De Trás-os-Montes aos pampas uruguaios: os homens e seus (indissociáveis) arredores
Authors: Lima Francisco Ferreira de
Published: March 2018

A paisagem, ensina Michel Collot, não é apenas um ponto de vista. O vê-la é só o ponto de partida para o vivê-la, para o habitá-la, o que resulta em verdadeiro exercício de poder. Tomada como extensão do eu, a paisagem, na sua habitação e vivência, autoriza a inscrição de todos os comportamentos possíveis e imagináveis naquilo que se dá a ver como totalidade recortada, pois agora o homem “é inseparável dos seus arredores”. E, independente do modo que se apresenta, estejam onde estiverem seus horizontes, seja nas montanhas pedregosas de Trás-os-Montes de Miguel Torga ou no descampado do pampa uruguaio de Mario Arregui, a paisagem molda, modela e castiga seu LEGUA E MEIA copia.indd 82 17/11/2014 22:48:45 Légua & meia: Re v i s ta d e Li t erat ura e Di v ersida de Cu lt ura l, a. 13, n o 6, 2014 83 vivente, ao tempo em que é moldada, modelada e castigada por ele, como se uma não fosse sem o outro.

Em torno da casa-grande: o caso Gilberto Freyre
Authors: Pereira Elvya Ribeiro
Published: March 2018

A obra de Gilberto Freyre traz uma clássica marca de polêmica: a confluência de reflexão e estilo, de pensamento e linguagem. Tal perspectiva geralmente desperta críticas positivas e negativas, ora sendo vista como agregação de forças complementares, buscando-se no estilo uma espécie de suplência às limitações teóricas ante a complexidade dos fatos; ora sendo condenada em nome da clareza e da objetividade científicas, considerando-se a expressividade estética como subterfúgio ou mascaramento crítico/ideológico. Neste artigo, discutem-se aspectos da produção e da recepção da obra de Gilberto Freyre, destacando-se o processo da mestiçagem na construção de uma identidade nacional e a confluência ciência e arte.
Personas – Vínculos familiares no filme Jogo de Cena
Authors: Longo Vieira Lima Mirella Márcia
Published: March 2018

Este artigo analisa o filme Jogo de Cena, dirigido por Eduardo Coutinho, ao passo em que este dialoga com obras literárias, como de Carlos Drummond de Andrade e Machado de Assis. Analisamos como ocorre o processo de desvelamento e exposição para várias mulheres, sob uma perspectiva crítica capaz de perceber como Jogo de Cena reedita, em nova versão, o anseio de conhecimento e representação da realidade social do país, uma das marcas do diretor. Resistentes, mas sem idealismos, boa parte das experiências femininas relatadas perpassam dor e melancolia, e em grande medida reverberam lacunas deixadas pelo Estado brasileiro.

A cobertura da morte de figuras públicas na imprensa portuguesa: contributos para uma categorização das personagens mediáticas
Authors: Mota Joana Margarida Martins
Published: March 2018

A morte de figuras públicas assume relevância para os media, dada a presença dos valores-notícia da morte e da notoriedade. No entanto, não basta que se verifiquem estes critérios, para que estejamos perante um grau de noticiabilidade estanque. A partir do estudo da morte de 20 figuras públicas, chegámos a diferentes tratamentos por parte dos três jornais diários selecionados – o Correio da Manhã, o Diário de Notícias e Jornal de Notícias. Concluímos, pois, que a maior ou menor noticiabilidade se prende, quer com o estatuto da personalidade, quer com o posicionamento editorial do meio de comunicação social e ainda com algumas contingências do período em que ocorre o acontecimento. Assim, propomos a categorização das figuras públicas, cuja morte foi alvo de cobertura mediática, com base no estudo dos diferentes estatutos de personalidades, como heróis, mitos, celebridades, estrelas e fama, alguns dos quais diretamente dependentes dos media e, outros, oriundos dos estudos narrativos.

