El tiempo de las humanidades digitales
Authors: Ziegler Delgado María Magdalena
Published: July 2020

Las Humanidades Digitales plantean un campo de investigación, enseñanza y creación de grandes retos. Cuando disciplinas como la Historia del Arte se proyectan en la preservación, estudio y difusión del Patrimonio Cultural, el principal obstáculo en los tiempos que corren puede ser la carencia de dominio de competencias digitales que permitan el provecho eficaz de las herramientas que están disponibles para el ciudadano global. Éste, en su doble papel de info-ciudadano y ciber-activista requiere de la capacitación adecuada para impactar benéficamente al patrimonio cultural. La Historia del Arte podría tener un papel preponderante si asume el uso de herramientas digitales como Google Arts & Culture, abrazando así el potencial de las Humanidades Digitales en cuyo predio podría inscribirse. La apropiada gestión de la información, incluyendo su eficaz difusión, resultan vitales para la protección del patrimonio cultural. Es por ello que el provecho que puede obtenerse, en predios de las disciplinas tradicionalmente asociadas al estudio y difusión del patrimonio cultural, de las herramientas digitales disponibles en de altísimo valor. Analizar las posibilidades de Google Arts & Culture desde la perspectiva de las Humanidades Digitales abriría un ramillete de posibilidades para el nuevo ciudadano global que se encuentra en la búsqueda de canales de participación que le permitan expresarse, conectarse y conocer mejor el mundo que le rodea.

Published: July 2020

The power of the small can be seen in Jonathan Wyatt's articulation of creative-relational and its institutional embodiment at the Centre for Creative-Relational Inquiry at the University of Edinburgh. This short essay explores some ways this embodiment of the small has large repercussions for those of us who need and wish to have creative space made, held, and shared in the academy.
“You Don’t Know Exactly Which Country You Have to Belong To”
Authors: Patiño Jimmy
Published: July 2020

This article examines the 1931 desegregation case based in Southeast San Diego County, Roberto Alvarez v. Lemon Grove Independent School District, through the lens of the deportation regime. This analysis reveals the ways new pressures from deportation-based immigration policies initiated in the 1920s complicated widely shared notions of transnational Mexicano identity and emphasized differences in nativity and citizenship status. The practice of apprehending individuals identified as “illegal aliens” took on a new form during the repatriation efforts of the Great Depression—removal. Within this new context, this article highlights the significance of the fact that working-class Mexican-origin migrant parents mobilized to demand educational equality for their children and to reject segregation. It illuminates how the Lemon Grove Mexican-origin community gave expression to a more expansive notion of their anti-segregation worldview than that found in the court ruling. They envisioned a community that was transnational and inclusive regardless of citizenship status, and they challenged segregation beyond mere claims to whiteness, critiquing inequality of resources with little reference to assimilationist goals.

Defaults in Credit Agreements: How Are They Settled?
Authors: Auliandi Rizky , Simanjuntak Mangatur Hadiputera
Published: July 2020

This study aims to determine whether the debtor has carried out his achievements as they should and knows the legal consequences for the debtor when trying to carry out his achievements more than the specified due date. This research is a normative or doctrinal research that is descriptive in nature using secondary data types. In this research, the data collection technique used is the study of literature. The results showed that Sujono, as the debtor and PT BPR Mranggen Mitra Persada as the creditor had carried out the credit agreement. By fulfilling the legal conditions of the agreement as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code, both subjective and objective terms, the agreement credit between PT BPR Mranggen Mitra Persada as the creditor and Sujono as the debtor is a legal agreement, but in credit repayments Sujono has an arrears of credit repayments calculated from the principal debt, interest, and costs incurred due to arrears. Since PT BPR Mranggen Mitra Persada filed a lawsuit with the Blora District Court, Sujono as a defendant had no good intention to attend the trial. The Panel of Judges decided to drop the verdict without the presence of the defendant called verstek. From this decision the defendant or Sujono fought against verstek or what was called the verzet. With respect to the verzet submitted by Sujono, the judge considered that the resistance was rejected by the Panel of Judges based on the consideration that Sujono had wrongly determined his legal subject and incorrectly determined the arguments of the resistance proposed by Sujono against PT BPR Mranggen Mitra Persada. Based on the decision of the Panel of Judges, Sujono is still considered to have defaulted and must fulfil his achievements.
Long non-coding RNA H19 contributes to wound healing of diabetic foot ulcer

