Civic Action and Learning with a Community of Aboriginal Australian Young Children
Authors: Phillips Louise Gwenneth , Moroney Kerryn
Published: December 2017

CIVICS AND CITIZENSHIP ARE increasingly used in early childhood education policy, but what citizenship and civic learning can be for young children is under-researched and lacking definition. Drawing from the Australian findings of the major study Civic action and learning with young children: Comparing approaches in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, this article shares evidence of civic capacities that a community of young Aboriginal Australian children demonstrate in an early childhood education and care centre. Communitarian citizenship theory provides a framework for citizenship that is accessible for young children by focusing on families, communities and neighbourhoods. Cultural readings of illustrative examples on how young Aboriginal children express civic identity, collective responsibility, civic agency, civic deliberation and civic participation are discussed, highlighting how cultural values shape civic action. Links to state and national early childhood curricula are provided to guide others to further support civic learning in early childhood education.
Contribuições para a defesa da escola pública como garantia do direito à educação: aportes conceituais para a compreensão da educação como serviço, direito e bem público
Authors: Araújo Gilda , Cassini Simone
Published: December 2017

A educação vem sendo proclamada como direito público e, ao mesmo tempo, como serviço e bem público. Embora se interpenetrem no discurso acadêmico e político, essas concepções são distintas. Partindo dessa premissa, abordam-se essas distinções, analisando como o direito à educação é concebido no âmbito da prestação positiva do Estado. Apresenta-se a configuração do serviço público como modo de atuação do Estado, discute-se como o direito à educação é concebido nas legislações e, por fim, analisam-se as concepções que atribuem à educação a característica de bem público. Para tanto, utilizam-se aportes do direito administrativo. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de novos debates em torno das concepções jurídicas da educação, do modo de prestação pelo Estado e dos riscos da concepção de educação como bem público.

PENGARUH KECEPATAN SUDUT TERHADAP EFISIENSI POMPA SENTRIFUGAL JENIS TUNGGAL
Authors: Mustakim Mustakim
Published: December 2017

Unjuk kerja pompa sentrifugal banyak dipengaruhi oleh disain impeller,  rumah pompa, laju aliran dan  kecepatan sudut. Efisiensi merupakan hal yang sangat penting pada penggunaan pompa sentrifugal karna berkaitan dengan energi yang dipakai untuk menggerakan sistem, dari hal tersebut peneliti ingin mengetahui pengaruh kecepatan sudut terhadap pompa sentrifugal jenis tunggal. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah eksperimen. Pada penelitian ini digunakan pompa sentrifugal dengan motor 1 phase 220 volt dan head hisap 20,1 m. Untuk pengukuran tekanaan   suction  dan discharge   digunakan pressure gauge jenis bourdon, untuk varisai kecepatan sudut digunakan inverter, sedangkan untuk pengukuran debit aliran digunakan flow meter dan fluida yang dipakai adalah air. Variasi kecepatan sudut yang digunakan 999  rad/ s sampai 3000 rad/s. Jika kecepatan sudut pompa bertambah maka debit aliran  akan meningkat, ini sebabkan karna putaran poros pompa yang memutar impeller  berputar semangkin tingggi sehingga air yang dipindahkan semakin banyak. Penambahan kecepatan sudut berbanding lurus terhadap kenaikan debit aliran, Semakin bertambah kecepatan sudut pompa maka head pompa akan semakin meningkat, ini disebabkan karna bertambahnya debit fluida yang mengalir yang mengakibatkan tekanan pada sisi discharge pompa semakin meningkat. Pada kecepatan sudut 3000 rad/s pompa dapat menghasilkan head hingga  12,28249744 m, Semakin bertambah kecepatan sudut maka efisiensinya semakin meningkat, ini disebabkan karena daya hidrolik pompa semakin meningkat dimana peningkatan daya hidrolik disebabkan karna kapasitas debit aliran yang bertambah  dan  head pompa yang semakin meningkat.
Mary Hays’s Biography of María de Estrada, a Spanish Woman in the American Conquest
Authors: Lorenzo-Modia María Jesús
Published: December 2017

