Published: October 2018

Objective: Bovine piroplasmoses are tick-borne protozoan diseases caused by parasites of the genus Theileria and Babesia. The aim of this work was to study the epizootic situation of babesiosis in the cattle population in eastern Poland and possibly to determine which species of protozoa infects Polish cattle. Material, methods and results: Blood samples for molecular analysis (real time PCR) were collected from 192 dairy cattle from various farms located in eastern Poland. The infection was detected in 10.4 % of the samples. All animals were infected with Babesia occultans which sequence of the 18S RNA gene fragment showed a 92.8 % homology with the sequence of B. occultans EU 376017. Conclusion and clinical relevance: This is the first report about the detection of B. occultans DNA in asymptomatic cattle in eastern Poland. The results obtained indicate that the range of these parasites is increasing and that continuous monitoring of babesiosis in cattle in Europe and in Poland is necessary.

Published: October 2018

Kongenitaler Tremor oder „Ferkelzittern“ bei neugeborenen Ferkeln ist ein altbekanntes Krankheitsbild unterschiedlicher Ätiologie und unterschiedlicher pathologischer Ausprägung. Neben nichtinfektiösen Ursachen (Intoxikationen, genetische Ursachen) spielen insbesondere virale Infektionen der Sau während der Gravidität ätiologisch eine bedeutende Rolle. Infektionen mit dem Virus der Klassischen Schweinpest, einem Pestivirus aus der Familie Flaviviridae, sind schon lange als mögliche Ursache von kongenitalem Tremor bekannt. Kürzlich wurde ein weiteres porzines Pestivirus identifiziert, das ebenfalls Ferkelzittern auslösen kann. Dieses „atypische porzine Pestivirus“ (APPV) ist wahrscheinlich weltweit und mit hohen Prävalenzen in den Schweinepopulationen verbreitet. Der Artikel liefert eine Übersicht über die unterschiedlichen Formen des kongenitalen Tremors beim Ferkel und eine Zusammenfassung aktueller Studien zu dem neu entdeckten APPV.

Authors: Neuhauser Stefanie , Gösele Patricia , Handler Johannes
Published: October 2018

Gegenstand und Ziel: Im peripartalen Zeitraum der Stute kann es eine besondere Herausforderung sein, Veränderungen im Allgemeinverhalten und der Vitalparameter richtig zu interpretieren. In der Studie wurde untersucht, ob sich bei gesunden Stuten unterschiedlichen Pferdetyps in der Spätträchtigkeit und in der 1. Woche post partum (p. p.) die Herz- (HF) und Atemfrequenz (AF) sowie die innere Körpertemperatur (IKT) von den in der Literatur angegebenen Referenzwerten für adulte Pferde unterscheiden. Material und Methoden: Im Rahmen der täglichen klinischen Untersuchung erfolgte eine Auswertung der HF, AF und IKT von Stuten, die zur Geburtsüberwachung stationär eingestellt waren. Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Pferdegröße wurden ausgewertet und bei Großpferden wurde der Einfluss einer Schwergeburt und von Nachgeburtsverhalten evaluiert. Ergebnisse: In den letzten Wochen ante partum (a. p.) stieg die HF deutlich an und war p. p. in allen Gruppen deutlich niedriger als a. p. (p < 0,05). Die AF stieg bei Groß- und Kleinpferden a. p. an und sank p. p. wieder deutlich ab (p < 0,05). Die IKT veränderte sich im peripartalen Zeitraum in allen Gruppen und war p. p. deutlich höher (p < 0,05). Bei Ponys waren HF, AF und IKT immer am höchsten (p < 0,05) und bei Großpferden wurde die niedrigste AF gemessen (p < 0,05). Bezüglich der HF ergab sich zwischen Pferden mit Eutokie und Dystokie kein Unterschied (p > 0,05). Am Tag 1 p. p. war die AF bei Stuten mit Dystokie allerdings signifikant höher (p < 0,05). Unterschiede bei der IKT an den Tagen a. p. und p. p. konnten nur bei Stuten mit ungestörtem Geburtsverlauf festgestellt werden (p < 0,05), doch blieben die Werte im Referenzbereich. Bei Stuten mit Nachgeburtsverhalten zeigte sich keine Änderung der HF (p > 0,05), die IKT war aber deutlich höher am Tag 1 p. p. (p < 0,05). Schlussfolgerung: Die Vitalparameter von Stuten in der Spätträchtigkeit lassen auf eine erhebliche körperliche Leistung über einen langen Zeitraum schließen. Die Interpretation der Vitalparameter im Zusammenhang mit dem Reproduktionsstatus der Stute ist wesentlich, um Störungen des Allgemeinbefindens richtig einzuschätzen und notwendige Behandlungen gezielt durchzuführen.

