Antimicrobial activity of essential oils from Lippia alba, Lippia sidoides, Cymbopogon citrates, Plectranthus amboinicus, and Cinnamomum zeylanicum against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Authors: Mota Aquiles Paulino Peres , Dantas João Carlos Pinheiro , Frota Cristiane Cunha
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT: The rise in cases of antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis has become a major obstacle to the effective control of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. Essential oils (EO) are complex mixtures that may contain between 20 and 60 components, with two or three major compounds at relatively high concentrations (20-70%) that are responsible for their pharmacological properties. The objective of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the EOs, bushy lippia (Lippia alba), rosemary pepper (Lippia sidoides), lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), Mexican mint or Indian borage (Plectranthus amboinicus), and true cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Chemical characterization of the EOs was performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by the microdilution-based resazurin microtiter assay. Four EOs were able to inhibit the growth of M. tuberculosis, with MICs of 286.5±130.2μg/mL (C. zeylanicum), 299.5±117.2μg/mL (L. sidoides), 351.6±39.06μg/mL (P. amboinicus), and 1,250μg/mL (C. citratus). Only the EO of L. alba showed no antimycobacterial activity at the tested concentrations, with an MIC greater than 1,250µg/mL. Results of this study suggested that C. zeylanicum, L. sidoides, and P. amboinicus could be important sources of bactericidal compounds against M. tuberculosis and require further investigation. The activity against M. tuberculosis of these three EOs has not been reported previously. The results show the high potential of the tested antimycobacterial EOs, making them a promising alternative for TB treatment. This data also confirms the importance of bioprospecting studies for active substances with antimycobacterial activity, which are still scarce.

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CF) is associated with mortality and the development of cardiovascular disease, in addition to being related to work capacity. Objectives: This study aimed to verify the demographic, cardiometabolic and behavioral factors associated with CF in a representative sample of professors from a public university in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which evaluated, in addition to the CF, age, sex, glycemia, triglycerides, LDL and HDL cholesterol, C-reactive protein, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and physical activity (PA). The association between CF and cardiometabolic risk factors was estimated by logistic regression to obtain the odds ratios and respective confidence intervals (95%). Results: After adjustment, it was observed that professors with lower levels of CF were older, female, had higher BMI and a greater chance of being physically inactive. Conclusion: In general, the results show that the probability of low CF increases with the increase in BMI, in addition to the strong association with PA practice, which is a major focus of intervention measures aimed at improving workers health and their work capacity.

WORKPLACE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAM: AN INTERVENTION PROPOSAL
Authors: Laux Rafael Cunha , Corazza Sara Teresinha , Andrade Alexandro
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT Contemporary workstations have been transformed by technological advances, meaning that employees are less physically active. Physical exercise programs are a tool to combat this sedentary lifestyle and prevent possible work-related illnesses. The aim of this study consisted of drafting an intervention proposal through physical exercise - the Workplace Physical Activity Program / WPAP - to be applied in the workplace, covering physical, mental and social aspects. The trial was methodologically structured in three stages: a) contextualization of the WPAP; b) implementation of the program; and c) the intervention proposal. It is believed that this type of program should receive investments, as it has a quick return and effectively improves the health of workers. Level of Evidence V; Expert opinion.

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT This paper analyzed the process of convergence in the gross value of wood production in mesoregions of Northeast Brazil, in the period of 1994 and 2013. The object of study was the Gross Value of Production (GVP) of firewood per km2 of the mesoregions of the Northeast of Brazil. In the methodology the Absolute Convergence Model was applied and estimated through the classical model and spatial models. In the spatial approach we used the Spatial Autoregressive Model (SAR) and the Spatial Error Model (SEM). From the results obtained, the following conclusions were reached: The mesoregions of the Northeast of Brazil had an average fall of 3.94% a.a. of the GVP/km2 of native wood for the period 1994 to 2013. Considering the classical linear regression model, convergence was verified and also the presence of spatial dependence for GVP/km2 of firewood. In order to correct the spatial dependence, the SAR and SEM Models were adequate and according to Akaike's Information Criterion and used the rook matrix the SEM was configured the best model. This study showed the importance of the involvement of the spatial question in the models, either by the overlap of information of the GVP and in the development of public policies that positively affect the neighborhood.

