Caracterización de la problemática en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la física en secundaria
Authors: Carpio Chavarría Carolina
Published: September 2020

The object of study of this article is to show how some of the causes associated with the disappointing results of the learning of physics in high school have a close relationship with the dominant traditionalist methodology in the teaching of this subject. This article comes from a master's graduation project titled “Diseño y producción del curso en línea ‘Aprendiendo a enseñar Física: Hacia un cambio en la labor docente’ apoyado con un material didáctico multimedial.” A theoretical analysis was done, and a survey instrument was conducted with a small sample of students, teachers, and some specialists to describe the current situation. This activity corroborated the relationship between difficulties a student may have when learning physics and the way teachers teach. There are deficiencies that make high-school natural science teachers not to be adequately prepared to teach the subject. It is necessary for universities to review and update their programs, paying careful attention to specific didactic and pedagogic mediation as well as the use of technology to support physics instruction. Therefore, teachers can come up with effective practices and innovative methods to teach high-school students. Natural science instruction should establish the construction of concepts by concrete experiences, experiments, and activities for exploration. Therefore, classes should become learning dynamic environments where students have the chance to participate actively, taking advantage of technological tools to achieve curricular objectives. All this can positively affect the quality of instruction in high-schools, promote a significant learning, and improve motivation and interest in natural science.

Tejiendo procesos de aprendiencia por medio de las TIC: UNA experiencia con docentes de la zona rural
Authors: Colindres Molina Dilia , Quirós Menéses Elionay , Fernández Valverde Marvin , Azofeifa Lizano Ana
Published: September 2020

This article describes the results of a workshop developed with a group of elementary and high school teachers from the rural zone of Nicoya, where they had the opportunity to elaborate materials and teaching resources supported by information and communication technologies (ICT’s) that they later used in the development of their classes according to their different specialties. The process began with a diagnosis to understand the necessary training topics for the teachers from this zone. Then, the researchers met week by week in order to integrate technologies with the topics of the courses mentioned previously. Later, when the workshops were developed, the opinion of the teachers regarding the work done by the facilitators was evaluated, and the learning process was peer evaluated. In this way, the strengths and opportunities for improvement in the pedagogic mediation processes were identified. This methodology allowed for transformations to begin the learning processes, improving and positively impacting the student body, teachers, and the traditional curriculum that has always been used and to begin taking actions conducive to curriculum integration mediated by technologies.

The theoretical framework includes topics about the current Educational Policy issued by the Ministry of Education. The methodology is located in the tradition of the naturalistic paradigm, but it includes the collection, analysis and linking of qualitative and quantitative data in the same study. Among the key findings of this research, the relevance of the communication process to achieve good learning stands out along with the importance of having a classroom where respect and cooperation among others prevail.
Recuerdos de mi vida de estudiante en el Instituto Pedagógico de la Universidad de Chile. 1951-1956
Authors: Barrera Romero Manuel
Published: September 2020

This memoir is a simple story of my experience as student of Philosophy at the Pedagogical Institute of the University of Chile in the 50s. In those times, this academic unit attracted professors and students interested in the culture, the art, and the subjects of the political development of the country. In its classrooms and the patios of the campus, an atmosphere of great cultural wealth was lived. It was an important center in the national evolution towards an intellectual opening of a very conservative society. After the military coup of September of 1973, the Institute was taken and split from the University of Chile, creating a wanted University of Educational Sciences. In this way, a dispersion of professors and students took place, many of whom left to exile. In this story, I talk about my memories of my joyful and painful life as a student, nostalgias contaminated by the natural emotion that causes one to pay attention to juvenile experiences in the context of cultural training mixed with friendship. There is neither a systematization of pedagogical experiences nor an analytical pretension of any sort.

