Published: June 2019

The aging immigrant population in affluent Western countries is rapidly growing. In the United States, the largest share of older adults is in this population of European immigrants, however, a handful of studies focus on this group. This article aims at filling this gap by analyzing data based on thirty-two interviews with aging Polish immigrants and observations made in senior centers in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint. We analyzed (1) the opportunities that the aging Poles encountered in the context of the neighborhood of Greenpoint, metro New York City, and broader in the U.S. We also examined (2) significant challenges faced by this group and considered their coping strategies reflected in different aging models. We argue that the reality of the aging process of the immigrant population is more complex than we would prefer to see it. Neither the image of aging immigrants barely “getting by,” vulnerable, and lonely that appears in literature nor an image of the empowered and “making it” immigrant is accurate (King et al. 2016). We observed these two scenarios overlapping in biographies of individual participants and across the biographies of different participants, together with other scenarios.
Stills in the Hills: Moonshine Memories from Around Canada’s First Polish Kashub Community
Authors: Blank Joshua C.
Published: June 2019

“Stills in the Hills” documents the long tradition of imbibing among the notoriously self-sufficient Polish-Kashub and Galician settlers of Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. It reaches back to the regions the settlers left—Prussian-occupied Pomerania and Austrian-occupied Galicia—and uses moonshine as a lens to examine the transnational origins of production and consumption. Using printed sources and local historical memory, this study peers into the transfer of the practice to Canada as well as subversive efforts of locals, in the community and the ethnoscape, to avoid the long arm of the law. Additionally, it unpacks several of the problems created, or exacerbated, by alcohol in the ethnic community.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM): Liberating Women in the Middle East
Authors: Islam Samira Ibrahim
Published: June 2019

Middle East Region is home to more than 400 million people, representing 5% of world population, and boasts aworkforce of 103 million scattered across 22 countries (Lord, 2016). Sixty five percent of the populations are youngaged 25 or under, which puts growing stress on educational, health and social systems. Over the last decade, mostMiddle East countries put into action many reforms for women’s rights and sensitivity toward gender issues. Currently,almost all Middle East countries have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination againstWomen (CEDAW). Many nations in the Region shown strong commitment to uplift education and make themaccessible to all eligible women. There was also substantial increase in the allocation of funds for education in nearlyall Middle East nations. For a balanced national development, women are needed in the various areas where theirfunctions are most suitable. In principle, there are equal opportunities for both genders but social perception andprejudice determine which types of employment are particularly suitable for women or men. Several renowned MiddleEastern women are Physicians, Chemist, Physicist, Engineers, Doctors, Judges, Lawyers, Journalist, Poets, Novelistand even Legislatives (Islam, 2017)
Preoperative Management of Antithrombotics in Arthroplasty
Authors: Barlow Brian T. , Hannon Matthew T. , Waldron Jacob E.
Published: June 2019

Antithrombotic therapy is common in the arthroplasty patient population; the preoperative management of chronic antithrombotic medications requires coordination among the medical team. It is estimated that approximately 250,000 or 10% of patients on chronic antithrombotic medication undergo treatment interruption for surgical procedures annually in North America. Although the description of postoperative anticoagulation management after arthroplasty is extensive, orthopaedic literature describing the preoperative management of antithrombotic therapy is lacking. The goal of this guideline is to provide practicing orthopaedic surgeons concise recommendations for the preoperative management of common contemporary antithrombotics in the setting of elective arthroplasty using evidence-based guidelines from other medical specialties. All arthroplasty procedures are considered high bleeding risk in accordance with collaborative AAOS and ACC guidelines. Orthopaedic surgeons should collaborate with their colleagues in cardiology, anesthesia, and other specialties when planning perioperative antithrombotic interruption, particularly in the case of medically complex patients such as those with known risk factors for bleeding and clotting disorders. Resumption of antithrombotic therapy after arthroplasty is beyond the scope of this discussion; this should be performed in accordance with cardiology and anesthesia recommendations.
Superior Laryngeal Nerve Palsy in Revision Anterior Cervical Surgery
Authors: Konopka Jeffrey A. , Armaghani Sheyan J. , Dao Ashley M. , Rhee John M.
Published: June 2019

