Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT The relevance of using technology for the rational destination of waste from a wide range of human activities is imminently paramount. In this context, between September 2014 and January 2015, in Mossoró, RN, Brazil (5º 11' 31" S; 37º 20' 40" W), the present work was conducted to evaluate strategies for the utilization of landfill leachate as source of water and nutrients in agriculture. For this, castor bean plants (Ricinus communis L.), cv. BRS Energia, cultivated in eutrophic Red Yellow Argisol, were subjected to irrigation depth application strategies, namely: initial application of leachate corresponding to 20, 40, 60 and 80% of the irrigation depth and subsequent application of the remaining water depth percentage using public-supply water, plus one control, which consisted of irrigation with public-supply water + mineral fertilization recommended for the crop. These treatments were set in randomized blocks, with four replicates, totalizing twenty experimental plots. Mineral fertilization resulted in more expressive biometric responses at the beginning of the cycle; however, at the end, treatments based on leachate led to results, including of production, compatible with the control, especially plants irrigated with the 20% irrigation depth.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate nitrogen losses by NH3 volatilization and quantify the upward and downward NO3- flows in Latosol cultivated with arabica coffee. An experiment was set in 2010, in Viçosa-MG, Brazil (20º 41’ S and 42º 48’ W), in a randomized block design in a (3 x 2) + 1 factorial arrangement with three nitrogen doses (200, 400 and 600 kg ha-1), two forms of urea (conventional and NBPT urease inhibitor-treated) and one additional treatment without nitrogen fertilization, with four replicates. Semi-open type chambers were installed to quantify NH3 volatilization. To determine the concentration and flow of NO3- a soil solution extractor was installed in each plot at a 1-m depth together with three tensiometers at depths of 0.90, 1.00 and 1.10 m. Nitrogen losses by volatilization were 3.51 and 11.21% for NBPT-treated urea and conventional urea, respectively. The rainfall (1172 mm), its distribution and the dose strongly influenced the losses by leaching. Urease inhibitor-treated urea led to higher risk of groundwater contamination with NO3-. Returns of NO3- occur in periods of drought, but it is not possible to state if this NO3- can be used by the plant because, under these conditions, the soil has low moisture content, which may compromise the absorption.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Plukenetia volubilis is a species native to the Amazonia and has economic potential due to the high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins of the seeds; however, information about production of seedlings in nursery is scarce. Factors that contribute to fast emergence and generation of vigorous seedlings are desirable for plant production in the nursery. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the most favorable substrate and seed position for the production of P. volubilis seedlings. The seeds were sown in the following four positions: hilum facing up, hilum facing down, seed lying on its cotyledon suture, and seed lying flat on one of its cotyledon faces. The substrates were sand, vermiculite and commercial substrate. Treatments were distributed according to a completely randomized design in a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement (seed position and substrate) with three replicates of 25 seeds each. The following variables were evaluated: emergence percentage; first count of seedlings; number, width and length of leaves; plant height; stem diameter; dry matter of shoots and roots. It was concluded that the production of P. volubilis seedlings is not affected by either substrate or seed position at sowing. The substrates most favorable to the quality of P. volubilis seedlings were the commercial substrate and vermiculite, always for the positions of seed lying on its cotyledon suture, with faces parallel to tube walls, and seed lying flat on one of its faces.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation depths on productive performance and yield response of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.). A field trial was carried out in the experimental area of the Meteorological Station of the Federal University of Ceará, CE, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with six treatments and four replicates. The treatments adopted were: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180% of the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), estimated by Penman-Monteith (EToPM) and applied by drip irrigation. Fruit weight, number of fruits, fruit length, fruit diameter, pulp thickness, soluble solids and yield were analyzed, as well as water use efficiency (WUE). The methodology proposed by FAO Bulletin 33 was used to calculate the yield response factor (Ky). The 567 mm irrigation depth equivalent to 159% EToPM led to the maximum total crop yield estimated at 24,808 kg ha-1. Highest WUE (64 kg mm-1) was found for the total irrigation depth of 186 mm (30% ETo). Ky values indicated that the crop could be considered as little sensitive (Ky < 1) to water deficit (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% of the optimal water depth), tending to be proportionally sensitive (Ky = 1) to more severe water deficits (30, 60 and 90% EToPM).

