The Whiteness of Redmen: Indigenous Mascots, Social media and an Antiracist Intervention
Authors: McLean Sheelah , Wilson Alex , Lee Erica
Published: July 2017

Resistance to the use of Indigenous themed mascots in North America has taken a variety of forms over the past several decades. This paper describes and analyses how a new vehicle for resistance, social media, can be integral to dismantling and eradicating racist images of Indigenous peoples. Specifically, this paper focusses on one campaign that questioned a high school sports mascot and team named the “Redmen”. By using examples from social media, the authors demonstrate how White settlers came to rely on the mascot imagery as a way to position themselves as superior and to regulate representations of Indigeneity. The authors’ analysis posits that the mascot is in itself a form of racialised colonial violence and they discuss how the name and mascot were protected by and through white settler surveillance and control. To intervene in this discourse of superiority and regulation, the paper describes how an anti-racist approach was used to design a social media campaign that built mass critical consciousness and a network of support within the community. The social media campaign coincided with and rallied support from the grassroots Indigenous Movement, Idle No More. The larger joint effort strategically and effectively redirected the public and critical focus to how the “Redmen” name and logo and other racist Indigenous mascots become normalised. Increased knowledge via social media catalysed a shift in public opinion which ultimately leads to retirement of the team name, logo and mascot.
Development of SSR markers from transcriptomes for Orinus (Poaceae), an endemic of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Liu Yu‐Ping , Su Xu , Luo Wen‐Chun , Lv Ting , Chen Ke‐Long , Harris AJ , Shah Sayed Afzal
Published: July 2017

Premise of the study:

Transcriptomes were used to develop microsatellite markers for the plant genus Orinus (Poaceae), which comprises three species of grasses (O. thoroldii, O. kokonoricus, and O. intermedius) that are widely distributed in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.

Methods and Results:

Primer pairs were developed for 16 high‐quality simple sequence repeats (SSRs) using transcriptomes. SSRs were amplified in 248 individuals representing the three species of Orinus; the number of alleles per locus ranged from one to seven, with an average of 2.6. The expected and observed heterozygosity per locus varied from 0.00 to 0.83 and from 0.00 to 1.00, respectively, with respective mean values of 0.32 and 0.34.

Conclusions:

These newly developed SSR markers will be valuable for evaluating the population genetic structure of Orinus throughout its range.
The Curiously Warped Mean Plane of the Kuiper Belt
Authors: Volk Kathryn , Malhotra Renu
Published: July 2017

We measured the mean plane of the Kuiper Belt as a function of semimajor axis. For the classical Kuiper Belt as a whole (the nonresonant objects in the semimajor axis range 42–48 au), we find a mean plane of inclination

and longitude of ascending node

(in the J2000 ecliptic-equinox coordinate system), in accord with theoretical expectations of the secular effects of the known planets. With finer semimajor axis bins, we detect a statistically significant warp in the mean plane near semimajor axes 40–42 au. Linear secular theory predicts a warp near this location due to the

nodal secular resonance; however, the measured mean plane for the 40.3–42 au semimajor axis bin (just outside the

) is inclined

to the predicted plane, a nearly 3σ discrepancy. For the more distant Kuiper Belt objects of semimajor axes in the range 50–80 au, the expected mean plane is close to the invariable plane of the solar system, but the measured mean plane deviates greatly from this: it has inclination

and longitude of ascending node

. We estimate this deviation from the expected mean plane to be statistically significant at the ∼97%–99% confidence level. We discuss several possible explanations for this deviation, including the possibility that a relatively close-in (

au), unseen, small planetary-mass object in the outer solar system is responsible for the warping.
Numerical Study on Outflows in Seyfert Galaxies I: Narrow Line Region Outflows in NGC 4151
Authors: Mou Guobin , Wang Tinggui , Yang Chenwei
Published: July 2017

The origin of narrow line region (NLR) outflows remains unknown. In this paper, we explore the scenario in which these outflows are circumnuclear clouds driven by energetic accretion disk winds. We choose the well-studied nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 as an example. By performing 3D hydrodynamical simulations, we are able to reproduce the radial distributions of velocity, mass outflow rate, and kinetic luminosity of NLR outflows in the inner 100 pc deduced from spatial resolved spectroscopic observations. The demanded kinetic luminosity of disk winds is about two orders of magnitude higher than that inferred from the NLR outflows, but is close to the ultrafast outflows (UFO) detected in the X-ray spectrum and a few times lower than the bolometric luminosity of the Seyfert. Our simulations imply that the scenario is viable for NGC 4151. The existence of the underlying disk winds can be confirmed by their impacts on higher density ISM, e.g., shock excitation signs, and the pressure in NLR.
Solar Active Region Coronal Jets. II. Triggering and Evolution of Violent Jets
Authors: Sterling Alphonse C. , Moore Ronald L. , Falconer David A. , Panesar Navdeep K. , Martinez Francisco
Published: July 2017