Published: July 2018

Abstract A growing body of evidence indicates that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. However, to date, no studies have been conducted to quantitatively summarize and evaluate the consistency of data. Objective: To quantitatively evaluate the relationship of SLE and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) with cognitive dysfunction and dementia. Methods: All relevant literature was retrieved from Pubmed, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases. The meta-analysis was performed using effect estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to calculate pooled risk estimates. The heterogeneity among studies was also examined. Results: The meta-analysis included 11 original studies involving a total of 81,668 patients with dementia and 407 patients with cognitive dysfunction. There were significant associations on fixed-effect models between SLE and dementia (3 studies; RR=1.50; 95% CI=1.37-1.64), SLE and cognitive dysfunction (4 studies; OR=2.97; 95% CI=1.72-5.15), and aPL and cognitive dysfunction (5 studies, OR=1.97; 95% CI=1.55-2.52). We also combined cognitive dysfunction and dementia outcomes as they both represented cognitive impairment. There were significant associations between aPL and cognitive impairment (6 studies; OR=2.03; 95% CI=1.62-2.55), and SLE and cognitive impairment (7 studies; OR=1.83; 95% CI=1.42-2.35). Moderate heterogeneity (I2=45.7%) was found in the association between SLE and cognitive impairment, low heterogeneity (I2=21.8%) in the association between SLE and dementia, and near zero heterogeneity for the other three main analyses. Conclusion: Both SLE and aPL are associated with cognitive impairment.
Qualitative analysis and identification of pattern of errors in Clock Drawing Tests of community-dwelling older adults
Authors: Spenciere Barbara , Mendes-Santos Liana Chaves , Borges-Lima Christina , Charchat-Fichman Helenice
Published: July 2018

Abstract The Clock Drawing Test (CDT) is a frequently employed screening tool with different scoring systems. Quantitative and semi-quantitative scoring systems, such as Sunderland’s et al. (1989), do not discriminate different error patterns. Thus, the same score can represent a number of different neuropsychological profiles. Therefore, the use of a scoring method that emphasizes qualitative aspects to determine specific error patterns is fundamental. Objective: To use a qualitative scale to analyze error patterns in the CDTs of older adults who scored 5 in a previous study. Methods: 49 CDTs with score of 5 were analyzed using the qualitative scale. Linear regression and hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analyses were performed. Results: The linear regression showed a significant association between the total score and all the error patterns of the qualitative scale. The hierarchical cluster yielded three groups. However, due to the heterogeneity observed among the groups, a non-hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to better understand the results. Three groups were determined with different neuropsychological profiles and patterns of errors. Conclusion: The qualitative scoring of the CDT is important when examining and analyzing specific neuropsychological domains in older adults, especially executive functions.
A EFICÁCIA DO CRÉDITO COMO CANAL DE TRANSMISSÃO DA POLÍTICA MONETÁRIA NO BRASIL: ESTRATÉGIA DE IDENTIFICAÇÃO DA OFERTA E DEMANDA DE CRÉDITO
Authors: Evangelista Thamirys Figueredo , Araújo Eliane Cristina de
Published: July 2018

RESUMO O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar evidências empíricas a respeito da eficácia do crédito como canal de transmissão de política monetária no Brasil para o período de 2002 a 2012, no qual a proporção do crédito em relação ao PIB cresceu substancialmente. Para cumprir o propósito da pesquisa foram estimados diferentes modelos VAR e foram analisadas as funções impulso-resposta e a decomposição da variância dos erros. A estratégia de identificação da demanda e da oferta de crédito foi por meio de choques no volume real de crédito e na taxa de juros de mercado, respectivamente. Os resultados indicaram a existência do canal do crédito bancário. Desse modo, é aconselhável que as autoridades monetárias deem maior atenção aos efeitos da política monetária sobre o nível da taxa de juros de mercado, uma vez que o efeito da política monetária sobre esta potencializa a resposta da economia real.
Mobilization of energetic substrates in the endangered catfish Steindachneridion parahybae (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae): changes in annual reproductive cycle in captivity

