Environmental Desire in The Mill on the Floss
Authors: Hildebrand Jayne
Published: October 2021

Jayne Hildebrand, “Environmental Desire in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss” (pp. 192–222)

This essay argues that George Eliot’s expansive use of landscape description in The Mill on the Floss (1860) represents an engagement with the emerging concept of a biological “medium” or “environment” in the nineteenth-century sciences. In the 1850s, scientific writers including Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, and G. H. Lewes redefined biological life as dependent on an abstraction called a “medium” or “environment”—a term that united all the objects, substances, and forces in an organism’s physical surroundings into a singular entity. Eliot in The Mill on the Floss draws out the ecological potential of this new biological concept by imbuing the described backgrounds of her novel with a lyrical affect I call “environmental desire,” a diffuse longing for ambient contact with one’s formative medium that offers an ethical alternative to the possessive and object-driven forms of desire that drive the plot of a traditional Bildungsroman. Maggie Tulliver’s marriage plot is structured by a tension between environmental desire and possessive desire, in which her erotic desire for Stephen Guest competes with a more diffuse environmental desire that attaches to the novel’s described backgrounds. Ultimately, the new environment concept enables Eliot to reconceive the Bildungsroman’s usual opposition between self and world as a relationship of nourishment and dependency rather than struggle, and invites a reconsideration of the ecological role of description in the Bildungsroman genre.

Objective

Oral solution and tablet formulations of levothyroxine (L-T4) are both used in the treatment of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). However, few studies and with a limited follow-up period have been published comparing these two formulations in children.

Design

The aim of this multicenter study was to compare the effectiveness of L-T4 oral solution (with ethanol as excipient) and tablet formulation in children with CH up to 3 years of age.

Methods

Children diagnosed with CH between 2006 and 2015 were enrolled and divided into two groups according to the L-T4 formulation used: solution in drops (group D) or tablets (group T). Auxological parameters, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) values and L-T4 dose were collected at diagnosis and at 15 days, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months of treatment. The developmental quotient (DQ) at 1 and 3 years of age was evaluated using Griffiths’ Scale.

Results

In this study, 254 children were enrolled among which 117 were treated with solution and 137 with tablets. Auxological parameters, dose and thyroid function values at diagnosis, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months were not significantly different. TSH at 15 days (P = 0.002) and 1 month (P = 0.009) was significantly reduced in group D. At 2-year follow-up, median TSH was significantly lower in group T (P = 0.03). No statistical difference was detected between the median DQ; however, group D showed lower values in the language subscale at 12 months and in eye–hand coordination at 36 months.

Conclusions

Both therapeutic strategies are effective in the treatment of CH. A higher risk of overtreatment in the first months of therapy seems to be associated with oral solution L-T4; therefore, a different strategy should be considered when starting and adjusting the dose. No negative effects on cognitive development were observed. The data obtained are encouraging but long-term follow-up is needed.

Los partidos y los líderes de la “nueva derecha” en el Brasil de Bolsonaro
Authors: Goldstein Ariel
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo analiza la reorganización política de la derecha en el Congreso de Brasil. Se consideran las trayectorias de los principales líderes, historia y posiciones ideológicas de los partidos de mayor relevancia. Son considerados el Partido Social Liberal (PSL), el Partido Novo (PN), el Partido de la Socialdemocracia Brasileña (PSDB) y los Demócratas (DEM). Analizando de forma sucinta la trayectoria de estos partidos políticos y sus líderes, se podrá comprender mejor la agenda y el tipo de relación entre el Ejecutivo y el Legislativo durante el gobierno de Bolsonaro. El cambio que representó la llegada de este excapitán del Ejército a la presidencia significa una modificación en las identidades políticas de los principales partidos de derecha. Sin embargo, el artículo sostiene que la llegada a la presidencia de Bolsonaro y sus nuevas alianzas en el Congreso no deben interpretarse como un fin para el llamado“presidencialismo de coalición”, sino que suponen, más bien, de una reorganización de este mismo.

