¿Qué intereses se representan en el Congreso? Legisladores mexicanos con antecedentes en grupos de interés, 2006-2015
Authors: Solís Delgadillo Diego , Cortez Salinas Josafat
Published: December 2018

La literatura ha asumido que los grupos de interés actúan como actores externos al Congreso y que influyen en la toma decisiones mediante intercambios políticos o persuasión. Sin embargo, aquí mostramos que los grupos de interés están representados en el Congreso mexicano. Este trabajo analiza las carreras de 1500 diputados para explorar la relación entre partidos políticos y grupos de interés. Teóricamente sostenemos que los partidos políticos dan acceso a grupos de interés que aumentan sus probabilidades de éxito y que son cercanos a sus políticas preferidas. Los resultados muestran una estrecha relación entre los grupos empresariales y los partidos de derecha, en especial el Partido Acción Nacional, y que hay mayores probabilidades de acceso para los grupos empresariales en el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) y el Partido Verde Ecologista de México. En contraste, los grupos sindicales y civiles son representados por partidos de izquierda y el PRI

Authors: Pereira Alexandre Fontes , Silva Paulo Henrique Alves , Pinheiro Patrícia Fontes , Braga Leonel Martins , Pinheiro Carlos Alexandre
Published: December 2018

Neste trabalho foi avaliado a influência de duas linhagens de levedura, baixa fermentação (Saflager) e alta fermentação (Safbrew), três fontes de nitrogênio (sulfato de amônio, peptona de caseína e um pool de aminoácidos, nas concentrações 5 g/L e 25 g/L, e o controle (sem adição de nitrogênio), na cinética de fermentação e na composição da cachaça. Os parâmetros da cinética de fermentação foram: pH, acidez total, teor de sólidos solúveis e o teor alcoólico, em amostras coletadas em 12, 24, 48, 72 e 96 horas de fermentação. A média de concentração final de etanol nos mostos foi de 7,7 ºGL. As amostras de cachaça foram analisadas por cromatografia a gás, sendo que os alcoóis superiores, propan-1-ol, álcool isobutílico e isoamílico tiveram comportamentos diferentes para as linhagens de leveduras de baixa fermentação e alta fermentação. A concentração de 5 g/L das fontes nitrogenadas já foi suficiente para elevar as concentrações  dos alcoóis superiores nas amostras de cachaça.DOI: 2446941601012015045

Authors: Do Carmo Denis Uiliam Candido , Da Silva Júlio César , Izolani Antônio Orlando
Published: December 2018

O rio Paraíba do Sul é um importante rio da região Sul Fluminense do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, pois abastece dezenas de cidades desta região, sendo importante o seu monitoramento. Para isto, foram definidos pontos de coletas para as amostras de água superficial, levando em consideração o acesso à parte central do curso do rio e a distribuição de moradias e empresas ao longo do mesmo, identificando as prováveis áreas de maior contaminação. Logo, realizou-se um levantamento / avaliação em campo de alguns indicadores (pH, Sólidos Totais Dissolvidos, DQO, Cloretos, Alcalinidade Total, Dureza Total, Temperatura), de acordo com a variabilidade espacial e temporal. Estes pontos de coleta foram delimitados, com o auxílio do Google Earth, no perímetro urbano entre as cidades de Barra do Piraí - RJ e Vassouras - RJ. Analisando os valores encontrados, verificou-se uma possível autodepuração do rio, já que os valores de uns indicadores diminuíram e de outros aumentaram, de montante para jusante.DOI: https://doi.org/10.18540/2446941601022015001

Published: December 2018

Promover a recuperação de óleos em processos de fabricação ou para eliminá-los de águas residuais, pode-se adicionar um produto químico ao sistema. Entre as técnicas comuns para remover óleos, a adsorção parece ser uma das mais simples. Ao contrário, ao se desejar remover óleos de materiais sólidos a dessorção, empregando um material químico pode ser promissora. Neste trabalho, experimentos, empregando o equipamento Jar Test, foram realizados visando a remoção de óleo vegetal de materiais sólidos fracionados em tamanhos variados. Óleo de soja foi empregado para contaminar o material sólido disposto em placas de Petri, já triturado para os testes. Dois surfactantes distintos, qual seja o cocoamido propil betaina ou o lauril éter sulfosuccinato de sódio, foi dissolvido em água da rede pública para tratar o material. As análises da fase sólida foram feitas por gravimetria. Os resultados experimentais de análise da fase sólida apontam a EVA como sendo o de menor remoção de óleo dentre os testados.DOI: 2446941601022015045