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT This study aimed at analyzing the energetic substrate (ES) in the main storage tissues of Steindachneridion parahybae, throughout the reproductive cycle in captivity. Differently from wild, in captivity, feeding is not interrupted during the reproductive period, the females do not spawn spontaneously, and they are sedentary. Adult females were sampled monthly and based on their histology and gonadosomatic index (GSI), ovaries were classified into: previtellogenic (PRV), vitellogenic (VTG), and regression (REG) stages. Ovaries at the VTG stage showed higher protein and lipids levels than at the PRV stage with a positive correlation between these substrates and the GSI. Muscle was the main source of proteins transferred to the ovaries, according to the negative correlation between these organs. Lipids remained unchanged in the liver, which is an important supplier in vitellogenesis, a pattern that probably occurs due to the continuous feeding. Muscular glycogen levels were higher at the VTG and REG than at the PRV stages. Plasma triglycerides were also higher during REG, while glucose levels were more elevated during the VTG stage. These results suggest that with constant food supply, the pattern of deposition of ES in S. parahybae is different from that described for other wild potamodromous species.
Contributions to the systematic of Pimelodidae (Osteichthyes, Siluriformes): basic and molecular cytogenetics on seven species of Pimelodus from three Brazilian hydrographic systems
Authors: Girardi Simone C. , Pavanelli Carla S. , Margarido Vladimir P.
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT Pimelodidae harbors several species and is widely distributed throughout the Neotropical region. Pimelodus is the genus with the largest number of species, however it is a polyphyletic group. Cytogenetic analyzes of the valid species still covers less than half of them. Herein, seven Pimelodus species from three Brazilian hydrographic systems were analyzed through basic (Giemsa, AgNORs and C banding) and molecular (5S and 18S rDNA-FISH) cytogenetic methods. All species had 2n=56 chromosomes with different karyotype formulas observed among the species. AgNORs were corresponding to 18S rDNA and localized on long arm of one chromosome pair in all species. Heterochromatin distribution follows the pattern commonly verified in the family and allows to identify each one of the studied species. 5S rDNA marker was interspecifically variable in number and position of cistrons. Pimelodus ortmanni had B chromosomes varying intra and inter-individually. We performed a discussion on our own and available cytogenetic data for Pimelodidae, and the associating of them with available phylogeny enable us identifying features that distinguish subgroups within Pimelodidae, such as NORs location (terminal/long arm for species belonging to “Iheringichthys-Parapimelodus” and “Pimelodus maculatus” subclades) and location of 5S rDNA sites (pericentromeric/interstitial/ long arm for species belonging to Pimelodus group).
Pluralismo, neocorporativismo e o sindicalismo dos agricultores familiares no Brasil
Authors: Picolotto Everton Lazzaretti
Published: July 2018

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é analisar o processo de formação da Federação dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura Familiar (Fetraf) na área de atuação tradicional da Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura (Contag) e a situação de pluralidade sindical gerada. O sindicalismo rural brasileiro foi criado na década de 1960 e, desde a sua formação, conviveu com uma tensão entre os diversos grupos sociais que formaram a categoria trabalhador rural. Nessa categoria foram enquadradas as categorias que viviam do trabalho, tais como assalariados, pequenos proprietários, posseiros, sem-terra. Desde o processo de redemocratização, este sistema de representação sindical foi questionado com a formação de diversos novos atores no campo. Porém, foi com a criação da Fetraf, em 2001, como órgão específico dos agricultores familiares, que passou a se formar uma situação de pluralismo sindical no campo. Esta situação tem gerado uma forte concorrência por legitimidade e por bases sindicais.

Published: July 2018

Resumo Explorar o tema da educação inclusiva requer que discutamos a formação de professores e de seus formadores no que tange às práticas e significações sobre a diversidade humana. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a formação e as práticas de docentes universitários, atuantes em cursos de licenciatura, no que se refere aos pressupostos inclusivos. Para tanto foram analisadas, por meio da abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa descrita por González Rey, as respostas ao instrumento de autopreenchimento aplicados em 26 professores atuantes nos cursos de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas, Química e Física de duas universidades públicas federais. Em geral, os dados nos mostram que a formação dos formadores é pouca ou nenhuma no que se refere à inclusão escolar e à aprendizagem de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais. As barreiras atitudinais também puderam ser notadas em parte das respostas, demonstrando que esse é um problema que está longe de ser ultrapassado e configura um entrave para o sucesso do processo inclusivo. Além desses fatores, foi evidente que existe pouco apoio institucional e que as condições de inclusão nas universidades participantes ainda precisam de grandes mudanças para a efetivação desse processo. Entendemos que os resultados poderão subsidiar e ampliar a discussão da área de formação de professores, contribuindo, também, para (re)pensarmos as práticas docentes nos espaços envolvidos.
Solving Multiclass Learning Problems via Error-Correcting Output Codes
Authors: Dietterich T. G. , Bakiri G.
Published: July 2018