Most spine surgeons routinely obtain preoperative ENT evaluation of recurrent laryngeal nerve function when contemplating revision anterior approaches to the cervical spine to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of bilateral vocal cord palsy. By contrast, there is less awareness of the potential for superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) injury—although a bilateral injury can, like bilateral injuries of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, have serious clinical consequences. This case report describes a 74-year-old man who, after a contralateral revision anterior approach to the upper cervical spine, developed bilateral SLN injury causing aspiration pneumonia and respiratory failure. We discuss risk factors associated with subclinical SLN injury and define at-risk patients who would benefit from preoperative SLN screening before revision anterior cervical surgery.
Effect of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction on Perioperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery
Authors: Bohsali Fuad , Klimpl David , Baumgartner Rita , Sieber Frederick , Eid Shaker M.
Published: June 2019

Introduction:

Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hip fracture surgery. The impact of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is poorly understood in this population. We designed a study to evaluate national perioperative outcomes in hip fracture for patients with HFpEF.

Methods:

Patients with hip fracture undergoing total hip arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty, or open/closed reduction with internal and external fixation from January 2005 to December 2013 were identified using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Inpatient outcomes during the index hospitalization were compared between patients without heart failure and with HFpEF. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction was included as a secondary comparator. Perioperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), defined as in-hospital all-cause death, acute myocardial infarction, and in-hospital cardiac arrest or acute ischemic stroke, were evaluated.

Results:

Among 2,020,712 hospitalizations for hip fracture surgery, perioperative MACCE occurred in 67,554 hospitalizations (3.3%), corresponding to an annual incidence of approximately 7,506 events after applying sample weights. Compared with patients without heart failure, patients with HFpEF experienced increased odds of MACCE, adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.69; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.51 to 1.89. In comparison, the aOR of experiencing a MACCE event in the heart failure with reduced ejection fraction group was 1.75 (95% CI, 1.57 to 1.96). HFpEF was also associated with increased odds of acute respiratory failure (aOR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.53 to 1.91) and acute renal failure (aOR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.41 to 1.64).

Conclusion:

HFpEF confers a significant perioperative risk of MACCE in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
Investigating Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Among Yemeni International Students in Malaysian Universities

Published: June 2019

The study aimed at identifying the level and sources of foreign language reading anxiety among Yemeni students in Malaysian universities. Besides, it aimed at finding out whether there are statistically significant differences in the means of responses of Yemeni students in Malaysian universities according to the variable ‘Level of study’ (Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD). The study is quantitative as it used Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS) to answer the study questions. FLRAS was distributed to general groups of Yemeni students in Malaysia in the form of an online survey. The number of participants who responded to the survey is 100 Yemen students who are preparing their bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees in different majors in Malaysia. The results of the study showed that the level of foreign language reading anxiety among Yemeni students in Malaysian universities is of moderate level across the three groups. More importantly, the result of the analysis showed that there are no statistically significant differences in the means of responses of Yemeni students in Malaysian universities according to the variable ‘Level of study’ (Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD). The findings of the study highlighted an important point in the investigation of foreign language reading anxiety which is the environment. Thus, studies on intercultural learning stated that the host culture is a source of learning anxiety; however, the moderate level of reading anxiety across the three groups in this study might be attributed to the fact that the medium of instruction and reading materials in Malaysian universities are in English language. Therefore, this finding makes a crystal-clear difference between reading anxiety and general intercultural learning anxiety in the host cultures where English is the medium of instruction. Students, instructors and researchers in this area might benefit from the findings of this study.
Penicillium citrinum as a Potential Biocontrol Agent for Sisal Bole Rot Disease

