Published: September 2017

Organometal halide perovskite materials have shown high potential as light absorbers for photovoltaic applications. In this work, perovskite planar solar cells were fabricated on corning substrates with the structure as follows: the first layer made of tantalum-doped tin oxide as transparent contact material, followed by sputtering niobium-doped titanium oxide as the compact electron transport layer; covered with perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 as the light harvester by combination between spin-coating and dipping methods; CuSCN was evaporated as the hole transport layer; the final thin Al/Ag electrodes were deposited. This configuration is shortly described as Al/TTO/NTO/CH3NH3PbI3/CuSCN/Ag. Such heterojunctions are expected to be suitable for the development of efficient hybrid solar cells. The fabricated cells were measured under the air mass 1.5 illumination condition, showed the rectification effect and exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 0.007%, with a open circuit voltage of 53.2 mV, a short circuit current of 0.36 mA/cm2, and a form factor of 37%. The power conversion efficiency will be further optimized in near future.

Published: September 2017

Mining users’ preference patterns in e-commerce systems is a fertile area for a great many application directions, such as shopping intention analysis, prediction and personalized recommendation. The web page navigation logs contain much potentially useful information, and provide opportunities for understanding the correlation between users’ browsing patterns and what they want to buy. In this article, we propose a web browsing history mining based user preference discovery method for e-commerce systems. First of all, a user-browsing-history-hierarchical-presentationgraph to established to model the web browsing histories of an individual in common e-commerce systems, and secondly an interested web page detection algorithm is designed to extract users’ preference. Finally, a new method called UPSAWBH (User Preference Similarity Calculation Algorithm Based on Web Browsing History), which measure the level of users’ preference similarity on the basis of their web page click patterns, is put forward. In the proposed UPSAWBH, we take two factors into account: 1) the number of shared web page click sequence, and 2) the property of the clicked web page that reflects users’ shopping preference in e-commerce systems. We conduct experiments on real dataset, which is extracted from the server of our self-developed e-commerce system. The results indicate a good effectiveness of the proposed approach.
An Uncertainty Measure for Interval-valued Evidences
Authors: Jiang Wen , Wang Shiyu
Published: September 2017

Interval-valued belief structure (IBS), as an extension of single-valued belief structures in Dempster-Shafer evidence theory, is gradually applied in many fields. An IBS assigns belief degrees to interval numbers rather than precise numbers, thereby it can handle more complex uncertain information. However, how to measure the uncertainty of an IBS is still an open issue. In this paper, a new method based on Deng entropy denoted as UIV is proposed to measure the uncertainty of the IBS. Moreover, it is proved that UIV meets some desirable axiomatic requirements. Numerical examples are shown in the paper to demonstrate the efficiency of UIV by comparing the proposed UIV with existing approaches.

A model of an intrusion-detection system capable of detecting attack in computer networks is described. The model is based on deep learning approach to learn best features of network connections and Memetic algorithm as final classifier for detection of abnormal traffic.One of the problems in intrusion detection systems is large scale of features. Which makes typical methods data mining method were ineffective in this area. Deep learning algorithms succeed in image and video mining which has high dimensionality of features. It seems to use them to solve the large scale of features problem of intrusion detection systems is possible. The model is offered in this paper which tries to use deep learning for detecting best features.An evaluation algorithm is used for produce final classifier that work well in multi density environments.We use NSL-KDD and Kdd99 dataset to evaluate our model, our findings showed 98.11 detection rate. NSL-KDD estimation shows the proposed model has succeeded to classify 92.72% R2L attack group.
Implication of SPARC in the modulation of the extracellular matrix and mitochondrial function in muscle cells v2
Authors: Melouane Aicha , Yoshioka Mayumi , St-Amand Jonny
Published: September 2017

Secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is differentially associated with cell proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly. We show here the effect of exogenous SPARC inhibition/induction on ECM and mitochondrial proteins expression and on the differentiation of C2C12 cells. The cells were cultured in growth medium (GM) supplemented with different experimental conditions. The differentiation of myoblasts was studied for 5 days, the expressions of ECM and mitochondrial proteins were measured and the formation of the myotubes was quantified after exogenous induction/inhibition of SPARC. The results indicate that the addition of recombinant SPARC protein (rSPARC) in cell culture medium increased the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts and myogenin expression during the myotube formation. However, the treatment with antibody specific for SPARC (anti-SPARC) prevented the differentiation and decreased myogenin expression. The induction of SPARC in the proliferating and differentiating C2C12 cells increased collagen 1a1 protein expression, whereas the inhibition decreased it. The effects on fibronectin protein expression were opposite. Furthermore, the addition of rSPARC in C2C12 myoblast increased the expression of mitochondrial proteins, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core proteinII (UQCRC2) and succinate dehydrogenase iron-sulfur subunit (SDHB), whereas the anti-SPARC decreased them. During the differentiation, only the anti-SPARC had the effects on mitochondrial proteins, NADH dehydrogenase ubiquinone 1 beta subcomplex subunit 8 (NADHB8), SDHB and cytochrome c oxidase 1 (MTCO1). Thus, SPARC plays a crucial role in the proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 and may be involved in the link between the ECM remodeling and mitochondrial function.
Térbeli teljesítményértékelés a Közép-Magyarországi régióban

Egy település túlélése nagyban függ az ott befektetett tőkétől, mely tőkét pedig alapvetően saját erőforrásaik megfelelő felhasználásával és fejlesztésével tudják magukhoz vonzani. A V4-es országokra jellemzően, Magyarországon is alapvetően nagyvárosok tudják saját erőforrásaikat úgy fejleszteni, hogy tőkevonzó képessége stabil legyen. A fővárosok közelében ez a tendencia még inkább igaz, melynek mértéke olyan szintű, hogy a konvergencia szint fölé emeli az adott régiókat. Ennek nyomán az a probléma merül fel, hogy számos település olyan pályázati forrástól esik el ami ténylegesen szükséges lenne a fejlődéséhez. Ezért szorgalmazzák jelenleg sokan Pest megye kiválását a Közép-Magyarországi régióból. Tanulmányomban bemutatok egy kutatást, amellyel azt szeretném szemléltetni, hogy ténylegesen mennyivel fejlettebb Budapest a Közép-Magyarországi régió többi településhez képest, ezzel alátámasztva az elszakadás reális tényét.
A vidéki területek helyzete a turizmus tekintetében
Authors: Varga-Nagy Adrienn
Published: September 2017

Napjainkban (és nem csak hazánkban) egyre több területfejlesztési tanulmányban, gazdaságfejlesztési stratégiában kap meghatározó szerepet az idegenforgalomra, a belföldi turizmus különböző típusaira épülő fejlesztési irány. Úgy gondolom, hogy a turizmus az endogén források vizsgálatán keresztül egy-egy térség kiegészítő húzó ágazatává válhat, közvetve és közvetlenül jövőképet teremtve az ott élők számára. Magyarország kiemelten kezelte az elmúlt években a turizmushoz kapcsolódó tervezési és fejlesztési feladatokat, legtöbbször olyan hátrányos területeken is, ahol valószínűleg nem számíthatnak jelentősebb számú turisztikai forgalomra. Annak ellenére, hogy az ország kedvező turisztikai adottságokkal rendelkezik, úgy gondolom, nem minden térségben adottak az alapvető feltételek az ilyen irányú fejlesztésekhez, hiszen a természeti adottságok mellett fontos a gazdasági, infrastrukturális és humán feltételek optimális megléte. Ezért fontos vizsgálni minden térség esetében a fejlesztési stratégia prioritásainak irányait, benne a turizmus lehetőségét is.

Strategic rewards - a case based study
Authors: Gupta Sakshi , Sharma Amit
Published: September 2017

