(Title: Value Of Justice In Japanese Community Management). The Japanese Revolution brought the glory of the country into a just and prosperous country. The success of several companies in this country has been recognized worldwide. The key to the success of these companies is because they have managed to integrate traditional and modern management. Traditional management that is rooted in a culture that is lived and carried out in daily life in the form of family principles is fully implemented. While to catch up, they are open and adopt modern management. This combination of management in turn provides the place, roles and responsibilities of each family member so that a sense of justice is achieved for all members and companies. Employee loyalty to the company can be accounted for and the stability of the company as a condition of the company's progress is fulfilled so that the company is ready to develop rapidly. The values of justice reflected in Japanese management are individuals who carry out obligations in the interest of groups as a form of commutative justice. Whereas groups that provide justice to individuals are a form of distributive justice. The balance between rights and obligations is a form of legal justice.

Eye tracking student strategies for solving stoichiometry problems involving particulate nature of matter diagrams
Authors: Baluyut John Y. , Holme Thomas A.
Published: February 2019

This study compared how students obtained and used information from particulate nature of matter (PNOM) diagrams as well as balanced chemical equations when asked questions about stoichiometry concepts such as limiting and excess reagents, and yield. The comparisons were made in terms of visual behaviors by examining eye fixations while students responded to a 30-item online instrument. Statistically significant differences were found between visual behaviors of high- and low-performers on seven items, mostly those that dealt with correctly identifying the limiting reagent for each diagram. High-performing students were found to have spent more time examining PNOM diagrams and transitioned more frequently between parts of the diagrams and other areas of interest (AOIs) than low-performing students did. This study gives an example of how underlying strategies students used to respond to conceptual stoichiometry questions may be triangulated by the use of both quantitative and qualitative techniques in relation to eye tracking visual behaviors.

Published: February 2019

In traditional large-scale industrial applications of solvent extraction, there are some limitations such as low extraction efficiency, emulsification, co-extraction, and potential safety hazards. Recently, the application of microfluidic technology in solvent extraction has been dedicated to avoid the above problems effectively. However, manufacturing microchannels becomes a key problem before the application of such a new technology. In this article, the design and fabrication of a “Y”-shaped microreactor by using a three-dimensional (3D) printer, and its feasibility for extraction and separation, is illustrated. The extraction performance of a “Y”-shaped microreactor was investigated by carrying out the extraction of In3+ and Fe3+ from a sulfate solution under different experimental conditions. When the residence time was 210 s, the volume fraction of extractant (D2EHPA) was 30%, and the initial pH value of the aqueous solution was 0.7, the extraction rate of In3+ and the separation coefficient βIn/Fe were 98.07% and 1593, respectively. Remarkably, the handling capacity of the 3D-printed “Y” microreactor presented in this work with a channel length of 36 mm was superior, whereas the extraction rate of In3+ was very close to that of the previously reported microchip with a channel length of 120 mm.
Inheritance of Top Branching in Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus L.) Collection Samples
Authors: Vedmedeva K.V.
Published: February 2019

Aim of our research was to study the genetic diversity and establish the inheritance of top branching trait in the collection of 34 sunflower lines of the Institute of Oilseed Crops of the NAAS.

Experiments were carried out in 2005–2016 according to classical cultivation methods, using manual castration, crossings, forced self-pollinating, isolation and visual assessment of the first and second generation of obtained descendants. The statistical reliability of the obtained ratio was confirmed by calculating the Pearson’s chi-squared test.

Presence of two loci determining the inheritance of the branching trait in sunflower was established. In one locus, recessive alleles are responsible for manifestation of the branching trait. In the second locus, dominant alleles are responsible for the manifestation of the branching trait.

In 23 lines of sunflower, it was established that a recessive homozygote for one gene causes phenotypical top and full branching.

In 8 lines of the collection, full branching trait is due to the dominant allele of the gene. In the lines InK235, APS49, the presence of two genes was established, the dominant alleles of which determine full branching trait. In the APS56 line, full branching is controlled by the dominant alleles of three genes.
A pilot study on newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Beijing
Authors: Gong Li-fei , Gao Xiao , Yang Nan , Zhao Jin-qi , Yang Hai-he , Kong Yuan-yuan
Published: February 2019

Background

A provisionary screening programme for 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) was initiated in Beijing in 2014. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and the associated clinical characteristics of neonatal congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in Beijing and to provide evidence-based guidance for its application in CAH screening.