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT This study aimed to produce microcapsules using ‘jabuticaba’ byproduct through lyophilization, and evaluate the stability of the powder, intended for use in gelatin. Three formulations were prepared, including the pure lyophilized extract (E), capsule with maltodextrin (CapM), and capsule with maltodextrin and xanthan gum (CapMG). The storage stability was evaluated at 4 and 25 ºC, and in the presence and absence of light, regarding color parameters, phenolic compounds and monomeric anthocyanins. The microencapsulated powders were applied in gelatin and analyzed for sensorial acceptance. Following an investigation of the storage stability of the three powders at 4 °C for 60 days, the sample that presented the best result was then analyzed at 25 ºC in the presence/absence of light. Microcapsules, independent of the encapsulant agent, exhibited lower values of degradation (2.82% phenolic compounds and 14.5% monomeric anthocyanins) than extract E when exposed to light and at 25 °C. Regarding color stability, CapMG showed smaller variations in the total color difference (ΔE) than the other samples. The lowest ΔE value corresponded to the gelatin sample with CapM, stored in the absence of light. It is possible to conclude that microencapsulation is an alternative for the preservation of ‘jabuticaba’ byproduct extracts, facilitating their use, retaining some compounds and protecting them against adverse conditions.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to perform foam-mat drying of yellow mombin pulp, verifying the kinetics and mathematical modeling of the process, and characterizing the obtained product with respect to physical and chemical characteristics, compared with the fresh pulp. Foam-mat drying was carried out with the aid of the foam agent Emustab®, at temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80 °C. The drying data were analyzed and fitted to four mathematical models (Wang & Singh, Verma, Page and Midilli). Effective diffusion coefficient and activation energy were determined. Titratable acidity, pH, soluble solids content and vitamin C content, as well as the solubility in water of yellow mombin powder and color variance (L*, a*, b*) were analyzed in both fresh and dehydrated pulp. The Wang & Singh model showed best fit at the temperature of 50 °C, whereas the Midilli model showed the best mathematical fit at temperatures of 60, 70 and 80 °C. Net diffusion coefficient and activation energy values were proportional to the drying temperature. Drying of the foam at 60 °C indicated guarantee of quality of yellow mombin pulp with respect to titratable acidity, pH and color of the a* coordinate.

Published: June 2018

Resumo O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a eficácia da ivermectina a 2% em equinos, através de exames coproparasitológicos e hematológicos. O experimento foi realizado em uma fazenda no município de Uberlândia, MG. Foram utilizados 24 equinos, de três a oito anos, divididos em dois grupos, conforme valores dos OPG. Contagens de OPG e coproculturas foram realizadas nos dias D0, D+7 e D+14. Os animais foram tratados com a formulação pasta a base de ivermectina 2%, na dose de 200 mcg/kg, via oral. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos dias D0, D+7 e D+14 para avaliação dos parâmetros hematológicos. A presença de ovos, característicos da família Strongylidae e identificação de larvas características de ciatostomíneos demonstrou o parasitismo dos animais por pequenos estrôngilos. Nos D+7 e D+14 houve a redução significativa do OPG no grupo tratado com eficácia de 99,5 e 99,7%, respectivamente. Observou-se tendência do quadro eritrocitário manter-se próximo aos limites inferiores e discreta leucocitose com neutrófilos próximos dos valores superiores. Pode-se inferir que a ivermectina é eficaz contra os ciatostomíneos e alterações hematológicas significativas não foram observadas.