This article focuses on Mary Hays’s entry of María de Estrada in her Female Biography (1803), and how this English writer dealt with issues of gender, race, religion and nation by means of the mere inclusion of Estrada in this collection of women’s biographies. It studies the life of María de Estrada as inscribed in the fruitful transatlantic dialogue between the Iberian metropolis and the American continent at the beginning of the sixteenth century. In the analysis of her ordeal, issues of colonization are intermingled with those of ethnic persecution. De Estrada is believed to have been a Jew suffering difficulties in the Spanish city of Toledo; she had later an additional plight as a foundling girl living with the Gypsies in order to blur her origin, and thus escape ethnic cleansing. Subsequently, her role as an expatriate woman, who would leave her country of origin on board of a ship in the Hernán Cortés Expedition, is also analyzed.
Bautistas y presbiterianos en la política religiosa de Francisco J. Múgica y Sidronio Sánchez Pineda, 1920-1924
Authors: Mendoza García Leticia
Published: December 2017

En este artículo se analiza la manera en que las misiones protestantes bautistas y presbiterianas establecidas en Michoacán entre 1920 - 1924, desarrollaron estrategias para no ser afectadas por los artículos 3°, 27° y 130° constitucionales. Asimismo, se estudia las muestras de acercamiento de los presbiterianos con las autoridades políticas estatales y federales y su creciente anticlericalismo. Argumentamos que los protestantes tomaron una actitud convenientemente sumisa y acomodaticia hacia las autoridades en turno, además de que procuraron el apoyo del gobernador Múgica, del presidente Obregón y del secretario de Gobernación Calles, como una estrategia para acceder al reparto agrario y fortalecer su postura local anticlerical. La política de los gobernadores Mújica y Sánchez Pineda, lejos estuvo de tener la intención de fortalecer el protestantismo en detrimento del catolicismo, dejaron actuar a los protestantes porque su obediencia hizo que fueran considerados como un elemento no hostil al sistema político y como una conveniente ayuda para combatir el catolicismo. Si bien en la mayoría de las localidades hubo congregaciones protestantes, nos centraremos de manera particular en las iglesias de Morelia y Zitácuaro, por constituir los centros de trabajo de las misiones en el estado.
De la “mujer moderna” a la “mujer liberada”. Un análisis de la revista Claudia de México (1965-1977)
Authors: Felitti Karina
Published: December 2017

Este artículo analiza la revista femenina Claudia de México, desde su aparición en 1965 hasta 1977, cuando se pone en marcha el Programa Nacional de Planificación Familiar (1977). Claudia se presenta como la revista para la “mujer moderna”, interpelándola a partir de la moda, las recetas de cocina, las publicidades, y con informes que abordan cuestiones sexuales y reproductivas, como el placer sexual, la anticoncepción y el aborto. A comienzos de los setenta, las consignas de “liberación femenina” ganan lugar y aunque criticadas, van marcado una nueva época en la cual las políticas demográficas mexicanas apuntan a sostener el derecho de las mujeres a decidir en materia reproductiva y a erradicar el “machismo”. El artículo se organiza a partir de esta transición, y combina un análisis en profundidad del contenido de la revista (notas, fotografías, publicidades) con otras fuentes, como el cine de la época, escritos feministas de la segunda ola, entrevistas a mujeres jóvenes en aquellos años, y bibliografía secundaria que aborda este periodo.