Methods

Live birth newborns (n=44,360) were screened for CAH in Beijing from July 2014 to April 2018. The levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in the blood were estimated using the time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay. Neonates with a positive result and a level >30 nmol/L of 17-OHP were called for a retest. CAH was diagnosed based on further laboratory findings combined with clinical signs, such as weight loss, feeding difficulties, skin pigmentation, and atypical genitalia. Through a review of medical records, the clinical findings including molecular data were reported.

Results

Of the 44,360 neonates screened, 280 cases were deemed positive. Of these, 203 neonates were recalled for further tests and six patients (three boys and three girls) were diagnosed with CAH. Five cases of classic salt-wasting and one case of simple virilising 21-OHD were identified. The incidence of CAH in Beijing was 1:7393. The most frequent 21-OHD mutation was c.293-13C/A>G.

Conclusions

The incidence of CAH in Beijing was higher than the national average. The results support the need for neonatal CAH screening in Beijing. This pilot study demonstrates the clinical characteristics of 21-OHD through newborn screening. Early detection and treatment through neonatal screening may reduce mortality rates and optimise developmental outcomes.
Effects of maternal obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and fetal macrosomia on the frequency of cesarean deliveries among migrant and non-migrant women – a prospective study
Authors: Breckenkamp Juergen , Razum Oliver , Henrich Wolfgang , Borde Theda , David Matthias
Published: February 2019

Background

Maternal obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and fetal macrosomia may affect the health of the mother and the newborn, and are associated with cesarean delivery. Pregnant women with a migration background have a higher risk of obesity but nevertheless a lower frequency of cesarean deliveries than women from the majority population. This study assesses which of these factors most influence the risk of a cesarean delivery and whether their prevalence can explain the lower cesarean rates in migrant women.

Methods

A total of 2256 migrant women and 2241 non-immigrant women subsequently delivering in three hospitals of Berlin/Germany participated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the effects of obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and macrosomia on cesarean delivery. Standardized coefficients (STB) were used to rank the predictors.

Results

Obesity was more frequent in immigrant than among non-immigrant women. The mean gestational weight gain was independent of migration status. The frequency of macrosomia increased with maternal weight. Obesity and excessive gestational weight gain were the most important predictors of cesarean besides older age; fetal macrosomia played a much smaller role. Despite similar distributions of the three risk factors, the frequency of cesarean deliveries was lower in migrant than in non-immigrant women.

Conclusion

The presence of obesity and/or excessive gestational weight gain is associated with an increased risk of a cesarean delivery; fetal macrosomia does not increase the risk when obesity and weight gain are considered. The distribution of these risk factors is similar in migrant and non-immigrant women, so they cannot explain the lower frequency of cesarean deliveries in migrant women.
Polymorph-induced photosensitivity change in titanylphthalocyanine revealed by the charge transfer integral
Authors: Li Xiaolong , Xiao Yin , Wang Shirong , Yang Yuhao , Ma Yongning , Li Xianggao
Published: February 2019

The crystal form of semiconductor materials is keenly correlated with the photosensitivity of optoelectronic devices. Thus, understanding the crystal form-dependent photosensitivity mechanism is critical. In this work, the microemulsion phase transfer method was adopted to prepare α- and β-titanylphthalocyanine (TiOPc NPs) with an average diameter of 35 nm. The photosensitivity (E
1/2) of α-TiOPc NPs was 2.73 times better than that of β-TiOPc NPs, which was characterized by photoconductors under the same measurement conditions. DFT was performed to explain the relationship between crystal form and photosensitivity by systematically calculating the charge transfer integrals for all possible dimers in the two different crystal forms. The hole and electron reorganization energies of TiOPc were respectively calculated to be 53.5 and 271.5 meV, revealing TiOPc to be a typical p-type semiconductor. The calculated total hole transfer mobility (μ
+) ratio (2.83) of α- to β-TiOPc was almost identical to the experimental E
1/2 ratio (2.73) and the calculated photogeneration quantum efficiency (η
e-h) ratio (2.23). In addition, the optimum hole transfer routes in the crystal of α- and β-TiOPc were all along with the [1 0 0] crystal orientation, which was determined by the calculated μ
+. A high charge transfer mobility leads to a high photosensitive TiOPc crystal. Consequently, these results indicate that the selected theoretical calculation method is reasonable for indirectly explaining the relationship between crystal form and photosensitivity. The TiOPc molecular solid-state arrangements, namely, the crystal forms of TiOPc, have a strong influence on the charge transport behavior, which in turn, affects its photosensitivity.

