Published: November 2018

Among the various functions of the liver, the formation of bile plays an important role. The optimal physiological ratio of bile components and the content of testosterone in the blood depend on various factors that can cause biliary system dysfunction and secretion. In experiments on different-sex rats, changes in bile acid contents of bile under the influence of testosterone propionate, which was injected intramuscularly 0.7 mg/kg, for 5 days were investigated. With the method of thin-layer chromatography, the basic fractions of bile acids conjugated in the bile were defined – taurocholic, taurochenodeoxycholic and taurodeoxycholic, glycocholic, glycochenodeoxycholic and glycodeoxycholic and free – cholic, chenodeoxycholic and deoxycholic acids. Conjugation rates were calculated (the ratio of the sum of conjugated cholates to the amount of free ones) and hydroxylation (ratio of the sum of trihydroxycholate bile acids to the sum of dihydroxycholanic) bile acids. In the bile of female rats almost all concentrations of cholates increased, except glycochenodeoxycholic and glycodeoxycholic acids. The calculated conjugation index on the whole did not undergo significant changes, but the hydroxylation factor increased, which may indicate an intensification of bile acid biosynthesis by neutral means, which is realized by 7α-hydroxylation of cholesterol. Under the influence of the hormone in male rats, the content of conjugated bile acids increased, and as for the free ones – a multidirectional effect of testosterone is observed, in particular, the concentration of cholic acid significantly decreased, indicating the activation of the poly-enzyme systems providing its conjugation with glycine and taurine. In connection with the wide use of the drug testosterone propionate and in view of its identified effects on the bile acid contents of the course of intramuscular administration, it is advisable to investigate the effect of this drug on the productive capacity of the liver.
PR-activity of Ukrainian universities in social networks
Authors: Bakhmetieva A.
Published: November 2018

Scientific problem. The paper notes that the desire of Ukrainian universities to carry out PR-activities in social media is correlated with the tendencies of PR activity of European and American universities. However, the lack of specialists in digital communications (SMM) within the staff of universities makes it possible to characterize their activity in social media as being carried out without a clear definition of goals and using limited tools. Due to the lack of strategic planning, we observe low communication efficiency of using social media.

Novelty. The brand pages of Ukrainian universities in social networks are analyzed, quantitative characteristics and content topics are investigated. Recommendations are developed for improving the efficiency of communication and updating the style of content on the brand pages of universities in social networks.

Research methodology. The official accounts of Ukrainian classical and technical universities in social networks (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram) are discovered and analyzed the statistics of these pages. Based on the statistical data and the method of observation, brand pages of universities in social networks are defined in which are active and promising for the promotion of the communication strategy of universities, and which social networks have lost popularity among target audiences. In addition, the analysis of the contents of Facebook brand pages is done. The basic statistics is graphically presented in four tables, which allow comparing the PR activity of the universities in social media.

Results. For the effectiveness of PR in social media, it is necessary to increase the activity of followers, to distribute different content in the information and comment on the publications. It is proved that the lack of strategic planning of communicative activity in social networks negatively affects the results of both large PR campaigns and the effectiveness of communications for informational support of university activities. The main shortcomings in creating the content of the university's PR services and the main trends in writing messages in the Facebook news are revealed.

The practical significance. The detailed study of the PR-practice of the universities makes it possible to develop recommendations for increasing the effectiveness of promote brand pages in social networks.
Copywriting as an activity of online content creation
Authors: Blynova N. , Kyrylova O.
Published: November 2018

Copywriting is a relatively young text-making industry, which is becoming important with the development of the Global Network. Despite the great popularity and high economic efficiency, it has not acquired the systemic scientific coverage. Meanwhile, the scientific approach, the development of a proper conceptual apparatus, weighty methodological recommendations and generalizations are of necessity.Based on the existing scientific discourse, practical experience of copywriters, numerous texts presented in blogs of reputable content studios and advertising agencies, the authors come to a definite opinion and the concrete conclusions, stated in this paper.Modern media practice is inextricably linked with the content creation and SEO promotion. Journalists, PR-specialists, ordinary owners of online resources are daily faced with the problem of filling sites, their optimization for search engines and promotion. The Ukrainian and Russian segments of the Internet are filled with resources, the content of which duplicates each other, because it created using copy-paste technology. This situation contradicts the current legislation of Ukraine, violates ethical standards and reduces the effectiveness of online texts. The development of a comprehensive scientific and methodological framework will reduce the negative situation and will be useful for practicing copywriters. The activity should go beyond the limits of purely practical activities and acquire its scientific understanding.It uses the separation of the process of creating content for copywriting, rewriting, scanning, translation from other languages, copy-paste, synonymizing. According to the authors, such an approach is optimal for the current state of this activity. From the presented list, attention is focused on copywriting as the most promising technology for creating texts for websites. All types of copywriting available in UA and Runet (image, SEO, LSI-copywriting, SMM and writing texts that sell) are analyzed, and the main requirements for each of them are highlighted.

