in middle-class communities. The author explores these mothers' experiences in the "fields" of their children's schools and organized extracurricular activities. Findings illuminate how ruptures in these mothers' middle - class habitus occur as they confront accessibility barriers and social exclusion while engaging in concerted cultivation. These mothers are found to simultaneously deploy class-based resources to overcome these barriers. This analysis lays bare the ways in which the concerted cultivation habitus presumes a nondisabled identity.
Autism, Advocacy Organizations, and Past Injustice
Authors: Rosenblatt Adam
Published: December 2018

Fruitful connections can be made between Disability Studies and post-conflict transitional justice, two areas of scholarship concerned with human rights and the impacts of violence that have rarely been brought into critical dialogue with one another. For over a decade, one of the world's largest and best-known autism organizations, the US-based Autism Speaks, has been subject to criticisms and boycotts by autistic self-advocates and their allies. This article describes the forms of harm attributed to the organization, arguing that these harms can be viewed through the lens of what transitional justice scholar Jill Stauffer calls "ethical loneliness": "the experience of being abandoned by humanity compounded by the experience of not being heard" (2015b, 1). I argue that Autism Speaks's recent reforms and responses to criticism, in focusing largely on present-day organizational policies and structures, fail to grasp the full temporal dimensions of ethical loneliness or the importance of addressing past injustice.
'We did it ourselves': The Deaf Social Movement and the Quest for the Legal Recognition of the Libras Sign Language in Brazil
Authors: Brito F , Prieto Ros
Published: December 2018

This paper presents the results from a qualitative study on the history of the Deaf social movement in Brazil and the collective actions of its members to achieve legal recognition of Libras - the Brazilian Sign Language. The study was undertaken between 2009 and 2013 in several Brazilian capitals. We interviewed Deaf and hearing activists, Sign language specialists, Deaf education researchers, and members of the government. We also analysed written and audio-visual documents from personal collections and public and private institutions. These discoveries made it possible to trace the transformation in the Deaf community from its emergence in the context of the disabled social movements of the 1980s to the far more public demonstrations in the 1990s. The study also looks at the progressive empowerment of the movement's members, and their collectively defined ideologies, that were designed to promote and justify their political agenda. The paper also attempts to clarify the movement's role in the approval of the Libras Federal Law 10.436 of April 2002, regulated by decree 5.626 in December 2005, and discusses its importance in guaranteeing government bilingual educational policies for Deaf students.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most frequent complications of diabetes, which leads to severe consequences, including rapid and irreversible vision loss. The laser coagulation procedure to treat diabetic retinopathy consists in applying a series of microburns to the fundus to deal with macular edema. The existing hardware/software packages are primarily based on the use of a predetermined pattern for coagulate arrangement. However, due to the complex form of edema and vascular system, this approach leads to an uneven arrangement. To solve the problem, we propose a new approach based on the application of sphere packing algorithms (circle packing in two-dimensional images) in the specified area of interest. Since one of the main requirements for the laser coagulation procedure is that it should have the minimum duration, a problem of the computational complexity of the developed algorithms arises. This requirement is completely ignored by the existing approaches, therefore the development of new high-performance coagulate arrangement algorithms is highly relevant. In the paper, we propose seven new algorithms for coagulate arrangement and provide a detailed analysis of key characteristics of the algorithms. The characteristics considered have made it possible to extract information relating to the algorithm properties. Regularity is determined by the median, asymmetry and the kurtosis; determinism is determined by the variance and the mean.
Elaboração da problemática lexicológica em gramáticas, tratados e diálogos da língua dos séculos XVI e XVII
Authors: Kossarik Marina A.
Published: December 2018

