Development of synbiotic added sucrose-free mango nectar as a potential substrate for Lactobacillus casei: Physicochemical characterisation and consumer acceptability during storage
Authors: Alizadeh A. , Aghayi N. , Soofi M. , Roufegarinejad L.
Published: June 2021

The study was carried out to evaluate the viability of probiotic bacteria as well as physicochemical and sensory characteristics of synbiotic added sucrose-free mango nectar. The mango nectar samples were prepared incorporating different concentrations of inulin and stevia (0, 2 and 4% w/w) and stored for 45 days at 4 °C. The results indicated that the growth of Lactobacillus casei was strongly influenced by the beverage composition. Therefore, the addition of inulin and stevia had a positive effect on the viability of L. casei, especially with 2% w/w inulin or inulin in combination with stevia. However, bacterial viability reduced during storage. According to the results, pH and total soluble solid content of the samples decreased during storage; however, the viscosity values of mango nectars were elevated by the addition of inulin and stevia. Additionally, all beverages were considered a suitable medium to keep the L. casei survival above the minimum recommended value (106–107 CFU mL−1) during storage. In general, it can be concluded that the sample containing 2% inulin and 2% stevia in combination provided the best viability of L. casei with acceptable physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics that could be introduced as synbiotic and low-calorie mango nectar.
Small mammals from the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests of the Huallaga river basin and new records for San Martín department, Peru
Authors: Ruelas Dennisse , Pacheco Victor
Published: June 2021

The Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests in Peru are well known for their bird and plant diversity and endemicity, but little is known about the diversity of small mammals. We report the diversity of small volant and non-volant mammals from the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests of the Huallaga river basin in the San Martín Department, working on both sides of the river, making a sampling effort of 3060 traps-night for non-volant and 104 mist nets-night for volant mammals. We recorded 29 species, including five marsupials, three rodents, and 21 bats. Among the bats, phyllostomids were the most diverse group with 16 species. Short-tailed Spiny-rat, Proechimys brevicauda (Günther, 1877) and Seba's Short-tailed Bat, Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758), featured the highest relative abundance. In addition, we report the first records for the San Martín Department of Peropteryx macrotis (Wagner, 1843), Saccopteryx bilineata (Temminck, 1838), Lonchorhina aurita Tomes, 1863, Vampyriscus bidens (Dobson, 1878), and Myotis simus Thomas, 1901. The species richness and diversity indices indicate the study site has a high diversity value; however, fragmentation and rapid changes in land-use are the main threats faced by the biodiversity of these dry forests.
Ethylene oxide sterilization of electrospun poly(l-lactide)/poly(d-lactide) core/shell nanofibers
Authors: Neffe Axel T. , Zhang Quanchao , Hommes-Schattmann Paul J. , Lendlein Andreas
Published: June 2021

The application of polymers in medicine requires sterilization while retaining material structure and properties. This demands detailed analysis, which we show exemplarily for the sterilization of PLLA/PDLA core–shell nanofibers with ethylene oxide (EtO). The electrospun patch was exposed to EtO gas (6 vol% in CO2, 1.7 bar) for 3 h at 45 °C and 75% rel. humidity, followed by degassing under pressure/vacuum cycles for 12 h. GC–MS analysis showed that no residual EtO was retained. Fiber diameters (~ 520 ± 130 nm) of the patches remained constant as observed by electron microscopy. Young’s modulus slightly increased and the elongation at break slightly decreased, determined at 37 °C. No changes were detected in 1H-NMR spectra, in molar mass distribution (GPC) or in crystallinity measured for annealed samples with comparable thermal history (Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering). Altogether, EtO emerged as suitable sterilization method for polylactide nanofibers with core–shell morphology.

