Staying In: The Study of Pacific Islanders in College Football Using Indigenous Methodologies
Authors: Kukahiko Keali‘i Troy
Published: November 2017

This is a qualitative study that investigates how culture and race impact the college experiences of PI football players, how those experiences enhance or inhibit their persistence in higher education, and to introduce Pacific Islander Cultural Racism Theory (PI-CRiT) as a guiding framework for the research. The methodology for this study weaves three Pacific Islander cultural constructs together to ensure that the research process is respectful of each participant, their community, and their gift of mo‘olelo (story). This PI methodology disrupts dominant research paradigms by suggesting that data collection, analysis and interpretation should align with its participants’ ontology, epistemology and axiology. That is, the methods to gain more knowledge about reality (methodology), should align with the participants’ views about reality (ontology), their ways of thinking about reality (epistemology), and their ethics, morals and values that guide their interaction in that reality (axiology).

Published: November 2017

The lack of capital for investment and limited access for small beef cattle farming to obtain credit from financial institution have contributed to the occurrence of share-beef cattle in rural areas. Through share-beef cattle pattern, the farmers (tenant) can rent livestock from other parties (individual nor government) within a share-beef cattle contract agreement. The purposes of this study were to determine the technical efficiency and the factors which influence the inefficiency from 108 small beef cattlebreeding, which consists of 59 farming operated by owner and 49 operated by tenant.  The unit samples were selected by snowball sampling method and analysed by Stochastic Frontier Production. Our study showed that the average technical efficiency of beef cattle breeding operated by owner was at 0.73, otherwise operated by tenant was at 0.790. The inefficiency of beef cattle breeding operated by owner has negatively corresponded to the number of cows, the farmer age, the age of cow and the application of artificial insemination (IA), but positively corresponded to allocation of family labour and level of farmer education. The inefficiency of beef cattle breeding operated by a tenant has negatively corresponded to the application of artificial insemination (AI). Specific conclusion of the study was the technical efficiency level of small beef cattle breeding was not only affected by the ownership of beef cattle but also by the pattern of share-beef cattle.  The share-beef cattle based on share income(50:50) may improve the value of technical efficiency compared to share-beef cattle based on share in-kind (share-beef cattle revolving cow or share-beef cattle revolving calf).

Published: November 2017

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of silica+ supplementation (Si) in different types of diet on performance, nutrient retention (energy, protein, fat), and the economic value of broiler diet. The treatment diets are 1. HN (high nutrient), 2. HN+Si, 3. LN (low nutrient), 4. LN+Si, 5. HNRB (high nutrient contained rice bran) and 6. HNRB+Si. A number of 1440 unsexed day old chicks (CP707 strains) were arranged in a com­pletely randomized design consisted of 6 treatments and each treatment was replicated six times.  The results showed that silica+ supplementation in HNRB and LN diets did not affect the performance and nutrient retention. The HNRB diet produced low fat retention, high FCR during starter period, and lower body weight during starter and grower period (P<0.05). The LN diet resulted high FCR during starter period (P<0.05), however it had no effects on the body weight. Silica+ supplementation on HN diet decreased the FCR by 8.09% during the grower period (P<0.05). Besides, it increased the fat retention and true metabolizable energy corrected by nitrogen (TMEn) by 1.30% and 4.41%, respectively. In general, silica+ supplementation was applied on the high nutrient diet during the grower period (22 to 35 days of ages) was effective. HN+Si produced the highest economic value diet in terms of income over feed and chick cost (IOFCC) increasing by 11.07% and relative feed cost (RFC) decreasing by 4.16%.

Core Ideas

Bioreactors can be designed to remove nitrate from drainage ditches.

Designing bioreactors for ditch drainage requires site‐specific flexibility.

All mid‐Atlantic ditch bioreactors tested removed nitrate from drainage water.

Practical concerns will require adjustments to design and installation.

