ABSTRACT: Microbial biomass is a driving force in the dynamics of soil organic matter, and microbial activity is an indicator of soil quality in agroecosystems, reflecting changes in management practices and environmental conditions. We evaluated the effect of monoculture and intercropped winter cover crops on soil chemical attributes, microbial biomass carbon (MBC), basal respiration (BR), metabolic quotient (qCO2), urease, β-glucosidase, and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis activity, as well as onion yield in a no-tillage system. Soil is a Typic Humudept, and treatments were control with spontaneous vegetation, barley, rye, oilseed radish (OR), OR + rye, and OR + barley. The soil was sampled (0-10 cm) five times between June and December. There were no differences among treatments for MBC and BR, and the highest values for those attributes occurred in June, when cover plants were in their initial stage. Although, qCO2 was not affected by any treatment, it varied among sampling periods, ranging from 0.62 to 10 µg C-CO2 mg-1 MBC h-1, indicating a low- or no stress environment. Cover crops had little influence on enzyme activity, but FDA was lowered in areas with single crops of barley and rye. Average onion yield in cover crops treatments was 13.01 (Mg ha-1), 30-40% higher than in the control treatment.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to evaluate how the amount and type of diet consumed during the wean-to-estrus interval (WEI) affects reproductive performance and WEI duration in sows. A total of 542 sows were distributed into the following treatment groups based on a 2 × 2 factorial design: feed amount during WEI (2.75 or 3.75 kg/day) and diet (gestation [G] or lactation [L]) groups. Dietary treatments were as follows: high supply of G diet (GH), low supply of G diet (GL), high supply of L diet (LH), and low supply of L diet (LL). Sows were randomly allocated to groups according to their body score Caliper and birth order. There was an interaction (P < 0.05) between the factors for WEI duration, which was 0.2 days shorter in the GH and LL groups than in the other groups. No difference was observed between treatments (P>0.05) for the birth rate, total births, stillbirths, or total litter weight. There was a trend (P<0.10) toward a higher rate of live births in sows fed with G diet and sows receiving a low diet supply, with an average of 91.95% for both groups. In addition, there was a positive trend (P < 0.10) for live weight of the litter, where GH and LL treatments resulted in higher birth weight (17.9 and 17.7 kg, respectively) than other treatments. In conclusion, a supply of 3.75 kg/day or the use of a more energetic feed (lactation) during the WEI did not improve the reproductive performance of the subsequent cycle of sows in good body condition.

ABSTRACT: Etiology, multiple antibiotic resistance index, and acute-phase protein profile in the serum and synovial fluid of 44 horses presenting septic arthritis were investigated. Young animals up to 24 months of age not yet submitted to taming were sampled. Synovial samples from the horses were submitted to culture and bacterial isolates subjected to 18 antimicrobials to investigate the in vitro multidrug resistance pattern. Also, hematological aspects, fibrinogen, and serum levels of some acute-phase proteins (total protein, albumin, globulin, amyloid A, and C-reactive protein) were assessed. To statistical analysis, microbiological isolation were divided into four groups: G1 = animals with negative isolation, G2 = isolation of Gram-negative bacteria, G3 = isolation of Gram-positive bacteria), and G4 = isolation of fungi. Microbial isolation was obtained from 77.2% (32/44) of the synovial samples. Escherichia coli (7/44 = 15.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (5/44 = 11.4%), Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (3/44 = 6.8%), Aspergillus niger (3/44 = 6.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2/44 = 4.5%), Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (1/44 = 2.3%), Trueperella pyogenes (1/44 = 2.3%), and Rhodococcus equi (1/44 = 2.3%) were prevalent bacterial agents. Aspergillus niger is reported by the first time as a primary agent of septic arthritis in horses. Gentamicin (84.9%), marbofloxacin (79.3%) and ceftriaxone (72.4%) were the most effective antimicrobials, whereas high resistance of the isolates (>50%) was found to erythromycin (75.9%), clarithromycin (75.9%), penicillin (69%), clindamycin (58.6%), and streptomycin (55.2%). Multiple antibiotic resistance index (≥ 0.3) was identified in 50% (16/32) of the isolates, with highest resistance in Gram-negative bacterial isolates. Serum levels of amyloid A, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, globulin, and total protein, as well as the number of nucleated cells in the synovial fluid had values above the reference for horses, reinforcing acute-phase proteins as biomarkers in diagnosis of septic arthritis. We highlighted the diversity of microorganisms that may be involved in equine septic arthritis, the high resistance of bacterial isolates to conventional antimicrobials, the high lethality of young horses with septic arthritis, and importance of in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility pattern tests to therapeutic approaches in the disease.