Degradation kinetics of oligo(ε-caprolactone) ultrathin films: Influence of crystallinity
Authors: Saretia Shivam , Machatschek Rainhard , Lendlein Andreas
Published: June 2021

The potential of using crystallinity as morphological parameter to control polyester degradation in acidic environments is explored in ultrathin films by Langmuir technique. Films of hydroxy or methacrylate end-capped oligo(ε-caprolactone) (OCL) are prepared at the air–water interface as a function of mean molecular area (MMA). The obtained amorphous, partially crystalline or highly crystalline ultrathin films of OCL are hydrolytically degraded at pH ~ 1.2 on water surface or on silicon surface as-transferred films. A high crystallinity reduces the hydrolytic degradation rate of the films on both water and solid surfaces. Different acceleration rates of hydrolytic degradation of semi-crystalline films are achieved either by crystals complete melting, partially melting, or by heating them below their melting temperatures. Semi-crystalline OCL films transferred via water onto a solid surface retain their crystalline morphology, degrade in a controlled manner, and are of interest as thermoswitchable coatings for cell substrates and medical devices.

A Critical Analysis of Imam Rabbani Ahmad Sirhindi’s Doctrines on Sufism
Authors: Chowdury Saeyd Rashed Hasan , Göktaş Vahit
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study is to present an analysis of the teachings and ideals of the life and thought of Imam Rabbani Ahmad Sirhindi’s followers inspires the Muslims of the present world to pursue the path of truth, welfare, and justice. We tried to collect data from secondary sources and found that various superstitions entered Sufism when many non-Islamic issues permeated Islam. Imam Rabbani has made tireless efforts in writings and discourses through Sufism to return Islam to its original purity. He was awarded the title of “Reformer of the second millennium” because he first introduced Islamic thought in the history of the Indian subcontinent. On the other hand, Imam Rabbani taught the Waḥdat al-Shuhūd doctrine by criticizing the Waḥdat al-Wujūd doctrine introduced by Ibn ‘Arabī. As he continued the pure tradition of religion by subverting the superstitions of sharia in Islam, he established “Mujaddidiya Tariqa” in the spiritual world and coordinated the sharia-tariqa in Sufism. However, the outcome of our research shows how Imam Rabbani builds equality of status, love, and fraternity and instructs people through Sufism to respect the religion, emotions, and practices of others.
Morphological Features of Soils in the Yelshanka River Floodplain Under Conditions of Urbotechnopedogenesis
Authors: Gordienko Oleg , Manaenkov Igor , Agapov Ilya
Published: June 2021

