Published: August 2019

THE 4th PUCHON INTERNATIONAL FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL 2000 Only in its fourth year of operation, the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) has become an important and unique festival in Korea. Despite being a year younger than its well-regarded counterpart, the Pusan International Film Festival, PiFan has already earned a reputation as a role model for festivals concentrating on the theme of fantasy. Just this year, it launched the Made In Korea section, ahead of Pusan, introducing films by an emerging wave of local talent such as the highly elegiac Kim Ki-duk. Two of Kim's new films, The Isle (Seom, 2000) and Real Fiction (Siljaesanghwang, 2000) were shown at the festival, helping to solidify its position as a venue for showing world standard works of art and entertainment. The festival has also launched the Asian premieres of independent American and European films which has gone on to create waves...
Troia 2000
Authors: Holloway Ron
Published: August 2019

THE 16th TROIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2000 In his "Image Nation" essay, published in the "Brazilian Cinema Now" booklet handed out at Cannes, critic Jose Carlos Avellar has this to say about last year's Golden Bear winner at the Berlinale: "The story in Central do Brasil may also be seen -- even though not so intended -- as a metaphor for the process of reinventing Brazilian cinema in the 1990s. The film passes across landscapes and through characters that made their mark on the films of the 1960s -- the Northeast, the hinterlands, the migrants, the pilgrims, the average worker from the outskirts of the big city -- following the path of a woman who, gradually, by turning into writing what is said to her, undergoes a process of resensitization. This expression used by Walter Salles is a perfect definition of Dora's experience and, by extension, that of Brazilian...
Cannes 2002 Report
Authors: Holloway Ron
Published: August 2019

FESTIVAL DE CANNES 2002 - FILMS IN COMPETITION VIEWED from the critical side, the 55th Cannes International Film Festival will unfortunately be remembered by critics and professionals for its faulty jury decisions. Roman Polański's The Pianist (Poland / France / Germany), based on the memoirs of Polish concert pianist Wladislaw Szpilman, was awarded the Golden Palm, although the 150-minute Holocaust drama seemed at best contrived, laboured, and uninspired. Aki Kaurismäki's Mies vailla menneisyyttä (The Man without a Past, Finland / France / Germany), voted the Grand Prix as well as Best Actress Award to Kati Outinen, came across at least as a worthy homage to the American film noir of the postwar years. Jack Nicholson's multilayered performance as a retired "little man" from Midwest America in Alexander Payne's About Schmidt (USA) far outdistanced Olivier Gourmet's straightforward interpretation of a working-man's confrontation with a lad who had unintentionally murdered his...
Locarno 2002

Published: August 2019

LOCARNO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2002 Locarno(1-11 August, 2002) celebrated its 55th anniversary with a selection of films that favoured Europe. The festival, which is somewhat squeezed between Cannes and Venice, seemed to have chosen this year a general policy of showcasing interesting and enjoyable films to its summertime public, rather than engaging in a futile chase of undiscovered talent. Twenty-two films competed for the Golden and Silver Leopards. Two very stimulating films of this section, which incidentally escaped the jury, were the latest work of Gus Van Sant (Drugstore Cowboy, Good Will Hunting, Finding Forester), a visual, contemplative voyage interior called Gerry and Rebecca Miller's Personal Velocity, a 'woman's film' to say the least. The story of Gerry, if there is one, involves two young men, both of whom are named Gerry, who go for a walk and get lost. First it seems like a bad joke, but then...

La formación docente en los países latinoamericanos se encuentra inmersa en una serie de complejidades y contrariedades. Los educadores, como formadores de una sociedad, reproducen sin pausa e inconscientemente, en su mayoría, los saberes modernos deudores de la cultura occidental. Sin embargo, los contextos de la acción docente exhiben una gran riqueza acumulada en las sabidurías de los pueblos, que son ignoradas en los programas escolares formales. Se propone en esta ponencia, la necesidad urgente de otorgar mayor pertinencia cultural y social a los saberes que se enseñan desde la escuela. Para ello, son claves dos aspectos: otorgar un estatus académico a los saberes locales (potenciados por las epistemes emergentes ante la crisis de la modernidad) y establecer un diálogo intercultural entre el saber local y el universal, para aprovechar sus fortalezas, asumiendo una postura de sinergismo de los saberes humanos.

