Alienação e subjetivismo
Authors: Silva Elivanda De Oliveira
Published: September 2018

Hannah Arendt, no Capítulo VI d’A condição humana, ao compreender a vita activa no contexto das transformações operadas pela modernidade, especialmente as que estão relacionadas à glorificação das ciências como uma tentativa de instaurar uma nova visão de mundo em que os assuntos do domínio público são aviltados, afirma que o amor renascentista pela Terra e pelo mundo foi a primeira vítima do processo de alienação do homem moderno. Na concepção da autora, a era moderna não apenas não deu importância ao esforço dos humanistas cívicos em prol da valorização da vita activa e da instauração de princípios cívicos que marcariam por séculos as demandas de instituição do político, mas concebeu outras condições que arrefeçaram o que vinha sendo construído pelos homens de ação do republicanismo renascentista. Neste texto, discutiremos o que significou o processo de alienação do homem na era moderna, quais suas implicações para o mundo público, e qual a relação que esse evento guarda com um modo de vida que havia sido gestado pelos homens de ação do Renascimento.

Por um pensamento político-filosófico
Authors: Alves Neto Rodrigo Ribeiro
Published: September 2018

O artigo analisa a originalidade e a contemporaneidade das elaborações reflexivas da obra A Condição Humana. A contemporaneidade dessa obra não resulta da harmonização entre pensamento e atualidade, mas do diagnóstico crítico de que a terrível novidade do totalitarismo rompeu com as continuidades históricas, trazendo à tona uma crise radical da civilização ocidental que exige repensarmos sem pressuposições nossos conceitos e significações tradicionais. A originalidade que busca por outro começo do pensamento diante do fim da tradição reside no entrecruzamento de filosofia e política, tendo em vista elaborar em termos filosóficos a existência pública e ativa dos homens como singularidades plurais, superando o tradicional desprezo dos filósofos pelo mundo comum e humano e problematizando a despolitização liberal das atuais democracias formais que atrofiam a esfera política da ação e do discurso.
Los primeros indicios de la recepción de La Condición Humana de Hannah Arendt
Authors: Porcel Beatriz
Published: September 2018

El interés de este trabajo se dirige a presentar algunas de las varias reseñas críticas que mereció La Condición Humana —escrito por Hannah Arendt y publicado en Nueva York en 1958— durante ese año, en 1959 y en 1960, tanto en el medio académico como en el periodismo especializado. A posteriori, parece que esta obra, situada entre las importantes controversias de su antecesora Los Orígenes del Totalitarismo y su sucesora Eichman en Jerusalem, fue recibida con menos virulencia; más bien lo que suscitó fue desconcierto y algo de perplejidad. Relevamos un total de dieciocho reseñas, la mayoría aparecida en los años 1958 y 1959, y en mucho menor medida en 1960. Las publicaciones que las acogieron fueron casi todas ellas de carácter académico, en general muy conocidas y escritas por profesores e intelectuales en general también conocidos. Hemos seleccionado algunas de ellas mostrando sus claves interpretativas para finalizar delineando como hipótesis que la casi general incomprensión de la obra arendtiana se debió al estado de la ciencia y la teoría política imperante en los Estados Unidos con predominio de las posiciones positivista y conductista.

Non-Steroidal Androgen Receptor Antagonists and Prostate Cancer: A Survey on Chemical Structures Binding this Fast-Mutating Target
Authors: Ferroni Claudia , Varchi Greta
Published: September 2018

The Androgen Receptor (AR) pathway plays a major role in both the pathogenesis
and progression of prostate cancer. In particular, AR is chiefly involved in the development of
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) as well as in the resistance to the secondgeneration
AR antagonist enzalutamide, and to the selective inhibitor of cytochrome P450
17A1 (CYP17A1) abiraterone. Several small molecules acting as AR antagonists have been
designed and developed so far, also as a result of the ability of cells expressing this molecular
target to rapidly develop resistance and turn pure receptor antagonists into ineffective or event
detrimental molecules. This review covers a survey of most promising classes of non-steroidal
androgen receptor antagonists, also providing insights into their mechanism of action and efficacy
in treating prostate cancer.

Authors: Lal Kashmiri , Kumar Lokesh , Kumar Ashwani , Kumar Anil
Published: September 2018

Background:

Oxazolones and 1,2,3-triazoles are among the extensively studied heterocycles
in medicinal chemistry. Both of these moieties are reported to possess a broad spectrum of biological
activity including antimicrobial.