Gramáticas, tratados e diálogos da língua anteriores a Port-Royale revelam a consolidação, nas obras que não são lexicográficas, de muitas ideias da lexicologia actual: 1. entendimento da palavra como unidade da língua; 2. concepção da formação de palavras e a tendência de destacar esta problemática como uma área específica da descrição linguística; 3. novas atitudes à classificação do léxico e princípios de fixar a norma lexical; 4. eclosão das ideias da lexicologia histórica e da etimologia no significado moderno deste termo. A dedicação à problemática da palavra contribui à formação da lexicologia como disciplina linguística e ao aparecimento de vários tipos de dicionários.
Zeitgeist Em homenagem a Evanildo Bechara por ocasião dos seus 90 anos
Authors: Altman Cristina
Published: December 2018

O texto retoma um problema recorrente na pesquisa historiográfica em ciências da linguagem: a questão das influências e do clima intelectual (Zeitgeist) no processo de produção de conhecimento em uma tradição linguística. O objetivo é reverenciar os 90 anos de Evanildo Bechara que, em vários momentos de sua longa trajetória, rendeu tributos àqueles que considerou seus maiores mentores. Escolhi, por achar oportuno à ocasião, revisitar o diálogo que se estabeleceu entre Said Ali e o homenageado, na tese que apresentou em 1954 para concorrer à cátedra de Língua Portuguesa no Colégio Pedro II: Evolução do pensamento concessivo em português, dedicada à “memória do mestre diletíssimo e amigo inesquecível M. Said Ali Ida (1861-1953)”, a quem Bechara reconheceu, explicitamente, dever sua formação filológica.
Notas sobre a tradução para português dos tempos verbais do passado em gramáticas latino-portuguesas (1535-1615)
Authors: Ponce de León Romeo Rogelio
Published: December 2018

No trabalho, são analisados os comentários de tipo prescritivo sobre a formação dos tempos compostos do sistema verbal português, registados em gramáticas latino-portuguesas publicadas entre 1535 e 1615, nomeadamente nos De institutione grammatica libri tres (Lisboa 1572), do jesuíta Manuel Álvares. Nesta arte gramatical, é denunciada a tradução para português destes tempos, em manuais gramaticais para o ensino do latim, atráves do verbo auxiliar ‘haver’ – em vez de ‘ter’ –, é apresentada com pormenor a correspondência, são aventados os possíveis motivos para a deficiente tradução e são incorporadas, na tradução portuguesa, as formas compostas com ‘ter’ no paradigmas verbais. As observações normativas de Álvares são o ponto de partida para estudar as opções de tradução, quanto aos tempos compostos, dos autores que compuseram artes ou tratados gramaticais latinos nas balizas cronológicas acima referidas.
Participação econômica dos membros: O tratamento jurídico e contábil do capital social no direito brasileiro
Authors: De Conto Mario , Richter Londero Paola
Published: December 2018

De acordo com o 3.º Princípio Cooperativista da Participação Econômica dos Membros, os sócios contribuem de forma equitativa e democraticamente controlam o capital da sua cooperativa, sendo que parte desse capital é geralmente de propriedade comum. Tradicionalmente, o capital social foi entendido, do ponto de vista jurídico-contábil, como integrante do patrimônio líquido das Cooperativas. Recentemente, o International Accounting Standards Board, através das normas internacionais de contabilidade, compreen deu que o Capital Social deve ser classificado como uma obrigação e, portanto, como um passivo da Cooperativa. Tal classificação traz consequências, principalmente pelo aumento dos índices de endividamento dessas entidades. Assim, o presente artigo analisa o 3.º Princípio do Cooperativismo, a sua regulação no Direito Internacional e o tratamento contábil-jurídico atribuído ao capital social no Brasil.Recibido: 30 mayo 2018Aceptado: 10 octubre 2018Publicación en línea: 21 diciembre 2018PDF versión corregida (18/02/2019): inclusión de la coautora Paola Richter Londero, omitida (de la lista) inadvertidamente durante la fase de corrección de las pruebas.

