Los cuerpos insubordinados de Elsa María Meléndez: arte y género en el Caribe
Authors: Torres-Arzola Raquel
Published: September 2021

Cuando observamos detenidamente el trabajo artístico de Elsa María Meléndez encontramos con frecuencia e insistencia representaciones no convencionales de cuerpos femeninos que retan directamente y sin pudor la construcción tradicionalista que en torno a las mujeres abunda en la historia del arte. Son cuerpos que no sólo asumen la diversidad como característica física sino las sexualidades en conflicto como sus más sólida particularidad discursiva.Haciéndose valer de la parodia como un recurso, Meléndez logra establecer en su obra y con claridad narrativas de ficción desde las cuales los deseos reprimidos se permiten hacer acto de presencia en el espacio de lo visible. La artista aborda temas y asuntos relacionados a la identidad, la sexualidad, el erotismo, la tradición y el rol social-conductual de las mujeres de manera abierta y directa y los mueve al espacio de lo público como una estrategia sólida desde la cual encara el tabú y la secretividad a la que estos temas están tradicionalmente destinados.Los cuerpos insubordinados de Meléndez retan de manera creativa la tradición de la labor de la aguja, el medio de la serigrafía y la mismísima historia del arte al establecer un diálogo entre la historia de las mujeres y las intensas dinámicas del arte contemporáneo.
R2D2-GAN: Unlimited Resolution Image Generation for Acoustic Data
Authors: Jegorova Marija , Karjalainen Antti Ilari , Vazquez Jose , Hospedales Timothy
Published: September 2021

Abstract In this paper, we present a novel simulation technique for generating high-quality images of any predefined resolution. This method can be used to synthesize sonar scans of size equivalent to those collected during a full-length mission, with across-track resolutions
of any chosen magnitude. In essence, our model extends generative adversarial network (GAN)-based architecture into a conditional recursive setting that facilitates the continuity of the generated images. The data produced are continuous and realistically looking and can also be generated
at least two times faster than the real speed of acquisition for the sonars with higher resolutions, such as EdgeTech. The seabed topography can be fully controlled by the user. The visual assessment tests demonstrate that humans cannot distinguish the simulated images from real ones. Moreover,
experimental results suggest that, in the absence of real data, the autonomous recognition systems can benefit greatly from training with the synthetic data, produced by the double-recursive double-discriminator GANs (R2D2-GANs).
Lessons for Shoreline Resiliency: An Engineer's Analysis of Sea-Level Rise Planning in the Southeastern United States
Authors: O'Shaughnessy Amanda , Smith Emily A.
Published: September 2021

Abstract Many coastal communities have to adapt in some form to mean sea-level rise (MSLR). This involves planning and determining the best path to protect lives, property, and infrastructure. Currently, planning for sea-level change is left to states and local communities
to outline how to mitigate or adapt to changing sea level. Many communities independently develop their sea-level mitigation plans based on publicly available information and might benefit from a nationally coordinated effort to offer expert information for better planning. Analyzing the current
state and local strategies provides a baseline for understanding broader sea-level mitigation needs. Findings from this analysis show that many communities in southeastern states are using similar methods (i.e., natural infrastructure, including land use and zoning and conservation) to prepare
for sea-level rise (SLR), which suggests collaboration and communication among communities is a logical step to advance SLR planning. Looking specifically at coastline protection methods, current methods are geographically fragmented, which could impact their success. Additionally, SLR is
not universally recognized as a hazard as 30% of plans analyzed did not mention SLR. This limited study conducted by a Hollings scholar during a summer internship reviews and categorizes the different sea-level plans of states, counties, and communities along the Gulf Coast up to North Carolina
to determine how federal agencies can best assist local communities in SLR planning.
A 3-D Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network for Detecting Docking Structures in Cluttered Environments
Authors: Pereira Maria Inês , Leite Pedro Nuno , Maykol Pinto Andry
Published: September 2021