Un dels grans etnÃ²legs evolucionistes, James Frazer, va predir que totes les societats humanes havien de passar, en un procÃ©s evolutiu lineal, per tres grans etapes: la mÃ gica, la religiosa i la cientÃ­fica.

Bioorthogonal Noncanonical Amino Acid Tagging (BONCAT) incubation - ROCKS v1
Authors: Goordial Jackie
Published: October 2018

BONCAT is a technique that allows for the visualization and isolation of metabolically active cells from complex environmental enrichments. This is achieved by incubating a sample with synthetic methionine analogs AHA (l-azidohomoalanine) or HPG (l-homopropargylglycine). Instead of the sulfhydryl side group of methionine , these analogs contain an azide or alkyne functional group, respectively, which can be chemically tagged with a fluorophore using a process termed “click-chemistry”. Throughout the incubation period actively growing cells incorporate these synthetic amino acids into newly synthesized proteins. After harvesting cells from a live enrichment, the cells are tagged with the fluorophore. This allows for microscopic visualization along with FACS-based isolation of the metabolically active cells in a community. Downstream analysis can include single-cell sequencing or metagenomics techniques to determine taxonomy and functions of isolated organisms. Notes: Working with low-biomass samples has an inherent high-risk of contamination. Be mindful of sterility at all times. Perform all work in the biological safety cabinet and make sure to sterilize the hood with UV prior beginning work Some of the BONCAT reagents are light-sensitive, be careful to pay attention to if a particular step in the protocol needs to be performed in the dark The click-chemictry reaction is very sensitive to oxygen, so take care not to vortex/ introdroduce air unnecessarily Try to plan when you harvest incubations so that you are certain you will be able to perform the click-chemistry process the next morning
Collaborative narrative writing: A digital photography task in an Indonesian Islamic secondary school
Authors: Ferdiansyah Sandi
Published: October 2018

Despite being widely used in writing classrooms, collaborative writing along with a digital photography task in a secondary school context receives scanty attention. To fill this gap, the present case study attempts to showcase the design and implementation of a digital photography task in collaborative writing. It looks at (1) a group negotiation process of selecting story ideas and joint story drafting and (2) collaborative meaning-making processes in story writing and creativity building through visually-mediated narrative writing. Seven groups of third-year students of 16–17 years old participated in this study. They were engaged in a collaborative project to create digital stories. The findings of the study showed that a collaborative process in narrative writing through digital photography assisted the students to get involved actively in selecting digital software and jointly generating ideas of the story. The study also exemplifies the potential use of digital photography in helping the students develop ideas and enhance their narrative writing quality. The pedagogical implication of the study is that framing a visually- and technologically-based collaborative narrative writing task encourages students’ engagement in writing processes and empowers them to become engaged storytellers.

Authors: Kubat Ulaş
Published: October 2018

The aims of this study are to reveal how science teachers integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in their lessons and their opinions regarding the advantages and disadvantages they have identified while integrating STEM in their lessons, as well as what kind of difficulties they encounter in the implementation process. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview form was developed and qualitative research method was used. STEM is based on a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to the four disciplines rather than the independent teaching of these four disciplines. The study group comprises 12 science teachers in the province of Mugla in the 2017â€“2018 academic year. Research findings show that science teachers generally have a positive attitude towards using STEM-based activities but are not able to implement STEM-based activities in an appropriate, complete and accurate way because of difficulties in terms of â€˜physical conditionsâ€™ and â€˜time managementâ€™. Teachers stated that STEM education encourages students to do research.

