Authors: Prietto Nadia Ledesma , Scharagrodsky Pablo Ariel
Published: December 2020

Resumen En este trabajo se analizan los distintos sentidos que produjo, transmitió y puso en circulación la revista Cultura Sexual y Física (1937-1941) respecto de las sexualidades, los cuerpos, los deseos y las otredades desde y a partir del campo de la cultura física. Editada en Buenos Aires, pero con una circulación a escala internacional, examinaremos aquellos tópicos desde una perspectiva de género y a través del análisis crítico del discurso para dar cuenta de los matices, continuidades e inflexiones discursivas respecto del discurso dominante. En este sentido, señalaremos las polémicas que suscitó la publicación y los ataques recibidos por parte de sectores conservadores que llevaron a la prohibición de la revista.
Da circum-navegação da Vital de Oliveira às novas tabelas de rações: alimentação e saúde a bordo dos navios da Marinha Imperial Brasileira, 1879-1886
Authors: Oliveira Filho Sergio Willian de Castro , Messias Luana Costa Pierre de
Published: December 2020

Resumo Entre 1879 e 1881 a corveta Vital de Oliveira realizou a primeira viagem de circum-navegação da Marinha Brasileira. Um dos itens que ocuparam as preocupações do comandante do navio, Júlio de Noronha, em seu relatório da viagem foi a alimentação; preocupação reforçada no relatório médico da expedição redigido pelo primeiro-cirurgião Galdino Magalhães. Essa preocupação ganhou destaque devido ao elevado saldo de enfermos e mortos durante a viagem, para o que teria contribuído a carência de determinados gêneros alimentícios, de acordo com ambos os relatórios. O artigo discute a relação entre a alimentação e a saúde das tripulações. Além disso, trata da relação entre a viagem da Vital e a implementação de uma nova tabela de rações efetivada em 1886.

Published: December 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to isolate endophytic bacteria from tissue culture and leaves of jaboticaba (Plinia peruviana) and to evaluate their potential as plant growth-promoting bacteria. The bacteria were isolated from nodal segments grown in vitro and from leaves from a tree under natural conditions, totaling 11 and 54 isolates, respectively. The isolates were characterized by colony morphology. The indolic compounds produced by the isolates, in the presence or absence of 100 mg L-1 tryptophan, were quantified. The greatest producers of these compounds were identified by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and were inoculated on jaboticaba seeds, using Azospirillum brasilense (Ab-V6) as a positive control. The sensitivity of bacteria to eight antibiotics was also evaluated. All assessed bacteria produced indolic compounds, especially Bacillus sp., with a content of 27.41 μg mL-1. The germination rate of the seeds inoculated with Stenotrophomonas sp. was high - 97.34% compared with that of 74.67% of the negative control. Bacillus sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp. also sped up germination. Chloramphenicol limited the growth of 82% of the isolates, followed by amoxicillin, gentamicin, levofloxacin, and tetracycline, which limited 70%; erythromycin was only effective against 35%. The endophytic bacteria isolated from jaboticaba show characteristics of plant growth-promoting bacteria, and Bacillus sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp., obtained from tissue culture, are capable of enhancing jaboticaba seed germination.

Published: December 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the yield performance and foliar nutrient contents of blackberry (Rubus sp.) cultivars in response to the increase in potassium fertilization. The experiment was carried out in a soil with pH 5.2 and 22 mg dm-3 K content in the fourth and fifth years of production of the Brazos, Guarani, BRS Tupy, and BRS Xavante cultivars, grown in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The tested K2O rates were distributed in a 4x4 factorial arrangement, which consisted of four rates of K2O per plant (10, 20, 30, and 40 g) and of the four blackberry cultivars, distributed in four randomized complete block designs. The maximum economic efficiency (MEE) yield, the formation of primocanes, and the critical level of foliar nutrients were evaluated. The K fertilization recommended for blackberry cultivation in Brazilian conditions is not sufficient to maintain foliar nutrient contents at an adequate level. Fertilization with 20 g per plant per year of K2O, twice the recommended amount, favors the MEE yield, compatible with the yield performance of the cultivars. Foliar nutrient contents should be evaluated to recommend the proper fertilization for the orchard to reach its maximum yield potential.
Analysis of constructive effect and soil-structure interaction in tall building projects with shallow foundations on sandy soils