Abstract The maritime industry has been following the paradigm shift toward the automation of typically intelligent procedures, with research regarding autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) having seen an upward trend in recent years. However, this type of vehicle cannot be
employed on a full scale until a few challenges are solved. For example, the docking process of an ASV is still a demanding task that currently requires human intervention. This research work proposes a volumetric convolutional neural network (vCNN) for the detection of docking structures
from 3-D data, developed according to a balance between precision and speed. Another contribution of this article is a set of synthetically generated data regarding the context of docking structures. The dataset is composed of LiDAR point clouds, stereo images, GPS, and Inertial Measurement
Unit (IMU) information. Several robustness tests carried out with different levels of Gaussian noise demonstrated an average accuracy of 93.34% and a deviation of 5.46% for the worst case. Furthermore, the system was fine-tuned and evaluated in a real commercial harbor, achieving an accuracy
of over 96%. The developed classifier is able to detect different types of structures and works faster than other state-of-the-art methods that establish their performance in real environments.

Published: September 2021

Background

Critical care nurses titrate continuous infusions of medications to achieve clinical end points. In 2017, The Joint Commission (TJC) placed restrictions on titration practice, decreasing nurses’ autonomous decision-making.

Objectives

To describe the practice and perceptions of nurses regarding the 2017 TJC accreditation/regulatory standards for titration of continuous medication infusions.

Methods

A survey of nurses’ experiences titrating continuous medication infusions was developed, validated, and distributed electronically to members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.

Results

The content validity index for the survey was 1.0 for relevance and 0.95 for clarity. A total of 781 nurses completed the survey; 625 (80%) perceived titration standards to cause delays in patient care, and 726 (93%) experienced moral distress (mean [SD], 4.97 [2.67]; scale, 0-10). Among respondents, 33% could not comply with titration orders, 68% reported suboptimal care resulting from pressure to comply with orders, 70% deviated from orders to meet patient needs, and 84% requested revised orders to ensure compliance. Suboptimal care and delays in care significantly and strongly (regression coefficients ≥0.69) predicted moral distress.

Conclusions

Critical care nurses perceive TJC medication titration standards to adversely impact patient care and contribute to moral distress. The improved 2020 updates to the standards do not address delays and inability to comply with orders, leading to moral distress. Advocacy is indicated in order to mitigate unintended consequences of TJC medication management titration standards.
Mapping Post-Harvest Waste in Perishable Supply Chains through System Dynamics: A Sri Lankan Case Study
Authors: Jayalath Madushan Madhava , Perera H. Niles
Published: September 2021

Purpose : This research focuses on gaining insights on post-harvest waste. It is based on the upstream traditional vegetable and fruit supply chains in Sri Lanka and hopes to provide a basic understanding for future research. The research focuses on Thambuththegama and Nuwara Eliya dedicated economic centers which were established to collect vegetables directly from farmers. Research Method : Novel methods such as value stream mapping and system dynamics were used to map the supply chain and post-harvest waste for the first time in Sri Lanka. Value stream mapping was used to identify value-adding and nonvalue-adding activities. From the knowledge gained through literature and industry inputs a causal loop diagram was drafted. Findings : The causal loop diagrams show that lack of communication platforms, poor practices in handling vegetables, weather conditions and the number of intermediaries affect more towards postharvest waste. To reduce post-harvest waste, the government should invest more in awareness programs for the actors in the supply chain and relevant infrastructure. The research finds that inability to control the transpiration and respiration process of the harvested vegetables, unawareness of the issues among the value chain actors and operational inefficiencies are the main causes for post-harvest waste. Value : Future researchers can base the drafted causal loop diagram and develop a simulation model to increase operational efficiency and reduce post-harvest waste in the system.
Spatial and temporal distribution of the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic porphyry-style mineralized plutons of the Quesnel terrane, British Columbia: inferences on tectonic controls and porphyry prospectivity
Authors: Rogers N
Published: September 2021

