Entre Goethe e Hitler
Authors: Otte Georg
Published: December 2018

Resumo: O Diário de guerra, título provisório das anotações feitas por João Guimarães Rosa durante o período em que exerceu o cargo de vice-cônsul na Alemanha, demonstra, mesmo se de forma incipiente, o distanciamento consciente que mantinha em relação às ações bélicas dos primeiros anos da Segunda Guerra. Esse distanciamento não se explica apenas por sua posição de diplomata, mas resulta de uma aversão profunda contra a violação da dignidade humana, cometida em nome da ideologia nazista. Rosa foge das questões políticas e prefere se interessar por fenômenos naturais encontrados na Alemanha, mas não hesita em mostrar sua revolta quando o nazismo fere seus princípios humanistas – cuja defesa não deixa de ser política.Palavras-chave: João Guimarães Rosa; Diário de guerra; Alemanha nazista.Abstract: The Diário de Guerra (War Diary), a provisional title of the notes made by João Guimarães Rosa during the period in which he served as Vice-Consul in Germany, demonstrates, even in an incipient way, the conscious distance he maintained in relation to the battles of the first years of the Second War. This distance cannot only be explained by his position as a diplomat, but as a result of a profound aversion against the violation of human dignity committed in the name of Nazi ideology. Rosa avoids political questions and prefers to study the natural phenomena he detects in Germany, but he does not hesitate to show his revolt when Nazism hurts his humanistic principles, whose e defense is still politicalKeywords: João Guimarães Rosa; War diary; Nazi Germany.
A imortalidade de um mortal ou o eu que sou na linguagem
Authors: Silva Telma Borges
Published: December 2018

Resumo: Três dias após tomar posse na Academia Brasileira de Letras, João Guimarães Rosa, o mais recente imortal da Casa fundada por Machado de Assis, vem a falecer, deixando consternados não apenas seus confrades, mas o país inteiro. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um estudo sobre a imortalidade do escritor de Cordisburgo em três movimentos. Com base nas reflexões de Maurice Blanchot, em “A literatura e o direito à morte” (1997), investiga-se as relações entre morte e imortalidade: primeiro, tentando compreender a repercussão que o evento da morte de Rosa teve na mídia nacional, a partir de hemeroteca criada e mantida pela Academia Brasileira de Letras; segundo, analisando a imortalidade através da linguagem, ao evidenciar de que maneira o autor se imortaliza com sua literatura e pelos desdobramentos crítico-criativos que sua obra provocou; e, terceiro, procurando compreender como o autor imiscui-se em sua própria literatura ao fazer-se personagem de si mesmo, imortalizando-se na e pela linguagem.Palavras-chave: Guimarães Rosa; Imortalidade; Academia Brasileira de Letras.Abstract: Three days after assuming a position at the Brazilian Academy of Letters, João Guimarães Rosa, the latest immortal of the House founded by Machado de Assis, passed away, filling with dismay not only his peers, but the whole country. This paper aims to present a study on the immortality of Cordisburgo’s writer in three movements. Based on Maurice Blanchot’s reflections in “Literature and the right to death” (1997), I investigate the relations between death and immortality; firstly in order to comprehend the repercussion that the event of Rosa’s death had in the national press, through the newspaper library created and maintained by the Brazilian Academy of Letters; secondly, in order to analyze immortality through language, as I highlight how the author lives on his literature or through the critical and creative reverberations his oeuvre provokes; and lastly, in order to comprehend how the author blends in with his own literature, as he transforms himself into a character, immortalizing himself in and through language. Keywords: Guimarães Rosa; Immortality; Brazilian Academy of Letters.