Published: December 2020

Abstract: The influence of incremental constructive effects (IE) and soil-structure interaction (SSI) on high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete with shallow foundations on sandy soils were analyzed. IE and SSI evaluations were carried out by the parameters of global instability, maximum horizontal displacements, foundation loads, and settlements of a symmetrical and non-symmetrical plant of a 23-storey building For the analysis of the IE, the variation of the modulus of elasticity was considered over time along with the phases of application of loads in the building. For ISS analysis, the continuous medium was considered, and the calculation model considers a multi-spring-mass system under the foundation of the building. The results show a significant redistribution in the foundation efforts and suggest that a failure in considering these effects along with the structure can lead to projects that do not meet the standard specifications regarding stability parameters and overall structure displacements.
A simplified numerical and analytical study for assessing the seismic response of a gravity concrete lock
Authors: Mendes Neander Berto , Pedroso Lineu José , Ribeiro Paulo Marcelo Vieira
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT: This work presents the dynamic response of a lock subjected to the horizontal S0E component of the El Centro earthquake for empty and completely filled water chamber cases, by coupled fluid-structure analysis. Initially, the lock was studied by approximation, considering it similar to the case of a double piston coupled to a two-dimensional acoustic cavity (tank), representing a simplified analytical model of the fluid-structure problem. This analytical formulation can be compared with numerical results, in order to qualify the responses of the ultimate problem to be investigated. In all the analyses performed, modeling and numerical simulations were done using the finite element method (FEM), supported by the commercial software ANSYS.
Shear failure in reinforced concrete members without transverse reinforcement: analysis of model error of NBR6118:2014
Authors: Barros Vinicius Paes de , Beck André Teófilo , Bittencout Túlio Nogueira
Published: December 2020

Abstract This article presents an analysis of NBR6118:2014 models used to determine the one-way shear strength in reinforced concrete members without transversal reinforcement. The study compares model predictions with 751 experimental results, taken from the 2015 ACI-DAfStb database and from Quach. Model errors are quantified. Mean values observed are around unity, indicating models with no bias, but coefficients of variation are large. Model error trends are identified with respect to cross-section depth and longitudinal reinforcement rate. In elements with low rate of longitudinal reinforcement and/or large cross-section depths, the normative models provide results with low safety. This shows the need for revision of the normative models. By means of non-linear regression analysis, two correction terms are proposed to consider the longitudinal reinforcement rate and the size effect (decrease in shear strength with increase in section depth). With the proposed corrections, the observed trends are eliminated, and the design equation becomes more accurate with respect to cross-section shear.
Current condition of the exposed concrete façades reinforcement of the Vilanova Artigas building: modern architectural heritage
Authors: Araujo Adriana de , Oliveira Claudia de Andrade , Simão Tatiana Regina da Silva
Published: December 2020

abstract: The heritage of modern architecture in exposed reinforced concrete has been shown pathological manifestations affecting the structural safety and functionality of the buildings. The manifestations are, primarily, associated with the steel corrosion; however published data obtained from site surveys, on the Brazilian architectural heritage and related to the issue, are still scarce in the literature. Thus, the aim of the study is to assess the current condition of the exposed concrete façades reinforcement of the Vilanova Artigas building, a Brazilian architectural heritage, opened in 1969. Legal restrictions limited the destructive tests and sampling areas. The history of the interventions, environmental aggressiveness and preliminary inspection (in the parent concrete and patch repairs) provided qualified information for analyzing in situ testing results. In the sampling areas physical, chemical and electrochemical tests were carried out. The façades surfaces are naturally porous, irregular, with concrete segregation and corrosion products stains; 24% of the concrete was replaced with proprietary mortar repair. In patch repairs, the average carbonation depth ranged from 3 to 29 mm, in concrete it ranged from 15 to 30 mm. The reinforcement cover ranged from 8 to 33 mm. Corrosion potential maps, with equipotential lines drawn at 50 mV intervals, indicated the corrosion-prone areas, where there is a concentration of lines with a variation equal to or greater than 150 mV. The presence of corrosion products, detected in the visual examination of the reinforcement under the patch repairs, validated the active corrosion state. The rough surface of the concrete, the low cover to depassivated reinforcement and the active corrosion state emphasize the need for monitoring the façades and the urgency of implementing a preventive maintenance plan, along with a conservation project in order to preserve the heritage values of the building.
On the Complexity of Learning a Class Ratio from Unlabeled Data
Authors: Fish Benjamin , Reyzin Lev
Published: December 2020