Published: October 2020

Resumo: A avaliação da sustentabilidade dos processos de soldagem é focada principalmente na geração de resíduos. Dentro desta linha de pesquisa, quando se analisa os respingos provenientes da soldagem, como um resíduo contaminante e uma perda de recursos financeiros, percebe-se que este assunto é pouco explorado. Assim, este trabalho apresenta uma análise relacionada a sustentabilidade na aplicação de revestimento duro pelo processo FCAW. O objetivo é estudar a influência do parâmetro velocidade de aplicação de revestimento (VC) no Rendimento de Deposição (Rd) aplicado ao revestimento duro em camisas de moendas. Os aspectos relacionados a Triple Bottom Line foram discutidos em pró de uma manufatura sustentável e serão focados nos pilares econômicos e ambientais neste estudo. Como ponto de partida, entrou-se em contato como uma empresa parceira que executa esse procedimento utilizando Vc 10 m/min. Como proposta este estudo, utilizando Vc de 6, 10 e 13,6 m/min foi calculado o Rd para as 3 situações. Os resultados mostraram uma melhora no Rd quando se reduziu a Vc. Esta melhoria reflete em uma economia de aproximadamente R$ 6.7 milhões por ano e se evitaria de gerar 385 toneladas de materiais perigosos no Brasil. Resultados estes que contribuem para uma produção mais sustentável.

Published: October 2020

Abstract The validation of many anuran species is based on a strictly descriptive, morphological analysis of a small number of specimens with a limited geographic distribution. The Scinax Wagler, 1830 genus is a controversial group with many doubtful taxa and taxonomic uncertainties, due a high number of cryptic species. One example is the pair of species Scinax constrictus and Scinax nebulosus, which share a similar morphology. Scinax constrictus is restricted to the Brazilian Cerrado savanna, while S. nebulosus is widely distributed throughout northern South America. Despite the validation of many anuran species, discriminations based only on morphological traits is quite difficult due to the high conservative morphology of some groups. In this context, the present study uses mitochondrial and nuclear genes to provide a more consistent diagnosis and test the validity of S. constrictus as a distinct species from S. nebulosus, as well as evaluate the position of these taxa within the Scinax genus. The topologies obtained herein uphold the monophyletic status of Scinax based on all molecular markers assessed in this study, in all analytical approaches, with high levels of statistical support.

Abstract Although currently there is already a set of studies regarding ecological aspects of some particular reptile and amphibian species living in Brazilian sandy coastal plains (including the so-called “restinga” and “campo nativo” habitats), there is comparatively few information on the species composition usually associated to these environments. During 31 years (1988-2019) of herpetological studies carried out in sandy coastal plains environments by our research team of the Laboratory of Vertebrate Ecology (Department of Ecology, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, in Rio de Janeiro Brazil) we have surveyed reptile and amphibian communities and performed different studies with similar methods in 70 sites from 10 different states along the Brazilian coast. Our surveys resulted in records of 87 species of reptile (five turtles, two crocodylians, six amphisbaenians, 36 lizards and 39 snakes) from 24 families, and 77 species of anuran amphibians from nine families. We have studied multiple natural history topics for anurans and reptiles which resulted in the publication of some specific ecological studies, especially regarding some species, encompassing population and community ecology, foraging and feeding habits, species activity, thermoregulation, reproduction, use of microhabitats, and parasitism by ecto and endoparasites. Our results along these three decades have also contributed for the description of four new lizard species (Ameivula nativo, Glaucomastix littoralis, G. abaetensis and G. itabaianensis). Our studies constitute an important contribution to the knowledge of the ecology of anuran amphibians and reptiles in these ecosystems, as well as to the conservation of sandy coastal plains environment. The checklist presented in this study, based on our records of sandy coastal plains herpetofauna, provides for many localities along the Brazilian coast, the needed knowledge on species occurrence, including the presence of endemic and/or endangered species, which can be of value for many conservation actions.