Relationship Between Dietary Fatty Acids and Reproductive Functions in Dairy Cattle
Authors: Soydan Ercan , Şen Uğur , Şirin Emre
Published: December 2017

Selection of dairy cattle for higher milk yield, without considering important non-production traits, has decreased reproductive efficiency. Thus, low reproductive performance is a major problem in high yielding dairy cattle. Previous studies showed that dietary manipulation to improve fertility holds much promise and dietary fats have positive effects on reproductive functions in high yielding dairy cattle. Positive effects of fats on reproductive performance due to the fatty acids, which are the precursors of progesterone and prostaglandins. Progesterone and prostaglandins hormones are most important factors that play a role on the control of reproductive functions. The amount of linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic fattty acids in ration can be increase or decrease progesterone and prostaglandins synthesis especially PGF2α from ovary and uterus, respectively. Also fatty acids can be influence follicular development, ovulation, embryonic implantation and maternal recognition of pregnancy. This review focuses on the relationships between dietary fatty acids and reproductive functions such as hormone profiles, ovarian function and follicular development, oocyte quality, embryo development, embryonic implantation and maternal recognition of pregnancy in dairy cattle.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, altlık materyalinin kalitesi, çeşitleri ve bu materyalin etlik piliçlerin refah ve performansı üzerine etkilerini incelemektir. Etlik piliç yetiştiriciliğinde en uygun yetiştirme sistemi yerde yetiştiricilik olduğundan altlık materyali büyük önem kazanmaktadır. Etlik piliç üretiminde sağlanan gelişmeye bağlı olarak altlığa olan talep de artış göstermektedir. Altlık materyali olarak genelde saman, kaba odun yongası ve hızar talaşı yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bunlarla birlikte altlık materyali olarak buğday, arpa, çavdar, yulaf, ayçiçeği, çeltik, fındık, mısır, soya, fıstık, pamuk, şekerkamışı gibi malzemeler saf veya karıştırılarak kullanılmaktadır. Altlığın kalitesini altlığın nemi, pH'si, amonyum nitrat içeriği, kekleşme düzeyi ve su tutma kapasitesi belirlemektedir. İdeal altlığın nem oranı %20–25, pH değeri 8–10 arasında olmalı ve amonyak miktarı ise 25 ppm‘i geçmemelidir. Altlık kalınlığı, altlığın türüne göre 2-10 cm arasında değişmekte, parça büyüklüğü de 0.6 cm‘yi geçmemelidir. Altlık neminin artması pH düzeyini, NH3 konsantrasyonunu ve kekleşmeyi arttırır. Altlık materyalinin türü etlik piliçlerin performansı, refahı, sağlığı, davranışı ve ürün kalitesi üzerine etkili olmaktadır. Ayrıca bu materyallerin karkas kusurları, ayak-bacak problemleri, göğüste su toplanması, yaşama gücünde düşme, altlık nemi nedeniyle mikroorganizma gelişiminde artış, kümeslerde gaz ve toz oluşumunun artması gibi olumsuz etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu olumsuz etkiler entansif işletmelerde büyük ekonomik kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle etlik piliç yetiştiriciliğinde altlık materyalinin kalitesi ve çeşidi çok önemlidir.

Authors: Sinmez Çağrı Çağlar , Yaşar Aşkın
Published: December 2017

Organic animal production is a natural breeding system in which animal health is protected by giving priority to alternative medicines and treatment as needed by applying appropriate management and feeding methods based on the physiological requirements of animals. Increasing numbers of strains resistant to antibiotics and antiparasitic drugs used in animal breeding have brought about the search for alternative herbal remedies that lead to drug residues in animal products and lead to important health problems in people consuming these products. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic and protective effects of herbal drugs used in organic animal production in ethnoveterinary medicine in the Central Anatolia Region. The material of the study collected as written and declared facts as well as visual data were obtained from animal breeders in the Central Anatolia Region. The results indicated that 30 herbal drugs were used for the treatment of internal diseases, surgical diseases, obstetric and gynecological problems and parasitic diseases in cattle, sheep, horse, poultry, bee, and dog species. Based on the evaluation of the facts that the use of all kinds of synthetic drugs, especially antibiotics, is prohibited or restricted in organic livestock, it can be said that natural herbal drugs instead of artificial substances will provide positive contributions in the protection and treatment of herd health.

