Authors: Tzortzakakis Emmanuel A. , Cantalapiedra-Navarrete Carolina , Castillo Pablo , Palomares-Rius Juan E. , Archidona-Yuste Antonio
Published: February 2018

Plant-parasitic nematodes such as Longidorus euonymus and Helicotylenchus multicintctus are species widely distributed in central Europe as well as in Mediterranean area. In Greece, both species have been previously reported but no morphometrics or molecular data were available for these species. Nematode surveys in the rhizosphere of grapevines in Athens carried out in 2016 and 2017, yielded a Longidorus species identified as Longidorus euonymus. Similarly, a population of Helicotylenchus multicinctus was detected infecting banana roots from an outdoor crop in Tertsa, Crete. For both species, morphometrics and molecular data of Greek populations were provided, resulting in the first integrative identification of both nematode species based on morphometric and molecular markers, confirming the occurrence of these two nematodes in Greece as had been stated in earlier reports.

Authors: Mobasseri Mahyar , Pedram Majid , Pourjam Ebrahim
Published: February 2018

Anguillonema amolensis n. sp. is described and illustrated based on its morphological, morphometric, and molecular characters. The new species is characterized by its 575 to 820 mm long and wide body (body width at vulva = 30 to 59 mm), irregularly ventrally curved after fixation, five to six lines in lateral fields, 6.0 to 7.5 mm long stylet with small rounded knobs, pharynx lacking a median bulb, pharyngo-intestinal junction anterior to nerve ring and excretory pore, females with monodelphic-prodelphic reproductive system, 15 to 19 mm long conical tail with broad rounded tip, and males absent. The new species is compared with two known species of the genus, Anguillonema poligraphi and A. crenati. Molecular phylogenetic studies of the new species using partial sequences of small subunit (SSU) rDNA revealed that it forms a clade with an unidentified nematode species and two species of the genus Howardula. In phylogenetic analyses using partial sequences of the 28S rDNA (D2-D3 segment), the new species formed a monophyletic group with species belonging to two genera Howardula and Parasitylenchus.

Published: February 2018

Plant-parasitic nematodes are important agricultural pests and often cause serious crop losses. Novel, environmental friendly nematicides are urgently needed because of the harmful effects of some existing nematicides on human health. 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was reported as a potential biodegradable herbicide, insecticide, or plant-growth promoting agent. Lack of information on ALA against plant-parasitic nematodes prompted this investigation to determine the effects of ALA on Meloidogyne incognita, Heterodera glycines, Pratylenchus coffeae, and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. A series of in vitro assays and one greenhouse trial were conducted to examine the nematicidal effects of ALA. The results demonstrated that ALA exhibited a strong effect of suppression against the four nematodes tested. ALA also inhibited hatching of M. incognita and H. glycines. Results from the greenhouse experiment indicated that treatment of soil with 6.0 mM ALA significantly reduced the root-gall index (RGI) and egg mass number per root system compared with the
uninoculated control (P # 0.05). The metabolism assays indicated that ALA treatment significantly altered the nematode metabolism
including the total protein production, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and oxidase activities. This study suggested that ALA is a promising nematicide against plant-parasitic nematodes.

Published: February 2018

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is a serious economic threat to soybean-producing regions worldwide. A new SCN population (called race X12) was detected in Shanxi province, China. Race X12 could reproduce on all the indicator lines of both race and Heterodera glycines (HG) type tests. The average number of females on Lee68 (susceptible control) was
171.40 with the lowest Female Index (FI) 61.31 on PI88788 and the highest FI 117.32 on Pickett in the race test. The average number of females on Lee68 was 323.17 with the lowest FI 44.18 on PI88788 and the highest FI 97.83 on PI548316 in the HG type test. ZDD2315 and ZDD24656 are elite resistant germplasms in China. ZDD2315 is highly resistant to race 4, the strongest infection race in the 16 races with FI 1.51 while being highly sensitive to race X12 with FI 64.32. ZDD24656, a variety derived from PI437654 and ZDD2315, is highly resistant to race 1 and race 2. ZDD24656 is highly sensitive to race X12 with FI 99.12. Morphological and molecular studies of J2 and cysts confirmed the population as the SCN H. glycines. This is a new SCN race with stronger virulence than that of race 4 and is a potential threat to soybean production in China.
New Approaches Using Exponential Type Estimator With Cost Modelling for Population Mean on Successive Waves
Authors: Priyanka Kumari , Mittal Richa
Published: February 2018