La solidaridad con los exiliados chilenos en Costa Rica: 1973-1988
Authors: Rojas-Mejías Diana , Ramírez-Hernández Marcela
Published: October 2021

Este articulo estudia los grupos de solidaridad que se conformaron en Costa Rica con la llegada de los exiliados chilenos. Durante el período 1973-1988 se identificaron tres redes de apoyo, cuyos motivos de lucha fueron distintos según el momento de su creación. Así, en fechas tempranas, el apoyo se concentró en figuras específicas quienes buscaron las condiciones básicas para que los exiliados se asentaran en nuestro país. Seguidamente, se conformó una red junto con partidos políticos y grupos sociales que denunciaron violación a los derechos humanos mediante comunicados y actos de solidaridad. Finalmente, se encontró otra forma de organización que se enfocó en enviar apoyo económico a la resistencia chilena que aún combatía a la dictadura en la década de 1980.
Julio De Zan: dialéctica, militarismo y una nueva forma de heteronomía
Authors: Del Valle Alejandro
Published: October 2021

Desde el enfoque de la relación entre teoría y práctica, este trabajo trata de la relación que establece Julio De Zan entre el método dialéctico y una forma de praxis política que, desde el marco conceptual del pensamiento estratégico clásico, definimos como militarismo. A lo largo del trabajo se intenta dar cuenta de la operación intelectual por medio de la cual se establecen equivalencias teórico-prácticas entre la dialéctica y el militarismo y cómo esta operación intelectual fundamenta una crítica al marxismo. Cómo conclusión presentamos un argumento crítico con el fin de problematizar la relación establecida por De Zan y rescatamos el contenido particular que el concepto de heteronomía adquiere desde la perspectiva de la filosofía de la liberación.
The correlation of globalization and localization of economic processes in the context of growing global risks
Authors:   Centre for Economic and Political Studies named after Oleksandr Razumkov (Razumkov Centre), Volodymyr Sidenko ,   State Institution "Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine"
Published: October 2021

The article analyses changes in the correlation between globalization and localization of economic processes in the context of increasing global instability, growing geopolitical rivalry and the emergence and spread of new global risks of technological, ecological and biological origin. The study proves that the growth of global risks leads to a modification of Maslow's hierarchy of needs towards a relative accentuation of security needs - with diverse consequences in terms of the territorial organization of economic activity and mobility. It substantiates that the expansion of global processes can lead to excessive levels of concentration and homogenization of economic processes, suppression of forms of self-organization at the local level, and creating risks of disrupting the stability of local socio-economic structures. An important consequence is the transformation of the globalization process due to a significant intensification of regional and local factors. This trend determines the formation of glocalization as a two-dimensional process in which globalization and localization trends are combined. The author postulates that the balance between the processes of globalization and localization can shift in favor of the latter due to: the exacerbation of the global competition for resources and markets in the context of cardinal technological and structural shifts in the world economy; increasing international instability amid geopolitical confrontation between old and new centers of global power; insufficient effectiveness of global responses to climate change and pandemics; risks of the digital virtual environment leading to increased national and regional regulation and fragmentation of the global digital environment; and the impact of technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the direction of strengthening localization trends in relation to global value chains.

Published: October 2021

У статті розглядається використання тропів як риторичних прийомів на прикладі політичного дискурсу про історичний контекст і міжнародні відносини. Ідентифіковані на емпіричному матеріалі тропи ілюструють можливості пояснення в суспільствознавчих дисциплінах, з опертям на методологічні підходи до пояснення, розроблені Ю.Міганом і П.Ротом, за якими пояснення у соціальних науках можливе як системна парадигма, в якій ідентифіковані структурні елементи у вигляді змінних та зв’язків між ними, що регулюються певними принципами. Ю.Міган використовує метафору карти по відношенню до пояснення: масштаб і форма залежить від позиції дослідника, а її формат – від конкретних дослідницьких завдань. За П.Ротом, у суспільствознавстві є низка пояснень, які просто неможливі без наративного викладу, в яких наратив і є поясненням і які він називає «сутнісно наративні пояснення». Проведений аналіз на прикладі витягів з праць Д.Саттера і С.Корсунського демонструє, що складні тропи (приміром металепсис) дозволяють ідентифікувати складові дискурсу та відтворити зв’язки між ними, які практично неможливо передати за допомогою символьної чи «сухої» наукової мови.

