The palato-radicular groove: In diagnosis, think easy first
Authors: Ramachandra SS , Malhotra N , Choudhary S
Published: June 2017

Palato-radicular grooves (PRGs) are developmental anomalies of maxillary incisors that are a site for plaque accumulation and periodontal infection, contributing to localized periodontitis. Here a case of PRG that was initially thought to be root fracture or cemento-dentinal tear is presented, along with a discussion of the importance of a systematic approach to diagnosis.

Published: June 2017

Increased life expectancy in persons with Down syndrome (DS) is associated with premature age-related changes. The aim of this study was to assess auditory function in adults with DS and to evaluate the prevalence of hearing loss in this population. Audiometric tests were performed in 72 adults with DS (mean age 37.3±10.1 years, 51.4% females). Air conduction pure tone average (PTA) thresholds at frequencies 0.5-1-2-4 kHz were calculated to assess hearing function. Hearing loss was present if the PTA threshold was > 20 dB hearing level. Higher frequencies of 4 and 8 kHz were also assessed. Hearing loss was shown in 47 (65.3%) participants. The prevalence of hearing loss increased with age, ranging from 42.86% in the 20-29 years group to 90.91% in the 50-59 years group. High frequencies (4 and 8 kHz) were more often impaired than other frequencies used to measure PTA. Thus, the study concluded hearing loss is common in adults with DS and shows a pattern compatible with precocious aging of the hearing system. Auditory evaluation is strongly recommended in adults with DS.
What lies beneath: Fabric and embodiment in Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In
Authors: Davies Cath
Published: June 2017

This article investigates discourses about fabric and embodiment in Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In (2011). The aim of the study is to consider how the film’s narrative and mise-en-scène positions fabric as an expression of corporeal vulnerability and subjectivity. Drawing primarily on Warwick and Cavallero’s notion of ‘permeable boundaries’, in the relationship between clothing and bodies, this article argues that Almodovar has interwoven motifs of somatic integrity and dissolution in relation to skin, textiles and film. This investigation proposes that The Skin I Live In offers a compelling interplay of surfaces that is a valuable resource to reflect further on the symbiotic connections between corporeal materiality and fabric.
El objetivo de equidad y el criterio de proporcionalidad en las instituciones hidráulicas valencianas (siglos XVI-XIX)
Authors: Peris-Albentosa Tomás
Published: June 2017

En las últimas décadas se ha generalizado el uso de los conceptos equidad y proporcionalidad, aplicado al análisis de sistemas hidráulicos en general y a los valencianos en particular, pero de tal manera que resulta difícil atribuirles un significado unívoco. Se mantiene cierta ambigüedad que debe ser resuelta ¿Qué entendemos por proporcionalidad? ¿A qué elementos del manejo del agua se aplica? ¿Cuál de las acepciones del vocablo equidad debemos emplear en cada caso?: ¿imparcialidad?, ¿justicia comunitaria legitimadora?, ¿igualdad?, etc.En las páginas que siguen se trata de ofrecer una panorámica que ayude a clarificar cuáles han sido las connotaciones de estos términos -y de la noción que subyace implícita- desde tiempos medievales hasta las conceptualizaciones que figuran en los textos comienzos del siglo xx. En dicho seguimiento diacrónico, se intenta probar la existencia de influencias y nexos entre autores; también desvelar el efecto producido por diversas preconcepciones ideológicas. Con ello se pretende, además, poner de relieve que existen sutiles análisis institucionales, elaborados mucho antes de que cuajara la Nueva Economía Institucional, que merecen ser desempolvados, ya que permiten una percepción precisa de las complejas entidades hidráulicas comunitarias que funcionaron en el litoral mediterráneo, logrando altos niveles de cohesión social, así como notables grados de eficiencia agrícola, hídrica y organizativa.
Dossier Fin y resistencia de la teoría: Las operaciones de la a–crítica
Authors: Topuzian Marcelo
Published: June 2017

El trabajo revisa las modalidades actuales de las relaciones entre teoría literaria y crítica. Parte de una revisión histórica de los vínculos y disidencias entre teoría y estudios culturales, para analizar luego los modos de inserción de aquella en la investigación literaria del presente. Frente a este racconto se revisa también la historia de la teoría en tanto conceptualización de la especificación de la literatura (y del arte) a partir de la idea de un medio absolutamente propio, y su compromiso con una ontología que privilegia el acceso a los textos como lectura. Un repaso de los cuestionamientos de Jacques Rancière al supuesto modernismo de la inestética de Alain Badiou permite revisar el estatuto de la crítica en el estudio de la literatura y proponer un panorama de los impulsos «a–críticos» en las humanidades contemporáneas, que incluye la rehabilitación del afecto, de los datos cuantitativos y la «larga duración», el trabajo sobre los nuevos medios y, sobre todo, una exploración de las posibles con­ secuencias en este campo de un reciente «giro realista» en el pensamiento contemporáneo.
What factors influence the utilisation of all doses of vaccines with subsequent doses for under-five children in Ghana?
Authors: Immurana Mustapha , Urmi Arabi
Published: June 2017

