Compensation Scheme for Self-Employed Bus Service Requisitions in Urban–Rural Passenger Transport
Authors: Zhang Chunqin , Hu Yuting , Ni Anning , Li Hongwei
Published: September 2019

This paper addresses a compensation scheme for self-employed bus service requisition of rural passenger transport, and provides a theoretical basis and policy recommendations for the smooth implementation of self-employed bus service requisition process and the integration of urban–rural passenger transport resources. Using Chinese urban–rural passenger transport systems in ten cities or counties (including Shenyang, Liaoyang, Wuxi, Suzhou, Laiwu, Zouping, Wuhu, Guangde, Shuangliu, and Fuyang) as research objects, the compensation scheme for self-employed bus service requisition is explored from three aspects: the construction of compensation model, the estimation of compensation amount, and the determination of compensation mode. The conclusions drawn from this study are summarized as follows: (1) The compensation amount consists of the bus service residual value, the compensation for expected profit in the residual operation period, and the awarded amount for signing compensation agreements. (2) Whether or not bus owners accept the compensation amount is closely related to their psychological expectation threshold. Changes in the average profit of the bus service, the driver’s average wage, and the ticket-seller’s wage, have the greatest impact, the second greatest impact, and the smallest impact on their psychological expectation threshold, respectively. (3) Younger and more highly educated owners tend to accept “monetary compensation and reemployment placement”, while older and low educated owners prefer “monetary compensation and social security”. (4) High compensation fees, providing reemployment placement for drivers and ticket-sellers, and implementing monetary compensation in the form of an “expected income dividend installment” can enhance willingness to sign compensation agreements for self-employed bus service.

Published: September 2019

Innovation activities of private firms are crucial for sustainable economic growth in every society. Therefore, the majority of firms around the world spend large amounts of capital (money, time, and human resources) in searching for novel innovative opportunities in the marketplace. In our study, we sought to understand how the openness of firms’ external search strategies (external search breadth and external search depth) affects firms’ innovation capabilities as measured by awareness, decision-making, interpretation, and implementation capability. Furthermore, using survey data collected from 112 Chinese manufacturing firms over a six-month period, this study conducted an empirical analysis about the association between firms’ innovation capabilities on the type of innovation (exploratory innovation vs. exploitative innovation). This study also provides important managerial insights for manufacturing companies.

Published: September 2019

Soil nutrients are the basis of ecological remediation. Soil amendments can form a reticular membrane structure on the soil surface to increase nutrient storage and alleviate nutrient imbalances, and are affected by the environmental temperature. At present, the qualitative evaluation of the effect of soil amendment is mainly based on vegetative growth. However, with the increasing use of soil amendments, how to conveniently and quantitatively evaluate the impact of soil amendments on ecological restoration under different temperature conditions from the perspective of soil urgently needs to be solved. Therefore, a new soil amendment named aqua-dispersing nano-binder (ADNB) and silty clay that is commonly used for ecological restoration in South China were used as research subjects, and the important soil nutrient storage capacity—soil conductivity index—was used as the starting point to find solutions to the above problems. We independently developed a multifunctional instrument to measure the soil amendment concentration. Clay conductivity measurements were used by adding different concentrations of ADNB within the range of 0 to 50 °C, and the mechanism by which temperature and ADNB affect the conductivity of clay was revealed. In addition, the quantitative relationship between the clay conductivity, ambient temperature and concentration of ADNB was elucidated. According to the growth conditions of melinis minutiflora and pigeon pea under different concentrations of ADNB, the optimal ADNB concentration needed to improve ecological restoration was obtained, which provided a new way to evaluate the effects of the large-scale use of soil modifiers on ecological restoration.
Linking Land Use Metrics Measured in Aquatic–Terrestrial Interfaces to Water Quality of Reservoir-Based Water Sources in Eastern China
Authors: Ding Lilian , Li Qiyao , Tang Jianjun , Wang Jiangfei , Chen Xin
Published: September 2019