Authors: Boran Rukiye , Ugur Aysel , Sarac Nurdan
Published: October 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the
hyaluronidase, collagenase and elastase inhibitory effects, which play important
role for wound healing, together with the antibacterial, antioxidant and
homeostatic activities of tragacanth gum (TG)
and locust bean gum (LBG). The
antimicrobial activities were tested against four bacteria and the antioxidant
activities were estimated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) radical
scavenging and β-carotene bleaching assays. Homeostatic effect was
evaluated with the Prothrombin Time (PT)
and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)
test parameters. The wound healing potentials were determined with the
inhibition of hyaluronidase, collagenase and elastase enzymes. The TG showed
antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas
aeruginosa ATCC27853 and Escherichia coli ATCC25922. The results showed that TG and LBG possessed
antioxidant properties including DPPH scavenging  (21.0% and 17.6%,
respectively)  and H2O2 radical scavenging (59.4% and 79.0%,
respectively) activities. The polysaccharides displayed significantly reducing PT and aPTT results.
Between the two tested polysaccharides LBG showed significant
hyaluronidase and collagenase inhibition activity at 10 mg/mL concentration. These findings show that these natural polysaccharides can be used to
support of wound healing.
Batman Kentinde Mekânsal Büyümenin Arazi Kullanımına Etkisi
Authors: Alkan Adnan
Published: October 2018

Kentsel alanların mekânsal büyümesi ve gelişmesiyle birlikte, kentsel
arazi kullanım içerisinde köklü değişiklikler meydana gelmektedir. Kentsel
büyüme planlı ve kontrollü bir şekilde gerçekleşmediği takdirde çevre kirliliği
başta olmak üzere, çarpık ve düzensiz yapılaşmaya, tarım arazilerinin şehir
içerisinde kalmasına ve vasıflarını yitirmesi vb. çeşitli olumsuzluklara yol
açmaktadır. Türkiye’de özellikle 1980’li yıllar ve sonrasında yaşanan kentsel
büyüme ülke geneline hızlı bir şekilde yayılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de
hızlı kentleşme ve sanayileşme yaşayan kentlerden biri olan Batman araştırma
konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hızlı şehirleşme süreci yaşayan Batman
kentinin 1985 ve 2016 yıllarına ait uydu görüntüleri kullanılarak kent ve
çevresinde arazi kullanımı nasıl bir gelişme gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Buna ek
olarak 1985-2016 yılları arasındaki süreçte şehirsel gelişim alanı içerisinde
arazi kullanım sınıflamasına göre şehrin hangi alanlar üzerinde ne kadar
genişlediği belirlenmiştir. Batman kentinin kentsel gelişimini ve kentin arazi
kullanım sınıflamasını belirlemek için 1985 ve 2016 yıllarına ait Landsat TM ve
OLI uydu görüntüleri kullanılmıştır. 1985 ve 2016 yıllarına ait kentsel alana
dönüşen arazi sınıfları değişimleri analiz edilerek saptanmıştır. Çalışmanın
sonucunda elde edilen tüm arazi sınıflarından yerleşime doğru bir dönüşümün
olduğu belirlenmiştir. Nitekim 1985 ve 2016 yıllarına ait uydu görüntüleri
temel alınarak yapılan analizler neticesinde Batman kentinin 30 yıllık süreçte
1730 hektar büyüyerek, yaklaşık % 167 oranında mekânsal genişleme sağladığı
anlaşılmaktadır. Buna karşın kuru tarım arazileri ise 30 yıllık süreçte
yaklaşık 2400 hektar azalmış ve % 20’ye yakın bir kayıp yaşamıştır.