We study a series of X-ray-bright, rapidly evolving active region coronal jets outside the leading sunspot of AR 12259, using Hinode/X-ray telescope, Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) data. The detailed evolution of such rapidly evolving “violent” jets remained a mystery after our previous investigation of active region jets. The jets we investigate here erupt from three localized subregions, each containing a rapidly evolving (positive) minority-polarity magnetic-flux patch bathed in a (majority) negative-polarity magnetic-flux background. At least several of the jets begin with eruptions of what appear to be thin (thickness

) miniature-filament (minifilament) “strands” from a magnetic neutral line where magnetic flux cancelation is ongoing, consistent with the magnetic configuration presented for coronal-hole jets in Sterling et al. (2016). Some jets strands are difficult/impossible to detect, perhaps due to, e.g., their thinness, obscuration by surrounding bright or dark features, or the absence of erupting cool-material minifilaments in those jets. Tracing in detail the flux evolution in one of the subregions, we find bursts of strong jetting occurring only during times of strong flux cancelation. Averaged over seven jetting episodes, the cancelation rate was

Mx hr−1. An average flux of

Mx canceled prior to each episode, arguably building up ∼1028–1029 erg of free magnetic energy per jet. From these and previous observations, we infer that flux cancelation is the fundamental process responsible for the pre-eruption build up and triggering of at least many jets in active regions, quiet regions, and coronal holes.
Saraswati: An Extremely Massive ∼200 Megaparsec Scale Supercluster
Authors: Bagchi Joydeep , Sankhyayan Shishir , Sarkar Prakash , Raychaudhury Somak , Jacob Joe , Dabhade Pratik
Published: July 2017

Here we report the discovery of an extremely massive and large supercluster (called Saraswati5) found in the Stripe 82 region of SDSS. This supercluster is a major concentration of galaxies and galaxy clusters, forming a wall-like structure spanning at least 200 Mpc across at redshift

. This enormous structure is surrounded by a network of galaxy filaments, clusters, and large, ∼40–170 Mpc diameter, voids. The mean density contrast δ (relative to the background matter density of the universe) of Saraswati is ≳1.62 and the main body of the supercluster comprises at least 43 massive galaxy clusters (mean z = 0.28) with a total mass of

. The spherical collapse model suggests that the central region of radius ∼20 Mpc and mass at least

may be collapsing. This places it among the few largest and most massive superclusters known, comparable to the most massive “Shapley Concentration” (

) in the nearby universe. The Saraswati supercluster and its environs reveal that some extreme large-scale, prominent matter density enhancements formed ∼4 Gyr in the past when dark energy had just started to dominate structure formation. This galactic concentration sheds light on the role of dark energy and cosmological initial conditions in supercluster formation, and tests the competing cosmological models.

Madelung’s Disease – Case Series and Treatment by Tumescent Liposuction or Lipectomy
Authors: Wollina Uwe , Heinig Birgit
Published: July 2017

Madelung disease is a disfiguring disorder belonging to the heterogeneous group of lipomatosis. The aetiology is not well understood, but alcohol consumption has been regarded as of importance. The reported incidence is about 1 in 25,000 inhabitants. We reviewed our files of the last ten years and identified eight adult patients with an equal gender distribution. Their age was between 60 and 85 years of life. Comorbidities are frequent. Clinical presentation may vary. Surgical treatment is reported and discussed. Both cold steel surgery and tumescent liposuction have their place in treatment.
Analyse micro-économétrique des acquis scolaires en lecture au Maroc
Authors: Ibourk Aomar
Published: July 2017

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les déterminants des acquis scolaires en lecture au Maroc. Basés sur les données de PIRLS 1  (2011) et sur les régressions quantiles, les résultats montrent la faiblesse de la qualité des apprentissages en lecture. Les traits majeurs de notre recherche montrent d’une part un clivage énorme entre les zones rurales et urbaines d’une part et un gouffre encore plus béant entre le système public et privé d’autant plus que ces différences ne sont pas ressenties de la même manière chez les élèves. Cette double dualité illustre clairement que le système éducatif marocain est une juxtaposition d’un marché « catégoriel » plutôt qu’un marché « unifié ». Les résultats du modèle montrent que les caractéristiques des élèves, leur environnement familial et le contexte scolaire sont des déterminants clés de ces performances.
Rôle et responsabilités des hauts dirigeants face aux changements climatiques : réflexions à partir du cas de BP
Authors: Gendron Corinne , Girard Bernard , Ivanaj Silvester , Ivanaj Vera , Friser Alice
Published: July 2017