Pneumonia, Diarrhoea, Measles, Polio and Whooping Cough are major killers of children in the world. However, one of the most effective ways of preventing these diseases is through utilising completely their respective vaccines which are normally administered in doses. Therefore given that the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) report showed a fall in the coverage of the subsequent doses of the Pentavalent, Pneumococcal, Polio and Rotavirus vaccines for children in Ghana, this study investigated the factors that influence the Utilisation of all Doses of these vaccines as well as the Measles vaccine. Using Data from the 2014 GDHS and employing the binary probit model, the study among other findings revealed that, children from the Eastern, Northern and Western regions were found to be less probable to have received all the doses of the Polio and Pentavalent vaccines. Also unemployed mothers were found to be less likely to demand for all the doses of the Measles, Pentavalent, Pneumococcal and Rotavirus vaccines for their children. Moreover, rising age of the household head was associated with falling utilization of all the doses of the Pneumococcal, Pentavalent and Polio vaccines for children. Furthermore, children with single mothers were found to be less likely to have received all doses of both the Polio and Pentavalent vaccines. Also uneducated mothers were found to be less likely to demand for all the doses of the Polio, Pentavalent and Measles vaccines for their children relative to mothers with secondary education. In addition mothers without health insurance were found to be less likely to utilize all the doses of the Measles and Polio vaccines for their children. Therefore reinvigoration of regional centeredness of child health utilization drives, aiding single, unemployed and uneducated women as well as strengthening the free maternal health insurance registration scheme, could be effective tools in ensuring full utilisation of all doses of these vaccines.
ESTADO ECOLÓGICO DE ALGUNOS HUMEDALES COLOMBIANOS EN LOS ÚLTIMOS 15 AÑOS: UNA EVALUACIÓN PROSPECTIVA
Authors: Rodríguez Juan Pablo , Karim Senhadji-Navarro Karim , Ruiz Ochoa Mauricio Andres
Published: June 2017

Los humedales desempeñan un papel fundamental desde una perspectiva ecológica y socioeconómica. Contrario a la idea ya obsoleta de lugares insalubres y de poca productividad, hoy son considerados ecosistemas estratégicos, amortiguadores de crecientes, sitios especiales de conservación de biota y cruciales por los servicios ecosistémicos que prestan. Partiendo de una revisión bibliográfica referente al estado ecológico de los humedales en Colombia en los últimos 15 años, se analizó cuáles son los factores, problemáticas e impactos más frecuentes y comunes que se presentan en 29 humedales colombianos. Se aplicó una metodología prospectiva, mediante el software MICMAC®, con el fin de conocer y priorizar los factores que son más sensibles a la transformación del ecosistema y sobre los cuales habría que tomar acciones de mitigación, preservación y/o conservación. Se encontró que los procesos urbanísticos son un factor de alto impacto en el deterioro del humedal. Se pudo comprobar la potencialidad y robustez del software MICMAC® como herramienta de análisis prospectivo, lo cual podría ser usado por las autoridades ambientales para mejorar la toma de decisiones respecto a qué hacer, cómo actuar y qué esperar de los factores y problemáticas que se presentan en los humedales.
Massification et inegalites du système éducatif de la République de Djibouti. Les desillusions de la Grande Réforme de 1999

Desde finales de los años 1980, el sistema educativo yibutí atraviesa una crisis. No alcanzó los objetivos en cuanto a la formación del apprenants.es. La salida de esta crisis se hace por una reforma; ésta constituye un momento importante de reflexión para el sector de la educación. Pero más que un medio de negociación entre el gobierno y los diferentes acteurs.es, fue una imposición del primer personaje del Estado, Presidente de la República. El programa escolar cambió, pero aspectos como la formación inicial del enseignants.es, órganos de gestión de las escuelas y la participación de las madres y padres no han sido mejorados. Las lenguas maternas no enseñan. La creación de la escuela yibutíense se quedó un eslogan político.
Efectos de Metáfora e Historia de la Educación
Authors: Pagés Anna
Published: June 2017

Este artículo expone el problema de la enseñanza de la Historia de la Educación en una época de crisis discursiva, debilidad hermenéutica y hegemonía de la cultura instrumental. Tres nociones básicas fundamentan este trabajo inicial: efectos de metáfora, genealogía y archivo. Conocer el pasado implica en primer lugar interrogarse por su existencia en el ahora. Hace falta deshacer el hilo de una tradición incompleta y parcial, múltiple y plural para producir efectos de metáfora en el discurso educativo sobre la Historia. Siguiendo las indicaciones de Lacan, Foucault, Blumenberg y Gadamer presentamos una experiencia de enseñanza de la Historia de la Educación con alumnos en primer año de formación de maestros.
Does Flywheel Paradigm Training Improve Muscle Volume and Force? A Meta-Analysis