Authors: Queiroz Lorena Aires Lombardi , Araújo Thamires Soares , Caño Andrade Maria Helena
Published: December 2018

A Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) é uma fonte promissora de óleo vegetal com capacidade de produção de até 5000 kg /ha. O processo de refino é essencial, não só para a remoção de impurezas que reduz a qualidade do óleo, bem como para fornecer ao consumidor uma cor mais apreciada. O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver o refino de óleo da polpa da Macaúba com o foco na fase de clarificação, onde foi investigado o efeito da temperatura e da quantidade de adsorvente comercial. Além disso, avaliou-se o uso de carvão ativado produzido a partir do endocarpo de Macaúba como um substituto parcial econômico de adsorventes. A utilização de 6% de adsorvente comercial a 90 oC promoveu uma capacidade de branqueamento de cerca de 84%. A utilização de uma mistura de adsorvente comercial e carbono ativado promoveu uma maior capacidade de branqueamento (acima de 90%) e aumentou a remoção de fosfolipídios.
O PROGRAMA DE REGULARIZAÇÃO AMBIENTAL (PRA) COMO NOVO MODELO DE RECUPERAÇÃO DO PASSIVO AMBIENTAL: FALÊNCIA DO “PUNIR PARA CONSCIENTIZAR”
Authors: Nunes Danilo Henrique , Lehfeld Lucas de Souza
Published: December 2018

O novo Código Florestal de 2012 traz como um dos institutos inovadores o Programa de Regularização Ambiental (PRA) quanto à recuperação da degradação do meio ambiente no campo. Busca-se, pelo referido instrumento político-administrativo viabilizar uma tutela ambiental mais efetiva, uma vez que faz um diagnóstico do passivo ambiental por meio do Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR), e propõe uma recuperação monitorada, com prazos e métodos condizentes com a realidade dos proprietários e possuidores rurais. Vem substituir o modelo tradicional do “punir para conscientizar”, baseado no princípio do poluidor-pagador, que notoriamente demonstra ineficácia quanto à tutela constitucional do meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Parte-se de outro pressuposto, qual seja, a conversão da recuperação do passivo ambiental em prestação de serviços ambientais. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo baseia-se em pesquisa bibliográfica e jurisprudencial, com a utilização dos métodos hipotético-dedutivo e indutivo.
Análisis del mercado de biomasa forestal con fines energéticos en la zona de Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Authors: Ulloa Alonso , Camacho Diego , Arias Dagoberto , Valverde Juan Carlos
Published: December 2018

Ante la inestabilidad de los precios de los combustibles y la variabilidad climática, los precios de la electricidad son un aspecto sensible para la competitividad del país. La utilización de energías alternativas se ha convertido en una excelente opción de autoabastecimiento para empresas privadas y una manera de bajar la factura eléctrica y la ruta hacia un sistema energético nacional bajo en carbono. En el presente estudio se analizó el mercado de la biomasa con fines energéticos en la zona de Guanacaste. El estudio comprendió el mercado de biomasa de la región, tomando como núcleo forestal la zona de Abangares y evaluando las plantaciones forestales (oferta) y las empresas consumidoras de biomasa (demanda) en un radio de 100 km del núcleo de producción. La evaluación de la oferta se basó en datos consultados de FONAFIFO y de las proyecciones potenciales de residuos de las plantaciones; por su parte la demanda se obtuvo mediante encuestas y caracterizaciones de las empresas que actualmente consumen biomasa. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que la especie dominante en reforestación fue T. grandis con un 40,3 % del total de área reforestada en la región, seguida por G. arborea con 13,2 % y con una potencialidad anual de generación de residuos superior a 98 000 ton en el caso de T. grandis y de 44 000 ton en G. arbórea. En cambio, la demanda mostró una capacidad superior a 250 000 ton/año, siendo que actualmente el 48 % es suplido por combustibles fósiles y apenas el 15,1 % por biomasa forestal (generalmente astillas). Al analiza el impacto financiero del posible cambio de combustibles por biomasa, se encontraron ahorros superiores al 50 %; sin embargo; encontrando la limitante que la biomasa existente (residuos del manejo forestal), no sería suficiente para suplir más del 57 % del mercado actual.
Ecuaciones alométricas para la estimación de la biomasa arbórea a partir de residuos de plantaciones de Gmelina arborea y Tectona grandis en Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Authors: Rodríguez Mainor , Arias Dagoberto , Valverde Juan Carlos , Camacho Diego
Published: December 2018