ABSTRACT Genome-wide selection (GWS) uses simultaneously the effect of the thousands markers covering the entire genome to predict genomic breeding values for individuals under selection. The possible benefits of GWS are the reduction of the breeding cycle, increase in gains per unit of time, and decrease of costs. However, the success of the GWS is dependent on the choice of the method to predict the effects of markers. Thus, the objective of this work was to predict genomic breeding values (GEBV) through artificial neural networks (ANN), based on the estimation of the effect of the markers, compared to the Ridge Regression-Best Linear Unbiased Predictor/Genome Wide Selection (RR-BLUP/GWS). Simulations were performed by software R to provide correlations concerning ANN and RR-BLUP/GWS. The prediction methods were evaluated using correlations between phenotypic and genotypic values and predicted GEBV. The results showed the superiority of the ANN in predicting GEBV in simulations with higher and lower marker densities, with higher levels of linkage disequilibrium and heritability.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the interaction of microorganisms and phosphorus dosages in the development of gliricidia. The experimental design was completely randomized with six treatments (control, native microbial inoculant, and four arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi isolates: UFLA05 - Gigaspora albida, UFLA351 - Rhizoglomus clarum, UFLA372 - Claroideoglomus etunicatum, and UFLA401 - Acaulospora morrowiae), with four replicates. The parameters evaluated were: height plant, the number of branches, shoot and root dry mass matter, root length and volume, leaf phosphorus, mycorrhizal colonization, the number of spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, the number of nodules of nitrogen fixing bacteria, and the presence of endophytic dark septate fungi, after 95 days of inoculation. The high mycorrhizal colonization of gliricidia does not guarantee an increase in biomass, which depends on the interaction of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, the endophytic dark septate fungi, the nitrogen fixing bacteria, and the endophytic bacteria. Gliricidia was responsive to the inoculation of the native microbiota, UFLA372 and UFLA401. Mycorrhizal colonization by UFLA401 was influenced by the presence of nitrogen fixing bacteria. Gliricidia was not responsive to the inoculation of UFLA05 and UFLA351. The presence of the endophytic dark septate fungi did not inhibit mycorrhization and the formation of nodules of nitrogen fixing bacteria in gliricidia.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT The interference imposed by weeds can cause damages to cassava development. Thus, adopting control measures is fundamental. The use of pre-emergence herbicides is one of the control alternatives, since cassava presents a good tolerance to herbicides applied in this modality. However, herbicides may present differential selectivity due to the variety of cassava that is planted. The objective of this study was to evaluate both weed control effectiveness and selectivity of different herbicide combinations applied at pre-emergence of two cassava varieties. Two experiments were established in the field using a randomized complete block design, in a split plot scheme, with four replications. In the efficacy experiment, application of six combinations of herbicides, including clomazone + ametryn, clomazone + metribuzin, clomazone + flumioxazin, isoxaflutole + ametryn, isoxaflutole + metribuzin, isoxaflutole + flumioxazin were evaluated in the main plot. In addition, a non-treated control and a weeded control were evaluated. In the subplots, the Caravela and Pretinha varieties were planted. For the selectivity experiment, a non-treated control was not included. The combinations containing clomazone presented a longer residual period of weed control as well as a better control of benghal dayflower. Metribuzin exhibited lower efficacy than other herbicide combinations containing clomazone or isoxaflutole. The Pretinha variety showed greater tolerance to weed interference. Every herbicide combination that was applied in cassava pre-emergence presented selectivity for both Caravela and Pretinha varieties.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chemical treatment of seeds with fungicide and insecticide on the seed physiological quality of Brachiaria brizantha cultivar MG5. Two experiments with four replicates were carried out in a completely randomized design. In the first experiment, the seeds were treated with the fungicide pyraclostrobin + fipronil + thiophanate-methyl and in the second, with the insecticide thiamethoxam, both at doses of 0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 mL of commercial product (CP)/100 kg of seeds. Physiological characterization was done on the basis of the first germination count, germination (%), emergence (%), emergence speed index, and length and dry mass of shoot and root. The treatment of B. brizantha seeds with the fungicide pyraclostrobin + fipronil + thiophanate-methyl benefits the physiological quality of seeds, improving germination and root development, with no phytotoxic effect up to the dose of 600 mL of CP/100 kg of seeds. The insecticide thiamethoxam has a biostimulating effect on B. brizantha cultivar MG5 up to the dose of 270 mL of CP/100 kg of seeds, but is phytotoxic in larger doses.