Authors: Kamal Samia Ahmed , El-Rahman Hassan Randa Abd
Published: March 2018

Some strains of Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) are endemic in Egypt. The present study was performed on cattle and buffaloes (ages: 3 months up to 1.5 years old, of years 2015 and 2016), which were suffering foot and mouth disease (FMD). Sera and tissues samples were tested by different techniques including serum and virus neutralization tests (SNT, VNT), virus isolation and identification by tissue culture methods, Enzyme linked immune-Sorbent Assays (ELISA); and by the pathological and hematology techniques. The results showed the predominance of FMDV serotype O with the presence of serotypes SAT2 and A. The results showed the pathologic picture of FMD was similar regardless its specific subtypes, as apparently the studied strains produces same pathological and hematological changes. Microscopic examination reveals severe hydropic degenerations and necrosis in most affected organs, accompanied by significant changes in blood parameters which indicate severity and direct effects of FMDV on the hematopoietic system. These findings indicates the mode of pathogenesis of FMD virus in its way to exhibits the characteristic symptoms of illness. However, the investigation showed the presence of FMDV type O, A and SAT2 in the studied areas of delta governorates. It is important to focus on producing of vaccines which have only these serotypes as solution to get rid of the endemic behavior of FMDV in delta of Egypt.

Published: March 2018

To enhance the digestion rate of a landfill leachate in the anaerobic packed bed reactor, a natural zeolite and sugarcane bagasse fly ash (BFA) were tested as the immobilization media. In order to scale up this process and systematically optimize the reactor performance, a kinetics model was needed. The suitability of the Contois and Haldane growth kinetic models were tested on the experiment data. It turned out that Contois gave the best fit for both acidogenic and methanogenic steps. A statistical analysis on Contois kinetic parameters using the Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that, in comparison with the BFA, the zeolite, as an immobilization media, showed more positive effects on the performance of the anaerobic digestion of a leachate.

Published: March 2018

Cellulose from abundant newspaper waste could be transformed into methane through anaerobic fermentation. This research was carried out to compare the gas production including methane between samples containing feces and waste paper mixture as inoculum and substrate, respectively and added with and without BS4 enzyme. The enzyme was produced in Indonesian Research Institute of Animal Produce (IRIAP) by growing Eupenicillium javanicum BS4 in coconut meals. There were three treatments,  i.e., 30% manure (M30); 15 %  manure + 15 % paper waste  (MP 30); MP30 + 3 mL BS4 enzyme equal to 0.42 U/g dry matter (MPE30) The percentage of waste papers addition in feces was calculated on dry matter (DM) basis and every treatment had five replications. Total gas and methane productions were measured weekly, while dry matter losses were determined during 5 week fermentation. Interactions between treatments and incubation time were analyzed using completely randomized design each week. Kind of substrates influenced both total gas and methane productions during incubation time. Both waste papers and enzyme addition enhanced gas production. The highest total gas and methane productions for five weeks incubation were highly significantly observed (P<0.01) in MP30 and MPE30 compared to M30. Addition of enzyme significantly increased total gas and methane productions in the first week. The highest methane and total gas yield/g dry matter were obtained by BS4 enzyme addition. It was concluded that BS4 enzyme is good in accelerating and increasing the transformation efficiency of waste paper and manure mixture for biogas production.

Characteristic morphology and genetic variability of Benggala grass (Panicum maximum cv Purple guinea) through gamma ray irradiated on acid land
Authors: Fanindi Achmad , Sutjahjo S. H. , Aisyah S. I. , Purwantari N. D.
Published: March 2018

The induction mutation using gamma rays is one way to increase the diversity of Bengggala grass (Panicum maximum). Diversity is the main base in selecting to produce varieties of Benggala grass on acid land. The aim of this study is to know the morphological character and genetic diversity of grass that received gamma rays. The research was conducted in the Tenjo district, Bogor which has pH 4.9-5.5 and the content of Al-dd 2.26 c mol/kg with Al saturation of 10.68%. The study started by looking for Benggala grass radio sensitivity, then from radio sensitivity determined radiation treatment dose of 200 Gy, 250 Gy, 300 Gy and 350 Gy. Treatment of radiation dose is acute and fractionated, so there are 8 treatment doses plus control (plants without radiation). The variables measured were plant height, stem height, stem diameter, length of segment, leaf length, leaf width, fresh weight, dry weight, and number of tillers. The results showed that the radio sensitivity of Benggala grass produced in the form of lethal doses (LD) LD 20 and LD50 is 176.83 Gy and 358.23 Gy. By the mathematical equation: Y = 44.22 + 45.91 X Cos (0.0042x -0.07). The morphological character of M1 shows that the radiation dose affects the measured variable. 300 Gy fractionated radiation dose (150 Gy x 2) results in higher fresh weight of the plant. While in the generation of M1V1 radiation dose of 250 Gy produces high fresh forage weight. Medium to high heritability with GVC value (criteria of coefficient of genetic variability) is high enough until high is obtained on the character of the number of tillers, fresh weight and dry weight. So it is possible to do next selection on these three characters.