Talent has won ’The war for talent’. The war is caused by the continuously increasing demandsupply gap for skilled workforce. Consequently, organizations face difficulty in attracting and retaining talent. Talent market is highly dynamic, since new disciplines of knowledge and skills are continuously emerging due to explosive growth of knowledge. It is resulting in rapidly changing technology and preferences and priorities of workforce in the midst of shortages. This necessitates appropriate reward system but in practice very few organizations offer attractive value proposition to their workforce. Most organizations still adhere to the conventional reward system. The traditional Rewards Management assumes money, and cash components to be the strongest motivator and the best performance incentives for employees. Higher wages/rewards have a close association with efficiency/productivity and employee turnover rates. Neo-classicists postulate equality between wages and the marginal product of labor. Higher-wages help in facing short supply of talent. Neo-classicists argue that the ’Total Factor Productivity (TFP)/Multi-factor Productivity (MFP)’ depends on investment in human capital; education and skills are the drivers of productivity of labor. It implies that the companies, especially service providers, which use manpower as the pivot, should particularly invest in human capital. This study also considers rewards as the main driver of high performance; so the companies should focus on satisfying the needs of all the employees by balancing extrinsic and intrinsic values; which is based on strategic reward system. Further, the Rewards Strategy, Business Strategy and external environment should be aligned to ensure sustainable results. Outcomes tend to diverge from desired goals if business and rewards strategy are not well aligned. ’Strategic Rewards System’ does not emerge in one go it evolves if the above conditions are satisfied. Therefore, the study traces the historical evolution of ’Strategic Rewards System’ by review of literature. This furnishes the rationale for the case study based on a Small Medium Enterprise; it provides evidence for the choice of the “Strategic Rewards System” by the organization under study. The case study assesses the relation of reward strategy with the organizational performance. The study concludes that a well-designed and a well-executed Strategic Rewards System reverses employee turnover and improves performance without a lofty budget.

A földértékelésre vonatkozóan nincs egységes módszer használatban az Európai Unióban, értékelési mód és cél szerint különbözik. Ez problémát jelent a termőföld közgazdasági értékének és árának meghatározásában is. Kutatásunk során két uniós tagállam, Németország és Franciaország földértékelési és –minősítési rendszerét vizsgáltuk. Véleményünk szerint az ismertetett eljárások bizonyos elemei hasznosak lehetnek a hazai föld értékelési rendszer korszerűsítése során. A földértékelési rendszereken túl a termőföld piaci árát alakító közgazdasági tényezőket és a Németországban, illetve Franciaországban kialakult piaci árakat, valamint az azokat befolyásoló tényezőket is elemeztük.
A városszétfolyás megakadályozásának jelentősége a területfejlesztésben
Authors: Topa Zoltán
Published: September 2017

A városszétfolyás egy jellegzetes „betegség” az Egyesült Államokban, és bár Európában kevésbé jellemző, itt is vannak rá példák. Komoly problémákat vonz maga után: környezeti, egészségügyi, pénzügyi és várostervezési kihívásokat, amelyeket muszáj kezelni, illetve megelőzni. Erre számos módszert ismer a szakirodalom, jelen tanulmány kettőt mutat be ezek közül: a kompakt város és a lassú város modelleket. Mindkét modell eltér a hagyományos városmodellektől, és egyik sem hoz biztos megoldást. Azonban mindkettőre igaz, hogy megfelelő tervezés mellett racionalizálhatják és javíthatják egy város működését.

Comparing Markov Chain Samplers for Molecular Simulation
Authors: Skeel Robert D. , Fang Youhan
Published: September 2017

Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling propagators, including numerical integrators for stochastic dynamics, are central to the calculation of thermodynamic quantities and determination of structure for molecular systems. Efficiency is paramount, and to a great extent, this is determined by the integrated autocorrelation time (IAcT). This quantity varies depending on the observable that is being estimated. It is suggested that it is the maximum of the IAcT over all observables that is the relevant metric. Reviewed here is a method for estimating this quantity. For reversible propagators (which are those that satisfy detailed balance), the maximum IAcT is determined by the spectral gap in the forward transfer operator, but for irreversible propagators, the maximum IAcT can be far less than or greater than what might be inferred from the spectral gap. This is consistent with recent theoretical results (not to mention past practical experience) suggesting that irreversible propagators generally perform better if not much better than reversible ones. Typical irreversible propagators involve a parameter controlling the mix of ballistic and diffusive movement. To gain insight into the effect of the damping parameter for Langevin dynamics, its optimal value is obtained here for a multidimensional quadratic potential energy function.
Trends in the Sustainability Reporting in Italian LGOs: Better Stick or Carrot?
Authors: Giacomini Davide , Mazzoleni Mario , Rocca Laura , Carini Cristian
Published: September 2017

