Ações mitigadoras na desocupação de área de preservação permanente em Itajuípe, Bahia (Brasil)
Authors: Santos Márcia Verônica Oliveira de Jesus , Jesus Mário César Oliveira de , Lisboa Gustavo Joaquim , Pires Mônica De Moura
Published: August 2020

O artigo discute a ocupação irregular do bairro Sagrado Coração de Jesus, localizado em uma Área de Preservação Permanente, no município de Itajuípe, região Sul da Bahia, Brasil. Objetivou-se demonstrar os efeitos de ações mitigadoras adotadas por autoridades constituídas e o controle social numa área do município. A ocupação iniciou em 2002, quando surgiram as primeiras construções irregulares. Para analisar essa situação se realizou um estudo utilizando-se instrumentos estatísticos por meio de medidas de tendência central. As principais ações públicas para a desocupação da área foram definidas por um Termo de Ajustamento de Conduta entre autoridades municipais constituídas. Observou-se que o governo municipal de Itajuípe cumpriu, total ou parcialmente, as ações acordadas junto ao Ministério Público Estadual da Bahia, embora a desocupação da área tenha ocorrido em sua totalidade. Sob duas perspectivas são analisados os efeitos resultantes dessa desocupação: ambiental, as ações conjuntas permitiram a recuperação da área ao replantar árvores nativas onde antes existiam moradias; social, as famílias transferidas ainda demandam inúmeros serviços como saneamento básico adequado, coleta de lixo, drenagem, calçamento das ruas e esgotamento sanitário. Destarte, o resultado do acordo foi positivo, mas ainda necessita de ajustes a fim de proporcionar melhor qualidade de moradia às famílias.Ideias destacadas: artigo de pesquisa que descreveu soluções públicas para mitigar ações de desmatamento e ocupação desordenada de Área de Preservação Permanente no Município de Itajuípe, Estado da Bahia, Brasil. Os resultados mostraram uma inovação na implementação de políticas públicas envolvendo diversos atores sociais, com forte atuação dos mecanismos de controle social.
El proyecto de espaciología de Henri Lefebvre
Authors: Espinosa Hernández Rolando
Published: August 2020

Este artículo parte de la consideración del concepto de “espacio social” como clave constructiva, comprensiva e interpretativa del conjunto de la obra de Henri Lefebvre. Por consiguiente, se expone la genealogía del proyecto lefebvriano de “espaciología” (o análisis de la producción social del espacio social) y su importancia para el pensamiento crítico contemporáneo. A la par, se esclarece el fuerte ascendiente que tienen los planes de la crítica de la economía política, de Marx, en la pregunta lefebvriana por el espacio social y, consecuentemente, en la cuestión del desafío histórico que implica el dominio capitalista del espacio y las posibilidades de su emancipación. Finalmente, se caracteriza el alcance de la determinación nodal del concepto lefebvriano de espacio social: la “reproducción de las relaciones sociales de producción”. Ideas destacadas: artículo de reflexión que presenta avances de una investigación doctoral sobre el concepto de espacio social, de Henri Lefebvre, y el proyecto lefebvriano de una “espaciología” o analítica del espacio social y de su producción.
Segregação, vulnerabilidade e desigualdades sociais e urbanas
Authors: Carvalho Inaiá Maria Moreira
Published: August 2020

Com o avanço dos estudos sobre a segregação residencial, diversos autores têm discutido sobre os benefícios ou prejuízos que afetam diferentes grupos sociais em decorrência de sua localização no território das cidades. Inserindo-se nessa discussão, o presente artigo apresenta um estudo sobre esses fenômenos em Salvador, primeira capital e atualmente a terceira maior cidade brasileira, com base em dados dos Censos Demográficos de 2000 e 2010 e de outras fontes oficiais. Evidenciando como a apropriação diferenciada do território urbano interfere sobre o acesso a bens e serviços e sobre as oportunidades de vida, suas análises deixam patente como essa apropriação contribui para acentuar e reproduzir a vulnerabilidade e as desigualdades sociais.
Na encruzilhada entre “emancipação” e dominação: a narrativa ambientalista global e as políticas desenvolvimentistas de África
Authors: Mindoso André Victorino
Published: August 2020