Authors: Aniya Masaru
Published: February 2019

The properties of the materials are intimately related to the nature of the chemical bond. Research to explain the peculiarities of superionic materials by focusing on the bonding character of the materials is presented. In particular, a brief review of some fundamental aspects of superionic conductors is given based on the talk presented at “Solid State Chemistry 2018, Pardubice” in addition to some new results related to the subject. Specifically, the topics on bond fluctuation model of ionic conductors, the role of medium range structure in the ionic conductivity, bonding aspects of non-Arrhenius ionic conductivity and elastic properties of ionic conductors are discussed. Key concepts that are gained from these studies is stressed, such as the importance of the coexistence of different types of bonding, and the role of medium range structure in glasses for efficient ionic transport in solids. These concepts could help the development of new materials.

Breitbandig durchstimmbare Infrarotstrahlung im mittleren Wellenlängenbereich von etwa 3 bis 10 µm bzw. 1000 bis 3200 Wellenzahlen kann effizient zur Spektroskopie gasförmiger, flüssiger oder fester Stoffe und Gemische verwendet werden. In diesem Beitrag wird ein neuartiges quasi-statisches mikro-opto-elektro-mechanisches (MOEMS) Gitter zur spektralen Durchstimmung einer Infrarotlichtquelle auf Basis eines Quantenkaskadenlasers (QCL) vorgestellt. Das Konzept vereint die Vorteile breitbandiger Quellen mit denen kohärenter Laserquellen in einem miniaturisierten Aufbau. Das quasi-statische Antriebsprinzip erlaubt im Gegensatz zur resonanten Bewegung das Scannen mit vorgegebenen Trajektorien und einstellbarer Geschwindigkeiten und damit eine höhere spektrale Auflösung. Zur Stabilisierung der Bewegung wird MOEMS-Bauelement mittels integrierter Positionssensoren geregelt. Dieser Beitrag stellt die dynamischen Eigenschaften eines MOEMS-Mikrospiegels mit integriertem Beugungsgitter, sowie die damit gewonnenen experimentellen Ergebnisse beim Durchstimmen eines QCL im Bereich von 4150 bis 4600 nm Wellenlänge vor.

Selective Generation of Free Hydrogen Atoms in the Reaction of Methane with Diatomic Gold Boride Cations
Authors: Chen Qiang , Zhao Yan-Xia , Chen Jiao-Jiao , Jiang Li-Xue , He Sheng-Gui
Published: February 2019

The thermal reaction of diatomic gold boride cation AuB+ with methane has been studied by using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry in conjunction with density functional theory calculations. The AuB+ ion can activate a methane molecule to produce exclusively the free hydrogen atom, an important intermediate in hydrocarbon transformation. This result is different from the reactivity of AuC+ and CuB+ counterparts with methane in previous studies. The AuC+ cation mainly transforms methane into ethylene. The CuB+ reaction system principally generates the free hydrogen atoms, but it also gives rise a portion of ethylene-like product H2B−CH2. The B atom of AuB+ is the active site to activate methane. The strong relativistic effect on gold plays an important role for the product selectivity. The mechanistic insights obtained from this study provide guidance for rational design of active sites with high product selectivity toward methane activation.
Electrochemical Measurements in Thin Electrolyte Layers Using Sintered Silver/Silver Chloride Electrodes
Authors: Khullar Piyush , Kelly Robert G.
Published: February 2019

There remains a need to be able to make electrochemical measurements in thin films in a way that allows accurate assessment of the electrochemical kinetics. Methods used to date suffer from uneven current distribution and can cause modifications of the thin electrolyte, both of which can affect the kinetics measured. The present work investigates the use of commercially available sintered silver/silver chloride (SSSC) electrodes as combined reference electrodes/counter electrodes to allow electrochemical measurements in thin electrolyte films. A range of working electrode type, electrolyte geometry, and electrolyte compositions were studied. Where possible, direct comparisons were made between results using the SSSC and a standard three-electrode arrangement. In all cases, the SSSC results well reproduced those obtained with the conventional arrangement. In addition, a range of electrochemical measurements in thin films, including during ASTM B117, Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus, salt spray testing, were conducted and demonstrated the utility of this arrangement. Limitations of the use of SSSC electrodes are also discussed, including the fact that currents above 1 mA led to polarization of the SSSC electrode of approximately 20 mV. Although this paper focused on one particular cell configuration, the concept of combined reference electrodes/counter electrodes can be extended to different configurations requiring measurements of corrosion behavior either through continuous electrochemical impedance spectroscopy/linear polarization resistance monitoring or polarization scans.
Why Edgar Anderson Visited Math Departments
Authors: Kleinman Kim
Published: February 2019