Las migraciones se presentan como una constante histórica, que han permeado en gran medida lo que somos hoy. En Costa Rica, se reciben miles de migrantes al año, especialmente del país vecino Nicaragua. Su presencia ha logrado transformarnos social y económicamente, pero sobre todo ha tenido una gran influencia en el ámbito escolar. Todo docente debe, por lo tanto, estar preparado para atender a una población diversa, esforzarse por brindarle una educación de calidad que tome en consideración las características de todos los actores involucrados en el proceso. Para lograr lo anterior, deberá considerar aspectos sociales, económicos y emocionales, entre otros, y buscar incluir, constantemente, en el currículo elementos que ayuden a insertar a los estudiantes migrantes, para darle significatividad al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. El respeto por lo diverso debe rescatarse y hay que hacer un esfuerzo por lograr un acercamiento mas profundo al otro y a sus diferencias, y transformar el aula en un espacio donde haya lugar para cada estudiante.

It was es-tablished that the main and most essential function of political and governing elite, which actually led to the selection of this category, is political control. It is shown that political and governing elite level for personalized serves as the political system, namely strate-gic, integrative and regulatory. The main functions of political and governing elite also includes: mobilization, communication, function representation in the political system of society social interests.Determined that in terms of military aggression from Russia, the loss of economics and the state, when Ukraine needs a final exercise their geopolitical choice by the practi-cal implementation of the course towards european integration through reforms in all spheres of public life, political and governing elite should focus on specific primary func-tions. Analysis of public inquiries allowed to formulate these functions, referring to re-cent peacekeeping, communicative, integrative and regulatory.

Plants and gall hosts of the Tirimbina Biological Reserve, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica: Combining field sampling with herbarium records
Authors: Ley-López Juan-Manuel , González José , Hanson Paul-E.
Published: August 2019

There has been an increasing number of inventories of gall-inducing arthropods in the Neotropics. Nonetheless, very few inventories have been carried out in areas where the flora is well documented, and records of galls from herbaria and sites outside the study area have seldom been utilized. In this study we provide a checklist of the native vascular plants of a 345 ha forest reserve in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica and document which of these plants were found to harbor galls. The gall surveys were carried out between November 2013 and December 2016. We also cross-checked our plant list with the previous gall records from elsewhere in the country and searched for galls on herbarium specimens of dicots reported from the reserve. In total, we recorded 143 families and 1174 plant species, of which 401 were hosts of galls. Plant hosts of galls were found in the following non-mutually exclusive categories: 209 in our field sampling, 257 from previous records, and 158 in herbarium specimens. Of our field records of galls, 77 were new for the country, 77 were also found in the herbarium and 110 had been previously recorded in the country. Herbarium specimens and previous records are good indicators of potential gall hosts but around one quarter (40/158) of the gall records in the herbarium were ambiguous as to whether the tissue alteration was a gall or not. Plant family size was related to number of gall hosts, but most dicot families have similar proportions of gall host species. We concluded that more than a third of the native plants in the reserve are gall hosts, but this number increased to 44.93 % when only dicots were considered. Our results demonstrate the utility of providing complete plant inventories when conducting gall inventories, and of using herbarium specimens and previous galls studies to infer gall diversity in a specific area.
Shifts in the diversity of an amphibian community from a premontane forest of San Ramón, Costa Rica