Published: October 2020

Abstract Embolization is a well-known and accepted form of treatment for bleeding caused by a multitude of renal procedures. We present a case of a 66-year-old woman who had a history of left nephrectomy for clear cell carcinoma seven years previously and now presented with a 6 cm tumor involving the solitary kidney. She underwent partial laparoscopic nephrectomy with removal of the tumor on the right kidney. In the immediate postoperative period she had important and persistent hematuria associated with tachycardia, hypotension, and lumbar pain. After showing signs of hemodynamic instability, she was taken to the catheter laboratory where selective angiography of the right kidney was performed. Superselective embolization with controlled release of fibrous microcoils was performed. The superselective renal embolization technique performed on an emergency basis to control hemorrhage after a urological procedure is effective and achieves lasting resolution of symptoms.

ABSTRACT: Electrocardiographic markers have been used in people to classify arrhythmogenic risk. The aims of this study were to investigate electrocardiographic markers of conduction and repolarization in Boxers and non-Boxer dogs, and compare such findings between groups. Ten-lead standard electrocardiograms of Boxer dogs and non-Boxers recorded from 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Dogs ≥4 years of age and weighing >20kg were included. Animals with valvular insufficiencies, congenital cardiopathies, cardiac dilation, suspected systolic dysfunction, biphasic T-wave, bundle branch blocks, and those receiving antiarrhythmics were excluded. Electrocardiographic markers of conduction, QRS duration (QRSd) and dispersion (QRSD), and repolarization (corrected QT interval, Tpeak-Tend, JT and JTpeak), as well as derived indices, were measured. Two hundred dogs met the inclusion/exclusion requirements, including 97 Boxers (8.1±2.5 years old; 30±7kg) and 103 non-Boxer (8.8±2.5 years old, 30±8kg). QRSd and QRSD, and repolarization markers in lead II and left precordial lead V4 were considered similar between groups. Dispersion of late repolarization on lead rV2, Tpeak-Tend interval, was considered longer in Boxers (45±8ms vs 38±10ms, P=0.01). The Tpeak-Tend/JTpeak and the JTpeak/JT also differed between groups. Our results indicate that the dispersion of myocardial late repolarization in lead rV2 is slower in Boxers than other dog breeds.

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter spp. is a bacterial agent that causes gastroenteritis in humans and may trigger Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and is also considered one of the main foodborne diseases in developed countries. Poultry and pigs are considered reservoirs of these microorganisms, as well as raw or undercooked by-products are often incriminated as a source of human infection. Treatment in human cases is with macrolide, such erythromycin, that inhibits the protein synthesis of the microorganism. This study aimed to isolate Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from intestinal content samples of broiler chickens (n=20) and swine (n=30) to characterize the erythromycin resistance profile of the strains and to detect molecular mechanisms involved in this resistance. The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined by agar dilution. The Mismatch Amplification Mutation Assay-Polymerase Chain Reaction (MAMA-PCR) was performed to detect mutations at positions 2074 and 2075 of 23S rRNA region, in addition to PCR test to detect the erm(B) gene. From the intestinal content of broiler chickens, 18 strains of C. jejuni and two strains of C. coli were isolated, whereas, from swine samples, no C. jejuni strain and 14 strains of C. coli were isolated. All C. coli strains were resistant, and three C. jejuni strains from broilers chickens were characterized with intermediate resistance to erythromycin. The MIC of the strains ranged from ≤0.5mg/μL to ≥128mg/μL. All resistant strains had the A2075G mutation, and one strain with intermediate resistance had the A2075G mutation. However, the A2074C mutation and the erm(B) gene were not detected. High resistance levels were detected in C. coli strains isolated from swine. The MAMA-PCR is a practical tool for detecting the erythromycin resistance in Campylobacter strains.