Authors: Herawati Tati , Priyanto Dwi
Published: March 2018

Path analysis of the regression equation can be used to see the direct and also indirect influence of some exogenous variables against endogenous variables. The rate of feed technology adoption as an endogenous variables can be directly or indirectly influenced by some exogenous variables. The purpose of this research was to test multiple exogenous characteristics variables of dairy cows farms against the feed technology adoption rate as endogenous variables, through path analysis. Research conducted in the city of Padang Panjang, West Sumatra in particular farmer group of dairy cattle in 2016. Endogenous variable is the level of adoption of feed technology (Z). Whereas the exogenous variables are the level of education (X1), the age of farmer (X3), the amount of cow's lactation (X2), farm scale (Y1) and milk production (Y2). The last two variables are variables which are bridging the influence indirectly. Obtained results showed that only X3 which directly influenced Z, with a value of ρZx3 = 0.834 and P = 0.018. Other variables X1 and X2 partly significantly influenced Y1 and X2 significantly influenced Y2 with value of path coefficient in successively ρy1x1 = 0.133 and P = 0.040; ρy1x2 = 0.982 and P = 0.000; ρy2x2 = 0.841 and P = 0.008. Therefore, there was no special model of causal relationships between the empirical variables X and Y against Z, except the X3 which had structure model Z = ρZx3 X3 + ρZε2 = 0.834 X3 + 0.217 ε2. It was concluded that the age strongly influenced the feeding technology adoption. The older the age of farmers, the more difficult for adopting recommended technology.

Even though there was a variation in the four quarters of udder, Murrah buffalo calve had the highest (P>0.05) value of score, echogenicity, and PAR area compared to the Swamp buffalo.
. Serotype detection, molecular characterization and genetic relationship study on Pasteurella multocide local isolate
Authors: Prihandani Sri Suryatmiati , Noor Susan M , Kusumawati Asmarani
Published: March 2018

Pasteurella multocide is a bacteria that causes snoring disease or Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (HS) in Indonesia with high mortality and morbidity in heterogeneous species including cattle as a source of animal products with high economic value. The complexity of conventional and biochemical identification is a major obstacle in the detection of this disease because P. multocide has five serotypes A, B, D, E and F, while serotype B is the leading cause of HS cases in Asia including Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a research that can determine the serotype and molecular characterization and genetic study of five isolates of P. multocide from Lampung and Kupang by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. After PCR was performed on specific genes, capsular genes, 16S rRNA genes, sequencing and analysis using Bioedit, BLASTn, CLUSTALW and MEGA7.0.25, it was found that the five isolates were divided into two serotype groups: A and B. Isolate P. multocide (code: PMc) from Lampung is high homolog with ATCC isolate 12945, so it can be used as a positive control serotype A in the detection of other P. multocide isolates with PCR. Whereas, isolate P. multocide from Kupang can be used as positive control of serotype B because it is identical to P. multocide PMTB2.1 (CP007205.2) from Malaysia that is isolated from buffalo infected by HS.
Cytokines profile of mice infected by high and low virulences of Indonesian T. evansi isolates
Authors: Sawitri Dyah Haryuningtyas , Wardhana April Hari , Wibowo Heri
Published: March 2018