Published: August 2019

Biological communities are experiencing rapid shifts of composition in Neotropical ecosystems due to several factors causing population declines. However, emerging evidence has provided insights on the adaptive potential of multiple species to respond to illnesses and environmental pressures. In Costa Rica, the decline of amphibian populations is a remarkable example of these changes. Here we provide evidence of variation in the amphibian richness of a premontane forest of San Ramón (Costa Rica) across a ~30 year period. We also quantified changes in the composition and abundance of the leaf-litter frog community occurring in the same premontane forest, by comparing diversity data with a difference of ~18 years. We evaluated the similarity of species richness from 1980s to 2010s based on several sources, and the dissimilarity of species diversity in the site comparing 28 standardized surveys from 1994-1995 and 2011-2012. We compared the relative abundance of some frogs that inhabit the leaf-litter layer between these same periods. Our results show that there is more similarity in amphibian richness between 1980s and 2010s (~ 52 %) than between 1980s and 1990s (~ 40 %). The richness of leaf-litter anurans was ~ 65 % similar between 1990s and 2010s. The diversity of leaf-litter anuran was clearly different between 1994-1995 and 2011-2012, and it was clustered among those periods. We determined that the amphibian community in this premontane forest drastically changed: many species have disappeared, or gradually declined through the decades (e.g. Pristimantis ridens, P. cruentus, Craugastor bransfordii) as in other well studied localities of Costa Rica, while some few species flourished after being almost absent from the site in the 1990s (e.g. Craugastor crassidigitus, Lithobates warszewistchii). Currently dominant species such as C. crassidigitus would be using developed resistance against Bd-fungus as an advantage (apparent competition) in the premontane forest where the disease is more virulent than in lowlands. Our analysis supports the hypothesis of individualized responses of anuran populations under distinct site and elevations. We suggest to continue monitoring the amphibian communities of premontane tropical forests to understand how this ecosystem gradually resist and adapts to this catastrophic time of biodiversity loss.
Asociación entre la morfología alar y el uso del hábitat en seis especies de palomas (Columbidae) neotropicales

Published: August 2019

Los factores biomecánicos, el comportamiento e historia natural de las especies pueden influenciar la forma y dimensión del ala en las aves. Por lo tanto, la morfología de las alas de cada especie podría estar adaptada al ambiente en el que habitan. En palomas (familia Columbidae) existe un gradiente de especies que tienden a volar mucho y otras que vuelan muy poco. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar si la forma de las alas de seis especies de palomas se asocia con su capacidad de vuelo. Predecimos que las especies Patagioenas flavirostris y P. nigrirostris que tienden a volar largas distancias presentan alas relativamente largas y puntiagudas; mientras que Geotrygon montana que se desplaza principalmente caminando presenta alas relativamente anchas y redondeadas. Especies con capacidad de vuelo intermedio (Leptotila verreauxi, L. cassini y Zenaida asiatica) van a presentar alas con características intermedias. Estimamos la carga alar, proporción de la forma, conicidad alar, largo relativo y el área alar promedio para cada especie. Realizamos un análisis discriminante para determinar cuál combinación de variables explica mejor la diferencia morfológica de las alas entre las seis especies y probamos que tan robusto es este modelo mediante una prueba binomial. El modelo clasificó correctamente el 57 % de los individuos en su propia especie. Por lo tanto, encontramos que el tipo de desplazamiento predominante en cada una de las seis especies de Columbidae analizadas, se asocia con la morfología alar: alas adaptadas para vuelos en zonas abiertas en P. flavirostris y P. nigrirostris, alas adaptadas para vuelos muy maniobrables en hábitats densos en G. montana, y alas con características intermedias en L. verreauxi, L. cassini y Z. asiatica.
Ecology, endemism, and conservation status of birds that collide with glass windows in Monteverde, Costa Rica

