Fundraising and Collaboration: The Hebrew University and the German Question, 1959–1965
Authors: Livne Sharon , Morris-Reich Amos
Published: December 2017

The present article explores the internal debates, tension, and controversies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem over academic collaborations with and fundraising in West Germany between 1959 and 1965. In our estimation, a key to understanding this freighted topic is the way The Hebrew University perceived itself, especially in comparison to Israel’s other major academic institution at the time – the Weizmann Institute. Not only did the university assume the mantle of an advanced research center, but considered itself a national body that represents and symbolizes the State of Israel and the entire Jewish People.
Cavity nonlinear optics with layered materials
Authors: Fryett Taylor , Zhan Alan , Majumdar Arka
Published: December 2017

Unprecedented material compatibility and ease of integration, in addition to the unique and diverse optoelectronic properties of layered materials, have generated significant interest in their utilization in nanophotonic devices. While initial nanophotonic experiments with layered materials primarily focused on light sources, modulators, and detectors, recent efforts have included nonlinear optical devices. In this paper, we review the current state of cavity-enhanced nonlinear optics with layered materials. Along with conventional nonlinear optics related to harmonic generation, we report on emerging directions of nonlinear optics, where layered materials can potentially play a significant role.

Published: December 2017

Background

In the University Medical Centre Mainz, standard concentrations are defined for medicinal products to be administered by continuous injection with syringe pumps in adult intensive care patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical stability of ready-to-use and ready-to-administer preparations containing Epinephrine (E) and Norepinephrine (NE) in standardized concentrations and prepared batch wise in the pharmacy department as basis for assigning shelf-lives.

Methods

E 20 µg/mL and NE 10 µg/mL in disposable syringes and NE 40, 100, 200, 400 µg/ml in 50 ml amber type I glass vials were prepared batch wise and the concentrations were analyzed by stability-indicating, validated reversed-phase HPLC-PDA assays. Test solutions for long-term stability studies were stored under refrigeration (2–8 °C) for 6–12 months or at elevated temperatures (21–27 °C) light protected for up to 6 months or without light protection for up to one month. Osmolality and pH were measured on predefined intervals.

Results

The concentrations of E in 50 mL syringes and NE in 10 mL syringes remained unchanged over a period of 6 months when stored at 2–8 °C. NE preparations of different concentrations prepared in amber glass vials remained stable over a study period of 12 months. At RT the shelf-life decreased to about 6 months and the exposure to mixed daylight at RT caused loss of stability in only few days.

Conclusions

Batch wise preparation of ready-to-administer (RTA) preparations containing 20 µg/mL E or 10 µg/mL NE in disposable syringes as well as ready-to-use (RTU) preparations containing 40, 100, 200 and 400 µg/mL NE was successfully implemented in a pharmacy department. Storage of the preparations at refrigerated temperatures is required to obtain acceptable shelf-lives of 6–12 months. Elevated temperatures and especially exposure to mixed daylight significantly decreased the shelf life.
Menschen mit Behinderungen in Deutschland – Schwerpunkte des Zweiten Teilhabeberichts 2016
Authors: Engels Dietrich
Published: December 2017

Der Teilhabebericht zeigt ein differenziertes Bild der Lebenslagen von Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen auf. Sie erfahren oftmals weniger Unterstützung von ihrem sozialen Umfeld, schätzen ihren Gesundheitsstatus als schlechter ein, haben oft niedrigere Berufsabschlüsse und in der Folge auch geringere Einkommen als Menschen ohne Beeinträchtigungen. Je schwerer die Beeinträchtigung, desto geringer sind die Teilhabechancen. Weitere wissenschaftliche Forschung sowie gesamtgesellschaftliche und politische Bemühungen sind notwendig, um eine Chancengerechtigkeit herzustellen.