Surra in livestock is caused by Trypanosoma evansi, a homoflagella blood protozoa that circulate in extracellular. This disease is widespread in Asia, Africa, South and Central America. According to the immunological aspect, the severity of surra in livestock and mice which infected by trypanosoma is associated with an inflammatory response. On the other hand, the survival time of mice depends on the regulation of Th1 synthesis and proinflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ and TNF-α. The aim of this study was to observe the responses of proinflammatory cytokines IFN γ, TNF-α and anti-inflammatory IL-10 which result from interaction with parasites. This information is needed for improvements in the management of prevention of Surra in animals. A total of 30 mice were divided into 3 groups. The group was infected with a low virulency T. evansi (Pml287); high virulence (Bang87) respectively and one group was not infected as control. Mice sera were collected in every 4 days for cytokine measurement using an Enzyme Link-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The result showed a difference response of proinflammatory and antiinflammation cytokine profile between the infected mice by isolates Bang 87 and Pml 287. Early deaths in mice infected by Bang 87 isolate were suspected as a result of the response of systemic inflammation syndromes characterized by elevated IFN-γ levels that were not adequately compensated by anti-inflammatory. Anemia contributes to the cause of death in mice that support multiple organ failures (multiple organ disfunction).

Published: March 2018

Corn cob contains high fiber and lignin which causes low nutritive value. The objective of the study was to improve the digestibility of ammoniated corn cob (CC) by supplementation of molasses and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA: valine, leucine and isoleucine). CC was processed by addition 3% urea. The first stage of in vitro test was done with 4 levels of molases 0, 5, 10 and 15% of dry matter (DM) of CC. The experiment was carried out using complete randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The second stage was also in vitro study of supplementation of two levels each for valine = V, leucine = L and isoleucine = I namely 0.1 and 0.2% of DM of ammoniated CC. There were 8 treatments combination of the BCAA as follow: A = V0.1 L0.1 I0.1; E = V0.2 L0.1 I0.1; B = V0.1 L0.1 I0.2; F = V0.2 L0.1 I0.2; C = V0.1 L0.2 I0.1; G = V0.2 L0.2 I0.1; D = V0.1 L0.2 I0.2; H = V0.2 L0.2 I0.2 and 1 control (V0.0 L0.0 I0.0). The experiments were done using completely randomized design with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The results showed that treated CC with urea was able to increase protein content by 78% (increased from 3.34% to 5.95%) while neutral detergent fiber (NDF) decreased by 15.4%, acid detergent fiber (ADF) by 7.9% and lignin 16.7%. Addition of molasses in ammoniated CC increased DM digestibility (P <0.05) by 7.5% (41.9 vs 43.51-46.26%) and NDF by 17.7% (38.41 vs 43.76 – 46.31%). Supplementation of BCAA resulted in the highest DM, OM and NDF digestibility (P <0.05) in the treatment of A, C, D and G. Compare to treament I, the digestibility of DM, OM and NDF in G treatment increased by 31.4%, 27.5% and 36.5%, respectively and produced the highest total population of rumen bacterial of 12.4 x 109 colonies /ml. It can be concluded that the digestibility of ammoniated CC increased by the supplementation of 5% molases and BCAA combination consisted of 0.2% valine, 0.2% leucine and 0.1% isoleucine.

Authors: Ginting Simon P. , Simanihuruk Kiston , Antonius Antonius , Tarigan Andi
Published: March 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth of and feed utilization by Boer x Kacang crosses goats fed on total mixed ration differing in protein and energy levels. Four total mixed rations combination were formulated to contain 16 and 18% crude protein and 2650 and 2850 Kcal ME/ kg DM (dried matter) energy density. Twenty-eight male Boer x Kacang crosses goats (14.5 ± 1.14 kg) and of age ranging from 4 to 5 months were randomly allocated to one of these four TMRs (total mixed rations) (7 animals/TMR). The effects of dietary treatment were assessed using the general linear model and significance of the diet effects was detected using Duncan’s multiple range test. Dry matter intake increased as metabolizable energy density of diet increased from 2650 to 2850 Kcal/kg DM, but it is not affected by increasing crude protein level from 16 to 18%. The average daily gains were not improved (P>0.05) as the crude protein levels and metabolizable energy density of diet increased. Crude protein levels and ME density did not affect (P>0.05) the DM, OM and energy digestibility, but NDF digestibility was affected by the ME density of diets (P<0.05). Daily N intakes were greater (P<0.0%) in goats received diets higher in the crude protein and metabolizable energy levels. At this high rate of feed intake this type of goats are able to gain optimally when offered feed with crude protein level of 16% and metabolizable energy density of 2850 Kcal/kg DM.