The root cause of the mismatch instructional method with the characteristics of material is insufficient time allocation that will affect teacher’s teaching and learning strategy
GENOCÍDIO: CRIME COLETIVO, RESPONSABILIDADE INDIVIDUAL
Authors: Miniuci Geraldo
Published: December 2017

Neste artigo são focalizados dois elementos que compõem o crime de genocídio: o sujeito coletivo e o sujeito individual. Esse sujeito coletivo realiza ações coletivas com o objetivo de destruir, total ou parcialmente, outro sujeito coletivo. A ação coletiva se executa pelas mãos de sujeitos individuais que, ao agirem, representam não somente a si mesmos, como também a coletividade que lhes incita. Para mostrar como se estrutura o crime de genocídio, analisam-se, neste texto, a definição de coletividade e de ação coletiva; a ligação entre a coletividade e a ação individual no crime de genocídio; a relação entre a intenção individual e a ação coletiva; e, por fim, dois tipos de responsabilidades encontrados nessa relação: a responsabilidade política e a responsabilidade jurídica pelo crime de genocídio.

The Development of Azerbaijan Bibliography in the late XIX - early XX century
Authors: Ismajylov Nadir I.
Published: December 2017

The article investigates an important stage in the development of Azerbaijan bibliography at the end of XIX - the beginning of XX century. It was a period of rapid development of book publishing, periodicals issuing, development of scientific and professional societies in Azerbaijan. All that processes were accompanied by the development of bibliographic activities. In the latter half of the XIX century there took place intensive accumulation of Oriental manuscripts and printed sources in the Russian cultural centers, particularly in St. Peterburg, Moscow and Kazan. A lot of valuable culture and art objects came to Russia from Azerbaijan. Despite the significant advance in the development of bibliographic resources of Azerbaijan, the work on their formation did not become a systematic activity. It was caused primarily by the lack of state policy in that area. There was also lack of the potential personnel, engaged in library and bibliografic activities at the professional level.
On international migration: A review essay
Authors: Masi Anthony C.
Published: December 2017

International migration continues to reshape our world, sometimes in predictable ways, but often with unanticipated consequences. The four books reviewed here provide new information and important insights regarding migration and migrant adjustment. They do so either by dealing with the policy dimension of this vast topic (Freeman and Mirilovic; Phillimore) or by delving deeply into the issue of immigrant integration (Scholten et al.; Waters and Gerstein Pineau). These editors took four different approaches to their task: (1) a compilation of already published works on the topic (Phillimore); (2) original pieces on topics or countries but following a predetermined framework (Scholten, et al.); (3) chapters designed to test theories against available empirical information (Freeman and Mirilovic); and (4) a comprehensive group-written “state of the art” for a single country (Waters and Gerstein Pineau). Together, the books provide an impressive array of scholarship from a variety of disciplinary perspectives on the links between migration and social policy and on immigrant integration.

Rescuing NCEA: Some Possible Ways Forward
Authors: Elley Warwick , Hall Cedric , Marsh Reg
Published: December 2017

This article examines the issue of “variability” that resulted in widespread media criticisms of the 2004 Scholarship examinations in New Zealand. The authors argue that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and the Ministry of Education have taken an ideological position on the use of standards-based assessment, ignoring the evidence both from the literature and from international experience that recognises the immense difficulties in implementing a “pure” form of standards-based assessment. The article questions the capacity of NZQA to administer the National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA), given the outcomes of the 2002-2004 period of implementation. It concludes by recommending 13 key changes or developments that are needed to redress the problems currently plaguing NCEA and Scholarship.
The NCEA in the Context of the Knowledge Society and National Policy Expectations
Authors: Hipkins Rosemary
Published: December 2017

The introduction of the National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA), as the key school-based components of New Zealand’s National Qualifications Framework (NQF) has been accompanied by controversy around a range of issues. It seems that much of the debate has centred on surface level symptoms, and has not probed the deep underlying causes of the tensions. In this article I locate the assessment changes of the NQF/NCEA within the “knowledge society” imperative for “life-long learning” and explore consequences of the expectation that assessment can serve this overarching goal at the same time as the results are used for accountability purposes – that, is for “raising standards”. The tensions created by these conflicting expectations must be confronted openly before they can be resolved.
Improving Tertiary Student Outcomes in An Evidence-based Accountability Policy Framework
Authors: Zepke Nick , Leach Linda
Published: December 2017