La pedagogía de los caracoles: Chiapas y el sistema educativo Rebelde Zapatista de Liberación Nacional
Authors: Obando Arias Milagro
Published: September 2020

This article describes the premises that currently make up the educational system that has been developed since 1996 in the autonomous indigenous Zapatista communities from Chiapas in the Mexican SouthWest. As a curricular proposal, the “Sistema Educativo Rebelde Zapatista” in Chiapas responds to a specific civil society project and to a specific vision of the human being. To find these tenets, it is necessary to examine the movements that have been developed during twenty years of struggle, actions, and transformations in this society, a society that has declared itself autonomous from the federal government of Mexico. The pedagogical importance of analyzing this type of experiences lies in the possibility of building educational proposals from and for our geopolitical reality. Likewise, it is necessary to know alternative and diverse pedagogies from a critical standpoint.
Prácticas académicas inclusivas en el aula universitaria: un aprendizaje intercambiable
Authors: Cubero Vásquez Karol Viviana , Villanueva Monge Lucia Svetlana
Published: September 2020

In our university classrooms, there is an imperative need for implementing new educational practices that allow all students to participate actively and equally in the learning process. A change is required in the teaching-learning methodology to assure a more cooperative, inclusive, dynamic, and fair learning process based on by team work and peer support with tutoring given by students to their classmates. This practice not only benefits the student facing some difficulties, who learns with the support of one of his/her classmate but also  brings advantages to the student that teaches because with this, knowledge is reinforced, and thus when he or she teaches, he or she learns. When this practice is promoted, values such as solidarity, cooperation, responsibility, harmony, and friendship are shared among all the participants involved in the process. This article supports a cooperative learning process enriched with activities that value team work and tutoring among students, seeking a significant, effective, and interactive learning process that can lead to a more integral education of the learner.
Constructivismo en los procesos de educación en línea
Authors: Vargas López Carlos , Jiménez Sánchez Susana Isabel
Published: September 2020

Constructivism, as a pedagogical theory in which teaching and learning processes are framed, has been the basis for face-to-face educational practice, but is it applicable to teaching and learning online? This question was the starting point for this article. Thus, a literature review about constructivism—its definition, advantages, disadvantages, and applicability in online education was conducted. Even though there is a single definition for constructivism, there are scholars who believe it has no real use for teaching and learning; it is this plurality that gives it wide possibilities of usage in online education.
Teoría de la educación y filosofía
Authors: Villalobos Paniagua Ricardo Antonio
Published: September 2020

The Theory of Education cannot be disengaged from Philosophy, so it is necessary for the teacher contemporary to have philosophical principles and concepts, be them anthropological or epistemological. The role of philosophy education gives to the teacher cognitive a input that enriches his or her teaching practice. This essay consideres such symbiosis as education-philosophy, elaborating on ideas that lead to reflection on the development of education as a theoretical process, and from this to pedagogical practice, which generates new didactic theories framed in the necessity that education in general indentifies in philosophy its epistemological and vital basis particularly in university teaching.

Educación Musical. ¿Para qué?
Authors: Zárate Montero María Jesús
Published: September 2020

"Teacher? teacher?," said Laura.

"Yes, tell me!", her teacher replied, from the safety of his desk, without even raising his eyes from the music history book with which he read in a confused way to a sleepy and bored seventh grade group . That "yes, tell me" seemed more like a blunt "now what? Can't you see that I'm busy educating you?"
Género en la educación: un desafío para todos...
Authors: De León Quintana Beysi
Published: September 2020

All over the world, a good education is the key to building a better future as it helps individuals to fully realize themselves. Isn't this, perhaps, the goal of education? If we take this premise as a basis, this essay aims to create in the reader a moment of critical reflection on the way in which the educational experience develops, from a gender perspective in the classroom, and how this situation influences, day by day, society as a whole. Likewise, this is a clear invitation to teachers to break with those rigid dynamics present in the management of classes, which have allowed the consolidation of stereotypes that are opposed to the socio-educational advances that the country requires.

Authors: Borromeo García César Augusto , Ramírez Hernández Moisés
Published: September 2020

This paper shows the preliminary results of two graduate research projects whose objectives are to know how Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) are used by teachers in their teaching process in two different disciplines at the Universidad Veracruzana: English Language and Pedagogy. For the collection of data, a questionnaire from ”Brecha digital entre estudiantes y profesores de la Universidad Veracruzana: Capital cultura; trayectorias escolares y desempeño académico; y grado de apropiación tecnológica” was administered to 55% (35) of English Language teachers and 88% (44) of Pedagogy; this article shows the results related to the use of social media. The main results highlight that the use of e-mail and social media are the most widely used tools by the teachers in both disciplines with means of socialization, communication and information exchange. The differences are minimal in the use of social media, but it is important to point out that they are used more by Pedagogy than English Language teachers. Finally, the ends by setting ground for future researches focused on specialized social media for each discipline, media that exists, but that are not exploited to its fullest.