Applicable aspects of the use of internet marketing technologies in informational conflicts
Authors: Kurban O.
Published: November 2018

The methodology of the presented research is based on such general scientific methods as: synthesis, analysis of comparison, as well as applied ones: observation, modeling, forecasting. This methodological approach allows us to transfer the applied nature of the problem to the research area. The basic methodological basis of scientific research is applied materials and observations on actual cases (2014-2018).The course of the events of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which continues in the open format of the hybrid war since 2014, shows that traditional tools of modern Internet marketing can be used effectively enough to solve problems inherent in information confrontation. In particular, it concerns the implementation of the basic information process with such typical tasks as creation, distribution, storage and retrieval of information materials (so-called content). Directly in the article are considered such network tools as targeting (with key types), contextual advertising, methods for evaluating the effectiveness of CTR and mobile marketing (cellular communications, messengers). Specific facts are presented (in the format of applied cases) and the possibilities of their practical use are disclosed.The scientific novelty of the research is that for the first time, in the domestic scientific practice, the management of information processes in social online networks, within the framework of information warfare, is analyzed in the context of the use of typical Internet marketing tools.The results of the scientific research presented in the article make it possible to prepare the necessary methodological materials for training on the profile (in the relevant universities and specialized courses), to develop practical recommendations for specialized specialists, and to carry out further scientific (applied and theoretical) research in this direction.
Environmental Exposure to Endocrine Disruptor of Bisphenol A and Semen Quality of Men
Authors: Chigrinets Stanislav V. , Brukhin Gennady V.
Published: November 2018

Background: The reproductive health disorders in men are one of the urgent problems of international medicine. The prevalence of idiopathic male infertility has the highest rate. Oxidative stress, genetic factor, and endocrine disruptors are considered to be the most probable causes for the idiopathic male infertility. In this regard, studying the effect of endocrine disruptors, in particular bisphenol A on male reproductive health, becomes actual and relevant. Aims: The aim of the study was to reveal the relationship between the concentration level of bisphenol A (BPA) in seminal fluid and semen quality in men with normo- or pathozoospermia, as well as between the concentration level of bisphenol A and the level of total testosterone and estradiol in plasma. Materials and methods: 53 samples of seminal fluid of men with normo- or pathoospermia were studied. In seminal fluid the concentration of bisphenol A was determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The spermiological analysis was performed according to the WHO recommendations (2010) including the evaluation of sperm count/concentration, motility and morphology, and DNA fragmentation index. In addition, the concentration of total testosterone and estradiol in plasma was determined. The results were statistically processed using the Mann–Whitney U test, the correlation analysis, the paired regression method, and the ROC curves to determine the cut-off point for BPA in the seminal fluid. The results were considered statistically significant at p0.05. Results: In 100% of the ejaculate samples BPA with a median concentration of 0.15 (0.06–0.31) ng/ml was detected. Using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, statistically significant correlations between the concentration of BPA and the total count (r=-0.330, p=0.016), concentration (r=-0.309; p=0.024), the proportion of progressively motile spermatozoa (r=-0.575; p=0.001), the proportion of spermatozoa with normal morphology (r=-0.397, p=0.003), the degree of sperm DNA fragmentation (r=0.349, p=0.025), and the concentration of total testosterone (r =-0.616; p0.001) were registered. A statistically significant inverse linear relationship (r=-0.406, p=0.003) and (r =-0.364, p=0.048) was determined by a paired linear regression between the BPA concentration in the seminal fluid and the proportion of progressively motile spermatozoa, and the total testosterone level respectively. To assess the risk of pathozoospermia, the threshold value of seminal BPA concentration was determined using the analysis of ROC-curves; the cut-off point was 0.1025 ng/ml. Conclusions: BPA in the seminal fluid influences negatively on the quality of the sperm and suppress the level of total testosterone in plasma.