Objective: this study aimed to evaluate long-term survival and prognostic factors in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in an economically poor region of Brazil.Methods: the data were obtained from analysis of medical and mortality records of 210 patients with OSCC treated at an oncology hospital providing services to the Brazilian Unified National Health System in a State of northeastern Brazil between January 2006 and December 2008. Sociodemographic and clinical information, treatment performed, recurrence and evolution were collected. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the log rank and Cox regression tests were used to compare the curves.Results: the median survival in the study period was 47.4 months (95% CI = 38.2 - 56.7). The overall survival rates at 5 and 10 years were 29% and 19.8%, respectivelly. Individuals over 60 years of age (HR = 1.70; 95% CI = 1.06 - 2.73), presence of regional metastasis (HR = 2.51; 95% CI = 1.55 - 4.08), presence of recurrence (HR = 3.18; 95% CI = 1.88 - 5.39) and no surgical treatment (HR = 2.10; 95% CI = 1.31 - 3.35) had a worse prognosis.Conclusions: advanced age, presence of regional metastasis, tumor recurrence and non-surgical treatment predict poorer survival in patients diagnosed with OSCC.

Összefoglaló. Tanulmányunkban arra keressük a választ, hogy az
elkövetkező évtizedekben miként befolyásolhatják a hazai demográfiai folyamatok
és oktatáspolitikai beavatkozások az oktatást igénybe vevők létszámát.
Népesség-előreszámításaink szerint a következő évtizedekben folytatódik a hazai
népesség 1980 óta tartó csökkenése. Elemzésünkből látható, hogy hosszú távon
valamennyi képzési szinten csökkeni fog a nevelési-oktatási rendszert igénybe
vevők létszáma, hozzátéve, hogy az oktatáspolitikának van némi mozgástere a
létszámok alakításában. A várható létszámcsökkenés jelentős megtakarítást
indukálhat, a kérdés az, hogy ezt mire használjuk fel, visszaforgatjuk vagy
kivonjuk az oktatási rendszerből.

Summary. In our study, we seek to answer the question of how
demographic trends and educational policy interventions in the coming decades
may affect the number of people in education. Our population projections show
that the decline in the domestic population since 1980 will continue in the
coming decades. Our analysis shows that in the long term, the number of people
in education and training at all levels of education will fall, adding that
education policy has some room for manoeuvre in adjusting the number of
students. The expected reduction in the number of students could generate
substantial savings, the question is how to use them, whether to reinvest them
or to withdraw them from the education system.
Népesség, szelekció, oktatás

Published: October 2021

Összefoglaló. Írásunk a középiskolai és a felsőoktatási felvételi
adatokat felhasználva mutatja be az elmúlt évtizedek beiskolázási trendjeit,
fókuszálva az elmúlt másfél-két évtizedben végbemenő folyamatokra. A
középiskolai beiskolázás adatai szerint egyrészt megállapítható, hogy a
rendszerváltás utáni trend 2011 után megtört, a középiskolás korosztályon belül
egyre csökken azok aránya, akik részt vesznek valamilyen középfokú képzésben,
másrészt a képzésben maradók preferenciái ugyan az általános képzés felé
törekednek, de a felvettek számát és arányát tekintve mégis a szakképzésben
tanulnak többen. A felsőoktatásba újonnan bekerülők jelentős hányadát adják a
frissen érettségizettek, akiknek a létszáma az utóbbi 15 évben folyamatosan
csökken, ezzel egyidejűleg azonban a részidős képzésekben tanulók létszáma is
meredeken visszaesett.

Summary. The study presents enrolment trends using secondary and
tertiary enrolment data, focusing on trends over the last two decades. The data
on secondary school enrolment shows that, on the one hand, the post-transition
trend was broken after 2011, with the proportion of secondary school students
enrolled in some form of upper secondary education decreasing, and on the other
hand, while the preferences of those who remain in education are tending towards
general education, more people are enrolled in vocational education and training
in terms of both the number and the proportion of enrolments. A significant
proportion of new entrants to higher education are recent graduates from
secondary education, whose number have been declining steadily over the last 15
years, but at the same time the number of part-time students in higher education
has also fallen sharply.
Roma népesség és oktatástervezés
Authors: Papp Z. Attila
Published: October 2021

Összefoglaló. A tanulmány népszámlálási és kutatási adatok
segítségével a roma tanulókkal kapcsolatos oktatási kérdések értelmezésére, az
esetleges oktatáspolitikai beavatkozások megalapozására tesz kísérletet. A
szerző azt állítja, a romának gondolt tanulók jelenléte önmagában nem kellene
semmilyen nyelvi-etnikai kihívást jelentsen, hiszen az esetek zömében – a
népszámlálási adatok tanúsága szerint – szintén magyar anyanyelvű népességről
van szó. Az igazi kihívást a roma populáció társadalmi szerkezetben elfoglalt
helye jelenti: mivel az alsóbb társadalmi rétegekbe, gyakran társadalmon kívüli
élethelyzetekbe szorulva élnek, ez visszahat az iskolai eredményességükre,
illetve társadalmi integrációjukra is.