ABSTRACT: Reproductive tests in cattle are of great economic importance, given the impact it can have on the production system and may be caused by agents. Neospora caninum and Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) are considered of great importance as reproductive and should be considered responsible for keeping animals persistently infected. The present study included 479 calf serum samples for export in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). All samples were screened for BVDV by an ELISA antigen. BVDV antigen-positive ELISA samples were isolated from BVDV in cell culture. An indirect immunofluorescence (IFT) technique was used to detect anti-N. caninum antibodies. Of the 479 export-treated serum samples, 361 were positive for BVDV antigens by ELISA and/or viral isolation test (361/479-75.36%), and 109 IFT-positive samples for N. caninum (109/479-22.75%). Despite detection of antibodies anti-N. caninum did not differ statistically between naturally infected BVDV and non-BVDV infected animals suggesting that there is no interference of BVDV infection on infection or detection rate of animals with N. caninum, positive animals in viral isolation and high DO in BVDV-Ag ELISA. may present active disease and consequent immunosuppression, contributing to a potential reactivation of N. caninum.

ABSTRACT: The diagnosis of several diseases in chelonians is a challenge in the veterinary clinic, because a detailed physical examination with auscultation and palpation is difficult due the presence of carapace and plastron. Imaging analysis such as radiography and computed tomography (CT) have been shown to be beneficial for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in numerous animal species. Thus, this study aimed to identify and describe the structures of the lower respiratory tract in red-foot tortoises, by computed tomography, radiography and gross anatomy in twelve red-foot tortoises (Chelonoidis carbonaria), adults and of both sexes. The lower respiratory tract in these animals comprised the larynx, trachea, bronchi and the lungs. The presence of epiglottic cartilage was not observed in the animals studied. CT allowed the observation of the intrapulmonary part of the bronchi, which was accompanied by large intrapulmonary blood vessels. The lungs presented a reticulated parenchyma, without lobulations. Each lung had a small chamber located near the cranial and caudal poles. These structures were identified in CT and 3D CT reconstructions and these could suggest that these chambers could be non-respiratory structures, and could be comparable to the air sacs of birds. This study establishes normal CT anatomy of the lower respiratory tract of the red-foot tortoise; and may be used as a reference in the assessment of respiratory disorders in this tortoise.

Authors: Estima-Silva Pablo , Scheid Haide Valeska , Schild Ana Lucia
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT: This review reports the leading causes of death in feedlot beef cattle. It describes economic losses resulting from these deaths and suggests control alternatives. Diseases associated with the respiratory and digestive systems were the most frequently observed. In different geographical areas, the importance of each one might vary. Outbreaks of diseases such as botulism occur occasionally and can cause important economic losses. Cattle tick fever can cause significant losses in zones of enzootic tick instability. Technical assistance and sanitary and food management are critical for the best productivity in feedlot cattle.

Published: October 2020

RESUMO Em um mercado global cada vez mais competitivo, torna-se cada vez mais difícil o estabelecimento de uma vantagem competitiva. A noção de que um desempenho superior requer que uma empresa adquira e sustente uma vantagem sobre a concorrência é central para o pensamento estratégico contemporâneo. Um atributo que oferece potencial para vantagem competitiva, tanto no mercado interno quanto no externo, é o país de origem do produto. Em geral, considera-se que o país de origem influencia as avaliações de produtos pelo consumidor e as suas decisões de compra. Como as organizações lidam com recursos limitados, elas precisam tentar desenvolver estratégias apropriadas à sua base de recursos. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo investiga a possibilidade de utilizar a informação do país de origem de produtos brasileiros como uma fonte de vantagem competitiva para as empresas brasileiras operantes no mercado externo. Um importante empecilho para essa estratégia deve-se à imagem do Brasil no exterior, que é principalmente associada a algumas habilidades esportivas ou criativas, não sendo atribuído quase nenhum significado ou importância ao Brasil enquanto provedor de itens de maior conteúdo tecnológico.