El uso de los residuos de los raleos y las cosechas finales de plantaciones de Gmelina arborea y Tectona grandis con fines energéticos, se ha convertido en una actividad financieramente viable en los años más recientes; sin embargo en la mayoría de los casos ni el productor ni el comprador tienen un estimado de la biomasa generada. Para efectos de facilitar la comercialización de la biomasa es necesario disponer de ecuaciones alométricas que faciliten una estimación de la biomasa producida. En el presente trabajo se planteó como objetivo generar y validar ecuaciones alométricas para el cálculo de la biomasa forestal aérea a partir de los residuos de plantaciones de Gmelina arborea y Tectona grandis; el estudio se desarrolló con tres plantaciones de T. grandis y dos plantaciones de G. arborea con distintas edades; cosechando individuos y calculando la cantidad de biomasa producida. Se analizaron nueve modelos alométricos y se encontró una relación de decrecimiento del porcentaje de residuos conforme aumentaba el diámetro de los individuos de ambas especies. Para T. grandis el mejor modelo fue B= 7,350,16*d con un R2 de 0,75 y un cuadrado medio del error de 85,51; para G. arborea el mejor modelo fue B= 5,401,24*d con un R2 de 0,82 y cuadrado medio del error de 100,54. La viabilidad de uso de estos modelos es con la finalidad de estimar los residuos de la cosecha de las plantaciones que no es maderable, ya que múltiples estudios muestran la funcionalidad de los modelos incluyendo el uso de la madera.

Published: December 2018

Los sistemas agroforestales (SAF) del trópico americano contienen componentes arbóreos valiosos por sus cualidades maderables y ecológicas. Cordia alliodora(Ruiz & Pav.) Oken es una las especies comúnmente asociada a cultivos como cacao, plátano y café en centro y Sudamérica; cuyos aportes al volumen de madera regional representa un porcentaje importante de extracción. En México es notable la falta de investigación sobre el crecimiento de especies arbóreas en SAF. En este trabajo se midió y comparó el crecimiento de cinco categorías diamétricas de C. alliodora del estado de Oaxaca durante diez meses, así como tres categorías de incidencia de luz en su copa. También se correlacionó la temperatura y la precipitación anual promedio con el crecimiento en diámetro de las categorías diamétricas y las incidencias de luz en la copa. Se obtuvo un crecimiento promedio de 0.17 cm y las categorías que más crecieron fueron las de 5 y 15 cm (p≤0.01); los árboles con copas escasa y parcialmente iluminadas crecieron significativamente más (p≤0.01) que aquellas totalmente iluminadas. La temperatura se correlacionó positivamente (p≤0.01) con el crecimiento de las categorías 5, 15, 20 y 25 cm. El crecimiento no se relacionó proporcionalmente con el tamaño de los árboles. La temperatura promedio determinó un patrón estacional del crecimiento en diámetro.

En este estudio, se determinaron las principales plantas de importancia nutricional para la abeja sin aguijón Trigona fulviventris (Guérin- Méneville), en un fragmento de bosque seco secundario en Pocosol, Área de Conservación Guanacaste durante la época lluviosa. Mediante la colecta de individuos de T. fulviventris se obtuvo un total de 26 tipos polínicos, cuyas especies más representativas correspondieron a los estratos de herbáceas y arbustos. Adicionalmente, pese a no observar el comportamiento fenológico habitual a la época del año, se realizó una colecta de plantas con el propósito de abarcar las especies de mayor importancia dentro del rango de vuelo de esta especie de abeja. Para el análisis del polen se utilizaron métodos palinológicos cuyos resultados mostraron una convergencia del 27 % de coincidencia, al comparar el polen extraído de las abejas con el de las plantas colectadas. Asimismo, con ayuda de índices ecológicos se midió la riqueza, dominancia y uniformidad de las plantas colectadas. De esta forma se determinó la presencia de las especies de mayor representatividad al momento del estudio en el sitio (Baltimora recta y Dorstenia contrajerva). Finalmente, se logró documentar el comportamiento de T. fulviventris con respecto a la búsqueda de recursos nutricionales limitados (2015).