Published: June 2019

Agave sisalana, known as sisal, yields the world’s main natural stiff fiber used to produce various industrial products. The Brazilian semiarid is the largest sisal producing region in the world; however, production is under threat by sisal bole rot disease, caused by Aspergillus welwitschiae. Since chemical control of this disease is questionable in drought-ridden areas with little investment in crop management and due to environmental and public health concerns, the search for a biocontrol agent against A. welwitschiae is warranted. In this work, we isolated and identificated Penicillium citrinum as an endophyte from sisal plants collected from the Brazilian semi-arid and investigated whether it could be a biocontrol agent against sisal bole rot. P. citrinum inhibited the mycelium growth of A. welwitschiae by 65.8% when inoculated 72 hours before the pathogen, in dual culture medium assays. We found that P. citrinum can reduce sisal bole rot disease up to 90% when inoculated in sisal plants 48 hours before pathogen inoculation. Altogether, our data suggest a potential role for P. citrinum in the control of sisal bole rot disease.

Authors: Silva Bárbara Letícia Marchi da , Adona Paulo Roberto , Guemra Samuel , Monzani Paulo Sergio , Miranda Moysés dos Santos
Published: June 2019

Cows treated with single doses of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and ovum pick up (OPU) after 24 hours were evaluated for oocyte recovery, in vitro production of embryos (IVPE), and transferred embryos. To begin evaluations, the ovarian follicles larger than three millimeters in diameters were removed from all cows used in the study. Two days after OPU, 200 milligrams of FSH was given in a single dose in 6 cows (treated). Twenty-four hours after application of FSH, the cows underwent a new OPU session for oocyte retrieval. These procedures were repeated three consecutive times without interval. In control (FSH-free) cows the OPU were performed at intervals of one week or oocyte retrieval. The viable oocytes were submitted to IVPE, and the blastocysts were transferred to the recipients. The mean number of oocytes did not differ (p > 0.05) between control cows (12.1±2.8) and those treated (10.9±1.6). There were also no differences (p > 0.05) in the number (6.6±1.7 and 7.1±0.9, respectively) or in the percentage (54.4±3.3 and 64.5±3.1%, respectively) of viable oocytes between control cows and those treated. The percentage of IVPE and pregnancy did not differ (p > 0.05) between control cows (39.8±2.6% and 44.7±4.8%) and those treated (37.8±2.5% and 39.5±4.1%), respectively. The treatment with single doses of FSH did not significantly alter the evaluated results for oocyte recovery, IVPE and transferred embryos, and, therefore, did not promote significant improvements for the IVPE as a whole.
Factors Impeding Effective Crop Production in Ethiopia
Authors: Merga Bulti , Haji Jema
Published: June 2019

In the Ethiopia crop agriculture, pillar in balancing the food diet of the majority people, as a whole and the cereals specifically is facing serious and vast challenges which in turn affect the supply of food grains. Various research institutes in Ethiopia have revealed several factors which affect crop production over the past three decades, but their findings are not synthesized into a whole and difficult to access as such. This study attempts to review various existing research findings and present them holistically. The most common factors are lack of more recently introduced improved seeds, initial capital for investment, loss of cropland, labor, pesticides, invasive alien species, farm storage techniques, methods of small scale irrigation, and religious and cultural challenges. Thorough understanding these constraints, researchers and policy makers can make useful recommendations to crop growers’ on farm improvement system and not on how to devastate well designed sustainable crop production systems. Succinct and collated scientific information would help to shade light on the best standards to overcome most factors affecting crop production and enhance the productivity and quality of crops. Moreover, this paper offers more implications and recommendations for various stakeholders in Ethiopian and similar contexts.

Een juridische bypass voor innovaties

In het voorliggende artikel wordt verslag gedaan van een onderzoek naar de verschillende verschijningsvormen van een tijdelijke bypass van bestaande rechtsnormen die ten behoeve van innovatie gebruikt worden. Vooral die instrumenten zijn beschreven die toegepast worden om innovatieve producten in het echte leven te testen, wanneer dat zonder die bypass niet of niet zonder meer verenigbaar zou zijn met het geldende recht. Een theoretisch model om de praktische verschijningsvormen te ordenen wordt gevolgd door een beschrijving van wettelijke experimenteerbepalingen en regulatory sandboxes. De kritische beoordeling van deze twee vormen in het licht van de geldende normen en beginselen voert tot een set vuistregels, met behulp waarvan een vergunnende overheid een bypass kan aanleggen.

Diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi in woodpecker nest cavities in southern Poland
Authors: Jankowiak Robert , Ciach Michał , Bilański Piotr , Linnakoski Riikka
Published: June 2019

Globally, tree-holes are important ecological component of forest and woodlands. Numerous microorganisms rely on cavities, both natural and those excavated by primary cavity nesting birds, mainly by woodpeckers, for their survival and reproduction. However, the fungi occurring in cavities are not well characterized. Specifically, very little is known about the fungal communities inhabiting the woodpecker nest cavities. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the fungal diversity of cavities in southern Poland. The samples were collected from freshly excavated woodpecker nest cavities using a nondestructive method (ND). The spatial distribution of fungal communities within the cavities was evaluated by sampling different parts of a single cavity using a destructive method (D). We detected 598 fungal isolates that included 64 species in three phyla and 16 orders using the ND method. Most of the fungi isolated from the cavities represented the phylum Ascomycota (73.9% of the isolates) with 11 orders, and Microascales was the predominant order (30% of the isolates). The most common species detected was Petriella musispora, which was isolated from 65% of the cavities. A total of 150 isolates (25%) were members of Basidiomycota, with Hymenochaetales being the dominant order (16% of the isolates). The basidiomycetous fungi were isolated from 55% of the cavities. Several taxa closely related to the pathogenic fungi and associated with secondary animal infections were detected in the wood of cavities. We identified different fungal communities in the three cavity parts using the D method. The cavity entrance had more number of species than the middle and bottom parts. The results of this study advanced our current knowledge on the mycobiota in woodpecker nest cavities and provided preliminary evidence for tree cavities being the hotspot for fungal diversity.

An ethnobotanical survey was carried out in the Knin area (northern Dalmatia, Croatia) with the aim of recording traditional plant use by the local (native) people and contributing to the knowledge of plant biodiversity in the investigated area. Ethnobotanical data were collected by interviewing 40 local people at 17 locations. Data on 123 plant taxa (on average 21 taxa per interview) and 122 unique medicinal and 18 food uses in the local community were recorded. Prevalent medicinal uses of the recorded taxa were the treatment of digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular disorders, and injuries. The most commonly used plant parts gathered were leaves (35%) and flowers (20%). The most commonly collected plants in the investigated area were: Urtica dioica, Thymus longicaulis, Sambucus nigra, and Hypericum perforatum.
Bochdalek hernia in adult female with intrathoracic left kidney and splenic flexure of colon : a rare case report with literature review
Authors: Kumar Navin , Gupta Amit , Rajput Deepak
Published: June 2019

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is extremely rare in adults. Bochdalek hernia (BH) is the commonest among all congenital diaphragmatic hernias. It is due to incomplete fusion of pleuroperitoneal folds during early fetal development. It remains asymptomatic in many adults. It usually occurs on the left side and common in male (62%). Open or laparoscopic surgical repair is the treatment of choice. We are reporting a rare case of BH in an adult female with intra-thoracic left kidney and splenic flexure of the colon, who presented with non-specific abdominal symptoms. Key message: BH in adults is usually present with vague abdominal symptoms. We advocate the use of CECT scan of the abdomen in the management of all cases with non-specific abdominal symptoms.