Published: June 2017

Núñez Sanchez, FJ and Sáez de Villarreal, E. Does flywheel paradigm training improve muscle volume and force? A meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 31(11): 3177–3186, 2017—Several studies have confirmed the efficacy of flywheel paradigm training for improving or benefiting muscle volume and force. A meta-analysis of 13 studies with a total of 18 effect sizes was performed to analyse the role of various factors on the effectiveness of flywheel paradigm training. The following inclusion criteria were employed for the analysis: (a) randomized studies; (b) high validity and reliability instruments; (c) published in a high quality peer-reviewed journal; (d) healthy participants; (e) studies where the eccentric programme were described; and (f) studies where increases in muscle volume and force were measured before and after training. Increases in muscle volume and force were noted through the use of flywheel systems during short periods of training. The increase in muscle mass appears was not influenced by the existence of eccentric overload during the exercise. The increase in force was significantly higher with the existence of eccentric overload during the exercise. The responses identified in this analysis are essential and should be considered by strength and conditioning professionals regarding the most appropriate dose response trends for flywheel paradigm systems to optimize the increase in muscle volume and force.

Pojskic, H, Sisic, N, Separovic, V, and Sekulic, D. Association between conditioning capacities and shooting performance in professional basketball players: an analysis of stationary and dynamic shooting skills. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 1981–1992, 2018—Little is known about the influence of conditioning capacities on shooting performance in basketball. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between different conditioning capacities and shooting performance in professional basketball players. In this investigation, we examined 38 males (all perimeter players; height: 185.5 ± 6.73 cm; mass: 78.66 ± 10.35 kg). Conditioning capacities were evaluated by tests of muscular strength, aerobic endurance, jumping and throwing capacities, sprinting speed, preplanned agility, anaerobic endurance, and fatigue resistance. Shooting performance was evaluated using game statistics, as well as 6 tests of shooting performance performed in controlled settings: (a) 3 tests of static (i.e., nonfatigued) shooting performance (standardized execution of 1- [S1], 2- [S2] and 3-point shots [S3] in stationary conditions), and (b) 3 tests of dynamic (i.e., fatigued) shooting performance (standardized execution of 1- [D1], 2- (D2), and 3-point shots [D3] in dynamic conditions). All 3 dynamic shooting tests and the S1 test were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) correlated with corresponding game statistics. Multiple regression indicated that conditioning capacities were significantly related to D1 (R
2 = 0.36; p = 0.03), D2 (R
2 = 0.44; p = 0.03), S3 (R
2 = 0.41; p = 0.02), and D3 (R
2 = 0.39; p = 0.03) tests. Players with a higher fatigue resistance achieved better results on the D1 test (β = −0.37, p = 0.03). Preplanned agility (β = −0.33, p = 0.04), countermovement jump (β = 0.42, p = 0.03), and fatigue resistance (β = −0.37, p = 0.02) were significant predictors of D2 performance. The countermovement jump (β = 0.39, p = 0.04), medicine ball toss (β = 0.34, p = 0.04), and anaerobic endurance (β = 0.46, p = 0.04) predicted the results of D3 performance. Jumping, throwing, and anaerobic endurance capacities were good determinants of the skill of dynamic shooting over a long distance. These findings emphasize the importance of explosive power and anaerobic capacity as determinants of shooting performance in high-level basketball players.

AGILITY IS A KEY FEATURE WITHIN MANY STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAMS, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATHLETE'S PHYSICAL AND TECHNICAL QUALITIES BEING THE PRIMARY FOCUS TO INCREASE PERFORMANCE. HOWEVER, THIS APPROACH IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED AS TRUE RETENTION AND TRANSFER OF PERFORMANCE FROM TRAINING TO SPORT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED UNLESS COACHES DEVELOP AN ATHLETE'S ABILITY TO IDENTIFY RELEVANT STIMULI AND LEARN TO ADAPT MOVEMENT IN RESPONSE TO VARYING CONSTRAINTS. THE PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE ARE TO DISCUSS THE CONSTRAINTS ACTING ON THE ATHLETE AND PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF HOW THESE CAN BE MANIPULATED TO ENHANCE INFORMATION-MOVEMENT COUPLING DURING TRAINING TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL AGILITY PERFORMANCE.
Megaloads and Mobilization
Authors: Grosse Corrie
Published: June 2017

From 2011 to 2014 fossil fuel corporations trucked tar sands processing machinery along rural Idaho highways. The machinery was bound for the world's largest deposits of tar or oil sands, a heavy crude oil substance called bitumen, located in the western Canadian province of Alberta. These loads of machinery, what became known as megaloads, encountered much resistance. Throughout Idaho and the surrounding region, a network organized opposition. Neighbors, grassroots organizations, nonprofits, and the Nez Perce and other tribes all collaborated. They held information sessions, protested, waged legal battles, monitored the loads, and blockaded highways. What oil companies hoped would be a cost-effective solution for transporting their megaloads became a David versus Goliath, Coyote versus the Monster—to reference the Nez Perce creation story—struggle to protect rural and indigenous ways of life and sovereignty, and the planet.