Este artigo, oriundo dos resultados de pesquisa de iniciação científica realizada na UFPE (2015-2016), pesquisa esta por sua vez, vinculada a projeto contemplado pelo Edital Universal do CNPq (chamada nº 14/2013), tem como objetivo analisar as falas de gestores, docentes da disciplina de Ensino Religioso (ER) e representantes das secretarias de educação municipal e estadual da cidade de Recife sobre questões de gênero e sexualidade, entrecruzando esse debate à relação laicização e religião. Assim buscou-se compreender como são construídos discursivamente significados em torno das temáticas mencionadas, destacando o lugar que mulheres sexualmente marginalizadas como lésbicas, bissexuais e transexuais ocupam dentro das cosmologias religiosas trabalhadas no espaço curricular dessa disciplina. A análise do material, feita a partir de concepções teóricas de gênero e sexualidade pós-estruturalistas e de um exame metodológico apoiado na Análise de Discurso (AD) francesa, revelou a presença de um discurso hegemônico que invisibiliza conteúdos sobre gênero e sexualidade nas aulas de ER, reforçando posturas estigmatizantes, muito preocupantes, sobretudo nos dias atuais em que essas discussões correm o risco de não serem mais trabalhadas nas escolas públicas, devido, entre outros fatores, a posições de grupos religiosos, especialmente os de vertente pentecostal e neopentecostal.
Sobre a ensinabilidade e a aprendizibilidade da filosofia: reflexões acerca da especificidade do exercício filosófico
Authors: Schütz Jenerton Arlan , Schwengber Ivan Luís
Published: October 2018

O presente texto reflete sobre a relação entre o ensinar e aprender filosofia. As indagações que levantamos neste artigo referem-se ao exercício da filosofia, ou seja, é possível que a filosofia seja “ensinável”? E “aprendível”? Para destrinchar os fios filosóficos das interrogações, o estudo decompõe-se em três partes: i) tematiza a ensinabilidade da filosofia, buscando superar a célebre discussão sobre se se ensina a filosofia ou se ensina a filosofar; ii) problematiza a aprendizibilidade da filosofia; iii) desenvolve a perspectiva da especificidade da filosofia. Ademais, considera que o ensino e a especificidade da filosofia está no ato de criação de conceitos. Caso queiramos um ensino de filosofia “filosófica”, necessitamos desenvolvê-lo a partir dos conceitos.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi elaborar e avaliar a qualidade da geleia mista de umbu e mangaba. Foram elaboradas duas formulações de geleia mista, uma com e outra sem frutooligossacarídeo (FOS), as quais foram avaliadas suas características microbiológicas, sensoriais, físico-químicas e químicas. Os resultados demonstram que a característica microbiológica, a aceitabilidade, intenção de compra e preferência sensorial foram as mesmas entre as geleias avaliadas. A adição do FOS exerceu influência sobre a proteína, cinzas e pH (potencial hidrogeniônico). A substituição da sacarose pelo FOS e adição de frutas regionais (umbu e mangaba) agregou valor comercial à geleia mista, devido suas propriedades funcionais e sensoriais.

Devido aos riscos de contaminação por micotoxinas, o controle fúngico em alimentos deve ser adotar medidas desde o início do desenvolvimento microbiano. A substituição de fungicidas químicos por ácidos orgânicos (geralmente reconhecidos como seguro) desponta como uma perspectiva interessante. A pesquisa teve como objetivo determinar concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) de ácidos orgânicos, sorbato de potássio e respectivas combinações no controle de Aspergillus flavus NRRL 3251 produtor de aflatoxina B1. O inóculo de 104 esporos.mL-1 foi calculado baseado na contaminação real em milho e ração animal. As melhores CIM in vitro foram: combinação de ácido acético (AA 83,26 mM) + propiônico (AP 6,74 mM); AA (8,32 mM) + sorbato de potássio (SP 13,31mM) e AP (6,74 mM) + SP (33,28 mM). Considerando a dose comercialmente utilizada de ácido propiônico 0,5%, a combinação do ácido propiônico com sorbato de potássio e ácido acético poderia reduzir respectivamente cerca de 24,63 e 70,19% o custo em conservante.