ᓴᑭᐦᐃᑐᐃᐧᐣ (Sakihitowin/Love and Kindness): Practicing an Indigenous Process of Decolonization
Authors: Rousell Davina
Published: December 2018

Western theories of knowledge and research exclude Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. Such omissions are also prevalent in research regarding Indigenous peoples, as well as, in the study of racial prejudice and identification of effective ways to ameliorate its impacts. In response to the dearth of reliable, trustworthy, culturally appropriate, research concerning the negative impacts of racial prejudice, this article discusses a community-based program in Alberta that was grounded in and used Indigenous theories of knowledge and practices. The learning program was intended to mitigate impacts of racism on Nehiyaw students in grades 7, 8, and 9 through a renewal process termed Kisewatotatowin Kiskisohkemowin. This renewal process revitalized a specific aspect of the Nehiyaw students’ identity, Sakihitowin. To conclude, the article draws on Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s (2012) postcolonial theory. The article argues that the community-based, renewal process depicted a locally informed process of decolonization.

Modeling of Situation Response Time in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network
Authors: AKINYEDE Raphael
Published: December 2018

— In Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), wireless-equipped vehicles form a network spontaneously while traveling along the road. The direct wireless transmission from vehicle to vehicle makes it possible for them to communicate even where there is no telecommunication infrastructure; this emerging new technology provide ubiquitous connectivity to vehicular nodes while on the move, The main idea is to provide ubiquitous connectivity to vehicular nodes while on the move, and to create efficient vehicle-to-vehicle communications that enable the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This is achieved by allowing nodes within certain ranges to connect with each other in order to exchange information. Since accident happens in split seconds, to avoid communication inefficiency, there is need for this information to get to the intended vehicle on time. To solve this problem, this work models each vehicle in a chain of others and how it responds to the traffic around it using Microscopic (also known as car-following) method for modeling traffic flow; driver- to-driver and driver-to-road interactions within a traffic stream and the interaction between a driver and another driver on road were considered. The essence of this modeling is to determine the minimum response time required for a vehicle in VANET to respond and communicate situations on the road. A simulated scenario was carried out for two vehicles, a leading vehicle and following vehicle. The result shows that with an average of 32 meters apart with average difference in velocity of   1.23m/s, a minimum of 0.9secs is required for efficient situation response communication to ensue between them.
EFL Learning Potential: General or Modular?
Authors: Kozulin Alex , Levi Tziona
Published: December 2018

Little attention has been paid to the question about generality versus modularity of the learning potential (LP). The main research question of our study was: Is the students’ LP established with the help of a dynamic assessment of their English as a foreign language (EFL) oral proficiency general enough to predict their subsequent EFL reading and writing scores? Eighty students (38 boys, 42 girls) received a dynamic assessment of their EFL oral proficiency in a pretest – mediation – posttest format. Six months later they took a standard EFL reading comprehension and writing exam. The results indicate that the correlations between oral LP scores and both reading (r = .42) and writing (r = .45) are significant and much stronger than the correlations with the static oral pretest. Oral LP appears to be general enough to predict students’ subsequent reading and writing achievements.

Application of generalised hierarchical product of graphs for computing F-index of four operations on graphs
Authors: De Nilanjan
Published: December 2018

The F-index of a graph is defined as the sum of cubes of the vertex degrees of the graph which was introduced in 1972, in the same paper where the first and second Zagreb indices were introduced. In this paper we study the F-index of four operations on graphs which were introduced by Eliasi and Taeri, and hence using the derived results we find F-index of some particular and chemically interesting graphs.
Some methods for constructing some classes of graceful uniform trees
Authors: Suparta I Nengah , Ariawan I Dewa Made Agus
Published: December 2018

A tree T(V, E) is graceful if there exists an injective function f from the vertex set V(T) into the set {0, 1, 2, ..., ∣V∣ − 1} which induces a bijective function fʹ from the edge set E(T) onto the set {1, 2, ..., ∣E∣}, with fʹ(uv) = ∣f(u) − f(v)∣ for every edge {u, v} ∈ E. Motivated by the conjecture of Alexander Rosa (see) saying that all trees are graceful, a lot of works have addressed gracefulness of some trees. In this paper we show that some uniform trees are graceful. This results will extend the list of graceful trees.
Oxygen desorption and oxygen transfer through oak staves and oak stave gaps: an innovative permeameter
Authors: Qiu Yang , Lacampagne Soizic , Mirabel Marie , Mietton-Peuchot Martine , Ghidossi Rémy
Published: December 2018