The river system on the territory of Volgograd is represented by eight small rivers. Currently, in the territory of Volgograd there is an active inclusion of valley and floodplain landscapes in the urban area. Under conditions of the anthropogenic impact, the normal regime of valley and floodplain landscapes is disturbed. As a result of changes in the hydrological regime of floodplains and valleys, various morphological transformations of soil cover occur, such as the formation of specific iron and carbonate new formations, etc. As a result of economic activities, modern alluvial soils and sediments are often buried under the thickness of the anthropogenic material. The relevance of the study is due to the high recreational value of valley and floodplain landscapes. The authors analyze 6 soil profiles set up in different parts of the Yelshanka river floodplain. The description of soil sections was performed with the use of the Field Qualifier of Soils of Russia. Soil profiles were named in accordance with the Russian Soil Classification and Diagnosis (2004) and the Field Qualifier of Soils of Russia (2008). In Volgograd, as in most cities in Russia and abroad, the study of soils of floodplain landscapes is not systematic, and in some cases is limited to a certain area of research. The purpose of the work was to monitor the morphological state of the floodplain soil cover of the Yelshanka River in order to determine the degree of soils transformation in the area as a result of urbotechnopedogenesis. The studies conducted at the site allow considering that the urban soils of recreational areas are a consequence of the combined effect of zonal natural and climatic and urbanogenic factors of soil formation. Studies of soils of floodplain landscapes in the urban environment make it possible to monitor the state of natural landscapes and their transformation in conditions of urbotechnopedogenesis, as well as the development of the ecological framework of the city.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the health promotion competency domains, performed by nurses, for adolescents, according to the Galway Consensus. Method: a qualitative study based on the Galway Consensus theoretical methodological framework. Fifteen nurses from northeastern Brazil participated. Data were collected between April and May 2017 through pre-structured interviews, submitted to the content analysis technique and analyzed according to the Galway Consensus dimensions. Results: the following competency areas were found: catalyzing changes, leadership, needs assessment, planning, implementation, and partnerships. These competencies were contemplated from embracement of adolescents at health unit, guidance, teamwork, educational activities and lectures, as well as active search. Conclusion: most health promotion domains were observed; however, it is still suggested that there are challenges to an effective performance of health promotion among adolescents because some competency domains in health promotion have not been evidenced.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe characteristics of pregnant women at risk and analyze the relationship with type of delivery and complications during pregnancy and puerperium. Methods: a retrospective study with secondary data of 1,574 at-risk pregnant women followed up in an educational intervention by telemedicine. Results: pregnant women with an average age of 35 years and high educational level participated. Preference for normal delivery was 43.1%, but only 17.3% had normal delivery. During pregnancy, 43.5% sought emergency care. In the postpartum period, 2.0% needed an ICU. Emergency room search was associated with age and contacts with the intervention. Cesarean delivery was associated with age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity. ICU admission was associated with age and BMI. Conclusion: pregnant women were of high age and education, the younger and who had more contacts with the intervention sought more the emergency room. Older age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity were factors associated with cesarean delivery.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: Reflect on the evolution of pediatric nursing care from the perspective of emotions, from the conceptions of Florence Nightingale to the present. Method: Reflective study based on theoretical and experiential aspects of emotional care in pediatric nursing. Results: From Nightingale, there were many definitions regarding the nursing care in an integrative and humanist logic; and with certain bond to emotional dimension. That time, nursing care was based on the religious conceptions of charity and love of our neighbor and, despite the conceptualization that shapes nursing science today, such conceptions have not ceased to be its attribute, mainly in the care of pediatric nurses. Final considerations: In pediatric nursing, nurture care with affection and facilitate emotions management in each interaction nurse-child-family is crucial for caring. This emotional care should evolve into a competence that recognizes the expertise and merit of professional action.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand how information about Planned Home Birth motivates or discourages women’s decisions on this location of birth. Method: Descriptive exploratory study, qualitative approach. Data collection carried out from February to April 2019, through semi-structured interviews with 14 women and documentary sources. The data were analyzed using Bardin’s content analysis process, with the help of ATLAS.ti 8.0. Results: The motivations for choosing Planned Home Birth are: respect for the autonomy and natural process of childbirth and delivery, support from a partner and trust in professionals. Aspects that discourage this choice are fear of complications, the need for a hospital medical structure, opinions that value risk. Conclusion: Women’s choices are based not only on information, but also on how that information is processed. This study demonstrated that the perception pertaining to the safety of Planned Home Birth is essential for making this decision.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the Health Care Network (dis)articulation of late and moderate premature infants in the first year of life. Method: a qualitative study with semi-structured interview, which addressed the care network constitution in a municipality in southern Brazil. Fifteen mothers of infants participated. Thematic content analysis and flowchart were used to describe networks and services. Results: first contact in Primary Health Care is a decisive factor for the recognition and articulation of neonates/infants in the network and enables resolution, especially in childcare demands. Secondary and hospital care services support isolated acute events or chronic conditions, without articulation between levels of care and in a uniprofessional way. Final considerations: attention to health conditions is organized and structured in a uniprofessional, fragmented and disjointed way, which makes it impossible to form a Health Care Network premature infants’ perspective.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: to know innovative pedagogical experiences developed by professors in the teaching of psychiatric nursing and mental health in undergraduate nursing courses at public universities in Rio de Janeiro State. Method: based on an ethnomethodological approach, individual semi-structured interviews and document analysis were carried out according to content analysis. Results: despite the heterogeneity in the curriculum distribution of psychiatric nursing’s and mental health’s knowledge, the themes taught have similarities. The perceptions of innovation are mainly related to interdisciplinary practices and teaching, relational, and care technologies. Innovative teaching practices are focused on the use of active methodologies and collaborative activities. Final considerations: innovating teaching requires creating strategies to teach people how to care for people, valuing human uniqueness. Student participation in health services is the key to the dialogue between knowledge produced in academia and that mobilized in health services.