EMPRESA SOCIAL E O SEU PAPEL AMPLIADOR DA NOÇÃO DE FUNÇÃO SOCIAL DA EMPRESA
Authors: Nogueira Roberto Henrique Pôrto , Da Silva Leila Bitencourt Reis
Published: October 2018

É comum relacionar ações em prol de melhorias sociais a entidades sem fins lucrativos em detrimento de entes do segundo setor. Porém, as empresas sociais têm contribuído para relativizar essa divisão hermética entre a busca por lucros e a finalidade de amenizar dificuldades advindas da desigualdade econômica. Assim, objetiva-se sumarizar as principais características da empresa social para compreender em que medida esse modelo interfere no entendimento de função social da empresa, conforme as concepções da igualdade como virtude soberana articulada por Dworkin. Conclui-se que, ao primar pelo desenvolvimento das capacidades dos indivíduos e da efetivação da condição de agente dos afetados por suas ações, a empresa social colabora com concretização do ideal de igual respeito e consideração dworkiniano. Para tanto, fez-se uso de processo de estudo jurídico-descritivo de dados advindos de fontes primárias e secundárias sobre os principais aspectos da empresa social, com destaque para o fato de que a centralidade do valor social a diferencia da responsabilidade social empresarial. Portanto, amplia-se a concepção de função social da empresa ao conceber sua aptidão eventual para assumir objeto híbrido, que supera a perspectiva minimalista de função social (geração de riquezas e empregos, recolhimento de tributos, não gerar prejuízos a stakeholders).
ESTRATÉGIAS DE ENFRENTAMENTO AO DISCURSO DE ÓDIO NA INTERNET: O CASO ALEMÃO
Authors: Dias Oliva Thiago , Antonialli Dennys Marcelo
Published: October 2018

O discurso de ódio, muito embora seja um problema amplamente reconhecido, permanece controverso em diversos aspectos que vão desde a sua definição, os parâmetros para sua identificação no caso concreto até a resposta que se deve dar a ele, sobretudo do ponto de vista jurídico. O ambiente virtual veio acrescentar mais uma camada de complexidade ao problema, colocando novos obstáculos à construção de uma sociedade inclusiva e multicultural. Neste contexto, o Governo Federal da Alemanha aprovou lei mais agressiva no combate ao discurso de ódio na Internet. Em paralelo à aprovação da nova lei, novas iniciativas independentes surgem com o objetivo de fazer frente à crescente disseminação do ódio nas redes. Para tanto, são desenvolvidas abordagens alternativas centradas na noção de contradiscurso. Considerando que o combate à disseminação de ódio é uma questão premente também no Brasil, o presente trabalho propõe-se a investigar com maior detalhamento as estratégias de enfrentamento ao problema na Alemanha, com o objetivo de propor reflexões em território nacional sobre o caminho ideal para combater o problema por aqui. O estudo será norteado pelas seguintes perguntas: as iniciativas regulatórias propostas para combater o discurso de ódio online na Alemanha representam risco à liberdade de expressão? Existem outras formas de enfrentar o problema?
O REFLEXO DA SOCIEDADE DO HIPERCONSUMO NO INSTAGRAM E A RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL DOS INFLUENCIADORES DIGITAIS
Authors: Sartarello Barbosa Nathalia
Published: October 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a responsabilidade civil no Instagram a partir do contexto das obras de Gilles Lipovetsky sobre hiperconsumo e sociedade hedonista. A publicidade, que exerce um importante papel na formação de opinião dos consumidores, vem se difundindo gradativamente ao ponto de fazer uso das redes sociais para cumprir seu papel de divulgação de marcas. Para tanto, se beneficia da imagem dos influenciadores digitais em virtude da visibilidade que adquiriram através de seus perfis com milhares – e algumas vezes milhões – de seguidores. A vulnerabilidade dos consumidores é ainda mais acentuada dentro do cenário das redes sociais, onde a publicidade nem sempre é devidamente identificada. Dessa forma, pode-se causar confusão na opinião dos seguidores que muitas vezes são levados a crer que o produto sendo divulgado pelo influenciador digital é na verdade a expressão de sua preferência pessoal, e não uma parceria patrocinada. A legislação consumerista obriga a identificação de publicidade independentemente do meio em que é veiculada. Isto posto, parte-se para a análise da responsabilidade civil dos influenciadores digitais no Instagram.