Prefacio
Authors: Mora Alvarado Maynor Antonio
Published: September 2020

I am very flattered by the fact that I have been commissioned to write the preface to this beautiful philosophical/pedagogical work. The book you are holding in your hands responds to a concern not only academic by the authors, but above all political, about the role of pedagogy and teaching regarding the learning process of philosophy. From the beginning, we observe that this learning is not understood as an isolated issue or different from the philosophical task, but that in itself, it already implies philosophizing. In other words, the learning and, to some extent, the teaching of philosophy cannot be separated from philosophy itself.
La enseñanza de la filosofía desde nuestra realidad latinoamericana: El caso de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica
Authors: Gómez Torres Juan Rafael , Ureña Soto Omar J.
Published: September 2020

To start this essay, we turn to an old question: Is there Philosophy in Latin America? According to Estermann, the knowledge of indigenous peoples is undoubtedly Philosophy, at least in a broad sense if Latin American Philosophy is conceived as the human effort to understand the world (2009), through cosmogonic speculation and questioning or if it is seen as an epistemological, metaphysical, ethical, and political aestheticization process (of course, these terms must be relativized when referring to the indigenous world), which has myth as its starting point and cosmogony as a complex unit that condenses the mythical links (Cassirer, 2012).

After this tour of various topics that revolve around the theme of Pedagogy in the teaching/learning process of Philosophy, we can reach the following conclusions about the need and urgency of undisciplining teaching, the above as a closure, but being clear that we are not making an epistemological lock but an ethical-political opening of Pedagogy itself:
El cine de terror en la enseñanza de la filosofía
Authors: Porras Navarro Daniel , Romero Castro María José
Published: September 2020

With this paper, we intend to resignify the use of non-traditional film productions in education (specifically, horror films) as a means of pedagogical transposition. This is intended to generate an interest that leads to the generation of knowledge by students from something as ordinary as watching a movie. In turn, bringing cinema to classes (specifically a cinema as unexpected and transgressive as horror), could promote the redefinition of space, of the academic, of Philosophy itself and even of everyday life.
Freire y la Pedagogía del Oprimido
Authors: Rivas Monge Óscar
Published: September 2020

Education plays a fundamental role in the composition of the world; it is through this that the species evolves and knowledge passes from generation to generation throughout history. However, this anthropological condition is taken advantage of by the ruling classes to perpetuate their condition of power, which leads us to speak specifically of types of education, or else -for the rescue of its concept-, of education or indoctrination.
Determination of compounds in Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. bark and its fermentation products via headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry
Authors: Wang Zhihong , Peng Mijun , She Zhigang , Qiu Yu , Yang Qiuling , Zhang Minglong , Huang Tao , Shi Shuyun , Zhang Changwei
Published: September 2020

The flavor fingerprint of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. bark (EUb) and its fermentation product were investigated, and volatile compounds were analyzed using headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA). A total of 71 peaks were identified, of which 51 target compounds were characterized, including alcohols, aldehydes, acids, and esters. The gallery plot contained 186 signal peaks. The results indicate there were significant differences in the volatile constituents of the three edible fungi. Furthermore, EUb also had its own unique composition of volatile components, and after fermentation with different edible fungi, the volatile components in the product changed significantly compared to the raw materials. A PLS-DA was performed based on the signal intensity of the target volatile compounds obtained; the results clearly showed that the samples (edible fungi, EUb, and different fermentation products) in a relatively independent space were well distinguished. This further illustrated that the composition and content of volatile components from EUb were significantly changed by microorganisms through bio-fermentation. Combining the signal intensity of the flavor substance, the difference between the different fermentation products was also clearly observed, and the flavor compound’s fingerprint was established by HS-GC-IMS and PLS-DA methods.
Appropriate technology in an age of renewables
Authors: Hubbe Martin A.
Published: September 2020