Simplified diagnostic algorithm for classification of preoperative anaemia based on complete blood count and its application in elective gastrointestinal surgery
Authors: Czempik Piotr , Czepczor Kinga , Czok Marcelina , Pluta Michał , Krzych Łukasz
Published: June 2019

Introduction
Anaemia is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, length of stay, requirement for blood transfusion. Early differential diagnosis of anaemia may expedite treatment and outcome in the perioperative setting. The aim of our study was to create simplified diagnostic algorithm for classification of anaemia based on complete blood count and test its applicability in elective gastrointestinal surgical population.
Material and methods
Selected red blood cell (RBC) parameters derived from CBC test performed by the Central Laboratory of the University Clinical Centre of Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland were reviewed retrospectively for the group of 442 consecutive patients scheduled for elective, high-risk (according to) GI surgery between January 2016 and August 2018. Based on pathophysiologic data we created a simplified diagnostic algorithm for classification of preoperative anaemia and applied it to the study population.
Results
Using the cut-off value of 130 g L-1 for both sexes, anaemia was diagnosed in 166 patients (37.5%). As many as 29 (17.5%) anaemic patients had aetiology of anaemia accurately established by using our simplified diagnostic algorithm – either iron or vitamin B12/folate deficiency.
Discussion
Preoperative anaemia is common in elective gastrointestinal surgery. Simplified diagnostic algorithm based solely on complete blood count parameters might be helpful in the preliminary identification of patients with iron and vitamin B12/folic acid deficiencies so haematinic supplementation can be started early.

Authors: Falkowski Mariusz , Liberek Michał
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this paper is to present the concepts of deploying engineer troops in military operations in the late 1970s and early 1980s, on the basis of the publications contained in the classified Myśl Wojskowa journal. The publications concerned the main tasks of engineer troops in basic tactical operations, including in particular those consisting in crossing water obstacles or establishing barrier minefields in that period. The article analyses also the needs of engineer troops in the discussed period and describes the basic principles of using this type of arms for performing engineering tasks. Furthermore, the attention is drawn to the wide use of engineer troops in that period, which were responsible, to a considerable extent, for providing support for the fighting elements, including in particular armoured and mechanised units.
ETA’s terrorist activities
– historical background and contemporary times
Authors: Kubiak Mariusz , Iwanowska Wioleta
Published: June 2019

Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) was a terrorist organization fighting for the independence of the Basque Country from under the rule of Spain. It was created in 1959 by members of the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV). The terrorist attacks carried out by it were directed against the representatives of the authorities and law enforcement officers, but many civilians were also killed as a result of armed conflicts. The organization’s activity was financed mainly from extortion money, which was collected from entrepreneurs under the threat of death. Acts of violence have become everyday life for Spanish citizens. For this reason, the initially supported organization began to arouse reluctance and induce waves of protests against the methods it used. The Spanish government tried to negotiate and sign the ceasefire with the organization, however, it proved ineffective. The organization has repeatedly announced the suspension of fighting, and then carried out subsequent acts of terror. In 2011, ETA announced the end of military activity, and in 2017 its members finally gave up their arms. Most of the organization’s activists are currently in jail. ETA has killed 829 people since its inception.

Model of performance-based budget planning
in public sector entities
Authors: Milewski Radosław , Tomasiewicz Magdalena
Published: June 2019

A performance-based budget as a planned expenditure budget is drawn up in the system of functions, tasks and subtasks, together with the indication of subcontracted tasks and objectives that are to be achiev-ed by the implementation of tasks/subtasks and measures, defining the degree of achievement of the objectives. It is an essential element of the public finance management system of the state as a tool for efficient management of public tasks, ensuring the achievement of specific objectives. It is even more effective in a more utilitarian model. The idea of budgeting appeared in the USA in the 40s of the twentieth century. It was associated with the lack of efficiency of public finances in the form of the traditional budgeting model. Over time, the idea spread to other countries, which are primarily the Member States of the European Union. A performance budget is one of the modern forms of public financial management. The data contained in the budget may provide information on the planned investments or a city’s financial condition. The essence of the budget in the task system is to bind the revenue and expenditure with the relevant public tasks. The article is an attempt to construct a reference model of law-based budgetary planning in the sector of public finances. Development of model solutions shall serve subsequent verification within the selected branch of the economy in the future.

Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic agent with antioxidant properties. However, the effect of propofol on oxidative stress index (OSI) and lipid peroxidation in Parkinson’s disease is still unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of propofol on OSI and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the selected brain regions of the rats with Parkinson’s disease (PD).
32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: I- control group, II- group with PD, III-control group with propofol, IV-PD group with propofol. 60mg/kg of propofol was given to the 8-weeks-old rats intraperitoneally, and the selected parts of the rats’ brains (frontal cortex, striatum, thalamus and hippocampus) were isolated after decapitation. The concentration of MDA, which is a marker of lipid peroxidation, and OSI were measured.
In group IV compared to group II, was observed a significant MDA level decrease in the cortex (39%, p <0.001), striatum (28%, p <0.001), hippocampus (21%, p <0.05) and thalamus (20%, p <0.05), together with a decreased OSI level in the thalamus (71%, p <0,001), cortex (70%, p <0.05), striatum (65%, p <0.001), and hippocampus (57%, p <0.05). In group III compared to group I was observed decrease in MDA level in the cortex (40%, p <0.001).
Propofol inhibits oxidative stress in all the evaluated structures of the rat brain with Parkinson’s disease. There are significant differences in the response of brain tissues to administered propofol between rats with PD and healthy ones.
Application of the CEN/ISO Standard for Phytase Activity Measurements to a New Phytase Product: Determination of a Robust Conversion Factor by an Interlaboratory Study for Screening Feed Samples
Authors: González de la Huebra María José , Robouch Piotr , Emteborg Håkan , Bellorini Stefano , Cizek-Stroh Aneta , von Holst Christoph
Published: June 2019

Background: Phytase-based preparations are important feed additives currently authorised in the European Union (EU). The European Standard (EN) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 30024 describes a harmonized method for the determination of phytase
activity and is fit-for-purpose for official control of a group of phytase products. However, it is not suitable for the determination of the phytase activity of a new feed additive encoded as 4a16 in the EU Register of Feed Additives, to which a slightly different phytase activity definition
has been attributed. Objective: To establish a robust conversion factor to support official control laboratories that apply the EN ISO method when monitoring feed products containing 4a16. Methods: The phytase activity of test materials was determined by the participants using
the EN ISO and/or the “applicant” methods. Results: Robust relative SDs for repeatability and for reproducibility of the methods applied for the determination of the phytase activity in the materials containing the 4a16 feed additive ranged from 2.6 to 22% (EN ISO method)
and from 2.4 to 39% (applicant method). Conclusions: The data obtained confirmed the performance characteristics published for other phytase-based feeds in the related standard methods. These results allowed us to estimate a factor of 2.68 to convert phytase activities measured with
the EN ISO method into the enzyme activity measured with the applicant method. Highlights: The obtained conversion factor will allow EU official laboratories to screen feed samples supplemented with the 4a16 phytase by applying EN ISO Standard 30024.
Certified Reference Materials and Metrological Traceability for Mycotoxin Analysis
Authors: Guo Zhen , Li Xianjiang , Li Hongmei
Published: June 2019

In the past decade, with the signing of the joint declaration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the International Organisation of Legal Metrology, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, and the International Organization for Standardization,
and the issuing of new international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 13528, metrological traceability has become more and more important for the mutual recognition of measurement results. It is found that the important factors for ensuring the accuracy of results are not only relevant
to calibrants but also to the analysis procedure. This paper focuses on the analysis of key factors that affect measurement results, such as analytical methods, reference materials (RMs), and proficiency testing of mycotoxins. The Capacity Building and Knowledge Transfer Programme for mycotoxins,
led by the BIPM, which aims to establish a global measurement system traced to the Système International d’Unités (SI), is well illustrated. Furthermore, this paper suggests to stakeholders that great effort is needed to promote the effective use of certified RM resources
that are traced to the SI and globally recognized by the International Committee for Weights and Measures to finally realize “one measurement, global recognition.”