ABSTRACT The use of wastewater has emerged as alternative to control environmental pollution and a viable option to improved water availability in the arid and semiarid zones. In this study, the effects of irrigation solution with domestic sewage effluent and, of growing substrate on growth of Aroeira seedlings was examined in a greenhouse experiment. The effects of five irrigation solution (Public-supply water, PSW, domestic sewage effluent, DSE and the mixtures of 75% DSE + 25% PSW, 50% DSE + 50% PSW and 25% DSE + 75% PSW) and two growing substrate (75% soil + 25% bovine manure and, 75% soil + 25% coconut fiber) were used in a completely randomized block design, arranged as split plots with three replications for each treatment. The evaluations were made at 30, 60, 90 and 150 days after planting, and the parameters following were measured: stem diameter, shoot height, relationship between height and diameter, shoot/root dry matter ratio, dry matter of the root, shoot and total and, Dickson index. The analysis results indicated that the irrigation solution composed by raw sewage effluent or mixed with Public-supply water increased the growth and improved morphological index of Aroeira seedlings, being the better development found when plant of Aroeira were grown in bovine manure + soil substrate under irrigation with solution containing 100% domestic sewage effluent.

ABSTRACT The semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil is vulnerable to problems of water scarcity and salinity, resulting in low-quality irrigation water and the need to adopt cultivation strategies that make the production system viable. Given the above, this study aimed to evaluate emergence, growth, and production of colored cotton subjected to increasing levels of irrigation water salinity and organic matter doses. The experiment was carried out in a eutrophic Regolithic Neosol with a sandy loam texture in a greenhouse in the municipality of Campina Grande - PB, Brazil. A randomized block design was used in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme with three replicates, and the treatments corresponded to four levels of electrical conductivity of water - ECw (1.7, 3.4, 5.1, and 6.8 dS m-1) and four doses of organic matter - OM (0, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5% based on soil volume). Increasing irrigation water salinity with ECw values above 1.7 dS m-1 reduced emergence, growth, and production of colored cotton, and the cotton seed weight was the variable most affected by salinity. Organic matter addition led to increased cotton growth and production, especially in terms of seed weight. Increasing doses of organic matter attenuated the effect of irrigation water salinity on the number of bolls in ‘BRS Jady’ cotton.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) patients have a high prevalence of cardiovascular mortality, and among the risk factors are dyslipidemia and obesity, common findings in the early stages of CKD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low protein diet (LPD) on the lipid and anthropometric profile in non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods: Forty CKD patients were studied (20 men, 62.7 ± 15.2 years, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 26.16 ± 9.4 mL/min/1.73m2). LPD (0.6g/kg/d) was prescribed for six months and, biochemical and anthropometric parameters like body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and body fat mass (assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry - DXA) were evaluated before and after six months with LPD. Results: After six months of nutritional intervention, patients presented reduction on BMI (from 28.1 ± 5.6 to 27.0 ± 5.3 Kg/m2, p = 0.001), total cholesterol (from 199.7 ± 57.1 to 176.0 ± 43.6mg/dL, p = 0.0001), LDL (from 116.2 ± 48.1 to 97.4 ± 39.1 mg/dL, p = 0,001) and uric acid (from 6.8 ± 1.4 to 6.2 ± 1.3 mg/dL, p = 0.004). In addition, GFR values were increased from 26.2 ± 9.5 to 28.9 ± 12.7mL/min (p = 0.02). The energy, proteins, cholesterol and fiber intake were reduced significantly. Conclusion: LPD prescribe to non-dialysis CKD patients for six months was able to improve some cardiovascular risk factors as overweight and plasma lipid profile, suggesting that LPD can be also an important tool for protection against cardiovascular diseases in these patients.