Objective:

The objective of the current work is to design, synthesize and antimicrobial evaluation of
some new oxazolone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids.

Methods:

The designed oxazolone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were synthesized using copper(I)-catalyzed
azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The antimicrobial evaluation was carried out using serial dilution method.

Results:

Most of the synthesized hybrids showed significant antimicrobial properties. Some of the
compounds were found to be possessing better or comparable activity to that of the standards used. The
docking simulations results are also in agreement with the antimicrobial activity data.

Conclusion:

Sixteen new hybrids were synthesized and tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity.
Some of the tested compounds exhibited promising antimicrobial activity and could be utilized for the
development of the lead compounds for new and more potent antimicrobial drugs.
Molecular Docking, G-QSAR Studies, Synthesis and Anticancer Screening of Some New 2-Phenazinamines as Bcr-Abl Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
Authors: Kale Mayura A. , Sonwane Gajanan M.
Published: September 2018

Background:

The computational studies on 2-phenazinamines with their protein targets have been carried out to design compounds with potential anticancer activity. This strategy of designing compounds possessing selectivity over specific tyrosine kinase has been achieved through G-QSAR and molecular docking studies.

Methods:

The objective of this research has been to design newer 2-phenazinamine derivatives as Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitors by G-QSAR, molecular docking studies followed by wet lab studies along with evaluation of their anticancer potential. Computational chemistry was done by using VLife MDS 4.3 and Autodock 4.2 followed by wet lab experiments for synthesizing 2- phenazinamine derivatives. The chemical structures of ligands in 2D were drawn by employing Chemdraw 2D Ultra 8.0 and were converted into 3D. These were optimised by using semiempirical method called MOPAC. The protein structure was retrieved from RCSC protein data bank as PDB file. The binding interactions of protein and ligands were done by using PYMOL. The molecular properties of the designed compounds were predicted in silico by using Osiris property explorer. Later, we synthesized novel 13 2-phenazinamine derivatives by treating parent compound with various aldehydes in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and urea to afford 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(phenazin-2-yl) thiazolidin-4-one and another series of derivatives synthesized with different aldehydes in the presence of p-toluylsulphonic acid, diphydropyridine and benzene sulfonyl chloride to afford benzenesulfonyl-N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-phenazin-2-amine. All the derivatives were tested for invitro anticancer activity on K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line by employing MTT assay method.

Results:

The developed G-QSAR models were found to be statistically significant with respect to training (r2=0.8074), cross-validation (q2=0.6521), and external validation (pred_r2=0.5892). The best developed G-QSAR model suggested that the XlogP values of phenazinamine derivatives were found to be highly influential in determining biological activity. The standard drug was found to exhibit binding energy - 6.79 kcal/mol and the derivatives 5b and 6c exhibited binding energy of - 7.46 and - 8.51; respectively.

Conclusion:

Compounds 5b, 6c were observed to possess good lipophilicity and were found to exhibit better activity than other compounds in the series, although less than standard doxorubicin. The synthesis of these 2-phenazinamine derivatives (5a-m) is reported to be obtained from 2,4- dinitrodiphenylamine by applying appropriate synthetic route. Compounds 5b and 6c showed better cytotoxic activity against K562 cancer cell line when compared to other compounds of the series, although less than standard doxorubicin.

Piperazine as an Inexpensive and Efficient Ligand for Pd-Catalyzed Homocoupling Reactions to Synthesize Bipyridines and Their Analogues
Authors: Chen Mingwei , Hu Jinyu , Tang Xiaoli , Zhu Qiming
Published: September 2018

Aim and Objective: The synthesis of bipyridines, especially 2, 2’-bipyridines, remains challenging
because the catalytic cycle can be inhibited due to coordination of bipyridine to transition metal. Thus, the development
of efficient methods for the synthesis of bipyridines is highly desirable. In the present work, we presented
a promising approach for preparation of bipyridines via a Pd-catalyzed reductive homocoupling reaction
with simple piperazine as a ligand.