Published: December 2018

Resumo: A crítica se debruçou exaustivamente sobre a duplicidade do Grande sertão: veredas, apontando a sua função estrutural seja para a forma, seja para o conteúdo do romance. Seguindo a esteira aberta por João Adolfo Hansen, pode-se dizer que tal duplicidade, antes de ser valor em si ou caminho para a unidade, constitui as veredas pela qual o sertão se abre à multiplicidade, e a encruzilhada se torna redemoinho. Para tanto, há que se atentar para o papel que a interlocução, enquanto alternância colaborativa entre fala e escuta, escrita e (re)leitura, desempenham tanto no dizer de Riobaldo (“as falas na fala”) quanto na sua concepção metafísica (“a vida é mutirão de todos”). Perscrutando a importância de Quelemém, interlocutor das estórias narradas, pode-se perceber como a história de Riobaldo se converte em estória, atravessando gêneros: através (e por meio) da interlocução, o protagonista tece a trama de sua vida do compósito das outras vidas reais e imaginárias, havidas ou ouvidas (veredas), que formam a sua, dando corpo aos seus muitos fios e chegando a um estado subjetivo – perdido com a morte de Diadorim – que agora se apresenta múltiplo, por meio do seu agenciamento enunciativo, através de um(a) a-gente poético(a).Palavras-chave: Grande sertão: veredas; multiplicidade; interlocução.Abstract: The critical fortune of Grande Sertão: Veredas has investigated in all details the role that duplicity plays in the novel, regarding both the structure and the content. Following the path opened by João Adolfo Hansen, we can say that such duplicity, instead of being a value in itself or a way leading to unity, constitutes the veredas through which the sertão opens itself to multiplicity, and the crossroad becomes a swirl. In order to do so, one has to pay attention to the role interlocution – understood here as the collaborative alternation between speech and listening, writing and (re)reading – in Riobaldo’s discourse (“the speeches inside the speech”) and in his metaphysical conception (“life is a mutirão [communal work]”). Examining the importance of Quelemém, the interlocutor to Riobaldo’s storytelling, one can realize how Riobaldo’s history turns into his story, crossing genres/genders: through interlocution, the protagonist co-weaves the woof of his life by forming a poetical assemblage of the other lives, real and imaginary, that constitute his own. That way, he reaches a multiple subjective state, previously lost with Diadorim’s death.Keywords: Grande sertão: veredas; multiplicity; interlocution.

¿Puede la investigación iluminar el cambio educativo?
Authors: Blanco López Ángel , Martínez Peña Begoña , Jiménez Liso M. Rut
Published: December 2018

En el ámbito educativo existe la visión generalizada de que los resultados de investigación y las mejoras ya consensuadas en este ámbito, siguen muy alejados de los currículos y de la práctica docente. Este problema se ha denominado la brecha entre la investigación y la práctica educativa. Con objeto de analizar este problema y, sobre todo, de trazar puentes para intentar acortar dicha brecha, en este artículo se presentan tres líneas de trabajo centradas en investigaciones que puedan ser útiles para ayudar al profesorado en ejercicio a llevar a cabo el cambio educativo. Los tres modos de aproximación, realizados por los grupos de investigación ENCIC, Beagle y Sensociencia respectivamente, confluyen en la búsqueda de contextos de la vida diaria que hagan asequible las ciencias al mayor número posible de alumnado o en el diseño de propuestas y recursos de indagación para todos los niveles educativos. Del análisis realizado, y de otras iniciativas anteriores, surge una demanda explícita de realizar investigaciones que palien la situación actual sobre la escasa transferencia de la investigación a las aulas.