Published: March 2018

The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of partial or full substitution of mulberry leaf meal for concentrate mix on performances of Tigray highland lambs. Thirty intact yearlings Tigray highland male lambs (average initial body weights of 17.8±0.95 kg) were separated into 6 groups based on their live weight with each groups assigned 5 treatment diets (RCBD), that are: T1: 300 g concentrate mix alone, T2: 225 g concentrate mix + 86.55 g mulberry leaf, T3: 150 g concentrate mix + 173.1 g mulberry leaf, T4: 75 g concentrate mix + 259.7 g mulberry leaf and T5: 346.2 g mulberry leaf alone. The treatments diets were designed in such a way that concentrate mix was progressively replaced by mulberry leaf meal from 0% to 100% at iso-nitrogenous level. Lambs were adapted to experimental diets for 15 days, and after adaptation period, feeding trial was conducted. Results reveal that complete substitution of concentrate mix by mulberry leaf meal showed in higher (P<0.05) total dry matter, organic matter, NDF and ADF intake than the sole concentrate mix. The growth performance parameters resulted comparable across all the treatment diets. The slaughter weight and empty weight resulted higher (P<0.05) in sole mulberry leaf meal as compared to the whole concentrate mix supplemented lambs. On the other hand, the dressing percentage on empty body weight base and hot carcass weight showed less difference (P>0.05) across the different treatments. Therefore, mulberry foliage could potentially be used to replace concentrate mix as a feed supplement for the small holder farmers in Ethiopia.

Published: March 2018

The purpose of enzymes supplementation in feeds is to improve nutrient digestibility through degradation of anti-nutrition and crude fiber, which are commonly found in rice bran. The aim of the study was to see performance response of PMp broiler ducks to the supplementation of BS4-enzyme levels in rice-bran based rations. Two hundred and twenty four day-old ducks were allocated to 8 dietary treatments with 4 replicates, consisted of 7 ducks in each replicate. The composition of the feed treatments arranged as follows: T1 to T4 were rations with 30% of rice bran content with enzyme levels of 0, 50, 100, and 150 Unit/kg rice bran respectively. T5 to T8 were rations with 60% of rice bran content with the same enzyme levels as for T1 to T4 treatments. The ducklings were subjected to the treatments for the first four weeks. The variables observed were feed intake, weight gain and FCR. The results showed that the supplementation of BS4-enzymes on rice-bran based rations significantly affected (P<0.05) feed intake and FCR, but not for weight gain (P>0.05). The most effective rations for feed consumption and FCR of PMp broiler duck were obtained on T4 treatment resulting in the highest body weight gain of 998 g/bird and lowest FCR of 2,64. It was concluded that the supplementation of 150 Unit/kg of BS4 enzyme in 30% rice-bran diet was the best combination level to be implemented in feeding PMP broiler ducks for the first four weeks period.

The agriculture land including farmland is decreasing caused by conversion to industrial area and settlement, therefore post-mining area is used to be farmlands. The utilization of post-mining area causes serious health problem in animals and humans due to heavy metal waste pollution (Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, and Pb). Efforts to overcome the pollution of heavy metals on farms can be carried out by preventing and controlling waste in post-mining and industry areas. There are several mycoremediation methods to recover heavy metal polluted land such as biosorption, bioaccumulation, bioprecipitation, bioreduction, and bioleaching. Mycoremediation is a process to remove pollutants or heavy metals from soil using potential fungi (Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp, Fusarium sp, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Mycoremediation is chosen due to economical cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