Materials and Methods:

Simple and inexpensive piperazine was used as a ligand for Pd-catalyzed homocoupling
reaction. The combination of Pd(OAc)2 and piperazine in dimethylformamide (DMF) was observed to
form an excellent catalyst and efficiently catalyzed the homocoupling of azaarenyl halides, in which DMF was
used as the solvent without excess reductants although stoichiometric reductant was generally required to generate
the low-oxidation-state active metal species in the catalytic cycles.

Results: In this case, good to excellent yields of bipyridines and their (hetero) aromatic analogues were obtained
in the presence of 2.5 mol% of Pd(OAc)2 and 5 mol% of piperazine, using K3PO4 as a base in DMF at
140°C.

Conclusion:

According to the results, piperazine as an inexpensive and efficient ligand was used in the
Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of heteroaryl and aryl halides. The coupling reaction was operationally
simple and displayed good substrate compatibility.

Authors: Kim Hak Jung , Cho Sooyoung , Lee Gang Seok , Jang Hyung-Kwan , Oh Ye Jun , Lee Ju
Published: September 2018

Object:

This paper proposes an outer rotor and spoke-type permanent magnet synchronous motor (outer rotor spoke-type PMSM) to increase the power density compared to the inner rotor spoke-type permanent magnet synchronous motor(inner rotor spoke-type PMSM) used in washing machines.

Method:

In order to investigate the output characteristics of the Outer Rotor Spoke-type PMSM, comparison and analysis were conducted on three models of 16-poles/9-slots, 20-pole/9-slots and 22-poles/9-slots. Compare models were conducted with the limited condition which applies the same current density, phase voltage limit, and stator. The final model was optimized based on the model with the best output characteristics among three compare models.

Conclusion:

Finally, output characteristics are compared between compare models and the final model.

Authors: Ricaud Karine , Rey Mickael , Plagnes-Juan Elisabeth , Larroquet Laurence , Even Maxime , Quillet Edwige , Skiba-Cassy Sandrine , Panserat Stéphane
Published: September 2018

Background:

Recently, studies suggest that gut microbiota contributes to the development of obesity in mammals. In rainbow trout, little is known about the role of intestinal microbiota in host physiology.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate the link between intestinal microbiota and adiposity, by high-throughput 16S RNA gene based illumina Miseq sequencing in two rainbow trout lines divergently selected for muscle lipid content. Fish from these two lines of rainbow trout are known to have a differing lipid metabolism.

Methods:

Samples from the two lines (L for lean and F for fat) were collected from Midgut (M) and Hindgut (H) in juvenile fish (18 months) to compare intestinal microbiota diversity.

Results:

Whatever the lines and intestinal localisation,Proteobacteria,FirmicutesandActinobacteriaare the dominant phyla in the bacterial community of rainbow trout (at least 97%). The results indicate that richness and diversity indexes as well as bacterial composition are comparable between all groups even though 6 specific OTUs were identified in the intestinal microbiota of fish from the fat line and 2 OTUs were specific to the microbiota of fish from the lean line. Our work contributes to a better understanding in microbial diversity in intestinal microbiota of rainbow trout.

Conclusion:

Altogether, our study indicates that no major modification of the intestinal microbiota is induced by selection for muscle lipid content and associated metabolic changes. Finally, we identified members of core microbiota in rainbow trout.
Pelvic Tilt Angle Differences Between Symptom-Free Young Subjects and Elderly Patients Scheduled for THA: The Rationale for Tilt-Adjusted Acetabular Cup Implantation
Authors: Marques Carlos J. , Martin Tobias , Kochman Andrzej , Goral Adrian , Lampe Frank , Breul Viktor , Kozak Josef
Published: September 2018

Background:

The question whether Pelvic Tilt (PT) angles measured in the supine position are adequate for the alignment of the acetabular cup without an adjustment for anatomical differences between patients is of clinical importance. The aim of this work was to test for factors that can significantly affect PT angles.

Methods:

In the present retrospective cohort comparison, the PT angles of 12 Symptom-Free Young Subjects (SFYS) and 45 patients scheduled for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) were compared. The data was collected during two studies with the use of a novel smartphone-based navigated ultrasound measurement system. Multi-factorial analysis of variance was run to determine which factors significantly affect PT.

Results:

Body position (F= 126.65; P< 0.001) and group (SFYS vs. THA patients) (F= 17.52; P< 0.001) had significant main effects on PT. There was also a significant interaction between body position and group (F= 25.59; P< 0.001). The mean PT increased by 8.1° from an interiorly to a neutral tilted position (P< 0.001) and 21.4° from a neutral to a posteriorly tilted position (P< 0.001) with the transition from the supine into the upright position for the SFYS and THA patients, respectively.