Abstract The purpose of this present study was to develop and validate a prediction equation for body composition assessment using anthropometric measures of elderly women. This is cross-sectional correlational study with 243 older women ± 64.5 years old and body mass index (BMI) ± 28.70 kg/m². For the development of the equation it was utilized the method of hold-out sample validation. The participants were randomly divided into equation development group (96 elderly women) and a group for validation (147 elderly women). Total body mass, height, waist and hip circumferences, ratio waist-hip ratio and BMI were measured. The whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) assessed body composition (percentage of body fat, fat mass, and fat-free mass). The equations were developed using multiple linear regression, with validation by the stepwise method; the comparison of the equations was analyzed by the paired Student's t test and the analysis of residual scores by the method of Blant and Altman. The New Equation presents a strong correlation (R = 0.83) and (R² = 0.69), and a standard error of estimation equals to 3.21% for percentage body fat prediction. The mean difference between the estimations of percentage body fat from DXA and the New Equation was 0.11% (t(0,180); P = 0.850). Therefore, the New Equation had an accuracy of 93.5% and a total error of 1.8%. The body fat estimation in older women using this New Equation based on BMI and age is valid and accurate.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the patent registrations registered in the nursing area from 2004 to 2019, relating to the beginning of the Professional Masters in Nursing. Method: Electronic documentary research carried out at the bases of the National Institute of Industrial Property and Lattes Platform. After data collection, requests, filing date, patent titles, international patent classification and areas of expertise of depositor / inventors were analyzed. Results: The study points out that there was no significant correlation between the number of registered patents with the prelude to the professional master's degree in nursing, corroborating with previous studies regarding incipience. Final considerations: although two of the initial objectives of professional master's programs are creation and technological innovation, it is analyzed that the granted institutions need to simplify and equip researchers with regard to the patent registration process, so that we can take off in this technological universe.
International Migration and Federative Co-ordination in Brazil: São Paulo and Porto Alegre Case Studies between 2013 and 2016
Authors: Otero Guilherme Arosa Prol , Lotta Gabriela Spanghero
Published: October 2020

Abstract This article analyses the co-ordination between national and municipal governments in Brazil regarding migration policy between the years of 2013 and 2016, using the concept of policy institutional arrangements and case studies of two Brazilian cities, São Paulo and Porto Alegre. The results reveal that the City of São Paulo government has advanced considerably in the sense of institutionalisation of the subject in the municipality by decentralising skills and assuming responsibilities for its migrant population, with relative autonomy from federal government. The City of Porto Alegre government shows a less institutionalised arrangement, with little technical and financial capability, less autonomy from federal and state governments, and great emphasis on civil society participation. Finally, it is advocated that the regulation of the New Migration Law may deal with a series of problems in the current federative arrangement, constituting federative-articulated policies, with greater capacity for public policy implementation, and more active participation of subnational governments in the development of the national migration policy.

Resumo O artigo problematiza as relações de gênero no primeiro Congresso Brasileiro de Eugenia, realizado no Rio de Janeiro, em 1929. Abalizadas como a maior manifestação pública do movimento eugênico no Brasil, as Atas e Trabalhos do Congresso foram foco de uma análise das questões de gênero expressas sob o espectro de intrínsecas concepções sobre hereditariedade e reprodução. As problematizações empreendidas se empenham em discutir, por meio do trabalho de diversos participantes do congresso, o papel e o status da mulher na eugenia brasileira, o controle reprodutivo no Brasil e a relação entre os estudos envolvendo a determinação de sexo biológico e a melhora da raça humana.
O evolucionismo na psicologia educacional: uma análise historiográfica
Authors: Lima Ana Laura Godinho
Published: October 2020

Resumo Analisa-se o discurso sobre o desenvolvimento humano veiculado em manuais de psicologia educacional destinados à formação docente. Caracteriza-se nesses discursos a presença da “teoria da recapitulação”. Essa teoria, elaborada por Ernst Haeckel no campo da embriologia no final do século XIX, afirma que o indivíduo atravessa diversos estágios de desenvolvimento, que correspondem à forma adulta de seus antepassados na sequência evolutiva. Foi apropriada pela psicologia e serviu como modelo explicativo para diversos aspectos do desenvolvimento, desde as diferenças individuais e grupais na forma e no tamanho do cérebro até a evolução da linguagem e da moral. A análise recorre aos escritos de Michel Foucault acerca da análise do discurso e de Nikolas Rose a respeito da história da psicologia.