O artigo se propõe a compreender a construção da narrativa ambientalista global e o lugar que o continente africano nela ocupa. Para o efeito, analisa documentos produzidos pelas Nações Unidas e União Africana, entre 1972 e 2002, e que versam sobre a questão do desenvolvimento, natureza e meio ambiente.  Os resultados da análise indicam que a dita narrativa obrigava os países a incorporarem a dimensão ambiental em suas políticas desenvolvimentistas. Dada a situação de pobreza dominante em África, contudo, o continente era encarado como incapaz de preservar a natureza, ao que deveria estar sob a tutela de países do norte-global. Sugeria-se que estes, por via da expansão de seu capital econômico e assistencialismo técnico, seriam capazes de eliminar a pobreza dos africanos e, consequentemente, os impediriam de agredir a natureza. Esta situação, contudo, conflitava com a agenda desenvolvimentista africana iniciada no pós-independência, e que via na exploração da natureza o caminho pelo qual alcançaria a sua emancipação econômica.
Family Functionality, cognitive status and social participation are related to survival in nonagenarians and centenarians: data from a Brazilian cohort study
Authors: Rigo Ilva Inês , Bós Ângelo José Gonçalves
Published: August 2020

Aim: To evaluate whether family functionality, using the instrument “Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve” (APGAR) and its components, as well as other health indicators, influences the survival of nonagenarians and centenarians.
Methods: Participants were randomly identified and evaluated in their homes of Porto Alegre — Brazil. Death or survival information were verified by telephone or death registry system. Follow-up time measured the number of months between the first evaluation and the date of death or the last contact. Participants with APGAR ≥ 7 were classified with good functionality. The APGAR components were analyzed as yes or no.
Results: Two-hundred-fourteen participants (73% women, age 92.4±3.59 years) were followed during 23±10.0 months. Sixty-on (28.5%) died. Survivors were younger (p<0.001), had better cognitive performance (p<0.001), and reported more frequently leaving home (p=0.010) and participating in social activities (p<0.001). Survivors had a similar frequency for good family functioning (90% p=0.994), but more often they were satisfied with their family time (p=0.032) and with the way the family showed affection and reacted to their feelings (p=0.083).
Conclusions: Family affection and time were significantly associated with lower hazard-ratio, even adjusted for age, as well as cognitive performance, social activities and the habit of leaving home. In addition to the preservation of cognitive performance, to remain physically and socially active, family support is related to the higher survival rate in nonagenarians and centenarians in Brazil.
Communicative and stylistic role of synonyms in the Moksha language
Authors: Sedova Polina E.
Published: August 2020

Introduction. The purpose of the work is to consider synonyms as lexical devices, their communicative and stylistic role in the Moksha language. The subject of the research is synonyms and their functions, the object is the Moksha language.
Materials and Methods. The material for the study is the synonyms collected from bilingual and multilingual dictionaries and used in the works of Moksha writers.
Results and Discussion. Synonyms in the Moksha language play a certain communicative and stylistic role. Structural, semantic and stylistic features of various types of synonyms are clearly shown in their main functions in the text. Stylistic synonyms, due to the interaction of the emotive and significative aspects of meaning, can cause their semantic “thickening”, therefore they can express a greater degree of quality, properties, actions in comparison with the corresponding neutral words, acting as a means of gradation.
Conclusion. The use of synonyms in oral and written speech significantly increases the level of speech culture.
Mordovian traditional women’s headdresses in the context of their ethnic and territorial identity
Authors: Kornishina Galina A.
Published: August 2020