In the problem of learning a class ratio from unlabeled data, which we call CR learning, the training data is unlabeled, and only the ratios, or proportions, of examples receiving each label are given. The goal is to learn a hypothesis that predicts the proportions of labels on the distribution underlying the sample. This model of learning is applicable to a wide variety of settings, including predicting the number of votes for candidates in political elections from polls.

In this paper, we formally define this class and resolve foundational questions regarding the computational complexity of CR learning and characterize its relationship to PAC learning. Among our results, we show, perhaps surprisingly, that for finite VC classes what can be efficiently CR learned is a strict subset of what can be learned efficiently in PAC, under standard complexity assumptions. We also show that there exist classes of functions whose CR learnability is independent of ZFC, the standard set theoretic axioms. This implies that CR learning cannot be easily characterized (like PAC by VC dimension).
Mathematical Modeling in Researching the Complex Determinants of Illegal Fishing of Water Bio-Resources (the Omul Fish) in Lake Baikal
Authors: Sukhodolov Alexander , Fedotov Andrey , Anoshko Pavel , Kolesnikova Alina , Sorokina Polina , Mamonova Natalya
Published: December 2020

Lake Baikal is a unique natural object and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the same time, Baikal is a major fresh water inland fishing water body of Russia and the whole Eurasian continent. Extensive fishing began here in the second half of the 19th century and continued, with short-term moratoriums on commercial fishing connected with the depletion of valuable fish stocks, until October 2017, when a new ban was imposed. One of the reasons for this ban was a growing scale of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. In spite of restrictive measures, illegal fishing in Baikal is massive. According to statistical data provided by Chief Department of Internal Affairs in Irkutsk Region, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Buryat Republic, Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Zabaikalsky Region and the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources, the number of crimes under Art. 256 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation increased 45 % from 2013 to 2018. After the fishing of omul was limited in 2017, the problem of illegal fishing became a burning issue. The current measures of preventing environmental violations in this sphere are not always well-coordinated. To improve their effectiveness, it is necessary to take into account the results of a systemic monitoring of the complex of causes that determine this problem when developing new measures. The authors of the article use mathematical modeling, primarily, regression analysis, to research the factors that lead to crimes and violations of law in the sphere of fishing. The identification and research of factors determining illegal fishing of water bio-resources with the use of mathematical modeling is an element of a deeper analysis of criminological data carried out with the purpose of improving the effectiveness of counteracting illegal fishing and protection of a unique natural object - Lake Baikal.

Published: December 2020

Este artículo compara el capítulo de inversiones del Protocolo Adicional al Acuerdo Marco de la Alianza del Pacífico (AP) y el capítulo de inversiones del Tratado Integral y Progresista de Asociación Transpacífico (CPTPP). Además, examina cómo ambos capítulos permiten que el modo 3 del comercio de servicios (presencia comercial) y los encadenamientos de servicios se configuren como una forma de inversión de conformidad con los capítulos de comercio de servicios transfronterizos de ambos acuerdos, de modo que permita estructurar y diseñar una “Fábrica Latinoamericana de Servicios para el Asia Pacífico”. En nuestra opinión, la coordinación de ambos sistemas normativos y su grado de convergencia permiten alcanzar el objetivo definido por el Acuerdo Marco del AP, en el sentido de atraer inversiones y promover el encadenamiento de servicios (modo 3, presencia comercial) con la región del Asia Pacífico.
Zemstvo Service as the Start of a Public and Political Career (The Example of Representatives of Neo-Populist Parties)
Authors:   Tambov State Technical University, Tambov, Russia, Protasova O. L. , Pirozhkova I. G. ,   Tambov State Technical University, Tambov, Russia
Published: December 2020