Middle Triassic to Middle Jurassic arc-related sequences of the Quesnel terrane, British Columbia, host numerous major porphyry deposits. In south-central Quesnel terrane, temporal and spatial distribution of deposits have been related to eastward-younging,
subparallel belts of coeval, compositionally similar associated plutonic suites corresponding to shallowing of Cache Creek subduction beneath the Quesnel terrane.
Changes in alkalinity of arc magmatism is best explained by ingress of hot primitive mantle due to tectonic processes (i.e. slab rollback, tears, or break-off); however, such mechanisms are inconsistent with eastward migration of magmatism within a dominantly submergent (largely marine) arc built
above east-dipping subduction. Furthermore, the plutonic belts were defined for the southern Quesnel terrane and are far less apparent farther north. Notably, the plutonic belts are defined on the oldest exposed intrusions, with their distribution correlating to the overall eastward-younging of
fault-bounded country-rock panels.
In this paper, it is suggested that the axis of arc magmatism could remain largely static relative to the leading edge of the Quesnel terrane, with the observed distribution of southern Quesnel plutonism explained by post-depositional structural arrangement of fault-bounded blocks. This model raises
the possibility of undiscovered early mineralization being buried beneath Rhaetian and younger sequences exposed in central and eastern Quesnel fault panels.
Investigation of tourmaline characteristics in bedrock and surficial sediment samples from two Canadian porphyry copper systems
Authors: Beckett-Brown C E , McDonald A M , McClenaghan M B , Plouffe A , Ferbey T
Published: September 2021

Colour, texture, and chemistry were used to determine the source of tourmaline grains in local surficial (detrital) sediments from two Canadian porphyry systems (Woodjam and Casino). Tourmaline from porphyry bedrock is generally dark brown to black. Crystals
frequently exhibit oscillatory and sector zoning, with overgrowth, irregular, and patchy patterns. Major-element analyses show ranges from schorl (Fe2+-rich; 0.04-3.07 apfu, av. 0.76) to dravite (Mg-rich, av. 2.00 apfu), with a minor povondraite (Fe3+) component. The alkali- and alkaline-earth
element concentrations are relatively constant, with Na>Ca>_ and OH->O2- dominant. Tourmaline in porphyry systems is characterized by high Cu (tens of parts per million) and Sr (hundreds of parts per million), and low Pb (<10 parts per million) and Zn
(tens of parts per million). Detrital tourmaline occurs as euhedral grains and contains similar Fe and Mg concentrations and textural zonation patterns to porphyry tourmaline. Its trace-element content shows similarities but with larger ranges of values, likely related to the presence of
non-porphyry detrital tourmaline. Overall, a combination of physical and chemical characteristics (oxy-dravite-povondraite trend, high Sr, low Zn and Pb) of tourmaline grains are useful in discriminating between porphyry- versus non-porphyry-derived (or related) tourmaline in both bedrock and
surficial sediments.

Published: September 2021

Pulmonary underdevelopment is a rare congenital disease which manifests as persistent hemithorax opacification at chest radiography. We present three patients with different types of pulmonary underdevelopment, their imaging features and associated anomalies. Case 1 is a premature neonate with persistent respiratory distress. Further imaging confirmed right pulmonary hypoplasia, associated with a patent foramen ovale, patent ductus arteriosus and vertebral anomalies. Case 2 is a 6-year-old child with corrected anorectal malformation, and recurrent pneumonia. Further imaging confirmed left pulmonary aplasia, associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery and vertebral anomaly. Case 3 is a full term neonate who developed excessive drooling of saliva and respiratory distress. Further imaging confirmed right pulmonary agenesis, associated with an atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Pulmonary underdevelopment is classified into three types: hypoplasia, aplasia and agenesis. The majority of them have associated anomalies. This condition should be considered a differential diagnosis in paediatric patients with an opaque hemithorax on chest radiography.