Conclusion:

In both groups, PT changed significantly with a transition from the supine to the upright position. A position-dependent mean PT increase in the patient group showed that acetabular cup alignment based on PT in the supine position is not reliable without taking into consideration the inclination of the pelvis in standing position. This may lead to instability and dislocations.
Long Non-coding RNAs in the Human Genome Acquired by Horizontal Gene Transfer
Authors: Pierneef Rian , Clasen Frederick J. , Bezuidt Oliver K. I. , Reva Oleg N.
Published: September 2018

Background:

Horizontal gene transfer of mobile genetic elements is an essential component of prokaryotic evolution. These insertion events in eukaryotes and particularly in the human genome have been investigated by various methodologies with varying results.

Objective:

In this paper, we implement a sequence composition approach to investigate insertions of genomic islands in the human genome.

Methods:

A modified version of a prokaryotic GI identifier, SeqWord Gene Island Sniffer v.2.0, was used to predict genomic islands in the hg38 version of the human genome.

Results:

Predicted genomic islands were enriched with long non-coding RNAs and also contributed to the acquisition and modification of proteins associated with the immune system and gonad development, albeit to a lesser extent. The estimated rate of acquisition of these genomic islands in vertebrate genomes was non-linear with regards to species divergence times with an acceleration at the time of vertebrate land invasion and during the transition of prosimians to monkeys soon after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.

Conclusion:

The rapid acquisition of non-conserved long non-coding RNAs in the human genome and probably in vertebrata genomes was facilitated by horizontal gene transfer. All predicted human genomic islands and supporting information are freely accessible from http://hislands.bi.up.ac.za.
Design and Control of Standalone PV System without ESD Usage for Enhanced Energy Utilization
Authors: Tomar Anuradha
Published: September 2018

Background:

A Standalone Photovoltaic (PV) based system has practical constraints like
the need for Energy Storage Devices (ESD) in order to ensure 24 hours availability of electricity and
optimized usage of available PV power. Implementation of hybrid renewable energy based system
depends upon geographical location and thus availability of a specific energy resource. Also, ESDs
are costly to maintain and thus limited optimized usage of ESD is suggested in the literature.

Methods:

In this paper, a new concept of a PV system integrated with pumped storage is presented
for electrification/implementation in rural areas. Proposed system operates at Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) without de-rating the PV capacity or any need of ESD. The control philosophy is
simple, robust and ensures two modes of operation for pumped storage i.e. motoring mode and generating
mode; depending upon the PV power being generated, load demand and available water level
in lower and upper reservoir.

Result:

The effectiveness of the proposed system and control architecture is verified through
MATLAB/Simulink simulation. For various modes of operation, the proposed system is able to maintain
DC bus voltage, AC 3-phase voltage, the frequency at approximately constant desired values.

Conclusion:

However, to operate the PV system at night with heavy loads, additional ESD may be
required for better response and stability.
LED‐Based Ultraviolet Oxidation of Pharmaceuticals: Effects of Wavelength and Intensity, pH, and TiO2 Loading
Authors: Zaveri Burhanuddin Khuzema , De Souza Naomi Gevaerd , Parenky Akshay Chandrashekar , Choi Hyeok
Published: September 2018

The presence of pharmaceuticals in water resources has alarmed water and health authorities. This study evaluated ultraviolet‐based oxidation as a means to decompose sulfamethoxazole, ibuprofen, and triclosan. In particular, the study evaluated using light emitting diodes (LEDs), the so‐called ultraviolet LEDs (UV‐LEDs), as an alternative ultraviolet source to the problematic mercury lamps that are conventionally used in the decomposition of pharmaceuticals in water. The study explored various conditions of varying ultraviolet wavelength, irradiation intensity, reaction pH, and TiO2 loading. It compared the photolytic decomposition of the pharmaceuticals with their photocatalytic decomposition. The photolytic decomposition of the pharmaceuticals was solely determined by the relation between their ultraviolet absorption characteristics and the ultraviolet emission spectra of the LEDs. Reaction pH greatly affected both photolytic decomposition and photocatalytic decomposition. The presence of TiO2 in cases where significant photolysis was present inhibited the overall decomposition process. However, in all cases, photocatalysis showed better mineralization than photolysis.