EN TORNO A LA MATERIALIDAD DE LAS IMÁGENES Y SUS SATURACIONES AFECTIVAS
Authors: Flores Pedro Eduardo Moscoso
Published: June 2021

RESUMEN El presente escrito propone un aporte a la discusión sobre el estudio contemporáneo de las imágenes, problematizando la potencia que estas contienen en torno a sus condiciones materiales. A partir de una discusión teórica, proponemos mostrar que el olvido de la composición material de las imágenes, propia de los regímenes visuales contemporáneos, conlleva un desconocimiento de sus potencias dinámicas procesuales, relacionales y abiertas, minimizando con ello su capacidad afectiva e imaginativa. En contraste con lo anterior, referiremos a la necesidad de emprender un análisis que considere las imágenes como cuerpos que comparten espacios con otros cuerpos, tanto humanos como no humanos, habilitando de este modo potencias imaginales del pensamiento en torno a los posibles ensamblajes contingentes de los que ellas participan.
IMAGINATION, RELIGION, LANGUE Trois vecteurs de la révolution pédagogique fichtéenne des Discours à la Nation Allemande
Authors: Tangorra Manuel
Published: June 2021

RESUMÉ Si l’éducation a pu trouver sa place dans le noyau anthropologique des Lumières philosophiques, c’est dans la mesure où elle permettait l’intellection d’un horizon universel pour le genre humain. Fortement influencé par cette matrice conceptuelle dans sa jeunesse, Fichte va être cependant le témoin des limites de ce paradigme pédagogique à l’heure de saisir les processus historiques d’apprentissage collectif. L’hypothèse qui anime cet article identifie dans Les Discours à la Nation Allemande une réflexion pédagogique qui fait de l’éducation le travail d’activation des potentialités créatives d’une société pour construire, depuis sa situation affective et existentielle, sa propre destinée commune. Dans un contre-point avec la conceptualisation kantienne et à travers trois dimensions fondamentales de la révolution pédagogique des Discours (Imagination, Religion et Langue), nous aspirons à montrer comment Fichte dépasse le plan des conditions formelles de l’éducabilité et propose un savoir sur la genèse effective de l’apprentissage dans l’immanence de l’autodétermination des sujets historiques.
O OUTRO TAMBÉM PODE TER RAZÃO - PARA ALÉM DE ELE TER APENAS SEUS DIREITOS RECONHECIDOS
Authors: Rohden Luiz
Published: June 2021

RESUMO Este artigo constitui um desdobramento da reflexão sobre a Hermenêutica enquanto ética tecida em torno da cunhagem, da descrição e da fundamentação da expressão Eu Hermeneuticus, que trata o outro como fim em si mesmo e não como um objeto. Aqui, sob a égide do pressuposto gadameriano segundo o qual “o outro não somente tem também um direito, mas talvez também pode ter razão”, pretendo evidenciar e justificar a centralidade da alteridade na teoria e na práxis da hermenêutica filosófica. A compreensão filosófica erige-se sobre o exercício de reconhecimento dos direitos aos direitos do outro, mas também sobre as razões dos seus argumentos, exercício que gera implicações éticas importantes em termos pessoais e sociais, como mostrarei. Com isso, viso mostrar e fundamentar a face e a função ética da hermenêutica filosófica com escopo de sedimentar o projeto de uma Hermenêutica Ética.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Cross breeding of native fish species is a technique to produce hybrids that can express higher weight gain and feed efficiency compared to the parental species. The digestible threonine requirement in diets for tambatinga fingerlings (Colossoma macropomum ♀ x Piaractus brachypomus ♂) was determined in this study. For this, 700 fingerlings with an average initial weight of 2.39 ±0.02 g and average final weight of 35.96 ±2.03 g were distributed in a completely randomized design consisting of six treatments (0.600, 0.800, 1.000, 1.200, 1.400, and 1.600% digestible threonine) and five replicates per treatment, with 20 fish per experimental unit. Diets were formulated by the “diet dilution” technique using the ideal protein concept. Performance, feed efficiency, body depositions of protein, ash and fat, and nitrogen retention efficiency of the fish were evaluated. The digestible threonine levels that optimized weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio were 1.40, 1.27 and 1.10%, respectively. Body deposition of fat was reduced in a quadratic manner (p<0.01), and the body depositions of protein and ash, together with the efficiency of nitrogen retention, were optimized by the digestible threonine level of 1.20; 1.33, and 0.82%, respectively. The recommended digestible threonine level in the diet for tambatinga fingerlings is 1.20 to 1.40% (0.40 and 0.47% Mcal DE-1) to obtain higher body deposition of protein and weight gain, respectively.