Using the examples of biographies of some well-known representatives of the populist parties (socialist-revolutionaries and popular socialists), for the first time, it is shown how the work at zemstvo helped future politicians to determine their ideological orientation, gave practical knowledge of the needs of common people, provided insights into their lifestyle and improved communication skills with the peasant population. The significance of zemstvos as early prototypes of modern civil society institutions and a kind of “school of activism” of public policy actors during the Russian revolutions (1905-1917) is discussed. It is concluded that, owing to the understanding of the specifics of life and the mentality of the “lower classes”, the experience gained by the populists during their work in the zemstvos contributed to the successful development of their further socio-political career.
The EU Strategy in the Field of Artificial Intelligence: Prospects for Legal Regulation
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Saratov, Russia, Shurshalova E. S.
Published: December 2020

Currently, there is an increase in the use of artificial intelligence technologies in various spheres of society. In this regard, the activities of governments, international organizations on the implementation and regulation of artificial intelligence systems have intensified. The article discusses the issues of participation of the EU countries in the development of regulatory frameworks in the field of artificial intelligence. An analysis of initiatives in the legal regulation of artificial intelligence systems in the European Union shows that many problems that arise with the development and application of artificial intelligence systems are of the same type and should be solved by joint efforts of all countries of the world by using the existing practical skills in the implementation of artificial intelligence systems and, accordingly, borrowing the experience and achievements of each other. The author draws the conclusion that it is necessary to take into account all the risks in the field of artificial intelligence application, to consolidate clear legal control of a person over artificial intelligence in normative acts. In this connection, the procedure of legal regulation should go in the search for optimal solutions between the digital world, the legislator, society and artificial intelligence.

Authors: Borges Flavio Ferreira , Teixeira Janaína Angelina , Acedo Sara Osuna
Published: December 2020

The creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) has as its basic principle to provide democratic access to knowledge. To achieve this purpose, OER should be made available in Learning Object Repositories (LOR), and they must have open access. The objective of this research is to identify the use of LOR in pedagogical practices and the support material to be an OER. Data were collected from scientific articles, published from 2014 to 2018, available from the Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, ERIC, Redalyc and in institutional repositories of scientific publications made available in Brazil and Spain. The search consisted in identifying articles that reported proposals for teaching-learning practices, using open access resources and repositories. Applying the systematic review methods, 1,201 publications were initially retrieved, and from this list, 42 articles were selected for reading and analysis, as they present relevant content with the theme of this research. It was possible to identify teaching initiatives using OER, practices with the objective of acquiring technological knowledge and using it to promote participatory and collaborative learning with the use of OER. However, it was not possible to identify consolidated practices in the publications, as the OERs presented were not available for free use and, therefore, distanced themselves from the concept of open access.

Authors: Kaminski Márcia Regina , Boscarioli Clodis
Published: December 2020

Among the possibilities of using Digital Technologies of Information and Communication in education, Educational Robotics has been gaining space, especially by favoring an interdisciplinary teaching and contextualized with reality. However, most of the experiences described are in the form of one-off workshops, with limited duration, with no continuity in the activities developed. This paper presents how a Brazilian municipal public school, which serves students from the first stage of Elementary Education, a pioneer in their municipality to implement Educational Robotics, followed the paths for consolidating this work that has been happening since 2015 in a perspective of continuity and progression of the contents, and as an integrated practice into his Political Pedagogical Project, in addition to investigating, through data obtained in a non-directive interview with the instructor responsible for the classes and semi-structured questionnaires applied to teachers and those responsible for students, how the school community has perceived its impacts. The conclusions indicate positive results in student learning and that the pedagogical practices developed can contribute, in a relevant way, to different aspects of development in an integral perspective. Still, this research can help other schools that wish to start activities with Educational Robotics.