There is strong interest in adapting denitrifying bioreactors to mid‐Atlantic drainage systems to help address Chesapeake Bay water quality goals. Three ditch drainage‐oriented bioreactors were constructed in 2015 in Maryland to evaluate site‐specific design and installation concerns and nitrate (NO3–N) removal. All three bioreactor types removed NO3–N, as measured by load and/or concentration reduction, showing promise for denitrifying bioreactors in the mid‐Atlantic's low gradient Coastal Plain landscape. The ditch diversion bioreactor (25% NO3–N load reduction; 0.97 g NO3–N removed m−3 d−1) and the sawdust denitrification wall adjacent to a ditch (>90% NO3–N concentration reduction; 1.9–2.9 g NO3–N removed m−3 d−1) had removal rates within range of the literature. The in‐ditch bioreactor averaged 65% NO3–N concentration reduction, but sedimentation is expected to be one of the biggest challenges. A robust water balance is critical for future assessment of bioreactors’ contribution to water quality improvement in low gradient mid‐Atlantic landscapes.

Published: November 2017

Understanding how agricultural management and climate change affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is particularly important for dryland agriculture regions that have been losing SOC over time due to fallow and tillage practices, and it can lead to development of agricultural practice(s) that reduce the impact of climate change on crop production. The objectives of this study were: (i) to simulate SOC dynamics in the top 30 cm of soil during a 20‐yr (1993–2012) field study using CQESTR, a process‐based C model; (ii) to predict the impact of changes in management, crop production, and climate change from 2013 to 2032; and (iii) to identify the best dryland cropping systems to maintain or increase SOC stocks under projected climate change in central North Dakota. Intensifying crop rotations was predicted to have a greater impact on SOC stocks than tillage (minimum tillage [MT], no‐till [NT]) during 2013 to 2032, as SOC was highly correlated to biomass input (r = 0.91, P = 0.00053). Converting from a MT spring wheat (SW, Triticum aestivum L.)–fallow rotation to a NT continuous SW rotation increased annualized biomass additions by 2.77 Mg ha−1 (82%) and SOC by 0.22 Mg C ha−1 yr−1. Under the assumption that crop production will stay at the 1993 to 2012 average, climate change is predicted to have a minor impact on SOC (approximately −6.5%) relative to crop rotation management. The CQESTR model predicted that the addition of another SW or rye (Secale cereale L.) crop would have a greater effect on SOC stocks (0‐ to 30‐cm depth) than conversion from MT to NT or climate change from 2013 to 2032.

Core Ideas

Improved estimates of SOC responses to management are needed in dryland regions.

Soil organic C stocks were highly correlated to biomass input.

Crop rotation was predicted to have a greater impact on SOC stocks than tillage.

Anticipated climate change as of 2032 was predicted to have a minor impact on SOC stocks.

Addition of another spring wheat or rye crop would increase SOC by 2032.

Objective: This study designed to evaluate the endometrial volume, and the sub-endometrial flow indices as predictors of ICSI success.Study Design: Fifty infertile women included in this study, and received long pituitary downregulation protocol followed by hMG controlled hyperstimulation until ≥ 3 ovarian follicles 18-20 mm in diameter detected. Ovulation triggered by hCG, followed by oocytes retrieval 34-36 hours after hCG trigger. Day 2 or 3 embryo transfers done for all studied women, followed by quantitative β-hCG 14 days after the embryo transfers, and transvaginal sonography to diagnose clinical pregnancy. Studied women evaluated by the 3D ultrasound, and 3D power Doppler angiography at the day of the embryo transfers to assess the endometrial volume, and the sub-endometrial flow indices as predictors of the ICSI success.Results: The endometrial volume, sub-endometrial vascularization index, flow index, and vascularization flow index were higher in successful ICSI compared to unsuccessful ICSI group, but the difference was not significant. The ROC analysis showed that the endometrial volume and the 3D power Doppler angiography parameters (vascularization index, flow index, and vascularization flow index indices) were not conclusive for prediction of successful clinical pregnancy after the current ICSI trials.Conclusion: The endometrial volume and the 3D power Doppler angiography indices were not predictive for the clinical pregnancy after the current ICSI trials.
Feasibility of using existing web services for on-demand data access within distributed environmental decision support systems
Authors: Sheffield Stuart F. , Goodall Jonathan L. , Morsy Mohamed M. , Chen Alexander B.
Published: November 2017