Exercise-Induced Increases of Corticosterone Contribute to Exercise-Enhanced Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Mice
Authors: Wang Tzu-Feng , Tsai Sheng-Feng , Zhao Zi-Wei , Shih Monica Meng-Chun , Wang Chia-Yih , Yang Ting-Ting , Kuo Yu-Min
Published: August 2021

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is suppressed by chronic stress. The negative effect of stress is mainly attributed to increased levels of stress hormones (e.g. glucocorticoids, GCs). Exercise enhances AHN, yet it also stimulates GC secretion. To delineate the paradoxical role of GCs, we took the advantage of a unique mouse strain (L/L) which exhibits an inert response to stress-induced secretion of GCs to study the role of GCs in exercise-induced AHN. Our results showed that basal corticosterone (CORT), the main GCs in rodents, levels were similar between the L/L mice and wild-type (WT) mice. However, levels of CORT in the L/L mice were barely altered and significantly lower than those of the WT mice during treadmill running (TR). AHN was enhanced by 4 weeks of TR in the WT mice, but not L/L mice. WT mice that received daily injection of CORT to evoke serum CORT levels similar to those during exercise for 4 weeks did not affect AHN, whereas injection with large amount of CORT inhibited AHN. Taken together, our results indicated that exercise-related elevation of CORT participates in exercise-enhanced AHN. CORT alone is not sufficient to elicit AHN and may inhibit AHN if the levels are high.

Study of Expression of p53 and Ki-67 in Benign, Premalignant, and Malignant Lesions of the Gallbladder
Authors: Kumar Ranjeet , Yadav Shakti Kumar , Singh Garima , Gupta Ruchika , Singh Sompal
Published: August 2021

Background:

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) has a distinctly higher incidence in certain demographic groups and areas. Chronic cholecystitis and epithelial changes such as metaplasia/dysplasia are associated with a higher incidence of gallbladder carcinoma. Progression from chronic cholecystitis to metaplasia/dysplasia to carcinoma is multifactorial. Ki-67 and p53 are involved at various stages of the cell cycle, and altered expressions of Ki-67 and p53 have been implicated in the carcinogenesis of various malignant tumors.

Materials and Methods:

Eighty gallbladder specimens were included in the study. Cases were grouped as chronic cholecystitis (Group 1), metaplasia-dysplasia (Group 2), and GBC (Group 3). P53 and Ki-67 immunoexpressions were determined and results were compared between groups.

Results:

The p53 expression score was highest in Group 3 (4.35 ± 1.72) and lowest in Group 1 (0.73 ± 0.98). The difference in the mean level of p53 expression was significantly (P = 0.0001) different among the groups. Ki-67 index was highest in Group 3 (47.85 ± 17.46) and lowest in Group 1 (6.50 ± 3.88). The mean Ki-67 index was significantly higher in Group 3 compared to Groups 1 and 2. P53 overexpression and Ki-67 expression were significantly associated with the presence of GBC (P = 0.0001). There was a positive correlation (r
2 = 0.37, P = 0.001) between the expressions of p53 and Ki-67.

Conclusion:

P53 overexpression and Ki-67 index were significantly higher in the patients with GBC compared to those with chronic cholecystitis. This supports the theory of progression from chronic cholecystitis to metaplasia/dysplasia to carcinoma in the gallbladder. The expressions of p53 and Ki-67 in the metaplasia and dysplasia group were between the GBC and chronic cholecystitis groups.
Pediatric perioperative fluid management
Authors: Mathew Amit , Rai Ekta
Published: September 2021

Appropriate fluid management is vital for adequate tissue perfusion and balancing the internal milieu especially in perioperative settings and critically ill children. Pediatric population is heterogeneous so one formula may not suffice and hence both the quantitative and qualitative perspective of fluid management should be based on physiology and pathology of the child along with their perioperative needs. In perioperative setup, the fluid is administered to meet fluid deficits (fasting, and other daily based losses), blood losses and third space losses. Anesthetists have always followed pediatric maintenance fluid calculations based on Holiday and Segar formula; based on studies conducted on healthy children more than 70 years ago. Recently, there has been a lot of debate about this concept, especially as there are serious concerns regarding the development of complications like hyponatremia and hyperglycemia, both of which can result in neurological damage or even mortality in a sick child. This review is an attempt to provide a historical perspective and current evidence-based approach to peri-operative pediatric fluid management. We performed a PUBMED search for articles using keywords including ‘children’, ‘intravenous fluid therapy’, ‘crystalloids’, ‘colloids’, ‘fluid homeostasis’, ‘blood loss’, ‘estimation of blood loss’, ‘blood loss management’, ‘perioperative fluid ‘ to get our source articles.