En este trabajo se describe la resistencia de una población Rhipicephalus  microplus resistente al fipronil 1% (ECTOLINE®) en condiciones de  campo en el este de Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Las pruebas fueron realizadas a modo de réplicas  en dos establecimientos: “Establecimiento A” y “Establecimiento B”. En el Establecimiento A las diferencias en los niveles de  infestación con garrapatas entre los grupos tratado y control nunca fueron estadísticamente significativas. Los porcentajes de eficacia oscilaron entre 27,3% y 69,3%. En el Establecimiento B las diferencias entre los grupos tratado y control fueron significativas, con porcentajes de eficacia aumentando de 87,6% el día 2 post-tratamiento a 95,4% el día 7 post-tratamiento. Las tasas de eclosión de los huevos originados de las teleóginas colectadas de los grupos tratados y control en el Establecimiento A fueron similares. La aplicación de fipronil 1% en el Establecimiento B tuvo una eficacia global prácticamente absoluta, porque si bien la eficacia terapéutica no alcanzó el 100%, la viabilidad reproductiva de las teleóginas obtenidas de los bovinos tratados fue nula. Los resultados del presente trabajo constituyen el primer registro publicado de una población de R. microplus resistente al fipronil 1% en condiciones de campo en Argentina.

The objective of this study was to determine leucocyte and offspring production of guinea pig (Cavia cobaya) giving Anredera cordifolia leaf extract. Materials used were female 16 heads of guinea pig with body weight of 425g. The treatments were an extract of A. cordifolia leaf at doses of 0, 10, 50 and 90 mg/head, designated as T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. A. cordifolia leaf extract was administered orally from 10 days prepartum to 10 days postpartum. Blood was taken at 10 days prepartum and 10 days postpartum. Total birth of the offspring was observed. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and if there was effect of treatment, then continued with Duncan multiple range test and Chi-Square test for fetal production between the given A. cordifolia leaf extract and control. The result showed that there was no significant difference for 10 days prepartum after addition of A cordifolia leaf extract treatment. The postpartum treated showed a total 50 mg/head level increaed for monocytes than that of level 0, 10 and 90 mg/head. Ten days postpartum treatment showed the total increase for leucocyte and monocytes total were 50 and 90 mg/head, respectively compared to 10 mg/head level. Total lymphocyte of 90 mg/head increased compared to level 10 and 50 mg/head. The highest total neutrophil as found at level of 50 mg/head which increased compared to the level of 0 and 10 mg/head. ProvisioningA. cordifolialeaf extract at doses level of 50 and 90 mg/head could increase litter size (P<0.05; χ2=9.267) and decreased offspring mortality (P<0.05; χ2=6.4). In conclusion, by giving 50 mg/head A. cordifolia leaf extract could increase leucocyte profile and offspring production of guinea pig.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the quality of post thawing spermatozoa of buffalo frozen semen produced by artificial insemination centers on standard values, and proposed reference values (PRV). Materials of the research were 60 samples of straws obtained from three Artificial Insemination Center, which are each 20 straws, respectively. Parameters observed were motility, concentration, longevity, plasma membrane integrity (PMI), acrosome integrity (AIn) and recovery rate. The obtained data were tested by Z test then presented as mean ± standard deviation. The research results from three artificial insemination center showed that motility mean was 45.00±3.07%, concentration mean was 26.09±3.11 x106 cells/0.25mL, longevity mean was 10.38±0.75%/hour, PMI mean was 45.86±10.67%, AI mean was 73.99±5.28% and recovery rate mean was 64.38±5.16%. The conclusions of this research were the motility and concentration mean were higher than Indonesian National Standard (INS), longevity mean was lower than Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (DADF) standard but PMI and AIn mean were higher, the mean value of recovery rate was higher than of proposal value.