Tertiary student retention, progression and achievement have become major policy issues in New Zealand, and the English-speaking world generally. Both the human and financial costs of non-completion have led to policy settings dedicated to improving student outcomes. After briefly sketching policy developments in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, the article examines the New Zealand government’s emerging policy framework for improving student outcomes. It suggests that concern for student learning and success is justified, but questions some of the underlying assumptions behind the policies. These, the article argues, focus on system-wide accountability using crude statistical indicators that can lead to sanctions. The paper uses retention research from overseas and New Zealand to test both assumption and criticism. The article suggests that evidence does not support a generic and punitive approach to improve student outcomes. It suggests a reframing of both accountability and research evidence to produce an alternative approach to student outcomes policy.
Commercial School-Business Relationships in New Zealand
Authors: Stuart David
Published: December 2017

This article explores contemporary commercial school-business relationships in New Zealand schools, in a context of intensifying of child-business relationships, and in particular the blurring of once clear boundaries between children’s learning, their entertainment experiences, and the commercial efforts of corporate marketing and public relations. These child-business relationships in turn arise through contemporary consumer capitalism, and three problematic features of this economy are considered: inequality, commodification and globalisation. The last part of the article considers how schools are currently managing their commercial school-business relationships, with a particular emphasis on classroom teachers, and curriculum-related materials and programmes. It is suggested that schools are responding to children who are different because of their changing social status through consumption. However, in terms of school-business relationships, this response has yet to extend beyond using commercialised popular culture to motivate and engage, into a more critical examination of these relationships and of commercial culture generally.
The Digital Horizons: Laptops for Teachers’ Policy Initiative: Impacts and Consequences
Authors: Cowie Bronwen , Jones Alister , Harlow Ann
Published: December 2017

This article draws from the findings of the secondary school Digital Horizons: Laptops for Teachers research study, to discuss the impact of a policy tool intended to assist teachers use information and communication technologies (ICT) for administration, communication, collaboration, lesson planning and preparation, as well as for classroom lessons themselves.

The results from a national questionnaire, focus group and case study evaluation indicate that secondary teachers are making more use of the laptops for communication with colleagues, reporting to parents, and the development of classroom materials than for use in the classroom for teaching and learning. Teacher commentary indicates that school technological infrastructure and access to professional development both constrain and enable their use of their laptops.

Drawing on Engelbart’s notion of improvement infrastructure we discuss factors that have the potential to accelerate the integration of the laptop into teachers’ professional lives. Analysis suggests that these factors include school and departmental leadership as well as the nature of the professional development that teachers experience. Engelbart (1992) argued that it was the factors at this level that were most important if the benefits of policy initiatives were to be maximized for teachers, schools and governments.
Place-Based Education: Catering for Curriculum, Culture and Community
Authors: Penetito Wally
Published: December 2017

Place-based education (PBE) is not an overly familiar term in the New Zealand education context but it has a rapidly developing profile within the United States and parts of Canada, mainly as an outreach of the environmentalist movement. At the practical level "place-based education" sets out to answer two fundamental questions: "What is this place?" and "What is our relationship with it?"

It is hypothesized that the New Zealand education system (including its students, teachers, learning institutions and curriculum) is seriously remiss in not providing adequate structured opportunities for all New Zealanders to have a consistent and long-term ontological identification with what Geoff Park (1996, p. 323) refers to as "the two cosmologies – the two landscapes" that co-exist in New Zealand.