Published: August 2021

When selecting and managing psychoactive medications in older people, it is equally important to focus on avoidance of toxicity as it is to focus on efficacy. Higher psychoactive medication load is associated with increased rate and risk of all cause hospitalization. The medication
classes used to treat depression and related comorbidities include antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants, mood stabilizers, lithium, anxiolytics and sedative hypnotics. This discussion will examine considerations to help avoid medication related problems relevant to medications used
to treat depression in the antidepressant pharmacological class.
Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Christensen Keith J. , Malesker Mark A. , Jagan Nikhil , Moore Douglas R
Published: August 2021

Objective To describe the case of an 88-year-old male with rheumatoid arthritis who developed pulmonary manifestations. Treatment for his RA previously included various biologics, while at the time of pulmonary consultation included meloxicam, methotrexate, and abatacept.
Following chest scans, bronchoscopy, needle biopsy, pulmonary function testing, and a thoracentesis, the diagnosis of pleural effusion and nodules associated with rheumatoid arthritis was determined. The patient was recommended to follow-up with the pulmonologist but was lost to follow-up
because of nonpulmonary and nonrheumatoid arthritis complications. Settings Ambulatory clinic pharmacy practice, Community pharmacy, Consultant pharmacy practice. Practice Considerations Drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis may produce pulmonary
toxicity similar to what is seen with the disease itself. Drug therapy may require modification if identified as an offending agent causing pulmonary manifestations. If fibrosing interstitial lung disease develops, the addition of nintedanib may need to be considered. Conclusion
In order for pharmacists to better assist providers and patients and improve therapeutic outcomes, it is important for pharmacists to understand that pulmonary manifestations are common in patients having rheumatoid arthritis as well as with drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Does the frailty phenotype at the age of 66 to 71 predict death? A 14-year survival analysis of the Lc65+ study
Authors: Fustinoni Sarah , Santos-Eggimann Brigitte , Henchoz Yves
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Frailty is a health characteristic resulting from the loss of physiological reserve of multiple organs, leading to exposure to adverse outcomes, and is possibly reversible in its earliest stages. It is identified by a specific phenotype that contributes to the practice of geriatric medicine, where it is considered a potential target for preventive action. This phenotype has recently attracted interest in other medical specialties for risk assessment before stressful interventions in older adults. Whereas frailty is unusual in sexagenarians, pre-frailty is common. This longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the significance of fulfilling at least one criterion of the frailty phenotype in the late sixties as a predictor of short- and long-term mortality in males and females.
METHODS: Data came from the first sample of the Lc65+ cohort, representative of the community-dwelling Lausanne population born between 1934 and 1939 (n = 1315). After baseline assessment of the five criteria of Fried’s frailty phenotype (shrinking, exhaustion, muscular weakness, motor slowness and low physical activity) in 2005 (age 66–71 years), deaths were recorded over 14 years. We separated individuals into non-frail (fulfilling 0 criterion) and (pre-)frail (1+ criteria). The relationship between the phenotype and mortality was investigated graphically using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and quantified in Cox models. Multivariable analyses incrementally controlled age, socioeconomic and health characteristics. The prediction of fully adjusted models was evaluated using the Harrell’s C index.
RESULTS: Overall, 401 persons (30.5%) were (pre-)frail at baseline. A quarter of the 1315 participants died over 14 years (n = 336, 25.6%). The mortality rate was significantly higher in males in the (pre-)frail subgroup only. Survival curves showed a significant effect of (pre-)frailty on the risk of dying for both sexes. The effect of (pre-)frailty on mortality was stronger during the first 4 years of the follow-up. In males, it was significant both in short (0–4 years) and longer (>4–14 years) terms. In females, it was significant in the short term only. In all models, the estimated effect was stronger in males. The fully adjusted model was fairly predictive of death in the short term both in males (Harrell’s C 0.79) and females (0.75).
CONCLUSIONS: The significantly higher mortality of individuals presenting 1+ frailty criteria supports the appropriateness of a systematic assessment of the frailty phenotype at the age of 66–71 years. In both females and males, early identification of pre-frailty has the potential to limit or reverse the development of frailty and extend lifespan through adequate individual management.