Published: August 2019

Worldwide, billions of birds die annually due to window collisions. Nevertheless, few accounts document bird-window collisions in the Neotropics. In this study, we document species that collided with windows in Monteverde, Costa Rica, and describe their ecological and conservation status. We gathered information from different sources, including data from museum records and accounts by Monteverde residents who participated as “citizen scientists” between May 2014 and December 2017. We conducted carcass searches between March 2015 and February 2016. We classified window-strike species by migratory, forest dependence, trophic guild, weight, abundance, conservation, and endemism status. We registered 103 species striking windows in Monteverde, which includes 98 of 267 species known to occur in three life zones in Monteverde and five not registered in the area. Window strike casualties’ frequencies differed by species, trophic guild and migratory status. Most window victims were residents, small, insectivorous, considered common or fairly common, with declining population trends. The families with the most species represented were Parulidae (14 spp.), Trochilidae (13 spp.), Turdidae (10 spp.), and Tyrannidae (9 spp.). Most species were passerines (Order Passeriformes) (71 spp.). No hawks or vultures were found colliding with buildings. The three species most commonly killed by windows were frugivores: Swainson’s Thrush (Catharus ustulatus), Northern Emerald-Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus), and Black-faced Solitaire (Myadestes melanops). Among window-kills were five species whose status on the IUCN Red List are Near Threatened and one Vulnerable, including the Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) and the Three-wattled Bellbird (Procnias tricarunculatus). Six species are listed as in danger of extinction and four are listed as species with reduced populations by the National System of Conservation Areas for Costa Rica (SINAC). 12 endemic species are strike casualties. The premontane wet forest is the life zone where more species were found (n=64 spp.), followed by the premontane moist forest (n = 49 spp.) and the lower montane wet forest (n = 31 spp.). These findings demonstrate the urgent need for conservation measures to mitigate bird mortality due to window collisions. Promoting use of methods to protect birds from windows should be an important goal for this IBA and the rest of Costa Rica. We also recommend collecting data in order to increase understanding about bird window collisions.
O ATEÍSMO NO PENSAMENTO POLÍTICO DE JOHN LOCKE
Authors: Santos Antônio Carlos dos
Published: August 2019

RESUMO A “Carta sobre a tolerância” de Locke tem uma questão que suscita polêmicas desde o século XVII: sua defesa da tolerância compromete na restrição aos ateus e católicos, o que atingiria a liberdade religiosa, um dos maiores valores da teoria liberal. Tomando como problemática central esta questão, o objetivo deste artigo é pensar esta tensão no pensamento político de Locke. Visando a colaborar com este debate, o texto está dividido em duas partes: na primeira, serão apresentados os vários sentidos do que Locke entende por ateu, em seus diferentes textos políticos; na segunda, será analisada a importância da religião no pensamento político lockiano.
MEISTER ECKHART LEITOR DO "LIBER DE CAUSIS"
Authors: Raschietti Matteo
Published: August 2019

RESUMO A tradução árabe de alguns trechos do tratado de metafísica "Elementatio Theologiae" de Proclo, conhecida com o nome de "Liber de Causis" e atribuída erroneamente a Aristóteles, influenciou três grandes pensadores dominicanos da Idade Média: Alberto Magno, Tomás de Aquino e Meister Eckhart. Composto de 31 proposições, defende a tese da existência de uma causa primeira que dá o ser a tudo o que existe, sem nenhuma exceção. Os estudiosos são unânimes em reconhecer que este livro pseudoepigráfico possui um peso relevante nos momentos centrais da obra eckhartiana, tanto latina quanto alemã. Em particular, o turíngio lança mão da auctoritas do "Liber de Causis" para sustentar a imanência-transcendência simultânea da causa primeira com relação às criaturas, a doutrina da hierarquia dos entes, a concepção do ser como ratio prima da criaturalidade, a inefabilidade de Deus. Além desses aspectos ontológicos, este trabalho apresenta também o aspecto especificamente antropológico do esvaziamento de toda criatura como conditio sine qua non para a união com o único Uno (einic ein), um traço inconfundível da presença do "Liber de Causis" na obra de Meister Eckhart.
A confluência entre o “adequado” e o “saudável”: análise da instituição da noção de alimentação adequada e saudável nas políticas públicas do Brasil