This article explores some of the theories and practices embedded in a place-based education for Aotearoa New Zealand and recommends a set of principles for advancing the practice. Areas of research are suggested as appropriate starting points for tertiary institutions.
A little knowledge being a dangerous thing?: Decile-based approaches to developing NCEA league tables
Authors: Thrupp Martin , Alcorn Noeline
Published: December 2017

In recent years it has become increasingly common for New Zealand newspapers and magazines to publish “league tables” comparing schools’ performances in National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). Since these results strongly reflect socio-economic differences between schools, some media outlets have taken up the practice of arranging school results by socio-economic deciles and/or providing decile “averages”. Although this approach is intended to indicate more clearly “value added” than approaches that do not group schools by decile, this article urges caution towards decile-based comparisons on the grounds that schools have numerous contextual differences that are not reflected in decile ratings. The problem is illustrated here by comparing findings from research in two schools with the same decile rating. We conclude that taking account of deciles does not make judgments about school NCEA performance more defensible, and suggest that the practice be discouraged.

Horregatik, mina tratatzeko estrategia eta itu berrien ikerketak beharrezkoak dira. Ikergai dagoen itu bat sistema kannabinoidea da. Barneko kannabinoideak giza gorputzak ekoizten dituen molekulak dira, zeinek kannabinoide-hartzaileei (CB) lotuz funtzio fisiologiko ugari erregulatzen dituzten, mina adibidez. Cannabis generoko landareetan aurki daitezkeen landare-kannabinoideek barneko sistema horren aktibazioaz baliatuz analgesia eragin dezakete. Zoritxarrez, horietako kannabinoide batzuk psikoaktiboak dira, minaren tratamendurako mugatzailea den ezaugarria. Horregatik, azken urteotan kannabinoide ez-psikoaktiboen gaineko ikerkuntzek bultzada handia jaso dute eta minaren tratamendurako kannabinoide psikoaktibo eta ezpsikoaktiboen arteko nahasketak zenbait saio klinikotan probatu dira. Azkenik, eraginkortasun/segurtasun erlazioa hobetzeko asmoz, kannabinoide eta opiazeoen elkarketak ikertu izan dira, eragin analgesiko sinergikoa lortzeko eta dosi txikiagoak erabilita segurtasuna handitzeko. Beraz, kannabinoideen inguruko ikerkuntzak bide berriak zabaltzen ditu minaren tratamendurako estrategia farmakologiko hobeak bilatzeko.
Klimari buruzko negoziazioak, Kyotoko Protokoloa ordezkatuko duen akordio baterako: Kopenhageko porrotetik Parisko Akordiora
Authors: Garcia Lupiola Asier
Published: December 2017

Kyotoko Protokoloa ordezkatuko duen akordio loteslea lortzeko negoziazioak 2007an hasi ziren. 2009ko Kopenhageko Konferentziaren porrotaren ondoren, negoziazioak bertan behera geratu ziren, eta ez zen ia aurrerapenik eman hurrengo bileretan. EBren lidergoa klima-aldaketaren aurkako borrokan, mundu-aliantzabatean ahalik eta herrialde gehien bateratzeko ahaleginetan, ahuldu egin zen, AEBk gero eta protagonismo handiagoa hartu zuelako â€”jarrera pasiboarekin eta oztopatzailearekinâ€”, bai eta Txinak ere. Nahiz eta EBk berriro sustatu zituen negoziazioak, badirudi Parisko Akordioa posible izan zela AEBren eta Txinaren inplikazio handiagatik; horrek aldi berean dakar askok zalantzan jartzea benetan emaitza arrakastatsua izango dela.

Artikulu honetan euskarazko hedabideen sistema aztertzen da hainbat aldagai kontuan izanda: hedabide mota, jabetza, zabalkundea, webguneak. Euskarazko hedabideen kartografiaren 2016ko errealitatea islatzen da, baita hedabide horiek izan duten garapena eta azken joerak ere. Hedabideen korrelazioa aztertu dugu bai hiztun kopuruekiko bai eta euskal abertzaletasunarekiko (boto kopuruetan neurtuta) ere, hedabideak baitira hizkuntzaren garapenerako baliabideetako bat. Gure perspektiba hizkuntza-komunitatea izan da.

