A utopia nacionalista de Manoel Bomfim
Authors: Filgueira André Luiz De Souza
Published: August 2019

Este texto é dedicado à compreensão da designação de nação em Manoel Bomfim. A tese que sustenta essa concepção é a de que o Brasil se fez nação apoiado em todos os predicados necessários à sua consolidação (coesão social, amor à terra, amor à pátria e resistência) nos século XVI e XVII. O ânimo nacional, expressão utilizada por Bomfim para se referir à formação da pátria, manifestou-se em momentos específicos, a saber, durante a resistência à invasão francesa e, depois, à holandesa. Assim foi fundada a nação brasileira, na derrota dos invasores. O conhecimento da tradição resistente e fundadora da pátria – erguida no ânimo nacional e no suor derramado pelos herois da nação em sua defesa – Bomfim os recebeu dos escritos de Robert Southey. O ânimo nacional ganhou tonalidade nos escritos do autor em análise porque sua força repousa no sentimento, na paixão e no amor à pátria. A nossa proposta é expor os argumentos empregados por Bomfim que conferem sustentação ao aparecimento do fenômeno nacional, amparado no amor à pátria e que, depois, efervescerá as quatro revoluções do século XIX (época assinalada pela composição do Estado nacional brasileiro).

Ñande reko: fundamentos dos conhecimentos tradicionais ambientais Guaraní
Authors: Noelli Francisco Silva , Votre Giovana Cadorin , Santos Marcos César Pereira , Pavei Diego Dias , Campos Juliano Bitencourt
Published: August 2019

Este artigo apresenta alguns aspectos fundamentais do manejo de recursos ambientais e da territorialidade Guaraní no Brasil meridional e Bacia Platina. A partir de uma vasta base de dados interdisciplinares legada por vários autores desde o século XVI, temos por hipótese que os Guaraní reproduziam em seus assentamentos um sistema de conhecimentos originalmente desenvolvidos na Amazônia, que configurava a forma e a função da sua cultura material e dos seus conhecimentos ecológicos e botânicos. A base da subsistência era a policultura agroflorestal de plantas alimentícias, medicinais e matérias-primas transportadas e manejadas na longa duração, incluindo-se as espécies adotadas nas novas áreas que dominavam. Tais características tornavam os Guaraní aptos a fundar assentamentos, manejar plantas e animais em diversos ecossistemas e a modificar as paisagens vegetais para prover sua segurança alimentar.

Authors: Santana Áurea Cavalcante , Feitosa Alex Feitosa
Published: August 2019

Relatamos experiências vivenciadas na comunidade Wakalitesu/Nambikwara da aldeia Três Jacus, localizada na Terra Indígena Tirecatinga, no município de Sapezal-MT. O grupo indígena Wakalitesu fala uma língua pertencente à família Nambikwara do Sul e vivencia, na atualidade, múltiplos contextos linguísticos e identitários, em razão da convivência, dentro de sua comunidade, com outros grupos Nambikwara ̶ Halotesu, Mamaindê e Negarotê ̶ , assim como, com outros grupos indígenas falantes de línguas geneticamente distintas ̶ Iranxe, Manoki e Paresi. Nesse contexto étnico plural, a maioria dos moradores da comunidade Três Jacus se autodenomina Wakalitesu. Seu desejo é o de promover e fortalecer a língua indígena, utilizando-a mais amplamente na comunidade e na escola. Com esse intento, fomos convidados por alguns líderes da aldeia Três Jacus para lhes prestar assessoria linguística. Nessa perspectiva, propomos à comunidade aliar as pesquisas linguísticas, desenvolvidas pelos pesquisadores da UFMT, com uma formação continuada para os professores Wakalitesu, organizando encontros, oficinas e seminários.
La historia profunda de la palabra kachi: contribución a la etnohistoria protoquechua