Representations of People with Disabilities in an Indonesian Newspaper: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Priyanti Neng
Published: December 2018

In a contemporary society where language plays a significant role in shaping social reality, discourse is not value-free. In other words, language can be used as a powerful tool to establish and maintain particular sets of ideas or ideologies. Values and beliefs, as many have argued (Corker & Shakespeare, 2002; Harpur, 2012; Rapley, 2004) are the products of social constructions and are shared, maintained and reproduced through discourse. Given the powerful function of language to establish and maintain ideologies, this paper examines how disability is socially constructed, represented and maintained through the media discourse, particularly in The Jakarta Post's articles published and circulated in January 2013 to April 2014. This paper opens with a brief historical, empirical and theoretical review of disability. It then continues with a discussion of the findings of the study and implications of the representation of people with disabilities in the mass media. This study has revealed that people with disabilities, in an Indonesia mass media discourse, are discursively constructed with a thematic role of a patient/beneficiary which is evident through the syntactic construction and the extensive use of ableist terminologies. This subtle representation indicates that the contemporary Indonesian media mass discourse maintains the medical and charity models of disability.
A (Head) Case for a Mad Humanities: Sula's Shadrack and Black Madness
Authors: Stefan Hayley C.
Published: December 2018

This article calls for literary studies and the humanities to critically engage with the emerging subfield of Mad Studies. Developing alongside anti-psychiatry activism and Disability Studies, Mad Studies critiques how mentally and emotionally disabled individuals evidence the breadth of state violence and discrimination. After tracing a genealogy of Mad Studies, the article offers a model of a Mad literary studies approach by analyzing Shadrack from Toni Morrison's Sula (1973) as a complex figure which resists flattened readings of Black madness. The novel's scholarly history, while rich in Disability Studies readings, makes evident persistent societal neglect of distressed characters—especially distressed characters of color—as peripheral or symbolic. This article pulls from critical race theory, Disability Studies, and trauma studies to form an intersectional inquiry into the material and lived conditions of mad individuals of color. In so doing, the article demonstrates the significant possibilities of this developing interdisciplinary methodology.

Authors: Surriah Mohammed Hillu , Bakkour Amine Mohammed , Hassan Ahmed Nafi
Published: December 2018

Background: Gastrointestinal cutaneous fistulae are abnormal communication between stomach, small or large bowel, and the skin allowing the gastrointestinal contents to flow onto the skin. It is one of the most dreaded postoperative complications. It is a major cause of morbidity and possible mortality especially in high output fistulae. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of postoperative gut fistulae particularly on the clinical presentation, diagnostic, work up, managements, and outcomes.Methods: It was a prospective non-randomized study of 52 consecutive patients collected in three and half years (from 1st January 2015 to 1st June 2018) in Al-Karama Teaching Hospital. The study involved patients who had postoperative fistula in the anterior abdominal wall. Originating from the digestive tract. All the patients were subjected to history and physical examination according to a data collection sheet.Results: There were 32 males and 20 females mean age 40.96 and the mean hospital stay (14-45) days. Author found that 42.3% of cases were due to malignancy, around 30.7% were presented following laparotomy for trauma, three cases (5.8%) is due to surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (total colectomy), and 21.2% were due to miscellaneous. Regarding site of fistula, fourteen cases had single fistulae draining from midline laparotomy incision (26.9%). ten cases (19.3%) were miscellaneous conditions. Wound dehiscence and wound infection occurred in four cases (7.7%). Multiple Organ Failure (MOF) occurred in three cases and led to death.Conclusions: Trauma and malignancy made the major two causes of postoperative fistulae in this study. The higher output fistula, the more incidence of complications, such as sepsis, electrolyte disturbances, skin excoriation and weight loss.
Estrategia para pensar desde la música
Authors: Viteri Juan Pablo
Published: December 2018

Para esta edición de post(s), la música toma un papel central en el marco de discusiones y debates sobre crítica cultural a la vez que es el eje de reflexiones que, desde la práctica creativa, busca entender el mundo contemporáneo. Algo poco común en el contexto latinoamericano, en donde la música tradicionalmente se ha estudiado desde la musicología y la etnomusicología. Para el presente, sin embargo, el enfoque toma como bases teórico-críticas y metodológicas a los estudios de medios y culturales. Asimismo, la música, más que un objeto de estudio, se convierte en una fuente de inspiración para encontrar formas frescas y efectivas de pensar y hacer academia.
Las paradojas de la piratería
Authors: Lobato Ramón
Published: December 2018