Published: March 2018

Carers of persons with borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience high burden. Treatment guidelines advocate involving carers in comprehensive therapy approaches. This study is a randomized controlled trial of group psychoeducation, compared to waitlist. Group psychoeducation involved 6–8 carers per group and focused on improving relationship patterns between carers and relatives with BPD, psychoeducation about the disorder, peer support and self-care, and skills to reduce burden. Carers were randomized into intervention (N = 33) or waitlist (N = 35). After 10 weeks, those in the intervention reported improvements in dyadic adjustment with their relative, greater family empowerment, and reduced expressed emotion, sustained after 12 months. There were also improvements in carers' perceptions of being able to play a more active role, such as interacting with service providers. This study demonstrates that providing structured group programs for carers can be an effective way of extending interventions to a group experiencing high burden.
Borderline Personality Disorder: Associations Between Dimensional Personality Profiles and Self-Destructive Behaviors
Authors: Kolbeck Katharina , Moritz Steffen , Bierbrodt Julia , Andreou Christina
Published: March 2018

Ongoing research is shifting towards a dimensional understanding of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Aim of this study was to identify personality profiles in BPD that are predictive of self-destructive behaviors. Personality traits were assessed (n = 130) according to the five-factor model of personality (i.e., Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness) and an additional factor called Risk Preference. Self-destructive behavior parameters such as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and other borderline typical dyscontrolled behaviors (e.g., drug abuse) were assessed by self-report measures. Canonical correlation analyses demonstrated that Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness are predictors of NSSI. Further, Neuroticism, Agreeableness, and Risk Preference were associated with dyscontrolled behaviors. Our results add further support on personality-relevant self-destructive behaviors in BPD. A combined diagnostic assessment could offer clinically meaningful insights about the causes of self-destruction in BPD to expand current therapeutic repertoires.
Propuesta de implementación de un sistema de gestión ambiental, articulado con el “SIGME” del Ministerio de Minas y Energía
Authors: Barros Orozco Manuel Orlando
Published: March 2018

Este proyecto de investigación presenta una propuesta para la implementación de un sistema de gestión ambiental en el Ministerio de Minas y Energía basado en el cumplimiento de los requisitos establecidos en la norma ISO 14001:2015. El proceso investigativo se enmarca dentro de los conceptos del pensamiento sistémico, la gestión ambiental y la integración de los sistemas de gestión. Para la elaboración de la propuesta fue necesario, en primer lugar, efectuar  una revisión ambiental inicial, bajo los parámetros de la GTC 93, en segundo lugar, con los resultados obtenidos de la revisión ambiental, se establecieron las brechas entre lo que pide la norma y lo que actualmente tiene la entidad, para que en último lugar se pudiera construir una propuesta que se ajuste al contexto del Ministerio de Minas y Energía. Esta propuesta tiene un alcance a las actividades que se desarrollan en el ámbito administrativo, tales como el mantenimiento, aseo, gestión del parque automotor y sobre todo, las actividades de oficina que generan consumos de energía y agua, y que a su vez, producen residuos.

Authors: Cantillo Carrillo Yorcelis Yudith , Toledo Polanía Yina Bolena
Published: March 2018

La investigación aquí tratada corresponde a un estudio cualitativo aplicado a nivel empresarial en la capital del Caquetá para establecer una línea base de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) a la luz de la norma ISO 26000, Guía sobre responsabilidad social. Esta guía, aplicable a todo tipo de organización, orienta sobre cómo integrar el comportamiento socialmente responsable, dentro de las estrategias, sistemas y procesos institucionales, a través del desarrollo de principios y materias fundamentales de RSE. Fueron estos los principales aspectos a evaluar en una muestra de 37 organizaciones del sector productivo de Florencia, mediante encuestas realizadas a gerentes y directivos, así como por medio de la observación de evidencias de gestión. El estudio, que siguió la metodología planteada por Medianero Burga (2011) para la realización de una línea de base, identificó prácticas de RSE emprendidas por las organizaciones y estableció el nivel de desarrollo de dichas acciones. Los resultados obtenidos dejan ver que, a pesar de un evidente interés por parte de los directivos de las empresas, el desarrollo de la RSE en Florencia es incipiente, pues se limita a acciones que nacen de la obligatoriedad de la ley o, en el mejor de los casos, hacen parte de las mismas estrategias de las empresas.
Hátrányos helyzetű tanulók szociális és érzelmi intelligenciájának vizsgálata az Arany János tehetséggondozó programban

Háttér és célkitűzések

Kutatásunk annak a kérdésnek a megválaszolására irányult, hogy egy középiskolai, ötéves komplex tehetséggondozó programba beválogatott hátrányos helyzetű, alacsony szocioökonomiai státusszal bíró tanulók szociális és érzelmi intelligenciája mutat-e eltérést a náluk egyébként kedvezményezettebb helyzetben lévő társaikétól, és ha igen, miben.