The key and fundamental purpose of sampling over successive waves lies in the varying nature of study character, it so may happen with ancillary information if the time lag between two successive waves is sufficiently large. Keeping the varying nature of auxiliary information in consideration, modern approaches have been proposed to estimate population mean over two successive waves. Four exponential ratio type estimators have been designed. The properties of proposed estimators have been elaborated theoretically including the optimum rotation rate.Cost models have also been worked out to minimize the total cost of the survey design over two successive waves. Dominances of the proposed estimators have been shown over well-known existing estimators. Simulation algorithms have been designed and applied to corroborate the theoretical results.
Bayesian Estimation of Measles Vaccination Coverage Under Ranked Set Sampling
Authors: Das Radhakanta , Verma Vivek , Nath Dilip C.
Published: February 2018

The present article is concerned with the problem of estimating an unknown population proportion p, say, of a certain population characteristic in a dichotomous population using the data collected through ranked set sampling (RSS) strategy. Here, it is assumed that the proportion p is not fixed but a random quantity. A Bayes estimator of p is proposed under squared error loss function assuming that the prior density of p belongs to the family of Beta distributions. The performance of the proposed RSS-based Bayes estimator is compared with that of the corresponding classical version estimator based on maximum likelihood principle. The proposed procedure is used to estimate measles vaccination coverage probability among the children of age group 12-23 months in India using the real-life epidemiological data from National Family Health Survey-III.

Authors: Mhana B , Mezogi J , El-Majri M , Abushoffa A
Published: February 2018

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate a novel tablet excipient obtained from local sources, Pearl millet Pannistumamericanum starch of family Poaceae which is used locally as food because of its high carbohydrate content. It was thought that the starch of Pearl millet Pannistumamericanum may serve as a tablet disintegrant.

Methods: The excipient properties of Pearl millet starch as well as the pregelatinized form were studied in paracetamol tablets produced by wet and dry granulation methods of massing and screening and compared with maize starch BP.

Results: Wet method showed superiority in all properties of both granules and tablets. Using wet method granulations Pearl millet Pannistumamericanum starch and maize starch BP have similar angle of repose, Carr′s index, tapped density, bulk density, and Hausner′s ratio, however, Pearl millet Pannistumamericanum starch has shown advantageous in some properties such as moisture content and swelling index. Tablet produced with Pearl millet Pannistumamericanum starch disintegrated almost the same of those produced with maize starch BP at all concentrations employed. It was also found that when used as a disintegrant, the pre-gelatinized form provide tablets with better hardness and friability values than maize starch BP.

Conclusion: This study confirmed the suitability of Pearl millet Pannistumamericanum starch as an alternative to maize starch BP as a tablet disintegrant, particularly, in paracetamol tablet formulation.
Unreported leaks location using pressure and flow sensitivity in water distribution networks
Authors: Salguero F. J. , Cobacho R. , Pardo M. A.
Published: February 2018

Water distribution systems are made up of many interdependent elements that enable water supply to meet a demand that is variable in time and space. One of the main concerns for utility managers is quickly locating and repairing a leak after detection, during regular network water balance. This paper presents a two-stage methodology for locating a leak that is based on the hydraulic model of the network, and, particularly, on the conservation equations that govern network behaviour. In the first stage, the sensitivity of each element (nodes and pipes) is obtained for a given demand increase in any node. In the second stage, that sensitivity is combined with additional real data provided by the (possibly) existing pressure sensors and flowmeters installed throughout the network. As a final result, the system of equations thus obtained produces the theoretical leak flow at each network node that matches the network conditions. A subsequent analysis of the leak flows obtained highlights the node or nodes in which the leak is occurring. The presented methodology is applied and assessed in a case study.
Peptide Mediated Brain Delivery of Nano- and Submicroparticles: A Synergistic Approach
Authors: McCully Mark , Sanchez-Navarro Macarena , Teixido Meritxell , Giralt Ernest
Published: February 2018