Published: June 2021

Abstract Galls, neo-formed plant structures that can occur in different organs, are generated by species-specific interaction with an inducing organism. Inducers manipulate the metabolism of its host. Microgramma vacciniifolia (Langsd. & Fisch.) Copel. is a Neotropical epiphytic fern that hosted two stem galls, one induced by a midge species (Diptera) and other by a micromoth species (Lepidoptera). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of these two gall-inducing insects on the biochemistry of phenolic acids and the cyanogenesis in galls, stems and leaves of M. vacciniifolia. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) indicated a total of 14 phenol derivatives, including caffeic and coumaric acid. Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) of the phenolic substances indicated three groups consisting (1) non-galled stems and micromoth-induced galls; (2) midge-induced galls; (3) midge-induced galls with parasitoids. Regarding the frequency of cyanogenesis assessed by the picrate paper test, the chi-squared test showed significant difference between fertile leaves (8.3%), sterile leaves (27.7%), non-galled stems (0%) and galls. Among galls, only the midge-induced galls analyzed were cyanogenic (15%). Our results indicated that the different gall-inducers (midge and micromoth) promote species-specific alterations to the phenolic substance composition of the host fern.
Spatio-temporal variability in the Cladocera assemblage of a subtropical hypersaline lagoon

Published: June 2021

Abstract Cladocera represent an important zooplankton group because of their seasonal prominence in terms of abundance and their contribution in controlling primary production (phytoplankton). On a global scale, there are few studies on Cladocera in hypersaline environments. The present work aims to evaluate the spatio-temporal variation of the Cladocera assemblage across a salinity gradient in the habitats of the Araruama Lagoon. Samples were collected in random months over a period of four years at 12 fixed stations in the Araruama Lagoon using a WP2 plankton net equipped with a flow meter. Our results do not reveal significant influence of the tide and seasonal variation as factors affecting the Cladocera assemblage. Five Cladocera species were found in the Araruama Lagoon, only in stations 11 and 12 where they reached an average of 1,799 ± 3,103 ind. m-3. The mean of the Shannon Diversity Index was 0.45 ± 0.2. The species that stood out in terms of frequency and abundance were: Penilia avirostris (frequency of occurrence: 71%), followed by Pseudevadne tergestina (41%). The same species also stood out in terms of relative abundance, Penilia avirostris (87%) and Pseudevadne tergestina (11%). The absence of Cladocera in the innermost parts of the lagoon suggests that their entrance to these locations is possibly inhibited by the salinity and temperature gradient of the lagoon, being the main factors influencing the dynamics of the Cladocera assemblages.
Reproductive diseases in captive Agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina)
Authors: Jones K. R. , Lall K. R. , Garcia G. W.
Published: June 2021