During wine aging, several complex phenomena take place in barrels according to oak’s intrinsic physical properties. This research aims to better understand oxygen desorption and oxygen transfer phenomena through oak staves and especially through stave gaps in order to reevaluate the importance of barrel-making in barrel’s oxygen supply. Experimentation was based on the development of an innovative permeameter. With this permeameter, we could estimate gas transfer through oak staves and between oak stave gaps. With a specially developed tightening system, the existing pressure at stave gaps in a barrel could be reproduced on a laboratory scale in order to estimate its influence on oxygen transfer efficiency. Results proved that oxygen transfer through intact oak wood is limited; the main oxygen transfer takes place (i) through weak zones caused by fragile contact between staves and (ii) with low pressure between two staves (mainly in the middle of the side pieces). So, it is identified that oxygen transfer through stave gaps is largely impacted by applied pressure and by contact conditions on the surfaces of adjacent staves. This research also proves that oxygen desorption plays an important part in total oxygen ingress. These results confirm that the barrel-making process has a strong impact on a barrel’s oxygen supply during the aging process.
BASE TRANSCEDENTAL VALUE ON JUDGE’S DECISION (Study of Basic Perspective of Pancasila State)
Authors: Huda Nurul , Dimyati Khudzaifah
Published: December 2018

Pancasila is the state fundamental norm that is not formed by a higher norm. The highest expectation of justice seekers is fair verdict. The criticisms addressed to the judges persist due to gap between the judge's verdict and the values of justice the public hoped for. Viewed from the philosophical perspective, the first principle is vertical dimension (hablumminallah) while the second one is horizontal dimension (hablumminnas). This paper examines transcendental value in judge's decision. This research uses qualitative approach method through inductive conceptualization approach. The research intended to investigate the judges' rulings subsequently opposed to the juridical, sociological and philosophical transcendental values found its relevance to the rechtidee of the Indonesian nation. The results show that in practice, there is a tendency that judges' rulings emphasize on procedural justice rather than substantial justice. Whereas, if we comprehend the State Policy and the constitution, the judges verdicts ideally cannot be separated from its base namely transcendental values.Keywords: Judge's Verdict, Pancasila, Transcendental Value

AbstractThe most widely used of control chart in multivariate control processing is control chart T2 Hotelling. There are 2 kinds of control chart T2 Hotelling, namely T2 Hotelling for group observation and T2 Hotelling  for individual observation. In this paper, discuss the control chart T2 Hotelling for individual observation. This control chart is used for monitoring of mean vector and sample of covariance matrix.   Mean vector and sample of covariance matrix are very sensitive with respect to extreme point (outliers). Therefore, it is needed  an estimator of mean vector and has a stocky population covariance matrix to the outliers data. One method that can be used to detect data that contains outliers is  Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD). From the calculation results, obtained that  control chart T2 Hotelling by using Fast-MCD algorithm is more sensitive to detect outliers data  than  T2 Hotelling classically.Keyword: T2 Hotelling, Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD), robust, outlier AbstrakBagan kendali yang  paling banyak digunakan dalam pengendalian proses secara multivariat adalah bagan kendali T2 Hotelling.