“Бархатная революция” в Армении: потенциал, достижения и риски политико- протестной активности
Authors: Атанесян Артур
Published: November 2018

Тематика статьи сфокусирована на анализе протестной активности граждан Армении в апреле-мае 2018 г., приведшей к смене политических элит и провозглашению новыми элитами ряда направлений модернизации преимущественно внутренней политики Армении, включая борьбу с авторитаризмом, коррупцией и монополизацией экономики страны при прежней власти. Автор считает данные процессы закономерными и связанными с рядом объективных факторов, предшествовавших данным событиям, а также их восприятием в общественном сознании. В частности, институционализация механизмов формирования и циркуляции ресурса политической власти внутри единой политико-олигархической элиты привела к консервативной стагнации в экономике, что, в свою очередь, усугубило проблемы безработицы, бедности и, как следствие, массовой эмиграции. Политический дискурс касательно данных вопросов в СМИ и виртуальных социальных сетях в виду сравнительно высокого уровня свободы слова в Армении способствовал аккумуляции протестного потенциала и его реализации через массовые политические протесты последних лет. Накопленный опыт протестной активности также способствовал осуществлению событий весны 2018 г. Статья основана на включенном наблюдении автором динамики и моделей участия населения в протестах в апреле-мае 2018 г. Кроме того, источниками информации по описанию событий весны 2018 г. в Армении послужил анализ массива публикаций и дискуссий в социальных сетях, сопутствовавших протестам, а также интервью с представителями различных социальных слоев общества, армянскими экспертами – политологами, социологами, этнографами, историками и журналистами – в процессе событий. С целью выявления потенциала протестного политического участия населения Армении, предшествовавшего массовым протестам весной 2018 г., был проведен вторичный анализ результатов социологических опросов касательно уровня недовольства населения политикой властей по решению актуальных внутриполитических проблем. Автор предпринимает попытку дать экспертную оценку причин данных протестов, их форм проявления, а также особенностей коммуникативных и поведенческих моделей участников. В статье выявляются некоторые дисфункции протестной и особенно послепротестной ситуации, а также риски, связанные с формированием и развитием неблагоприятной информационной среды вокруг интерпретации событий весны 2018 г. в СМИ.
Муниципалитет vs регион: борьба за власть и самоуправление в Ногайском районе Дагестана
Authors: Адиев Асланбек , Цибенко Вероника
Published: November 2018

Весной–летом 2017 г. в Ногайском районе Дагестана прошли акции местной общественности против вмешательства региональных (дагестанских) властей в вопросы местного самоуправления – выборы главы муниципального образования. Представители региональной власти, используя процедуру конкурсного отбора кандидатов на пост главы муниципального образования, пытались повлиять на исход выборной кампании. Привычная для многих субъектов Российской Федерации логика государственно-муниципальных отношений, характеризуемая значительной политической зависимостью органов местного самоуправления от региональных властей, нарушилась. Представители региональной власти встретили серьезное сопротивление со стороны депутатов местного представительного органа и лоббируемых ими кандидатов на пост главы района, поддерживаемых политически активной частью жителей Ногайского района Дагестана. На эскалацию конфликта между “муниципалами” и “регионалами” повлиял эффект периферийного, этнически однородного муниципалитета Ногайского района Дагестана, что позволило аккумулировать мобилизационный потенциал этничности ногайцев против административного ресурса, использованного региональными властями на этапе конкурсного отбора кандидатов на пост главы района. По мере развития конфликта между представителями муниципальной и региональной властей происходила этнополитическая мобилизация ногайцев, проживающих в других регионах России. Свою солидарность с соплеменниками в связи с событиями, происходящими в муниципальном районе Дагестана, выразили ногайцы, проживающие в других субъектах РФ, а также представители ногайской диаспоры в Казахстане. Урегулированию ситуации во многом способствовало вмешательство аппарата Полномочного представителя Президента РФ в СКФО в качестве арбитра с позиций приоритетности обеспечения гражданского единства и интересов национальной безопасности РФ. В данной работе на основе событийного анализа борьбы за власть и протестов в Ногайском районе Дагестана сделана попытка осмыслить роль этничности в региональном политическом процессе и проанализировать перспективы деполитизации этничности на Северном Кавказе.
Историзм и априоризм: политико-аналитическая ретроспектива Русской революции
Authors: Хорос Владимир
Published: November 2018