A través de un estudio descriptivo-cualitativo, se explica la participación juvenil en la aplicación de la justicia indígena dentro de la comunidad Kichwa Otavalo. Los jóvenes indígenas poseen el derecho de participar en la toma de decisiones y realizar control social a nivel organizativo público, privado y comunitario, pudiendo formar parte del cabildo en cumplimiento de los requisitos para desarrollarse dentro de un cargo administrativo. La justicia indígena se desarrolla a partir de las concepciones culturales de lo que es el hombre y el tipo de relaciones que debe tener con sus semejantes; de esta manera se pueden resolver los conflictos que se presentan. Los jóvenes pueden decidir no incluirse en temas como la aplicación de la justicia indígena.

Se realizó una investigación de campo por medio de encuestas dirigidas a los profesionales del derecho para un análisis de la situación social y jurídica que atraviesan los niños, niñas y adolescentes que son explotados laboralmente, situación que amerita del establecimiento de nuevas políticas públicas. Los resultados evidenciaron que aún existen estadísticas que reflejan niveles de trabajo infantil, y es que no solo representan la realidad de explotación y abusos que sufren las niñas y niños que son víctimas, sino que desentraña una crítica realidad, la posible deshumanización de la sociedad. Se concluye que se requiere de una política pública que profundice en el problema, sus causas, estado actual, así como recomendaciones a ser tomadas en cuenta por el Estado.

El estudio del proceso de formación nacional en Cuba se inserta en el campo de las investigaciones asociadas al caso del problema nacional cubano, es decir, a la indagación del devenir histórico social cubano que nació al fragor de sus luchas emancipatorias, cuyos acontecimientos contribuyeron o no, a la construcción del estado, la nación y nacionalidad cubanas. Para ello se utilizan métodos teóricos y empíricos. Este en particular, ofrece una explicación teórica del condicionamiento económico, político y social en el que se fue forjando el estado – nación, devenido en pueblo – nación cubano, como clara expresión de la voluntad de la mayoría popular, como sujeto colectivo masivo de poder, en el batallar por materializar su proyecto de nación.

A inclusão prevê a inserção de todos os estudantes nas classes regulares. Assim, os alunos, independentemente das deficiências que apresentam, devem ter igual tratamento nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem. O objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever a experiência vivenciada na escola, no que tange as estratégias que atendem aos alunos surdos. A metodologia utilizada se resume em levantamento bibliográfico e documental. Foi relatada uma experiência, com base em sugestões de metodologias de ensino de Geografia que proporcionem um processo de ensino e aprendizagem mais satisfatório. São elas: utilização de esquemas, infográficos e aplicativos de realidade em 3D. O trabalho conjunto do professor regente e do intérprete de Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) foi de crucial importância para que a inclusão realmente acontecesse. Como professor regente, tentamos identificar as necessidades da aluna e buscamos auxílio junto à professora do Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE), na sala de recursos multifuncionais, que sugeriu o uso de recursos visuais diversos, a fim de estimular a aluna surda. Essas estratégias foram se suma importância, pois toda a turma foi beneficiada, com aulas mais dinâmicas e interativas.
LEI 10.639/2003 NO DOCUMENTO CURRICULAR DE GOIÁS
Authors: Correa Guimarães Rosiane
Published: September 2021

A lei 10.369/2003 determina a obrigatoriedade do ensino sobre História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira em todas as instituições escolares. Após quase 20 anos de sua publicação, a lei ainda é um desafio para as instituições e professores. Diante disso, esse trabalho tem como objetivo principal verificar a presença dessa no Documento Curricular de Goiás (DCGO). A partir de análises no DCGO, evidenciamos que a temática central da lei é abordada apenas em disciplinas como Geografia, História e Língua Inglesa. Nas demais componentes, esse assunto não é abordado, o que pressupõe que as práticas oportunizadas para valorização da cultura afro-brasileira se resumem a experiências isoladas centradas em datas específicas. A escola, de forma geral, apresenta o mundo do ponto de vista da branquitude. A desconstrução deve ser constante, com vigilância e práticas cotidianas que visem a eliminação de termos e atitudes racistas, bem como a superação da invisibilidade negra. É nesse contexto que a lei deveria garantir a abordagem da cultura negra além dos estereótipos.