Published: June 2017

The abundant, nuclear‐retained, metastasis‐associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been associated with a poorly differentiated and aggressive phenotype of mammary carcinomas. This long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) localizes to nuclear speckles, where it interacts with a subset of splicing factors and modulates their activity. In this study, we demonstrate that oncogenic splicing factor SRSF1 bridges MALAT1 to mutant p53 and ID4 proteins in breast cancer cells. Mutant p53 and ID4 delocalize MALAT1 from nuclear speckles and favor its association with chromatin. This enables aberrant recruitment of MALAT1 on VEGFA pre‐mRNA and modulation of VEGFA isoforms expression. Interestingly, VEGFA‐dependent expression signatures associate with ID4 expression specifically in basal‐like breast cancers carrying TP53 mutations. Our results highlight a key role for MALAT1 in control of VEGFA isoforms expression in breast cancer cells expressing gain‐of‐function mutant p53 and ID4 proteins.
Caenorhabditis elegans CES-1 Snail Represses pig-1 MELK Expression To Control Asymmetric Cell Division
Authors: Wei Hai , Yan Bo , Gagneur Julien , Conradt Barbara
Published: June 2017

Snail-like transcription factors affect stem cell function through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. In the Caenorhabditis elegans neurosecretory motor neuron (NSM) neuroblast lineage, CES-1 Snail coordinates cell cycle progression and cell polarity to ensure the asymmetric division of the NSM neuroblast and the generation of two daughter cells of different sizes and fates. We have previously shown that CES-1 Snail controls cell cycle progression by repressing the expression of cdc-25.2 CDC25. However, the mechanism through which CES-1 Snail affects cell polarity has been elusive. Here, we systematically searched for direct targets of CES-1 Snail by genome-wide profiling of CES-1 Snail binding sites and identified >3000 potential CES-1 Snail target genes, including pig-1, the ortholog of the oncogene maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK). Furthermore, we show that CES-1 Snail represses pig-1 MELK transcription in the NSM neuroblast lineage and that pig-1 MELK acts downstream of ces-1 Snail to cause the NSM neuroblast to divide asymmetrically by size and along the correct cell division axis. Based on our results we propose that by regulating the expression of the MELK gene, Snail-like transcription factors affect the ability of stem cells to divide asymmetrically and, hence, to self-renew. Furthermore, we speculate that the deregulation of MELK contributes to tumorigenesis by causing cells that normally divide asymmetrically to divide symmetrically instead.

Arribada y explotación de la tortuga golfina en la Playa Escobilla, Oaxaca, México
Authors: Cervantes-Hernández Pedro , Pérez-Vives Eduardo , Gómez-Ponce Mario Alejandro
Published: June 2017

Desde 1959, en el Pacífico mexicano, la explotación de Lepidochelys olivacea no se ha evaluado y en la Playa Escobilla, la temporada de arribada está parcialmente documentada. Los temas mencionados fueron analizados con los métodos recomendados en la bibliografía (análisis de la mortalidad y series de tiempo) y para ello, se usó una base de datos de captura total de enero del año 1978 a mayo del año 1990. Se encontraron tendencias netas descendentes en la abundancia de machos y hembras, concluyendo que esta población fue sobreexplotada en el período en estudio. La mortalidad natural fue muy baja en comparación con la mortalidad por pesca, y esta última afectó a ambos sexos con la misma intensidad. Una temporada completa de arribada se delimitó de agosto a enero, con el máximo de abundancia en noviembre. Con base en la bibliografía se encontró que en el Golfo de Tehuantepec (GT), la temporada de arribada transcurrió al mismo tiempo que la temporada reproductiva del camarón café Farfantepenaeus californiensis (de julio a febrero, con máximo desove entre octubre y noviembre). En el GT la temporada de pesca del recurso camarón es de septiembre/octubre a marzo/abril, abarcando completamente la temporada de arribada. La acción conjunta de las pesquerías de tortugas marinas (aquí explicada) y del recurso camarón provocó la sobreexplotación de L. olivacea. La pesquería del recurso camarón hizo de L. olivacea una especie común en la fauna de acompañamiento; por esta razón, antes y en el presente, los excluidores continúan utilizándose.
The Roots of “Penal Populism”: the Role of Media and Politics

Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVES:

To evaluate the association between head growth (HG) during neonatal and postdischarge periods and neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm neonates of <29 weeks gestational age.

METHODS:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of infants <29 weeks gestational age admitted between 2009 and 2011 to participating Canadian Neonatal Network units and followed by Canadian Neonatal Follow-Up Network clinics. Differences in head circumference (ΔHC) z score were calculated for 3 time periods, which include admission to discharge, discharge to follow-up at 16-36 months, and admission to follow-up. These were categorized in 1 reference group (ΔHC z score between −1 and +1) and 4 study groups (ΔHC z score of <−2, between −2 to −1, +1 to +2, and >+2). Neurodevelopmental outcomes were compared with the reference group.