Summary. Based on census and research data the study tries to
analyse the educational situation of Roma students, and it intends to describe
some educational policy interventions. According to the author the school
presence of the Roma students is not an ethnic or linguistique question as
Hungarian language is their mother tongue. The real challenge is the social
situation of the Roma population: as they live in lower social strata, often in
underclass situation, this has an impact on their school performance, and
finally on their social integration.

Showing knowing
Authors: Leskelä Leealaura
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This article examines how persons with intellectual disabilities and professionals working with them manage interactionally challenging situations in which they negotiate epistemic authority. In each situation, the topic of the talk concerns something the person with intellectual disability knows best, such as their plans and hopes. Persons with intellectual disabilities are, thus, expected to show more knowledge about the topic than the professionals. Method: The database for this study consisted of qualitative analysis of 16 videorecorded dyadic conversations between 12 persons with intellectual disabilities and 11 professional co-participants. The methodological approach taken was conversation analysis. Results. Epistemic negotiations turned out to be quite difficult for the interactants. In these situations, the professionals resorted to three practices called renewed requests for confirmations, indirect challenging, and open challenge, which had different impacts on the epistemic authority and full participation of the persons with intellectual disabilities. Discussion and conclusion: None of the practices proved to be unequivocally better or worse than the others, but all had features that seemed both to strengthen and to weaken full participation. The results of the study can also be used to foster professionals’ practical knowledge of how to deal with interactionally challenging situations in conversations with their clients.
Collaborative storytelling with a person with aphasia
Authors: Killmer Helene , Beeke Suzanne , Svennevig Jan
Published: October 2021

Introduction: This study explores practices employed by a person with aphasia (PWA) and his wife to organize collaborative storytelling in a multiparty interaction. We identify practices that further the PWA's agency – his impact on action – while he is telling a story together with his wife. Method: Using conversation analysis (CA), we carried out a case study of a successful storytelling sequence involving a 39-year-old man with anomic aphasia during a conversation with friends. Analysis: The PWA contributed to the storytelling by initiating the story sequence and by producing short but significant utterances in which he provided essential information and displayed epistemic authority. The spouse aligned with the PWA's initiated actions and supported his agency by giving him room to speak, for example, by gaze retraction. Discussion: The analysis offers insight into practices that allowed this PWA to achieve agency. Our findings show that communication partner training could benefit from implementing activities such as collaborative storytelling.

Definition of Construction Parameters of Discrete Restraining Constructions
Authors: Shapoval V. H , Ponomarenko I. O , Ivanova H. P , Tereshchuk R. M , Shashenko D. O
Published: October 2021

Purpose. There are many problems in the design of anti-landslide constructions, therefore discrete constructions are an alternative to solid anti-landslides. Despite the advantages of such constructions, difficulties also arise when using them. In this work, it is envisaged to develop methods for determining the zone of influence of discrete restraining constructions on the interaction of a sliding soil mass with them and a method for assessing the conditions of a stable state of the soil, which interacts with discrete restraining constructions, by constructing analytical dependencies necessary to determine the zone size and the soil stability coefficient. Methodology. Theoretical studies of geomechanical processes using analytical and numerical mathematical methods, as well as analysis and generalization of theoretical research results were used to achieve the purpose. Findings. The research results presented in the work allow, during the design of landslide discrete constructions, to determine the area of interaction of the shear with discrete retaining constructions, as well as to take into account the stability coefficient of the soil laid between the elements of the discrete retaining structure. Dependences were obtained for determining the zone size in which the sliding soil mass interacts, with discrete retaining constructions, and the soil stability coefficient in the zone of its interaction with these constructions. Originality. Analytical dependencies allow to calculate the boom of lifting the soil dumping arch between the elements of the discrete anti-landslide restraining construction and the coefficient of soil stability. Practical value. The research results allow, when designing discrete restraining constructions, to determine the area of interaction of the shear with these constructions and the stability coefficient of the soil laid between the elements of the discrete restraining construction.
Parametric Optimization of Belt Conveyors by Energy Efficiency Criterion
Authors: Kuropiatnyk O. S
Published: October 2021