Web services providing machine-accessible interfaces to environmental data are now commonplace. Building on this, a current trend is to expand these web services to provide on-demand access to model and analysis services. This progression suggests the future possibility of cloud-based decision support systems (DSSs) integrating distributed data and analysis services delivered through a host of providers. Such distributed environmental DSSs have many potential benefits, but would require highly scalable and responsive web services. The objective of this study is to assess the current feasibility of building distributed environmental DSSs from existing web services in the United States. Results show that, of the many available web services providing information about soils, river network topology, watersheds, streamflow, etc., response times are often only a few seconds for a small project area, but can grow exponentially as the project area increases. On-demand watershed delineation remains a slow-to-respond service relative to the other services tested. Also, the results suggest the need to better co-locate servers near client applications to speed up response times. Collectively, these results provide specific areas where future research is needed in order to achieve the vision of on-demand distributed environmental DSSs.

Un análisis histórico-crítico del fenómeno de las favelas en Rio de Janeiro/Brasil
Authors: Figueiredo Gustavo De Oliveira
Published: November 2017

La ocupación del espacio urbano en Brasil es reflejo de las históricas contradicciones y luchas internas de la propia sociedad. Estudiando el fenómeno de las favelas en Río de Janeiro, se ha buscado comprender cómo se fueron constituyendo históricamente como un tema relevante para la sociedad brasileña y el modo como sus poblaciones reaccionan y luchan por mejores condiciones de vida. Se debatieron los problemas, los desafíos, las resistencias, los movimientos populares, las ideologías, la fuerza del Estado, la disputa de poder y el conflicto generado por la ocupación del suelo urbano, por la cuestión de la vivienda y los reflejos de la desigualdad y exclusión social. Se identificaron múltiples propuestas de desarrollo social y se buscó comprender cómo los distintos modelos de urbanización de la ciudad consideran la favela como causa o consecuencia de variados problemas sociales en las grandes ciudades brasileñas. Finalmente, caracterizando las fuerzas en disputa, se analizó el fenómeno en el contexto actual de cambios acelerados en que vive la ciudad por cuenta de la especulación inmobiliaria, promovida por su internacionalización.

Memoria y modos de representar los juicios contra genocidas en Argentina. Un concepto para abordar la prensa escrita
Authors: Crocco Natalia Paola
Published: November 2017

En el presente artículo se propone realizar un recorrido conceptual de distintos trabajos académicos que han tematizado y conceptualizado la temática de la “memoria”. Ello con el objetivo de construir un concepto para abordar el modo en que la prensa escrita representa al proceso de juzgamiento contra los responsables de los crímenes cometidos por el Estado durante la última dictadura cívico militar en Argentina (1976-1983). El trabajo comienza con una introducción que sitúa a la investigación en el marco del proceso de juzgamiento en Argentina como el acontecimiento que permite la emergencia de nuevos discursos y sentidos vinculados al terror, produciendo novedades en los desarrollos de las ciencias sociales en general y los estudios de memoria en particular. El primer apartado se aboca a los modos en que el concepto de memoria ha sido tematizada y definida en tanto categoría analítica por las Ciencias Sociales. El segundo, tercer, cuarto y quinto apartado tienen por objetivo acercar las principales características del concepto de memoria construido a lo largo del artículo, en ellos se da cuenta de la memoria como un proceso encuadrado, conflictivo, múltiple, de larga duración y que conecta pasado, presente y futuro. Por último, la discusión y las conclusiones pretenden integrar el concepto construido a lo largo del texto con el abordaje de los juicios en la prensa escrita y dejar abiertos algunos interrogantes.

Complex Elbow Dislocations and the “Terrible Triad” Injury
Authors: Jones Alistair D.R. , Jordan Robert W.
Published: November 2017

Background:

The elbow is the second most commonly dislocated joint in adults and up to 20% of dislocations are associated with a fracture. These injuries can be categorised into groups according to their mechanism and the structures injured.

Methods:

This review includes a literature search of the current evidence and personal experiences of the authors in managing these injuries.