RESULTS:

1973 infants met the inclusion criteria. Poor HG occurred frequently during the NICU admission (ΔHC z score <−2 in 24% infants versus 2% infants post-discharge) with a period of “catch-up” growth postdischarge. Significant neurodevelopmental impairment was higher in infants with the poorest HG from admission to follow-up (adjusted odds ratio 2.18, 95% confidence interval 1.50–3.15), specifically cognitive and motor delays. Infants with poor initial HG and catch-up postdischarge have a lower adjusted odds ratio of significant neurodevelopmental impairment (0.35, 95% CI 0.16–0.74). Infants with poor HG received a longer duration of parenteral nutrition and mechanical ventilation and had poor weight gain.

CONCLUSIONS:

Poor HG during the neonatal and postdischarge periods was associated with motor and cognitive delays at 16 to 36 months.
Identidades y memorias en Londres 38, Paine y Chacabuco (Chile)
Authors: Ochoa Sotomayor Gloria Alejandra
Published: June 2017

Este artículo estudia la relación entre identidad y memoria, entendida esta última en una doble dimensión: como continuadora de identidad y como constructora de identidad. Desde esta perspectiva, el texto indaga la relación identidad-memoria en cuatro organizaciones que denuncian la violación de los derechos humanos y el terrorismo de Estado en Chile luego del golpe militar de 1973. Se analiza la relación entre la manifestación pasada de estos grupos y su expresión presente y la identidad, que se define como una sutura y un posicionamiento estratégico que permite historizar las expresiones de memoria y reflexionar respecto a ellas más allá de una aproximación contingente. A través de la memoria militante de Londres 38, la memoria campesina de Memorial Paine y la comunidad hecha memoria en el caso de Chacabuco, se postula la doble dimensión que se mencionó y se explica cómo esta permite entender las distintas aproximaciones a un hecho aceptado por las organizaciones analizadas. Así, sus características y sus particularidades, su acción y su devenir llevan a reconocer las diferencias, manifestaciones y posibilidades de estas organizaciones para mantenerse en el espacio de las narrativas sociales sobre el pasado y el presente y, principalmente, sobre las identidades de las que son expresión. Por ello, en este trabajo se señala la relevancia de reconocer la doble dimensión de la memoria. Al mismo tiempo, invita a reflexionar e indagar sobre la relación identidad-memoria mayormente aceptada y acerca de la manifestación de esta en el espacio discursivo de los nuevos contextos sociales en los que se produce y a los que cada grupo debe hacer frente.
La memoria social: una herramienta de la justicia transicional en Chile y Corea del Sur
Authors: Rios Oyola Sandra Milena
Published: June 2017

El artículo explora los conceptos de memoria social, cultural y colectiva y examina cómo las políticas de la memoria implementadas en la justicia transicional y las narrativas de la memoria social, fruto de las comisiones de la verdad, llevan a la deslegitimación de regímenes autoritarios y al empoderamiento y participación cívica de grupos marginados en los casos de Corea del Sur y de Chile. En Corea del Sur, la memoria de la víctima-héroeha servido para deslegitimar el régimen antidemocrático anterior, pero no ha logrado superar la polarización política existente. Mientras que, en Chile, la memoria de los abusos en contra de los derechos humanos ha deslegitimado la dictadura y ha fundamentado la acción de un movimiento político de izquierda, pero no ha logrado conectar de manera exitosa las violaciones de los derechos humanos del pasado con las actuales. El artículo se basa en los resultados del proyecto interdisciplinar “El impacto de los mecanismos de justiciatransicional en la construcción de instituciones democráticas”. Se utiliza una metodología cualitativa de comparación internacional de estudios de caso, a través del análisis secundario de datos, entrevistas y visitas de campo. Teniendo en cuenta los mecanismossociales y culturales que participan en la construcción de la memoria social, se concluye que el recuerdo de eventos atroces como práctica social se da casi de manera espontánea, pero su incorporación en políticas oficiales de justicia transicional requiere esfuerzos concertados y de la participación de grupos portadores de memoria (carrier groups) en la esfera pública. Por lo tanto, es necesario entender cómo se dan estos procesos de construcción de memoria social y en qué medida contribuyen a la transformación social necesaria para el fortalecimiento de la democracia en sociedades transicionales. Además, el artículo hace algunas recomendaciones que pueden tomarse para el caso colombiano.