The brain is a complex, regulated organ with a highly controlled access mechanism: The Blood-Brain
Barrier (BBB). The selectivity of this barrier is a double-edged sword, being both its greatest strength and weakness.
This weakness is evident when trying to target therapeutics against diseases within the brain. Diseases such
as metastatic brain cancer have extremely poor prognosis due to the poor permeability of many therapeutics
across the BBB. Peptides can be designed to target BBB receptors and gain access to the brain by transcytosis.
These peptides (known as BBB-shuttles) can carry compounds, usually excluded from the brain, across the BBB.
BBB-shuttles are limited by poor loading of therapeutics and degradation of the peptide and cargo. Likewise,
nano- submicro- and microparticles can be fine-tuned to limit their degradation and with high loading of therapeutics.
However, most nano- and microparticles’ core materials completely lack efficient targeting, with a few
selected materials able to cross the BBB passively. Combining the selectivity of peptides with the high loading
potential of nano-, microparticles offers an exciting strategy to develop novel, targeted therapeutics towards many
brain disorders and diseases. Nevertheless, at present the field is diverse, in both scope and nomenclature, often
with competing or contradictory names. In this review, we will try to address some of these issues and evaluate
the current state of peptide mediated nano,-microparticle transport to the brain, analyzing delivery vehicle type
and peptide design, the two key components that must act synergistically for optimal therapeutic impact.

Valoración de una experiencia de intervención con tecnologías socialmente apropiadas en Santiago del Estero (Argentina)
Authors: Díaz Juan Pablo , Rodríguez Sperat Ramiro , Paz Raúl
Published: February 2018

En el marco de las discusiones sobre el cambio tecnológico, las Tecnologías Socialmente Apropiadas surgieron como una de las alternativas al modelo de transferencia modernizante que predominó durante muchos años en Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, a pesar del tiempo transcurrido desde su creación conceptual, no es sencillo encontrar estudios que valoren procesos de intervención realizados con este tipo de abordaje. Este trabajo busca aproximarse al tema mediante el análisis de una experiencia de estercolado de cultivos prediales con estiércol de cabra, en Santiago del Estero (Argentina). A pesar de contar con un diseño -a priori- socialmente apropiado, la tecnología no fue replicada por todos los experimentadores. Para abordarlo se utilizó un enfoque cuanti-cualitativo de dos etapas. La primera prestó atención a las variables de estructura de cada experimentador y las correlacionó con las veces que dicho experimentador reiteró la práctica. La segunda analizó el funcionamiento predial, mediante estudios de caso. Los resultados indican que una determinada estructura predial no garantizó un resultado en términos de apropiación de una Tecnología Socialmente Apropiada, y que el funcionamiento del sistema de producción y la estrategia de sobrevivencia de cada familia otorgaron al predio una dinámica propia que muchas veces resultó determinante al momento de adoptar la propuesta. Además, en la experiencia abordada, no resultó suficiente diseñar la tecnología empleando recursos con control local, ni fue conveniente presentar una única propuesta tecnológica para la totalidad de los experimentadores. Los múltiples ajustes y sustituciones tecnológicas utilizadas por los productores muestran que sería interesante trabajar con los procesos de innovación locales que se dan en el territorio.
Democracy in Higher Education Courses: Transformative Strategies