Multiclass learning problems involve finding a definitionfor an unknown function f(x) whose range is a discrete setcontaining k > 2 values (i.e., k ``classes''). Thedefinition is acquired by studying collections of training examples ofthe form [x_i, f (x_i)]. Existing approaches tomulticlass learning problems include direct application of multiclassalgorithms such as the decision-tree algorithms C4.5 and CART,application of binary concept learning algorithms to learn individualbinary functions for each of the k classes, and application ofbinary concept learning algorithms with distributed outputrepresentations. This paper compares these three approaches to a newtechnique in which error-correcting codes are employed as adistributed output representation. We show that these outputrepresentations improve the generalization performance of both C4.5and backpropagation on a wide range of multiclass learning tasks. Wealso demonstrate that this approach is robust with respect to changesin the size of the training sample, the assignment of distributedrepresentations to particular classes, and the application ofoverfitting avoidance techniques such as decision-tree pruning.Finally, we show that---like the other methods---the error-correctingcode technique can provide reliable class probability estimates.Taken together, these results demonstrate that error-correcting outputcodes provide a general-purpose method for improving the performanceof inductive learning programs on multiclass problems.
Flaw Selection Strategies for Partial-Order Planning
Authors: Pollack M. E. , Joslin D. , Paolucci M.
Published: July 2018

Several recent studies have compared the relative efficiency of alternative flaw selection strategies for partial-order causal link (POCL) planning. We review this literature, and present new experimental results that generalize the earlier work and explain some of the discrepancies in it. In particular, we describe the Least-Cost Flaw Repair (LCFR) strategy developed and analyzed by Joslin and Pollack (1994), and compare it with other strategies, including Gerevini and Schubert's (1996) ZLIFO strategy. LCFR and ZLIFO make very different, and apparently conflicting claims about the most effective way to reduce search-space size in POCL planning. We resolve this conflict, arguing that much of the benefit that Gerevini and Schubert ascribe to the LIFO component of their ZLIFO strategy is better attributed to other causes. We show that for many problems, a strategy that combines least-cost flaw selection with the delay of separable threats will be effective in reducing search-space size, and will do so without excessive computational overhead. Although such a strategy thus provides a good default, we also show that certain domain characteristics may reduce its effectiveness.
Pattern Matching and Discourse Processing in Information Extraction from Japanese Text
Authors: Kitani T. , Eriguchi Y. , Hara M.
Published: July 2018

Information extraction is the task of automaticallypicking up information of interest from an unconstrained text. Informationof interest is usually extracted in two steps. First, sentence level processing locates relevant pieces of information scatteredthroughout the text; second, discourse processing merges coreferential information to generate the output. In the first step, pieces of information are locally identified without recognizing any relationships among them. A key word search or simple patternsearch can achieve this purpose. The second step requires deeperknowledge in order to understand relationships among separately identified pieces of information. Previous information extraction systems focused on the first step, partly because they were not required to link up each piece of information with other pieces. To link the extracted pieces of information and map them onto a structuredoutput format, complex discourse processing is essential. This paperreports on a Japanese information extraction system that merges information using a pattern matcher and discourse processor. Evaluationresults show a high level of system performance which approaches human performance.

Published: July 2018

O gerenciamento de projetos faz parte do cotidiano das pessoas e suas técnicas foram utilizadas em grandes feitos para que os objetivos traçados fossem alcançados com mais eficiência e, consequentemente, menos desperdício de recursos humanos, financeiros e materiais. No entanto, apenas na década de 90, o setor público começou a introduzir o gerenciamento de projetos como ferramenta de gestão estratégica e, no Corpo de Bombeiros Militar de Minas Gerais (CBMMG), mais recentemente, em 2010. Assim, esse estudo teve como objetivo verificar o grau de maturidade em gerenciamento de projetos da organização, comparar os resultados alcançados com o de organizações privadas brasileiras e comparar a prática de gerenciamento de projetos do CBMMG em relação a outras organizações militares estaduais que compõe o eixo da segurança pública. Os resultados alcançados servem como baliza para reflexão, amadurecimento organizacional e um guia que auxiliará a corporação a marchar rumo ao futuro sem perder a cadência.