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the optimal values of the belt conveyor parameters, at which the specific energy consumption for the cargo transportation takes on the lowest value. Methodology. The substantiation of the optimal values of the belt conveyor parameters was carried out by minimizing the function of specific energy consumption, which represents the energy consumption for the transportation of a cargo weighing 1 kg at a distance of 1 m. In the course of research, the drive force was determined using the contour bypass meth-od. In this case, the specific loads from the transported cargo, belt and roller supports were presented as functions of the belt width. To establish the optimal values of the conveyor productivity and belt speed, the belt width was presented as a function of these values, taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of the transported cargo, the design features of the roller supports and the belt angle. Findings. I obtained the dependences of specific energy consumption on the design parameters of the conveyor. Their analysis made it possible to identify the opti-mal values of the belt width, conveyor productivity, belt speed, and the optimal ratio of the last two values for dif-ferent types of transported cargo. It is noted that the results obtained can be supplemented by carrying out calcula-tions according to the formula given in this work. It has been established that the optimal value of the belt width depends only on the belt angle and on the coefficients that determine the energy losses, in particular the movement resistance coefficient of the belt; the influence of the specified coefficient increases with an increase in the belt angle. In addition, the optimal value of the belt width does not depend on the conveyor length, its productivity and belt speed. Originality. The dependences of the specific energy consumption on the design parameters of the belt conveyor were obtained, which made it possible to establish the optimal values of the belt width and the ratio of the conveyor productivity to the belt speed. Practical value. The results of this work can be used in the design of energy-efficient belt conveyors, which are characterized by the lowest specific energy consumption for cargo transportation.

Purpose. The work aims to investigate dynamic loading of the supporting structure of a gondola car with an elastic-viscous filler in the center sill by means of mathematical modeling. Methodology. Mathematical modeling of the dynamic loading of the supporting structure of a gondola car with a closed center sill filled with a filler with elastic-viscous properties has been carried out. The case of the highest load on the supporting structure of the gondola car in operation is taken into account – a shunting collision, taking into account the action of a load of 3.5 MN on the rear stop of the automatic coupler. To determine the dynamic loading of a gondola car, a mathematical model formed by prof. G. I. Bohomaz was used. However, within the framework of this study, the model was refined by adapting it to the determination of the dynamic loading of a gondola car. It also takes into account the friction forces arising between the center plates of the body and the center pivots of the bogies, as well as the properties of the energy-absorbing material. The solution of the mathematical model was carried out in the MathCad software package. In this case, the differential equations of motion were reduced to the Cauchy normal form, and then integrated using the Runge-Kutta method. Initial displacements and speeds are taken equal to zero. The calculation was carried out on the example of a universal gondola car model 12-757 built by Kriukivskyi Carriage Works PJSC (Kremenchug) on standard bogies 18-100. Findings. Accelerations are obtained as components of a dynamic load acting on a gondola car with a closed center sill structure filled with an elastic-viscous filler. It was found that with the stiffness of the center sill filler of 82 kN/m, as well as the viscous resistance coefficient of -120 kN∙s/m, the maximum accelerations of the gondola car supporting structure is about 37 m/s2 (0.37g). Originality. A mathematical model is proposed for determining the dynamic loading of a gondola car with a closed structure of a center sill filled with an elastic-viscous filler. The model makes it possible to obtain accelerations as the components of the dynamic loading acting on the supporting structure of the gondola car, taking into account the improvement measures during a shunting collision. Practical value. The results of the research will help to reduce the damage to the supporting structures of gondola cars in operation, reduce the cost of their maintenance, create developments in the design of innovative structures of rolling stock, as well as increase the efficiency of its operation.