Análise de colaborações entre governo e ONGs e da densidade de ONGs no Brasil
Authors: Costa Marcelo Marchesini da
Published: June 2017

Esta pesquisa analisa os efeitos da densidade de organizações sem fins lucrativos (ONGs) e da colaboração entre governo e ONGs no desenvolvimento humano e na desigualdade de renda no Brasil. Estudos de governança afirmam que a colaboração do governo com ONGs leva a melhores resultados sociais. Esta pesquisa testa essa hipótese em 5.562 municípios brasileiros usando modelos lineares e espaciais. Análises espaciais permitem a identificação de efeitos específicos ocorrendo em diferentes regiões. A taxa de convênios entre o governo federal e ONGs em cada município brasileiro está associada a uma diminuição da desigualdade de renda, porém está também associada a uma significativa queda do nível de desenvolvimento humano. A densidade de ONGs de diferentes áreas de atividade apresenta diversas relações com desenvolvimento humano e desigualdade. Esses resultados permitem uma análise mais realista de arranjos de governança, considerando seus impactos nas comunidades e as realidades locais.
INTEGRAÇÃO ESPACIAL DOS MERCADOS EXPORTADORES DE MEL NATURAL NO BRASIL

Published: June 2017

RESUMO A análise de integração de mercados reveste-se de importância para o desenvolvimento econômico de um país. Em face dessa relevância e do papel desempenhado pelo mel natural na economia brasileira, torna-se fundamental compreender como ocorre a integração desse produto nos principais estados brasileiros exportadores. Neste sentido, o estudo buscou investigar o processo de integração espacial entre os principais mercados brasileiros exportadores de mel natural: Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Piauí, Ceará e São Paulo. Utilizaram-se dados mensais obtidos por meio da base de dados do Ministério de Desenvolvimento, Indústria e Comércio Exterior (MDIC) para o período de janeiro de 2002 a julho de 2011. Para investigar as relações entre esses mercados, fez-se uso dos métodos empregados em séries temporais, como os testes de raiz unitária e de cointegração de Johansen, análise do modelo vetorial de correção de erro e teste de exogeneidade. Os resultados indicaram a presença de cointegração entre os mercados brasileiros exportadores de mel natural. No entanto, com base no teste sobre o coeficiente de relacionamento de longo prazo, verificou-se que a Lei do Preço Único não foi totalmente confirmada, já que se rejeitou a hipótese nula de perfeita integração espacial entre esses mercados. Ademais, o teste de exogeneidade fraca indica que o mercado de mel natural do Rio Grande do Sul atua como mercado central na formação de preços.
TRUST AND MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM: A STUDY ON META-SINTHETIC INTERACTIONS
Authors: Vaz Patricia Villa Costa , Espejo Márcia Maria dos Santos Bortolocci
Published: June 2017

ABSTRACT Management accounting has been associated to the institutionalization of trust inside organizations. Trust allows the implementation of systems which grant freedom to choose without trying to process more information about the world than it ought to be done. (TOMKINS, 2001). Regarding such aspects, this paper questions: how have previous studies been relating trust and Management Control Systems (MCS) towards reaching organizational objectives? To achieve this, we object to examine the role of trust in Management Control System, and its relation with organizational objectives, according to Hoon’s (2014) methodology, which allow the construction of a theory based on primary case studies. On developing the methodology four causal networks have been examined on selected studies: institutions, Management Control Systems, trust and organizational objectives. The institutions represent the effective background of the case studies, specially as a series of habits, rules, routines and procedures; the approaches regarding management control systems include budget and performance evaluation; in relation to trust, previous studies have primarily discussed it through contract, communication and competence approaches; and, as to organizational objectives, changes on current systems, focus on performance and business risk reduction are tackled. Feedback, however, was dealt with after achieving objectives, when management incorporates trust on personnel relationships – the primary step towards goals and objectives.

Both species were collected from branches, leaves and fruits of various fruit trees in the municipalities of São José de Ribamar, São Luís and Paço do Lumiar, Maranhão, Brazil. Crypticerya zeteki was collected on Citrus spp. (Rutaceae), Cocos nucifera (L.) (Arecaceae), Cycas revoluta L. (Cycadaceae), Malpighia punicifolia L. (Malpighiaceae), Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae), Musa paradisiaca L. (Musaceae) and Theobroma grandiflorum Schum (Malvaceae), all first records for this species. Maconellicoccus hirsutus was collected on Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae) and M. punicifolia L. (Malpighiaceae), both new records for this species.