Published: September 2018

Nitrogen removal and N2O emission of biochar‐sludge amended subsurface wastewater infiltration systems (SWISs) with/without intermittent aeration under different organic surface loading rates (OSLRs) were investigated. Under OSLR, between 8.5 and 54.6 g COD/(m2 d), average chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH+4‐N, and total nitrogen (TN) removal rates decreased with OSLR increasing in non‐aerated SWISs amended with/without biochar‐sludge; increasing OSLR hardly affected COD and NH+4‐N, removal in biochar‐sludge amended SWIS with intermittent aeration; N2O emission rate decreased with influent OSLR increasing in the SWISs. Biochar‐sludge amended SWIS with intermittent aeration obtained higher removal rates for COD (94.9 to 95.5%), NH+4‐N, (90.5 to 93.7%), TN (86.5 to 89.9%) and lower N2O emission rates [13.4 to 14.7 mg/(m2 d)] under high influent OSLR of 36.2 and 54.6 g COD/(m2 d) were compared with non‐aerated SWISs with/without biochar‐sludge. Furthermore, the abundances of amoA, nxrA, napA, narG, nirS, nirK, qnorB, and nosZ genes involved in nitrogen removal were enhanced under high influent OSLR in biochar‐sludge amended SWIS with intermittent aeration.

Authors: Koebnick Corinna , Tartof Sara Y. , Sidell Margo A. , Rozema Emily , Chung Joanie J , Chiu Vicki Y , Taylor Zackary W , Xiang Anny H , Getahun Darios
Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND

The widespread use of antepartum and intrapartum antibiotics has raised concerns about the possible disruption of the child's gut microbiota, and effects on the ‘maturation’ from the infant to the adult microbiome. The Fetal Antibiotic EXposure (FAX) Study provides a cohort to examine the association between in-utero exposure to antibiotics and adverse childhood outcomes including body weight, atopic diseases, and autism spectrum disorders and to investigate the role of other potential factors mitigating or moderating the risk for adverse outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the methods, cohort characteristics, and retention of infants included in the study cohort.

METHODS

For this retrospective cohort study, we included children born in KPSC hospitals between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2015 within 22-44 weeks of gestation with KPSC insurance coverage during the first year of life. Follow-up data collection is through electronic medical record (EMR) data from Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC).

RESULTS

The study cohort was comprised of 223,431 children of which 65.7% were exposed to antibiotics in-utero; 19.0% were exposed during the antepartum period, 30.0% during the intrapartum period, and 16.7% exposed during both the antepartum and intrapartum periods.
During their first year of life, children had a median of 5 BMI measurements; the frequency of BMI measurements declined to a median of 3 in their second year of life and 2 for 3-5 years of age. The 5-year retention of children in the health plan was over 80% with the highest retention for Hispanic children.

CONCLUSIONS

This cohort of children will provide a unique opportunity to address key questions regarding the long-term sequelae of in-utero exposure to antibiotics using real-world data. The high retention and multiple medical visits over time allow us to model the trajectories of BMI over time.
Tailoring Facebook Advertisements to Reach Gay and Bisexual Men: Short Report (Preprint)
Authors: Card Kiffer George , Vandecasteyen Ryan , Jollimore Jody , Olarewaju Gbolahan , Hart Trevor
Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND

Facebook advertisements are an important way for public health agencies and researchers to reach gay and bisexual men (gbMSM). However, few published studies have examined how to maximize engagement by tailoring and targeting Facebook advertisements to this population.

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether different types of ad messaging and imagery were associated with greater user engagement among male Facebook users, aged 18+, in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal.

METHODS

We compared the success of 24 Facebook ad campaigns – varied by image type (Neutral vs. Sexy), message (Financial Incentive, Altruism, Personal Health), target location (Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal), language (English, French), and target demographics (age: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+). Bivariate and multivariable Poisson regression models tested the effect of each variable on the ad’s click rate (i.e., number of clicks on ad / number of users shown ad) controlling for average number of impressions per person. Interaction terms between age and image type and between age and message type were also considered in our final multivariable models to explore the role of age in shaping engagement behavior.