Published: October 2020

Resumo Discutimos a tentativa de organização do Hospital Proletário na capital da Paraíba nos anos 1930. Para tanto, problematizamos a cobertura do jornal A União sobre esse episódio. O envolvimento de diferentes atores – trabalhadores, associações e médicos – revela a emergência de uma nova forma de pensar e praticar as políticas de saúde. Conforme o projeto varguista de construção nacional, tais ações visavam à formação de trabalhadores saudáveis, aptos para o mercado e úteis para a nação. Apesar de seu fracasso, o projeto do hospital evidencia as diferentes concepções sobre a saúde dos trabalhadores na Era Vargas. Apropriamo-nos dos conceitos de “interdependência sanitária”, “medicina social”, “cidadania regulada” e “trabalhismo”.
Transplantes de microbiota fecal para tratamento da colite pseudomembranosa (1958-2013): prioridade de descoberta e estilos de pensamento na literatura acadêmica

Published: October 2020

Resumo Em 1958, Eiseman e colaboradores publicaram o primeiro artigo científico relatando o uso de transplante de microbiota fecal para tratar casos graves de colite pseudomembranosa. A relevância desse trabalho inovador só foi reconhecida em 1990. A literatura acadêmica sobre o tema caracteriza-se por sucessivas reconstruções. Sugerimos que tais reconstruções foram orientadas por questões de atribuição de prioridade de descoberta científica nos termos propostos por Merton. A retomada do uso de transplantes de microbiota fecal é interpretada como processo de gênese de um fato científico, conforme Fleck: ocorre a mudança de um estilo de pensamento baseado no uso de antibióticos no tratamento de doenças infecciosas para outro que considera as relações ecológicas entre hospedeiros, vetores e agentes etiológicos de doenças.
A debate over the link between Salvador Allende, Max Westenhöfer, and Rudolf Virchow: contributions to the history of social medicine in Chile and internationally
Authors: Carter Eric D. , Delgado Marcelo Sánchez
Published: October 2020

Abstract In the history of Latin American social medicine, numerous works have presented a harmonious link between Rudolf Virchow, Max Westenhöfer, and Salvador Allende, which establishes the origin of ideas of Latin American social medicine in a prestigious European source, represented by Virchow. A key to that story is that Allende was a student of Westenhöfer, a disciple of Virchow who lived in Chile three times (1908-1911, 1929-1932, and 1948-1957). Based on primary sources and contextual data, this article problematizes the relationship between Allende and Westenhöfer, and questions the influence of Virchow in Chilean social medicine.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to characterize the growth and development of hairy fleabane (Conyza bonariensis) according to thermal accumulation and photoperiod, at different sowing times, and to propose a scale representing the main plant development stages. The experiment was carried out with ten replicates in the 2011/2012 growing season. The sowing dates were: 05/31/2011, 07/04/2011, 08/03/2011, 09/09/2011, and 11/07/2011. Plant height (cm) and phenology were evaluated weekly. The duration of the different stages (days) and thermal time accumulation (°C day) were determined. The linear regression analysis showed that plant height was related to thermal time accumulation. Regardless of the sowing date, the vegetative stage had a longer duration (in days and in ºC day) than the reproductive stage. Sowing on 11/07/2011 promoted the shortening of the vegetative stage, and the rosette stage did not occur. Flowering was induced in the photoperiod between 12.5 and 13.5 hours of light, regardless of the sowing date. Slow growth was observed at lower temperature conditions, when plants accumulated 30.9 and 16.3°C day per centimeter of height for the 05/31/2011 and 11/07/2011 sowing dates, respectively. The phenology scale adequately predicts the development stages of hairy fleabane.
The Age of Time according to Carlos Fuentes
Authors: Olivier Florence
Published: October 2020

Born on 11 November 1928, Carlos Fuentes on 15 May 2012 met on Parnassus the princes of word and vision that one of his deceased characters dreamed of in El naranjo (1993; The Orange Tree). If, as he wrote in Constancia y otras novelas para vírgenes (1990; “Constancia” and Other Stories for Virgins), readers are the ghosts of writers (296), the author of Terra nostra (1975) was, for his part, a ghost of Cervantes and disciple of Erasmus who rewrote La Celestina, Don Quixote, the successive Don Juans of Tirso de Molina, Zorrilla, and Mozart, the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and Luca Signorelli, the gnostic gospels, and the texts of the Jewish mystical tradition.
The Cacique in Chapultepec: Toward a Museology of Carlos Fuentes
Authors: Ruisánchez José Ramón
Published: October 2020