Published: December 2020

Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study aims to identify which factors interfere in students' behavior in relation to acceptance and use of a podcast aggregator that provides tips to students about the content disseminated in the expository class, in the undergraduate course in Accounting Sciences, at a Federal University of Southern Brazil. With regard to the development of methodological aspects, this study used the quasi-experiment method of single case projects, data were collected through the application of a questionnaire on site with closed questions, the technique used for data analysis was the modeling of structural equations (SEM), using the method of partial least squares by modeling the paths, operationalized by the software SPSS v. 017 and SmartPLS v. 3.0. After the hypothesis test, two relationships were significant (H2 and H14): expectation of performance and social influence positively impacted the acceptance and intention to use the podcast aggregator. Thus, based on the results of the Structural Equation Modeling, it was possible to know the behavior of the UTAUT constructs in the scenario of higher accounting education, with the inclusion of an active methodology that valued the insertion of a technological tool in the dissemination of knowledge.
Diversidad de mamíferos en un remanente de bosque urbano de la ciudad de Medellín (Antioquia, Colombia)
Authors: Villada-Cadavid Tomás , Soto-Calderón Iván Darío
Published: December 2020

La gran diversidad de especies en centros urbanos de Colombia contrasta con la rápida e intensa degradación de los hábitats donde se concentra dicha diversidad. Dada la importancia de estos entornos para la conservación biológica urbana y la creciente presión que sobre ellos existe, se estudió la composición de la comunidad de mamíferos en la cuenca de la quebrada La Gómez, en la densamente poblada ciudad de Medellín, y se presentaron recomendaciones para su conservación. Esta cuenca sobresale por la presencia del mono tití gris (Saguinus leucopus), uno de los pocos primates urbanos de Colombia. Se logró identificar cuatro especies de murciélago, una ardilla, una zarigüeya, una comadreja y el mono tití gris. Resalta la gran abundancia de zarigüeyas, posiblemente asociada con la alta disponibilidad de recursos de comida. Esto contrasta con una pobre diversidad de roedores nativos, quizá como consecuencia de la depredación por los numerosos gatos de la zona. Estas especies presentan dietas generalistas, aprovechan recursos antropogénicos de comida o tienen alta capacidad de dispersión, propiedades que les pueden facilitar su adaptación a hábitats aislados en parches urbanos de bosque. Todas estas especies tienen importantes roles ecológicos como la polinización, control poblacional de artrópodos y vertebrados y dispersión de especies vegetales. Sugerimos 1) mejorar las técnicas de disposición de residuos y compostaje para evitar conflictos con zarigüeyas, 2) realizar control poblacional de gatos ferales y concientizar sobre la tenencia responsable de gatos y otras mascotas, 3) sembrar especies vegetales nativas que sirvan de sostén a la fauna de la zona, y 4) emprender campañas de limpieza de la quebrada y disposición responsable de residuos domésticos.

Este artigo objetiva compreender que espaços a Didática ocupa na prática pedagógica de professores do ensino superior. Com suporte em debates sobre a formação didática para o exercício da docência universitária, incluindo os ditames da legislação educacional e do que se tem produzido no âmbito acadêmico acerca da formação dos professores do ensino superior, surgiu uma indagação por demais desconsiderada na pesquisa em educação: Que espaços a Didática ocupa na prática pedagógica de professores do ensino superior? Entre os autores que contribuem para fundamentar a pesquisa, destaca-se: Almeida (2012); D’Ávila e Veiga (2012); Franco e Pimenta (2010); Libâneo e Alves (2012); e Therrien (2012). O estudo, realizado no 2º semestre de 2014, adotou o método histórico-dialético ancorado em abordagem qualitativa e exploratória delineada no campo da memória. O uso de cartas por correio eletrônico foi o procedimento de coleta de dados adotado. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram cinco professores do ensino superior, escolhidos de modo aleatório. Os resultados evidenciam que a Didática fundamenta a prática pedagógica, de modo crítico e reflexivo, subsidiando a constituição e o desenvolvimento dos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem, sendo um campo de conhecimento relevante para a análise e realização dos três momentos da ação didática: planejamento, metodologias de ensino e avaliação. Embora a Didática assuma papel de destaque no âmbito da formação e da prática do docente universitário, o ‘saber ensinar’ como campo científico e profissional ainda necessita ocupar mais espaço no trabalho pedagógico universitário.