Der Gesetzgeber sieht dafür zahlreiche Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten vor, deren Inanspruchnahme Betroffene jedoch vor ein Etikettierungs-Ressourcen-Dilemma mit Angst vor Stigmatisierung stellen kann. Bei der Lösung dieses Dilemmas spielt die Unternehmenskultur eine zentrale Rolle.
The Crisis of Masculinity: Jez Butterworth’s Mojo
Authors: Biçer Ahmet Gökhan , Günenç Mesut
Published: December 2017

During the late twentieth century, crisis of masculinity appears in all societal settings; at work, at school, on the street and in the family. The crisis of fatherhood, anxiety, power, and abuse create the crisis of masculinity. As a concrete example of the masculinity crisis Jez Butterworth’s most discussed stage play Mojo was first performed at London’s Royal Court in 1995. This paper takes Mojo under observation as a frontier play depicting a male identity that portrays rock and roll culture, gangland violence, and male Soho gangsters of the 1950s. With these concepts in mind, this paper analyses the contemporary anxieties related to masculinity through witty, absurd dialogues and homoerotic relationships of this striking play.
Degradable Mg alloy composites using fly ash cenospheres
Authors: Zhikang Ji , Sirong Yu , Xiaoli Yin
Published: December 2017

The feasibility of fabricating Mg alloy degradable composites with fly ash cenospheres (FACs) using stir casting has been demonstrated. The effects of FAC addition (mass fraction: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 wt.%) on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior were investigated using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, density tests, compression tests, immersion tests and electrochemical measurements. The result shows that the degradable composites are mainly composed of α-Mg, β-Mg17Al12, Mg2Si and MgO phase, and FAC can refine the grain size. The average measured densities of the FAC/Mg alloy composites are higher than the theoretical values due to the formation of the Mg2Si phase, which are in the range of 1.8843–2.0526 g/cm3. The compressive strength of the degradable composites dramatically enhances with the addition of FAC, and the maximum strength is 375 MPa with the 8-wt.% mass fraction, which can be attributed to the refined grains and the formation of massive Mg2Si phase. Furthermore, the corrosion rate of the degradable composites with 10 wt.% FACs shows the highest value of 5.02 g/h in 3 wt.% potassium chloride solution at 80°C, which is three times higher than the corrosion rate of composites without FAC. With the increase in FAC content, more Mg2Si phases formed; thus, micro-galvanic corrosion works well in the composites.
The Youth Guarantee in Italy and the New Policy Design Approach: Expectations, Hopes and Delusions
Authors: Vesan Patrik , Lizzi Renata
Published: December 2017

The article presents an empirical analysis of the Italian Youth Guarantee (YG) based on the approach of the new policy design. After having reviewed the most recent literature concerning this analytical approach, it examines the rationales, actors, aims, and contextual factors, as well as the political dynamics, that characterised the design of the YG national plan and its first implementation at the local level. The article argues that the Youth Guarantee offered the opportunity to think about the reorganisation of responsibilities and operational governance mechanisms in the domain of active labour market policy. Although some innovations and discontinuities are evident, the path of reform is still largely incomplete.
Material Well-being and Happiness in Transition Countries
Authors: Družić Marko , Majstorović Martina
Published: December 2017

The purpose of this paper is to further the research of the connection between material well-being and happiness in transition economies. We analyzed panel data obtained from the World Database of Happiness and Eurostat. Our results indicate that out of all the major macroeconomic variables (GDP, employment, inflation, taxes etc.), the most significant (and the only stable) predictor of changes in happiness in transition countries is the level of employment. The results are consistent with a hypothesis of a still prevalent “socialist mentality” in the analyzed sample of countries which are all formerly socialist economies that typically place high (or full) employment as the highest economic priority (as opposed to GDP growth, low inflation etc.). Our results differ from the conclusions of the few studies done on this sample of countries, which suggests additional research on the subject is likely required.