In this editorial the author proposes that scientists and technologists can play essential roles in the selection of technological alternatives that are appropriate to people’s long-term needs. Lessons learned in the 1970s and 80s, involving the design of simple and reliable mechanical systems for underdeveloped regions, can have relevance today in an increasingly interdependent, crowded, and polluted world. Specialists can help in two ways to promote technologies that make sense, providing for future well-being, and minimizing risks. First, we can exercise personal judgment in our work, as we pursue technological progress. We need to consider whether the likely products of our work are compatible with the world that we want to leave for our grandchildren. Second, we can provide guidance to our fellow citizens, as society grapples with the political and economic choices associated with progress.
Improving water resistance of wheat straw-based medium density fiberboards bonded with aminoplastic and phenolic resins
Authors: Hervillard Thomas , Cao Qi , Laborie Marie-Pierre G.
Published: September 2020

A long standing problem in the manufacture of wheat-straw based composites with cost-effective formaldehyde-based resins is their poor water resistance as demonstrated by their large water thickness swell. In this study, wheat straw based medium density fiberboards were manufactured using 3 resin/wax systems: a melamine-urea-formalde-hyde resin with either low or high wax content, and a phenol-formal-dehyde resin with low wax content. The flexural properties, internal bond strength, and thickness swell of the resulting composites were evaluated and compared according to ASTM methods. The three MDF compos-ites passed the requirements for MDF in interior application, except for the MDF manufactured with the aminoplastic resin and low wax content that failed to provide acceptable thickness swell. Using the phenolic resin in combination with low wax content resulted in a higher grade MDF composite, grade 120, than with the aminoplastic and high wax content. This study demonstrates that wheat straw based MDF manu-factured with cost-effective aminoplastic and phenolic resins can have flexural properties, internal bond strength and thickness swell perfor-mance above the requirements from the American National Standards Institute.
The Construction of Meaning and Position of Mental Disorder Character in Three Romance Films
Authors: Mahmutami Dite Nursyamsi
Published: September 2020

This research discusses the representation and discourse which focused on the elements of characterization and narration which is presented by mental disorder character in Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Touched with Fire (2015), and The Other Half (2016). In this research, mental illness is not analyzed as a medical narration but also is one of signifying practices. The approaches of media representation analysis from Simon Cross (2014) and Harper (2008) are used to determine the representation of life experiences and disassemble the emerging discourses. The result indicates that when mental illness is represented in the romantic film, the stereotype about abnormality, rejection, and exclusion still becomes the main structure of the narrative. The romance story that wraps it up still refers to the stereotype. Therefore, those three films can be concluded as a part of dominant statements on abnormality discourse against mental disorder sufferers. In this case, mental disorder sufferers are subjected as a subject that must change. It is because only one choice for mental disorder sufferers to be accepted in society, that is recovery.Keywords: Mental Disorder Character, Discourse, Representation, Film
An application of a mixture of exponential distributions for assessing hazard rates from COVID-19
Authors: Polymenis Athanase
Published: September 2020

In the present study, we are interested in modeling repose time periods (the length of the time intervals between successive deaths) caused by a new, widespread disease called covid-19. This is useful for predicting probabilities of new deaths that occur within pre-determined time intervals. In practical applications, the choice of the statistical model is crucial for obtaining accurate estimates of death hazard rates. Based on an earlier research, we propose to use a mixture of exponential distributions; this model is simple to implement when hazard rates obtained from the components of the mixture are easily calculated, and it is adequate for dealing with nonstationary time series as those appearing in the case of this disease. The model is then applied to the example of Italy, and it appears to be also useful for comparing hazard rates along time.
Experimental evidence on the efficacy of two new metabolic modulators on mitochondrial biogenesis and function in mouse cardiomyocytes
Authors: Tedesco Laura , Rossi Fabio , Ruocco Chiara , Ragni Maurizio , Carruba Michele O. , Valerio Alessandra , Nisoli Enzo
Published: September 2020