Abstract Plants can be attacked by a wide variety of herbivores. Thus, developing protective mechanisms for resistance against these agents is an advantage for survival and reproduction. Over the course of evolution, many resistance mechanisms against herbivory have been developed by the plants. Induced direct and indirect resistance mechanisms can manifest in plants after herbivore attack. The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is not a pest of maize crops (Zea mays), despite being reported infesting plants that may have resistances against this herbivore. We tested the hypothesis that maize plants would be able to induce direct resistance against T. urticae after, evaluating the effect of T. urticae infestation in maize plants on the development and reproduction of conspecifics. We tested induced direct resistance performing infestation and measuring biological parameters upon a second infestation. Maize plants, 40 days after sowing, were divided into two groups: 30 not infested by T. urticae (clean plants clean) and, 30 infested by the spider mite. Infestation of maize plants by T. urticae reduced the conspecific female adult survival. However, no change in the survival of immature or reproduction was observed. These results suggest the induction of induced direct resistances in maize by T. urticae. This is first report of direct resistance induction in Z. mays by the two-spotted spider mite T. urticae.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to balance the production line and analyze the layout of the sewing sector in a furniture industry. Using the Arena software, a simulation model was constructed that represented the real system consisting of a cellular layout with 3 groups of 5 seamstresses, who produced 57 different types of products divided into three families, in a daily working day of 625 minutes in the months of February to August and 725 minutes in the months of September to January. The model was quantitatively validated among the managers of the studied industry. The obtained results allowed conclusions with an error of less than 1% in the daily quantity of pieces produced with 99% statistical confidence. Therefore, three scenarios related to the organization of the work environment and the balancing of the production line were constructed, and those include: i) linear layout, and the balancing allowed the division of five seamstresses for families 1 and 2, and three seamstresses for family 3; ii) study of the layout by processes, so that the best balance was constituted of two groups with seven seamstresses; iii) similar to scenario 2 but with six seamstresses in group 1 and seven seamstresses in group 2. It was verified that the modified, alternative scenario 2 is more advantageous for the organization, since it presents greater productivity compared to all other scenarios and to the real system, so the company can increase its production capacity by simply modifying the layout and organizing the work environment.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the drying speed of Eucalyptus urophylla logs in high temperatures and the influence of the presence or absence of bark and also the diameter of the log in the drying rate. Eucalyptus logs 60 cm long were divided into three diameter classes: 8-12 cm; 12,1-16 cm and 16,1-20 cm. The logs were dried in a heater with forced air circulation, in the presence or absence of bark in five temperatures: 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150ºC. The mass and the initial moisture were determined from each log and the water loss was kept up with periodic weightings, closing the drying process when the logs reached 20% moisture. The drying rate of the logs was calculated using the ratio between the total loss of moisture and the time in hours in order to reach the established moisture. It was concluded that the increase in temperature promotes the raise of the drying ratio, as being higher for smaller logs in relation to bigger ones and in addition to this, the bark effect was not significant in the drying of eucalyptus logs above 100ºC. It was also concluded that the best conditions for the operation of artificial dryers for Eucalyptus logs containing bark and separated in diameter classes would be at 125ºC.
Preliminary Entomological and Parasitological Studies in Humboldt, Aripuanã, Mato Grosso State, Brazil.

ABSTRACT The preliminary results are given of studies on the sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) in forest surrounding the Humboldt Research Centre, Municipio of Aripuanã, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. A total of 712 sandflies were obtained, including 26 different species: of these, 387 were caught off human bait; 317 from tree-trunks; 4 in a malaise-trap; 3 in rodent baited oil traps; and 1 in a light-trap. Man-biting species were absent or very rare during studies in the dry season (August and September, 1974), but relatively abundant at the end of the rainy season (June, 1975): this suggests a seasonal transmission of leishmaniasis. The species at present known as Lutzomyia anduzei of Floch & Abonnenc (1942) was a major man-biter, this species is an important vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in North Pará, Brazil, and could be responsible for transmission in Aripuanã. Among a total of 349 female sandflies dissected, promastigote flagellates were found in 2 Lutzomyia yuilli; epimastigote flagellates in 1 L. yuilli; a microsporidian in Psychodopygus (1) complexus; a gregarine, probably Monocystis chagasi, in P. davisi; and a nematode larva in P. complexus. Inoculation of the promastigote flagellates into the skin of hamsters failed to give Leishmania infections: possibly they were developmental stages of some other parasite. Two research workers of Project RADAM acquired cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Humboldt area; and 6 cases of malaria were diagnosed, 3 due to P. falciparum and 3 to P. vivax. Transmission of malaria was shown to be taking place in the camp site itself. Finally, man-biting "black-flies" (Diptera: Simuliidae) were found to be a serious problem, necessitating constant use of insect repellent.
Os nomes e usos de palmeiras entre uma tribo de índios Yanomama
Authors: Anderson Anthony B.
Published: June 2017

Resumo Referências sobre 20 principais espécies de palmeiras utilizadas pelos Xiriana-teri, uma tribo de índios Yanomama, localizada ao norte do Estado do Amazonas, Brasil. Os nomes comuns (indígenas e brasileiros) e científicos de cada espécie são mencionados. Os usos que os Xiriana-teri fazem das palmeiras são examinados detalhadamente, concluindo-se que eles as utilizam em grau muito menor do que outras tribos de diversas regiões tropicais da América do Sul. Em grande parte, isso é devido aos aspectos materiais de sua cultura, bastante rudimentares em relação a outras tribos. Também, segundo observações do autor, houve no passado uma superexploração de espécies economicamente importantes nas proximidades da aldeia, o que é um fator importante na limitação atual dos usos que os Xiriana-teri fazem das palmeiras.