Alors que l’on assiste à une exploitation colossale des combustibles fossiles conventionnels, que penser des discours engagés des plus grosses entreprises pétrolières et gazières contre le réchauffement climatique ? C’est cette ambiguïté que cherche à expliquer cet article en s’intéressant à la manière dont les hauts dirigeants envisagent leurs responsabilités de manière générale, mais aussi plus particulièrement face aux changements climatiques. Pour ce faire, l’article met en parallèle l’image publique de la compagnie British Petroleum (BP) suite à sa campagne Beyond Petroleum , les discours de son dirigeant à la veille de la tragédie survenue sur la plateforme Deepwater Horizon en 2010, et les éléments marquants de la gestion de cet événement dramatique. Il ressort de cette analyse que l’élan social et environnemental du haut dirigeant se heurte à la configuration actuelle de l’entreprise selon laquelle ce dernier ne doit réellement être responsable qu’envers l’actionnaire. C’est donc chez ce dernier que des solutions pourraient se profiler.
La volonté de compter : carbone, conventions de calcul et référentiels de comptabilisation
Authors: Le Breton Morgane
Published: July 2017

La comptabilité carbone s’est développée depuis les années 1990 et, avec elle, plusieurs outils tels que le Bilan Carbone (français) et le GHG Protocol (anglo-saxon). Si l’objectif est toujours de recenser les émissions de gaz à effet de serre d’une entité, les conventions de calcul sur lesquelles reposent ces outils dépendent de la modélisation imaginée par leurs concepteurs. L’article retrace historiquement la construction de ces deux principaux outils en mettant en scène les acteurs qui sont intervenus dans leur conception, les débats que cette construction a soulevés et les modifications apparues successivement dans leur identité. L’article montre en particulier que le Bilan Carbone relève plutôt d’une logique ingéniérique, tandis que le GHG Protocol fait référence à une logique comptable. Dans le premier cas, la modélisation derrière l’outil permet de penser une responsabilité collective sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et donc l’action collective, alors que, dans le second, la modélisation vise la transparence de l’information pour une responsabilité individuelle des entreprises sur les émissions. Le propos s’achève en mettant en évidence que le choix de l’outil par les entreprises ne sera alors pas neutre mais bien susceptible d’avoir des répercussions sur la nature des actions qu’elles pourront mener sur le carbone.
Tempête dans le secteur de l’électricité : l’émergence de l’économie du partage aux Pays-Bas
Authors: Vernay Anne-Lorène , Gauthier Caroline
Published: July 2017

Dominé par une poignée d’acteurs, le secteur de l’électricité est longtemps demeuré stable. Il est aujourd’hui en passe de subir d’importantes transformations résultant de deux décisions politiques majeures : la libéralisation du secteur et la signature du protocole de Kyoto. En particulier et contre toute attente, il voit émerger un paradigme exotique : celui de l’économie de partage historiquement étranger au secteur et auquel il ne se prête a priori pas. Cet article retrace l’émergence et l’ascension de ce paradigme à travers le cas des Pays-Bas des années 1980 à nos jours. Il le fait par le prisme des business models – qui décrivent les mécanismes de création, de livraison et de capture de la valeur – des acteurs en présence. L’article montre qu’un bouleversement non pas d’ordre technique mais d’ordre managérial est en œuvre, avec de nouvelles formes de gestion de la production d’électricité. Il montre également comment le secteur est passé d’initiatives isolées au départ à la création d’un écosystème de partage avec des acteurs parfois en concurrence mais plus souvent complémentaires les uns des autres. Il discute les formes très variées que prend l’économie du partage dans le secteur de l’électricité ainsi que la manière dont les entreprises ont par leurs business models facilité l’émergence et l’ascension de ce paradigme. Enfin, cet article propose une critique de l’utilisation du business model comme outil d’analyse de l’évolution d’un secteur.
Plateau de carrière et engagement organisationnel dans le secteur public camerounais : rôle du soutien organisationnel perçu
Authors: Noah Céline
Published: July 2017