Monoterpenes induce the heat shock response in Arabidopsis
Authors: Hara Masakazu , Yamauchi Naoya , Sumita Yoshiki
Published: December 2017

Monoterpenes are common constituents of essential oils produced by plants. Although it has been reported that monoterpenes enhanced the heat tolerance of plants, the mechanism has not been elucidated. Here, we tested whether 13 monoterpenes promoted the heat shock response (HSR) in Arabidopsis. To assess the HSR-inducing activity of monoterpenes, we produced transgenic Arabidopsis, which has the β-glucuronidase gene driven by the promoter of a small heat shock protein (HSP17.6C-CI) gene. Results indicated that two monocyclic and four bicyclic monoterpenes showed HSR-inducing activities using the reporter gene system. In particular, (−)-perillaldehyde, which is a monocyclic monoterpene, demonstrated the most potent HSR-inducing activity. (−)-Perillaldehyde significantly inhibited the reduction of chlorophyll content by heat shock in Arabidopsis seedlings. Our previous study indicated that chemical HSR inducers such as geldanamycin and sanguinarine inhibited the activity of plant chaperones in vitro. (−)-Perillaldehyde also inhibited chaperone activity, indicating that it might promote the expression of heat shock protein genes by inhibiting chaperones in the plant cell.

Published: December 2017

The Lothagam harpoon site in north-west Kenya's Lake Turkana Basin provides a stratified Holocene sequence capturing changes in African fisher-hunter-gatherer strategies through a series of subtle and dramatic climate shifts (Figure 1). The site rose to archaeological prominence following Robbins's 1965–1966 excavations, which yielded sizeable lithic and ceramic assemblages and one of the largest collections of Early Holocene human remains from Eastern Africa (Robbins 1974; Angel et al. 1980).
Wetland management strategies lead to tradeoffs in ecological structure and function
Authors: Peralta Ariane L. , Muscarella Mario E. , Matthews Jeffrey W.
Published: December 2017

Anthropogenic legacy effects often occur as a consequence of land use change or land management and can leave behind long-lasting changes to ecosystem structure and function. This legacy is described as a memory in the form of ecological structure or ecological interactions that remains at a location from a previous condition. We examined how forested floodplain restoration strategy, based on planting intensity, influenced wetland community structure and soil chemical and physical factors after 15 years. The site was divided into 15 strips, and strips were assigned to one of five restoration treatments: plantings of acorns, 2-year-old seedlings, 5-ft bareroot trees, balled and burlapped trees, and natural seed bank regeneration. Our community composition survey revealed that plots planted with bareroot or balled and burlapped trees developed closed tree canopies with little herbaceous understory, while acorn plantings and natural colonization plots developed into dense stands of the invasive species reed canary grass (RCG; Phalaris arundinacea). Restoration strategy influenced bacterial community composition but to a lesser degree compared to the plant community response, and riverine hydrology and restoration strategy influenced wetland soil conditions. Soil ammonium concentrations and pH were similar across all wetland restoration treatments, while total organic carbon was highest in forest and RCG-dominated plots compared to mixed patches of trees and open areas. The differences in restoration strategy and associated economic investment resulted in ecological tradeoffs. The upfront investment in larger, more mature trees (i.e., bareroot, balled and burlapped) led to floodplain forested communities, while cheaper, more passive planting strategies (i.e., seedlings, seedbank, or acorns) resulted in dense stands of invasive RCG, despite the similar floodplain hydrology across all sites. Therefore, recovery of multiple ecosystem services that encompass plant and microbial-derived functions will need to include additional strategies for the recovery of plants, microbes, environment, and functions.
Ecologia organizacional e teoria Institucionalista: rumo a um modleo interativo
Authors: Monte Palma Lopes Arleson Eduardo
Published: December 2017