Published: July 2020

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic and non-healing complication of diabetes that leads to high hospital costs and, in extreme cases, to amputation. Recent studies have reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are linked to various diabetes-related symptoms. Thus, we aim to explore the role of lncRNA H19 in the wound healing process following DFU. Fibroblasts were isolated from the ulcer margin tissues of DFU patients, with the expression of lncRNA H19, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) or serum response factor (SRF) altered by lentivirus infection. Next, rat models of DFU induced by high glucose and lipid diet were established, which was also infected with the corresponding lentivirus. The interaction among lncRNA H19, SRF and CTGF was determined. Afterward, cell proliferation and apoptosis, angiogenesis, ECM remodeling and wound healing in DFU tissues were evaluated to explore the effects of lncRNA H19/SRF/CTGF and MAPK signaling pathway on DFU. CTGF was poorly expressed in ulcer tissues from DFU rats and patients. CTGF overexpression was shown to activate the MAPK signaling pathway to promote cell proliferation, ECM remodeling, angiogenesis and wound healing while inhibiting cell apoptosis. lncRNA H19 was validated to elevate CTGF expression by recruiting SRF to the promoter region of CTGF, thus accelerating cell proliferation, ECM remodeling and wound healing while repressing cell apoptosis. Furthermore, MAPK signaling pathway activation is confirmed to be the underlying mechanism behind lncRNA H19/CTGF/SRF-induced results. Thus, lncRNA H19 accelerated wound healing in DFU through elevation of CTGF and activation of the MAPK signaling pathway.
Insulin sensing by astrocytes is critical for normal thermogenesis and body temperature regulation

Published: July 2020

The important role of astrocytes in the central control of energy balance and glucose homeostasis has recently been recognized. Changes in thermoregulation can lead to metabolic dysregulation, but the role of astrocytes in this process is not yet clear. Therefore, we generated mice congenitally lacking insulin receptors (Ir) in astrocytes (IrKOGFAP mice) to investigate the involvement of astrocyte insulin signaling. IrKOGFAP mice displayed significantly lower energy expenditure and a strikingly lower basal and fasting body temperature. When exposed to cold, however, they were able to mount a thermogenic response. IrKOGFAP mice displayed sex differences in metabolic function and thermogenesis that may contribute to the development of obesity and type II diabetes as early as 2 months of age. While brown adipose tissue exhibited higher adipocyte size in both sexes, more apoptosis was seen in IrKOGFAP males. Less innervation and lower BAR3 expression levels were also observed in IrKOGFAP brown adipose tissue. These effects have not been reported in models of astrocyte Ir deletion in adulthood. In contrast, body weight and glucose regulatory defects phenocopied such models. These findings identify a novel role for astrocyte insulin signaling in the development of normal body temperature control and sympathetic activation of BAT. Targeting insulin signaling in astrocytes has the potential to serve as a novel target for increasing energy expenditure.
Del giro ontológico a la ontología relacional y política, una mirada a la propuesta de Arturo Escobar
Authors: Díaz Guzmán Diana Alejandra
Published: July 2020

Se analiza la apuesta ontológica de Arturo Escobar a partir de dos formas en las que esta se expresa, para vislumbrar los alcances y limitaciones de esta concepción ontológica. La primera concepción radica en lo que el autor denomina ontología relacional y la segunda versa en la llamada ontología política. El texto está dividido en cuatro apartados, el primero introduce al lector a lo que representa la pregunta por el ser, haciendo hincapié en Martin Heidegger. El segundo expone brevemente el contexto que se puede evidenciar en la apuesta académica del antropólogo colombiano a través del giro ontológico, desarrollado desde la antropología, en el que se destaca una crítica al paradigma occidental dualista naturaleza/cultura y, a su vez, de la teoría decolonial que denuncia a la Modernidad y la vigencia de la colonialidad de ser, para así poder comprender la propuesta de la ontología relacional de Escobar. El tercer apartado expresa desde las categorías de territorio y pluriverso una premisa fundamental: pensar lo político presupone una ontología, es decir, una visión de mundo sobre lo que es y está, de esta manera se articula el proyecto de la ontología desde la relacionalidad con luchas que reivindican los mundos y los derechos de las comunidades; en el cuarto y último apartado se exponen los alcances y límites de la ontología de Escobar, así como caminos posibles para considerar en investigaciones futuras.
Los lugares de la memoria en América Latina
Authors: Díaz Quintero Juliana Paola
Published: July 2020