Published: February 2018

Teaching/Learning can be a mutual journey in higher education. It requires more than wanting to approach teaching and learning differently. Our schema about power and teaching must be addressed. It is not a simple thing to tease out what part of submission in learning is vital to gaining mastery and learning to think deeply and critically, and what part is inhumane. It also requires a complex skill set for ourselves and for students that must be experienced and embraced by us, then taught and practiced. It is a complex change full of excitement and cognitive as well as personal challenges. Can we allow teaching and learning to become inseparable parts of a greater whole? Constructive teaching in higher education is not just about our ability to transcend the moment but the mutual journey, all participants teaching and learning that is the miracle.
A Probe into the Path of the Moral Issues From the Perspective of Marxist Philosophy’s Practical Existence Theory
Authors: Sun Cailei
Published: February 2018

In the present era of the rapid development of market-oriented economy, the strangeness between people, the division of production and the diversity of occupations, and the different thinking ways of individual lead everyone to stand in their own position. As a result, the western tragedy appears and the social moral problems are becoming more and more serious. Marx turns his philosophical attention to the way of human existence—practical activities and their historical development. This paper analyzes the current moral problems from the perspective of Marxist practical existentialism. The rational path of virtue is to regard people as a rational being and its acquirement mainly depends on the intellect to overcome the perceptual preference. The spiritual path of virtue regards human as a spiritual being and its acquisition is through dialectical deduction of spirit itself. The practical path of virtue is to emphasize human’s perceptual activity and understand and manage things through practical activities.

Authors: Zheng Shuyi
Published: February 2018

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people’s material life, the restaurant industry has increasingly become an indispensable part of people’s lives and an important symbol of people’s enrichment and improvement of life. No matter in a friend’s dinner or a colleague’s gathering, food has become a very significant part. It not only brings people enjoyment of various flavors, but also can narrow the distance between people. Located in the southwest plains, Chengdu, with the reputation of “Land of Abundance”, is an excellent place for the development of catering industry. It is not only because of the high level of commercial development in Chengdu but also the people living there enjoy their lives and are keen on food. However, there are also some undesirable problems arising with the prosperity of the catering industry in Chengdu, which will disrupt market order and good environment. Based on this, this paper mainly elaborates the current development of the catering industry in Chengdu, and correspondingly puts forward some perfecting measures for specific problems.
What do insects, anurans, birds, and mammals have to say about soundscape indices in a tropical savanna
Authors: Sousa-Lima Renata S. , Ferreira Luane M. , Oliveira Eliziane G. , Lopes Lara C. , Brito Marcos R. , Baumgarten Júlio , Rodrigues Flávio H.
Published: February 2018

The application of acoustic indices is incipient and still needs validation before it can reliably characterize soundscapes and monitor rapidly disappearing hot-spot areas as the Brazilian tropical savanna (Cerrado). Here we investigate which of six acoustic indices better correlate with the 24 h zoophony richness of insects, anurans, birds, and mammals. We sampled one minute every 30 minutes for seven days on three sites in Serra da Canastra National Park (Minas Gerais state, Brazil) and extracted the sonotype richness and six indices based on recordings with a bandwidth of up to 48 kHz. The Acoustic Diversity, Evenness, Entropy, and Normalized Difference Soundscape indices followed the temporal trends of the sonotype richness of insects and anurans. The Acoustic Complexity (ACI) and Bioacoustic (BIO) indices did not correlated with sonotype richness. ACI and BIO were influenced by sonic abundance and geophony. We emphasize the need to include insects and anurans on soundscape and acoustic ecology analyses and to avoid bias on avian fauna alone. We also suggest that future studies explore measures of sonic abundance and acoustic niche occupation of sonotypes to complement measures of zoophony richness and better understand what each faunal group is telling us about indices.