Edgar Anderson of the Missouri Botanical Garden had long and rich collaborations with such mathematicians and mathematically inclined biologists as R. A. Fisher, Sewall Wright, and John Tukey. It was Anderson’s Iris data that Fisher used to develop his linear discriminant function to capture multiple variations. A sabbatical with Wright in 1933 helped hone Anderson’s mathematical skills while helping him understand what mathematics could and could not do. He and Tukey shared an interest in conveying data graphically. This long-standing commitment to applying mathematics to natural history problems informed his scientific career as he sought to capture the variations he recognized in the natural populations. He used graphical tools to examine hybridization as an evolutionary mechanism and to use the taxonomic data from these variations to study the underlying genetic forces at work in evolution. In important synthesis articles in the mid-1950s, he summarized his conclusions about applied mathematics and natural history. They were not mere technical tools, but reflected a commitment to observation and pattern recognition as the basis of his science. Understanding these views more fully deepens an appreciation of this constantly independent-minded contributor to evolutionary theory in the twentieth century.

Published: February 2019

The emergence of opportunistic Acinetobacter spp. in healthcare settings poses a significant threat to public health. The major reasons for nosocomial spread of these species are their abilities to develop and transfer drug resistance against various classes of antibiotics. Considering that Acinetobacter spp. are ubiquitous in nature, can utilize several carbon sources, and reach humans via various pathways, our aim was to obtain information about the environmental strains of this genus. Our first step was to develop and test a multistep isolation procedure based on traditional scientific methods. Antibiotic resistance patterns of the isolated strains were determined, as susceptibility to 12 antibiotics of 7 classes was tested by MIC Test Strip method. Altogether 366 samples (groundwater, surface water, and soil) of 24 sites were investigated and a collection of 37 Acinetobacter isolates was obtained. Among others, clinically important human pathogen Acinetobacter spp., such as A. baumannii, A. johnsonii, and A. gyllenbergii were identified. Three environmental strains were determined as multidrug-resistant including a carbapenem-resistant, hemolytic Acinetobacter beijerinckii strain isolated from a hydrocarbon-contaminated groundwater sample. In summary, it has been found that the applied multistep isolation procedure is applicable to isolate various species of Acinetobacter genus. Based on the antibiotic resistance assay, we can conclude that environmental representatives of Acinetobacter spp. are able to develop multidrug resistance, but at a lower rate than their clinical counterparts.
Rootstock-scion interaction: 4. Effect on the sensory characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wine
Authors: Miele Alberto , Rizzon Luiz Antenor
Published: February 2019

Abstract It is known that rootstock can induce changes on grapevine yield components and on the physicochemical composition of musts and wines. However, its effect on the sensory characteristics of wines has been scarcely studied. For this reason, an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of 15 rootstocks on the sensory characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, whose grapevines were grafted on Rupestris du Lot, 101-14 Mgt, 3309 C, 420A Mgt, 5BB K, 161-49 C, SO4, Solferino, 1103 P, 99 R, 110 R, Gravesac, Fercal, Dogridge and Isabel, which feature some genetic diversity altogether. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with 15 treatments, three replicates, 10 vines per plot. Mature grapes were harvested, and wines were made in 20-L glass recipients. When alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were finished, the wines were bottled and stored at 18°C. Sensory analysis was performed in the next year, following international procedures. The tasting panel was formed by 12 experienced enologists, who evaluated the wines in individual cells separated by opaque glass. They were served monadically and the perception of each taster was recorded in 9-cm unstructured scale sheets. Twenty-two variables were evaluated, which were related to the visual, olfactory and taste aspects. The results show that the tasting panel was not able to detect significant differences (p> 0.05) of rootstocks in any variable related to the sensory characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wine.

Published: February 2019

The article analyses the activity of the British Council (BC) in East Europe, in particular that of education, science, fine arts and social sphere. The activity of the BC in Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary in the early XXIst has been outlined. These countries have been chosen for special analysis given their complicated process of transforming and adopting their respective institutions and social sphere towards the democratic standards within the framework of their joining NATO and the EU. A series of the BC’s successful projects in the spheres of culture and education have been investigated. Some serious issues blocking the further operational activity of the organization have been outlined.