Abstract Reproductive diseases have been well documented in domestic livestock such as sheep, goat, cattle and pigs. However, there is very little information on these diseases in the agouti (Dasyprocta leporina). The agouti is used for its meat in South America and the Caribbean. More recently, intensive farming of this animal is being practiced in the Neotropics. There is dearth of information on dystocia and vaginal prolapses in the agouti. This document reports on three cases of reproductive diseases in captive reared agoutis in Trinidad and Tobago. The first case was a female agouti weighing approximately 3 kg that was in the last stage of pregnancy, which was found dead in its cage. The vulva of the mother had the protruding hind-limbs of the fetus. Necroscopic evaluation of carcass revealed little fat tissue and the mother had two fetuses in the right horn of the uterus. Each fetus weighed approximately 200 g. The fetuses were well formed with fur, teeth and eyes. The placenta was attached to each fetus. The pathological findings suggested that dystocia resulted from secondary uterine inertia which was the cause of death of the adult female agouti. The second case was that of an adult female agouti weighing 2.5 kg. This female had given birth to an offspring three weeks prior and was observed to have had a vaginal prolapse. Surgery was performed and the prolapsed vagina was placed back into the pelvic cavity. Further to this intervention, the vagina prolapsed twice. Subsequent to the re-insertion of the vaginal tissue the agouti was euthanized. The third case was also that of a dystocia. However, the fetuses weighed 235 g and 165 g respectively and were in normal presentation, posture and positioning. The fetus however was unable to pass via the vagina and was trapped in the pelvic cavity. This caused secondary uterine inertia which was the cause of death. The causes of reproductive diseases in these cases are unknown but the feeding management and space allowance given to the agouti in late gestation may be contributing factors.

Abstract Viral hepatitis are widely spread infectious diseases caused by a variety of etiological agents that displays liver tropism as a common characteristic. A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study was conducted through the analysis of viral hepatitis medical records treated and diagnosed from 2010 to 2015. The relationship between the variables were made through the chi-square test. 632 viral hepatitis medical records were analyzed. The highest number of cases happened in 2011. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection was predominant. The most affected age group was < 20 years and the highest number of cases observed in this age group was related to HAV (p<0.001). The acute clinical form was predominant, with 70.2% of the cases. 92.3% of which corresponded to HAV infection (p<0.001). Most of the cases occurred in the brown race and male gender. Moreover, regarding the probable source/mechanism of infection, the contact with suspicious water/food for hepatitis A cases was highlighted. The sexual form predominated in HBV infection and previous history of blood transfusion in cases of hepatitis C. Most cases were spotted in the mesoregion of Eastern Alagoas, especially in the capital Maceió. It must be observed the importance of knowing the profile of this disease in order to understand its dissemination and thus have subsidies for the creation of actions and strategies to combat the infection.

Abstract Among the plants defense mechanisms, the induction and emission of volatile organic compounds, which can be used to attract natural enemies, such predators insects. Although well studied, the induction of plant volatiles that attract natural enemies can vary according to intensity of infestation of herbivores and the species of host plant. We investigated the olfactory behavioral responses of the predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to the volatiles of infested maize (Zea mays) plants by the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch, 1836) (Acari: Tetranychidae) in early and advanced infestations. The Bt (Viptera) maize cultivar Impact® was used for tests the behavior of N. californicus. After initial and advanced infestations, the phytophagous mites T. urticae were removed, and the plants were tested using a “Y” olfactometer. The following treatments were evaluated: air vs. air, uninfested plants vs. air, uninfested plants vs. plants infested with 10 females of T. urticae, uninfested plants vs. plants infested with 100 females of T. urticae, uninfested plants vs. plants infested with 200 females of T. urticae and plants infested with 10 vs. plants infested with 200 females of T. urticae. The predatory mite N. californicus did not show preference to the treatments tested, suggesting that maize plants infested by T. urticae do not induce volatiles capable of attracting the predatory mite N. californicus. We concluded that N. californicus is not attracted by maize plants infested by T. urticae.