Efficacy of a midwife-coordinated, individualized, and specialized maternity care intervention (ChroPreg) in addition to standard care in pregnant women with chronic disease: protocol for a parallel randomized controlled trial
Authors: de Wolff Mie , Johansen Marianne , Ersboell Anne Schoedt , Rosthoej Susanne , Brunsgaard Anne , Midtgaard Julie , Tabor Ann , Hegaard Hanne Kristine
Published: December 2018

Background: The number of women of childbearing age with chronic diseases is rising. The risk of obstetric complications and poor psychological well-being is higher among these women, and research is needed to investigate how to meet the obstetric and psychological needs of this group during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Previous research has shown that care coordination, continuity of care, woman-centered care and specialized maternity care interventions delivered to women with high-risk pregnancies can improve patient-reported outcomes, pregnancy outcomes, and be cost-effective. However, no previous trials have examined the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of such interventions among pregnant women with chronic diseases. This paper describes the protocol of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a midwife-coordinated, individualized and specialized maternity care intervention (ChroPreg) as an add-on to standard care for pregnant women with chronic diseases.
Methods: This two-arm parallel group RCT study will be conducted from October 2018 – June 2020 at the Department of Obstetrics, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Pregnant women with chronic diseases are invited to participate; 274 women will be randomized and allocated 1:1 to the ChroPreg intervention plus standard care or standard care alone. The ChroPreg intervention consists of three main components: 1. Coordinated and individualized care, 2. Additional ante- and postpartum consultations, and 3. Specialized midwives. The primary outcome is length of hospital stay (LOS) during pregnancy and in the postpartum period and secondary outcomes are: psychological well-being (the five-item World Health Organization Well-being Index, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Cambridge Worry Scale), health-related quality of life (the 12-Item Short Form Survey), patient satisfaction (The Pregnancy and Childbirth Questionnaire), and number of antenatal visits. Explorative outcomes will be pregnancy and delivery outcomes. Data is collected via patient-administered questionnaires and from medical records.
Discussion: This trial is anticipated to contribute to the field of knowledge on which planning of improved antenatal, intra- and postpartum care for women with chronic disease is founded.

Educação Ambiental nos Livros Didáticos Adotados no Ensino Fundamental pelo Município de Acaraú–Ceará
Authors: De Oliveira Maria José , Nunes Brasil de Matos Eugênio Pacelli
Published: December 2018

Discutir sobre os problemas ambientais torna-se cada vez mais pertinente, tendo em vista a crise ambiental que o planeta enfrenta. Uma maneira para favorecer discussões sobre o assunto é inserir essa temática no âmbito educativo. Dessa forma, reconhecem-se nesse trabalho os livros didáticos como uma possibilidade para inserção da educação ambiental no espaço escolar, uma vez que eles são uma das maiores ferramentas de apoio utilizadas pelos professores e alunos nas escolas. Portanto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo, analisar os conteúdos relacionados à educação ambiental presentes nos livros didáticos adotados pelo município de Acaraú-Ceará em diferentes disciplinas no ensino fundamental. A metodologia foi baseada na técnica de análise de conteúdo, onde realizou-se a leitura de vinte e dois livros didáticos utilizados de primeiro ao quinto ano em cinco disciplinas do ensino fundamental e posteriormente os dados encontrados foram agrupados em categorias temáticas. Verificou-se que existe uma distribuição bastante desigual do tema transversal de meio ambiente nas diferentes disciplinas. Ciências foi a disciplina que mais apresentou trechos com referência a natureza e ambiente seguida por geografia e a disciplina que menos fez referência a aspectos ambientais foi história. Apesar da abordagem em todas as disciplinas o que se observou foi que na maioria das vezes não há uma intencionalidade de promover a reflexão indivíduo x ambiente, ou seja, ocorrendo de maneira desvinculada da realidade do aluno, sem contextualização e sem haver uma abordagem crítica acerca das questões ambientais.