Published: December 2020

Party system is the important factor in the working of representative form of Government.  India is a democratic state. In the democratic state, political parties are said to be the life – blood of democracies. Modern democracies are indirect in character. They can function with the help of political parties. In the absence of political parties democracy cannot deliver the goods. Well organized political parties constitute the best form of democracy. India has the largest democracy in the world. It introduced universal adult franchise as the basis of voting right in the country. Now the voting age has been lowered down to 18. Most of the Indian voters are not politically matured and they do not have the political education in the proper sense. Political parties in India are classified by the Election Commission of India. It was classified for the allocation of symbol. The Election Commission of India classified parties into three main heads: National parties, State parties and registered (unrecognized) parties.

The objective of this research is to measure the impact of service quality on consumer purchase intention in the retail environment. Implicitly, natural and informative focus has an effect on the customer's buying intentions. For qualitative analysis, data were collected from 477 customer surveys in large retail stores. The findings of the study indicate that quality of service have a positive effect on the purchase intention of the consumer. The results also showed that consumers do not intervene with pricing in large retail stores, as consumers feel that fair pricing are charged by retailers. Most consumers depend on the reputation and efficiency of the service quality.
Reimagining the Indian Political Set-Up:A Political Branding Outlook
Authors: Kumar Dr Amit
Published: December 2020

Politics is one area which the layman might not associate with the field of branding but with time this aspect of modern-day democracy has become synonymous with branding. Jevons (2005) is of the view that branding is flexible enough to include the realms of politics. The consumer-citizen concept is a step in this very direction. Today’s voter behaves more on the lines of a consumer who needs to convinced to buy into (read vote) the brand promises (read election manifesto and promises made during campaigning) put up by various political brands. Just like there are two aspects of a brand, successful and failed, political branding is no exception to the same. Modern times have seen the rise of many a political brands some of whom have had an ardent following while others have been shunned by the electorate for their disconnect with the voter. The western democracies such as US and UK are replete with political brands which have proven their mettle (or faded into oblivion) during various elections. However, the same has came to fore only in the past few years in India thanks to the information revolution. No other election witnessed more significantly the concept of political branding as did the last two general elections of 2014 and 2019. The concept of political branding and political participation have shown quite strong relationship between them in those countries where it is applicable. Through this paper, the author has attempted to establish a relationship between political branding and political participation along with what characterizes the successful making of a political brand in a conceptual way.

Government balance-consistent economic growth rates and their implications: A study of the euro area countries
Authors: Pattichis Charalambos
Published: December 2020

Using the model derived by Bajo-Rubio (2014), this paper estimates government budget balance-consistent growth rates for the euro area countries. A comparison of these estimates to their actual growth rates indicates that most of these countries are growing at rates that are very similar to their government balance-consistent growth rates. This finding implies that many euro area countries would not be experiencing excessive imbalances in their government budget over the long-run that could harm future economic growth. The analysis has also shown that for many euro area countries, the predictions of the model seem to be broadly consistent with their actual fiscal experience.
Faith in Action, Adult Learning, and Immigrant Justice
Authors: Tirres Christopher , Schikore Melanie
Published: December 2020

This article emerges from a collaborative research project between a religious studies professor at DePaul University and the executive director of the Chicago-based non-profit Interfaith Community for Detained Immigrants (ICDI). In 2016, we forged a community partnership to explore and enhance the relationship between pedagogy, faith, and social justice. In this article, we share the results of our research on how exposure to and involvement with the work of ICDI impacts students, staff, and volunteers. Our research reveals the powerful effect that a community-engaged partnership can have not only on adult learning but also on spiritual development. Our findings suggest that faith in action may take several forms, including encounter, accompaniment, advocacy, and social justice, and that those who engage the work of ICDI may engage them in different ways. These insights will be useful for institutions, both universities and community organizations alike, in enhancing adult learning and spiritual growth.