Published: July 2018

There appeared to be no study in the
extant literature that compared a student’s school satisfaction with that of
his/her parent. This study aimed to bridge this literature gap, drawing on data
from a merged dataset of a student survey and a parent survey that were
conducted in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in 2013, involving 6,111 grade 5-12
public school students and their parents. The differences in school
satisfaction between a student and his/her parent were examined through a
paired analysis. The results showed that while student school satisfaction was
highly correlated with parent school satisfaction, there was a statistically
significant difference between a student and his/her parent in their ratings of
school satisfaction, especially concerning the issues of school safety and
parent involvement. Schools were reminded to factor in the potential
differences in the opinions of different stakeholders in their stakeholder
communication and school improvement effort.

Enemigo Suelo: Manzano Rewrites Cuban Romanticism
Authors: Price Rachel
Published: July 2018

Este artículo rescata, desde la esclavitud, un contradiscurso del romanticismo. Se enfoca en cómo la poesía de Juan Francisco Manzano, escritor cubano y ex-esclavo, reescribe el afecto típico del romanticismo cubano. Para Manzano, es la esclavitud la que se interpone entre los amantes y la que engendra, lejos de una patria anhelada desde afuera, la fantasía de escaparse de la isla y de los terrores asociados con el terreno cubano. Por ende, este ensayo reflexiona más detenidamente sobre la figura - poética, jurídica y ecológica - del “suelo” en varias obras. En particular, se compara un poema de José María Heredia de 1835 con otro de Manzano, publicado en 1838, en el que éste parece retomar y resignificar unas palabras del primero:la frase de Heredia “Huyamos pues, este suelo delicioso” deviene en Manzano “Huyamos pues, ... nuestro enemigo suelo”. Como conclusión, el ensayo destaca las implicaciones de tal reescritura para repensar la ecología y el afecto durante el apogeo de la esclavitud cubana.

Mito y feminismo en Marassá y la nada de Alanna Lockward
Authors: Maríñez Sophie
Published: July 2018

En la novela Marassá y la Nada (2013), la escritora dominicana Alanna Lockward realiza algo insólito en la tradición literaria dominicana: adentrarse en la geografía y cultura haitiana totalmente desprovista de prejuicios. El título, que evoca la figura de Marassá, los Gemelos Divinos del panteón vudú haitiano, sugiere un concepto de hermandad que, al verse reforzado por una visión feminista y decolonial, se presta para una interpretación de esta figura como una propuesta de relación entre Haití y República Dominicana que se aparta de los modelos de antagonismo y “conflicto fatal” que permean los debates sobre la dinámica entre ambas naciones. Al contrario, la figura de Marassá propone una síntesis de mitos occidentales y africanos y ofrece un modelo basado en la mutua dependencia, solidaridad y fraternidad.
El tratado médico-culinario como género de ficción en la narrativa hispanoamericana actual: Héctor Abad Faciolince y Mayra Santos-Febres
Authors: Climent-Espino Rafael
Published: July 2018

Este ensayo ofrece, tomando como marco teórico la llamada gastrocrítica, un recorrido historicista por los tratados médico-culinarios clásicos y medievales para analizar la influencia de éstos en Tratado de culinaria para mujeres tristes de Héctor Abad Faciolince y en Tratado de medicina natural para hombres melancólicos de Mayra Santos-Febres. Se sitúa así a ambos escritores como evocadores o imitadores de la tradición secular del tratadismo médico y culinario haciendo énfasis en la necesidad de poner en relación periodos aparentemente inconexos para un análisis literario más provechoso. Palabras clave: gastrocrítica, tratadismo culinario, novela hispanoamericana  Using the theoretical framework of gastrocriticism, this essay traces a historicist route through classic and medieval medical-culinary treatises to analyze their influence on Héctor Abad Faciolince’s Tratado de culinaria para mujeres tristes and Mayra Santos-Febres’ Tratado de medicina natural para hombres melancólicos. Both writers evoke or imitate the secular tradition of medical and culinary treatises; an analysis of these contemporary authors through the lens of works from an earlier era emphasizes the possibilities for literary criticism that identifies intersections of thought across various periods.  Keywords: gastrocriticism, culinary treatises, Spanish American novel
Sentimental Objects: Nostalgia and the Child in Cinema of the Spanish Memory Boom
Authors: Thomas Sarah
Published: July 2018