Published: August 2019

No âmbito das políticas públicas brasileiras para alimentação e nutrição e para segurança alimentar e nutricional, a partir da virada do século XXI, observa-se que a alimentação deixou de ser adjetivada somente como “saudável” e passou também a ser referida como “adequada”. Essas noções vêm sendo construídas e defendidas socio-historicamente e passando por ampliações e ressignificações ao longo do tempo. Propôs-se neste estudo analisar como se instituiu a expressão “alimentação adequada e saudável” no Brasil. Foi realizada uma análise documental tendo em vista elucidar o desenvolvimento conceitual dos termos em questão no contexto brasileiro. Foram analisados documentos institucionais, a exemplo dos textos originais dos campos da segurança alimentar e nutricional e da alimentação e nutrição. Observa-se uma transição no modo de pensar a alimentação saudável no campo da alimentação e nutrição, antes centrada no estatuto do nutriente. Atualmente, tratamos de uma compreensão ampliada sobre a noção de alimentação, que a partir do debate sobre a superação do foco no componente nutricional dos alimentos, inclui a compreensão sobre um direito humano fundamental, bem como a compreensão sobre as questões socioculturais e afetivas do comer e sobre as questões da sustentabilidade ambiental da produção de alimentos com base em modelos produtivos pautados em princípios agroecológicos e da soberania alimentar. Argumenta-se que a combinação entre as expressões é representativa do esforço em aproximar as compreensões e os debates dos campos da segurança alimentar e nutricional e da alimentação e nutrição no que se refere à polissêmica noção de alimentação.

Authors: FANTINATO Vera , CAMARGO Heloísa Ramalho , SOUSA Ana Lúcia Orlandinni Pilleggi de
Published: August 2019

Abstract Introduction Streptococcus salivarius is a dominant oral species and the best suitable candidate for probiotic of the oral cavity. Since Streptococcus salivarius is able to produce bacteriocins against Streptococcus pyogenes interest has been focused on the use of it as a probiotic to avoid sore throats by Streptococcus pyogenes. Objective This study is for selecting Streptococcus salivarius strains for potential use as probiotics for the oral mucosa, that is, production of bacteriocin against Streptococcus pyogenes and the ability to bind to KB cells. Material and method Tongue material from 45 students was collected and seeded on Mitis Salivarius Agar plaques. The strains were tested by the production of bacteriocin-like substances (BLIS) against S. pyogenes, biochemically and PCR for identification of S. salivarius. The best strains were tested for adherence to KB cells. Briefly, S. salivarius strains were cultured in broth, washed and suspended at 108cells/ml. KB cells were inoculated into plaques, washed and incubated with the bacteria, for adhesion. These were washed for lysis of the KB cells and release bacteria for determination of CFU. Result The bacteriocin test showed that 133 strains presented inhibition of S. pyogenes. The samples tested for adhesion to KB cells, presented different profiles and only three strains presenting high adhesion capacity. Conclusion The selection of strains of Streptococcus salivarius with high inhibitory activity against Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as adherence to KB cells leads us to the next future step, that is, to use the best strains for in vivo colonization tests

Published: August 2019

Resumo O propósito deste artigo é apresentar um panorama da literatura sobre a financeirização entre 1992 e 2017 a partir de uma abordagem bibliométrica, com a utilização do software VOSviewer. Especificamente, busca-se delinear o estado da arte da literatura, identificando os trabalhos, veículos de publicação e autores-chave, bem como os subcampos nos quais as contribuições têm se distribuído. Propõe-se a identificação de cinco grandes abordagens. Uma primeira vertente remete à análise da financeirização a partir da crítica à maximização do valor ao acionista. Um segundo grupo representa um conjunto amplo de trabalhos de teor marxista e pós-keynesiano, cujo foco reside na avaliação da financeirização como um novo padrão de acumulação. Um terceiro agrupamento se organiza em torno do espraiamento das normas, práticas, regras de conduta e vocabulário típicos dos mercados financeiros na sociedade e seu impacto na vida cotidiana. Um quarto conjunto concentra-se na avaliação da forma pela qual as finanças contemporâneas condicionam a organização do espaço, particularmente das áreas urbanas. Por fim, um quinto grupo dedica-se ao exame do impacto da financeirização na atividade rural, particularmente nas economias subdesenvolvidas dependentes das exportações de commodities.
A indústria brasileira no período 2007-2014: perdas e ganhos num ambiente de baixo crescimento*