RESULTS

A total of 351,624 impressions among 257,136 users were made, resulting in 4,267 clicks. At the bivariate level, a sexy image (vs. a neutral image) and a financial incentive message (vs. an altruistic message) were predictive of higher click rates. However, in multivariable modeling, the success of the sexualized image appeared to be driven primarily by its popularity among older men – as suggested by the positive association for older men in the interaction effect (P < 0.001). Similarly, for messaging, the success of the financial incentive message appeared to be negatively associated with age in the interaction effect (P < 0.001) – suggestive of its popularity among younger users. Nevertheless, the main effect for the financial incentive image remained strong and positive even when controlling for the interaction term (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

These results demonstrate that both user targets and post-related characteristics impact user engagement. Furthermore, it was found that post and user characteristics have the potential to interact – highlighting the importance of considering not only the content of advertisements, but to whom they are tailored. Future studies are needed to understand what motivates specific sub-groups of gbMSM to engage with tailored content on Facebook.

Authors: Balozi Mohamed Abbasi , Othman Siti Zubaidah , Isa Mohd Faizal Mohd
Published: September 2018

This paper intends to examine the mediating effects of subjective norms on the relationship between career advancement and job characteristics and knowledge sharing behavior. Based on the social exchange theory, we establish a research model which contains job and organizational factors. We distributed 650 questionnaires, but only 439 questionnaires were returned and usable. The hypotheses were tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study examines knowledge sharing behavior and its determinants. The results reveal that career advancement, job characteristics and subjective norms are positively and significantly related to knowledge sharing behavior. The findings depict that subjective norms have a partial positive and significant mediating effect on knowledge sharing behavior. This paper intends to identify knowledge sharing behavior and its determinants in Tanzanian healthcare institutions and among healthcare professionals. This is because there are only a few such studies in the context of Tanzania; therefore, this study offers a theoretical foundation for future studies and practical implications for administrators and practitioners.
FAKTOR DEMOGRAFI DALAM STRATEGI ELEKTORAL PILKADA: PERSPEKTIF DARI LAPANGAN
Authors: Ambardi Kuskrido
Published: September 2018

Demographic analysis is an important part of electoral strategies. This paper will show that electoral candidates in Indonesian local elections intituitively make use of demographic mapping for formulating their electoral strategies to win the elections. However, they purposefully and selectively target only a set of particular demographic groups that provide them electoral gains while ignoring others. Religious, ethnic, and migrant divisions are seen as more important electorally than gender and rural-urban divisions. To mobilize these groups, they tend to develop non-policy-based or symbolic campaigns instead of formulating policy-based campaigns. As a result, in local elections, primordial issues are more prominent than policy issues. In the short run, demographic analysisis will stay as the main strategic electoral tool for these candidates. In the long run, however, this mode of analysis will have to compete against post-demographic modes of analysis that have started to gain traction among national and local politicians.
MIGRATION, ETHNICITY AND LOCAL POLITICS: THE CASE OF JAKARTA, INDONESIA
Authors: Hadi Aulia , Tirtosudarmo Riwanto
Published: September 2018

As the capital city of a country with the world’s fourth largest population, Jakarta, like many other big cities in the developing economies, for example, Mexico City or New Delhi, hosts migrants from all regions of the country. Without a doubt, Jakarta has increasingly become the major core of the agglomeration processes transforming it and its satellite cities into a Mega Urban Region (MUR). This paper traces historically the interactions between migration, ethnicities and local politics in Jakarta from the 1960s to the 2000s focusing on the latest development, in which the phenomenon ‘Ahok’, the nickname of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Chinese-Christian from the small district of Belitung, has become an increasingly popular Governor of Jakarta. The paper argues that through the recent developments in Jakarta the politics have apparently been transformed into more civic, rather than ethnic politics. The nature of Jakarta as a proliferating migrant city transcends narrow cultural identities as well as conventional party politics into a more active citizenry through the widespread use of social media.

Published: September 2018

Life satisfaction is a subjective construct that varies according to gender, education level, age, income, marital status, and other demographic factors. Life satisfaction is an important issue among middle-aged women. They face various responsibilities, roles and expectation at this age. The objective of this article is to identify the differences in life satisfaction among middle-aged Malay women from different educational level, marital status, career and income. This study applied a survey technique, which is a set of questionnaire which consisted of socio-demographic scale and life satisfaction scale (based on Life Satisfaction Index - Short Form by Barrette and Murk, 2006). Simple random sampling and purposive sampling have been used to obtain the responses. A total of 410 middle-aged career women in Hulu Langat, Selangor have participated in this study. The finding showed that life satisfactions among middle-aged women are different depending on their marital status, career and income. This was based on the result of ANOVA. Single women and widower who are working in private sector and of low-income level reported to have the lowest life satisfaction. This finding may provide input to the planning of programs to enhance the well-being and life satisfaction among middle aged career women.