Hablar de la piratería como una cosa, una práctica coherente, tiene sentido en ciertas situaciones. Sin embargo, hacerlo puede borrar las diferencias entre prácticas culturales y mediáticas que merecen ser leídas, de forma más apropiada, en sus propios términos. Este texto ofrece una revisión crítica del “debate de la piratería” al enfocarse en un problema particular que le atraviesa —el asignarle un nombre. Específicamente, quiero considerar qué se pone en juego en el uso del término “piratería”. El objetivo no es solamente repetir la idea convencional sobre lo que implica el uso de la etiqueta “pirata” —que criminaliza actividades cotidianas— sino más bien, explorar una tensión más sutil en el contra-discurso crítico sobre propiedad intelectual, sobre si el lenguaje de la “piratería” debe ser aceptado, rechazado o rearticulado.

Using Richards-Wolf formulas, we show that when a left-hand circularly polarized optical vortex with the topological charge 3 is sharply focused in an aplanatic system, a backward near-axis energy flow is observed in the focal plane. While being zero on the axis, the backward flow is only 2-3 times smaller in magnitude than the incident energy flow coming to the focus. It is also shown that near the optical axis the reverse flow propagates spiraling counter-clockwise about the optical axis. The presence of the near-axis backward flow of energy is also shown by the FDTD-aided numerical simulation of diffraction of a circularly polarized plane wave by a third-order spiral zone plate with the NA ≈ 1. A Rayleigh microparticle captured in the focus vicinity is expected to move in the opposite direction to the beam propagation.
Observation of an optical "angular tractor" effect in a Bessel beam

We study an optical “angular tractor” effect, at which the energy flow in the cross-section of a rotationally symmetric vortex laser beam with the positive/negative topological charge and left-/right-handed circular polarization rotates in different directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) at different distances from the beam center. This effect is shown to take place both for paraxial vortex beams and in the focus of an aplanatic system focusing a nonparaxial optical vortex. Dielectric microparticles placed in a third-order circularly polarized Bessel beam are experimentally demonstrated to move in the opposite directions (clockwise and counterclockwise).
Variational interpretation of the eikonal calculation problem from the condition of generating a prescribed irradiance distribution

The problem of calculation of the light field eikonal defined on a certain surface from the condition of generating a prescribed irradiance distribution on another surface is formulated as a Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation problem. We show that the cost function in this mass transportation problem corresponds to the distance between a point on the initial surface (on which the eikonal function is defined) and a point on the target surface, where the prescribed irradiance distribution is to be generated. An analytical expression for the gradient of a “cost functional” describing the mass transportation problem is derived. It enables using gradient descent methods for the calculation of the eikonal function.

The paper presents and discusses the results of calculations of the radii of transverse fifth-, seventh- and ninth-order spherical aberrations in a multi-order on-axis HOE (holographic optical element), recorded using two divergent spherical waves. As examples, focusing transmission and reflection on-axis HOEs with relative apertures close to 1:1 in given infrared spectral ranges are considered. Analytical expressions are presented for calculating the minimum distance from the HOE to a polychromatic point source and to its image. We study in which way these distances change with increasing operating wavelength in the spectral range of interest. Examples of two different transmission HOEs with identical chromatic aberrations are presented in the atmospheric infrared windows in the ranges of 2.15 – 2.50 μm and 4.3 – 5.0 μm. It is pointed out that on the basis of these two HOEs, a dual-band holographic lens with working spectral ranges of 2.15 – 2.50 μm and 4.3 – 5.0 μm can be developed.