Статья инициирована авторской рефлексией по прочтении серии статей, посвященных столетию годовщины Октябрьской революции 1917 г. в России и опубликованных в специальном выпуске журнала “История и современность” (2017, № 2). Эти статьи в целом отражают отношение к данному крупному историческому событию как в российском обществе, так и в академических кругах. Здесь можно выделить два основных подхода. В первом случае признается, что к революции привели прежде всего объективные факторы, которые в значительной мере были уже выявлены предшествующей историографией. Для второго подхода характерен поиск новых интерпретаций, причем обосновывающих негативный взгляд на 2017 г. При этом зачастую нарушается принцип историзма, т.е. понимания, почему акторы в специфических условиях прошлого мыслили и действовали так, а не иначе, и только после этого и на основании этого возможна их научная и моральная оценка. Характеристика Октябрьской революции во многом зависит от отношения к ее результатам, советской эпохе российской истории. Автор предлагает свой взгляд на советский период в контексте общемировой эволюции социализма. Главная идея состоит в том, чтобы понимать советский социализм как многосторонний феномен, который нельзя сводить лишь к негативным аспектам. Такой же подход необходим и по отношению к революции(ям) 1917 года.
Россия в мире XXI столетия: свершения и надежды
Authors: Лукин Владимир , Ознобищев Сергей
Published: November 2018

Статья является откликом на вышедшую в свет фундаментальную работу ряда видных специалистов МГИМО МИД России “Внешняя политика России (1991-2016)”, выполненную под руководством академика А. Торкунова. Авторы статьи продолжают и развивают содержащийся в книге всесторонний анализ внешней политики России на основных направлениях. Констатируя факт “кончины” биполярного и несостоятельность однополярного мира под эгидой единственной страны – США, авторы предостерегают против эйфории происходящего в наше время перехода к миру многополюсному. Они указывают на ухудшение управляемости нарождающегося миропорядка, появление в нем, на фоне сохранения традиционных, также и новых угроз миру и безопасности. При этом снижаются возможности и уровень координации государств по борьбе с ними. Особую озабоченность вызывает банализация отношения “политического класса” ряда стран к проблеме применимости ядерного оружия, возрождение обманчивой уверенности в возможности управления эскалацией при его применении. Глубокую тревогу вызывает состояние контроля над вооружениями, который находится в тупике. На этом фоне утверждается влияние и рост значимости России и Китая, которые нацелены на пересмотр, ревизию сложившегося соотношения сил в мире. На пространстве бывшего СССР и с участием новых независимых государств возникают международные объединения, которые в перспективе должны работать во взаимодействии с соответствующими институтами западных стран. Нынешнее обострение отношений между Россией и странами Запада, в особенности – между Москвой и Вашингтоном, серьезно подрывает возможности по упрочению нового миропорядка, снижает вероятность укрепления безопасности в мире. Однако ориентация российской политики только на восточное направление ослабит ее конкурентные позиции в мире. Дальнейший рост конфронтации не отвечает долгосрочным интересам ключевых участников мирового процесса.

Authors: Jadhav Pranav , Raut Sanjay , Kashyap Manish Kumar , Bora Riddhi Ajay
Published: November 2018

Background: Empyema is the suppuration within the pleural cavity, most commonly a complication of acute bacterial pneumonia. It is one of the most common diseases in children in India. Prognosis is excellent, provided appropriate treatment is administered early in the course of the disease.Methods: This study examines treatment of complex empyema thoracis between June 1, 2016, and April 30, 2018. Total number of patients were 30 cases in open thoracotomy and 30 in VATS in treatment of their disease. Effusion etiology was distributed as follows: infectious, neoplastic-associated, traumatic.Results: A total of 30 patients underwent VATS debridement and open thoracotomy for treatment of empyema thoracis. The median postoperative hospital stay was 10.31±3.751 days in case of VATS and 4.41±1.593 days in case of open thoracotomy. Median estimated blood loss in case of VATS was 78±15.634 ml and in case of open thoracotomy was 15.97±5.871 ml. Mean operative time was 82.86±17.293 minutes in case VATS and 77.59±13.38 minutes in case of open thoracotomy.Conclusions: VATS might be comparable or even better than open thoracotomy in terms of operative time, postoperative hospital stay, chest tube duration, prolonged air leak rate, morbidity and mortality. But referring to the relapse rate, there was no statistical significance.