Proper maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis is essential for cell health, and mitochondrial dysfunction underlies several metabolic and heart diseases. Stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis represents a valuable therapeutic tool for the prevention and treatment of disorders characterized by a deficit in energy metabolism. The present study aimed to potentiate the mitochondrial biogenetic efficacy of an amino acid (AA) mixture, enriched in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which we previously showed to boost mitochondrial biogenesis, leading to life span extension and reducing of muscle and liver damage. Hence, we designed and studied several innovative mixtures. Here, we report on two new AA formulas, α5 and E7, created on the BCAA-enriched amino acid mixture (BCAAem) template and enriched with Krebs cycle substrates, including succinate, malate, and citrate. Cardiomyocytes in culture exposed to either mixture showed increased mitochondrial DNA amount, mitochondrial biogenesis markers, and oxygen consump-tion. Furthermore, α5 and E7 also increased the expression of BCAA catabolic genes. Most importantly, all of these effects of α5 and E7 were more pronounced than those observed with BCAAem, confirming the higher mitochondrial biogenesis potential of these new formulas. Therefore, α5 and E7 could represent a more efficient tool for the nutritional treatment of diseases in which energy production is defective.

Partisipasi Politik Perempuan Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Warjiyati Sri
Published: September 2020

Abstract: This article discusses political participation of women from the perspective of Islamic law.Â  In paricular, it will highlights a women political organization called KPPI (Kaukus Politik Perempuan Indonesia or Indonesian political women caucus).Â  There are obstacles and challenges for improving women political participation due to personal, internal and external issues. For personal issues, the political awareness for women is relatively low which needs improvement. For internal perspective, not all available political parties gives space and opportunity for women political development, whereas externally, the improvement of women political participation is so limited that they do not participate in politics and do politics correctly. Islam provides equal opportunity for men and women in politics. This can be seen in many sex-neutral injunctions in the Holy Qurâ€™an which commands amar maâ€™ruf nahi munkar (promote the good and prevent the evil).Â  This command encompasses all aspects of life, including politics and state issues. Women are also responsible in this respect. Based on that, Islam provide ground for women to actively in politics.

Keywords: women political participation, Islamic Law

Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas tentang partisipasi politik perempuan perspektif hukum Islam. Partisipasi politik perempuan di Indonesia tergabung pada Kaukus Politik Perempuan Indonesia (KPPI). Terdapat berbagai hambatan dan tantangan dalam upaya peningkatan partisipasi politik perempuan, baik secara personal, internal maupun eksternal. Secara personal, kesadaran berpolitik bagi perempuan relatif masih rendah, sehingga perlu ditingkatkan. Dari sisi internal, belum semua partai memberikan ruang dan kesempatan bagi pengembangan politik perempuan, sedangkan secara eksternal, peningkatan partisipasi politik perempuan masih mengalami banyak keterbatasan, sehingga perempuan masih relatif rendah untuk masuk dalam politik dan berpolitik secara benar. Islam memberikan kesempatan kepada kaum perempuan yang berkecimpung dalam kegiatan politik, ini bisa terlihat pada banyak ayat dalam al-Qurâ€™an yang memerintahkan amar maâ€™ruf nahi munkar. Ini berlaku untuk segala macam kegiatan, tidak terkecuali dalam bidang politik dan kenegaraan. Perempuan juga turut bertanggungjawab dalam hal ini. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka perempuan dalam Islam juga memiliki hak untuk berpartisipasi dalam politik.

The assessment of social infrastructure development in the regions of Russian Federation from the standpoint of human capital reproduction
Authors: Aitova Julia
Published: September 2020