The activity of the BC has been presented as that exemplifying successful cultural diplomacy aimed to ameliorate the international image of the UK, as well as to spread its influence in the key regions of the globe and thus strengthen its international position.

On the other hand, the activities taken by the BC to popularize the British standards of culture and education motivates the youth worldwide to enter British universities and to attend language courses both in the UK and abroad. A problematic issue of the BC’s activities is a certain mistrust of public thereto. Thus, the latter together with the British House of Commons have been criticizing the prices for services provided by the BC and therefore accusing it of giving special touch to the British Council.

Due to the operational activities of the BC, the UK successfully partakes in resolving both regional European issues (i.e. migration issues, worldviews conflicts etc.) and those of global nature.

The practice of bankruptcy procedures for citizens in Russia showed their lack of effectiveness, which is due, among other things, the uncertainty of legal regulation of the issues of restoring their solvency. Objectives of the article are formation of a logically and scientifically based methodology for developing a plan for the restoration of citizens’ solvency, taking into account the financial and economic features of citizens’ activities and the requirements of legislation, theoretical substantiation of legal and economic criteria for the restoration of citizens’ solvency in order to improve the efficiency of bankruptcy rehabilitation procedures.According to the results of the study at the theoretical level author determinedthe essence of the restoration of the solvency of the citizendebtor, which allowed to formalize the legal and economic criteria for the restoration of their solvency. A methodology has been developed for developing a plan for the restoration of citizens' solvency. Author formulated proposals to improve the legal regulation of bankruptcy procedures of citizens, taking into account their financial and economic features.It was concluded that the plan to restore the solvency of citizens can be considered as a form of a contract between creditors and a debtor, significantly reducing the costs of opportunism and increasing the efficiency of bankruptcy procedures. The obtained results are of practical importance for the regulator and participants in bankruptcy proceedings with respect to citizens, as well as theoretical significance in terms of helping to contribute to the development of the theory of solvency of citizens.

He was rewarded with two gold medals for his students' works: “Vessels and nerves of sinews of the human foot” (with his student V.P. Vorobyov) and “Dislocations of bones of the wrist.” Notably, during the Russian-Japanese war, S.R. Mirotvortsev spent 11 months in the besieged Port Arthur and remained with the wounded who were taken prisoner by the Japanese there. From 1905 to 1914, S.R. Mirotvortsev worked in the Military Medical Academy (Saint Petersburg), initially under the leadership of Professor S.P. Fedorov and then as assistant for Professor V.A. Oppel. From 1914 until the end of his life, S.R. Mirotvortsev worked in Saratov, in the Department of General Surgery; beginning in 1920, he was a member of the fa­culty of the surgical clinic. From 1922 to 1928, S.R. Mirotvortsev was the rector of Saratov University. In the period of the Great Patriotic War, he was the chief surgeon of Saratov and the Saratov region. S.R. Mirotvortsev published approximately 150 scientific works regarding questions of clinical and field surgery. In 1908, he demonstrated the first transplantation of ureters in the rectum and defended a doctoral dissertation (1909) on this subject. Broad popularity was gained by his work regarding malignant new growths, particularly sarcomas of tubular bones. S.R. Mirotvortsev developed methods of unilateral closure of the large intestine, determined the plasticity of the sealing gland of the meninx, and processed burn wounds with potassium permanganate solution. S.R. Mirotvortsev suggested the use of the hemostatic properties of catgut for local cessation of bleeding from parenchymatous bodies and channels within the meninx. His numerous works on field surgery provided statistical analysis of 180 000 cases involving gunshot wounds; these were especially valuable during World War I (1914–1918). Notably, the Department of Faculty Surgery of the Saratov Medical Institute, as well as a street in Saratov, carries the name of S.R. Mirotvortsev. He was awarded the Labour Red Banner, the Red Star, and numerous medals.
Sport Scandal Investigations: An ‘Independent’ Solution or Part of the Problem?
Authors: Wall Tweedie Joanna
Published: February 2019