Published: August 2019

Una historia de relaciones andino-amazónicas dentro del territorio peruano subyace a la palabra quechua para sal, kachi. El estudio comparativo reveló un origen foráneo de la palabra e implicando, por lo tanto, un antiguo contacto andino-arawak en el piedemonte andino peruano que influyó en la formación de la palabra, así como en el léxico de otras lenguas de la región. En efecto, kachi se derivaría de la composición de dos protoraíces arawak, */kaʔ/ + */tsɨ/, que denotan nombres y verbos relacionados a la práctica de la fermentación o coagulación de líquidos, una técnica muy extendida en la Amazonía para producir licores, bebidas, condimentos, entre otras cosas.
A mulher Tenetehára contemporânea: identidade étnica, gênero e movimentos sociais
Authors: Silva Cintia Maria Santana da , Martins Marci Fileti
Published: August 2019

O artigo analisa a construção da identidade da mulher Tenetehára contemporânea que, atualmente, projeta-se nacional e internacionalmente a partir de seu protagonismo nos movimentos sociais. A análise proposta, baseada nos pressupostos teóricos da Análise do Discurso, mostra que o discurso recente de valorização da identidade indígena/da mulher indígena, que tem nos movimentos sociais seu destaque máximo, funcionaria potencializando o protagonismo que a mulher Tenetehára já tem dentro de seu próprio grupo. De fato, são as relações de força no interior do universo sociocultural Tenetehára organizadoras das relações de gêneros (posições da mulher/homem), os elementos determinantes para a constituição da identidade, da posição discursiva, dessa mulher. As relações de gênero no contexto sócio-histórico-ideológico Tenetehára, que se constituem por uma “flexibilidade” entre as posições da mulher e do homem, permitiria a mulher Tenetehára ocupar posições tradicionalmente masculinas. Os deslocamentos entre essas posições são tolerados e até mesmo desejados, pois vão funcionar garantindo a força da coletividade Tenetehára.

Published: August 2019

DSS is built to support the solution recommendation of a problem. AHP and VIKOR are examples of DSS method. Due to VIKOR’s subjective weighting, this study combines the AHP and VIKOR approach to create a better and more reliable decision support system. The DSS is used to recommend article acceptance using five criteria: originality, quality, clarity, significance, and relevance. The results showed that AHP-VIKOR outperforms the performance of VIKOR. AHP weighting reliably replaces the subjective VIKOR’s initial weighting. The AHP-VIKOR result is more accurate and steadier than VIKOR. Thus, AHP-VIKOR can be presented as a proposed approach for creating a recommendation of scientific article acceptance.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Danyal , Habib Rao Imran , Mehmood Attaullah , Basit Abdul
Published: August 2019

This paper examines the relationship between enforcement of intellectual property rights and growth of the creative economy. Intellectual property based creative industries highly contribute towards national economy through trade, value addition, and tax revenues. Size of the global creative economy has almost doubled during 2015 leading it to the figure of $509 billion that was $205 billion during year 2002. It is worth noting that major player in global volume of creative economy are South Asian countries such as China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, and Taiwan. Major creative industries include software, pharmaceutical, music, cinema, fashion, design, art, culture, photography, publishing, and other related creative works. Creative industries need support of effective enforcement from intellectual property rights to pay incentive to a creator for its investment of expertise, labour, and finances. In absence of effective intellectual property enforcement and violation of intellectual property rights, innovation may go slow that affects growth of the creative economy. This research highlights potentials of growth of the creative economies in Pakistan in terms of intellectual property rights.

Published: August 2019

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph. A neighborhood connected k-fair dominating set (nckfd-set) is a dominating set S subset V(G) such that |N(u)Â  intersection S|=k for every u is an element of V(G)\S and the induced subgraph of S is connected. In this paper, we introduce and invistigate the notion of neighborhood connected k-fair domination in graphs. We also characterize such dominating sets in the join, corona, lexicographic and cartesians products of graphs and determine the exact value or sharp bounds of their corresponding neighborhood connected k-fair domination number.
Сумо в житті сучасних дітей та молоді
Authors: Bairamov Ruslan , Bondar Anastasiia
Published: August 2019