In addition, the mechanism of elections nowadays also provides the opportunity for individual candidates to be able to advance in the implementation of the elections. This is a real form of the implementation of the people's democracy, due to the demands of the people to get the leaders of his country who have the attitude that aspirational, competent, legitimate and not just think of the interests of political parties.

Espaço, tempo, lugar: um arcabouço humanista / Space, time, place: a humanistic frame
Authors: Tuan Yi-Fu
Published: September 2018

Espaço e tempo são ideias que possuem significados muito variados em diferentes campos do conhecimento e na vida cotidiana. É mais comum associarmos espaço e lugar do que espaço e tempo, pelo menos no dia-a-dia. Na imaginação é fácil tratar espaço, tempo e lugar separadamente. Na experiência vivida eles estão indissoluvelmente ligados. Este artigo objetiva mostrar como o tempo está presente nos conceitos de espaço e de lugar em diferentes escalas, em direção à relação tempo-lugar na experiência humana.
O cacau na literatura regional do sul da Bahia: ícone de diferenças socioespaciais / The cocoa in regional literature of Southern Bahia: icon of socio-spatial differences
Authors: Rocha Lurdes Bertol
Published: September 2018

O uso da literatura nos trabalhos geográficos permite avaliar a originalidade e a personalidade dos lugares e fornecer exemplos de apreciação pessoal das paisagens. Em 1972, a União Geográfica Internacional (UGI) realizou uma sessão sobre a utilização de romances regionais para o ensino da geografia; em 1974, no encontro anual da Associação dos Geógrafos Americanos, teve lugar uma reunião sobre as paisagens na literatura; em 1979, o Instituto dos Geógrafos Britânicos dedicou um de seus encontros anuais às relações gerais entre a Geografia e a Literatura. Daí em diante o movimento estava bem estabelecido (CORRÊA; ROSENDAHL, 2007). A paisagem cacaueira do sul da Bahia transita na literatura regional de há muito, dando cores e vida aos personagens que povoam os romances, cordéis, poesias, músicas, trovas. Neste artigo estão em foco os principais autores que, em seus escritos, tiveram como personagem principal o cacau, responsável pelas mudanças socioespaciais da região sul da Bahia. Contudo, será dada maior ênfase à literatura amadiana, por entender que Jorge Amado, com seus romances, não só apresentou a região ao Brasil, mas ao mundo.

Authors: Suzuki Júlio César

A crônica é um gênero  literário que permite  trazer à  tona questões, sensações,  visões  e  representações  do cotidiano,  tal  qual  se  pode perceber  de  modo  bastante contundente  no  diário  de  viagem  de Mário  de Andrade,  O Turista Aprendiz,  no  qual  a  fcção  e  o  real  se mesclam, a partir de uma voz narrativa que humaniza a si e aos outros, bem  como  nos  permite  conhecer  liames  fnos  de uma  viagem  de múltiplas dimensões, por meio de descrições que, sem a pretensão de serem pormenorizadas, possuem caráter eminentemente sinestésico. Assim, objetivamos analisar o signifcado da descrição do espaço na reconstrução  da  viagem  empreendida  em O Turista Aprendiz,  como mediação  importante  para  o aprofundamento  da  relação  entre Geografa e Literatura na compreensão do espaço.
Imagens sobre aquecimento global em websites ambientais: notas sobre a educação visual acerca da clássica relação sociedade e natureza / Images about global warming on environmental websites: visual education about the classic relationship between society
Authors: Braga Aline Atsuta , Cazetta Valéria
Published: September 2018