Este ensaio artigo propõe a analisar uma das principais fontes responsável pela manutenção do mito da democracia racial no Brasil, considerando a contínua discriminação racial que parte da sociedade brasileira vivencia: a Escola Básica. Todos nós sabemos que um dos maiores intento da Educação atual é a formação plena do cidadão. Mas, contraditoriamente, contrastando com esse objetivo, se observa, inclusive por estatística, a contínua exclusão da comunidade negra e parda do processo de formação formal, uma vez que uma parcela significativa desse grupo, não foi inclusa, de forma justa nesse processo. Existe um racismo velado e enraizado em nossa sociedade. Essa discriminação tem afetado por séculos as condições de vida do povo negro em nosso país e tem se perpetuado, pois, há um ‘consenso’ (idealizado e concretizado) de que existe uma democracia racial no Brasil. Um Racismo Estrutural e Institucional. Segundo o IPEA, mais da metade da população brasileira, é negra e mestiça, possuem baixa renda per capita e baixo índice de escolaridade. Poucas pessoas desse grupo conseguem ingressar em universidades e fazer parte das classes média e alta em nosso país.

A água é essencial para desenvolvimento e manutenção da vida no planeta e é indispensável para a prática de atividades como a agricultura, pecuária, indústria, comércio, abastecimento, uso doméstico, entre outras.  É necessário conhecer as ações e inter-relações existentes em uma bacia hidrográfica e os componentes associados às ações antrópicas desencadeadas pela degradação e impactos ambientais. Para identificar os principais impactos ambientais e suas consequências na bacia do rio Guavinipã, no norte de Minas Gerais, gerados pela ação humana, utilizaram-se a visita de campo in loco, para constatação e coleta de dados que foram georreferenciados e fotografados, e revisões bibliográficas. Foram encontrados impactos na bacia, como mineração, desmatamento, degradação da mata ciliar, erosão, poluição, assoreamento, esgotos e concentrados cultivos de pastagens e eucaliptos. Foi observada a necessidade de adoção de medidas pelo poder público juntamente com a população para controlar e mitigar os impactos por meio da educação ambiental, visando à preservação e redução dos impactos na bacia do rio Guavinipã.

Soil salinity harmfully effect bell pepper production being salt sensitive crop. The aim of this study was to compare capsicum (bell-pepper) cultivars for their ability to tolerate salt stress. Electrical conductivity of different levels i.e., control (no sodium chloride), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 dS m-1, was developed by using NaCl, after 30 days of seedling emergence of six cultivars (Yolo Wonder, California Wonder, Cop-amber Hybrid, F1 Pangs No. 206, Sweet Pepper F1, Kaka F1). These cultivars were evaluated based on morphological (shoot and root length, plant fresh and dry biomass), physiological (chlorophyll content) and biochemical attributes (nitrogen concentration, and protein contents). Minimum chlorophyll contents (SPAD units) in Kaka F1 (16.77 SPAD units) at 1.5 dSm-1. However, maximum value of chlorophyll contents was observed in Sweet Pepper F1 (49.23 SPAD units) at control followed by “Yolo Wonder” (41.53 SPAD units) at control. Maximum dry biomass was found in California Wonder (0.468 g) at 1.5 dSm-1, while minimum value of dry biomass (g) was observed in Kaka F1 (0.095 g) at 4.5 dSm-1. Six cultivars of capsicum were categorized into three groups. Salt tolerant cultivars included “California Wonder” followed by “Yolo Wonder”. “Kaka F1” was proved most salt sensitive and all others were moderately salt tolerant.