Durante a instalação das fundações foram gerados 4,2 m3 de resíduos; na fase de construção das estruturas foram gerados 575,4 m3 de resíduos; e na terceira fase (revestimento das fachadas e acabamento interno) foram gerados 1.292,6 m3 de resíduos, totalizando uma geração de aproximadamente 1.872,20 m3 de resíduos. Quanto à tipologia dos resíduos observou-se que houve a retirada de 363 caçambas estacionárias do local, sendo 743,4 m3 (40%) de resíduos Classe A, 482,8 m3 (26%) de madeira (Classe B), 315 m3 (17%) de gesso (Classe B) e 331 m3 (17%) de resíduos de todas as classes (misturado). Quanto ao destino final, a Usina de Reciclagem de Resíduos (USIR) recebeu 100% dos resíduos Classe A, 36,6% dos resíduos Classe B e 11,4% dos resíduos Classe C; a empresa Ceará Pallets recebeu 15,6% dos resíduos Classe B e o Aterro Sanitário Metropolitano Oeste de Caucaia (ASMOC) recebeu 47,8% de resíduos Classe B e 88,6% de resíduos Classe C. Salienta-se que parte dos resíduos Classe B (especificamente a madeira) foram selecionados para sua reutilização no próprio canteiro de obras. A pesquisa permitiu observar que o gerenciamento dos resíduos gerados no canteiro de obras caracteriza-se como satisfatório, visto que há um controle interno da quantidade e tipologia do que foi gerado, além de informações sobre o transportador e a destinação final desses resíduos.

A Química é uma ciência essencialmente experimental e a ausência de um conhecimento prático dificulta a aproximação dos conhecimentos teóricos da realidade dos alunos, tornando assim o processo de ensino-aprendizagem difícil. Diante disso, o trabalho teve como proposta a construção de um modelo molecular a partir de materiais de baixo custo, preferencialmente recicláveis e de fácil acesso, a ser aplicado nas escolas de ensino médio público do município de Ubajara – CE, pertencentes à Coordenadoria Regional de Desenvolvimento da Educação 5 (CREDE) da Secretaria de Educação do Estado. Para confecção do modelo molecular foi utilizado papel higiênico, cola branca, tinta guache, pincel e palitos de cotonete. Ou seja, utilizando materiais de baixo custo, esse trabalho nos possibilitou refletir que é exequível usar meios alternativos para o ensino de Química facilitando desta forma a motivação e a compreensão dos alunos.

Published: December 2018

We compute correlation functions of three-dimensional Landau-gauge
Yang-Mills theory with the Functional Renormalisation Group. Starting
from the classical action as only input, we calculate the
non-perturbative ghost and gluon propagators as well as the
momentum-dependent ghost-gluon, three-gluon, and four-gluon vertices in
a comprehensive truncation scheme. Compared to the physical case of four
spacetime dimensions, we need more sophisticated truncations due to
significant contributions from non-classical tensor structures. In
particular, we apply a special technique to compute the tadpole diagrams
of the propagator equations, which captures also all perturbative
two-loop effects, and compare our correlators with lattice and
Dyson-Schwinger results.
Were tobacco warehouse receipts an economic form of money during part of the Colonial period in Virginia?
Authors: F. Gentle Paul
Published: December 2018

This article examines the special use of tobacco warehouse receipts as a store of value, medium of exchange and unit of account in Virginia during part of the British Colonial period. These receipts met the three criteria necessary for them to be a type of money. When confidence in a system of currency with coins is present, this more conventional form of money takes precedence. A respected economic form of currency with coins has all three elements of money: medium of exchange, store of value and unit of account. Tobacco warehouse receipts were used as a form of money in Colonial Virginia. They were used since there was insufficient gold or silver for the commerce in British Colonial Virginia at that time. Also, the concept of store of value is examined in detail.
Comparison of the Soil Environment Conservation Act and the Groundwater Act in the Republic of Korea
Authors: Kim Minah , Kim Heejung
Published: December 2018

Demand for water is steadily rising due to high population growth coupled with continuing urbanization and industrialization. Limited surface water availability makes water supplies increasingly dependent on groundwater. With growing dependence on groundwater, groundwater quality and availability are becoming an increasingly important issue. Once groundwater is contaminated, pollutants rest in the contaminated aquifer semi-permanently, requiring enormous efforts and costs for remediation, apart from the fact that it is technically impossible to restore contaminated water to its natural state. Therefore, the importance of preventing groundwater contamination cannot be overstated. In this regard, it is of paramount importance for sustainable and efficient management of groundwater resources to regulate it with clearly formulated provisions in pertinent laws and regulations. Worldwide, groundwater remediation is usually done in conjunction with soil remediation. In the Republic of Korea, too, groundwater remediation is performed mostly as part of soil remediation projects. In this study, we compare and analyze two domestic laws directly associated with groundwater remediation, namely, the Soil Environment Conservation Act and the Groundwater Act. On the basis of the analysis results, we sought strategic measures for strengthening nationwide groundwater quality management.
Cretaceous climatic reconstruction from Argentina based on palynological data