Results:

All injuries are initially managed with closed reduction of the ulno-humeral joint and splinting before clinical examination and radiological evaluation. Dislocations with radial head fractures should be treated by restoring stability, with treatment choice depending on the type and size of radial head fracture. Terrible triad injuries necessitate operative treatment in almost all cases. Traditionally the LCL, MCL, coronoid and radial head were reconstructed, but there is recent evidence to support repairing of the coronoid and MCL only if the elbow is unstable after reconstruction of lateral structures. Surgical treatment of terrible triad injuries carries a high risk of complications with an average reoperation rate of 22%. Varus posteromedial rotational instability fracture-dislocations have only recently been described as having the potential to cause severe long-term problems. Cadaveric studies have reinforced the need to obtain post-reduction CT scans as the size of the coronoid fragment influences the long-term stability of the elbow. Anterior dislocation with olecranon fracture has the same treatment aims as other complex dislocations with the added need to restore the extensor mechanism.

Conclusion:

Complex elbow dislocations are injuries with significant risk of long-term disability. There are several case-series in the literature but few studies with sufficient patient numbers to provide evidence over level IV.
The study of Apara (placenta) and its correlation with the Prakriti and Weight of newborn

Published: November 2017

The placenta is the most important and the only organ between mother and foetus serving multiple functions like endocrinal, respiratory and metabolic. Normal development of the placenta is the one of the important requirements for a healthy pregnancy, regulating foetal growth and foetal health so that formation of the healthy progeny. In cotemporary sciences many researches are going in the aim of formation of healthy progeny. Apara is the vital feature related to Garbha Sharira in Ayurveda, but its description is in a Sutra form. Hence this study is an humble attempt to explore the concept of ‘Ayurveda Garbha Sharira’ by studying the description of Apara trying to establishment of the assessment of correlation between features of placenta with that of Prakriti is more instinct for this study. Prakriti is the basic concept of Ayurveda. It forms in intrauterine life by combination of Shukra and Shonita. However we do not find direct references of Apara relation with the Prakriti of newborn in Ayurveda. This study intends to fill in the lacunae of both the disciplines by knowledge of integration. If this study establishes some parameters based on the characteristics of Apara with weight and Prakriti of newborn then it will be the unique contribution for Ayurveda Garbha Sharira.

Generally in young age, keeps on doing Mithya Aahara and Vihara which leads to Agnidusthi and which become cause of various diseases. As they work restless, their sedentary habits and stress full lifestyle. They are ought to do Vishamashan, Krodha etc., due to their lifestyle. This type of lifestyle leads to Agnidushti and which becomes cause of various diseases. 80 volunteers of age group 20-40 years were selected for the study. They underwent for clinical study on the basis of number of Lakshanas present. These were taken as subjective parameter and which were Samanya and Vishesh Lakshanas. Those were Arochaka, Vidagdha Udgara, Vishtambha, Aadhmana, Anga-Marda, Atijrumbha, Shirshula, Guru Gatrata, Utklesh. Jarana Kala and Abhyavaharan Shakti were objective parameters, as these two are important to assess Agni of a person. For Jarana Kala gradation was done on the basis of hours of time taken to show Laghuta and Kshuda Bodha, because these are Jeerna Aahara Lakshanas. For Abhyavaran Shakti gradation was done on the basis of quantity of food. To assess Agnivardhana, specific diet chart was prepared by considering their daily requirement of calorie. Volunteers were advised to do three Avartana of Makarasana in the morning; Significant changes were seen in Abhyavaharana Shakti in both groups. 56.7% relief in group A and 72% relief were seen. There were significant changes seen in Jaran Kala in both groups. 54.9% relief in Group A and 74% relief in Group B.
An appraisal of Kshara Kalpana
Authors: Dixit Shiv Om , Angadi Ravindra , G. Vatsalya D.
Published: November 2017