No presente trabalho abordaremos sobre o processo de interação ambiental, utilizando em sua análise duas perspectivas distintas: ecologia organizacional e teoria institucionalista. No primeiro momento, o texto apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os dois construtos teóricos e em seguida será feita uma discussão de como a utilização dessas teorias podem contribuir para compreensão do fenômeno. Apesar, das divergências entre as duas perspectivas, os autores, na revisão bibliográfica feita, concluem que elas são convergentes. A convergência entre as duas correntes teóricas ocorre quando reconhecem que o ambiente é a base central da sobrevivência organizacional. A ecologia organizacional vê as empresas em forma de população e que cabe as ambiente selecionar as mais adaptadas. Já a perspectiva institucionalista enfatiza que as organizações são moldadas por aspectos subjetivos do ambiente. Portanto, para compreender o processo de sobrevivência organizacional e isomorfismo é preciso considerar as suposições das perspectivas já citadas.
IMPLICAÇÕES DE UM CENTRO DE SERVIÇOS COMPARTILHADOS NA CONTABILIDADE GERENCIAL: UMA ABORDAGEM INSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Beuren Ilse Maria , Souza Luciane Regina Braçaroto de , Feuser Helena de Oliveira Leite
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Este estudo analisa, sob a abordagem institucional, as implicações da implantação de um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados (CSC) nas funções da Contabilidade Gerencial. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, a partir de um estudo de caso em empresa situada na região Sul do Brasil, constituída sob a forma de um CSC. Sob a lente da Teoria Institucional, consubstanciada no modelo proposto por Burns e Scapens (2000), foi analisada a institucionalização de regras e rotinas na Contabilidade Gerencial da empresa. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que a implantação do CSC teve implicações diretas e indiretas nas funções da Contabilidade Gerencial, visto que foi necessário alterar várias de suas funções, atividades, divisionalizações, inclusive profissionais, portanto, uma reestruturação ampla e profunda em todo o setor. Quanto às dicotomias de mudanças ocorridas com a implantação do CSC, foram observadas mais mudanças formais do que informais, evolucionárias do que revolucionárias e progressivas do que regressivas nas funções da Contabilidade Gerencial. Conclui-se com base na análise triangulada dos dados coletados, que a implantação do CSC na empresa pesquisada teve implicações significativas na estrutura organizacional e na natureza das funções da Contabilidade Gerencial, as quais resultaram na institucionalização de novas regras e rotinas nos moldes preconizados por Burns e Scapens (2000). Os resultados do estudo contribuem para o desenvolvimento de novos papéis na Contabilidade Gerencial, sob o argumento que o modelo de CSC gerou novas regras e rotinas em toda a corporação, com implicações diretas e indiretas nos papéis gerenciais institucionalizados.
Spatial and temporal variations in fish assemblage: testing the zonation concept in small reservoirs
Authors: Baumgartner M. T. , Baumgartner G. , Gomes L. C.
Published: December 2017

Abstract Large reservoirs usually present spatial gradients in fish assemblage, distinguishing three strata (littoral, pelagic, and bathypelagic) along the vertical and horizontal axes, and three zones (fluvial, transitional, and lacustrine) along the longitudinal axis. The main objective of this study was to assess if small reservoirs also present the spatial gradients in fish assemblage attributes and structure as already observed in large reservoirs. Fish surveys were conducted quarterly, from 2003 to 2008, in the Mourão Reservoir (Mourão River, Paraná, Brazil), using gillnets with different mesh sizes, arranged in all strata of all three zones. Community attributes (species richness and evenness) were calculated for each sample, and differences were tested using three-way ANOVA (factors: zone, strata, year). Community composition was summarized using Correspondence Analysis (CA) and differences were tested with three-way ANOVA for each axis, controlling the same three factors. Because of the high variability in reservoir water level through time, all analyses were made considering temporal variations. Species richness presented a decreasing trend from fluvial to lacustrine zones, and higher values in littoral strata, possibly because upper reaches and littoral regions provide better conditions for fish to feed and to reproduce. Evenness was considerably low, presenting high variability, and no evident pattern. The expected longitudinal gradient was not found in this study indicating longitudinal similarity, contrary to observed in large reservoirs. Vertical and horizontal gradients were observed in all sampling stations, indicating that abiotic and biotic conditions are influencing fish distributions within the reservoir.
RELAÇÕES ENTRE RELIGIOSIDADE E HOMOSSEXUALIDADE EM JOVENS ADULTOS RELIGIOSOS
Authors: Ribeiro Laura Moraes , Scorsolini-Comin Fabio
Published: December 2017