Authors: Santos Clibson Alves dos
Published: June 2019

A Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) da Bacia hidrográfica do Rio Machado (APA-BHRM) localizada no Sul de Minas Gerais foi criada em 1999. Em 2015 após a criação do conselho gestor, estabeleceu-se uma parceria técnico-científica entre IEF – Sul de Minas, UNIFAL-MG e a ARPA Rio Grande - Agência Regional de Proteção Ambiental da Bacia do Rio Grande para a elaboração do diagnóstico e zoneamento geoambiental da APA tendo como base a análise integrada de estudos temáticos sobre hidrografia, aspectos climáticos, geologia e solos, geomorfologia e processos erosivos, uso e ocupação da terra e cobertura vegetal, análise demográfica e socioeconômica e levantamento da fauna e flora. Além dos documentos citados, produziu-se um material didático voltado para professores utilizarem o contexto ambiental da região para o ensino de Geografia e Ciências na educação básica. As análises mencionadas acima, resultaram na proposição de um zoneamento geoambiental, indicando cinco zonas segundo as suas peculiaridades naturais, tendo como critérios fundamentais a cobertura vegetal/uso dos terrenos, os solos, as rochas e o relevo, sendo elas: Zona Proteção Ambiental (ZPA), Zona de Interesse Ecológico (ZIE), Zona de Interesse Hidrológico (ZIH), Zona Restrição Produtiva 1 (ZRP 1) e a Zona de Adequação Produtiva 2 (ZAP 2). O zoneamento proposto conjuntamente com os estudos temáticos realizados, visam subsidiar estudos subsequentes e auxiliar nas discussões e tomada de decisões sobre a gestão ambiental sustentável no âmbito do conselho APA-BHRM e das demais entidades que atuam na unidade. Além disso, espera-se que este estudo seja uma das bases para a complementação futura dos estudos relacionados ao plano de manejo.
“Do you wanna play a game?”. Espacio y niveles de implicación del público en la representación escénica del género terrorífico
Authors: Carrera Garrido Miguel
Published: June 2019

El teatro, muy a menudo excluido en los estudios sobre géneros comúnmente llamados no miméticos (el terror, lo fantástico, la ciencia ficción), puede, sin embargo, aportar mecanismos que caen más allá del alcance de otros medios como el cine o la narrativa. En concreto, el terror puede beneficiarse de la ruptura de la cuarta pared y la integración del público en el ámbito escénico. El artículo rastrea, en la teoría y en la práctica, los grados de tal asimilación y las posibilidades que se siguen para la recreación del terror en las tablas. Theatre, very often excluded in studies on genres usually called non-mimetic (horror, the fantastic, science fiction), can, however, afford mechanisms that fall beyond the reach of other media such as film or narrative fiction. Specifically, horror can benefit from the breaking of the fourth wall and the integration of the audience into the scenic area. This article traces, both in theory and in practice, the degrees of this assimilation to the show and the possibilities that follow for the recreation of horror on the stage.
Las voces narrativas en la obra documental agraria de José Neches
Authors: Melendo Cruz Ana
Published: June 2019

La aproximación a la obra documental de José Neches resulta decisiva en la comprensión del documental rural en España, no solo desde un punto de vista histórico, sino también desde una perspectiva plástica. El carácter pedagógico que los define necesita del uso de algunos artificios narrativos que posibiliten el pacto de verosimilitud entre el emisor y el receptor que anima a todo texto documental. Por eso, este trabajo quiere ocuparse de la lectura narratológica de las diferentes voces narrativas, que irrumpen en la filmografía nechesiana, para arrojar luz sobre las distintas funciones que en estos textos desempeñan. The approximation to the agrarian documentary work of José Neches is decisive for the comprehension of the rural documentary in Spain, not only from a historical point of view but, also, from a visual perspective. The pedagogical character which defines his work uses some narrative tools that make possible the verisimilitude deal between the sender and the receiver which enlivens every documentary text. Therefore, this work aims to address the narratological lecture of the different narrative voices that burst into Neches’ filmography to shed light on the many functions this texts carry.