We address a problem of the joint processing of digital maps of the earth surface and satellite imagery of flooded areas as part of the software intended to help authorities to respond to emergency situations. The problem of mapping flooded areas is solved based on the use of satellite images and GIS technologies. This paper describes an algorithm for mapping areas submerged by flooded rivers based on radar satellite images and analysis of characteristic relief features, allowing one to improve the accuracy of the image geolocation with a small number of reference points. The experimental studies demonstrate that using the algorithm proposed, the alignment accuracy of the river water surface obtained from a satellite image and from a digital topographic map has increased by 40%.
Earth remote sensing data processing for obtaining vegetation types maps
Authors:   Samara University, Varlamova A. , Denisova A. ,   Samara University, Sergeev V. ,   Samara University,   Image Processing Systems Institute, Branch of the Federal Scientific Research Centre “Crystallography and Photonics” of Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2018

In this paper, we propose an earth remote sensing data processing technology for obtaining vegetation types maps. The technology includes the following steps: obtaining superpixel representation of an image, calculating superpixel features, K-Means clustering of superpixels by a user-defined training sample, and obtaining vegetation types maps. When compared to other solutions, the major difference of the proposed technology is the ability to combine superpixel segmentation and feature calculation into a single process in one pass of an image that reduces the computational complexity. Another difference lies in the way of forming a sample dataset using superpixel representation of an image. The advantages of the proposed technology are the use of a smaller training dataset and a higher classification quality in comparison with the elemental classification.

The article deals with one of the key problems of the social network analysis – the problem of classifying accounts based on media content uploaded by users. The main difficulties are the content heterogeneity (both in format and subject) and the large volumes of data, which leads to excessive computational complexity of its processing and often to the complete inefficiency of traditional analysis methods. In the article, we discuss an approach to the clustering of media content from social networks based on textual annotation using BigData technology – a modern and efficient tool that allows to solve the problem of large data volume processing. To carry out computational experiments, a large sample of heterogeneous images (photographs, paintings, postcards, etc.) was collected from real Twitter accounts. The results confirmed the high quality of media content clustering, the average error was around 5 %.
A Case of Teratoma-Associated Anti-NMDAR Encephalitis
Authors: Lou Weihua , Yan Bin , Wang You , W Di
Published: December 2018

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune encephalitis that is associated with the NMDA receptor and has a good response to treatment. However, only a small number of cases related teratoma has been reported in literature. Here we report a case of teratoma-associated anti-NMDAR encephalitis. A 25-year-old woman with the presentation of fever for 20 days and psychiatric symptoms for 9 days was admitted to the hospital. This patient progressed to a minimally conscious state consistent with encephalitis. Considering the possibility of autoantibody-mediated encephalitis, laboratory tests were undertaken to observe the anti-NMDAR antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum, which confirmed the diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Furthermore, gynecological ultrasound investigation detected teratoma in the left ovary. After resection of the teratoma with Laparoscopic adnexectom and treatment with immunosuppressive therapy, the patient recovered gradually and was discharged one month after the operation. Due to the lack of clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and treatment of anti-NMDAR encephalitis, the disease is still difficult to diagnose because of its vague manifestations. For the further study, the clinic data of one case of teratoma-related anti-NMDAR encephalitis was analyzed and the relevant literatures were reviewed.
Premenstrual Syndrome Characteristics in Caucasian and Asian Women: A Survey - Based Study in Denmark
Authors: Nikbakht Anahita , Gazerani Parisa
Published: December 2018