Published: August 2019

Resumo Este artigo exibe um panorama geral das transformações ocorridas na Indústria brasileira no período 2007-2014 e faz a análise de tais mudanças. A base de dados utilizada é a Pesquisa Industrial Anual - Empresa, do IBGE. No período investigado, verificou-se um avanço importante da Indústria extrativa na estrutura industrial brasileira, seja de acordo com as variáveis Valor da produção e Valor da transformação industrial, seja pelo Investimento. Destacou-se o crescimento da atividade de Extração de petróleo e gás natural, em função da exploração das novas reservas brasileiras em águas profundas. Algumas atividades da Indústria de transformação ligadas aos bens que atendem às necessidades da base da pirâmide social aproveitaram bem os estímulos da política econômica da época e também avançaram. O balanço entre a produtividade do trabalho em baixa e as despesas com pessoal em alta gerou uma queda quase generalizada na rentabilidade, o que ajuda a explicar o pequeno crescimento dos investimentos.
Os cisnes cantam e a onda verde passa Os congressos agrícolas de 1878 e a demanda da lavoura por capitais

Published: August 2019

Resumo Analisamos os Anais dos Congressos Agrícolas realizados em 1878: em julho no Rio de Janeiro e em outubro no Recife. Comparamos os distintos processos de convocação desses eventos. Depois, voltamos nossa atenção às discussões sobre a carência ou não de capitais disponíveis à grande lavoura, bem como acerca das sugestões no sentido de estimular a oferta de crédito aos lavradores. Por fim, retomamos a perspectiva comparativa, evidenciando semelhanças e diferenças de posicionamento entre os fazendeiros “do Sul” e “do Norte”, a exemplo da participação do Estado no atendimento às necessidades da lavoura. Entendida pela maioria como imprescindível, tal participação traduzia-se, quando mediada pelo ressentimento “do Norte”, no devido pagamento de uma dívida histórica; na visão “do Sul”, por seu turno, construída a partir do protagonismo cafeeiro, a lavoura seria “o doente à consulta do médico”, e o Governo “o médico que deve diagnosticar a moléstia e receitar o remédio”.

Published: August 2019

Abstract Oral conditions impact on the individual’s health and quality of life. The use of a valid and reliable instrument provides accuracy in the measurement of this impact. This study aimed to assess the evidences of validity and reliability of the Oral Health Impact Profile instrument (OHIP-14) in adolescents. A total of 763 adolescents participated in the study. The OHIP-14, the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) and intraoral examinations were used. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the OHIP-14 showed acceptable adjustment indexes: CFI = 0.957; GFI = 0.959 and RMSEA=0.063. Normative oral health conditions show significant association with OHIP-14 scores. Significant correlation was observed between the total OHIP-14 score and the scores of self-perception of oral health (p < 0.001) and the physical and mental dimensions of the SF-12 (p < 0.001). The Cronbach alpha coefficient was adequate (α = 0.87). OHIP-14 was showed satisfactory validity and reliability, subsiding its use in studies that assess the self-perception of oral health for this population.

Published: August 2019

Abstract This paper aims to display a promising experience of designing a new community project based on the Mozabit old traditions to found their Ksour (plural of Ksar). The faith and “self-reliance” as ancient customs of the Mozabit society have led the Oases to survive in a hostile Saharan environment. Tafilalt project aims to respect the traditional architecture and values while creating architecture worthy of the sustainable development. The community in Bani Isguen city initiated the project in 1997, planning to create a new neighborhood for Bani Isguen ksar in order to alleviate the housing shortage in the Mzab Valley. The self-help, solidarity and collective work of this community allow low-income households to have access to affordable housing. The methodical approach fulfills a thorough analysis of the different steps concerning the process from the definition to the construction of such a collective project. This quite successful designed project tends to enhance the local urban environment and empower the community ties. A set of guidelines and recommendations are made in order to improve the design process and urban strategies of any alike coming projects.
CONDITIONAL PRICING MODEL WITH HETEROSCEDASTICITY: EVALUATION OF BRAZILIAN FUNDS
Authors: COSTA LEANDRO SANTOS DA , BLANK FRANCES FISCHBERG , OLIVEIRA FERNANDO LUIZ CYRINO , VILLALOBOS CRISTIAN ENRIQUE MUÑOZ
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT Empirical studies have revealed that the conditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has a higher explanatory power than its unconditional version, particularly for the model in state-space form where the beta is estimated using Kalman filter. Most empirical analyses are based on stock portfolios to explain financial anomalies, but only a few studies proposed improving investment fund performance. The main contribution of this study is the assessment of Brazilian investment funds through traditional measures estimated from the CAPM model in state-space form with heteroscedastic and homoscedastic errors compared to alternative models, such as the unconditional CAPM and a four-factor model. Using a sample of stock funds from May 2005-April 2015, the results indicate that the conditional CAPM model produces better results than the alternative models, providing better performance evaluation practices for funds in both stock-picking and market-timing ability.