Le plafonnement de carrière et ses conséquences sont aujourd’hui des préoccupations managériales pour la plupart des organisations et leurs employés. L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner le rôle modérateur du soutien organisationnel perçu sur la relation entre le plafonnement de carrière et l’engagement organisationnel. Pour atteindre cet objectif, les données d’une enquête de terrain auprès de 615 employés des administrations et entreprises du secteur public camerounais sont soumises à des analyses descriptives et économétriques. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que le plafonnement de contenu agit négativement sur l’engagement organisationnel qu’il soit affectif ou normatif et positivement sur l’engagement calculé. Par ailleurs, des relations positives se dégagent entre le plafonnement objectif et les différentes formes de l’engagement organisationnel. De plus, le soutien organisationnel perçu modère d’une part, l’effet du plafonnement structurel sur l’engagement affectif et d’autre part, la relation entre le plafonnement de contenu et l’engagement calculé. Il semble donc pertinent de sensibiliser les responsables des organisations à l’importance de développer une relation personnalisée avec les membres de leur équipe à travers les encouragements, la prise en compte de leur difficulté ainsi que la reconnaissance de leur adhésion aux objectifs organisationnels afin de réduire, voire d’éliminer les situations de plafonnement subjectif.
Quelle efficacité pour le CV anonyme ? Les leçons d’une étude expérimentale
Authors: Lacroux Alain , Martin-Lacroux Christelle
Published: July 2017

De nombreuses sources de discriminations à l’embauche ont été mises en évidence dans la littérature, et les chercheurs s’accordent en général sur la nécessité de mettre en œuvre des outils de gestion efficaces pour les neutraliser. Le dossier de candidature anonymé, ou « CV anonyme » apparaît comme l’un ces outils. Malgré sa médiatisation, il a fait l’objet de peu de recherches à ce jour, notamment en contexte francophone. Cet article, qui présente une étude expérimentale menée auprès de 1246 recruteurs poursuit deux objectifs : analyser l’efficacité globale du dossier de candidature anonyme comme outil de sélection pour des dossiers de candidature hétérogènes au niveau du fond et de la forme, puis vérifier son impact sur un facteur de discrimination déjà analysé (l’origine visible du candidat), et sur un second facteur encore très peu étudié dans ce contexte (l’apparence physique du candidat). Nos résultats confirment une discrimination fondée sur l’apparence physique (en l’occurrence le surpoids), que le dossier anonymé neutralise efficacement. Par contre, l’origine visible du candidat n’apparait pas comme un critère discriminatoire dans notre échantillon, et le dossier anonymé a un effet hétérogène sur cette variable en fonction de la qualité des dossiers de candidature. Par ailleurs, nos résultats indiquent que plusieurs variables propres aux recruteurs, notamment leur spécialisation en ressources humaines et leur genre, ont des effets significatifs et parfois paradoxaux sur leur appréciation des dossiers de candidature. Ces résultats font l’objet d’une discussion analysant le comportement de discrimination sélective constaté sur l’échantillon, et envisageant des pistes d’outils de présélection adaptés aux exigences actuelles de prévention des discriminations.
Converging interests and scientific circulation between Paris and Beijing (1685-1735): The path towards a new Qing cartographic practice
Authors: Cams Mario
Published: July 2017

Dans les premières années du xviii e siècle, la Chine des Qing a entrepris l’un des plus grands projets cartographiques des débuts du monde moderne, projet dont le résultat est l’édition d’un ensemble impressionnant d’atlas connus sous le nom de Cartes générales des territoires impériaux ou Huangyu quanlan tu 皇 輿 全 覽 圖. Dans le cadre de ce projet sans précédent, la cour de Pékin établit une nouvelle pratique du relevé cartographique qui combinait des pratiques héritées avec de nouvelles techniques géométriques et d’observation. Ces nouvelles techniques ont été introduites par certains des missionnaires européens au service de cette cour, dont la plupart étaient des Jésuites français envoyés en Chine en 1685 par Louis XIV et parrainés par l’Académie des sciences. Cet article retrace la circulation des instruments et des techniques d’arpentage de Paris à Pékin, leur reconfiguration et leur transformation en Asie, ainsi que la création de nouvelles pratiques de relevé cartographique par la cour des Qing.
The surgeon’s acupuncturist: Philipp Franz von Siebold’s encounter with Ishizaka Sōtetsu and nineteenth century Japanese acupuncture
Authors: Vigouroux Mathias
Published: July 2017