Introduction. Being one of the elements of the traditional costume, headdresses retained ethnic characteristics for a long time. They were special markers of the ethnically determined worldview of their carriers and indicators of their ethnic and territorial identity. Women’s headdresses retained these identifying features the longest. The study was conducted in order to create a typology of women’s headdresses, which were traditional among the Mordovian population, in the context of the ethnic and territorial identity of their carriers.
Materials and Methods. The article considers the materials contained in research giving an idea of the problem. It also examined and generalized the author’s field materials collected in ethnographic trips. To achieve the goal of the study, a comparative historical method was used.
Results and Discussion. The study of various types of Mordovian women’s headdresses has revealed the diversity of their forms, material, decoration techniques and ways of wearing. The specific features of the elements of the traditional costume were closely interconnected with the ethnic and territorial identification of the people they belonged to. Both the main sub-ethnic groups of the Mordovians (Moksha and Erzia) and minor ethnic and territorial groups of the people had their own types of headdresses marked by their own local features.
Conclusion. The female headdress of Mordovians was one of the important differentiating ethnic features, which visually showed ethnic, territorial, tribal community belonging. To some extent this function is preserved at the present time. Even in those regions where Mordovians live and where almost all information about traditional clothes was erased from the memory of the local population, people tend to restore its individual elements, including headdresses, which become a kind of national symbol, a sign of ownership of their people.

Una aproximación a las cartas de relación de Pedro de Alvarado: Problemas ecdóticos y discurso caballeresco
Authors: Nogales Baena José Luis
Published: August 2020

Las dos cartas de relación de Pedro de Alvarado retratan de modo ejemplar la voz de uno de los principales protagonistas de la “conquista” y, en concreto, el discurso legitimador de la conquista o invasión de Centroamérica. No obstante, sorprende el poco interés que han despertado en los estudios coloniales. Así pues, este trabajo se propone un primer acercamiento en detalle a ambos escritos desde una doble perspectiva: la ecdótica y el análisis discursivo. En la primera parte, tras un sucinto estado de la cuestión, se estudia el problema textual que se deriva de lo poco atendidas que han sido estas relaciones, poniendo el énfasis, sobre todo, en cuestiones de crítica textual. En la segunda, el análisis se centra en dilucidar los principales rasgos discursivos que se desprenden de los dos textos, para lo cual se parte de la noción de “autor semiculto” introducida por la lingüística italiana y del concepto de “discurso caballeresco” tal y como lo define José Antonio Mazzotti a partir de las reflexiones de Rolena Adorno. El objetivo final es subrayar la importancia de estos dos textos en el corpus colonial y la necesidad de una edición crítica que les haga justicia.

Factors associated with postural control in nursing home residents
Authors: ErdŐs R.L. , Jónásné Sztruhár I. , Simon A. , Kovács É.
Published: August 2020

Purpose

Decline of the sensory and motor systems in older people negatively affects postural control. This increases the risk of falls, which is dangerous for older people in long-term care. Being aware of the quality of postural control and the factors affecting it among elderly people, is crucial in implementing an effective fall-prevention program. This study aimed to measure postural control and the demographic, health-related, and functional factors presumed to be correlated with it among nursing home residents. Another aim was to find valid screening tools based on these factors.

Materials and methods

Seventy one nursing home residents were included. Postural control was measured using the Berg Balance Scale. Grip strength, the 30-s chair stand test, and the Timed Up and Go test were used to measure global muscle strength, and functional mobility, respectively. The results of these functional tests were dichotomized using age-specific reference values.

Results

Postural control was significantly worse in those who did not reach the age-specific reference values in any of the three functional tests. Effect sizes were large for functional mobility and medium for muscle strength. Multimorbidity and gender had no effect on postural control in our sample.

Conclusions

Among nursing home residents, postural control is related to functional mobility and muscle strength. Thus, routine testing of these skills among elderly people is an important task of the physiotherapist.