Актуальність. Розвиток дитячо-юнацького спорту має особливе значення, оскільки вирішує важливе питання залучення дітей до занять фізичними вправами, створює підґрунтя для розвитку резервного спорту та спорту вищих досягнень. Серед дітей і молоді дедалі популярнішим стає сумо. Збільшується кількість вихованців у дитячоюнацьких спортивних школах, які займаються сумо, підвищується рівень їхніх спортивних досягнень на міжнародних змаганнях, однак на сьогодні відсутні наукові дослідження щодо визначення ролі та місця сумо в житті сучасних дітей і молоді. Мета дослідження – визначення ролі сумо в житті сучасних дітей та молоді. Методи дослідження – аналіз літературних джерел і документів, опитування (анкетування), методи математичної обробки даних. Результати дослідження. У ході дослідження схарактеризовано сучасний стан розвитку сумо в дитячоюнацьких спортивних школах Харківської області, подано аналіз Навчальної програми «Сумо» для дитячоюнацьких спортивних шкіл, проведено соціологічне дослідження з метою визначення ставлення сумоїстів до сучасного стану та перспектив розвитку сумо в нашій країні. З’ясувалося, що більшість спортсменів вважають сумо видовищним видом спорту й достатньо популярним у нашій країні, однак потрапляють у цей вид спорту завдяки друзям, батькам та тренерам, що свідчить про низький рівень маркетингової діяльності фізкультурно-спортивних організацій із сумо та недостатню поінформованість населення про цей вид спорту через засоби масової інформації. Висновки. Сумо відіграє важливу роль у житті дітей та молоді, оскільки в процесі занять сумоїсти не лише розвиваються фізично – у них формується система моральних цінностей, відповідно до головних принципів сумо. На думку більшості опитаних спортсменів, для подальшого розвитку сумо в Україні потрібно покращити матеріальнотехнічні умови для проведення тренувальних занять із цього виду спорту.

Published: August 2019

Актуальність дослідження зумовлена впровадженням у навчально–тренувальний процес студентів, котрі займаються в групах підвищення спортивної майстерності (група метання), популярного в Україні виду рухової активності – кросфіт – у програму якого входять функціональні комплексні вправи силової спрямованості. Мета дослідження – розробити та експериментально перевірити вплив кросфіт-програми на підвищення рівня силових якостей та спортивної майстерності легкоатлетів-метальників закладів вищої освіти. Результати дослідження. Аналізуючи результати тестування на початку експерименту, ми виявили, що контрольна група майже за всіма показниками перевищує результати учасників експериментальної групи, але вожночас потрібно відзначити, що якщо взяти середні показники, то експериментальна група мала показники не гірші ніж контрольна. Це видно в застрибуваннях на тумбу 50 см за 30 секунд, динамометрії лівої кисті та висі на зігнутих руках, де зафіксовано незначну перевагу. Результати проведених досліджень у кінці експерименту засвідчують, що вищий відсоток приросту показників силової підготовленості спостерігаємо в легкоатлетів-метальників ЕГ, порівняно з КГ, який у середньому становив у вибуховій силі 12,25 %, у максимальній силі – 6,75 % та в силовій витривалості (статичній і динамічній) – 20,75 %. До того ж, якщо на початку експерименту ЕГ поступалась у спортивній майстерності, маючи шість результатів рівня ІІІ розряду й два – ІІ-го, порівняно з 5-ма результатами третього розряда КГ та 3-ма результатами ІІ-го, то в кінці експерименту  простежуємо  динаміку  підвищення  спортивної  майстерності  в ЕГ (7– II розряд, 1–I-й), порівняно з КГ (6–II розряд, 2–III-й). Висновки. Результати проведеного  педагогічного  експерименту свідчать, що програма підвищення рівня силових якостей метальників із використанням засобів кросфіту сприяла розвитку сили, швидкості та потужності в метальників і вивела тренувальний процес у метаннях на більш високий, якісний рівень.

Authors: Andriychuk Olga , Graida Natalia , Masikova Tatiana
Published: August 2019