The 1960s were a crucial decade for museum building in Mexico. The key year was 1964, the end of Adolfo López Mateos's presidential term, since it saw the inauguration of the Museo de Arte Moderno, the Anahuacalli, the Museo de la Ciudad de México, and the most spectacular of all: the Museo Nacional de Antropología, the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez's masterpiece and one of the country's primary tourist attractions. The 1960s also witnessed how Carlos Fuentes, a young writer who had published his first novel in 1958, continued to produce his canonical works at a staggering pace. In what follows, the dialogue between Fuentes's early fiction and the Museo Nacional de Antropología, two of the jewels of Mexican high modernism (always a dialogue with nationalism), not only invites a rereading of their most obvious features—namely, the luminous tension between their structures and their meticulous attention to detail—but also, from the distance of half a century (especially from the vantage point of the PRI's return to power), reveals a series of hitherto unexamined gaps and silences that merit critical attention.
The Radical-Teaching Debate

As many articles in the March 2009 issue of PMLA imply, the question of ability is central to any consideration of the human. For example, in “Human, All Too Human: ‘Animal Studies’ and the Humanities” (124.2 [2009]: 564–75), Cary Wolfe shows how the humanities transgresses its own limits and thereby shifts its locus and center. Insofar as this broad area of study is the appropriate venue for reflection on the discursive boundary of the human, it must erase that boundary.

Examining the Connective Patterns of Tourism Destinations in Multi-Destination Travel: A Case of Deagu, South Korea
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kang Sang-Hoon , Park Deuk-Hee
Published: October 2020

Continuous advances in tourism environments, such as in transportation and information technology, have enabled tourists to visit multiple destinations during a single trip and inspired multi-destination travel research. Yet theoretical development around multi-destination travel lags behind, particularly in systematically explaining the hierarchical structure of complex connections between/among tourism destinations. This study explores the connective patterns of tourism destinations by applying central place theory from geography. Data were drawn from the 2018 Daegu Tourism Survey, conducted by the metropolitan city of Daegu. These data were processed using several social network analysis techniques, including density analysis and normalized closeness centrality, to identify inter-destination connections. Tourists were also classified into two groups (high- and low-expense) based on their travel expenses. Results reveal clear differences in network density between these groups. The groups’ ranking of tourism destinations varied as well. Additionally, a central tourism destination was identified by the closeness centrality, indicating that central place theory can effectively convey the distribution patterns of tourism destinations in a city. These findings offer theoretical and practical implications to enhance tourism destination environments.
A Study on Tourism Resources Using Local Specialties: The Determinants of Willingness to Pay for Jeju Seafood

Published: October 2020

Food is considered one of the important factors among many tourist resources as it creates an image of tourism and induces tourists to visit again who are satisfied with the food. In terms of tourism, the importance of food experiences and visits to restaurants is increasing. Therefore, this study selected Jeju Island, Korea's leading tourist destination, as the research site. The purpose of the study was to explore the determinants of Jeju seafood's willingness to pay, noting that although Jeju Island's seafood was an important tourist resource, research conducted in this area was somewhat insufficient. The candidates to account for willingness to pay are price fairness, amount, poor sanitation, and healthiness. This study executed data collection for Koreans at Jeju Airport for 3 days from November 25 to 27, 2019. The total number of data used in the analysis is 252. Research hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression. The results appears that willingness to pay is positively influenced by price fairness, amount, and healthiness. However, willingness to pay is negatively affected by poor sanitation. In terms of the control variables, consumers with higher monthly household income have higher willingness to pay for seafood. This study investigated the willingness of tourists to pay for seafood in Jeju Island to turn local specialties into tourism resources. Given the results, this research presents the implication to enhance the quality of Jeju seafood to develop tourism resources.

Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study is to explore innovative tourism policies in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era. Each local government should support the related laws and systems so that various tourist contents can be developed and distributed in preparation for post-COVID-19. It is time to have tourism policy to prepare for the post-COVID-19 era while safely activating the domestic tourism industry. Therefore, this study aims to prepare for the post-COVID-19 era by presenting innovative tourism policies of tourism industry, which is one of the most hit areas due to COVID-19. The innovative tourism policy of the post-COVID-19 era was presented, and the contents are as follows: (a) the development of drive-through tourism model, (b) the response to overtourism, (c) the cultivation of leisure industry that offers innovative marine culture tourism experience, (d) the establishment of tourism infrastructure in rural areas corresponding to urban tourism which is characterized as a new paradigm of tourism - smart tourism, (e) the creation tourism environment that supports tourism in North Korea, and (f) the revitalization of the convergence tourism industry which can be permeated in to everyday life. Macroscopically, the tourism industry should respond to climate change immediately and participate in the revitalization of tourism on the Korean peninsula. The tourism industry will be an important leverage to create a future Korean economy in the post-COVID-19 era. The transition of the idea that the current crisis of tourism industry is an opportunity will contribute to advancing the tourism of Korea in the post-COVID-19 era. Based on the analysis of previous studies, this study draws meaningful implications for future research.