Ikerlan honetan, Euskal Herrian bizi diren etorkinen hautemandako estresa eta ongizate-maila eta aldagai horien aurrekariak neurtzen dira, generoaren eta jatorriaren arabera egon daitezkeen desberdintasunak kontuan hartuz. 405 emakume etagizon etorkin elkarrizketatu ziren bai Latinoamerikakoak bai Magrebekoak, eta 306 emakume eta gizon euskaldun. Emaitza nabarmengarrienek adierazten dute estresa eta ongizate-maila ertainak direla, eta Magrebeko etorkinek Latinoamerikakoekin eta euskaldunekin konparatuta estres gehiago eta ongizate gutxiago adierazten dutela. Horrela, Magrebeko etorkinekin baieztatzen da akulturazioaren estresaren hipotesia eta Latinoamerikako etorkinen egoera esplikatzeko egokiagoa da atzerritar osasuntsuaren paradoxa. Azkenik, ikusten da estresaren eta ongizatearen aurrekariak desberdinak direla jatorri kulturalaren arabera.
Nanoteknologien eta RFID dispositiboen arteko konbergentzia teknologikoa: pribatutasunarentzako mehatxu berri baten atarian?
Authors: Ramirez de la Piscina Arrillaga Aratz

Nanomaterial manufakturatuak (NMM), nanoteknologien ustiapenetik eratortzen diren material berriak, besteak beste irrati-frekuentzia bidezko identifikazio-sistemadun (RFID) etiketen prestazio teknikoak potentziatzeko erabiltzen dira. Dispositibo elektroniko horiek nagusiki esparru komertzialean produktuen unean uneko trazabilitatea egiteko baliatzen badira ere, norbanakoen informazio pertsonala eskuratzeko ere erabili izan diren kasu batzuk dokumentatu dira dagoeneko. Alde horretatik, ikerketa honen xedea kasu horietan RFID etiketen erabilerak norbanakoen pribatutasuna errespetatu duen edo ez aztertzean datza, horretarako datu pertsonalen babeserako legedia oinarri hartuta.
Orgulho e preconceito no ensino de História no Brasil: reflexões sobre currículos, formação docente e livros didáticos
Authors: Da Silva Giovani José , Meireles Marinelma Costa
Published: December 2017

Em um momento histórico no qual se discute a elaboração de uma Base Nacional Comum Curricular para a Educação Básica brasileira, reflexões sobre formação de professores, currículos e livros didáticos de História são necessárias. Com poucas variações, o Ensino de História no Brasil ainda é pautado pelo eurocentrismo, pela ideia de que a história do país é uma derivação da expansão europeia e pela negação do protagonismo de populações indígenas, africanas e seus descendentes, além de outros povos. Os recentes embates verificados entre historiadores profissionais, professores de História e especialistas em Ensino do componente curricular escolar mostram que há diferentes concepções em disputa sobre o que os alunos no Brasil devam aprender sobre História. Oobjetivo do texto é problematizar tal situação, questionando e apresentando alternativas para combater o racismo no Ensino de História no Brasil e que jovens brasileiros que terminam sua formação na Educação Básica tenham orgulho de suas origens. Currículos que apresentam uma história linear, por etapas e com características evolucionistas, bem como cursos de formação de professores e materiais didáticos que cristalizam e consagramapenas uma versão europeia da História, tornam tarefa impossível a mudança do status quo.
Reflexões acerca da fundação de Florença na Laudatio Florentine urbis de Leonardo Bruni
Authors: Alves Aléssio Alonso
Published: December 2017

O objetivo desse artigo é analisar a forma como Leonardo Bruni (1369-1444) narrou a fundação de Florença na sua obra Laudatio Florentine urbis (escrita entre 1403 e 1404). Para tanto, primeiramente discorreremos sobre a importância da história na afirmação e exaltação das comunas italianas desde o século XI; em um segundo momento estabeleceremos uma reflexão teórica sobre o conceito de autoridade; e, por fim, analisaremos então o modo como Bruni narrou a fundação de Florença na Laudatio, além de estabelecer um paralelo entre a fundação de Gênova como descrita por Iacopo de Varazze (1228-1298) em sua Chronica civitatis Ianuensis (1292-1295) precisamente no que diz respeito à origem Romana antiga atribuída a essas cidades.
El efecto visual y la necesidad de la determinación de un método de blanqueamiento superficial de la nuez de macadamia