Se propone una reflexión filosófica sobre el imperativo ético y político de pensar y reconstruir nuestro pasado a partir de la experiencia del sujeto latinoamericano oprimido y resistente. En este orden de ideas, el objetivo principal del artículo es emprender una búsqueda de aquellos lugares en los que habitan y se conservan en el tiempo las memorias de los latino-americanos antes y después del proceso de colonización o de “invasión” de la Modernidad europea. Esta indagación se inclina específicamente hacia esas memorias “no oficiales”, construidas desde las comunidades en sus prácticas culturales, que mediante la rememoración y la tradición oral crearon vínculos de resistencia contra el olvido, al tiempo que preservaban aspectos fundamentales de sus tradiciones. Así, llamamos lugares a aquellos elementos que albergan fragmentos de lo pretérito invisibilizado por el discurso histórico oficial y que permiten establecer un vínculo trascendente entre pasado y presente, una recreación del pasado que surge a partir de la reconstrucción interpretativa de ruinas, rastros y vestigios de un tiempo que no ha dejado de ser y al que aún es posible acceder y conocer. Posteriormente, se destacan algunos episodios importantes de nuestra historia latinoamericana en los que esas memorias encuentran su lugar.

Construction et déconstruction de l’héroïque dans Le Taureau de Mazargues de R.-M. Rolland (1931)
Authors: Müller Claudia
Published: July 2020

L’article analyse le roman de rugby Le Taureau de Mazarguesde R.-M. Rolland, publié en 1931. L'objectif est de montrer que le protagoniste Jean est dépeint comme un héros sportif, dont le statut héroïque est cependant fondamentalement marqué par son ambivalence. En servant les conditions constitutionnelles de l'héroïque et en les problématisant en même temps, la narration construit cette figure héroïque brisée. Les catégories « les créateurs de héros », « le public », « l’acte héroïque » et « l’héroïsation » sont au centre de l'enquête. L'article propose de lire le roman de Rolland comme une histoire d'aliénation sous le signe de l'héroïsme.

Compte rendu
Pour une autre histoire du théâtre français du XVIIe siècle
Authors: Louvat Bénédicte
Published: July 2020

Le XVIIe siècle est considéré comme l’âge d’or du théâtre français, pour avoir vu naître le trio que forment Corneille, Molière et Racine, auteurs des chefs-d’œuvre immortels que sont, notamment, Le Cid, Tartuffe et Phèdre. Sans jamais le dire et encore moins le penser, une telle conception fait en réalité coïncider l’histoire du théâtre français avec celle du théâtre parisien et un siècle entier avec une quarantaine d’années tout au plus. C’est donc une autre histoire que nous aimerions raconter autant que donner à penser, une histoire qui embrasse la production théâtrale des territoires français en dehors de la capitale, avant et après les bornes chronologiques étroites qui vont des années 1630 aux années 1670 et dans les langues de France autres que le français autant que dans la « langue de Molière ».
Affektive Transmission. Das textuelle Kind bei Marie de Gournay und bei Montaigne
Authors: Witt Amalia
Published: July 2020