The role of public-sector organizations (PSOs) for promoting the agenda of sustainability accounting and accountability is often not adequately considered [1]. In the public sector universe, Local Governments are close to their communities and thus have a particularly important role to play in the pursuit of sustainability goals [2,3]. Hence, further research is still needed to understand if Local Governments Organizations (LGOs) are still using reporting tools to promote sustainable development. The empirical data show that the Sustainability Report (SR) is not having the spread assumed in the past years; over time, the great majority of Italian Municipalities does not continue or embark on a path of sustainability reporting. The findings suggest the fashion of SR in Italy is falling and it seems that the SR tool is a “mere trend reporting based on descriptive indicators leads to decreasing interest from internal and external audiences” [4]. The carrot is unsuccessful; maybe the mandatory requirements could be a stick?
µ-Conotoxins Modulating Sodium Currents in Pain Perception and Transmission
Authors: Tosti Elisabetta , Boni Raffaele , Gallo Alessandra
Published: September 2017

The Conus genus includes around 500 species of marine mollusks with a peculiar production of venomous peptides known as conotoxins (CTX). Each species is able to produce up to 200 different biological active peptides. Common structure of CTX is the low number of aminoacids stabilized by disulfide bridges and post-translational modifications that give rise to different isoforms. µ and µ-O CTX are two isoforms that specifically target voltage-gated sodium channels. These, by inducing the entrance of sodium ions in the cell, modulate the neuronal excitability by depolarizing plasma membrane and propagating the action potential. Hyperxcitability and mutations of sodium channels are responsible for perception and transmission of inflammatory and neuropathic pain states. In this review, we describe the current knowledge of µ-CTX interacting with the different sodium channels subtypes, the mechanism of action and their potential therapeutic use as analgesic compounds in the clinical management of pain conditions.
Insights into the Diagnostic Potential of Extracellular Vesicles and their miRNA Signature from Liquid Biopsy as Early Biomarkers of Diabetic Micro/Macrovascular Complications
Authors: La Marca Valeria , Fierabracci Alessandra
Published: September 2017

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a heterogeneous population of small vesicles, consisting of a phospholipidic bilayer surrounding a soluble interior cargo. Almost all cell types release EVs, thus they are naturally present in all body fluids. Among the several potential applications, EVs could be used as drug delivery vehicles in disease treatment, in immune therapy because of their immunomodulatory properties and in regenerative medicine. In addition to general markers, EVs are characterized by the presence of specific biomarkers (proteins, miRNAs) that allow the identification of their cell- or tissue-origin. For these features, they represent a potential powerful diagnostic tool to monitor state and progression of specific diseases. As regards, a large body of studies supports the idea that endothelial derived (EMPs) together with platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by micro- and macrovascular damages, including diabetes. Existing literature suggests that the detection of circulating EMPs and PMPs and their specific miRNA profile may represent a very useful non-invasive signature to achieve informations about the onset of peculiar disease manifestations. In this Review, we discuss the possible utility of EVs in the early diagnosis of diabetes-associated microvascular complications, specifically related to kidney.
Flow Field and Energy Dissipation of Stepped Spillways with Different Horizontal Face Angles
Authors: Bai Zhaoliang , Zhou Maolin , Wang Yurong , Wang Wei
Published: September 2017

Energy dissipation is one of the most important factors in choosing stepped spillways. However, few studies are about energy dissipation with different horizontal face angles. In this paper, the realizable k-ε turbulence model was used to study the flow field and energy dissipation rates of different stepped spillways with five horizontal face angles in the skimming flow regions. It shows that the free water surfaces and energy dissipation rates change with horizontal face angles and the energy dissipation rates initially decrease and then increase as the horizontal face angle increases. And the horizontal face angles cause the great changes of flow field.
Extended Dynamical Equations of the Period Vectors of Crystals under Constant External Stress to Many-body Interactions
Authors: Liu Gang
Published: September 2017

Since crystals are made of periodic structures in space, determining their three independent period vectors in theory (starting from any values) is a basic physics problem. For the general situation where crystals are under constant external stress, we derived dynamical equations of the period vectors in the framework of Newtonian dynamics, for pair potentials recently (doi:/10.1139/cjp-2014-0518). The derived dynamical equations show that the period vectors are driven by the imbalance between the internal and external stresses. This presents a physical process where when the external stress changes, the crystal structure changes accordingly, because the original internal stress can not balance the external stress. The internal stress has both a full kinetic energy term and a full interaction term. It is analyzed again with many-body potentials in this paper. As a result, all conclusions in the pair-potential case also apply for many-body potentials.