ABSTRACT Chemical mutagens (e.g. sodium azide and nitrous acid) are important tools in crop improvements because they produce resistance against pathogens in crops to improve their yield and quality traits. This study investigates the morphological and anatomical effects of sodium azide and nitrous acid on Citrullus lanatus and Moringa olefeira at various concentrations (1 mM, 2 mM, 3 mM and 4 mM) for 4 hours, and planted in plastic pots for 12 weeks observations. Results showed that sodium azide and nitrous acid have differential influenced on morphological features (stem height, leaf number and root length) in C. lanatus and M. olefeira respectively. Anatomical features (stomatal density, index and size) are more influenced by the sodium azide-treated plants in both plants than in the nitrous acid-treated plants. Both mutagens are more effective in the two plants than the control.

TWEETSTORMS E PROCESSOS DE (DES)LEGITIMAÇÃO SOCIAL NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO TRUMP
Authors: Koike Dale , Bentes Anna Christina
Published: June 2018

RESUMO: Neste artigo, argumentamos que os processos de (des)legitimação de determinadas práticas de linguagem, temáticas e perspectivas performatizadas pelos tweets do presidente americano Donald Trump consideram fortemente a condição de reflexividade dos atores dos mais diversos campos sociais. Nossa principal hipótese é a de que os tweets de Donald Trump mais repercutidos pela própria imprensa americana e pelos meios políticos são os que buscam legitimar, com base na autoridade pessoal do presidente, práticas discursivas antirreflexivas. De forma a dar conta dessa tarefa, observamos a produção dos tweets por parte de Donald Trump durante um período de 35 dias e classificamos tematicamente essa produção. Os resultados das análises mostram que, apesar de não serem repercutidos pela mídia comercial americana, a maioria dos tweets do presidente Donald Trump, mesmo cumprindo funções prototípicas, de fato legitimam toda uma agenda antirreflexiva.
LEGITIMAÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS CIENTÍFICAS LOCAIS EM FUNÇÃO DE DEMANDAS DE INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO DA UNIVERSIDADE
Authors: Signorini Inês
Published: June 2018

RESUMO: Os objetivos deste artigo são identificar e descrever estratégias de legitimação de políticas científicas voltadas para a internacionalização de uma universidade pública do interior de São Paulo, de 2009 a 2016. O corpus de referência é composto de documentos de divulgação dos discursos oficiais (locais e translocais) sobre o tema, de editais locais para financiamento de pesquisa e de chamadas para cursos e seminários direcionados para a inovação e a internacionalização da pesquisa. Os resultados da análise desse material mostram que as estratégias de internacionalização no período focalizado tiveram também a função de legitimação da gestão e de reprodução do poder institucional e, consequentemente, de reprodução da hierarquização de atores e discursos dentro da instituição. Nessa hierarquização, orientada por critérios e normas próprios dos ranqueamentos internacionais, manteve-se a posição historicamente marginal das ciências humanas, particularmente dos estudos da linguagem nos processos de definição e implementação das políticas locais de internacionalização, inclusive das políticas linguísticas.
Acerca dos processos compensatórios no desenvolvimento da criança mentalmente atrasada
Authors: Vigotski Lev Semionovich
Published: June 2018

Resumo Neste artigo, originalmente apresentado por Vigotski em um congresso em 1931 e posteriormente convertido em texto escrito a partir de anotações taquigráficas, destaca-se a importância dada pelo autor aos riscos de que pesquisas e programas educacionais dirigidos à criança com deficiência focalizem processos biológicos e disfunções primordiais em detrimento de funções psicológicas superiores. Seu argumento principal é o de que processos compensatórios e caminhos indiretos podem promover o desenvolvimento. Tais processos e caminhos relacionam-se com a inserção das crianças em diversos ambientes culturais e são suscetíveis à ação pedagógica. Destaca-se ainda o fato de que, para Vigotski, os objetivos e tarefas da educação especial devem corresponder àqueles da escola regular, isto é, preparar a criança para enfrentar as diversas demandas da vida em sociedade.