Eine außergewöhnliche, fingierte Verwandtschaftsrelation bestand zwischen der späteren Herausgeberin sowie Schriftstellerin Marie de Gournay (1565-1645) und dem Verfasser der Essais, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592). 1588 trafen sich die junge Unbekannte und der arrivierte Renaissancedenker zum ersten Mal in Paris und schlossen einen Bund (alliance). Fortan nahmen sie auf einander Bezug als père d’alliance und fille d’alliance. Die lebensweltliche Tragweite dieser früh-neuzeitlichen Allianz zwischen dem „geistigen Ziehvater“ Montaigne und seiner „geistigen Ziehtochter“ Marie de Gournay ist nur schwerlich fassbar, handelte es sich doch weder um eine durch Blutsverwandtschaft legitimierte, noch um eine rechtlich beglaubigte Verwandtschaftsbeziehung. Eine komparative Lektüre der Essais und verschiedener, von Marie de Gournay verfasster Texte lässt allerdings den Schluss zu, dass eine Kontinuitätslinie zwischen fille d’alliance und père d‘alliance auf einer textuellen Ebene festzustellen ist: Das semantische Feld rund um die Metaphorik des textuell erzeugten, geistigen, „vererbten“ und letztlich „verwaisten“ Kindes findet sich sowohl intra- als auch intertextuell zwischen den Essais sowie von Marie de Gournay verfassten Texten aufgespannt. Die Gesamtwerke Montaignes und Marie de Gournays, Les Essais beziehungsweise Les Advis, werden textuell „vererbt“, indem sie metaphorisch als „geistige Kinder“ einem Vormund angetragen werden. Einzelne Passagen der untersuchten Texte und Paratexte fungieren somit als autoreferenzieller und metatextueller Aushandlungsort nicht nur der Konstitution, sondern auch der Überlieferung jener schutzbedürftigen geistigen „(Waisen)Kinder“ (orphelins). Unter Bezug auf affekttheoretische und praxeologische Ansätze wird das „textuelle Kind“ bei Marie de Gournay als affektive Transmissionspraxis beleuchtet.
Vom Schreien und Schreiben einer Nation. Mündlichkeit, Schriftlichkeit und Affekte in Esteban Echeverrías "La cautiva"
Authors: Klein David
Published: July 2020

Ausgehend von der emotionssoziologischen These, die Affekte als soziale Instrumente begreift, die immer dann auf den Plan treten, wenn für stabil geglaubte Weltbilder ins Wanken geraten, unterzieht der vorliegende Beitrag das Langgedicht La cautiva von Esteban Echeverría einer kritischen Analyse. Zum Kanon der nation-building Literatur gehörig, inszeniert der Text die Eroberung der Pampa durch zwei Geliebte sowie deren Liebestod. Liest sich der Text auf den ersten Blick als affektvolle Ausrufung einer argentinischen Nation, so offenbart sich in einer konnotativen Semantik von Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit ein zunehmend distanziertes Verhältnis zu ersterer und eine Hinwendung zu letzter. Nicht die Ureinwohner allein, sondern vielmehr das gesprochene oder geschriene Wort, mit dem sie der Text in Verbindung setzt, gilt es gegenüber der Sichtbarkeit der Schrift einzugrenzen und zu beherrschen, um dem nationalen Projekt den Weg zu bahnen.

CINTA: Solusi Epistemologis Kerukunan Beragama (Kajian Titik Temu Antara Filsafat Perenial dan Tasawuf)
Authors: Setiawan Cucu
Published: July 2020

Today, the interfaith conflicts still occur frequently. This makes us aware of the importance of involving religion to take part in paying attention to these humanitarian problems and trying to solve them together. Involving religion in this case is clear as a proof that religion can be a way out of every problem, since religion is not enough when it is only as a forum to manifest our longing to God. Religion demands a concrete involvement in all ethical problems of humanity. This present study uses a qualitative method of literature review. This paper aims to deepen the study of the religious recognition of love by using Perennial Philosophy and Sufism to make it becomes the epistemological foundation of religious harmony. The result of this study concludes that love, which is the essence of every religion, is a logical and ethical choice in the effort to include religion in the above problem. Religious recognition of love becomes an epistemological solution to the realization of religious harmony. Love has removed the attributes of formality. Love is no longer looking at position, religion, and even at the human’s role and status. By considering love as the essence, people only consider that I am human, you are human, and we are all human. So, when all realize that they are human beings who live because of love, human’s duty is only to love one another.
PESANTREN SALAF: PERUBAHAN SOSIAL DAN SUBLIMASI IDENTITAS DENGAN KOMBINASI TASAWUF, FIQIH DAN TAUHID (Model Pesantren di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Jawa Barat)