Ayurveda describes various dosage forms for the administration of the medicament in human body. These dosage forms are denoted by the term Kalpana. Many Kalpana have been described in the classical texts along with five basic Kalpana. One such Kalpana is Kshara Kalpana. The utility of Kshara is mainly seen in the field of Shalya Tantra where it is used in the management of the cases of Arsha, Bhagandara, Nadi Vrana etc. but at the same instance it also provides fruitful results in the cases of Shwasa, Mootrakrichha etc. Kshara proves its utility in the processing of Parada whereby it acts as a Vida and makes the processing of Parada easy. Due importance has been given to Kshara preparation in most of the classics but at the same moment, we find differences in the various methods mentioned for the preparation. Hence an attempt has been made to compile the various references available in the classical texts and to justify their probable use in the present paper.
Ayurvedic management of Retinitis Pigmentosa (Doshandha) - A Case Study
Authors: D. Anju , Poudel Pushpa Raj , Viswam Ajoy , J. Ashwini M.
Published: November 2017

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited, degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment due to the progressive degeneration of rod photoreceptor cells in retina. This form of retinal dystrophy manifests initial symptoms independentof age; thus, RP diagnosis occurs anywhere from early infancy to late adulthood. This primary pigmentary retinal dystrophy is a hereditary disorder predominantly affecting the rods more than the cones. The main classical triads of retinitis pigmentosa are arteriolar attenuation, Retinal bone spicule pigmentation and Waxy disc pallor. The main treatment of retinitis pigmentosa is by using Low vision aids (LVA) and Genetic counseling. As such a complete cure for retinitis pigmentosa is not present. So a treatment protocol has to be adopted that helps in at least the symptomatic relief. In Ayurveda, the signs and symptoms of this can be compared with the Lakshanas of Doshandha which is one among the Dristigata Roga. It is considered as a diseased condition in which sunset will obliterate the Dristi Mandala and makes the person blind at night time. During morning hours the rising sunrays will disperse the accumulated Dosas from Dristi to clear vision. This disease resembles Kaphajatimira in its pathogenesis, but the night blindness is the special feature. Since the disease is purely Kaphaja, a treatment attempt is planned in Kaphara and Brimhana line. The present paper discusses a case of retinitis pigmentosa and it’s Ayurvedic Treatment.

Neste artigo, incorporamos as proposições de Lazzarato (2013) sobre a “produção do homem endividado”, central à compreensão da sociedade atual, como ponto de vista transversal à análise de entrevistas com citadinos de seis cidades médias brasileiras, Marília, Presidente Prudente, Ribeirão Preto, São Carlos e São José do Rio Preto (SP) e Londrina (PR). Realizadas no âmbito do Projeto Temático “Lógicas econômicas e práticas espaciais contemporâneas: cidades médias e consumo”, as entrevistas versam sobre o consumo e seus espaços, em sentido amplo. As referências ao uso do cartão de crédito e ao financiamento da casa própria, principalmente, mas também a empréstimos, cheques pré-datados, boletos bancários e cadernetas, em sua amplitude e diversidade vinculadas às diferenças entre as classes sociais e seus segmentos, e suas espacializações múltiplas e desiguais, possibilitam compreender os efeitos do processo de financeirização em sua relação com a ampliação da bancarização e do acesso ao crédito.
A concepção de desenvolvimento nos quatro momentos de implementação do complexo industrial portuário de Suape (1955 a 2015)
Authors: Gumiero Rafael Gonçalves
Published: November 2017

O Complexo Industrial Portuário de Suape (CIPS) possui uma longa trajetória de experiências para o planejamento regional. Os objetivos deste artigo são: primeiro, compreender se houve mudança no repertório do conceito de desenvolvimento dos planos institucionais do CIPS, de 1955 a 2015; segundo, se houve equilíbrio entre os investimentos do governo federal e de Pernambuco na área econômica e social aplicados no território estratégico de Suape, nos anos 2003 a 2015. A metodologia utilizada foi realizada em dois movimentos: (1) a análise do discurso institucional dos documentos do CIPS e dos PPAs do governo federal e de Pernambuco; (2) o balanço de dados de investimentos do programa de aceleração do crescimento (PAC) e do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) subjacente aos indicadores socioeconômicos dos municípios que compõem o território estratégico de Suape. Conclui-se que a concepção de desenvolvimento do governo federal está limitada pela estratégia de investimento setorial, do PAC e do BNDES, nos segmentos de petróleo e gás, centralizados no eixo de energia de Suape e houve polarização de gastos do governo federal em empreendimentos em Ipojuca e Cabo de Santo Agostinho nos anos de 2007 a 2015.
Remanescentes paisagísticos da cidade moderna: apoteose e decadência do Parque Centenário, em Criciúma/SC
Authors: De Lucca Gustavo Rogério , Pimenta Margareth De Castro Afeche
Published: November 2017