Abstract Oncideres females girdle tree branches of the Fabaceae family, interrupting the sap flow and turning the wood conditions ideal for their larvae development. The bark of Stryphnodendron adstringens (Mart.) Coville, a species native to the Brazilian Cerrado, is widely used in the traditional medicine. The objectives were to report, for the first time, Oncideres saga (Dalman), using S. adstringens as a host and to describe the pattern of branch girdling and oviposition distribution by this insect on these branches. The diameter at the base and the length of the girdled branches were measured and the number of incisions made by the O. saga females to oviposit, per branch section (basal, median and apical), counted. The emerged specimens were counted and the diameter of the exit holes measured. The average diameter at the base of the girdled branches was 2.5 ± 0.16 cm and the length was 90.6 ± 4.6 cm. The average number of incisions per branch was 37.7 ± 2.7. Damage by O. saga can reduce the growth and cause losses on S. adstringens, a tree with great extractivism potential.,
Checklist and contribution to the knowledge of the odonatofauna of Paraíba state, Brazil

Published: June 2021

Abstract: We present the first listing of odonatan species (Insecta: Odonata) that occur in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. There are 49 species and 29 genera registered, making Paraíba the third in number of species among the Brazilian states of northeastern region. The families with the largest number of species were Libellulidae, with 31 species and 15 genera, followed by Coenagrionidae with 11 species and 7 genera. Interior regions of the state are under-sampled, which should still lead to an underestimated number of species. In addition, we present taxonomic notes of two species collected during our expeditions: males of Progomphus dorsopallidus Byers, 1934 and females of Macrothemis griseofrons Calvert, 1909. Here, we detail important characteristics and present figures to aid their morphological identifications.

Authors: Follador Silvia Rodrigues
Published: June 2021

Resumo: A partir de um estudo de caso preliminar, neste artigo analisa-se uma iniciativa de impacto social cujo foco é a capacitação profissional de mulheres na área de programação. A {reprograma} é uma organização sem fins lucrativos que oferece cursos gratuitos a mulheres de baixa renda desempregadas. Discute-se em que medida tais atividades permitem o desenvolvimento de uma ‘consciência de gênero’ e como o tema se reflete na experiência profissional das participantes. O artigo parte da hipótese de que as desigualdades de gênero na área de programação podem ser superadas por meio de iniciativas como a {reprograma}, que incentivam não apenas o desenvolvimento de capacidades para uma atuação profissional qualificada, mas também a oportunidade de promover mudanças neste mercado de trabalho.
E se o voto fosse facultativo? Expectativas de participação eleitoral voluntária no Brasil e o papel do status socioeconômico
Authors: Aguiar Natália Nunes , Casalecchi Gabriel
Published: June 2021

A associação positiva entre status socioeconômico (SSE) e participação eleitoral é amplamente apontada, embora os mecanismos dessa relação sejam pouco explorados. Apesar de o voto obrigatório ser visto como mitigador dos efeitos do SSE sobre o comparecimento e de sua abolição ser frequentemente proposta, o hipotético comparecimento eleitoral voluntário é pouco discutido no Brasil. Através de regressões logísticas e equações estruturais, utilizamos dados do Eseb 2014 para avaliar se o voto facultativo tenderia a ampliar a desigualdade socioeconômica entre eleitores e abstentes, bem como para explorar mecanismos de ação do SSE sobre o voto. Os resultados sugerem que a relação entre fatores socioeconômicos e a participação eleitoral voluntária hipotética é, em grande medida, indireta, sendo mediada por variáveis individuais de engajamento político – especialmente o interesse por política.
A mobilização cívica e política na era das redes sociais: uma análise da ação de movimentos sociais no Facebook
Authors: Sousa João Carlos , Morais Ricardo
Published: June 2021