Purpose. This paper presents the findings of a review of the literature published in the twenty-first century in order to identify and analyze the current state of tools that track developer interactions with integrated development environments, as well as to recommend future research directions based on the actual state. Methodology. By systematically searching in five digital libraries we conducted a systematic review of the literature on data collection tools from integrated development environments published in the twenty-first century. Fifty-five papers were selected as primary studies. Findings. 55 articles were analyzed and the findings show that using an integrated development environment to collect usage data provides more insight into developer activities than it was previously possible. Usage data allows us to analyze how developers spend their time. With usage data, you can learn more about how developers create mental models, investigate code, conduct mini-experiments through trial and error, and what can help everyone improve performance. The research community continues to be highly active in developing tools to track developer activity. The findings indicate that more research is needed in this area to better understand and measure programmer behavior. Originality. For the first time, systematization and analysis of tools for tracking programmer's behavior in an integrated development environment have been carried out. Practical value. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the current state of research on programmer behavior in integrated development environments. An analysis of the study can help define a research agenda as a starting point for the creation of a novel practical tool.

Abstract Obtaining quality plantlets is essential for the expansion of olive growing in Brazil. Olive tree plantlets are produced by cuttings and the great obstacle for the production of plantlets on a large scale is the low rooting rate. In this sense, minicutting is a promising alternative, as it can optimize the collection of propagules and provide an improvement in the rooting index. The objective of this study was to verify the propagation of ‘Arbequina’ olive minicuttings collected in different positions of the branch and submitted to concentrations of humic substances with and without the use of indolebutyric acid (IBA). The experimental design was completely randomized, in a bifactorial scheme: collection positions in the branch (basal, median and apical) and concentrations of humic substances (SoloHumics®) with and without IBA (10 mL SoloHumics® + 0 mg L-1 IBA; 10 mL SoloHumics® + 1,000 mg L-1 IBA; 10 mL SoloHumics® + 2,000 mg L-1 IBA; and 10 mL SoloHumics® + 3,000 mg L-1 IBA). The ‘Arbequina’ olive tree can be propagated by basal and apical minicuttings submitted to the use of SoloHumics® + 1,000 mg L-1 of IBA and by medium minicuttings treated with SoloHumics® + 2,000 mg L-1 of IBA, due to the greater rooting potential.
Misoprostol on trial: a descriptive study of the criminalization of an essential medicine in Brazil
Authors: Assis Mariana Prandini
Published: October 2021

Misoprostol is a medicine with a “double” social life recorded in several places, including Brazil. Within formal and authorized health facilities, it is an essential medicine, used for life-saving obstetric procedures. On the streets, or in online informal markets, misoprostol is treated as a dangerous drug used to induce illegal abortions. In the Brazilian case, despite a rich anthropological and public health analysis of the social consequences of misoprostol’s double life, there are no studies on the legal implications. This article offers such descriptive analysis, presenting and examining a comprehensive dataset of how Brazilian courts have treated misoprostol in the past three decades. It consists of an encompassing mapping of the “when, where, how, and who” of misoprostol criminalization in Brazil, pointing to the unjust consequences of the use of criminal law for the purpose of protecting public health.

Resumo: Dados sobre aborto inseguro são escassos e estimativas baseadas em internações apontaram decréscimo nos últimos anos. O objetivo foi analisar a evolução temporal de aborto inseguro no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, de 2008 a 2017. Utilizamos dados secundários de internações hospitalares no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) por complicações de aborto, para mulheres em idade fértil de 15-44 anos. Aplicamos estimativa indireta com fator de correção baseado em dados nacionais e do estado. Calculamos: taxa de abortos inseguros por mulheres em idade fértil (TAI-MIF), razão de abortos inseguros por nascidos vivos (RAI-NV), segundo faixa etária. Adicionalmente, calculamos novos indicadores: taxa de aborto espontâneo (TAE) e não especificado (TANE) por mulheres em idade fértil; razão de aborto espontâneo (RAE) e não especificado (RANE) por nascidos vivos, independentemente da idade. A tendência temporal foi por regressão Joinpoint, calculando a mudança percentual anual (MPA) e intervalo de 95% de confiança (IC95%). As mulheres que mais induziram aborto têm de 20-24 anos: TAI de 8 por mil. Gestações terminaram em aborto inseguro mais frequentemente na faixa de 40-44 anos: RAI entre 16 e 20 por 100 nascidos vivos. As adolescentes tiveram redução da TAI entre 2015 e 2017 (MPA = -10; IC95%: -18,2; -1,1), e houve aumento para aquelas de 40-44 anos, entre 2008 e 2017(MPA = 2,2; IC95%: 0,5; 4,0). Para outras faixas e para o indicador RAI-NV houve estabilidade. A TAE (MPA = -3,5; IC95%: -5,9; -1,0), e a RAE (MPA = -3,8; IC95%: -6,3; -1,2) reduziram enquanto a TANE (MPA = 6,6; IC95%: 1,7; 11,8) e a RANE (MPA = 6,4; IC95%: 1,6; 11,3) aumentaram no período. O aborto inseguro no Estado do Rio de Janeiro mostrou magnitude e evolução temporal diferenciadas segundo faixas etárias e código da CID-10.