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é conhecer de que modo a homossexualidade tem sido compreendida por jovens adultos homossexuais praticantes de diferentes religiões. Foram entrevistados 11 participantes de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 20 e 30 anos, praticantes das religiões católica, espírita e evangélica. Os participantes responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada, analisada pelo modelo bioecológico. A maior parte dos participantes relata que sua religião considera a homossexualidade como um “pecado” ou “doença”. Entretanto, todos discordam de visões negativas sobre a homossexualidade. A maior parte dos participantes afirma possuir um relacionamento positivo com a comunidade religiosa, sendo que poucos relataram situações de desconforto ou discriminação. Observa-se que os elementos microssistêmicos relacionados à comunidade religiosa que frequentam, como movimentos de aceitação, acolhimento ou restrições, parecem ser mais significativos para o desenvolvimento pessoal que o conjunto de crenças que compõem o macrossistema religioso.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Water must be supplied to a crop in the proper amount and in a timely manner. Vegetables require a good water availability in soil during their entire cycle. Thus, it is very important the implementation of an irrigation management and accurate estimation of water requirement. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of five irrigation depths estimated by the dual-Kc and single-Kc methodologies on the characteristics of growth, production and water use efficiency in the pepper crop. A randomized block design was adopted in a split plot arrangement. The effect of five irrigation depths (50, 75, 100, 125 and 150% of crop evapotranspiration - ETc) was evaluated in the plots, and the methodologies were evaluated in the subplots. It was evaluated the root dry matter, total fruit production, leaf temperature, number of aborted flowers and water use efficiency. The interaction between both effects was not significant for any of the variables. The effect of methodology was observed only on the number of aborted flowers. The effect of the irrigation depths was significant on all variables. The irrigation depths that lead to the best agronomic characteristics were superior to 100% of ETc. The ratio between the irrigation depths estimated by single-Kc and dual-Kc methodologies was 1.14. Single-Kc methodology and irrigation depth of 143% ETc were more suitable for the horticulturist. The most efficient irrigation depth in the use of water was 105% ETc.

ABSTRACT Anaerobic biodigestion of solid and semi-solid wastes has been widely used for the treatment of these residues and methane production; however, during the process (more specifically in the acidogenic phase), there is a tendency of pH reduction, an unfavorable condition to methanogenic bacteria. Thus, the present work aims to evaluate the methanization potential of an agroindustrial anaerobic granular sludge (AIS) from UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor, individually and biodigested with food waste (FW) from the University Restaurant of the Federal University of Pernambuco with buffering agent (AIS + FW + b) and without it (AIS + FW). After the laboratory tests, the AIS + FW + b configuration obtained a cumulative methane production approximately six times greater than that of AIS + FW, and approximately twice that of the inoculum alone (AIS).

Abstract Introduction Hospitalization may cause a decline in oral health and affect the entire body. The intensive care unit (ICU) may be a favorable environment for oral biofilm to accumulate in critically ill patients. Objective To identify factors associated with oral biofilm in ICU patients in a hospital for infectious diseases. Method This was a retrospective, descriptive and inferential study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 178 medical records of patients from January 2012 to July 2015. Biofilm presence was assessed according to the Greene and Vermillion index. Potential influential factors were analyzed by logistic regression. Result Among ICU patients, 69.1% were men, 60.7% had acquired immune deficiency (AIDS), 66.3% were ward patients, 50.6% were intubated, and 50.0% were sedated. The oral elements of the patients were mostly normal. The following characteristics were significantly associated with oral biofilm: changes in the lips, gums, cheeks, and palates and bleeding. Patients from the ward had a lower risk of biofilm. Conclusion Increased oral biofilm accumulation was observed in patients with oral changes, and patient origin was associated with the presence of biofilm.