Women of reproductive age present one or more emotional or physical symptoms in premenstrual phase of their menstrual cycle, which is collectively called premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Estimates show that about 5 to 8% of women suffer from severe PMS. This form has been termed as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Diagnostic criteria have been proposed for PMDD. For the purpose of this research work, the term PMS was used to include variants of premenstrual syndrome in general. Common symptoms include but not limited to breast swelling, food cravings, bloating, mood swings and backache. The etiology of PMS remains unclear; but available evidence suggests that genetics and environmental factors may influence the PMS experience and its severity. The present study was designed to investigate PMS experience and characteristics in two ethnic groups of Caucasian and Asian women living in Denmark. An online survey-based methodology was applied to target Asians and Caucasians women (18-55 years) with PMS, living in different regions in Denmark. The questionnaire consisted of 36 questions to cover the required information for the purpose of this study. Regression analysis was applied to find the association between PMSassociated factors and ethnicity. Asian (47) in comparison with Caucasian women (47) presented with higher ratings of several PMS symptoms such as mood swings, depression and food cravings (p < 0.05). Asian women were also found with higher rate in digestion problems (p < 0.05) and higher rate of cramps and nausea during menstruation and a shorter menstruation period compared with the Caucasians (p < 0.05). This study highlighted that Asian women had higher rates of both psychological and physiological factors in relation to PMS. Potential reasons for a difference between Asian and Caucasian women living in Demark is not clear, and need further investigation.

AbstractThis article aims to analyze the implementation of musyarakah mutanaqishah financing on Islamic banking in Indonesia, especially in facing the existence of three issues available in contract implementation (sharia issues, legal issues, and operational issues). The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with an inductive analysis approach. The method of analyzing the date is based on Law of Republic of Indonesia Number 21/2008 concerningSharia Banking, DSN-MUI, Fatwa Number 73/2008 concerning Musyarakah Mutanaqishah, and AAOIFI Sharia Standards. The research findings showed that the implementation of MMQ on some points is not based on sharia law. In terms of legal and operational analysis based on BI rules on banking laws, there are indications of a discrepancy between the basic rules and its implementation in the field. The operational assignment of all payment obligations for fees deviates from AAOIFI standards and DSN fatwas, and there are no specific accounting standards related to MMQ.AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi pembiayaan musyarakah mutanaqishah pada perbankan syariah di Indonesia, terutama dalam menanggapi keberadaan tiga isu yang melekat pada implementasi akad (isu syariah, isu legal, dan isu operasional).

Linguistic relativity and language as epiphenomenon: two contradictory positions
Authors: Hassler Gerda
Published: December 2018

The assumption of linguistics relativity and the definition of languages as epiphenomena are certainly known as two contradictory positions from the last century. But I will start my discussion of them in the period of their appearance and then use this as a basis to evaluate the heuristic value of these positions in present day linguistics. I will start with the definition of language as an epiphenomenon and then I will go on with the linguistic relativity.

The notion of ʽepiphenomenon’ is usually used to exclude certain aspects of a scientific object because they are considered to be deduced from others. In linguistics, restrictions of the research object were made, invoking the notion of ʽepiphenomenonʼ, which was partially done with a polemical attitude, and was always responded to polemically.