Authors: Umar Muhammad Zakaria , Faslih Arman
Published: February 2018

Ordinary audiences who do not have formal education such as builders are called vernacular architects. In Kendari City, in general, public housing is built by a vernacular architect. The foundations made by vernacular architects do not use empty stones and sand dunes. The foundation is made partially in the hole and is made partially on the surface of the soil. This research is aimed to formulate the knowledge of vernacular architect on mountain rock foundation. This type of qualitative research with the descriptive approach used in this research. The resource is determined by the snowball method. Data collection was done by observation and in-depth discussion on three construction workers. Data were analyzed by the descriptive method. The research concludes that the vernacular architect in making the mountain rock foundation is rigid but also flexible, in order to respond to earthquake disaster. Rigid principles are found on mountain rock foundations, empty stone plates, nail terms on empty stones, chicken claw foundations, hierarchy on the floor, sloof and foundation relationships. Flexible principles are found in sand dunes, empty stones, anchor depth, and mortar for plaster.

Published: February 2018

Introdução: Trata-se de uma parcela de um estudo que visa realizar o diagnóstico do serviço de dispensação de Fórmulas Nutricionais nas Farmácias Cidadãs do Espírito Santo (ES) cujas etapas compreendem: análise processual, entrevistas com pacientes ou seus procuradores e entrevistas com os Farmacêuticos responsáveis pelo fornecimento. Material e Métodos: Foram analisados 1.797 processos, de sete farmácias cidadãs do ES (Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Colatina, Linhares, Metropolitana, São Mateus, Serra e Vitória), utilizando-se de um formulário com perguntas semiestruturadas elaboradas conforme a Portaria 0-54-ES. Dados quantitativos foram expressos com a média ± desvio padrão. Todos os dados obtidos foram incluídos numa tabela do Excel 2010 para posterior tratamento estatístico. Resultados e Discussão: Dos processos analisados, foram incluídos 205 pacientes, sendo a maioria mulheres (n= 101), declaradas brancas, com mais de 65 anos, representadas legalmente por procuradores (91,15%). O estado nutricional não foi relatado em 43% dos pacientes, a média de peso prevalente foi de 56,7kg. No entanto, pelo menos 60% não apresentou o índice de massa corporal como dado antropométrico. Relataram que fazem uso de fórmulas nutricionais pela via gastrostomia 55,12% e a mesma quantidade apresentavam três ou mais doenças além do CID relatado para o fornecimento da formulação. As doenças citadas foram de natureza crônica e degenerativa que requerem tratamento por tempo indeterminado. Desta forma, 53% relataram fazer uso contínuo da alimentação enteral fornecida pela Farmácia Cidadã estadual e o que justifica a via por gastrostomia, acesso que permite um tempo maior de terapia nutricional enteral. Foi observado que 101 processos tiveram origem no SUS. No entanto, menos que 30% apresentavam todos os dados preenchidos no laudo para fornecimento de fórmulas nutricionais. Conclusão: Os processos analisados indicam que os pacientes que fazem uso de fórmulas nutricionais provêm de demanda do SUS e que requerem tratamento de longo prazo, sem previsão de término, visto que são, em sua maioria, idosos e com doenças degenerativas e/ou crônicas. A maior parte dos pacientes apresentam os critérios de inclusão para receber o alimento. Entretanto, dados essenciais, tais como IMC, estado nutricional e exames laboratoriais e antropométricos são omitidos de modo a dificultar a análise do trimestral do processo, requisito fundamental para continuidade do tratamento nutricional.

Authors: Matos e Silva Grace Kelly , Soares Santos André , Ruas Brandão Cristina Mariano
Published: February 2018