Published: September 2017

Rice is currently the most important food crop in the world and we are only just beginning to study the bacterial associated microbiome. It is of importance to perform screenings of the core rice microbiota and also to develop new plant-microbe models and simplified communities for increasing our understanding about the formation and function of its microbiome. In order to begin to address this aspect, we have performed the isolation of hundreds bacterial isolates obtained from endorhizosphere of two rice cultivars from Venezuela. The validation of plant-growth promoting bacterial activities in vitro has led us to select and characterize 15 isolates for in planta studies such as germination test, endophytism ability and plant growth promotion. Consequently, a set of 10 isolates was selected for the set-up of an endophytic consortium as a simplified model of the natural rice bacterial endomicrobiota. Upon inoculation, the colonization and abundance of each strain within the rice roots was tracked by a culture-independent technique in gnotobiotic conditions in a 30 days period. Four strains belonging to Pseudomonas, Agrobacterium and Delftia genera have shown a promising capacity for colonizing and coexistence in root tissues. On the other hand, a bacterial community taxonomic profiling of the rhizosphere and the endorhizosphere of both cultivars were obtained and are discussed. This study is part of a growing body of research on core crops microbiome and simplified microbiomes, which strengthens the formation process of the endophytic community leading to a better understanding of the rice microbiome.

Published: September 2017

A partir de uma judicialização da saúde em ordem crescente e de tantas críticas à atuação do Poder Judiciário, busca-se analisar a jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal entre o período de 2013-2014, a fim de identificar as modalidades de judicialização da saúde, que perpassa pela análise das características das decisões nesses casos. Com esse intuito, responde-se à problemática: quais são as modalidades de judicialização da saúde encontradas na jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal no período de 2013 a 2014? O método utilizado consiste no hipotético-dedutivo, o que faz este trabalho ser dividido em 3 momentos:  o estudo da judicialização da saúde, as modalidades encontradas na doutrina e, por fim, a identificação das modalidades existentes na jurisprudência do Supremo. Chega-se à conclusão de que as modalidades encontradas frente à jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal são a “atomizada” e a “burocratizadora”, conforme a classificação de Bergallo e propõe-se outras modalidade, como a “democrática”, a “interventiva”, a “concretizadora”, a “politizada” e a “secundária”.

Por que ter tribunais administrativos?
Authors: Cane Peter
Published: September 2017

Este artigo apresenta o conceito de "justiça administrativa", que ultimamente tem se tornado cada vez mais popular no mundo anglófono da common law. Dessa forma, explora o que tal conceito pode significar quando aplicado aos tribunais administrativos (administrative tribunals). Nos sistemas jurídicos inglês e australiano, os tribunais oferecem alternativas às cortes (courts) para a revisão das decisões administrativas. O artigo centra-se particularmente na Austrália, que tem um sistema altamente desenvolvido de tribunais administrativos, e onde as cortes podem rever as decisões administrativas no que concerne à sua "legalidade", enquanto que os tribunais revisam o mérito dessas decisões. Tal distinção entre legalidade e mérito tem várias implicações para a compreensão de como os tribunais prestam "justiça" e que espécie de justiça é oferecida. Na Austrália, os tribunais são valorizados porque propiciam uma versão particular de justiça administrativa diversa daquela oferecida pelas cortes, o que se reflete em parte na forma pela qual operam os tribunais.

Não só quando constituídos sob a forma de associação pública, pessoa jurídica de direito público, como também na forma de pessoa jurídica de direito privado, defende-se a possibilidade de lhes conferir poder de polícia administrativa como ferramenta fundamental para a atividade fiscalizatória dos consórcios, e, consequentemente, imprescindível para constituí-los como meio de promoção da sustentabilidade.
Globalization and convergence in judicial review: what can we learn from the case of Brazil?
Authors: Jordão Eduardo
Published: September 2017

This paper offers one way to verify the existence of dominant convergence trends in the market of legal ideas. By looking through the history of judicial review in Brazil, it aims to sketch some intuitions on the changing influences that can be spotted in such market. Being a peripheral jurisdiction and a traditional importer of legal ideas and doctrines, Brazil is relatively open to foreign influences and international trends. It is, in this sense, a good proxy of any domination occasionally being exerted. Thus, paying attention to the evolution of judicial review in Brazil can be a way to identify global developments.