A industrialização brasileira em meados do século XX estimulou profundas transformações nas paisagens urbanas, constituindo dimensões inéditas para as novas estruturas de circulação e de uso público. Nesse processo, investimentos estatais deram forma a novos espaços abertos que, não raro, reorganizavam o tecido urbano e se inseriam nas cidades como signos de desenvolvimento. Como herança à cidade contemporânea, essa geração de áreas públicas se constitui em um mosaico de referências históricas do urbanismo brasileiro, mas também em um desafio para um país que ainda pouco reconhece seu patrimônio moderno. Na qualidade de objeto de estudo deste artigo, discutem-se as inserções do Parque Centenário – complexo modernista das décadas de 1970 e 80, mas já condenado por descaracterizações diversas – nos imaginários e na estrutura urbana de Criciúma, importante cidade industrial catarinense. Considera-se que o seu reconhecimento como uma das principais obras públicas do modernismo no interior do país permeia quaisquer novas possibilidades para sua preservação.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA PESCA COM TIMBÓ PARA O POVO INDÍGENA APYÃWA (TAPIRAPÉ) DE MATO GROSSO
Authors: Tapirapé Xawapa’io , Leão Marcelo Franco
Published: November 2017

A pesca artesanal com o cipó timbó é bastante recorrente entre os povos indígenas. Porém, cada etnia tem seu modo de bater timbó, bem como suas tradições e costumes. Esse estudo etnográfico teve o objetivo de registrar a pesca com timbó e sua importância para o povo Tapirapé. Seu desenvolvimento ocorreu durante os anos de 2014, 2015 e 2016 na aldeia Tapiparanytãwa (córrego da onça), localizada em Confresa/MT. A pesca pode feita por homens e mulheres que ao utilizar esse cipó venenoso, diluindo seu látex na água, asfixia peixes que sobem para superfície, tornando mais fácil capturá-los. Essa substância não é tóxica para animais de sangue quente, porém pode causar irritação nos olhos quando alguém for se banhar nas águas onde o timbó foi batido. Cabe lembrar que o cipó timbó só provoca efeito quando golpear pancadas em pedaços de seu caule sobre a água. A partir daí o trabalho realizado é o de apanhar os peixes que estão atordoados ou mortos e flutuando. Também pode fechar o igarapé fazendo uma barragem para esperar o peixe passar. Os peixes que afundam são perdidos, pois não podem ser capturados em águas profundas. A pesca com o timbó faz parte de ritual sagrado para a etnia Tapirapé. Essa tradição está inserida na vida do povo indígena, nos seus costumes, em sua cultura e tradições, por isso precisa ser respeitada e preservada.
A crise dos reféns do Irã através da Revista Veja (1979-1981): produção de sentidos através da narrativa jornalística
Authors: Zanoni David Anderson
Published: November 2017

O presente artigo procura discutir o uso da dinâmica narrativa seriada como elemento de persuasão ao público leitor. Para tanto, analisaram-se os eventos ocorridos em Teerã, capital do Irã entre 1979 e 1981, conhecido como “a crise dos reféns”, reportado pela revista brasileira Veja. Esse episódio insere-se no contexto pós-revolucionário iraniano, o qual proporcionou a ruptura governamental da autocracia do xá (imperador) Mohammed Reza Pahlevi ocasionando a ascensão de uma teocracia islâmica capitaneada pelo Aiatolá (autoridade religiosa islâmica) Rulloah Khomeini. A proposta, portanto, é observar como o periódico transpôs os eventos iranianos levando em consideração sua estratégia narrativa, a dinâmica jornalística utilizada para reportar o Irã no recorte temporal proposto.
Do processo criminal para as páginas jornalísticas: aspectos da religiosidade popular em Palmas/PR (1907)
Authors: Moreira Precila Kátia
Published: November 2017