Published: June 2017

Abstract A new species of Cecropia, C. purpurascens C.C. Berg is described. Although it is common in the vicinity of Manaus, it has been overlooked previously because Cecropia is still a poorly studied genus. This new species is quite distinct from related species and is inhabited by ants of the genus Azteca.

Resumo Às pesquisas hidrológicas convencionais executadas pelo IDESP na região do arquipélago de Marajó, foi associado o estudo das variações naturais dos isótopos de hidrogênio e oxigênio das águas. Foram realizadas medidas das concentrações de Deutério e Oxigênio-18 em águas de precipitação, de rios, de lagos do interior da ilha de Marajó e das águas superficiais circundantes da mesma. Os dados obtidos são discutidos no que concerne à aplicabilidade dessas técnicas aos estudos hidrológicos da região de Marajó. A diferença de composição isotópica entre as águas do rio Amazonas na orla norte e as águas da baía de Marajó na orla sul aparece nitidamente, não obstante o aporte de águas do rio Amazonas para a baía de Marajó detectado através das análises isotópicas das águas no "Puro" de Breves. As águas superficiais internas da ilha apresentam composições isotópicas ligeiramente diferentes das águas pluviais, sendo as primeiras mais enriquecidas em isótopos pesados.
O “AMERICANISMO” E A CRIAÇÃO DA CADEIRA DE ESPANHOL NO ENSINO SECUNDÁRIO BRASILEIRO (1917-1926)
Authors: Guimarães Anselmo , Souza Josefa Eliana
Published: June 2017

Resumo Este artigo investigou as contribuições do “Americanismo” para a criação da cadeira de espanhol no ensino secundário brasileiro, as finalidades imediatas da institucionalização do espanhol como disciplina escolar e as dificuldades desse processo no Brasil, de 1917 a 1926. O estudo fundamentou-se nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da história cultural e, sobretudo, da história das disciplinas escolares no diálogo com André Chervel (1990). A análise evidenciou que apesar da introdução do ensino da língua espanhola como troca de gentileza ao ato do Governo do Uruguai, não agregou ao ensino qualquer outro objetivo.

Authors: Oliveira Anelise Martinelli Borges , Barbosa Raquel Lazzari Leite
Published: June 2017

Resumo O estudo objetiva compreender o processo de implantação do Colégio Tiradentes da Polícia Militar de Uberaba (CTPM-Uberaba), atentando-se para as conjunturas militares, políticas e religiosas das quais o Brasil era palco e, mais especificamente, o Estado de Minas Gerais e a cidade de Uberaba. O recorte temporal compreendeu o período de 1964 a 1968, que corresponde à abertura do colégio, em salas emprestadas do Grupo Escolar Uberaba, e à inauguração do prédio novo. Para tanto, foram utilizadas fontes documentais da época, como legislação, jornal, fotografias e documentos militares. Os resultados mostraram uma preocupação das autoridades civis-militares em difundir os valores militares para além dos quartéis, num período em que o autoritarismo militar vinha ganhando força no Brasil.
REFORMA DO ENSINO MÉDIO NO CONTEXTO DA MEDIDA PROVISÓRIA N o 746/2016: ESTADO, CURRÍCULO E DISPUTAS POR HEGEMONIA
Authors: Ferreti Celso João , Silva Monica Ribeiro da
Published: June 2017

RESUMO: O texto se propõe a tomar como foco de análise a Medida Provisória (MP) nº 746/2016 e as proposições relativas à reforma curricular do ensino médio. Partimos do entendimento do currículo em suas dimensões restrita (matriz curricular) e ampla, como tecnologia social a serviço de ações hegemônicas e/ou contra hegemônicas. À luz do conceito de Estado ampliado de Gramsci, a partir do qual o tensionamento entre sociedade política e sociedade civil engendra disputas por hegemonia, desenvolvemos a análise considerando duas fontes: os argumentos trazidos nas audiências públicas que debateram a Medida Provisória até sua conversão em Projeto de Lei (PL) e, finalmente, em Lei; e as proposições em torno da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), considerada central para a implementação da reforma.
AS DEMANDAS CONSERVADORAS DO MOVIMENTO ESCOLA SEM PARTIDO E A BASE NACIONAL CURRICULAR COMUM
Authors: Macedo Elizabeth
Published: June 2017

RESUMO: O artigo busca entender como a emergência do movimento autodenominado Escola sem Partido (ESP) e de suas demandas conservadoras deslocam as negociações políticas na elaboração da Base Nacional Curricular Comum. O argumento central é o de que as negociações em curso seguem pondo em funcionamento uma normatividade neoliberal, entendida em matriz pós-estrutural. São analisados a segunda versão da base e os sites de divulgação do ESP, tendo por pano de fundo a assunção pós-fundacional de que a política é uma luta por significação de demandas particulares de diferentes grupos.