Published: October 2018

Atmospheric correction is a necessary step in image processing data and spectra recorded by spaceborne sensors for pure cloudless atmosphere, primarily in the visible and near-IR spectral range. We have present a fast and sufficiently accurate method of atmospheric correction based on the proposed analytical solutions describing with high accuracy the spectrum of outgoing radiation at the top boundary of the cloudless atmosphere. This technique includes the model of the atmosphere and its optical parameters that are important in terms of radiation transfer. The solution of the inverse problem for finding unknown parameters of the model is carried out by the method of non-linear least squares (Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm) for an individual selected pixel of the image (its spectrum), taking into account the adjacency effects. Using the found parameters of the atmosphere and the average surface albedo, assuming homogeneity of the atmosphere within a certain area of the hyperspectral image (or the whole frame), the spectral albedo at the Earth's surface is calculated for all other pixels. It is essential that the procedure of the numerical simulation with non-linear least squares of the direct transfer problem is based on using analytical solutions, which provides a very short calculation time of the atmospheric parameters (seconds or less) and the ability to perform atmospheric correction "on-fly." Testing methods of atmospheric correction was performed using the synthetic outgoing radiation spectra at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), obtained by numerical simulation in the LibRadTran code, as well as spectra of real space images of the Hyperion hyperspectrometer. A comparison with the results of atmospheric correction in module FLAASH of ENVI package has been performed. Finally, to validate our data obtained by the SHARK method, a comparative analysis with ground-based measurements of Radiometric Calibration Network (RadCalNet) was carried out.

Previous research suggests that the economic crisis can affect mental health. The purpose of this study was to analyse the association of risk of poor mental health with various socioeconomic, demographic, health, quality of life and social support variables; and to evaluate the contribution of socioeconomic variables most affected by the beginning of the economic crisis (employment situation and income) on the changes in the prevalence of the risk of poor mental health between 2005 and 2010. A study of prevalence evolution in adult population residents of the Valencian Community in the Spanish Mediterranean was conducted. We studied 5781 subjects in 2005 and 3479 in 2010. Logistic regression models have been adjusted to analyse the association between variables. A standardization procedure was carried out to evaluate which part of the changes in overall prevalence could be attributed to variations in the population structure by age, sex, employment status and income between the years under study. The prevalence of GHQ + increased from 2005 to 2010, in both men and women. Several variables were closely associated with the risk of poor mental health (sex, age, country of birth, number of non-mental chronic diseases, social support, disability, cohabitation in couple, employment status, and income). The changes produced as a result of the onset of the economic crisis in income and unemployment (increase in low income and in unemployment rates) contributed to the increase of poor mental health risk. This could confirm the sensitivity of mental health to the economic deterioration caused by the crisis.
Surface Functionalisation of Upconversion Nanoparticles with Different Moieties for Biomedical Applications
Authors: Gee Alex , Xu Xiaoxue
Published: October 2018

Lanthanide ion doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that can convert low-energy infrared photons into high-energy visible and ultraviolet photons, are becoming highly sought-after for advanced biomedical and biophotonics applications. Their unique luminescent properties enable UCNPs to be applied for diagnosis, including biolabeling, biosensing, bioimaging and multiple imaging modality, as well as therapeutic treatments including photothermal and photodynamic therapy, bio-reductive chemotherapy and drug delivery. For the employment of the inorganic nanomaterials into biological environment, it is critical to bridge the gap in between nanoparticles and biomolecules via surface modifications and subsequent functionalisation. This work reviews the various ways to surface modify and functionalise UCNPs so as to impart different functional molecular groups to the UCNPs surfaces for a board range of applications in biomedical areas. We discussed commonly used base functionalities, including –COOH, -NH2 and –SH, that are typically imparted to UCNP surfaces so as to provide further functional capacity.