Colistin sulphate is the ultimate antimicrobial choice for the treatment of multidrug resistance gram negative bacteria infections with in human. The purposes of this study were to detect the presence of colistin resistant E. coli and mcr-1 gene in broiler and to transfer the mcr-1 gene to Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076. A total of 54 one day old broilers were divided into three groups that consists of 18 chicks broiler per group and raised up to 40 days old. The first group was used as control. The first treatment group was given colistin sulphate 5 ìg/g feed for 40 days and broilers in second treatment group was given 80.000 IU/kg body weight for first three days. Swab cloaca samples were taken every 10 days from each broiler. At age 40 days all chickens were slaughtered and meat samples were collected. Samples of cloacal swabs, fresh and cooked meat were examined for the presence of colistin resistant E. coli and mcr-1 gene. Susceptibility to colistin sulfate was conducted by agar dilution method, and detection of mcr-1 gene was conducted using polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that no colistin resistant E. coli was detected in the control group. Colistin resistant E. coli (27.78%) and mcr-1 gene (20.00%) were detected in animals in the first treatment group, respectively. Whilst 11.11% colistin resistant E. coli and 5.56% were carriying mcr-1 gene in the second treatment group. Colistin resistant E. coli were found 5.56% from raw meat samples and 3.70% had mcr-1 gene. Transfer of mcr-1 gene from colistin resistant E. coli to Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076 was success. These results showed the necessity of limitation usage of colistin sulphate in food animal.

Sukabumi District is one of the districts in West Java Province that has not been rabies-free since there are still reported rabies dog bites and rabies-positive cases in humans. The aim of the study was to measure the knowledge, attitude and practice of dog’s owner towards rabies which will then be useful for designing the appropriate rabies control programs. A total of 141 dog owners were selected as samples/ respondents. Respondents were taken from two sub-districts in Sukabumi District, which were 66 people from Jampang Tengah Sub-district and 75 people from Cisolok Sub-district. The data were taken using structured questionnaire. The result showed that most of respondent’s level of knowledge (51.1%) was in moderate category, meanwhile the respondent’s level of attitude related to rabies control program mostly (69.5%) was in positive category. But the positive attitude was not reflected with their practice towards rabies control program which many of them (63.1%) was in bad category of rabies control practices. From analytical result showed that only one characteristic variablewhich was the information access about rabies that had significant correlation (c2=9.959, p=0.006) towards respondent’s level of knowledge. Furthermore, another result showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge variable with respondent’s attitude level (p= 0.000, r= 0.275).

Slug Days by S. Leach
Authors: Eke Victoria
Published: December 2018

Leach, Sarah. Slug Days. Illustrated by Rebecca Bender. Pajama Press Inc., 2017.

On slug days, Lauren feels “slow and slimy." Nothing seems to go her way. Her classmates yell at her. Her teachers are short with her. She feels like she has no friends, and that no one likes her. On butterfly days, however, everything is great; Lauren makes her classmates laugh, works on special project with her mother, and gets to eat her favourite ice cream. As a young girl with Asperger Syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who has trouble understanding social cues and coping with change, Lauren has more slug days than butterfly days.

Canadian author Sara Leach and illustrator Rebecca Bender provide invaluable insight into the daily struggles of children living with an ASD. As Lauren navigates through a regular week involving school and time at home, the reader is made aware of the difficulties she faces in effectively communicating with her parents, peers, and teachers. Often taking things literally, Lauren misunderstands directions and advice, which often gets her into trouble. At times, Lauren becomes frustrated and angry. While she recognizes the onset of such feelings, she has trouble controlling her behaviour. Without focusing on the disorder itself, this story provides for the reader a first-person perspective of a child on the spectrum. Bender’s lively illustrations complement the text, increasing comprehension for younger readers.

While there are bouts of humour throughout the book, there is a general air of sadness that follows Lauren from the beginning of the story to the end. Apart from Ms. Lagorio who helps Lauren practice conversing with others, the adults in Lauren’s world have a seemingly poor understanding of her condition, as well as her “plan” for avoiding strong emotional reactions and conflict, a reality for many children living with an ASD.

This chapter book is highly recommended for public and elementary school libraries, as well as parents and educators alike.