The creation of a developed social infrastructure is one of the most important components in the formation and accumulation of human capital in the country. At the same time, the regions of the Russian Federation play a special role in this aspect. The main management decisions on the development of social infrastructure facilities in the territories are developed and adopted at the regional level. Today, there is a high level of differentiation of subjects in a variety of socio-economic indicators, including the main areas of social infrastructure. These areas include education, health, culture and sports, transport, housing, trade, etc. In this study, the author attempts to develop a methodology for forming a rating of regions based on data on the current state and dynamics of the main indicators of these areas in the regions. The main difference between the developed methodology is that it considers not only the current situation of the region in terms of social infrastructure, but also its development over the time period 2010–2018. The rating of the Federal subjects by the level of social infrastructure development was formed and presented based on the results of testing the methodology based on regional statistics. According to the analytical assessment of the rating, all regions of the Russian Federation can be divided into 4 groups: regions with high level, above average level, below average level and low levels of social infrastructure development. As a result, the author confirms the high level of differentiation of regions in this aspect of socio-economic development of the territory. This situation is largely determined by the financial capabilities of the subjects, the main directions of regional policy, geographical location, the state of the economic and social spheres, and others.
Plano Real e âncora cambial
Authors: Silva Maria Luiza Falcão
Published: September 2020

RESUMO Recentemente, vários países latino-americanos com inflação alta e vários tipos de desequilíbrios passaram por programas de estabilização da desinflação. O Brasil implementou em julho de 1994 o Plano Real - um experimento de estabilização baseado em taxa de câmbio. Este artigo revisita essa experiência examinando as principais razões do colapso do regime cambial, em janeiro de 1999, sob pontos de vista teóricos alternativos. O que emerge do artigo é a conclusão de que a maioria dos “novos” argumentos apresentados para explicar a crise cambial brasileira são usados no passado por teóricos heterodoxos.

ABSTRACT Communitarianism offers a rationale for the growing relevance of communities. Its key question is also the one that globalisation makes highly relevant, namely: Who are we? What way of life do we wish to support? Communitarianism underlines the politics of mutual respect as the democratic state’s proper reaction to multiculturalism. Such a politics of mutual respect would be truly global. The paradox of globalisation is that it both makes communal politics more salient while it at the same time calls for a politics of mutual respect which may reduce ethnic and religious conflict. Globalisation increases the search for communal identity. However, a politics of mutual respect may reduce conflicts between communities and enhance global respect for different cultures, where different civilisations accept a common core of institutions.
Do Estado Keynesiano ao Estado Schumpeteriano

RESUMO Esta crítica visa introduzir as hipóteses de Jessop no estado pós-fordista. Com base na abordagem de regulação, o estado keynesiano e de bem-estar social é tomado como o tipo de estado ideal que sustentou o regime de acumulação fordista até os anos 1970. Para responder às crises do fordismo e do Estado keynesiano, novas políticas foram direcionadas para reformar o aparelho e as políticas do Estado. A principal hipótese de Jessop é que um estado de trabalho schumpeteriano “esvaziado” é a melhor forma de apoiar a transição pós-fordista. Apesar de apontar alguns problemas, o artigo chama atenção para os valores heurísticos das hipóteses de Jessop sobre o estado pós-fordista e suas potencialidades para orientar estudos de caso.
Protectionism in Retrospect: Mihail Manoilescu (1891-1950?)
Authors: BOBULESCU ROXANA
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT This paper examines Mihail Manoilescu’s Theory of Protectionism. Its main point was the defense of a permanent or general protection of high productivity sectors, contrasting with List’s temporary protection of infant industries. Manoilescu’s reasoning goes into a contradiction. He argued that the productivity of agriculture and the productivity of industry would equalize in the long-term. In that case, protection would no longer be necessary. So, his argument needs an additional assumption, that is variable costs of production. Manoilescu mentioned the presence of increasing returns in industry and decreasing returns in agriculture in an appendix. This assumption renders his theory very similar with Graham’s argument and contemporary main- stream analysis of trade and protection (P. Krugman, I. Magaziner and R. Reich).