Aqidah learning morality that there is prioritizing cognitive aspects, both concerning the divinity and humanity that want to be instilled and developed into students themselves. The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze; (1) Aqidah moral learning design using a contextual approach, (2) implementation of Aqidah morality learning (3) evaluating Aqidah morality learning using a contextual learning approach, (4) supporting and inhibiting factors, (5) advantages and disadvantages and (6) the effectiveness of contextual learning approaches in the subjects of Aqidah Morals to shape the Islamic character of students. Using descriptive qualitative methods with the type of analytic descriptive research. The data collection tool was obtained using: observation, interview, and study documentation. The data analysis procedures performed are data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions or verification. The results of this study show that the design of contextual learning in the subjects of Aqidah Akhlak uses the components of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) stages, namely constructivism (constructivism), finding (inquiry), asking (questioning), learning community (learning community), modelling (modelling), reflection (reflection), and actual assessment (authentic assessment). The implementation of Aqidah Akhlak learning by using a contextual approach in MA An-Nur Malangbong is following the learning design. While the inhibiting factors include: difficulty analyzing individual student differences, not all are suitable for using a contextual approach, as well as difficulties in conducting evaluation and time management that requires a lot of time. Meanwhile, the contextual approach to the subjects of Aqidah Akhlak carried out at MA An-Nur Malangbong for the formation of Islamic character in students can be said to be very effective. This can be seen from the increase in their learning outcomes for the five Islamic characters analyzed, namely honesty, discipline, responsibility, cooperation and courtesy, experiencing an average increase from 2.44 to 3.3.

Feminist Interpretations of Witches and the Witch Craze in Contemporary Art by Women
Authors: Deepwell Katy
Published: August 2020

This article considers feminist interpretations of the witch in contemporary art in relation to the witch craze: examples are by Georgia Horgan, Ann-Sofi Sidén, Mathilde ter Heijne, Monica Sjöö, Tania Antoshina, Helen Chadwick, Jesse Jones, and Carolee Schneemann. The argument explores the ways that the figure of the witch is analyzed in three different feminist critiques of patriarchy, and subsequently pursues how these ideas have been taken up in contemporary art by these women artists. The differences between three authors: Matilda Joslyn Gage (1893); Mary Daly (1984); and Silvia Federici (2004) are highlighted and contrasted to other historians’ analyses from the last thirty years of the fate of women accused as witches during the European Witch Hunt between the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. This was a paper given at Misogyny: Witches and Wicked Bodies, Institute of Contemporary Arts, (ICA) London in March 2015.
Wolves Amongst the Sheep
Authors: Filip Mariusz
Published: August 2020

In this paper I investigate the meaning of “ritual robes” within the contemporary Pagan movement. Although they are a kind of cultural icon, I argue that for some Pagans they may be of minor significance. In the case of the Order of Zadruga (Northern Wolf) from Poland, I seek to demonstrate how a paramilitary uniform may become a sign of extreme right-wing Slavic Paganism. The examination of the uniform’s aesthetics leads to revealing the connection with so called Aryan ethics as well as “natural poetics.” An attempt of the naturalizing view would be a final step.
Hashtag Heathens
Authors: Downing Ross
Published: August 2020

A rising number of young adult females use Instagram, posting pictures with hashtags which alert Instagram users to their specific interests. Heathens have also begun to use Instagram and in order to better understand this new feature of the religious movement I interviewed fifteen Instagram account owners whom I identified by three factors.

1. Their use of three or more of the following hashtags: #norsewitch #heathengirl #seidr #volva #galdr #norsepagan #heathensofInstagram #witch #runes #viking #shamanism #witchesofInstagram2. Their personal identification as Heathen, Asatru, Norse Pagan, or otherwise expressing spiritual belief in a Nordic mythology.3. The account had at least 500 followers, indicating the likelihood of having an impact on Heathens, Pagans, and sympathetic individuals.

My focus is to document the processes and dynamics of Instagram as a medium for religious communication from the point of view of producers of religious content: the alpha Instagram account owners. The data shows that these young females apply significant theological thought in their posts and most have a strong sense of responsibility to teach others about Heathenry. The data departs from previous research on Instagram and Heathenry in that the account owners appear to have altruistic motives in the first instance and an affirmative non-political epistemology in the second.