Актуальність теми. Рівень якості життя є визначальним показником, над підвищенням якого концентрують свої зусилля фахівці різних галузей. Особливе місце тут належить фізичним терапевтам,  які  безпосередньо  працюють з учасниками бойових дій на Сході України, які проходять курс лікування та реабілітації. У комплексній програмі реабілітації, окрім традиційних методів терапевтичного впливу,  належне  місце  відведено  корекції зовнішніх чинників, які негативно впливають на особистісне сприйняття можливостей до життєдіяльності. Мета – визначити особливості впливу окремих факторів на суб’єктивну оцінку впливу показника інтенсивності болі в загальній структурі якості життя. Методи дослідження – аналіз та узагальнення  даних  Міжнародного опитувальника якості життя (MOS SF-36). Результати роботи. У досліджені брали участь 110 чоловіків, які проходили курс лікування та реабілітації після участі в бойових діях на Сході України. Середній вік обстежуваних – 37,09±9,95 р. Усі особи самостійно давали відповіді на запропонований опитувальник MOSSF-36. На основі отриманих даних ми аналізували показник інтенсивності болю (Bodily pain – ВР) та його вплив на якість життя. Так, середнє значення показника інтенсивності болі в загальній структурі якості життя – 45,68±1,87 бала. Досліджуючи фактори, які могли б уносити свої корективи в сприйняття значимості больових відчуттів у можливості виконувати звичну роботу, ми з’ясували, що з віком показник інтенсивності болю збільшує свій негативний вплив на  якість життя (коефіцієнт кореляції R=-0,207). Також простежено залежність між досліджуваним показником та кількістю дітей у сім’ї й сімейним станом (неодружені, одружені, розлучені). Статистичний аналіз виявив лінійні негативні кореляційні зв’язки (R=-0,202 та Tau=-0,139). Не спостерігали кореляції між показником інтенсивності  болю та місцем проживання, рівнем здобутої освіти.
Analisa Tegangan Kerusakan pada Pin Hopper
Authors: M. N. Setia Nusa
Published: August 2019

Hopper pada Stage Regenerator mengalami kerusakan berupa jatuh dan robek. Hal ini disebabkan karena lepasnya salah satu pin yang menjadi tumpuan hopper. Setelah diperiksa ternyata pin tersebut bengkok dan salah satu stoppernya lepas.Dilakukan penelitian dengan analisa tegangan menggunakan Finite Element Analysis (FEA) dengan menggunakan type elemen plat untuk memodelkan shell Hopper dan solid elemen untuk Pin. Analisa tegangan dilakukan pada model Hopper untuk menentukan beban yang bekerja pada Pin kemudian dilakukan FEA pin untuk menentukan tegangan yang terjadi pada pin. Hasil perhitungan: Rupture allowable stress/Sr untuk 100.000 jam operasi sebesar 3,2 ksi (2,24 kg/mm2). Karena tegangan yang terjadi pada pin disebabkan oleh bending maka tegangan yang terjadi harus lebih kecil dari 1,5 Sr = 3,36 kg/mm2, jadi dari FEA distribusi tegangan Pin yang dipakai harus diameter 70 mm.

To see the frequency of prostatic malignancy in patients presenting with clinically benign prostate. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Setting: Department of Urology at Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women / Hospital Nawabshah. Period: Fifteen Months, From October 2016 to December 2017. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients who presented with the clinically benign prostate in Urology OPD were enrolled. All concern data regarding Age, mode of presentation (lower urinary tract symptoms with IPSS score/ Acute retention of urine), comorbid, clinical examination findings, pre voided and post-void residual urine determination (on ultrasonography) were entered. The laboratory investigation includes complete blood count, urea, creatinine, random blood sugar (RBS), urine DR and CS, coagulation profile were performed before TURP.TURP performed under spinal anesthesia. After TURP the prostatic tissue chips were sent for histopathology as a routine. Data was analyzed through SPSS Version 20.0. Results: The average age of males was 71.38± 7.19 yrs. Most of the patients with (IPSS 20-35) BPH have lower urinary tract symptoms (both obstructive and irritative). DRE was done in all patients to estimate the size of the prostrate, it was varying from grade 1 enlarged n= 27(27%), grade 2 enlarged n= 36(36%), to grade 3 enlarged in n=37(37%). There were 3 (3%) cases reported to have prostate cancer, with findings confirmed by biopsy of TURP Specimen. There was no mortality seen in our study. The clinical presentation of patients, grades of enlargements on DRE and IPSS however, demonstrated no correlation. Conclusion: BPH is more common between 60-80yrs. When patient undergo TURP or open prostatectomy, every specimen should be sent for biopsy because prostate cancer is only confirmed by biopsy, so that prostate cancer is detected early Radiology & PSA values are supportive in their role but are not true diagnostic. Prostatic cancer is a significant morbid condition, so effective measures should be taken to detect prostatic cancer, so that patient can be properly treated according to the stage.