Authors: Chappidi Mounica , Chidambaram Priyadarshini , Sivananjiah Shalini , Somanna Shivaraj Nallur
Published: November 2018

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the commonest metabolic disorder with prevalence of 8.3% in India. The prognosis largely depends on complications seen in natural course of illness. Stringent adherence to self-care activities is a mandatory step in management of T2DM. Hence, this study was done to assess non-adherence to foot-care activities among patients with T2DM for associated factors and also to report findings of foot examination among non-adherent participants.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban area of Bengaluru. Using multi-stage sampling, 400 people with T2DM aged ≥18 years were selected. A pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information regarding non-adherence to foot-care activities and foot examination was done for all the participants.Results: Though all the participants were aware regarding the foot-care activities, 86.7% of participants were not adherent. Females and those with lower monthly income had 2.91 and 3.47 significantly higher odds of being non-adherent to foot-care activities, respectively.Conclusions: The prevalence of non-adherence to foot-care activities among people with T2DM was observed to be high. Hence, more importance should be given to motivate people with T2DM in their follow-up visits regarding adherence to foot-care activities to avoid occurrence of complications.

Authors: De Lima Coutinho Maria da Penha , Costa Filho José Andrade , De Oliveira Ana Raquel
Published: November 2018

This study aimed to verify what has been published in the national and international context regarding the association of masculinity and prostate cancer. In order to do so, a systematic review of the literature was carried out using the descriptors “masculinity” and “prostate cancer”, in the PsycINFO, Portal of Capes, Scielo, Ebsco, BVS-PSI and LILACS bases, considering the last five years (2013 to 2017). Twenty-two studies were selected. The results on the association of prostate cancer and masculinity were grouped into three categories: impact on sexual functionality, repercussions on the identity and development of overcoming strategies. It was realized that sociocultural factors, such as gender stereotypes, beliefs and values that contribute to the definition of masculinity, may interfere with the implementation of health care practices. It is necessary professional and structural qualification of the health equipment to deal with the subjective and cultural masculine aspects. It is also important to deconstructthe barriers that keep men away from health services. Results are expected to reaffirm the importance of psychosocial interventions that prioritize improvement in the quality of life of the man.

Published: November 2018

Objective: To develop and implement an online Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that provides the probability of a subject having mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Method: Different ANNs were trained using a sample of 350 controls (CONT), 75 MCI and 93 AD subjects. The ANN structure chosen was the following: (1) an input layer of 33 cognitive variables from the Neuronorma battery plus two sociodemographic variables, age and education. This layer was reduced to a 15 features input vector using Multiple Discriminant Analysis method, (2) one hidden layer with 8 neurons, and (3) three output neurons corresponding to the 3 expected cognitive states. This ANN was defined in a previous study [28]. The ANN was implemented on the web site www.test-barcelona.com (Test Barcelona Workstation) [9].
Results: When comparing CONT, MCI and AD participants, the best ANN correctly classifies up to 94,87% of the study participants.
Conclusions: The online implemented ANN, delivers the probabilities (%) of belonging to the CONT, MCI and AD groups of a subject assessed using the 35 characteristics (variables) of the Neuronorma profile. This tool is a good complement for the interpretation of cognitive profiles. This technology improves clinical decision making.