Contrairement aux premières descriptions sur l’acuponcture de Willem Ten Rhjine et Engelbert Kaempfer rédigées dans les dernières décennies du xvii e siècle, les observations de Philipp Franz von Siebold ont reçu peu d’attention à son retour en Hollande en 1828. La curiosité de Siebold pour l’acuponcture était pourtant différente de celle de ses prédécesseurs puisqu’il ne s’est pas intéressé à l’acuponcture en général, comme l’ont fait Rhijne et Kaempfer, mais aux théories d’Ishizaka Sōtetsu 石坂宗哲, un acuponcteur japonais du début du xix e siècle qui tenta de constituer une passerelle entre la médecine occidentale et la médecine sino-japonaise. Dans cet article, je commence par reconstituer la rencontre entre Siebold et Ishizaka en me basant sur des documents rares de la bibliothèque de l’Université de Leiden, du Musée d’ethnologie de Leiden et de la famille Ishizaka. J’examine ensuite les nouveaux développements qu’a connus l’acuponcture japonaise au tournant du xix e siècle. Je montre comment Ishizaka appliqua ses connaissances sur l’anatomie occidentale à l’acuponcture, soutenant que cela lui donna de nouveaux outils méthodologiques et épistémologiques pour reconstruire les théories de l’acuponcture dans son propre cadre théorique, et que cela lui permit par conséquent de trouver une place dans les débats qui animaient la médecine japonaise depuis la fin du xvii e siècle. Enfin, j’examine les raisons de l’intérêt de Siebold pour les théories d’Ishizaka et sa contribution à leur diffusion en Europe.
De l’éreuthophobie au taijinkyōfushō : Circulation et élaboration d’un diagnostic psychiatrique entre Europe, États-Unis et Japon (décennies 1890-1930)
Authors: Terrail-Lormel Sarah
Published: July 2017

Proche de la phobie sociale des classifications psychiatriques occidentales, le taijinkyōfushō 対人恐怖症 (« phobie interpersonnelle ») a longtemps été pensé par les psychiatres japonais comme une névrose spécifiquement nippone. Confinée à la problématique du particularisme culturel du Japon d’après-guerre, l’histoire de sa genèse est jusqu’à présent demeurée quasiment ignorée. Pourtant, la formation de ce concept est le fruit de la circulation des idées entre Europe, États-Unis et Japon à la fin du xix e et au début du xx e siècle. C’est ce que montre la généalogie que nous nous efforçons de retracer ici et qui nous permet de saisir autrement, sous le nom de taijinkyōfu 対人恐怖, la réinvention par le psychiatre Morita Shōma 森田正馬 dans les années 1930 de l’éreuthophobie européenne des années 1890.
A memória na prisão: entre a massificação e a resistência
Authors: Braz José Mauro Oliveira , Curcio Fernanda Santos , Farias Francisco Ramos de
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n1p1Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como a instituição prisão consegue, por intermédio de suas dinâmicas, experiências e práticas disciplinares, funcionar de modo a provocar o nivelamento das diferenças subjetivas dos encarcerados pela assimilação das normas de convivência, em termos de submissão e obediência a cultura prisional. Como metodologia utilizada, realizou-se o levantamento bibliográfico de obras que auxiliassem na construção desta discussão, onde autores como Foucault, Goffman, Thompson e Althusser direcionaram o referido trabalho. O fenômeno da massificação subjetiva se faz presente na medida em que a instituição atua no sentido de tentar produzir semelhantes experiências nos encarcerados, transformando-as em vestígios de memórias e lembranças. Desse modo, a prisão, como qualquer outro lugar de memória, conduz seus encarcerados de acordo com um conjunto de determinações estabelecidas para a transmissão da disciplina e controle. Porém, o ambiente prisional que atua na busca da padronização subjetiva está fundamentado em contradições e de correlações de forças que dão espaço a resistência. Configurando, assim, não apenas a preservação da memória do espaço instituído, como também a produção de arranjos, ou melhor, uma modalidade de memória em termos de possíveis dobras que se impõe ao poder desta instituição.
A leitura em sala de aula como mediadora de construção de igualdade de gênero

Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n1p95O presente artigo visa refletir sobre ações em sala de aula que permitem discutir a igualdade de gênero. A partir disso, analisa-se um trabalho com educandos do Ensino Médio das disciplinas de Língua Portuguesa, Literatura e Produção Textual, no qual são trabalhados o vídeo Vida Maria, de Márcio Ramos, e os contos A moça tecelã e Para que ninguém a quisesse, de Marina Colasanti. Os objetivos foram levar ao universo dos alunos a temática de gênero e fazê-los confrontar suas ideias com os textos apresentados, tanto pela leitura e debate dos contos quanto pela escrita de suas memórias em relação ao lido. A metodologia baseou-se na discussão de assuntos pertinentes aos adolescentes e na seleção de textos – escritos e visuais – que pudessem trazer reflexões sobre o ser mulher, além do trabalho em sala de aula de leitura, discussão e debate sobre os textos e escrita de análises por parte dos alunos. Os resultados visam a refletir sobre os modos de ser e de agir que se repetem ao longo dos tempos, para os alunos sujeitos críticos e talvez até transformadores da realidade em que vivem.
Permacultura como um estilo de vida sustentável: o olhar da psicologia ambiental
Authors: Diniz Raquel Farias
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n2p106Em vista da crise ecológica que se evidencia ao longo das últimas décadas, faz-se necessário o entendimento de que vários problemas ambientais têm como base o comportamento humano. Nesse sentido, a ciência psicológica busca contribuir para a construção de conhecimento sobre os processos cognitivos, emocionais e motivacionais que predispõem comportamentos em prol da conservação do meio ambiente e para a formação de sujeitos ecológicos. Sob o referencial da sustentabilidade, a Psicologia Ambiental tem se dedicado a compreender os estilos de vida sustentáveis (EVS), suas predisposições psicológicas e suas práticas efetivas. No presente ensaio argumenta-se que a Permacultura, como ética e modo de vida contra-hegemônico, se configura como um EVS. Ao discutir essa relação, considera-se seu potencial para problematizar os modos de vida contemporâneos e fomentar novos caminhos para a transformação das relações pessoa-ambiente.

Recorremos à abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa em Psicologia e como método a cartografia. Foram realizadas entrevistas de longa duração com 10 (dez) bio-mulheres – mulheres em termos biológicos, detentoras do órgão sexual feminino (PRECIADO, 2008) – que residissem e/ou trabalhassem no munícipio pesquisado e de escolaridades, raças/cores e tempo de atuação variados na prostituição. A luz dos Estudos Culturais e da Teoria Queer, evidenciamos o emprego de distintas nomenclaturas por parte de nossas participantes, denotando importantes posições pessoais e disputas políticas dessas mulheres na sociedade e na própria prática da prostituição, bem como a desconstrução de uma identidade universal da mulher prostituta.
Mídia e deficiência: uma abordagem interdisciplinar
Authors: De la Barrera Ayres Melina , Nuernberg Adriano Henrique , Rial Carmen Silvia
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n3p61Neste artigo refletimos sobre a abordagem da deficiência física adquirida proposta pela telenovela Viver a Vida (escrita por Manoel Carlos; produzida e veiculadas pela Rede Globo em 2009 e 2010) e o blog Sonhos de Luciana (REDE GLOBO, 2010). Para tanto, analisamos a cena em que Luciana, protagonista desta temática, vai pela primeira vez à praia após ter adquirido a deficiência. Partindo de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar estabelece-se um diálogo entre três áreas de conhecimento: a Comunicação Social (fundamentalmente os Estudos Culturais) que ampara a perspectiva a partir da qual se entende a mídia; a Antropologia, área que contribui com o olhar e a metodologia, a etnografia de tela; e os Disability Studies, que fornecem o embasamento teórico para a análise da deficiência.
Contextos de interação e sua inter-relação com o comportamento ecológico

Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2017v14n1p117Propõe-se uma reflexão crítica acerca da inter-relação humano-ambiental, pontuando o contexto de interação como um fator determinante para o comportamento ecológico. São apresentados os aspectos socioambientais que interferem no comportamento, além de mostrar que a interlocução entre os paradigmas que norteiam a Teoria da Bioecologia do Desenvolvimento humano e a Educação Ambiental é possível, e pode auxiliar o pesquisador durante sua investigação. Contudo, é importante que o pesquisador, e também os educadores ambientais, considerem todos os aspectos envolvidos nas ações pró-ambientais, procurando compreendê-los em inter-relação com o contexto de vida dos indivíduos e os significados que atribuem à natureza, para alcançar interpretações mais próximas de suas percepções, com vistas à proposição de intervenções sobre a questão ambiental.
Cinema e ciência, natureza e cultura
Authors: Barreto Marcio
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2017v14n2p19Diante de questões contemporâneas que colocam em xeque as fronteiras entre natureza e cultura, homem e máquina, sociedade e ambiente, o cinema é tomado aqui como fio condutor de uma reflexão sobre a ciência moderna a partir de textos de Bergson, Deleuze e outros autores. Operando a passagem da ciência à arte e da arte à ciência, o cinema é aqui assumido como objeto técnico e o objeto técnico como instrumento de ampliação da percepção. A lei da atração gravitacional de Newton, reconhecida como o coroamento da ciência moderna, é tratada no texto em suas implicações físicas e metafísicas a partir de escritos de Betty Dobbs e do próprio Newton para realçar a artificialidade das referidas fronteiras. Através das lentes do cinema, especialmente dos filmes 2001 Uma Odisseia no Espaço, de Stanley Kubrick e Out of the present, de Andrei Ujica, o artigo procura demonstrar a potência do cinema para a percepção de que dimensões da ciência que vão além de suas alianças com o Estado e com o mercado são relevantes para os desafios que despontam no horizonte do século XXI.
Benthic Archaea as potential sources of tetraether membrane lipids in sediments across an oxygen minimum zone