Metodología para la normalización gráfica de los escudos de representación directa: el caso del escudo nacional de Ecuador
Authors: Sosa Freire Rex Típton
Published: June 2019

El escudo ecuatoriano no es de armas porque no es heráldico, es de representación directa (viñeta). Pese a ser un símbolo nacional, no contaba con una metodología para su graficación y análisis. El estudio propuso el método DAERDI (Diseccionamiento analítico para escudos de representación directa) en atención a cinco ámbitos de estudio: forma y dimensiones, figuras, ornamentos externos, aspecto cromático y, como “un todo”. Su aplicación permitirá estandarizar el diseño gráfico y la comprensión de sus contenidos.The Ecuadorian escutcheon cannot be a coat of arms because it is not heraldic; it is an emblem of direct representation (vignette Shield). Despite being a national symbol, it has not had an appropriate methodology for its graphing and analysis. Thus, this study proposed the DAERDI Method (Analytical Dissection Method for Direct Representation Escutcheons Method), after deeming five respects: forms and dimensions, figures, external ornaments, chromatic features and as “a whole”. Its application will allow standardizing the graphic design and the comprehension of its contents.

As emissões de gases que geram o aquecimento na atmosfera, são causados por atividades antrópicas e ciclos naturais, despertando o interesse do monitoramento de suas emissões, principalmente o gás carbônico, que nos últimos anos teve sua concentração aumentada, gerando preocupação no ambiente científico. Neste contexto o presente estudo objetivou avaliar a dinâmica temporal do efluxo de CO2, uma das parcelas do balanço de carbono, para um fragmento de cerrado urbano, na cidade de Cuiabá-MT, analisando quais variáveis influenciaram em sua variação, como características microclimáticas e da quantificação da serapilheira produzida. Foram monitorados 5 pontos aleatórios no parque, e o estudo foi realizado no período de agosto de 2015 a julho de 2016. A média anual de emissão de CO2 no solo 1,75 µmolm-2s-1 e acumulado anual foi de 25,44 µmolm-2s-1. Foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre as médias mensais, demonstrando sazonalidade, porém para os mesmos horários de meses diferentes, não houve diferença estatística. As correlações indicam que a presença de água no ambiente foi determinante para controlar as emissões de CO2. Houve um acúmulo de 6,835 ton/ha de serapilheira para o período analisado. O trabalho também mostrou que a média de efluxo de CO2 para este fragmento é menor que o de outros biomas mato-grossenses, Pantanal e floresta de transição Cerrado/Amazônia.
Entre oportunidades e recursos, a estratégia de uma operadora no mercado regulado das telecomunicações
Authors: Regina de Souza Celia
Published: June 2019

A avalanche de novos serviços disponibilizados em plataformas que viabilizam tecnologias de voz sobre dados, como a TV por internet, vídeos em tecnologia streaming e a comunicação WhatsApp passaram a fazer parte do cotidiano dos consumidores, o que sobrecarregam as redes das operadoras de telecomunicações e acirra a competitividade no mercado. O cenário remete a uma necessária mudança de comportamento no setor, paralelo a uma essencial revisão da regulamentação existente. Este estudo analisa os impactos do mercado regulado das telecomunicações em pleno processo de convergência com a indústria de TI, onde a regulamentação exerce dupla influência sobre a indústria: garantir a ordem nos serviços de telecomunicações e, por outro lado, um risco ofensor de desvantagem na competitividade e freio da inovação em uma economia digital. Com base nos aportes das teorias de VBM e VBR, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório, realizada através de estudo de caso e revisão bibliográfica, sob a lente dos impactos regulatórios na competitividade. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevista semiestruturada do corpo estratégico de uma operadora de telecom, sendo tratados de forma qualitativa. As análises apontaram para uma descoberta: a regulamentação como forte influenciadora no posicionamento estratégico, pode ser nociva à competitividade e deflagração da indústria quando não consegue acompanhar a evolução e o dinamismo do setor. Com isso, a operadora em estudo propõe uma estratégia de agregação de serviços de TI sobre telecom, indicando uma alternativa de inovar dentro de um mercado regulado.