A qualidade das sementes é um dos aspectos mais importantes para se alcançar o sucesso da lavoura. Nesse sentindo, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a qualidade fisiológica e sanitária de sete cultivares de pimentão (Capsicum annuum L.) comercializadas em Santarém, Pará. As sementes foram distribuídas, equidistantemente, em caixas plásticas do tipo gerbox® contendo papel filtro esterilizado e umedecido, e mantidas a ± 25ºC durante 14 dias com fotoperíodo de 12h. Foram avaliados a germinação, o número de plântulas normais e anormais aos sete e 14 dias, índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG) e incidência de fungos sobre as sementes. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, sendo 50 sementes por repetição, perfazendo um total de 1400 sementes avaliadas. Todos os lotes das cultivares de pimentão avaliados exibiram baixo vigor, considerando-se a baixa porcentagem de plântulas normais resultantes. Os lotes das cultivares All Big, Amarelo SF 134, Quadrado Vermelho e Rubi Gigante apresentaram germinação dentro dos padrões informados pelos fabricantes. Nas sementes de Amarelo SF 134 e Itapuã 501 observou-se 100% de incidência fúngica, sendo identificados os gêneros Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium e Rhizopus. Itapuã 501 apresentou o pior desempenho fisiológico e sanitário dentre os lotes das cultivares avaliadas. Considerando-se a baixa porcentagem de plântulas normais resultantes, os lotes das cultivares de pimentão avaliados nesse trabalho poderiam comprometer o estande inicial do plantio. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Capsicum annuum, Germinação, Patologia de sementes, Vigor.

Os mixosporídios são parasitos celulares encontrados nos diversos órgãos dos peixes de água doce ou estuarinos. Este grupo é economicamente importante por ser causador de doenças em inúmeros peixes, incluindo aqueles de valor comercial. Kudoa é destaque neste grupo por causar mioliquefação pós-mortem no pescado tornando-os impróprios para o consumo humano e, por isso, o conhecimento acerca deste gênero é de extrema importância. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever e caracterizar morfologicamente ogênero Kudoa Meglitsch, 1947 encontrado na musculatura esquelética em Genyatremus luteus. Foram coletados 22 espécimes de Genyatremus luteus, no município de São Caetano de Odivelas, nordeste paraense.  Após a captura, os animais foram acondicionados em sacos plásticos com aeração artificial e transportados vivos ao Laboratório de Pesquisa Carlos Azevedo (LPCA), na Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia, onde foram mantidos em aquários. Os animais foram anestesiados, sacrificados e, posteriormente, necropsiados para avaliação em microscopia de luz (ML). Fragmentos de musculatura esquelética foram retirados e esporos isolados, tetracapsulados, com corpo quadrangular ou pseudoquadrangular, determinantes do gênero Kudoa foram encontrados. Estes fragmentos contendo parasitos foram colhidos e fixados, desidratados, diafanizados e impregnados em parafina liquida. Foi realizado corte histológico e coloração em H&E, permitindo evidenciar a formação cística no interior e entre as fibras musculares. Estudos complementares estão sendo realizados para identificação da espécie encontrada, a fim de aumentar o conhecimento sobre o estado de sanidade dos peixes da região Amazônica no estado do Pará. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Genyatremus luteus, Mioliquefação pós-mortem, Myxozoa.