Nuevo año, nuevas preguntas, nuevas personas, nuevas investigaciones. Respecto a la investigación “Pulsiones y Drogas” que venimos desarrollando desde el 2019-2. Se debe recordar que para la presente investigación se indago y utilizo la teoría clásica de Freud, la cual establece a manera muy general que el ser humano desde un principio buscaría satisfacer o descargar la sensación de placer. Sin embargo, con el tiempo madura y va aprendiendo que esa descarga debe postergarse, hallando nuevos modos que sean aceptables y ajustables a esa realidad. Lo anterior, estaría pues ligado al concepto de “Trieb” o pulsión, y sus cuatro elementos que estarían presentes durante todo el proceso (Freud, 1930). A partir de ello, se han generado adelantos importantes, entre estos la primera salida a recogida de datos.

Authors: Merizalde Dennys Leonardo Abril , Trujillo Catherine Andrade , Luna María Luisa Pontón
Published: August 2020

Introducción: La presencia de síndrome metabólico en pacientes con obesidad es considerado un problema de salud pública en el mundo, ya que su diagnóstico se construye a partir de varios factores de riesgo cardiometabólico. La circunferencia del cuello (CCUE) es una medición nueva que pudiera estar relacionada con estos factores de riesgo. Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre el síndrome metabólico y la CCUE en pacientes de 40 a 64 años de edad del Centro de Atención Nutricional Nature. Metodología: El estudio fue de tipo descriptivo, no experimental, transversal, con método analítico. La muestra que se obtuvo fue de 78 pacientes atendidos en consulta externa, mujeres de entre 40 y 64 años de edad. La obesidad cervical se diagnosticó en pacientes que presentaban una CCUE mayor a 35cm. Resultados: Se evidencia una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la CCUE con el perímetro abdominal (r=0.50 p=0.00), IMC (r=0.59 p=0.00) y glucosa (r=0.39 p=0.00). Conclusión: Al analizar la relación entre la presencia de Síndrome Metabólico y CCUE se determina una relación positiva entre los indicadores del diagnóstico de Síndrome Metabólico (perímetro abdominal y glucosa) y la CCUE, por lo que se recomienda la incorporación de esta medida antropométrica dentro de la valoración antropométrica de la atención nutricional en pacientes con sobrepeso y obesidad.

Published: August 2020

Quedas podem gerar prejuízos físicos e/ou psicológicos nos pacientes hospitalizados, além de aumento do tempo de permanência e custos da internação. Dentre os múltiplos fatores de risco associados à ocorrência de quedas, o uso de medicamentos que potencializam o risco e a polifarmácia devem ser considerados. Objetivos:  estimar a magnitude do efeito da exposição de pacientes adultos à polifarmácia e ao uso de Fall-Risk-Increasing Drugs sobre o risco de queda associado ao uso de medicamentos durante a internação hospitalar. Métodos: estudo quantitativo, transversal, realizado em um hospital geral de médio porte, localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A análise estatística foi realizada a partir de regressões logísticas simples e múltiplas. Resultados: observou-se associação entre a prescrição de Fall-Risk-Increasing Drugs e o alto risco de queda associado ao uso de medicamentos, com  OR de 13,53 IC 95% (1,83 – 606,58). A ocorrência de polifarmácia na coorte estudada foi de 81,4% (n=57). Do total de pacientes que fizeram uso de polifarmácia (n=57), 82,5% também fizeram uso de algum Fall-Risk-Increasing Drugs. O número de pacientes com polifarmácia que usaram e não usaram Fall-Risk-Increasing Drugs foi significativo estatisticamente (p-valor < 0,05). Conclusão: os resultados do estudo sugerem que o uso de Fall-Risk-Increasing Drugs é um importante fator contribuinte para o aumento do risco e de quedas entre pacientes em uso de polifarmácia e por isso precisa ser considerado nos protocolos de prevenção.