Introdução: A osteoporose é uma doença caracterizada por baixa massa óssea, alteração da microarquitetura e fragilidade esquelética. Mulheres na pós-menopausa tem risco aumentado de desenvolver a doença. O denosumabe é um anticorpo monoclonal inteiramente humano, recentemente aprovado no Brasil para o tratamento da osteoporose na pós-menopausa. Além desse medicamento, existem outros já disponíveis no mercado, com eficácia e segurança bem estudadas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia e segurança do denosumabe no tratamento de osteoporose na pós-menopausa. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura para selecionar ensaios clínicos randomizados que avaliaram o denosumabe em relação a outros fármacos para o tratamento da osteoporose na pós-menopausa. Foi realizada busca nas bases de dados Medline (via PubMed) e Lilacs (via BVS). Busca complementar em periódicos, bases de teses e dissertações e resumos de congressos foi realizada para garantir a inclusão de todos os estudos de interesse. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos foi avaliada a partir da escala de Risco de Viés da Colaboração Cochrane. Resultados: Foram incluídos seis estudos na análise final. A análise demonstrou que dentro do período de até 24 meses, a terapia com denosumabe foi mais eficaz no aumento a DMO em mulheres com osteoporose pós-menopausa do que bifosfonatos e teriparatida. Entretanto, não foi observada diferença significativa na redução de fraturas. Não foi detectada diferença no perfil de segurança do denosumabe em relação aos medicamentos avaliados. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos foi considerada de baixa a moderada. Todos os estudos incluídos foram financiados pelo mesmo laboratório farmacêutico, produtor do denosumabe, o que pode representar um viés. Conclusão: Não foram demonstrados benefícios clínicos conclusivos do denosumabe quando comparado aos bifosfonatos, no que tange à redução de fraturas. Como a osteoporose é uma doença crônica, em que o uso de medicamentos é indicado para um período superior a 2 anos, mais estudos devem ser conduzidos para avaliar seu perfil de segurança. Seu uso deve ser restrito e monitorado. Apoio Financeiro: Fapemig e CNPq.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa de intervenção com pressupostos da abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida com docentes, durante um curso de formação de mediadores, de uma escola municipal de Jaguarão-RS. O objetivo era qualificar os docentes para contribuir com a resolução de conflito no ambiente escolar. Propôs-se evidenciar ações na escola, decorrentes de um ambiente cooperativo e aquelas ações que revelam um ambiente de coação, construindo estratégias de mediação para enfrentar as manifestações de violência. A partir dos dados coletados foi possível identificar que as ações docentes requerem flexibilidade do planejamento pedagógico fundamentado no diálogo em busca de um aprendizado dos princípios de uma educação para a paz.  Os resultados indicam para a necessidade de formar pessoas para a mediação de conflitos.
Riscos no trabalho em olarias e seu entendimento por parte dos trabalhadores
Authors: Braccini Fagundes José Paulo
Published: February 2018

Por se tratar muitas vezes de um labor em condições precárias e com recursos humanos com níveis de escolaridade geralmente baixos, o trabalho desenvolvido em olarias merece atenção no que tange à adequada informação dos trabalhadores sobre os riscos existentes nos ambientes de trabalho. Em alguns casos, observam-se condições extremamente precárias com relação à segurança e saúde no trabalho, sem a devida proteção das máquinas e dos trabalhadores ou instalações elétricas inadequadas. O mapa de riscos, representação gráfica dos fatores capazes de acarretar prejuízos à saúde do trabalhador, foi instituído no Brasil no ano de 1992 pelo Ministério do Trabalho. Entretanto, o modelo convencional é fonte de polêmicas em relação à sua efetividade, sendo evidente a necessidade de alternativas que contribuam para mapas de qualidade, que auxiliem concretamente em matéria de prevenção, diminuindo acidentes e agravos à saúde do trabalhador. Neste sentido, o presente estudo aponta os riscos existentes em uma olaria no município de Caçapava do Sul/RS, apresentando uma metodologia alternativa visando propor a implementação de um mapa de riscos no empreendimento, em conjunto com os trabalhadores. Foram verificados riscos físicos como ruído, calor, vibrações e radiações não ionizantes, riscos químicos como poeira e gases no ambiente de trabalho ou resultantes de tarefas de manutenção, e, ainda, riscos ergonômicos e de acidentes, variando de acordo com o setor. Pôde-se identificar que o modelo de mapa em tela apresenta como vantagem facilitar o entendimento e a reflexão dos colaboradores sobre a existência dos diferentes riscos no exercício de suas atividades.
Educação, Ensino de História e Reminiscências de Discentes Quilombolas Acerca da Educação Básica
Authors: Silva Paulo gutemberg
Published: February 2018