Published: July 2020

On the one hand, in the environment of the Pesantren salaf community, a kind of environment and tradition is formed which shows its unique, even unique characteristics, which are only understood by the community. Gus Dur, in this case, stated that the Pesantren salaf community is a community that has its own subcultural in the middle of society with the complexity of the problems in it. But on the other hand, there is a very rapid development of science and technology, so it demands pesantren salaf to make changes to adjust to the times, both in terms of the education system, the boarding school environment, institutions, leadership patterns, and others. Therefore, the study contained in the title "Pesantren Salaf: Social Change and Sublimation of Identity (Pesantren Model in West Java)", is very important to be carried out.The purpose of this study is none other than to find the concept of changes that occur in Pesantren salaf in West Java. For more details, they are: 1) uncovering the factors that drive changes in pesantren in West Java; 2) reveal pesantren's efforts in facing the challenges of the times, and 3) find forms of changes that occur in the Pesantren salaf in West Java.This research departs from a thought that social change will occur due to four things. First, Evolution. This theory states that humans as part of a cultured society will naturally develop gradually from simple forms to complex and perfect stages. Second, Conflict. This theory strongly believes that change will only occur if there is conflict. Third. Functional Theory. Social change occurs because of the disharmony between cultural elements. Fourth, Cycle Theory. Social change by itself will occur and cannot be controlled.The method used in this research is descriptive. In the process, the data is collected and compiled. After the data is collected and arranged in such a way, the authors analyze it and provide interpretation, with a qualitative approach. So that it is expected to be able to uncover the realities of the Pesantren salaf which are changing in the community.The results of the study stated that the Pesantren salaf can adapt well to social change by bringing up certain identities. This shift in identity needs to be examined and studied through the theory of action put forward by Max Weber. First, zweckrational. This theory is known as rational-purpose. In doing something always with a good and accurate calculation. Second, wertrational or rational-values. The involvement of the subject is directly involved in matters of absolute importance. The four traditionalists. This theory of action rests on established and established customs or traditions. Traditionalist theories respect existing authority.
ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF MODERN COMMERCIAL PORK PRODUCTS
Authors: Garmatyk K. , Susol R. , Broshkov M. , Danchuk O. , Panikar Ih. , Susol L.
Published: July 2020

By a morphological study of carcasses of young pig stock of different origin, it has been proved that up-to-date crossbreeding schemes using meat-type breeds as parents increase the percentage of meat in a carcass and optimise the lean-to-fat ratio. Physicochemical analysis of pork obtained from pigs of different breeds has shown that all the parameters investigated are within the current physiological standards. Most parameters have shown no significant difference, though tend to exhibit some peculiarities associated with the effect of a genotype on how this or that physicochemical characteristic manifests itself. The use of the Piétrain breed as the sire line decreases the intramuscular fat content, and hence the calorific value of pork. The back fat of this breed has the highest melting point, which indicates its high storability, but somewhat lower cooking properties than those of similar products obtained from offspring of Large White and Landrace parents. The pH and water-holding capacity of the pork of Piétrain-sired offspring make it quite similar to PSE (Pale, Soft, Exudative) meat: this pork is slightly less tender and paler in colour and exhibits greater weight loss during thermal processing. Also, the result of a comprehensive sensory evaluation of boiled pork and pork broth obtained from Piétrain-sired young stock was the lowest, which is consistent with most of the physicochemical properties of pork from pigs of this genotype. So, it is the 75% purebred Landrace that should be favoured as a terminal sire line in crossbreeding programmes in order to obtain pork and bacon of improved quality in intensive commercial swine production systems. It is recommended to combine Piétrain and Duroc lines to produce terminal sires, ½ (Piétrain + Duroc), that will be further mated with two-breed-cross dams – ½ (Large White + Landrace).
INVESTIGATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF WATER-SOLUBLE GLUCAN YEAST SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
Authors: Cherno N. , Naumenko K.
Published: July 2020