Paleoclimatic reconstructions have used different proxies as climate indicators. In this context, palynomorphs play a crucial role for making inferences about past climate changes because of their presence and distribution during the geologic history in almost all types of environments. Argentina has a wide latitudinal range in South America, with diverse cretaceous units yielding palynomorphs that represent different climatic conditions. The Cretaceous was a time when climate conditions showed some special variations. Different theories about the climate conditions at this time were postulated. The main aim of this contribution is to understand climate trends during the Cretaceous, based on the quantitative analysis of selected pollen and spores, considered as climate indicators, from different geological units in Argentina. The evaluation of the palynofloras has been undertaken mainly by reviewing published sources from cretaceous basins but also with our own unpublished data. The climatic trend during the Cretaceous showed that the Early Cretaceous is marked by aridity episodes with high values of Classopollis and Gnetales. In contrast, the Late Cretaceous showed warmer and more humid conditions indicated by increasing values of free-sporing plants (especially Bryophytes and ferns) and palm pollen grains, and the decrease until their absence of the aridity indicators.

The Santa María valley is located in the northern sector of the Sierras Pampeanas in Northwest Argentina. In spite of its arid characteristics, it was a densely populated area during the Pre-hispanic period. The populations developed an agropastoral economy, taking advantage of the wetter epochs that characterized some periods. The study of fluvio-aeolian records of the El Paso and Cafayate areas yielded interesting data for regional paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Geomorphological maps, field surveys, and archaeological digs were complemented with the detailed stratigraphic record of several points, together with radiocarbon and OSL dating. Alternating wetter and drier periods were inferred for the last 2,800 years. The wetter phases generated enough stability to allow soil formation and a better plant cover, thus favouring human settlements. For the paleoenvironmental interpretation, well defined European chronozones were used because there are no South American denominations. Within the sequence, some wetter periods stand out, such as the one between 2,800-2,500 BP, the intermediate Roman Period (80-280 AD), and the LALIA (Late Antique Little Ice Age) (536-660 AD), while the drier phases comprise the Roman Epoch and the Medieval Climate Anomaly. Moreover, dune active phases during the last millennium were determined for 1,000, 1,350, 1,650, and 1,770 AD approximately, separated by wetter periods recorded by the presence of a paleosoil (15th century) and historical data (17th and 18th centuries).
Factors Affecting Posttraumatic Growth Among College Students
Authors: Mi Young Kim , Yujeong Kim
Published: December 2018

Background:

College students experience emotional trauma and post-traumatic growth throughout their lives. However, there are few studies that identified the types of traumatic events, and the factors contributing to their positive growth through events among college students.

Objective:

The purpose of the present study was to investigate factors affecting posttraumatic growth among college students.

Methods:

The study is a cross-sectional descriptive survey, and measured the traumatic events experienced, distress, big five personality factors (neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness), deliberate rumination, and posttraumatic growth on 305 college students. To find out the influencing factors on the posttraumatic growth, multiple regression analysis was performed.

Results:

The constructed model for posttraumatic growth showed that statistically significant explanatory variables were religion, deliberate rumination, agreeableness, neuroticism, and extroversion and the model including these variables has 43.1% explanatory power on posttraumatic growth (F=45.33, p<.001).

Conclusion:

It is necessary to carry out the assessment and intervention of psychological state after the traumatic accidents of college students. In addition, it is needed to develop an intervention program that they utilize their spirituality and characteristics and use deliberate rumination.