Resumo: O artigo trata da incorporação e da institucionalização do tema inovação na agenda de políticas públicas no Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa focalizou o processo de formulação e desenvolvimento do Programa de Apoio a Polos de Inovação Tecnológica, implementado por sucessivas gestões estaduais desde 1989. A estratégia metodológica focalizou a trajetória do programa, mediante a análise de documentos e de entrevistas, por meio de uma abordagem teórica que enfatiza a ação de atores individuais e coletivos e a reprodução institucional. A ideia de promover a inovação, defendida por atores sociais, institucionalizou-se na forma de uma política pública sustentada por uma articulação entre a ação política de atores individuais e coletivos - empreendedores de políticas, comunidades de política e governos -, que disseminaram suas ideias sobre inovação e desenvolvimento, e o desenho institucional do arranjo de governança regional no estado gaúcho.

ABSTRACT: Although the fruit yield has a core importance in Tahiti acid lime breeding programs, other traits stand out among the quality fruit and vegetative traits as ones that still need to be improved in selection of superior genotypes. Appling efficient tools aiming selection, such as the Bayesian inference, becomes an alternative in perennial crops. This study applied Bayesian inference in the genetic evaluation of Tahiti acid lime genotypes and estimated the interrelation between vegetative, productive and fruit quality traits. Twenty-four acid lime genotypes were evaluated for number of fruits, fruit yield, canopy volume, stem diameter, soluble solids content, shell thickness, and juice yield traits. The genotypic values were estimated through Bayesian inference and models with different residual structure were tested via deviance information criterion. Pearson’s correlation and the path analysis were estimated, removing the multicollinearity effect. The Bayesian inference estimates genotypic values with high selective accuracy. The correlations obtained between traits from different groups can be useful in selection strategies for improvement of Tahiti acid lime. The Bayesian inference demonstrated to be an important tool and should be considered in perennial breeding programs.

ABSTRACT: In view of the need to increase genetic variability to obtain materials with a significant capacity to drought tolerance, this study conducted a cycle of a reciprocal recurrent selection of full-sib families of maize. To this end, 64 full-sib families of maize were evaluated in two environments according to their morpho-agronomic data in a randomized block design with two replicates. It were analyzed of Male flowering (MF); Female flowering (FF); Flowering interval (IF); days for flowering (DF); Plant height (PH); Ear height (EH); number of plants at the Stand (NPS); Number of broken plant (NBrP); Number of bedded plants (NBeP); Strawing (St); Ear length (EL); Ear diameter (ED); Ear number (EN); Prolificacy (Pr); Number of diseased ears (NDE); Number of ears attacked by pests (NEP); Ear weight (EW); Yield (YIE) and Total Chlorophyll Index (TCI). The analysis of variance was performed by the F test at 5% significance level, and also the evaluation of genetic parameters. Regarding morpho-agronomic data, the analysis of variance and the analysis of genetic parameters showed that there was no interaction genotype x environment with regard to the genetic variability among the families under study. Lastly, the final selection of the superior genotypes was made on the basis of the ranking of the 40 most productive families, from which, combined with the molecular data, the 30 most productive, most drought-tolerant, and most genetically diverse ones were selected to compose the next cycle of recurrent maize selection aiming water-stress tolerance.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT: The social dimension of sustainability is becoming very relevant on the consumer purchasing decision, especially in the food sector. This research analyzed the willingness to pay (WTP) of Chilean consumers for cheese with a social sustainability attribute using a double-bounded dichotomous choice format. Results showed that the WTP for a price premium depends on three variables: age, income and previous knowledge regarding social sustainability. The mean WTP is 7.5% over the average price of cheese; although, combining relevant variables and changing values over their range shows that firms can obtain up to a 12.9% price premium if they focus on younger and high income consumers that have a previous good knowledge about social sustainability practices. Additionally, this study presented a novel market oriented methodological approach for identifying and quantifying specific niche markets based on the WTP.