The Catholic, Jesuit inspired mission of Saint Louis University (SLU) – “the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of God and for the service of humanity” – firmly places serving humanity in line with the institution’s goal for academic excellence. Importantly, service in the tradition of Catholic, Jesuit education is embedded in a broader vocational goal of forming people to build a just and equitable society. It remains to be seen in what manner and to what degree SLU students reflect the qualities such experiences are intended to aid and develop. What follows is an attempt to identify contemporary expressions of Ignatian education, a well-educated solidarity, depth of thought, and depth of imagination, within the students who took part in community engagement activities supported by SLU’s Center for Service and Community Engagement. The present study drew upon assessment data from three distinct undergraduate experiences. Each of the three attributes were evident, either directly or in a latent form appropriate to the nature of the activity and the level of the student participants. While it is not possible to quantify a direct measure, the results indicate that the programs are generally succeeding in promoting an Ignatian inspired formation for its students.

Academic institutions engaged in partnerships with the Black Church, including small, independent, under-resourced churches as well as historically Black denominational churches, and other under-resourced faith-based organizations, are encouraged to consider collaborative educational opportunities around the issues of strategic financial sustainability and short and long-term stewardship. Four highly community-engaged academics offer a thought-experiment starting with their observations and experiences with respect to the need for such partnerships, and how these kinds of collaborations may be able to help strengthen the Black Church, in all its forms and faith-based communities and ground them for greater advocacy for demanding systemic and structural change.

Abandono afetivo ao inverso é uma expressão utilizada para se referir à falta de cuidado e atenção com a pessoa idosa com vínculo de parentesco estabelecido entre o agressor, o qual tem o dever legal de amparar na velhice, na carência e na enfermidade, a vítima, que se encontra em Instituição de Longa Permanência, em completo esquecimento. Este estudo refletiu acerca de algumas ações como responsabilizar juridicamente quem tem esse dever através de conciliação ou mediação extrajudicial e até judicialmente. Para tanto, a abordagem foi qualitativa, com aproximação no campo empírico de pesquisa, através das técnicas de estudo de caso e levantamento de referencial teórico, com análise subjetiva da realidade observada. Essa responsabilidade não se reduz à pecúnia, mas à atenção, tempo de convivência, visitas, falas, histórias, o que torna difícil a convivência, que precisa de suporte técnico da constelação familiar para aproximar e fortalecer os laços de gratidão e amor que se estabelecem nas relações familiares.

A exploração industrial de rochas para uso na construção civil é condicionada por vários fatores, como as características físico-químicas e mineralógicas das rochas, os aspectos legais, socioeconômicos e ambientais. Este artigo analisa os principais fatores que condicionam a exploração industrial do gnaisse para produção de brita usada na construção civil, na pedreira João Baptista Eusébio–Anchilo, numa época de muita procura de produtos de brita (pedra, areia e pó) na cidade de Nampula e região. Para o estudo, efetuou-se a revisão bibliográfica, trabalho de campo e estudo petrográfico no laboratório de Geologia da Universidade Pedagógica – Nampula (UPN). Das análises, retiraram-se as seguintes conclusões: (I) os gnaisses de Anchilo são de excelente qualidade para uso como brita; (II) a pedreira João Baptista Eusébio tem uma localização geoestratégica privilegiada para extração e comercialização de grandes volumes de brita; (III) a atividade mineira na pedreira está de acordo com a atual lei mineira, mas é preciso adequá-la a lei de ambiente; (IV) as atividades da pedreira contribuem no desenvolvimento socioeconômico regional.