Resumo Introdução A rugosidade de superfície é uma limitação que interfere nos desempenhos mecânico e estético do cimento de ionômero de vidro (CIV), sendo necessária a utilização de procedimentos para acabamento e polimento adequados às propriedades desse material. Objetivo Avaliar o efeito de diferentes sistemas de acabamento e polimento na rugosidade, dureza e superfície de restaurações realizadas com dois tipos de CIV. Material e método Foram utilizados 100 corpos de prova (CP), divididos em 10 grupos, de acordo com o tipo de CIV (convencional e modificado por resina) e o sistema de acabamento e polimento empregado [C-tira de poliéster (controle); PD-ponta diamantada; DA-discos abrasivos; PE-ponta Enhance; BM-broca multilaminada]. Após sete dias em água destilada, os CP foram avaliados em Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV) e submetidos aos testes de rugosidade de superfície e microdureza Vickers. A análise estatística foi realizada com ANOVA dois fatores e pós-Teste de Tukey. Resultado A análise por MEV indicou superfície mais lisa no grupo BM em ambos os tipos de CIV. Quanto à rugosidade, observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) entre grupos do CIV convencional, mas não houve diferença entre os tipos de CIV. Com relação à dureza, o CIV convencional apresentou melhores resultados que o modificado por resina. No fator materiais de acabamento e polimento, não se verificou diferença estatisticamente significativa, independentemente do tipo de CIV. Conclusão os grupos BM apresentaram melhores resultados ao MEV; o tipo de CIV não influenciou os valores de rugosidade; o tipo de polimento não influenciou a dureza.

Published: December 2017

Sustentado em uma prática educacional construtivista, dialógica e baseada em competência, este artigo discute uma tradição racionalista/objetivista de ensino-aprendizagem. Expressões artísticas, especialmente cinematográficas, são apresentadas como disparadores educacionais. Educandos organizados em pequenos grupos compartilham, correlacionam e conversam sobre suas emoções, possibilitando uma melhor compreensão das racionalidades envolvidas no processo de aprendizagem. Como os grupos apresentam diferentes estágios de problematização das emoções, propomos categorias para apoiar docentes e integrantes na identificação da natureza conversacional dos grupos, favorecendo suas intervenções e contribuições para o desenvolvimento individual e social dos participantes, com referência a um perfil de competência.

Resumo Em Para além do código digital, Carlos Sandano analisa a prática jornalística com base nas transformações provocadas pelas novas tecnologias da informação. Para isso, o autor efetua uma atualização de conceitos como a neutralidade, a objetividade e a autonomia, tendo como base tanto a filosofia da ciência como a teoria do jornalismo e apoiando-se em estudos de casos empíricos. O objetivo é verificar quais os valores (cognitivos, epistemológicos e sociais) estão vinculados ao jornalismo e como esses valores são trabalhados na contemporaneidade. Como parte do mundo digital, interconectado e globalizado, o jornalismo ainda teria um papel social e cognitivo a cumprir, principalmente como articulador de vozes e de visões de mundo distintas, como uma forma de produção de conhecimento que visa o endossamento do espaço público democrático.