The Pond by N. Davies
Authors: Borle Sean
Published: December 2018

Davies, Nicola. The Pond. Illustrated by Cathy Fisher. Graffeg, 2017.

In this picture book, a half-finished garden pond, “a muddy, messy hole that filled our garden,” becomes a metaphor for a family’s grief at the death of a father, “a muddy, messy hole that filled our hearts.” The story highlights the fact that when someone dies, the family loses not only the person, but also the activities that the family did with that person. Eventually, the mother in this story gets the pond lined and it starts to come to life with tadpoles, dragonflies and a water lily, mirroring the family’s progression through their grief. 

The artwork really carries the story forward, and accompanied by the simple text Nicola Davies depicts aquatic environments in a variety of ways. Her work is cinematic, capturing the movement and messiness of pond life.  She uses dark colours, splatters, scribbles and fractures in lines to depict the family’s grief. Some of the images are beautiful.  Her water lilies on solid black backgrounds are exceptional. The images in this book will engage all ages.

This book would be good for children coping with loss or those preparing to cope with loss and should be a part of public and school library collections. 

Recommendation:  4 stars out of 4Reviewer:  Sean Borle

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat bagaimana akses terhadap air bersih pada masyarakat Surabaya dan dampak buruknya akses terhadap air bersih terhadap produktivitas. Sumber air masyarakat Surabaya sebanyak 70% berasal dari air PDAM, sedangkan sisanya berasal dari air tanah melalui sumur, tetapi di masyarakat miskin hanya 54% menggunakan air keran. Akses yang buruk ke air bersih dapat menyebabkan penyakit, terutama diare. Dengan analisis Two Way ANOVA terbukti bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan onset diare dengan sumber air bersih untuk mandi / mencuci dan kelompok masyarakat berdasarkan pendapatan. Diare menyebabkan hilangnya waktu kerja sehingga terjadi penurunan produktivitas. Rata-rata hari kerja yang hilang adalah 3,7 hari dengan hilangnya kerugian produktivitas sebesar Rp1.041.400 yang diperoleh oleh pembagian perkiraan PDB Surabaya pada tahun 2014 dengan tenaga kerja. Berdasarkan prevalensi diare 1,2%, total kerugian karena akses buruk ke air bersih untuk mandi / mencuci pada PDB Surabaya dikenal sebesar Rp1.640.003.100.000.

Published: December 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as vivências de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho de professores substitutos de uma universidade federal, a partir das peculiaridades desse vínculo. Adotou-se uma aproximação entre os fundamentos teórico-metodológicos da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, do Materialismo Histórico-Dialético e da Sociologia do Trabalho, as quais compreendem o trabalhador enquanto dotado de subjetividade, agente na construção e transformação do seu trabalho. Realizou-se pesquisa de campo com amostra proposital de nove docentes substitutos da Universidade Federal do Maranhão-UFMA, de áreas do saber variadas, em exercício, no ano de 2014, e dois chefes de departamento da mesma instituição. Os resultados apontam vivências de prazer e sofrimento com impactos na identidade docente e predomínio de estratégias de defesa individuais.
A GRANDE QUESTÃO PARA SER PROFESSOR É SABER CRIAR MECANISMOS PARA NÃO ADOECER”: PRAZER E SOFRIMENTO NO TRABALHO E AS ESTRATÉGIAS ELABORADAS POR DOCENTES DE ESCOLAS ESTADUAIS
Authors: Breunig Yohanna , Perez Karine Vanessa
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que contou com a participação de oito professores do município de Santa Cruz do Sul/RS. Tem como objetivo investigar como a organização de trabalho atua na produção de prazer e sofrimento de professores de escolas públicas, considerando as estratégias (defensivas, de permanência do sujeito no trabalho e de mobilização subjetiva e coletiva) elaboradas para evitar o adoecimento. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma adaptação da metodologia strictu sensu da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho. A partir da análise e interpretação dos dados, constatou-se que o reconhecimento dos alunos é a maior fonte de prazer dos professores, motivando-os a continuar investindo em seu trabalho. Contudo, os docentes revelam haver pouco reconhecimento de sua categoria pela sociedade, além de sentirem-se desestimulados pelos gestores públicos. Destarte, foi evidenciada a necessidade de maiores investimentos na educação e reconhecimento dos professores, para que eles transformem seu sofrimento em prazer, na medida em que compreenderem que seu esforço possui significado.