It is known that a well-functioning immune system is important for human health. There are many natural and synthetic preparation that are widely used as immunomodulators. One such natural preparat is β-glucan. Beta-glucans are a group of natural polysaccharides. They are recognized as an effective immunocorrector. Their use is advisable both for the prevention of immunodeficiency pathologies and for the complex treatment of many diseases from cardiovascular to oncological. The physiological activity of β-glucan depends on the type and configuration between monosaccharide residues, branching and conformation of macromolecules, solubility in water. One major source of β-glucan is the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Much research has been carried out over the years examining cell wall glucans from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work is the development devoted to the characterization of water-soluble beta-glucan obtained as a result of controlled degradation with the enzyme Rovabio Excel AP of glucan cell walls of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study conditions were selected which allow to accumulate the maximum water-soluble fractions with a molecular mass of 1–30 kDa presumably as fractions with a high immunomodulatory effect. The results of the paper show that glucan can be isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in very pure form by the method used in this study. Thus structural analysis gives reliable results. The structural characterization of pure product was performed using the common analytical procedures: enzymes hudrolyses and spectral analyses FTIR, NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of the obtained results it was concluded that  investigated glucan is a (1→3)-β-linked glucose polymer with (1→6)-β-linked side chains with sparsely branched. Further work will concern the physiological effect of water-soluble glucan in comparision to the native glucan. The structural requirements for example for an immunomodulation in humans or animals are still under discussion.
From Coronavirus to Climate Literacy: lessons learned or welcome excuse when it comes to battling climate change?
Authors: Rahman Ahelee
Published: July 2020

Climate change is an incredibly important issue that has horrific long-term impacts if necessary lifestyle and policy changes are not made now. Despite the presence of significant scientific evidence of climate change for years, many politicians are still unable to admit that climate
change is real, let alone create policies to better combat this crisis. In the Australian context in particular, it seemed that politicians would never be able to put their political ambition aside to do what is best for the community and the nation. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic,
Australian politicians have put aside their political differences and created effective policies without being bogged down by unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. The pandemic has especially highlighted the benefits of unity, information and steadfast, consistent messaging. Australians have seen
at first hand the immense power that communities, the political system and social institutions have when they are united. If this power is used to address climate change issues by advocating for climate literacy, much progress can be made.
Students Researching 'Problems That Matter' in Their Communities
Authors: Taylor Simon , Zipin Lew , Brennan Marie
Published: July 2020

In this article, the authors argue that curriculum needs to change, bringing school knowledge into greater proximity to community 'problems that matter' (PTMs) and gathering students, community members, teachers and academics with relevant knowledge to work on the problem. Illustrating
this orientation through a collaborative project in a local high school, the authors provide a rationale that links school knowledge with community 'funds of knowledge' – those rich cultural resources that build across family and local-community networks as people apply intelligence
to conditions affecting their lives. PTM curriculum activity thus builds capacities for socialjustice activism, driven by ethical care for the needs and aspirations of people in communities on the horizons of schools. However, despite the good intentions of many who educate in schools, they
are not simply free to take up alternative curriculum practices, even when shown as more socially just, and effective in engaging students and building knowledge abilities useful in their present and future lives. Schools are caught up in power relations that help produce social inequality.
Policies from 'above' press down into school leadership decisions and classroom practices, pushing schools into competition with each other rather than fostering care for local communities. The authors argue that schools owe an ethical duty of care to the communities, especially marginalised
groups, that they are supposed to serve. Supporting young people's agency in collaborative work on meaningful PTMs can give schools impetus to align with better social purposes for curriculum knowledge activity.