MENILIK PEREMPUAN SEBAGAI SOCIAL CLIMBER DALAM PANDANGAN EKONOMI ISLAM
Authors: Nurudin Nurudin , Muyassarah Muyassarah
Published: September 2017

Social climber is described as a person who is eager to gain a higher social status in his or her society. In the globalization era, many women show off their styles that are not in accordance with their belongings. Those who look glamorous do not pay attention to the Islamic economic value. Therefore how women restrict the future generations not to be excessive in appearing their performance to avoid undesirable social and psychological impacts. Principally, Islam does not justify social climber because in Islamic economics istishod is recognized as the balance between the world and the hereafter which is in line with the Islamic economic goal namely al-falah. It means a balanced luck between the world and the hereafter. But it does not mean showing off glamorous behaviour in the world as such so it causes jealousy among the surrounding environment and induces criminals to commit crime such as theft, robbery and others. Social climber is also regarded as isrof means extravagance. Islamic economics forbids people to live extra­vagant­ly and miserly regardless of its impact because Islamic economics advocate simple life.

_________________________________________________________
Social climber digambarkan sebagai seseorang yang ingin men­dapatkan status sosial yang lebih tinggi di sekitarnya. Dalam kondisi zaman globalisasi banyak perempuan yang bergaya pamer tidak sesuai dengan kondisi materi yang dimilikinya. Mereka yang ber­penampilan glamor tidak memperhatikan nilai-nilai ekonomi Islam. Oleh karena itu bagaimana para perempuan membatasi agar generasi-generasi mendatang tidak berlebihan dalam berpenampil­an untuk menghindari dampak sosial dan psikologi yg tidak diingin­kan. Pada prinsipnya, Islam tidak membenarkan social climber karena di dalam ekonomi Islam dikenal istilah istishod yakni ke­seimbangan antara dunia dan akhirat yang sejalan dengan tujuan ekonomi Islam yang disebut al-falah. Artinya keberuntungan yang seimbang antara dunia dan akhirat, jangan hanya untung dunia yang justru pamer atau berperilaku glamor yang menyebabkan kecemburuan lingkungan sekitar dan mengundang penjahat me­laku­kan kejahatan misalnya pencurian, perampokan dan lain-lain. Social climber juga termasuk isrof yakni pemborosan. Ekonomi Islam melarang hidup boros berfoya-foya dan kikir tanpa memperhatikan dampaknya karena ekonomi Islam menganjurkan hidup sederhana.

Published: September 2017

No debate do historiador com o seu tempo a temática ambiental se faz cada vez mais presente, e, dentro desta, a temática relativa à água, seus usos em diferentes épocas e em diferentes sociedades, certamente se constitui em um tema de grande relevância. Desta forma, neste texto se propõe uma análise prospectiva do abastecimento hídrico da cidade de Nossa Senhora do Desterro (atual Florianópolis) no século XIX, com destaque aos aspectos materiais e culturais das relações estabelecidas entre os habitantes da cidade e suas águas. Como fontes são utilizados documentos oficiais, como relatórios de Presidente da Província, atas e ofícios da Câmara Municipal de Florianópolis, bem como o Código de Posturas Municipais, de modo a perceber como o poder público, através de leis, regulamentos e decretos, procurava normatizar esses usos e o acesso ao recurso. Busca-se, sob o viés da História Ambiental, atentar para relação dos sujeitos com o mundo natural que os circunda, e, sobretudo, para os usos do recurso natural hídrico, considerando o lugar e o papel que o meio ambiente ocupa nas transformações sociais determinadas historicamente. A presente abordagem historiográfica, sem deixar de considerar uma realidade de mau uso do recurso hídrico, buscou observar os demais aspectos das condições históricas do uso e do gerenciamento deste recurso natural na cidade de Desterro, evidenciando sociabilidades, conflitos, gestos e sensibilidades, entre outras questões relacionadas ao tema.