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT - This work evaluated the infectivity and production of occlusion bodies (OBs) of the SfMNPV-6NR on fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, when fed on different host plants. The experiment was performed in laboratory, in a completely randomized design using two concentrations of SfMNPV-6NR (2×106 and 2×107 OBs/mL) and six different host plants (soybean, corn, cotton, bean, sorghum and millet). The larval mortality, larval weight (LW), pupal weight (PW) of S. frugiperda and the production of OBs by virus were evaluated. S. frugiperda larvae were less susceptible to baculovirus when fed on cotton leaves (38 ± 4.17 and 70 ± 6.44% mortality) in the two concentrations tested (2×106 and 2×107 OBs/mL, respectively). The LW was affected by the virus concentration depending on the plant species consumed and the virus concentrations. The PW was affected by the plant species used to feed larvae. There was no effect of the host plant on the OBs virus production. The results demonstrate adverse effects of the host plant on the infectivity of the SfMNPV-6NR in S. frugiperda, especially a deleterious effect of the cotton plant in the virus infection capacity.Keywords: Fall armyworm, entomopathogenic virus, tritrophic interaction, plant host, cotton. A INFECTIVIDADE DE SfMNPV SOBRE A LAGARTA-DO-CARTUCHO É INFLUENCIADA PELA PLANTA HOSPEDEIRA  RESUMO – Este trabalho avaliou a capacidade de infecção e produção de corpos de oclusão (CO) de SfMNPV- 6NR sobre a lagarta-do-cartucho, Spodoptera frugiperda, quando alimentada em diferentes plantas hospedeiras. O experimento foi realizado em laboratório, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, utilizando duas concentrações de SfMNPV-6NR (2×106 e 2×107 CO/mL) e seis diferentes plantas hospedeiras (soja, milho, algodão, feijão, sorgo e milheto). Foram avaliados a mortalidade larval, o peso de larvas mortas (PL), o peso de pupa (PP) e a produção de CO do vírus. As larvas de S. frugiperda foram menos suscetíveis ao baculovírus quando alimentadas com folhas de algodão, apresentando as menores taxas de mortalidade (38 ± 4,17 e 70 ± 6,44%) com as duas concentrações testadas (2×106 e 2×107 CO/mL, respectivamente). O PL foi afetado pela concentração de vírus, dependendo da espécie de planta consumida e concentração de vírus testada. O PP foi afetado pela espécie de planta com a qual as larvas foram alimentadas. Não houve efeito da planta hospedeira na produção de CO do vírus. Nossos resultados demonstram um efeito adverso da planta hospedeira sobre a infectividade do vírus em S. frugiperda, especialmente um efeito deletério da planta de algodão na capacidade de infecção do vírus.Palavras-chave: lagarta-do-cartucho-do-milho, vírus entomopatogênico, interação tritrófica, planta hospedeira, algodão.

RESUMO - O consórcio de culturas econômicas com plantas de cobertura tem se tornado cada vez mais importante por proporcionar a cobertura do solo, além de disponibilizar nutrientes. Dessa forma, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar as características agronômicas, produção de massa e a produtividade do milho consorciado com quatro diferentes plantas de cobertura. O experimento foi realizado na Fazenda de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão da UNESP, no município de Selvíria-MS, nos anos agrícolas 2013/2014 e 2015/2016. O delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos utilizados foram milho, milho + Crotalaria spectabilis, milho + guandu, milho + feijão-de-porco, e milho + Urochloa ruziziensis. Com base nos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que a utilização do consórcio entre milho e leguminosas e/ou gramínea promoveu aumento da massa seca sobre o solo e da quantidade acumulada de N, P e K, comparado ao cultivo de milho exclusivo; o consórcio do milho com Crotalaria spectabilis, guandu, feijão-de-porco e Urochloa ruziziensis reduziu a produtividade de grãos de milho em aproximadamente 10, 11, 14 e 9%, respectivamente, na média de dois anos de cultivo.Palavras-chave: Zea mays L., adubo verde, fixação biológica de N, cobertura do solo. BENEFITS OF INTERCROPPING CORN WITH GRASSY AND LEGUMES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON YIELD IN NO TILLAGE SYSTEM  ABSTRACT – The intercropping of economically important crops with cover plants has become very significant for providing soil cover as well as nutrients. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the morphological characteristics and yield of corn intercropped with four different cover crops. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station of UNESP, Selvíria county (MS), in the growing seasons 2013/14 and 2015/16. The experimental design was randomized blocks with five treatments and four replications. The treatments used were: corn, corn + Crotalaria spectabilis, corn + pigeon pea, corn + jack beans, and corn + Urochloa ruziziensis. The results showed that the use of intercropping between corn and legumes and / or grass promoted increase of the dry mass over the soil and the accumulated amount of N, P and K, compared to the exclusive corn crop; the corn intercropped with Crotalaria spectabilis, guandu, jack beans and Urochloa ruziziensis presented reduced grain yield by approximately 10, 11, 14, and 9%, respectively, in the two growing seasons.Keywords: Zea mays L., green manure, biological N fixation, soil cover.