Published: December 2017

La nuez de macadamia es considerada “la reina de las nueces”, por su alto contenido energético y valor nutritivo. Cierto tipo de nueces se considera poco comercial debido a su color, por lo cual el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar un método de blanqueo superficial utilizando aditivos que no afecten el sabor, olor y textura de la nuez. Se emplearon tres aditivos alimentarios como agentes blanqueadores: ácido cítrico al 1% durante 2 minutos y al 3% durante 1 minuto, ácido ascórbico al 0.1% durante 1 minuto y al 0.3% durante 3 minutos, y bicarbonato de sodio al 5 y 10% durante 1 minuto. Para todos los tratamientos se realizaron análisis de color, humedad de la nuez, análisis sensorial de olor, sabor y textura. Las nueces se blanquearon superficialmente después de secarse. Los resultados indican que el mejor tratamiento para blanquear la nuez de macadamia es el ácido ascórbico al 0.3%; con ello se consigue aportar a la nuez un color más homogéneo y natural, libre de manchas negruzcas.

Published: December 2017

Se estudió la influencia de técnicas de clarificación en vino de mora de Castilla Rubus glaucus Benth sobre su cromaticidad, turbidez y rendimientos del proceso. Inicialmente con la microfiltración tangencial (MFT) a tres diferentes presiones de trabajo (1.5, 2.0 y 2.5 bar) y complementariamente con el pretratamiento de la alimentación con bentonita sódica. La MFT a 1.5 bar obtuvo el mayor Factor de Retención Volumétrica (FRV) y el mejor rendimiento, estandarizando las condiciones de presión para la MFT con pretratamiento. En función del pH, en 9 gramos se estableció la cantidad óptima de floculante añadido a cada lote de vino, llevado a reposo a 6°C (6, 12 y 24 horas), obteniéndose 610 ± 38 g para la mayor proporción de turbios en el lote de 6 horas de reposo, producto de una mayor captación inestable por parte del clarificante. La MFT de los pretratamientos indica mejoras representativas de hasta 40% en el rendimiento. Todas las muestras analizadas de vino microfiltrado con y sin pretratamiento, lograron una turbidez menor a 2 NTU, lo cual cumple con el criterio de calidad de “tinto brillante”, y se concluye que la MFT por separado y con pretratamiento, mejoran la calidad del producto, pero pueden provocar deterioros en el color.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los cambios físicos, químicos, microbiológicos, fibrosos y del ácido láctico del ensilaje de yuca con caupí y cultivo microbiano. Se utilizaron 50 kg de yuca integral (raíz, tallo, hojas), 20 kg de harina de caupí y 4 L de cultivo microbiano que contenía Lactobacillus acidophillus, Streptococcus thermophillus y Klyumyces fragilis (L-4 UCLV). Las variantes evaluadas fueron: yuca integral (Y100), yuca integral más 20% caupí (Y+C), yuca integral más 20% caupí y 8% biopreparado (Y+C+BP). El material ensilado se conservó en frascos de cristal estériles con boca ancha. Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorio. Se evaluaron las características fisicoquímicas, fibrosas, microbiológicas y de ácido láctico. Durante 18 meses, los contenidos de materia seca, proteína cruda y verdadera, ácido láctico y la viabilidad microbiana fue mayor (P<0.05) en el tratamiento Y+C+BP a partir de los dos meses hasta el final. La fibrosidad y el pH del ensilaje fue menor (P<0.05) al final del estudio en el tratamiento Y+C+BP. Se concluye que con la inclusión del cultivo microbiano en el ensilaje de yuca con caupí se logra conservar las propiedades fisicoquímicas y microbiológicas por 18 meses; asimismo, los valores de la materia seca, proteína cruda y verdadera y ácido láctico se mejoran.