O presente trabalho propõe analisar a questão da Educação Básica através de discentes de graduação e pós-graduação Quilombolas da Universidade do Rio Grande – FURG, essa proposição ocorrerá pela metodologia de História Oral com coleta de dados que ocorrerá por depoimentos e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, buscando em  reminiscências de suas vivências estudantis no Ensino Fundamental e Médio e, também em espaços não formais de ensino, que trataram do ensino de História, especificamente da História do Negro no Brasil. Aproximando-se de completar quinze anos, a Lei nº 10.639/2013 que tornou obrigatório o Ensino de História da África, do Negro no Brasil e de Cultura Afro-Brasileira, é perceptível que a referida lei possibilitou a incorporação destas temáticas em documentos curriculares e livros didáticos, até então silenciada no país. Por outro lado, os esforços da implementação nos últimos anos tem demonstrado que apesar das atualizações normativas, até mesmo incluídas em várias agendas, ainda estamos longe de arrancá-las de certa invisibilidade e marginalidade. Examinaremos as relações entre Ensino de história, memória, consciência histórica, direcionando assim os processos mentais fundamentais, na perspectiva da produção de experienciação, interpretação e orientação, em forma de pensamento, identidade e sentido histórico através da narrativa. Temos a proposição de desencarcerar, reedificar e recuperar as lembranças de Inclusão da História da África e do Negro no Brasil, transcorrido nas histórias de vida e durante processo estudantil desses egressos na educação básica.

Authors: Santos Amanda Basilio
Published: February 2018

Este artigo pretende abordar o estado da questão dos estudos medievais que se dedicam à análise histórica do norte europeu no período medieval, assim como discutir o aprofundamento do entendimento destas regiões através da ampliação das fontes utilizadas pelos historiadores. Faremos um breve apanhado do desenvolvimento da historiografia europeia neste sentido, assim como discutiremos a ampliação do interesse dos pesquisadores brasileiros por esta área em questão nos últimos anos, destacando a criação de núcleos de pesquisas direcionados ao estudo do norte da Europa na Idade Média, em especial o NEVE (Núcleo de Estudos Vikings e Escandinavos) e o NEIBRAM (Núcleo de Estudos Interdisciplinares das Ilhas Britânicas: Antiguidade e Medievo).
Fagervikin kiinalaisen huvimajan kolme tulkintaa: Maisema, maku ja matka
Authors: Sivonen Seppo
Published: February 2018

Fagervikin ruukinkartanon maisemapuutarhaan 1780-luvulla rakennettu kiinalainen huvimaja on Suomessa edustavin esimerkki 1700-luvulla Euroopassa vallinneesta chinoiserie-muodista. Artikkelissaan Seppo Sivonen tarkastelee chinoiserien uusimman tutkimuksen näkökulmasta Fagervikin kiinalaisen huvimajan perustamista ja tehtävää 1700-luvun jälkipuoliskon maisemaestetiikassa, muuttuneissa makutottumuksissa ja kuvitteellisessa matkassa Kiinaan. Puutarhojen kiinalaisaiheet muistuttivat eurooppalaisten kauppa-komppanioiden kauppamatkoista Kiinaan ja tarjosivat toisaalta tilaisuuden mieli-kuvitukselliseen vaelteluun eksoottisessa idässä. Eri tulkinnat selittävät aiempaa moni-puolisemmin huvimajan rakentamisen motiiveja ja merkitystä Fagervikin ruukinomistajien elämänpiirissä. 