Knowledge and knowers in teaching and learning: an enhanced approach to curriculum alignment
Authors: Clarence Sherran
Published: August 2020

John Biggs’ well-known curriculum design approach, constructive alignment, is widely used in higher education in the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. Developed with one dominant account of learning through curriculum, this approach has a gap in terms of accounting for other kinds of knowledge building, and associated knower development. This paper proposes a complementary approach that accounts for different kinds of knowledge and knower building. Using Legitimation Code Theory’s concept of Specialisation, the paper argues that accounting for what makes a discipline ‘special’ in terms of its basis for legitimate achievement can enable curriculum writers to align curricula more effectively with that basis in different disciplines. Using a case study approach, this paper shows how this tool can provide lecturers and academic development practitioners with a useful mode of analyzing curriculum alignment to more ably account for differential development of disciplinary knowledges and knowers.
"Doing something in life”: Rural youth reimagining technical vocational education and training
Authors: Maluleke Lucky , Harley Anne
Published: August 2020

Recent post-schooling policy continues to emphasise the importance of technical vocational education and training (TVET) for employability in the workplace, thus largely reflecting the interests of capital. However, the discourse of educating for employability is under increasing attack as unemployment levels rise; and recent policy has begun to argue for a consideration of skills for livelihoods other than formal employment. Unemployment disproportionately affects the youth and those living in rural areas, and TVET policy has begun to address this. However, such policy remains firmly within neoliberalism, and does not address the interests or lived experience of rural youth. A reimagining of TVET is required. In this, there is a need to understand what rural youth themselves consider to be most appropriate for local development needs. This article reports on a qualitative study done with ten youth from Limpopo Province to investigate what sort of TVET out-of-school youth consider to be relevant in their context.

Published: August 2020

The purpose of this article is to describe the different dimensions of the community- university interactions that emanated from a Community Engagement Audit which was undertaken at the University of Limpopo (UL) in 2014. The Audit methodology followed a quantitative survey research approach. A sample of 278, out of a population of 559 academic staff at UL that included 196 with PhDs and 363 without PhDs, participated in the study. SPSS was used to compute factor analysis. The results indicated the dominant partners that faculties interact with across the spheres of engaged scholarship were multi-national companies, small, medium and micro-enterprises, national regulatory and advisory and sectorial organisations. The types of relationship with external social actors were contract research, continuing education and collaborative research and development projects. Channels of information were popular publications, public conferences, seminars or workshops, oral or written testimony or advice prominent. The outputs were new or improved products/processes, scientific discoveries and community infrastructure and facilities. The outcomes and benefits were regional development, improved quality of life for individuals and communities and research focus and research projects, theoretical and methodological development in an academic field, academic and institutional reputation. The main constrains experienced during engagement are lack of academic resources and institutional support and relationships with external social partners. The results provide guiding parameters to improve the scale and reach of CE at the UL and a snapshot of the architecture and terrain of engaged scholarship at a rural-based HEI in South Africa.
A capability analysis on the implementation of the school progression policy and its impact on learner performance
Authors: Munje Paul , Maarman Rouaan
Published: August 2020

This paper focuses on the extent and consequences of learner progression in the form of ‘automatic promotion’ or grade promotion for reasons other than academic achievement, as propagated by the existing School Progression Policy (SPP) and how its implementation affects learner performance. The paper argues that, although the advantages and disadvantages of grade retention and automatic promotion, or the promotion of learners that do not possess the required content knowledge, are highly contentious, the SPP produces numerous complexities and unfreedoms on learners when examined through the lens of the Capabilities Approach (CA). Based on a study of three Quintile-1 (Q-1) primary schools in Cape Town, the paper argues that, although the SPP is ambitious and well intentioned, critical implementation and monitoring challenges negatively reconfigures the educational aspirations of primary school learners. The paper also reveals that the implementation of the SPP imposes many unfreedoms for both learners and teachers in high poverty level areas. The study revealed that the CA, despite its limitations in terms of conceptualisation, does provide a unique framework to investigate real freedoms and unfreedoms of the SPP.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) is a monomeric serine-threonine kinase discovered in 1980 in a rat skeletal muscle. It has been involved in various cellular processes including embryogenesis, immune response, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, wound healing, neurodegeneration and carcinogenesis. GSK3 exists in two different isoforms, GSK3α and GSK3β, both containing seven antiparallel beta-plates, a short linking part and an alpha helix, but coded by different genes and variously expressed in human tissues. In the current review, we comprehensively appraise the current literature on the role of GSK3 in various cancers with emphasis on ovarian carcinoma. Our findings indicate that the role of GSK3 in ovarian cancer development cannot be decisively determined as the currently available data support both prooncogenic and tumor-suppressive effects. Likewise, the clinical impact of GSK3 expression on ovarian cancer patients and its potential therapeutic implications are also limited. Further studies are needed to fully elucidate the pathophysiological and clinical implications of GSK3 activity in ovarian cancer.
Revisitando a Teoria da Criação do Conhecimento Organizacional
Authors: Roza Rodrigo Hipólito
Published: August 2020