Published: July 2017

Abstract. Benthic Archaea comprise a significant part of the total prokaryotic biomass in marine sediments. Recent genomic surveys suggest they are largely involved in anaerobic processing of organic matter but the distribution and abundance of these archaeal groups is still largely unknown. Archaeal membrane lipids composed of isoprenoid diethers or tetraethers (glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether, GDGT) are often used as archaeal biomarkers. Here, we compare the archaeal diversity and intact polar lipid (IPL) composition in both surface (0–0.5 cm) and subsurface (10–12 cm) sediments recovered within, just below, and well below the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Arabian Sea. Archaeal 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed a predominance of Thaumarchaeota (Marine Group I, MG-I) in oxygenated sediments. Quantification of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monoxygenase (amoA) of Thaumarchaeota genes and their transcripts indicated the presence of an active in situ benthic population, which coincided with a high relative abundance of hexose phosphohexose crenarchaeol, a specific biomarker for living Thaumarchaeota. On the other hand, anoxic surface sediments within the OMZ and all subsurface sediments were dominated by archaea belonging to the Miscellaneous Crenarchaeota Group (MCG), the Thermoplasmatales and archaea of the DPANN superphylum. Members of the MCG were diverse with a dominance of subgroup MCG-12 in anoxic surface sediments. This coincided with a high relative abundance of IPL GDGT-0 with an unknown polar head group. Subsurface anoxic sediments were characterized by higher relative abundance of GDGT-0, 2 and 3 with dihexose IPL-types, as well as GDGT-0 with a cyclopentanetetraol molecule and a hexose, as well as the presence of specific MCG subgroups, suggesting that these groups could be the biological sources of these archaeal lipids.

Taking the influences of operational, organizational and relational factors on key account management performance into account, present research examines the antecedent variables of key account management performance. Using a questionnaire, data from 112 ready-made garments companies in Bangladesh were used to evaluate Capacity Oriented Key Account Management Performance through Stochastic Frontier Model. Results show that in the case of medium key account serving capacity, log-likelihood estimation of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is found same as the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimation whereas for both high and low key account serving capacity, MLE is found better than OLS estimation. It is observed that perceived risks of serving key account, supplier relational investment, and relational intimacy are significant in case of both MLE and OLS estimation methods while in case of MLE team effort and supplier relational investment are recorded significant for the high, medium and low key account serving capacity oriented performance of Bangladeshi ready-made garments companies. Again, most of the companies with high key account serving capacity are found showing above average performance, the performance of the companies with medium key account serving capacity is homogeneous. On the other hand, the performance of low key account serving capacity garments companies are more volatile than garments companies with medium and high key account serving capacity. Implications, limitations, and further research options are suggested.
The Quiet Australian Harvest
Authors: Mitra Jay , Kumar Venu , Wyn Owain
Published: July 2017

Australia's outstanding economic success in recent years has been aided by significant developments in science and technology research and by the ways in which research has been exploited for commercial development. Australia's success in this respect, and its rapid and sometimes innovative development of such vehicles for R&D exploitation as science and technology parks, makes it a suitable case for study. This paper arises from the findings of a study mission from the UK, which set out to identify and analyse the various ways in which Australia is addressing the challenge of science and technology exploitation. The authors focus on current science, technology and innovation policies at state and national levels, and assess the various ways in which science and technology parks have been used as vehicles for innovation, business development and economic regeneration. The paper is divided into three main parts: Part 1 discusses policy issues at state and Commonwealth levels; Part 2 is concerned with technology, innovation and economic regeneration and describes various science and technology park developments; and Part 3 assesses the ways in which university-industry links are manifested in science and technology parks. A concluding section summarizes the key aspects of Australia's strategy for economic development through science and technology, in terms of both policy and implementation.
The Education—Industry Interface in India
Authors: Ansari M. M.
Published: July 2017