ABSTRACT: Cysticercosis is caused by Taenia solium, a parasitic zoonosis that affects human and pigs raised free-range in developing countries. The epidemiology of the taeniosis cysticercosis complex in Brazil is poorly understood especially when it comes to field research. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and identify the risk factors associated with porcine cysticercosis in rural communities located in the east of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil. From 371 farms in the county of Tumiritinga/MG, 101 farms from 14 communities were randomly sampled. Blood samples from pigs were collected, and epidemiological questionnaires were carried out. The serum samples obtained were analyzed through immunodiagnosis techniques, including ELISA and Western Blot, both for the detection of antibodies. The data obtained by different surveys were analyzed using EpiInfo 3.5.1 software to determine seroprevalence and risk factors associated with cysticercosis. The prevalence of farms with porcine cysticercosis was 9.9% (10/101) and antibody-based seropositive was 5.3% (13/247). The results indicate that cysticercosis occurs in high level in the rural area never studied before. These results suggest the presence of tapeworm carriers contributing to the occurrence and maintenance of this zoonotic life cycle in the county. Regarding risk factors, the most significant determinants for porcine cysticercosis in the field were free-range pig management (OR: 17.4, p: 0.0001), the method of disposal of human faeces in the environmental (OR: 7.6; p 0.012), and the size of the farm. Porcine cysticercosis was diagnosed only in areas represented by Agrarian Reform Settlements. From the results, it is possible to recommend as a means of control and prevention the destination of human faeces in appropriate sanitary landfills and the production of pigs in an enclosed area. Additionally, improving education in the communities sampled will indirectly affect the spreading of this disease. The results draw attention to the largest studies of this zoonotic disease in human settlements from rural areas due to the lack of knowledge about the epidemiology of the taeniosis-cysticercosis complex. The results could serve as the basis to support public policies aimed at creating an effective program to control the taeniosis-cysticercosis complex in the studied area. Awareness of TC among medical doctors, veterinarians, meat animal family producers and the public should be developed through appropriate information and education.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT: Sida carpinifolia poisoning causes a chronic neurodegenerative disorder associated with lysosomal storage by indolizidine alkaloids (swainsonine). The epidemiological, clinical, pathological and lectin histochemistry findings of an outbreak of natural poisoning by S. carpinifolia in horses in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, are described. Five horses from a total of 15 that were kept on native pasture with large amounts of S. carpinifolia presented during 90 days clinical signs of progressive weight loss, incoordination, stiff gait and ramble, in addition to exacerbated reactions and locomotion difficulty after induced movement. Four horses died, and one of them was submitted for necropsy. At necropsy, no significant gross lesions were observed. Histological findings observed in the central nervous system were characterized by swollen neurons with cytoplasm containing multiple microvacuoles; these abnormalities were more severe in the thalamus, hippocampus, cerebellum and pons. Using lectin histochemistry, the pons and hippocampus sections stained positive for commercial lectin Con-A, sWGA and WGA. This study aimed to detail S. carpinifolia poisoning in horses to be included in the differential diagnoses of neurological diseases of horses.

RESUMO: A paca (Cuniculus paca), um dos maiores roedores da fauna brasileira, possui características inerentes à sua espécie que podem contribuir como uma nova opção de animal experimental; assim, considerando-se que há crescente busca por modelos experimentais apropriados para ortopedia e pesquisas cirúrgicas, foram analisados e descritos em detalhes a anatomia microscópica e ultraestrutural do joelho desse roedor. Os ligamentos colaterais são constituídos por feixes de fibras colágenas arranjadas paralelamente e com trajeto ondulado. Os fibroblastos formavam fileiras paralelas às fibras colágenas; quanto aos ligamentos colaterais, estes apresentaram citoplasma imperceptível à avaliação por microscopia de luz, entretanto, em análise ultraestrutural verificou-se vários prolongamentos citoplasmáticos. Microscopicamente, as estruturas presentes no joelho da paca assemelham-se às dos animais domésticos, roedores e lagomorfos.
Uma particularidade italiana? Psicanálise, modernização e sociologia do consumo na Itália dos anos 1960
Authors: Pasqualini Mauro
Published: December 2017

Resumo Durante os anos 1960, a psicanálise experimentou uma expansão notável na Itália. Um dos cenários da crescente difusão de teorias psicanalíticas foi o mundo de marketing e sociologia do consumo. Com base no caso do sociólogo Francesco Alberoni, podemos examinar o impacto das teorias de Melanie Klein para entender o comportamento dos consumidores. Da mesma forma, o “caso Alberoni” serve para observar as preocupações e incertezas sobre a modernização social na Itália e também para perguntar sobre as especificidades da crescente importância da psicanálise na Itália na década de 1960.

RESUMO Neste artigo apresenta-se o programa Aprender a compreender torna mais fácil o saber, destinado a alunos do 3º e 4º anos de escolaridade, que tem como objetivo principal o desenvolvimento das competências de compreensão da leitura, de estratégias de leitura e de metacompreensão. O programa foi implementado com 1.142 alunos do 4º ano de escolaridade. Na avaliação dos resultados, recorreu-se a um design de grupo único com pré e pós-teste. Os resultados indicaram a presença de diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois momentos de avaliação, e os resultados obtidos por esses alunos no exame de língua portuguesa de 2012 mostraram que: a percentagem de alunos que obtêm a classificação A e B é superior à média nacional; a percentagem dos que obtêm D e E é inferior à média nacional. Apontam-se como linhas de investigação futura a replicação do estudo com a inclusão de um grupo de controlo e a avaliação da perceção dos professores sobre o programa e a sua eficácia.
Recursos educacionais abertos e direitos autorais: análise de sítios educacionais brasileiros
Authors: ZANIN ALICE AQUINO
Published: December 2017