A teoria da criação do conhecimento organizacional apresentou ampla aceitação e impacto nos meios acadêmico e profissional, quando foi publicada há mais de duas décadas, condição esta que se manteve ao longo dos anos. Conceitualmente, ela considera duas dimensões, epistemológica e ontológica, para abordar como ocorre a criação do conhecimento nas organizações. Contudo, desde sua publicação, o contexto em que as organizações estão inseridas sofreu profundas transformações, notadamente no que se refere à produção e disseminação de informação, tendo como base os avanços das tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TIC). O objetivo deste artigo foi revisitar a teoria de criação do conhecimento organizacional, enfatizando o papel da informação, enquanto conhecimento inscrito, e das TIC no apoio à criação do conhecimento nas organizações. De modo geral, os resultados apontaram para uma vasta aplicação das TIC na promoção do conhecimento e uma ascensão dos recursos tecnológicos rumo aos níveis de informação e conhecimento no âmbito organizacional.

La vid para elaborar vinos se ha cultivado durante los últimos 25 años en 18municipios de Boyacá (Colombia), donde las condiciones de trópico alto no presentan ambientes de frío suficiente, lo que genera una brotación baja e irregular, y, en consecuencia, producciones bajas y desuniformes. El ajo se ha reconocido como agente inductor de brotación, pero no se ha evaluado bajo condiciones tropicales. Se evaluó el efecto del extracto de ajo en la inducción de la brotación en uva de la variedad clonal Riesling x Silvaner, en elmunicipio de Corrales (Boyacá). Se empleó un diseño completamente al azar con cuatro tratamientos (extracto de ajo al 100%, extracto de ajo al 50%, cianamida hidrogenada y testigo) y cinco repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron aplicados directamente sobre las yemas inmediatamente después de la poda, con ayuda de un pincel. Se determinó el porcentaje de brotación (PB), el tiempomedio de brotación (TMB), la velocidad media de brotación (VMB), el área foliar y el número de hojas, brotes y racimos. La aplicación de ajo al 50% presentó significativamente el mayor PB, el menor TMB y lamayor VMB; además, pero sin diferencias estadísticas, una respuesta favorable en el área foliar y en el número de hojas, brotes y racimos de plantas de uva. Se concluye que las aplicaciones de ajo son una alternativa importante en la inducción de la brotación en yemas de la variedad Riesling x Silvaner.

Biostimulants can potentially improve plant growth and development, modifying physiological processes. This study evaluated the effect of four biostimulants on the growth of ‘Hartón’ plantain plants and the leaf gas exchange during the vegetative phase. This experiment was developed on a plantain farm’s nursery in Fuente de Oro (Colombia) with a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The treatments were the biostimulants: Bactox WP®: Bacillus subtilis (Bs); Baliente®: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Ba); Tierra Diatomeas®: silicon dioxide (Si); Re-Leaf®: salicylic acid (SA) and the control (water). All products had a positive effect on the accumulation of total dry matter (DM) (between 58.4 and 21.9%) and on the photosynthetic activity (a maximum of 110 and 24.3% in first and second evaluation), as compared to the control, while no differences were found (P>0.05) for the foliar emission rate and chlorophyll content between the treatments. The plants treated with Bs had the greatest DM accumulation at the end of the study and a constant, high photosynthetic activity. All the while Bs, Ba and Si managed to stimulate greater early photosynthetic activity. According to the results, the use of these biostimulants during the vegetative phase had an effect on the physiological processes that enhance DM accumulation in plantain plants, which could be potentially useful for the transplanting stage and increase the reserves used during their establishment and development in the field.