ABSTRACT: There has been a significant advance in the poultry industry, and new technological and biological processes have accompanied the development of animals and inputs. Alongside the new possibilities for growth, there has been an emergence of new paradigms, including the rise of myopathies among which PSE, DFD, deep pectoral myopathy, oregon disease, acid breast, white stripping, wooden breast and spaghetti meat stand out. They cause considerable damage to the industry, as well as to ride hypotheses for studies in an attempt to better describe them. Researches seek to know about the behavior of proteins and specific protein groups in these anomalies. Groups of proteases are determinant to understand what may be occurring in muscle activity and; consequently, to understand the process in a more detailed way. Therefore, proteolytic systems may be acting on abnormal tissues. Proteases act differently in birds and mammals, but how altered they may be is still unknown. Besides, it is essential to relate the activities of these proteases, measures that indicate technological aspects that are relevant to meat quality standards. These quality standards must be directly associated with the consumption of raw meat in the material destined for processing, regardless of the final product. The important thing is to guarantee information that will lead the industry and consumers that will have, even with the anomaly developed, products that are nutritionally safe . This review discusses the biochemical and technological changes in poultry with pectoral anomalies, and how this affectsmeat quality.

ABSTRACT: Iatrogenic intoxications occur in domestic animals. Mortality was observed in a group of calves, reaching 20 deaths until the day of the technical visit, with or without sudden clinical signs, on a farm in the city of Pires do Rio, State of Goiás, Brazil. Deaths after the visit were not accounted systematically. Clinical signs included muscle weakness, ataxia, recumbency, bilateral jugular distention, and death. Suspected diagnosis of poisoning by ionophore antibiotics was made based on clinical and laboratory findings from nine animals, which included high plasma CK and LDH levels, as well as on anatomopathological findings of a recently dead calf, which showed myocardial and skeletal muscle degeneration and necrosis. Monensin overdose (25.5 µg/kg in skeletal muscle and 209.4 µg/kg in the liver) was detected by liquid-chromatography and mass-spectrophotometry analysis, contributing to the confirmation of ionophore poisoning diagnosis.
O FUNDEB E A DESIGUALDADE EDUCACIONAL NOS MUNICÍPIOS DO ESTADO DO PARANÁ

Published: September 2020

RESUMO A Constituição Federal elege como um dos objetivos da República a redução das desigualdades sociais e regionais e a educação é uma das variáveis de maior poder explicativo para a desigualdade brasileira. Todavia, se o financiamento da educação básica nos estados e municípios reproduz as desigualdades existentes, dificilmente tal conjuntura será alterada. Diante do fim da vigência do Fundeb, em 2020, é oportuno que o país discuta em que medida um novo fundo deva considerar critérios de redução da desigualdade social e educacional. Neste trabalho, analisamos se o Fundeb é um instrumento de redução da desigualdade, tanto em termos regionais quanto dentro de um único estado da Federação, considerando o estudo de caso do Paraná.
Cartografia de um serviço de atenção domiciliar e seus planos de visibilidade

Published: September 2020

Resumo Cuidar de pessoas doentes em seus domicílios remete a tempos imemoriais, mas devido ao envelhecimento da população, houve crescente organização de tal prática, com serviços de atenção domiciliar. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi conhecer o processo de cuidado no Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar de um município de médio porte no Estado de São Paulo como componente da Rede de Urgência e Emergência. É um estudo de caso, qualitativo, usando a cartografia no campo de pesquisa. Também se realizaram entrevistas com cuidadoras e uma enfermeira hospitalar, e um grupo focal com enfermeiras da Atenção Básica. Para análise dos dados, a primeira aproximação do material empírico foi a definição de “planos de corte” e em seguida dos “planos de visibilidade”. Identificaram-se problemas relacionados a gestão; limitações no uso do sistema de informação; isolamento do Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar em relação aos demais serviços da rede de saúde; limitações da Atenção Básica para apoiar efetivamente o serviço; sobrecarga do cuidador; e necessidade de estratégias de apoio.
The role of the World Health Organization country programs in the development of virology in Spain, 1951-1975
Authors: Porras María Isabel , Báguena María José
Published: September 2020

Abstract Within the framework of recent historiography about the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in modernizing public health and the multifaceted concept of global health, this study addresses the impact of the WHO’s “country programs” in Spain from the time it was admitted to this organization in 1951 to 1975. This research adopts a transnational historical perspective and emphasizes attention to the circulation of health knowledge, practices, and people, and focuses on the Spain-0001 and Spain-0025programs, their role in the development of virology in Spain, and the transformation of public health. Sources include historical archives (WHO, the Spanish National Health School), various WHO publications, the contemporary medical press, and a selection of the Spanish general press.