Resumen El presente estudio tiene como objetivo modelar un sistema predictivo de retención de los estudiantes de primer año de la Universidad Bernardo O´Higgins - UBO (Santiago de Chile), determinando cuáles de las variables de entrada a la educación superior, ya sean estas académicas, sociales o familiares, se revelan significativas para este análisis. La construcción del modelo de investigación se sustentó en una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica que permitió identificar variables explicativas de la deserción universitaria en el contexto nacional. Luego, a partir de la sistematización de antecedentes socioeducativos de los estudiantes de las cohortes 2014 y 2015 disponibles en los sistemas informáticos de la universidad, se consolidó una matriz tripartita con los datos asociados a las variables que emergieron del análisis de los referentes consultados. Consecuentemente, se analizó la relación de cada una de las variables explicativas del estudio con la variable control deserción estudiantil. El análisis bivariado permitió identificar diecisiete variables, significativamente asociadas con la deserción estudiantil y precisar las relaciones de dependencia con el abandono de estudios. El modelo multivariado predijo en un 86,4 % la conducta de abandono señalando siete variables categóricas independientes que, finalmente, se develan como factores relevantes del modelo predicción. Las variadas y sustentadas interpretaciones entregadas en los resultados del modelo, así como las sugerencias propuestas para mejorar el índice de retención universitaria, entregan un valor directo al estudio dirigido a optimizar uno de los indicadores más importantes vinculados a una gestión de calidad en las universidades, como es, la retención estudiantil.
Procedures for quick estimation of hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils
Authors: Dong Shaoyang , Guo Yuan , Yu Xiong (Bill)
Published: June 2018

This paper describes a heuristic approach that combines a limited number of experimental measurements with the random finite-element method (RFEM) to accelerate significantly the process of measuring the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils. A microstructure-based RFEM model is established to describe unsaturated soils with distribution of phases based on their respective volumetric contents. The intrinsic hydraulic properties of each phase (soil particle, water and air) are applied based on the microscopic structures. The intrinsic permeability of each soil phase is first calibrated from soil measured under dry and saturated conditions, which is then used to predict the hydraulic conductivities at different extents of saturations. The results match closely the experimental data. The pore size parameter was obtained from the variations in hydraulic conductivity with degree of saturation; from this, the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is predicted. The results show that the SWCC estimated matches very well with experimental data. Overall, this study provides a new modelling-based approach to predicting the hydraulic conductivity function and SWCC of unsaturated soils based on measurement at completely dry or completely saturated conditions. An efficient way to measure these critical unsaturated soil properties will benefit introducing unsaturated soil mechanics into engineering practice.

Since the development of the modern concept of chemical stabilisation of soils, geotechnical engineers have attempted to develop methodologies to describe the strength development based on a rational criterion, as in concrete technology, in which the binder content, the water content and/or the void ratio play an essential role. This paper presents a methodology to assess the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) in cement-based stabilised soft soils with a high water content (w > wL). A number of UCS tests were performed on cement-based stabilised Coimbra soft soil and the results obtained showed that the binder content and the liquidity index are fundamental parameters in assessment of the target strength. A simple and expedite method based on normalisation by the liquidity index is proposed. This method was successfully validated for a wide range of chemically stabilised soft soils, subjected to zero or small curing stresses, thus demonstrating its versatility. Applying the generalised relationship of the method, data from only one test condition are required to assess the UCS for other possible combinations of binder content and liquidity index.