This study investigated the use and content of sports scandal investigation reports. Many such reports are self-described as “independent.” This paper serves to elucidate some of the issues around “independence” and limitations of these investigations. The analysis is discussed in connection to the unique context of sport governance structures and policy, along with the related issues of autonomy, transparency, and accountability. A content analysis method was employed to analyze a purposive sample of post-scandal reports from the past decade pertaining to international professional sport. The results revealed the efforts to portray independence in the reports and identified potential threats to independence. The analysis and corresponding discussion provide recommendations for future report procedure, interpretation, evaluation, and legal policymaking.
Is Agricultural Investment in China Affected by Economic Slowdown?
Authors: Chen Kevin Z. , Chen Ying , Fan Shenggen
Published: February 2019

This paper assesses the existing and possible future impact of economic slowdown on agricultural investment in China. It finds that growth in agriculture was more resilient during the recent economic slowdown than growth in the manufacturing and service sectors. In addition, robust domestic food demand and various forms of government support are likely to continue contributing to increases in agricultural investment and to the adjustment of investment structure. Moreover, while increasing the amount of investment is important, it is equally important to increase the efficiency of public investment and to strike an optimal balance between public and private investment. Finally, to inform evidence‐based policy changes, future research should analyze the effect of agricultural investment on reductions in poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.
Socio‐economic Implications of Food Safety Standards in India
Authors: Jena Pradyot Ranjan
Published: February 2019

Food safety issues have increasingly become priority for the consumers due allegiance to increasing income standards and awareness about food contamination. Developing country governments are paying attention to such demand and revising their food standards. Indian Government have consolidated the earlier food safety laws under one umbrella Act, namely Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA), which was implemented in 2011. This paper critically reviews the socio‐economic implications of food contamination in India and the scope of FSSA in dealing with them. The analysis finds out that although the current framework is comprehensive, there are many loopholes in terms of implementation. For example, agricultural crop producers do not come under the ambit of current law. Street food vendors that are responsible for many food contamination incidents in the past are still not effectively monitored due to lack of qualified food safety officers. Food traceability system in India is still evolving and it is voluntary. There is a need for private‐public partnership to promote adoption of traceability system in the country. The paper suggests some ways forward for the effective implementation of the food safety Act in India.
Looking Beyond Rice and Wheat: Climate Change Impacts on Food Systems and Food Security in India
Authors: Sharma Asha N. , Pingali Prabhu
Published: February 2019

Extant studies on potential climate change impacts in India, however, solely focus on the big 3 staples — rice, wheat and maize —which have attracted much of the attention of the scientific community. Such narrow focus is an incomplete portrayal of the potential climate change impacts on food security given the growing recognition of production diversity for improved human nutrition. To address this gap, this paper estimates the potential impacts of climate change on 17 Indian crops using district level data. We identify particular crops based upon their degree of vulnerability to climate change. We further use climate models to project two representative climate pathways (RCPs). Our findings have useful implications for climate change adaptation and production diversity in order to enhance food security achieve better nutritional outcomes.
A Casa dos índios: a história de vida de um artefato
Authors: Soares Antonio Carlos
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo trata de uma casa tradicional Mbyá Guarani, denominada popularmente como casa dos índios, que esteve instalada durante mais de dez anos no pátio do Museu Arqueológico do Rio Grande do Sul – Marsul. Ao narrar a história de vida desta casa, surgem questionamentos acerca da sua natureza. Buscando descrever as relações sociais que envolvem a construção da casa dos índios, a partir da documentação arquivada no Marsul, se recorre aos pressupostos da antropologia perspectivista e da antropologia dos objetos para situar a sua construção e musealização como artefato em um circuito de mercadorias baseado na reciprocidade. Tenta-se conceituar a Casa dos Índios a partir da perspectiva Mbyá, por meio de etnografias específicas, comparando simetricamente os conhecimentos indígena aos conhecimentos modernos ocidentais.
The Impossible Dream: Scientism as Strategy against Distrust of Social Science at the U.S. National Science Foundation, 1945–1980
Authors: Solovey Mark
Published: February 2019

Distrust of the social sciences has deep roots in American politics, science, and culture. This article examines how distrust became a serious issue in the nuclear age by focusing on the U.S. National Science Foundation’s involvement with the social sciences from 1945 to 1980. I propose, first, that in this context distrust of NSF’s social science activities came in two forms, which rested on two different sources of doubt. Epistemological Distrust stemmed from doubts about the scientific status of the social sciences. Social Distrust involved worries about the social relevance and policy uses of the social sciences. Second, I propose that efforts to address and contain these two types of distrust played a major role in NSF’s elaboration of a view of the social sciences and corresponding strategy for funding them that I will refer to as Scientism, which assumed a unified scientific framework that took an idealized conception of the natural sciences as the gold standard.