Neste artigo analisa-se o papel do Facebook como ferramenta articuladora de práticas cotidianas no seio dos movimentos sociais, quer na sua organização interna, quer na comunicação e interação com elementos externos. A metodologia mista implementada passa por: análise de conteúdo das páginas de Facebook dos oito movimentos estudados e realização de seis entrevistas presenciais com ativistas. Os resultados principais revelam que existe uma forte ancoragem dos movimentos ao quadro político mais amplo de crise social e política e de intervenção da Troika, assumindo como principal objetivo a sua contestação. Embora bem-sucedidos na mobilização da população portuguesa, a verdade é que o fulgor mobilizador se circunscreveu no tempo. O modelo construído revelou-se robusto e flexível, o que possibilita a sua replicação em pesquisas futuras no âmbito da sociologia política.
EL LUMBALÚ Y LAS MUJERES TEJEDORAS DE LO ESPIRITUAL Y COMUNITARIO
Authors: Parra-Valencia Liliana , Chavez Emilia Andrea León , Jaramillo Gutiérrez Leidy Giovanna , Galindo Dolores , Fernandes Saulo Luders
Published: June 2021

Resumen Este artículo, de naturaleza teórica, aborda el Lumbalú, una práctica fúnebre de matriz africana en San Basilio de Palenque (Colombia). Se trata de una forma de grupalidad curadora, como potencial terapéutico con el que cuentan algunas comunidades para contener la experiencia emocional; ámbito de estudio en el que se enmarca el presente artículo. El Lumbalú es expresión de la resistencia afrodiaspórica, que conecta con lo sagrado y donde las mujeres son las hiladoras del tejido espiritual y comunitario. Invitamos a las disciplinas psicológicas y a las Ciencias Sociales y Humanas a la apertura epistemológica y descolonial hacia otras formas comunitarias de comprensión de la muerte, en contextos de guerra, violencia política, neoliberalismo y racismo, en Améfrica.
Sed ego te narrationibus lepidis anilibusque fabulis protinus avocabo: las vetulae como transmisoras de sabiduría en la Antigua Roma

Published: June 2021

Resumen Este artículo muestra el papel de las vetulae o ancianas como transmisoras de sabiduría en la antigua Roma. Partimos de las aniles fabulae, historias de carácter femenino con objetivo de entretener, analizando sus características principales, su funcionalidad y los espacios en los que se narran. A continuación, analizamos el papel de la vetula como narradora, el cual encaja con el estereotipo de anus cotilla de las fuentes literarias, pero también con la noción de las personas ancianas como sabias y depositarias del patrimonio cultural y de la memoria familiar.
Feminismo de mercado: um mapeamento do debate entre feminismos e consumo
Authors: Januário Soraya Barreto
Published: June 2021

Resumo O presente artigo parte do debate sobre a mercantilização das bandeiras feministas pela publicidade. Tendo em vista o acirramento do uso dos discursos dos feminismos pelo mercado nos últimos anos, a pesquisa busca explorar e mapear as reflexões sobre representatividade das mulheres na mídia, empoderamento feminino e sobre o processo de comoditização dos feminismos. Com efeito, reflito em torno dos debates acadêmicos que intersectam as áreas de saber dos estudos do consumo e dos feminismos, bem como dos discursos e das práticas publicitárias. Para tal, dialogo criticamente com a noção de “feminismo de mercado”, apontando, à luz da pesquisa bibliográfica, potencialidades e lacunas. Por fim, apresento algumas sugestões de possíveis práticas e reflexões que podem auxiliar na análise crítica em torno da mercantilização do discurso feminista.
Uma análise interseccional de gênero e raça sobre as medidas adotadas em prol da eficácia da CEDAW no Brasil
Authors: Kyrillos Gabriela M. , Stelzer Joana
Published: June 2021

Resumo Partindo do conceito da interseccionalidade, a presente pesquisa analisa as ações do Estado brasileiro em prol da concretização da Convenção sobre Eliminação de Todas as Formas de Discriminação contra a Mulher (CEDAW). Tais ações foram apresentadas nos Relatórios que o Brasil enviou ao Comitê CEDAW (1984-2014). Esses documentos, organizados via análise de conteúdo, revelaram que a postura nacional tem sido de ignorar os elementos interseccionais das discriminações, mesmo quando diante de chamados específicos do Comitê CEDAW. A metodologia foi pura, dedutiva e descritiva.