RESUMO O objetivo desta pesquisa é realizar duas análises relacionadas à compreensão dos efeitos de uma evidenciação voluntária. Primeiro, analisar se o desempenho da empresa apresenta relação com o tom verbal da divulgação voluntária de uma audioconferência. Segundo, analisar se o tom verbal de divulgações voluntárias está relacionado com os resultados de empresas brasileiras no tempo futuro. Para aferição do tom verbal, foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo computadorizada sobre os arquivos transcritos referentes às audioconferências de empresas brasileiras com American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) no mercado americano entre os anos de 2002 e 2016. Para o cálculo do tom do gestor, foi utilizado o dicionário de Loughran e McDonald (2011), em inglês e uma versão adaptada para português. As evidências encontradas sugerem uma relação positiva entre o tom verbal utilizado pelos gestores durante as ligações de audioconferênciase o desempenho atual e futuro da empresa.

Abstract The nematicidal effect of different organic materials was evaluated in order to develop a non-chemical alternative soil treatment for control of the free-living stages of small ruminant gastrointestinal nematodes. The selected organic materials were residues from the juice industry of acerola, cashew, grape, guava, papaya and pineapple, as well as castor residue from the biodiesel industry. LC90 results showed that pineapple residue was the most efficient inhibitor of larval development, followed by castor, grape, cashew, acerola, guava and papaya. Castor residue was also a good source of nitrogen and was used in a greenhouse experiment to prevent larval development in contaminated goat faeces that was deposited in pots containing the grasses Brachiaria brizantha (var. Paiaguás) or Megathyrsus maximus x M. infestum (var. Massai). Castor residue caused a significant (P < 0.05) reduction (85.04%) in Paiaguás grass contamination (L3.dry mass-1) and a reduction of 17.35% in Massai grass contamination (P > 0.05), with an increase in the biomass production of Massai (251.43%, P < 0.05) and Paiaguás (109.19%, P > 0.05) grasses. This strategy, called Econemat®, with good results in vitro shows to be promising on pasture increasing phytomass production.

Abstract Renicolids are parasites that inhabit the renal tubules and ureters of molluscivorous and piscivorous birds. Puffinus puffinus is a migratory seabird that was identified as the definitive host of Renicola spp. Studies focusing on the renicolid species and the resulting renal lesions are valuable for their association with causes of stranding in seabirds. The aim of this study was to identify the renicolid trematodes and evaluate the histological findings in two P. puffinus stranded on the coast of Paraná state, Brazil. The parasites were evaluated by histologic, ultrastructural and molecular assays, while tissue changes were analyzed by histologic methods. The morphological and morphometrical characteristics of the parasites, along with polymerase chain reaction and sequencing assays (ribosomal and mitochondrial regions), identified the species as Renicola sloanei. The results also suggest that this helminth can be the adult form of Cercaria pythionike. The dilation of collecting ducts was the main histological finding in the kidneys. In conclusion, R. sloanei was identified, and for the first time, P. puffinus was described as a host of this digenean inducing mild renal changes.
Find Me if You Can: Deep Software Clone Detection by Exploiting the Contest between the Plagiarist and the Detector
Authors: Zhang Yan-Ya , Li Ming
Published: August 2019