Worldwide, the second most traded fruit is banana, which is highly appreciated by Brazilian consumers. Moreover, new technologies have been used to improve fruit quality during cultivation. This study aimed to assess the influence of plastic bag colors on the production and quality of banana ‘BRS Conquista’. The treatments consisted of the use of commercial polypropylene bags e colored white, black, red or blue, in addition to the control (non-bagged). This study used a randomized complete block design with five treatments, four replicates and four plants per plot, totalling 80 plants. The assessments consisted of bunch mass; rachis mass; fruit total mass; mean cluster mass; number of fruits per bunch and per cluster; and fruit length and diameter; along with fruits physicochemical traits, such as soluble solids, titratable acidity, pulp/peel ratio and maturation index. The results indicated that no interference was obtained from the different plastic bag colors in the productive variables. However, a greater content of soluble solids was observed in the non-bagged bunches.

The physical characteristics of cashew-dwarf peduncles were evaluated to later indicate the best clones for natural consumption and/or processing, considering that consumers appreciate products for their visual attractiveness. The objective of this study was to analyze peduncles of dwarf cashew clones obtained from the Genetic Improvement Program of Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical, Cruz-CE experimental area, in order to make inferences about the physical characteristics and indicate the best clones for natural consumption and/or processing. The analyzed variables were: total mass of the cashew (MT), chestnut mass (MC), peduncle mass (MP), apical diameter (DA), basal diameter (DB), length and firmness. The experiment design was a randomized complete block design with 25 treatments (clones) with 3 replications and up to 12 cashews per plot (four plants in total). The analysis of variance and the comparison of the means by the Scott and Knott test was realized. When analyzing the MT values, it was found that 100% of the clones were classified as types 4 (approximately 150 g), 5 (approximately 100 g) and 6 (approximately 150 g) cashews/tray. As for MC, there was a variation from 8.18 to 15.08 g. General averages of 95.16, 50.07 and 41.38 mm were found for the variables length, DB and DA of peduncle, respectively. It is concluded that, in general, all clones presented good characteristics; however, clone 108-6 is the preference for most consumers since it has red staining, as did the control (CCP 76). Therefore, all clones presented desirable characteristics for natural consumption and/or processing.
Seed dormancy and germination in tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav.) and lulo (Solanum quitoense Lam.)
Authors: Torres-González Alba Marina
Published: August 2020

Tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav.) and lulo (Solanum quitoense Lam.) fruits enjoy high consumption and commercialization in Colombia. Seed dormancy has been reported for both species, and their propagation depends on seeds. The optimal germination conditions for these species are not well known. Thus, the temperature regimes for the seed germination were based on the mean, minimum and maximum temperatures of the locations where the crops were grown. Germination tests were carried out in four replicates of 50 seeds each on Petri dishes for both crops. Six temperature conditions and four pre-treatments were evaluated to break the seed dormancy for several seed lots. S. betaceum and S. quitoese exhibited shallow seed dormancy, and less dormancy was detected in the commercialized cultivars, such as S. betaceum cv. Tamarillo and S. quitoense (i.e. common lulo). For both species, the most recently harvested seeds had more germination capacity than the seeds stored for several months at a low seed moisture content (4%) and low storage temperature (20°C). The seed dormancy of S. betaceum and S. quitoense was broken successfully by applying GA3 (2,000 mg L-1) or alternating temperatures (e.g. 25/15°C). However, both treatments at the same time did not provide an additional benefit to promote seed germination. Potassium nitrate (1%) promoted seed germination in the S. betaceum seeds at both constant and alternating temperatures and in the S. quitoense seeds, only when alternating temperatures were applied. The application of GA3 increased the rate of germination more than KNO3 for both species at all temperatures. Using any of these treatments would work well to break seed dormancy in S. betaceum and S. quitoense, and the most convenient option could be selected depending upon budget and other resources.