Sezai Karakoç’un Şiirinde Tanrı Kavramının Tasavvuf Epistemolojisi Açısından Anlamı ve Kullanımı
Authors: ENSER Ramazan
Published: June 2018

Bu çalışmada modern Türk şiirinde metafizik duyuşu önemli ölçüde şiirinde yansıtmayaçalışan Sezai Karakoç’un, Tanrı kavramının algılanma biçimi üzerinde durulmuştur.Modernite sürecinde hayatın kıyısına itilen Tanrı’nın, Karakoç’un şiirinde tekrar merkezibir konuma yerleştirilmeye çalışıldığı ve insanın, eşyanın, doğanın Tanrı’nın merkezdeolduğu geleneksel anlayışa göre yeniden konumlandırıldığı görülmüştür. Şiirlerde Tanrıanlayışının, daha çok tasavvufun varlık tasavvuru doğrultusunda düşünüldüğü tespitedilmiştir. Varlığın, “mutlak varlık” ve “izafi varlık” olarak ikiye ayrıldığı tasavvufunepistemolojisinin Karakoç’un pek çok şiirinde benzer şekilde kabul edildiği görülmüştür.Çalışmada temel kaynak olarak Karakoç’un Gün Doğmadan adlı toplu şiirleri esas alınmış,kısmen de düşünce yazılarından yararlanılmıştır.

Fâtiha Sûresi’nin Kırâat İhtilâfları Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Akaslan Yaşar
Published: June 2018

Fâtiha sûresi, İslâm’ın ana kaynağı olan Kur’ân’ın
başlangıç kısmıdır ve Müslümanların en fazla okuduğu âyetlerden müteşekkildir.
Bu bağlamda Kur’ân’ın özeti mahiyetindeki sûreyi anlamaya yönelik oldukça geniş
bir literatür dahi teşekkül etmiştir. İslâmî kaynaklara bakıldığında Kur’ân
tefsir edilirken ve ondan hükümler çıkarılırken birçok ilimden istifade
edildiği açıkça görülecektir. Bu ilimlerden biri de kırâat ilmidir. Daha ilk
asırlarda temeli atılan kırâat ilmi, her dönemde Kur’ân çalışmalarında önemli
yer tutmuştur. Kırâat ilmi, özellikle müfessirler için gerekli görülen
ilimlerin başında gelir. Dolayısıyla tefsir müellifleri, eserlerini kaleme
alırken bu ilmi göz önünde bulundurmuşlardır. Bu makalede Fâtiha sûresi,
Kur’ân’ı anlama ve yorumlama faaliyetlerinden biri olan kırâat ilmi açısından
incelenecektir. Bu çerçevede, sûre önce genel hatlarıyla tanıtılacak ve
içerisindeki ihtilâflı lafızlar, sahih kabul edilen ve kabul edilmeyen
kırâatler yönünden tahlil edilecektir.
Mary Daly’nin Ataerkil Hristiyan Tanrı Anlayışı Hakkındaki Eleştirileri
Authors: Turan Mustafa , Duman Hümeyra
Published: June 2018

Kadın varoluşu ve kadının
gerek özel gerekse toplumsal hayattaki konumlandırılışı ilk insanın
yaratılışından bu yana süregelen birtakım sorunları beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu
sorunları çözmek amacıyla pek çok farklı düşünsel akım geliştirilmiştir.
Geliştirilen bu akımlar ataerkil toplum yapısının nasıl oluştuğu, nelere etki
ettiği, kadın üzerinde uygulanan cinsel, dini, politik ve ekonomik baskılar
gibi konularla ilgilenmiştir. İnsanlığın tarihsel gelişimi boyunca bu
baskıların belki de en çok hissedildiği alan din olmuştur. Bu çalışmada,
feminizm akımları içinde son dönem akımlardan biri olan radikal feminizmin önde
gelen temsilcilerinden Mary Daly’nin genelde ataerkilliği özelde Hristiyanlığı
kadın varoluşuna engel olduğu gerekçesiyle eleştiren bakış açısı ele
alınacaktır. Ona göre dinler, ataerki şemsiyesinin altındaki mezheplerden başka
bir şey değildir. Çalışmalarında gezgin bir ruh hali içinde bulunmasını
istediği kadınların aktif bir fiil olarak tanımladığı Tanrı’ya katılmalarının
tek yolunun içlerindeki ataerkil şeytanları kovmak olduğunu söyleyen Daly’nin
feminist teolojisi kadınlara ışık tutacak niteliktedir. Bu çalışmada yazarın Hristiyan
Tanrı anlayışına odaklanılacaktır.