A utilização de modelos de taper possibilita a estimativa do número de toras e seus respectivos volumes, de acordo com a destinação da madeira. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi ajustar modelos de taper e estimar a partir destes, o número de toras de mogno africano (Khaya ivorensis A. Chev.) geradas em sistemas agroflorestais em Belterra, Pará. A coleta de dados para elaboração deste estudo se deu em dois sistemas agroflorestais no município de Belterra, onde cubou-se 35 árvores em cada um dos locais. Foram ajustados 3 modelos de taper para os dois sistemas, o melhor modelo foi escolhido através de estatísticas de qualidade do ajuste e tomado para utilização na estimativa sortimento dos multiprodutos das árvores. Para o sortimento, estabeleceu-se três classes de dimensões das toras de acordo com a utilização, sendo: C1 = Tora para energia com diâmetro na ponta fina maior ou igual a 15 cm e 2 metros de comprimento; C2 = Tora para serraria com diâmetro na ponta fina maior ou igual a 20 cm e 2 metros de comprimento; C3 = Tora para serraria com diâmetro na ponta fina maior ou igual a 25 cm e 2 metros de comprimento. O modelo de Kozak foi o que apresentou o melhor desempenho para estimativa do afilamento do fuste, com a raiz quadrada do erro médio (RQEM%) inferior nos dois locais. Quanto ao sortimento, os sistemas estudados podem geram de 47 a 163 toras de madeira, de acordo com o cenário e o local, sendo a utilização para fins de energia a que confere maior volume efetivamente utilizado.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Agrossilvicultura, Manejo florestal, Volumetria.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar as evidências de validação de um curso de Suporte Básico de Vida na modalidade Ensino a Distância para acadêmicos e profissionais de saúde de um Hospital Universitário. A pesquisa é do tipo metodológica, quantitativa, e utiliza referencial teórico da teoria psicométrica de Pasquali. Este estudo compreendeu duas etapas: construção e validação do conteúdo de três ferramentas: instrumento de avaliação de conhecimento em suporte básico de vida (ACSBV), conteúdo do curso de Suporte Básico de Vida (CSBV) e roteiro do jogo educativo simulado de Suporte Básico de Vida (JESBV). A amostra para validação do instrumento de avaliação do conhecimento foi composta por 29 juízes, e seis juízes para o curso e o roteiro do jogo. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre agosto/setembro de 2016. O estudo teve a aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes, sob o Parecer nº 1.709.004 e CAAE: 58511516.0.0000.5292. O ACSBV continha 13 questões. Na validação do ACSBV, 18 sugestões foram acatadas, 3 rejeitadas e 12, e, após análise de valores de IVC e Kappa, serviram de orientação para a exclusão de três questões. O instrumento final continha com 10 questões e obteve IVC de 0,95 e K de 0,81. No processo de validação do CSBV, das 16 sugestões realizadas, 14 foram acatadas e apenas 2 rejeitadas. Quanto ao JESBV, foi desenvolvido em 13 telas, entre as quais 9 apresentaram conteúdos de SBV, e as demais orientações gerais para o avançar do jogo. A elaboração do roteiro priorizou a complexidade gradativa dos conhecimentos em SBV, com cuidados minuciosos na organização dos textos e na proposta das animações. Das cinco sugestões realizadas, todas foram acatadas, sendo a maioria relacionada aos requisitos de organização, clareza e vocabulário, portanto, nenhum item foi considerado inadequado. O desenvolvimento de todas as ferramentas que compõem o Curso de Suporte Básico de Vida (CSBV) em EaD, apesar de ter se mostrado um processo complexo e desafiador, é válido para apoiar o ensino de urgência, nessa temática, para acadêmicos e profissionais de saúde.

Metodologia: Foram utilizadas a análise documental e a aplicação de uma ferramenta de autoavaliação elaborada a partir do instrumento de Autoavaliação do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (AMAQ/AB). Os sujeitos foram os Agentes Comunitários de Saúde de uma Unidade da Estratégia de Saúde da Família do Município de Natal (RN). A construção dos dados ocorreram durante três momentos: sensibilização e apresentação dos relatórios consolidados do Programa Bolsa Família, leitura e aplicação do instrumento de autoavaliação e análise dos resultados. Resultados: Os achados foram consonantes com os relatórios consolidados do Sistema de Informação do Programa Bolsa Família. Apresentou um instrumento pertinente de autoavaliação com potencial de ampliação nas demais unidades de saúde para auxiliar a gestão local no monitoramento das condicionalidades da saúde. Conclusões: A vivência contribuiu para aumentar o conhecimento dos participantes para a reflexão sobre seus processos de trabalho e para o aprimoramento de habilidades e competências auto avaliativas. Apontou a necessidade de realização de estudos complementares de natureza qualitativa para aprofundamento dos aspectos abordados.Palavras-chave: Programas de Autoavaliação; Programa Bolsa Família; Estratégia Saúde da Família.
REVIEWING LEXICOLOGY OF THE NUSANTARA LANGUAGE
Authors: Sharifudin Mohd Yusop
Published: November 2018

The strength of a language is its ability to reveal all human behaviour and progress of civilization. Language should be ready for use at all times and in any human activity and must be able to grow together with all forms of discipline and knowledge. Languages that are not dynamic over time will become obsolete, archaic and finally extinct. Accordingly, the effort to develop and create a civilisation needs to take into account also the effort to expand its language as the medium of instruction. The most basic language development in this regard was to look for vocabulary that could potentially be taken to develope a dynamic language. This paper shows the potential and the wealth of lexical resources in building the Nusantara language to become a world language.