This article explores how two films from the so-called Spanish “memory boom” represent their child protagonists via a certain “anxiety of influence” in relation to their cinematic forebear El espíritu de la colmena  (Erice, 1973 ). It argues that, despite their intertextual connection, these two more recent films differ from Erice’s in terms of their representation of childhood, making use of the child as an instrument of didacticism and nostalgia. In so doing, they offer an image of the child instrumentalized as object, rather than fully realized as subject.
Death as Volition: Suicide in the Early Azorín
Authors: Wood David W.
Published: July 2018

La muerte en Azorín es una constante desde sus primeros relatos de fines del siglo XIX hasta sus obras más maduras de la década de los cuarenta. Este artículo analiza el suicidio en Buscapiés  (1894 ), Bohemia  (1897 ) y Diario de un enfermo  (1901). Con la publicación de La voluntad  en 1902 , los personajes desmuestran una voluntad insuficiente para suicidarse. En cambio, los personajes en obras anteriores manifiestan su determinación para escapar de situaciones insoportables por medio del suicidio. Demuestro que el suicidio es consecuencia de una decisión desesperada y de un conflicto entre palabras, escritura y existencia al que se enfrentan los protagonistasescritores de Bohemia  y Diario de un enfermo . En el caso del político de Buscapiés  consituye asimismo una clara condena del gobierno español de la Restauración.
O feminino e a música católica: entre práticas e representações * The feminine and the catholic music: between practices and representations
Authors: Duarte Fernando Lacerda Simões
Published: July 2018

Efeminado e feminino foram expressões recorrentes em documentos e escritos teológicos que procuraram disciplinar as práticas musicais na Igreja Católica Romana, caracterizando a degeneração do caráter por meio da música. Busca-se compreender neste trabalho as raízes desta representação, bem como a presença ou ausência feminina nas práticas musicais no Brasil. Os dados obtidos em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental foram analisados a partir dos referenciais de memória e identidade em Joël Candau, bem como de práticas e representações, em Roger Chartier. Os resultados apontam para tentativas de silenciamento do feminino na música religiosa literal e simbolicamente. Por outro lado, a presença de mulheres nas práticas musicais no Brasil foi recorrente, conforme revelam documentos musicais recolhidos a diversos acervos.

Authors: Nascimento Francisco Elionardo De Melo
Published: July 2018

Este artigo busca descrever e analisar a trajetória das transformações da travestilidade de Renata contribuindo também para a reflexão sobre violência e exclusão social das travestis. Trata-se da narrativa das transformações corporal de um menino que nos seus primeiros anos de vida passa a inscrever aspectos femininos em seu corpo com o intuito da formação de sua travestilidade. A narrativa foi confeccionada a partir do relato biográfico de Renata e organizada de acordo com a concepção de narrativa biográfica que visa apresentar uma experiência singular/real ancorada em aspectos culturais. As discussões e análises estão pautadas na performatividade de aspectos femininos no corpo e subjetividade da travesti e nas violências sofridas no decorrer das transformações de sua travestilidade.
Os feminismos emergentes na década de 70 no Brasil * The emerging feminisms in the 1970s in Brazil
Authors: Silva Cleonice Elias da
Published: July 2018

Este artigo apresenta algumas questões referentes à segunda onda dos feminismos no Brasil. No primeiro momento, será abordado o “feminismo branco”. Em outro, a trajetória intelectual e de militância de Lélia Gonzalez, figura importante do “feminismo negro” no Brasil. As reflexões desta são complementadas por algumas premissas desenvolvidas por feministas negras norte-americanas tais como: Patricia Hill Collins, Angela Davis e bell hooks. Em suma, tento demostrar que o feminismo branco e o feminismo negro possuem especificidades que acabam por distanciá-los.
Dança, música e poesia nas marcas de roda do Fandango
Authors: Tessaro Andréa José Grandini , Meira Roberta Barros
Published: July 2018

As marcas do fandango são danças compostas por diversas coreografias, conhecidas como modas. O fandango valsado é dançado pelos pares, que giram pelo salão em sentido anti-horário e o batido é dançado exclusivamente pelos homens, que sapateiam com o auxílio de tamancos feitos de madeira. Devemos pensar que por possuir características repentistas e letras que apresentam variações e particularidades em cada local onde é tocado, o fandango é vivo e circulante e agrega ainda a dança e a linguagem poética própria do caboclo e do caiçara, e entrar em contato com as letras e melodias do fandango é captar a sensibilidade de homens e mulheres que escrevem a própria história a partir de suas vivências. Desta forma, procuramos analisar algumas melodias do fandango, que trazem a vivência e a convivência cotidianas como um patrimônio que se transmite pela música e pela dança, e verificar como essa manifestação cultural vem sofrendo alterações e recebendo influências com o passar do tempo.
Veil or Evil? Spotlighting Women Portrayal through Semiotics Analysis
Authors: Fata Ika Apriani
Published: July 2018