A religiosidade popular é incluída como grande temática neste artigo, mas a atenção se volta para imprensa escrita diante de casos religiosos presenciados pela população. A problemática atenta-se para o contexto histórico da região dos Campos de Palmas no sudoeste do Paraná e acerca o objetivo geral da pesquisa que visa analisar aspectos da religiosidade popular, experimentados por parcelas da população local, em um momento em que a Igreja Católica investia na romanização da religião. O caso analisado é um processo-crime de 1907, resultante de uma prática de exorcismo na localidade de Alegria no município de Palmas/PR. A base documental utilizada como fonte histórica para esse artigo são recortes jornalísticos da imprensa escrita, além do processo criminal, assim promovendo um diálogo por meio do cruzamento das fontes. Com isso, possibilita-se uma percepção maior do contexto, aproximando o cotidiano dos sujeitos envolvidos no caso para compreender as experiências religiosas vivenciadas.

This work describes the preliminary analysis of Fricke gels dosimeters
characterized by a new formulation making use of a matrix of polyvinyl
alcohol cross-linked by adding glutaraldehyde and analyzed by means of
nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry. In previous optical studies, these
gels have shown promising dosimetric features in terms of photon sensitivity
and low diffusion of ferric ions produced after irradiation. In this work, we
used a portable nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometer to measure the
relaxation times (which are important for dosimetric applications) of these
gel materials. For this purpose, we performed a study for optimizing the
acquisition parameters with a nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometer. Gel
samples were exposed to clinical 6 MV photons in the dose range between 0 and
20 Gy. Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry measurements were per- formed
and the sensitivity to photon beams was measured for various values of the
Fe2+ ion concentration. The analyses pointed out that the MR signal increases
as the Fe2+ content in- creases and the increase is about 75 % when the
concentration of Fe2+ ions is increased from 0.5 mM to 2.5 mM. Furthermore,
the sensitivity improvement achieved with increasing the Fe2+ concentration
is about 60 %. This paper shows that the portable nuclear magnetic resonance
relaxometer used for analysis of porous materials can be used for
characterization of these dosimetric gels and this study can be considered as
the first step for the characterization of these dosimeters which in future
could be used for 3-D dose mapping in clinical applications.

No setor da moda, muitos aspectos podem levar os consumidores à compra, desde o aspecto funcional de vestir-se, ou mesmo pelos aspectos estético, econômico, simbólico ou, mais recentemente, sustentável. Sobre o assunto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar se o fator sustentável aplicado à moda poderia influenciar no momento da decisão de compra de consumidores da cidade de São Luís, localizada no estado do Maranhão. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo com questionário junto a uma amostragem de 30 pessoas em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior e em um shopping da cidade. Como resultados, foram ouvidos homens e mulheres entre 30 a 35 anos, e observou-se que para 80% da amostra, a característica sustentável poderia influenciar no momento da escolha da peça de vestuário, mas desde que a peça não possua diferença no preço. PALAVRAS - CHAVE: Sustentabilidade.

Published: November 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar se os eventos dos mais variados portes em São Luís/MA fazem a aplicação da norma NBR ISO 20.121 de 2012, a qual estabelece critérios para eventos sustentáveis, e se os envolvidos nesse processo (produtores e funcionários em geral) têm consciência de suas atitudes para com meio ambiente. Esta pesquisa tem caráter exploratório, com procedimentos técnicos de pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, onde foram realizadas visitas e aplicação de questionários semiestruturados com doze produtores e casas de eventos do município de São Luís - MA. Sendo assim, pôde ser constatado que a norma de evento sustentável é desconhecida por produtores e casas de eventos do município de São Luís – MA, refletindo a triste realidade, do estado e do país, onde a geração de lucro e utilização dos recursos naturais de forma irresponsável visa apenas à ascensão econômica, sem se preocupar com os impactos ambientais gerados.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Impactos ambientais.