Exploring Teachers’ Resilience in Relation to Job Satisfaction, Burnout, Organizational Commitment and Perception of Organizational Climate
Authors: Demir Polat Deniz , İSKENDER Murat
Published: June 2018

This study is a descriptive research study investigating the relationship of teachers’ resilience levels with job satisfaction, burnout, organizational commitment and perception of organizational climate. Within the scope of the study, teachers’ resilience level was also investigated with regard to its relationship with gender, age, experience and the school level they teach. The study group consisted of 581 teachers. The data were collected through “Personal Information Form”, “The Resilience Scale for Adults”, “Job Satisfaction Scale”, “The Burnout Measure Short Version”, “Organizational Commitment Scale for Teachers” and “The Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire.” The results revealed a significant negative relationship between teachers’ resilience levels and burnout; and significant positive relationships between teachers’ resilience levels and organizational commitment, job satisfaction and perception of organizational climate. As a result of the one way ANOVA analysis regarding the differences between resilience levels of the teachers working at different school levels, it was found out that the resilience level of the teachers working at high schools differ significantly from the ones working at secondary schools in the family cohesion subscale, one of the sub dimensions of resilience. Additionally, resilience levels of the teachers who work at secondary schools were found to be significantly lower compared to the teachers who work at elementary schools and high schools. When the level of resilience was examined in relation to gender, it was concluded that there was no significant difference between the mean scores of the male and female teachers. The only significant difference was found in the perception of self subscale, where the mean scores of the male teachers were higher than the female teachers. There was no significant difference in teachers’ resilience or sub-scales of it in terms of age and experience of the participants.
Estudios sobre procesos educativos en organizaciones y movimientos sociales

Published: June 2018

Los estudios sobre la educación en movimientos sociales en América Latina, se remontan a la segunda mitad de la década de 1980. Sus temas de interés, así como sus claves de comprensión han variado, de la mano de las teorías socioeducativas, pasando de las posiciones más reproductivistas, a unas que acentúan su carácter de resistencia, hasta las actuales, que ven la educación como estrategia de formación de subjetividades emancipadoras e imaginarios instituyentes, que recuperan el sujeto y sus capacidades en la transformación social. El objetivo de este artículo de revisión es hacer un balance del conocimiento producido desde los estudios sobre la relación entre educación y movimientos sociales en torno a las temáticas tales como los sujetos, los sentidos, los contenidos y las estrategias de las prácticas educativas. A partir de un balance de sus aportes al campo en construcción de la pedagogía de las subjetividades emancipadoras y los sujetos sociales, planteamos algunos desafíos para este campo de investigación.

Authors: Cueva Lobelle Alberto
Published: June 2018

Este artículo analiza el modo subjuntivo del español desde una perspectiva multivariable y holística. Específicamente, analiza qué características pragmáticas, semánticas y sintácticas presentan las construcciones con subjuntivo. Para responder la pregunta se analizaron cien construcciones de subjuntivo a la luz de algunos conceptos de la Gramática Funcional de Dik (1997). Los datos fueron analizados a partir de un conjunto de rasgos que se ubicaron en una escala de prototipicidad. La determinación de los rasgos se hizo con base en un análisis preliminar de los datos, con la información reportada en la bibliografía y con base en el modelo teórico adoptado.