The phenomenon of woman and man portrayal have been merely discussed world wide. Many viewpoints such as: media, politics, health, cultural studies, gender concerned on this topic. However, only a few of them was trying to seek out the language features attributed for women representation. Accordingly, to fill in this gap, this research aims at describing semiotical sign analysis of woman portrayal in media. A number of four corpus of Serambi Indonesia were analyzed based on two signification semiotics interpretations by Barthes (1967). The result eventually revealed that the language features attributed for women in the newspaper are woman as animal, as properties, as trigger of sins, as peaceful guard,  those are considered as terms of denotative signification meaning. Meanwhile, the connotative meaning divided into two understandings; veil and evil, introducing positive and negative representation towards women. Finally it is expected that for further studies involve systemic functional linguistics or corpus linguistics towards other discourses as media to further develop the conclusions drawn from this present study.Keywords:  Woman; Aceh; Semiotics; Portrayal

Published: July 2018

The purpose of the study was to determine some constitutional features of the histological structure of the human knee menisci. Material and methods. Internal and external menisci of both knee joints of 84 corpses of men aged from 32 to 55 years were studied. After a standard fixation of the biological material, meniscus sections were prepared at the level of their anterior and posterior horns, and of the body. Then pre-stained hematoxylin-eosin prepared histological specimens were subjected to a survey microscopy, description and morphometry of the cuts of knee joint meniscus specimens. For the individualizing the revealed features, anthropometric research was carried out with all the investigated objects, followed by self-typing using the W.L.Rees-N.J.Eysenck method. Results. As a result of the study, the presence of age-specific features of the histological structure of the meniscus was established. In addition, it is proved that menisci of knee joints of men of picnic type of constitution, in contrast to representatives of other types of physique, are subject to structural changes in the histological pattern at the level of the hindbust. For men of asthenic type of physique, such changes at the level of the anterior horn of the meniscus are characteristic in comparison with other sites of the meniscus. Conclusion. Traumatologists and sports physicians can use the revealed features of the histological structure of meniscus knee joints in men of different body types at the stages of diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the knee joints, as well as in the development of measures to prevent the development of destructive changes in them. In addition, research data may influence the choice of certain rehabilitation exercises that help strengthen specific areas of the ligamentous apparatus of the knee joints of patients who have damaged menisci.
Assessing global competence in PISA 2018: Challenges and approaches to capturing a complex construct
Authors: Sälzer Christine , Roczen Nina
Published: July 2018

International large-scale assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) yield comparative indicators of student achievement in various competence domains. This article focuses on global competence as a suggested cross-curricular domain for the PISA 2018
study. The measurement of global competence is related to a number of challenges, which are elaborated, described and discussed. As these challenges have so far not been sufficiently targeted, Germany, among several other countries, has decided not to assess global competence in the upcoming
PISA cycle. In conclusion, propositions are made regarding viable options to capture global competence in international comparative studies so that established quality standards can be met.

design was applied using the documentary method of analysis to identify implicit knowledge structures. Second, the central findings, particularly three reconstructed types of learning experiences – concretization, generalization, dissociation – are presented and illustrated by
extracts from the empirical data. Third, the discussion of the results reveals the limits of global learning from child sponsoring.
A Fault Detection Technique for Variable-speed Wind Turbines Using Vibrations and Electrical Measurements
Authors: Bossio J. M. , Bossio G. R. , De Angelo C. H.
Published: July 2018

A technique for detecting faults in variable speed wind turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generators is proposed. The proposal consist on sampling and process vibration signals at constant position intervals, in order to obtain a speed independent vibration spectrum. The angular position information is obtained using a reduced order observer which allows estimating rotor position using voltage and current measurements, without the need of a position sensor. The estimated position is used for resampling vibration signals at constant position intervals with a high number of samples per revolution. Experimental results including a rotor imbalance fault are presented to validate the proposal.