Módszer

Kutatásunk során a SZEMIQ (Oláh, 2005b) szociális érzelmi intelligencia tesztet használtuk. Különös figyelmet fordítottunk az érzelmek akarat útján történő szabályozásának a képességére, tekintettel arra, hogy ez kiemelt jelentőséggel bír az önmegvalósítás és az élettel való elégedettség pszichés jellemzőinek megjelenésében, amelyek pedig a tehetséghasznosulás szempontjából kiemelt pszichés jellemzők (Bar-On, 1997, 2001, 2006).

Eredmények

Eredményeink szerint a Hátrányos Helyzetű Tanulók Arany János Tehetséggondozó Programjában (AJTP) és a kontrollcsoportban a tanulók érzelmi és szociális intelligenciája között minimális a különbség. Az AJTP-s fiatalok szignifikánsan sikeresebbek a kapcsolatok építésében, nyitott, együttműködő egyének. Nemi különbségek ugyanakkor a programban való érintettségtől függetlenül kimutathatók. Leginkább a lányokra jellemző, hogy higgadt, kiegyensúlyozott természetűek, énerejük átlagon felüli. A fiúk konstruktív megküzdést alkalmaznak, kevésbé félnek a kihívásoktól, valamint pozitívabb önértékeléssel bírnak. Következtetések: Eredményeink alapján javasoljuk a hátrányos helyzetű tehetségesek fejlesztését vállaló programok szakemberei, pedagógusai, számára a tehetséges gyerekek szociális és érzelmi intelligenciájának a célirányos fejlesztését.
Kötődés, gyermeki arcpreferenciák és a szexuális imprinting
Authors: Gyuris Petra , Kocsor Ferenc , Bereczkei Tamás
Published: March 2018

Háttér és célok

Az utóbbi években számos olyan kutatási beszámoló jelent meg, amely a szülők külső megjelenésének társas vonzódásra gyakorolt hatását vizsgálták felnőttek esetében. Jelen tanulmány célja megvizsgálni e jelenséget gyerekek esetében.

Módszer

Vizsgálatunkban számítógépes program segítségével kompozit arcokat módosítottunk úgy, hogy a kísérletben részt vevő 3 és 14 év közötti gyerekek szüleire hasonlítsanak. A képekből tablókat készítve a gyermekeket szimpátia alapján történő választásokra kértük meg. A gyerekek szüleikkel való kapcsolatát a Düss-mese teszttel, illetve az IPPA kérdőívvel vizsgáltuk.

Eredmények

A 11–14 éves gyermekek esetében azt találtuk, hogy az anyai elidegenedés alacsony foka, azaz a jó kapcsolat növelte az anyához hasonló kortárs választásának valószínűségét. Ez különösen a fiúkra igaz. Az óvodás és alsó tagozatos fiúknál a szülővel való jó kapcsolat ugyancsak fokozta annak esélyét, hogy az anyához hasonló gyermekarcot szimpatikusabbnak találják a kontrollnál. Ezzel ellentétben az ebbe a korosztályba tartozó lányoknál a jó kapcsolat csökkentette az anyához hasonló arcok választását.

Következtetések

Ezek az eredmények azt sugallják, hogy a gyermekkorban szerzett tapasztalatok hatással vannak a gyermekek arcpreferenciáira, s ezek felnőttkorra is megmaradhatnak, befolyásolva az interperszonális döntéseket. Ennek egyik megjelenési formája lehet, hogy a felnőttek különböző szociális kapcsolataikban (például párválasztáskor) előnyben részesítik a szüleikhez hasonlító ellenkező neműeket. Mindennek hátterében evolúciós hatásokat sejtünk, azonban a vizsgálatunk során az egyes korcsoportok között talált különbségek arra utalnak, hogy a kognitív fejlődés sajátosságai is jelentős szerepet játszhatnak ezeknek a preferenciáknak a kialakulásában.