Industry and educational institutions are increasingly dependent on each other in terms of their productivity and performance. This paper reports and analyses the findings of a survey designed to ascertain the extent of industry's support for education in India and companies' attitudes towards the provision of that support. Although various forms of business support for education are identified and discussed, the author's overall assessment indicates that, in spite of the very substantial mutual benefits of cooperation, interaction between higher education institutions and companies remains at a low level in India – and this threatens educational and industrial development. In this context, he describes the major impediments to industrial support for and involvement in educational programmes and recommends a series of policy and strategic measures for government, HEIs, and business organizations which would address the constraints and disincentives identified.
Assessing the Likely Effectiveness of Intervention Programmes in Small Manufacturing Companies
Authors: Hamblin David , Willcock John
Published: July 2017

The paper explores the feasibility of pre-intervention audit to test the likely effect of intervention programmes in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Four factors have been derived from theory: awareness, culture, communication network and management skills. These factors have been rated for each of eleven companies in a recent intervention programme and compared to the perceived success of the intervention. The cases suggest that a satisfactory rating on each factor is necessary for success rather than excellence in one or two.
Trick or Treat: Academic Buy-in to Third Stream Activities
Authors: Watson Derek , Hall Lynne , Tazzyman Sarah
Published: July 2017

This paper reports in part on a major study, carried out in 2013, in which data were collected from university senior executives and academics in the five university business schools in the North East of England: it focuses on the quantitative findings produced. Whilst prima facie evidence would suggest that universities are strategically embedding and integrating third stream strategies alongside first and second stream activities, a critical analysis of the research data revealed that this was clearly not the case. Empirical evidence from the research indicates that there are strategic failings in universities. This research contributes to the existing literature which highlights the academic pressures in embedding the third stream in higher education institutions.
Validation of Multiresidue Method for Analysis of 31 Pesticides in Rice Using Gas Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Mondal Rahul , Kole Ramen Kumar , Bhattacharyya Anjan
Published: July 2017

Five modified QuEChERS were tested for the multiresidue analysis of 31 pesticides in rice. Rice was spiked with mixture solution of pesticides at 10 ng/g. Method selection was based on the LODs (sensitivity) and recovery tests (accuracy) of the pesticides. Analysis was done in GC-tandem MS in multiple reaction monitoring mode with a total run time of approximately 37 min. The selected method was validated after spiking rice at 20 and 100 ng/g in rice. The performance characteristics of the method impacted for all selected pesticides were acceptable according to the guidelines for method validation (recovery of 70–120% with an RSD of <20% and r2 value of ≥0.99). For rice, matrix effect on the signals of the compounds was corrected by using matrix-matched calibration standards. The LOQs met the requirements of the maximum residue limits for pesticides in rice. The developed method allowed for the simultaneous determination and confirmation of a large number of different groups of pesticides and was fast, simple, inexpensive, and useful for the routine analysis of rice.

Objective: To assess the level of awareness and adherence of patients to dietary recommendations in the management of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included CVD patients on medical visits at the cardiology unit of Ngaoundere Regional Hospital. Well informed and consenting participants filled a pre-tested questionnaire on dietary knowledge and practice.
Results: 129 patients were retained in this study out of 151 enrolled. 58.9% of participants knew that the consumption of vegetables is beneficial for their status. Fruit consumption recorded the same level of awareness. All other dietary variables studied revealed less than 50% level of awareness among participants. Concerning recommended dietary practices, 73.64% of participants consumed oils rich in saturated fatty acids. Meat and fish consumption were recorded at 62.01% and 65.12% respectively, with a 94.57% preference to red meat consumption. Almost 19.38% of the study population consumed eggs more than 3 times per week, 31.78% and 41.09% consumed vegetables and fruits at least thrice and twice a week respectively. The overall mean adherence to the studied cardiovascular disease dietary recommendations was 38.31%, with only fish, vegetable and tea/coffee recommendations recording adherences of 50% and above.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a low level of awareness and adherence to dietary recommendations in the management of CVDs, thus the need for the strengthening of health promotion programs and improvement of the nutritional advices in our context.

L’apport de François Beaudin : la mise en place du rapport Deschênes
Authors: Baillargeon Diane
Published: July 2017

Ce texte présente les années charnières du Service des archives de l’Université de Montréal, débutant lorsque François Beaudin arrive à la direction du service en avril 1972. Il hérite alors d’une situation décriée par son prédécesseur, Luc-André Biron, dans un mémoire déposé à la Commission conjointe du Conseil de l’Université et de l’Assemblée universitaire. Le rapport de la Commission, préparé par le juge Deschênes, en accepte les principales recommandations donnant un nouveau souffle au Service. S’appuyant sur ces recommandations, François Beaudin transformera le Service des archives en profondeur durant son court mandat de quatre ans : création de la Commission des archives, embauche de personnel qualifié qui feront leur marque sur la scène archivistique, approbation des premières règles de conservation, mise en place de dépôt de documents semi-actifs, etc.