 

Interpretations of the Chinese pavilion of Fagervik – the landscape, taste and journey In the landscape garden of Fagervik Manor in Inkoo there is a Chinese pavilion built by lieutenant Mikael Hisinger in 1780’s. This article seeks to investigate how the ideas of a new landscape garden, principle of sharawagdi and mode of chinoiserie diffused to Fagervik by making use of  Everett Roger’s  theory of diffusion of innovations. Mikael Hisinger become acquainted with the ideas of landscape garden and chinoiserie during his study trip to Europe in the years 1783 - 84 and before that in his home manor. He received impulses to design a Chinese pavilion also from Sweden and indirectly from architect William Chambers from England. The article indicates that “Chinese-style” diverse landscape of Fagervik and chinoiserie was not only motives to build a Chinese pavilion. A new pavilion was a gift to Mikael Hisinger’s father Johan Hisinger who belonged to the wealthy Swedish merchant class. A journey to a new pavilion via a bridge or waterways linked him allegorically with Sweden’s international commercial networks and trade of Swedish East Indian Company.
Intangible investment in the EU and US before and since the Great Recession and its contribution to productivity growth
Authors: Corrado Carol , Haskel Jonathan , Jona-Lasinio Cecilia , Iommi Massimiliano
Published: February 2018

This paper uses a new cross-country cross-industry dataset on investment in tangible and intangible assets for 18 European countries and the US.  We set out a framework for measuring intangible investment and capital stocks and their effect on output, inputs and total factor productivity. The analysis provides evidence on the diffusion of intangible investment across Europe and the US over the years 2000-2013 and offers growth accounting evidence before and after the Great Recession in 2008-2009. Our major findings are the following. First, tangible investment fell massively during the Great Recession and has hardly recovered, whereas intangible investment has been relatively resilient and recovered fast in the US but lagged behind in the EU. Second, the sources of growth analysis including only national account intangibles (software, R&D, mineral exploration and artistic originals), suggest that capital deepening is the main driver of growth, with tangibles and intangibles accounting for 80% and 20% in the EU while both account for 50% in the US, over 2000-2013. Extending the asset boundary to the intangible assets not included in the national accounts (Corrado, Hulten and Sichel (2005)) makes capital deepening increase. The contribution of tangibles is reduced both in the EU and the US (60% and 40% respectively) while intangibles account for a larger share (40% in EU and 60% in the US). Then, our analysis shows that since the Great Recession, the slowdown in labour productivity growth has been driven by a decline in TFP growth with relatively a minor role for tangible and intangible capital. Finally, we document a significant correlation between stricter employment protection rules and less government investment in R&D, and a lower ratio of intangible to tangible investment.

The aviation industry is one of the most vulnerable industrial sectors to the crisis. Failure to manage the crisis they face can threaten their lives. Therefore, managers of airline companies are required to have the ability to manage crisis and communicate in crisis situations. Crisis communication strategy becomes an important part in crisis management. This study uses content analysis of the crisis communication strategies used by AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines in their respective aircraft accidents on December 28, 2014 and March 8, 2014. This research found that both companies were fast enough to respond to crises despite differences in strategy they use in responding the  crisis. AirAsia emphasizes the use of apology without ignoring compensating, while Malaysia Airlines emphasizes compensation without ignoring apology.

Povidone iodine is an antiseptic that is often used for wounds after tooth extraction, but is often debated because it can cause damage to cells and tissues. African leaf (Vernonia amygdalina Del.) from the family Asteraceae has saponins as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant flavonoids as that all may be able to accelerate wound healing. To investigate the activity of extracts of Vernonia amygdalina folia (VAF) to accelerate the process of wound healing after tooth extraction in rats. VAF extracted by maceration using methanol. Wistar male rats as much as 6 groups (n = 5 mice each group) performed tooth extractions, and then observed the reduction of gingival socket closure for 21 days after being given povidone iodine, distilled water and methanol extract group VAF by 4 concentration. The closure of the wound after tooth extraction in the group of povidone iodine rats occurred on the 8th day, the group aquadest cover the wound occurred on the 12th day, the extract group 1, 3, 5, 7% sequentially occur wound closure on day 6th, 5th, 4th and 4th. VAF methanol extract of the leaves can accelerate wound healing after tooth extraction of mice