Interpretations of Slope Through Written and Verbal Interactions Between a Student and Her Tutors in Algebra 1
Authors: DEJARNETTE A. F. , MCMAHON S. , HORD C.
Published: October 2020

There is an ongoing need to support students’ learning of linear functions, and the study of slope makes up a foundational component of this learning. We applied techniques from systemic functional linguistics to document the meanings that were established through spoken interaction between a student and her tutors during discussions of slope. We found that, while fraction notation gave the student and tutors a common reference point to discuss slope, it also masked important differences in how the student interpreted slope compared to her tutors. The findings of this analysis imply the need not only to attend to how students quantify slope, but also whether students recognize slope as an attribute of a line.
Humus condition of brownish-podzolic soils of the Pregorganian Precarpathians

The indicators of humus condition reflect not only the productivity of soils, but also the features of the genesis, intensity and direction of soil-forming processes. It was found that the brownish-podzolic soils of the Pregorganian Precarpathian region are characterized by a low content of humus (1 36-3.7%) within the NE gl horizon, and in the lower horizons its content decreases sharply. Profile distribution of humus is determined as regressive-accumulative type, which is typical for most soils with elluvial-illuvial type of profile. The content of humus in the silty fraction of the studied soils is 1.5-2.0 times higher in comparison with the fine soil, and within I (e) m gl of the horizon the accumulation of humus is established, which is due to the lessivage process. Brown-podzolic soils are characterized by fulvate type of humus (C ha: C fa = 0.2-0.5). The movement of fulvic acids within the profile, especially organo-mineral colloids, is caused by the lessivage process. Among fulvic acids, the fraction connected with the mineral part (FC-3) has the highest content, which increases with the depth from 17.6 to 35.1%. The enhance in the content of this fraction with depth is primarily due to the ability to migrate within the profile. It can cause both the movement of fulvic acids deep into the profile with their sorption on peptizing colloids, and the joint movement of organo-mineral peptized colloids in the profile. The highest level of humification (28.10–28.75%) have upper humus-elluvial horizons, because they create the best conditions for the intensive activity of microorganisms. The humus content in clay cutans is 1.5 times higher than in the contained illuvial horizon, which is caused by lessivage and clay granulometric distribution. The humus content in the nodules is lower (0.26%) in comparison with the contained horizon. The results of the optical density analysis indicate a decrease in the extinction index from NE g1 to I (e) m gl of the horizon, which correlates with the indicators of the profile distribution of humic acids, the total content of which decreases with the depth. Such characteristics of humus composition indicate the genetic affinity with brown forest soils.
An Electronic Criminal Case: What it Means and the Ways to Create It
Authors: Sheremetyev I. I.
Published: October 2020

The paper highlights that in modern conditions the improvement of criminal proceedings is firmly connected with the introduction of digital technologies. As a result of this introduction, the usual criminal case on paper will gradually be replaced by an electronic criminal case. The use of such an electronic criminal case can result in many advantages, which are consistently described in the paper. The author notes that certain elements of the future electronic criminal case can already be found in the practical activities of investigative bodies and courts. The author comes to the conclusion that actual prerequisites to transfer materials of a conventional criminal case into digital form are being gradually developed. For a number of objective reasons, this process cannot be facilitated. But lack of facilitation is also unacceptable. The worldwide coronavirus pandemic has sharply raised the possibility of remote examination of criminal cases, reducing human contact to a possible minimum in the investigation of crimes. The possible solution to these problems can be seen in the maximum use of various digital technologies, including the creation of an electronic criminal case. It can be assumed that there will be some dualism in our legal proceedings over a certain transition period — along with a traditional paper criminal case, an electronic criminal case will be used gradually displacing the traditional case. The current task of the legislator is to develop both existing and emerging elements of the future electronic criminal case, determine their legal nature and requirements for their procedural form, develop the concept of the carrier of such a case.