Um dos aspectos marcantes da educação visual contemporânea é a facilidade de obtenção de imagens e sua disponibilização pelo meio dos mass media. Paradoxalmente, estas informações em imagens estão sendo veiculadas a partir de abordagens que apresentam imaginações acerca do pensamento espacial, ancoradas em um repertório imagético ocidental que remonta à própria história da relação dos grupos sociais com o espaço. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar imagens de websites ambientais sobre o aquecimento global a partir da hipótese de que estas imagens nos educam visualmente acerca do referido fenômeno, deslocando, frequentemente, imagens produzidas em contextos geográficos específicos para um significado único, afinal, o aquecimento é global. Relativizamos, assim, o papel atribuído à escola no que se refere à construção do que seria o aquecimento global, de modo que outros educadores e domínios pedagógicos também estão a produzir imagens acerca dos agravos ao modo de vida de homens e mulheres.
Novas cartografias on line, arte contemporânea e outras geografias / New Online Cartographies, Contemporary Art and Other Geographies
Authors: Leirias Ana Gabriela
Published: September 2018

Práticas cartográficas recentes têm privilegiado aspectos processuais e relacionais em sua elaboração. são formas de representação do espaço que consideram aspectos simbólicos, subjetivos, imaterais e poéticos. Tais práticas são evidências da relação dos sujeitos e da experiência destes no/do espaço. No contexto da arte contemporânea as cartografias que queremos tratar se utilizam das novas tecnologias (como as mídias locativas) e do suporte da internet para documentar, desenvolver e divulgar suas ações. Consideramos as práticas artísticas como ações que partem do espaço e o modificam, já que as cartografias não só representam como criam um território. Todo mapa é uma reterritorialização. Pretendemos refletir as apropriações tecnológicas na criação de cartografias, visando outra representação do espaço para além da hegemônica, propondo novas cartografias, novos mapas contemporâneos.
Um Mapa do Tráfico no Livro Didático: Encontros e Desencontros entre Geografia Escolar e Cartografia Midiática / A Map of the Drug Trade in the Geography Textbook: Dialogues between Geographic Education and Journalistic Cartography
Authors: Novaes André Reyes
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo discute as relações entre geografia escolar e cartografia midiática tendo como ponto de partida a polêmica criada em torno de um mapa sobre o tráfico de drogas ilícitas veiculado na imprensa e inserido em um livro didático de geografia. Partindo deste caso específico, a primeira seção discute o mapa sob o ponto de vista da geografia escolar, considerando o contexto curricular do sétimo ano e a transposição didática do conceito de território proposta pelos autores. Posteriormente, a reflexão é guiada pela ótica da cartografia midiática, explorando a linguagem do mapa em questão e debatendo formas alternativas de representação através de mapas veiculados na imprensa nacional nos últimos quarenta anos. Por fim, busca-se estimular uma incorporação crítica dos mapas midiáticos na geografia escolar, considerando como estas representações podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de uma cartografia menos “normativa” e mais “interpretativa” nas escolas.
Sabor & Paisagem à Luz de Bachelard: convite para sentar-se à mesa / Flavour and landscape in the light of Bachelard
Authors: Gratão Lúcia Helena Batista
Published: September 2018

O texto que se apresenta segue pelo campo de exploração da paisagem à luz de Bachelard no sentido de (con)ceder ao saber geográfico o lugar que ocupa o sabor permeado pela memória e pelo imaginário. Um atravessar de mundos (mundo da filosofia e mundo da geografia) procurando dar passagem aos sonhos e devaneios que circunscrevem o campo da poética, buscando decifrar o sabor como essência da terra evocando a casa onírica. Sabor e paisagem no prolongamento de sentidos e extensão do espaço telúrico. Transcurso que se faz pela escrita da terra enquanto significado de geografia. Uma geografia feita por si mesma. Uma geografia feita no confronto com os lugares existenciais. Uma geografia impregnada de valores existenciais enraizados pelo sabor.
A Geografia do Vinho / The Geography of Wine, de Brian J. Sommers
Authors: Camacho Adilson
Published: September 2018

O texto que ora se apresenta é resumo de um diálogo com o trabalho de Brian J. Sommers com base tanto no que encontrei de muito positivo, e que reafirmo, quanto no que identifiquei como falta, caminhos e raciocínios supostos pelo que foi posto, propiciando a maior das ousadias cabíveis ao leitor: realizar sucessivas sínteses implicadas no texto sob controle muito relativo de autor e leitor; tudo, apenas possível por que o texto foi escrito, e publicado. Caminhamos pelas informações gerais sobre o autor e seu livro, seguimos por brevíssimos comentários dos dezoito capítulos, procurando um lugar para concluir.