ABSTRACT - Sorghum is associated with several functional benefits because it contains high levels of phenolic compounds, such as the flavonoids, flavones and flavanones. However, these compounds are sensitive to the period and conditions of storage. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate luteolin, apigenin, naringenin and eriodictyol retention in the sorghum genotypes SC319 (flour and grain) and TX430 (flour and bran) stored for 180 days at 4, 25 and 40 °C. These compounds were quantified by a high-performance liquid chromatograph equipped with a diode array detector. There was effect of the storage time, which favored the flavone and flavanone reduction in the evaluated genotypes. The storage temperature influenced the flavones more than the flavanone contents. The retentions ranged from 70.27 to 88.72% for luteolin, 69.04 to 99.15% for apigenin, 56.92 to 88.51% for naringenin and from 77.10 to 93.42% for eriodictyol at the three temperatures at the end of 180 days. Although flavones and flavanones were better preserved at 4 °C (about 88% of retention), at room temperature (25 °C) flavones and flavanones retentions were at least 77% and 85% after 180 days.Keywords: Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, storage losses, bioactive compounds, flavonoids retention. RETENÇÃO DE ALGUMAS FLAVONAS E FLAVANONAS EM FARINHA DE SORGO, GRÃO E FARELO DURANTE O ARMAZENAMENTO  RESUMO – O sorgo está associado a várias propriedades funcionais pelo fato de conter altos níveis de compostos fenólicos, como flavonoides, flavonas e flavanonas. No entanto, estes compostos são sensíveis ao período e condições de armazenamento. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a retenção de luteolina, apigenina, naringenina e eriodictilol nos genótipos de sorgo SC319 (farinha e grão) e TX430 (farinha e farelo) armazenados por 180 dias a 4, 25 e 40 °C. Estes compostos foram quantificados por cromatografia líquida de alto desempenho acoplada a detector de arranjo de diodos. Houve efeito do tempo de armazenamento, que favoreceu a redução de flavona e flavanona nos genótipos avaliados. A temperatura de armazenamento influenciou as flavonas mais do que o conteúdo de flavanona. As retenções variaram de 70,27 a 88,72% para luteolina, 69,04 a 99,15% para apigenina, 56,92 a 88,51% para naringenina e de 77,10 a 93,42% para eriodictilol nas três temperaturas no final de 180 dias. Embora as flavonas e flavanonas tenham sido melhor conservadas a 4 °C (cerca de 88% de retenção), em temperatura ambiente (25 °C), as retenções de flavonas e flavanonas foram pelo menos 77% e 85% após 180 dias.Palavras-chave: Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Um contraponto possível ao postulado continente da principiologia da ACI faz emergir possibilidades literárias marginais face aos princípios da participação econômica do cooperado e da gestão democrática da cooperativa, quando impregnada da pragmática nômade proposta por Deleuze e Guattari, conquanto o contexto contemporâneo é pensado a partir da plasticidade do bem estar entre a ética e a estética, fenômeno evidente, quando se aborda a felicidade como o fim da vivência em cooperativas.Recibido: 30 mayo 2018Aceptado: 10 octubre 2018Publicación en línea: 21 diciembre 2018

The present article reports on a study that extends Dynamic Assessment (DA) to the domain of second language (L2) writing instruction. As in general education, the L2 field has increasingly moved toward a process approach to writing that emphasizes the importance of multiple drafts, opportunities for feedback, and attempts at revision. The present study, undertaken collaboratively with an experienced classroom teacher of L2 Japanese, reformulated this process as three interrelated stages of mediated activity: an initial DA session in which the teacher prompted learners to identify and correct errors in order to identify knowledge and abilities that were in the process of emerging; a peer mediation session to collaboratively review, discuss, and correct exemplar sentences containing representative problematic constructions; and a whole-class discussion of the language constructions. Analysis of recorded and transcribed sessions indicates the value to learners of collaboratively discussing and correcting similar error types in their peers’ writing.