Code clone is common in software development, which usually leads to software defects or copyright infringement. Researchers have paid significant attention to code clone detection, and many methods have been proposed. However, the patterns for generating the code clones do not always remain the same. In order to fool the clone detection systems, the plagiarists, known as the clone creator, usually conduct a series of tricky modifications on the code fragments to make the clone difficult to detect. The existing clone detection approaches, which neglects the dynamics of the “contest” between the plagiarist and the detectors, is doomed to be not robust to adversarial revision of the code. In this paper, we propose a novel clone detection approach, namely ACD, to mimic the adversarial process between the plagiarist and the detector, which enables us to not only build strong a clone detector but also model the behavior of the plagiarists. Such a plagiarist model may in turn help to understand the vulnerability of the current software clone detection tools. Experiments show that the learned policy of plagiarist can help us build stronger clone detector, which outperforms the existing clone detection methods.
Submodular Optimization over Streams with Inhomogeneous Decays

Cardinality constrained submodular function maximization, which aims to select a subset of size at most k to maximize a monotone submodular utility function, is the key in many data mining and machine learning applications such as data summarization and maximum coverage problems. When data is given as a stream, streaming submodular optimization (SSO) techniques are desired. Existing SSO techniques can only apply to insertion-only streams where each element has an infinite lifespan, and sliding-window streams where each element has a same lifespan (i.e., window size). However, elements in some data streams may have arbitrary different lifespans, and this requires addressing SSO over streams with inhomogeneous-decays (SSO-ID). This work formulates the SSO-ID problem and presents three algorithms: BASIC-STREAMING is a basic streaming algorithm that achieves an (1/2 − ɛ) approximation factor; HISTAPPROX improves the efficiency significantly and achieves an (1/3 − ɛ) approximation factor; HISTSTREAMING is a streaming version of HISTAPPROX and uses heuristics to further improve the efficiency. Experiments conducted on real data demonstrate that HISTSTREAMING can find high quality solutions and is up to two orders of magnitude faster than the naive GREEDY algorithm.
Capacity Control of ReLU Neural Networks by Basis-Path Norm

Recently, path norm was proposed as a new capacity measure for neural networks with Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function, which takes the rescaling-invariant property of ReLU into account. It has been shown that the generalization error bound in terms of the path norm explains the empirical generalization behaviors of the ReLU neural networks better than that of other capacity measures. Moreover, optimization algorithms which take path norm as the regularization term to the loss function, like Path-SGD, have been shown to achieve better generalization performance. However, the path norm counts the values of all paths, and hence the capacity measure based on path norm could be improperly influenced by the dependency among different paths. It is also known that each path of a ReLU network can be represented by a small group of linearly independent basis paths with multiplication and division operation, which indicates that the generalization behavior of the network only depends on only a few basis paths. Motivated by this, we propose a new norm Basis-path Norm based on a group of linearly independent paths to measure the capacity of neural networks more accurately. We establish a generalization error bound based on this basis path norm, and show it explains the generalization behaviors of ReLU networks more accurately than previous capacity measures via extensive experiments. In addition, we develop optimization algorithms which minimize the empirical risk regularized by the basis-path norm. Our experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed regularization method achieves clearly better performance on the test set than the previous regularization approaches.

Published: August 2019

Video super-resolution is a challenging task, which has attracted great attention in research and industry communities. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end architecture, called Residual Invertible Spatio-Temporal Network (RISTN) for video super-resolution. The RISTN can sufficiently exploit the spatial information from low-resolution to high-resolution, and effectively models the temporal consistency from consecutive video frames. Compared with existing recurrent convolutional network based approaches, RISTN is much deeper but more efficient. It consists of three major components: In the spatial component, a lightweight residual invertible block is designed to reduce information loss during feature transformation and provide robust feature representations. In the temporal component, a novel recurrent convolutional model with residual dense connections is proposed to construct deeper network and avoid feature degradation. In the reconstruction component, a new fusion method based on the sparse strategy is proposed to integrate the spatial and temporal features. Experiments on public benchmark datasets demonstrate that RISTN outperforms the state-ofthe-art methods.