Influence of Bisphosphonates on the Behavior of Osteoblasts Seeded Onto Titanium Discs
Authors: Basso Fernanda G. , Pansani Taisa N. , Cardoso Lais M. , Hebling Josimeri , Real Rodrigo Paes Vila , Costa Carlos Alberto de Souza
Published: July 2020

Abstract Among other factors, types of bisphosphonates and treatment regimens seem to be strongly associated with the success or failure of installation of osseointegrated implants. This study investigated the influence of two bisphosphonates, sodium alendronate (SA) and zoledronic acid (ZA), on the metabolism of osteoblasts. Human osteoblasts (Saos-2) were seeded onto machined or acid-treated titanium discs previously placed on 24-well plates in complete culture medium. After 24 h, cells were exposed to bisphosphonates at 0.5, 1 or 5 µM for 24 h, 48 h or 7 days. The effects of SA and ZA on osteoblasts were assessed based on the adhesion of these cells to the titanium surfaces by direct fluorescence, cell viability, total protein and collagen synthesis. Alkaline phosphatase activity and mineral nodule deposition by these cells were also evaluated. Data were evaluated by ANOVA and Tukey tests (α=0.05). Decreased adhesion of cells to the titanium discs was observed when exposed to both bisphosphonates; however, this lack of cell adhesion was more evident for ZA-treated cells. In addition, the exposure of osteoblasts to ZA decreased the viability, ALP activity and mineral nodule deposition, which may be related to poor osseointegration after implant installation.
SALES CAPABILITY AND PERFORMANCE: ROLE OF MARKET ORIENTATION, PERSONAL AND MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES
Authors: RODRIGUES GRAZIELA P. , MARTINS TOMAS S.
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: This article aims to explain the relationships between sales capabilities, which are split into personal selling and sales force management, both from the manager’s point of view, and financial/customer performance in market-oriented firms. Originality/value: This research is the first that explores in-depth sales capabilities and demonstrated that these capabilities need a previous strategic orientation. It checks different types of performance that can be the result of these two capabilities. We applied the research in to two types of companies, providing a number of contributions to the theory and practice of marketing. Design/methodology/approach: We conducted a survey with 223 companies that were divided according to their activities: software/service developers and companies that only offer services in information technology and communication sector. Findings: First, the two sales capabilities (personal and managerial) induce different performance, even when they are influenced by the same strategic orientation. Second, the mediation effect reinforces that sales force management capability is stronger than personal selling capability. Third, in service companies, it is important to develop personal selling capabilities. Lastly, they show that software/service companies present a differentiated behavior of service companies.

ABSTRACT Information about production, crop systems and economic viability for technical grown of plantain are scarce in Brazil. Few technologies developed specifically for plantain are available; thus, there are many adaptations of information on banana crops extrapolated to plantain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth, nutritional status, gas exchanges, water use efficiency and yield of ‘D’Angola’ plantain under different plant densities, in the first production cycle. The treatments consisted of six plant densities (1,111; 2,500; 2,777; 3,125; 3,571; and 4,166 plants ha-1), which were evaluated in a randomized block design with four repetitions. Vegetative growth, leaf nutrient concentrations at the flowering stage, gas exchanges (monthly) at two reading times, fruit yield and water use efficiency at harvest were evaluated. The nutritional status is not dependent on plant density. The vegetative growth varied, regardless of the plant density, whereas the leaf area index increased as the plant density was increased. The leaf temperature increased as the plant density was increased. The water use efficiency for fruit yield, as a function of plant density, fitted to a quadratic model, with the maximum value at 3,301 plants ha-1. The use of 3,333 plants ha-1 is recommended for plantain.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify if structural aspects, previous use of digital technologies, and ways of studying by classroom attendance students interfere with motivation in the use of these technologies in online courses. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out with 713 university students, from May to September 2015, with the use of an evaluation scale for motivational factors regarding the integration of information and communication technologies in education. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis of the data was carried out. Results: Desire to attend online courses interfered with four of the five scale factors. Having a space for studying and the way students reported learning better interfered with intrinsic motivation (p=0.006 and p=0.017, respectively). Conclusion: Predisposition to attend online courses, having an appropriate space to study, and reconciling studies with the use of other websites were positive elements for motivation of students in online courses.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify in the literature the carcinogenic agents found in the work environment, the occupations and the risk for lung cancer. Method: A descriptive and analytical study of the Integrative Literature Review type was carried out in national and international databases from the last ten years in the period from 2009 to 2018, concerning 32 studies referring to association between carcinogenic substances to which the worker is exposed and lung cancer. Results: Nine (28.1%) publications originated in China and only one in Brazil. The most exposed workers were from the secondary sector, 50% being from industry and 6.2% from construction, mostly male. Asbestos and silica stood out among the carcinogenic substances most associated with lung cancer risk, accounting for 37.5% and 28.1%, respectively. Conclusions: The association between occupational exposure and the risk for lung cancer was characterized in this research by the substantial scientific evidence from the described studies that confirm this association.
Cielos australes, tormentas sociales y pestilencias: astronomía y meteorología en el debate parlamentario argentino, 1869-1872