A Doença de Alzheimer é um tipo de demência que acomete milhões de pessoas, sendo responsável por 60% de todos os casos de doenças neurodegenerativas. Embora não tenha cura, diversas estratégias de estudo vêm sendo desenvolvidas a fim de elucidar os mecanismos da doença. Estudos recentes abordam os benefícios do cortisol em aspectos imunológicos, musculares, renais, respostas inflamatórias e até mesmo em patologias neurodegenerativas.  A hidrocortisona é um medicamento sintético utilizado para simular o cortisol. Deste modo, o estudo explora os efeitos da hidrocortisona na senescência neural, objetivando analisar seu efeito neuroprotetor. Assim, desenvolveu-se um modelo experimental in vitro de estresse oxidativo, induzido por peróxido de hidrogênio na linhagem celular Neuro-2a (Neuroblastoma de Murino) a fim de simular aspectos característicos da Doença de Alzheimer. Foram então realizados experimentos de viabilidade e morfologia celular. A hidrocortisona em baixa concentração promoveu aumento na viabilidade celular, enquanto que o peróxido de hidrogênio diminuiu a viabilidade celular, ocorrendo o efeito de estresse oxidativo. No aspecto morfológico, a hidrocortisona preservou os prolongamentos das células, já o peróxido de hidrogênio fez com que os prolongamentos retraíssem, assim perdendo as sinapses. Com os resultados obtidos, pode-se concluir que a hidrocortisona preservou a célula neural do efeito do estresse oxidativo.

Os resíduos agroindustriais são produzidos em grandes quantidades a partir do beneficiamento e industrialização de alimentos. O descarte desses resíduos no meio ambiente pode resultar em uma série de transtornos para o ecossistema, devido à sua rica composição em matéria orgânica. Diante desse cenário, o reaproveitamento dos resíduos industriais é uma alternativa viável para a diminuição dos impactos ambientais causados pelo descarte inadequado e atendimento das exigências legais referentes à destinação final dos resíduos produzidos. Neste contexto, destaca-se a indústria cervejeira, cuja produção inclui etapas de processamento e fermentação de matéria-prima vegetal, gerando resíduos caracterizados por composições que apresentam significativo potencial para aplicação em tecnologias de bioprocessos através de rotas biotecnológicas sustentáveis. Dentre vários metabólitos de interesse industrial, a enzima tanase vem se destacando no cenário nacional devido a sua capacidade de produzir antioxidantes utilizados na indústria química, farmacêutica e alimentícia. O trabalho objetiva a otimização do meio de fermentação sólida para produção desta enzima utilizando resíduos da indústria cervejeira. Para isso, os resíduos foram padronizados e submetidos ao processo fermentativo, onde foram estudadas diversas variáveis da rota de produção do composto. Assim, como principal resultado, destaca-se o aumento da atividade enzimática, que passou de 0,04 U/mL para 0,19 U/mL após os ajustes do agente extrator, umidade do meio fermentativo, tempo de incubação e pH, concentração do agente indutor e temperatura e pH do meio reacional. Portanto, foram estabelecidos os melhores padrões para otimização do processo, reafirmando o resíduo da indústria cervejeira como um ótimo substrato para produção de biomoléculas.

O tendão do calcâneo (TC) é o mais forte tendão do corpo humano, com grande capacidade de suportar carga. O TC é vulnerável a lesões por esforço repetitivo por receber muita carga, responsável por 18% de todas as lesões no esporte. O ultrassom (US) diagnóstico é uma técnica barata, dinâmica e rápida para avaliação de tecidos tendíneos, que pode ser associada a testes clínicos para diagnóstico de tendinopatias. Considerando que a simetria do organismo está relacionada com bom estado geral de saúde, objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a morfologia e aspectos clínicos do TC de indivíduos com e sem tendinopatia do TC. Participaram do estudo 28 indivíduos: 15 no grupo controle (GC) e 13 no grupo tendinopatia (GT). Os participantes passaram por avaliações específicas do TC: Exame de US, testes à palpação e clínicos. Os sujeitos do GC apresentam média de 0,407cm e 0,389cm da espessura do TC (TC direito e TC esquerdo), e não foram demonstradas anormalidades que indicassem inflamação nas imagens de US e nos testes clínicos. Nos indivíduos do GT, os valores da espessura do TC foram maiores, atingindo até 0,563cm, além de apresentarem alterações nas imagens de US para inflamação. A diferença da espessura do TC entre membros dos indivíduos do GC foi de 10%, enquanto no GT foi de 22%. Por meio dos resultados, sugere-se que diferenças da espessura do TC superiores a 20% indiquem a presença de tendinopatia, comprovadas pelos achados nas imagens de ultrassom e pelos resultados positivos dos testes à palpação e clínicos.