RESUMO O movimento acesso aberto desencadeou o aumento do número de repositórios e bibliotecas que disponibilizam recursos educacionais abertos. O termo “aberto” leva à reflexão de quais são os direitos autorais que envolvem esse conceito e se há informação aos usuários de tais direitos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as informações fornecidas aos usuários nos repositórios educacionais brasileiros quanto aos direitos autorais e licenças de uso. Concluiu-se que não foram disponibilizadas informações mínimas aos internautas na maioria dos repositórios analisados. O acesso à informação permite a realização de escolhas mais qualificadas pelo usuário para o exercício de seus direitos, e a falha na informação da matéria em questão pode gerar a ofensa aos direitos do autor.
As intelectuais Gabriela Mistral e Cecília Meireles nas bibliotecas infantis: traços da modernidade educacional no México e no Brasil
Authors: FERREIRA ROSÂNGELA VEIGA JÚLIO , MICARELLO HILDA APARECIDA LINHARES DA SILVA
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Este texto discute projetos de formação do leitor com os quais as intelectuais Gabriela Mistral e Cecília Meireles se envolveram durante as reformas educacionais do México e do Brasil, respectivamente. Comparamos a trajetória de ambas as intelectuais no tempo histórico da modernidade educacional, por meio da análise das ações que fundamentaram a implementação de bibliotecas, em especial as destinadas à leitura pública das crianças. Atuaram na formulação de uma concepção de literatura infantil, defendendo a ideia de que escrever para criança exigia estudos detalhados sobre o gosto literário infantil, aliado à sensibilidade, deixando à geração que as sucedeu a possibilidade de dar continuidade ao que propuseram àquele tempo: formar a criança leitora.
Cartografando a construção do atual perfil de leitor de textos literários egresso das aulas de língua portuguesa do ensino médio
Authors: SANTOS RODRIGO ALVES DOS
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Este texto se detém sobre alguns dos documentos reguladores da disciplina de língua portuguesa oferecida nas escolas de ensino médio do Brasil: Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (1999); PCN+ ensino médio (2002) e as Orientações curriculares para o ensino médio (2006). Busca-se uma resposta à questão: quais as (re)configurações do perfil do aluno-leitor de textos literários a ser entregue pela escola regular à sociedade? Constata-se que o egresso da escola de nível médio, então nomeado como um leitor crítico de textos literários, teve o seu perfil formatado nos textos oficiais aqui analisados, sendo resultado de uma engenhosa articulação de concepções e saberes que, na trama do poder/saber, permitiram sua “natural” aparição na configuração atual da disciplina de língua portuguesa do ensino médio.
Diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis: there is an urgent needs to implement the use of guidelines

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening generalized or systemic hypersensitivity reaction that requires rapid and adequate care. This study aimed to obtain an integrated view of the level of physicians' knowledge related with treatment of anaphylaxis in studies published within the last 5 years. Sixteen studies were found and four points were identified as of the great interest to the authors: (1) emergency pharmacological treatment, (2) epinephrine auto-injectors prescription, (3) knowledge of the main signs of anaphylaxis, and (4) admission of the patient to verify biphasic reactions. Concern about the use of intramuscular adrenaline as the first choice in relation with anaphylaxis was evident in most studies, rather than its use in the comparison dial, and especially low in a study that included data from Brazil, in which the frequency of its use was 23.8%. An adrenaline autoinjector is highly recommended among specialists for patients at risk of anaphylaxis, however, its use is still infrequent among non-specialists and in countries that this agent is not available. Intervention studies have shown improved medical knowledge of anaphylaxis following disclosure of the information contained in the international guidelines. The analysis of these studies reinforces the need to disseminate international guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis, as well as providing an adrenaline autoinjector, to improve management and to prevent a fatal outcome.