Published: July 2020

Resumen Entre 1869 y 1872 se debatieron los proyectos de creación del Observatorio Nacional Argentino y de la Oficina Meteorológica Argentina. Las propuestas de financiamiento de nuevas instituciones nacionales, así como su articulación con las políticas públicas, estaban atravesadas por conflictos propios de la etapa de construcción del Estado. Oponiéndose a los proyectos elevados al Congreso Nacional, algunos sectores argumentaban recursos escasos. El presidente, Domingo Sarmiento, los acusaba de ser aliados de un gobierno anterior, considerado como “bárbaro”. No obstante, mostraremos que quienes defendían los proyectos, consideraban también inadmisible un gasto elevado, remarcaban que era poco y lograban su aprobación articulando el discurso con políticas entonces en curso que apuntaban a otras inquietudes como la educación, la inmigración y las epidemias.

Abstract Due to the population increase, to the improvement of life conditions, to the elevation of levels of consumption and the growing industrialization of developing countries, it is estimated that the production of concrete will present significant increase in the next decades. The process of producing cement is responsible for approximately 5 % of the emissions of CO2, an expressive environment pollutant. In this context, this work presents an evaluation of the influence of partial substitution of cement by ornamental rock waste (ORW) on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. ORW from a local marble and granite processing company was used. The waste was mineralogically characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) essays, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis, and physically characterized through laser granulometry and specific mass. For this, was adopted a concrete trace as reference, produced with CP V-ARI cement (similar to ASTM Type III), from IPT dosage. Waste was used in proportions of 5 %, 7.5 %, 10 % and 12.5 % of substitution of cement by mass. Results were treated with ANOVA and multiple comparison of means, indicating a possibility of substitution of until 10% of cement by ORW, creating a concrete with proper resistance to Brazilian regulations regarding the classification as structural.
Influence of the cementitious matrix on the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete

Published: July 2020

Abstract One of the main purposes of the addition of fibers to the concrete is the control of the plastic shrinkage cracking in the fresh state and the increase of the post-crack resistance in the hardened state. The cementitious matrix is one of the factors that influences the performance of fiber reinforced concrete, interfering in the fluidity of the mixture and in the adhesion between fiber and matrix. In this context, the present paper evaluates the behavior of two concrete, one of conventional strength and another of high-strength, without fiber and with a content of 1%, by volume, of fiber, being used steel fiber and macro-polymeric fiber. For this, the mechanical properties of the concrete were evaluated in the hardened state by the tests of compressive strength, Barcelona, flexure of prisms and punching of plates. From the experimental results, statistically analyzed, there were significant changes in toughness and residual strength due to change in the cementitious matrix. Finally, an equivalence of performance between the fibers as to the toughness was observed, with the change of the cementitious matrix.

Published: July 2020

Abstract This research work aims to investigate the dynamic structural behaviour and assess the human comfort of footbridges, when subjected to pedestrian walking, based on experimental tests and tuning of finite element model. Therefore, the investigated structure is associated to a real pedestrian footbridge, spanning 24.4m, located at the campus of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Initially, an experimental modal testing was conducted using two data acquisition strategies. After that the experimental forced vibration tests were performed on the footbridge, considering the pedestrians walking with different step frequencies. In sequence of the study, a finite element model was developed based on the ANSYS computational program. The experimental footbridge tests were used for the calibration of results on the numerical model. Finally, a human comfort assessment was performed, based on the comparisons between the results (peak accelerations), of the dynamic experimental monitoring and the recommendations provided by design guides SÉTRA, HIVOSS and AISC.