Educação Infantil e o protagonismo da criança: diferentes cenários
Authors: Brostolin Marta Regina
Published: November 2018

A infância caracteriza-se como uma categoria histórica e social. A estrutura da sociedade, as condições de vida e de inserção da criança em cada contexto social, econômico, político e cultural é que vão tecer as diferentes concepções de infância e as diversas formas de ser criança. A partir dessa perspectiva, o presente texto resultante de uma revisão de literatura, tem por objetivo refletir e discutir a trajetória, políticas públicas e  legislação referentes ao  atendimento à criança no percurso da história num primeiro cenário. No segundo trata a criança como um sujeito de direitos, protagonista e ator social  que produz e reproduz cultura e, no terceiro cenário aborda a Base Nacional Comum Curricular da Educação Infantil  fazendo uma breve contextualização do momento atual pelo qual a educação brasileira passa. Conclui-se que para além das políticas de  educação infantil é importante pensar em outras políticas quando se trata do  atendimento integral a criança e, aqui se inclui aspectos relacionados não só à educação, como também, à saúde, à cultura e à proteção, o que torna necessária a interlocução, com outras áreas dos serviços públicos e outras ações que não são específicas da educação.
¿Debe el planeamiento territorial hacer algo en materia de Integración Transfronteriza?
Authors: Marchant Miranda Carolina
Published: November 2018

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto indagar sobre los procesos de integración transfronterizos y el rol que en ellos juega la planificación territorial. Se observó que los esfuerzos integracionistas, ya sea, en procesos macro regionales o, en programas micro nacionales, no alcanzan la eficiencia ni eficacia deseada y la planificación urbanística, no juega un rol protagonista en ellos. Haciendo uso de una metodología cualitativa, el estudio fue circunscrito a Chile, comenzando por una contextualización histórica y actual de las fronteras del país, una revisión del tratamiento normativo y de las políticas de integración transfronteriza en las que participa el Estado, a nivel regional (UNASUR) y a nivel nacional, mediante los Comités de Integración Fronteriza. Posteriormente, se efectúa un análisis comparativo con procesos internacionales de integración transnacional, para luego, hacer una evaluación DAFO de los mismos, extrayéndose un listado de buenas y malas prácticas. Finalmente, se analiza un caso de estudio, que comprende la zona norte de Chile y Argentina, el cual permite corroborar la hipótesis y observar sobre la infrautilización del planeamiento territorial en materia de integración transfronteriza. Se concluye con una propuesta, en la que esta disciplina adquiere un rol más preponderante en los procesos de integración existentes.AbstractThe present paper has the objective to inquire about the processes of cross - border integration and the role of territorial planning has in them. It was observed that the integrationist efforts, either in macro regional processes or in micro-national programs, do not reach the desired efficiency and effectiveness and urban planning, does not play a leading role in them. Using a qualitative methodology, the study was circumscribed to Chile, starting with a historical and current contextualization of the country's borders, a review of the normative treatment and integration policies in which the State participates, at the regional level (UNASUR) and at the national level, through the Border Integration Committees. Subsequently, a comparative analysis is carried out with international processes of transnational integration, then, to make a SWOT evaluation of the same, extracting a list of positives and negatives practices. Finally, a case study, which includes the northern Chilean and Argentinean areas, is analyzed, which allows the corroboration of the hypothesis and concluding with the underutilization of territorial planning in the area of cross - border integration. It concludes with a proposal, in which this discipline acquires a more preponderant role in the existing integration processes.
Evaluasi Kinerja Bagan Kendali Fm Pada Proses Short-Run

The manufacturing production process that is currently trend is short-run. Short-run process is a job shop and a just in-time. These causes the process parameters to be unknown due to unavailability of data and generally a small amount of product. The control chart is one of the control charts which  designed for the short run. The procedure of the control chart follows the concept of succesive difference and under the assumption of the multivariate Normal distribution. The sensitivity level of a control chart is evaluated based on the average run length (ARL) value. In this study, the ARL value was calculated based on the shift simulation of the average vector by recording the first m-point out of the control limits. The average vector shift simulation of the target () is performed simultaneously with the properties of a positive shift (=+ δ). Variations of data size and many variables in this study were m = 20, 50 and p = 2, 4, 8, respectively. Each scheme (a combination of δ, m and p) is iterated 250,000 times. The simulation results show that for all schemes when both parameters are known ARL0 ≈ 370. But, when parameters are unknown, ARL1 turn to smaller. This conclusion also implied when the number of p and n are increased, it reduce the sensitivity of the control chart.