The effects of anthropogenic land use on the water quality of reservoir-based water sources are understudied. We trained a self-organizing map (SOM) to measure the spatial pattern of nutrients over the course of a year in 61 reservoirs located in eastern China. In the linear regression model and one-way analyses of variance, we found that water quality was influenced by period of the year (flood, low, and normal periods based on rainfall conditions) and reservoir altitude (plains vs. mountains). Our results indicated that land use metrics measured in aquatic–terrestrial interfaces significantly influenced the water quality of reservoirs. The land use intensity (LUI) and the proportion of construction land had a positive correlation with ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) concentrations, and redundancy analysis indicated that the percent of landscape (PLAND) represented by construction land was positively correlated with CODMn, NH3-N, total phosphorus (TP), and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations. The proportion of cropland was not correlated with any water quality property except for CODMn concentration. The total explained variance for water quality was highest when the scale was large (the area defined by a 1500 m radius around the reservoir), indicating that management which ensures water safety should be carried out at this scale.

Published: September 2019

The Qingyuan mushroom culture system (QMCS) in Zhejiang Province has been recognized as the source of the world’s first artificial cultivation of mushrooms with a history of more than 800 years. The system embodies the farming wisdom of the local people who have adapted themselves to and utilized nature and has integrated the traditional bark hacking method with multiple modern patterns for mushroom cultivation based on artificial microbial strains. We have investigated the input–output operation of farmers and assessed and analyzed emergy indicators in a bid to reflect and compare their economic and ecological benefits, as well as their sustainable development by analyzing the three typical mushroom cultivation patterns. The cost-benefit analysis of the three patterns shows that the sawdust medium-cultivated method (SMCM) is characterized by dominance in both net income without labor cost and labor productivity; while the evaluation based on emergy indicators has proven that each has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of ecological and economic benefits and sustainable development. Among them, the bark hacking method (BHM) features the highest utilization rates of local and renewable resources, the smallest damage to the environment, the lowest production efficiency, and the highest exchange efficiency, but the sawdust medium-cultivated method is just the opposite, and the log-cultivated method (LCM) is the most favorable one for sustainable development. As its agricultural heritage, the QMCS’ core of dynamic protection and adaptive management lies in enhancing the sustainable development of its agricultural production methods. It is recommended that the three patterns be improved by targeting their respective shortcomings and at the same time, integrate their advantages to explore a new sustainable development pattern for mushroom cultivation.
Sustainable Development of Urban Green Areas for Quality of Life Improvement—Argument for Increased Citizen Participation
Authors: Constantinescu Mihaela , Orîndaru Andreea , Căescu Ștefan-Claudiu , Pachițanu Andreea
Published: September 2019

Considering the imperative need for sustainable urban development, this article argues for increased citizen participation in the decision-making process, as it generates better outcomes (due to a wider range of perspectives) and also makes people better citizens, as they will be partially responsible for the results. One major dimension of urban areas’ which needs a sustainable development is represented by parks, which can be directly associated to citizens’ quality of life (QoL). Thus, we have conducted direct research (face-to-face interviews) of park visitors in order to analyze the perceived impact of green areas on their quality of life. From all the QoL dimensions, we have selected six which are directly linked to park visits—health (mental and physical), social interaction, education and culture, family life, freedom, and connection with nature—in order to determine the perceived degree of association between them, as well as the specific activities done in the park that impact those six dimensions. The research results were used to develop a conceptual model which links quality of life to park visits, a model that can and should be used by public authorities in order to build a collaborative process for urban sustainable development.
Boomers’ Intention to Choose Healthy Housing Materials: An Application of the Health Belief Model
Authors: Kwon Hyun Joo , Ahn Mira
Published: September 2019

This study aims to understand the decision-making process of healthy housing material selection of boomers who were born between 1946 and 1964 in the United States within the Health Belief Model (HBM) framework incorporating personal factors. The main constructs were three HBM components (perceived benefits, threats, and barriers), personal domains (knowledge, health concerns, and sensitivity to housing materials), and behavioral intention to choose healthy housing materials. With a nationwide random sample of boomers living in their homes (N = 306), path analysis was used to test the proposed research model. The findings indicate that behavioral intention to choose healthy housing materials is influenced by perceived benefits and threats. Of the personal factors, the knowledge component is directly and indirectly significantly associated with the behavioral intention. Insignificant association of perceived barriers and other personal components (health concerns and sensitivity) to the intention and the HBM components yield meaningful implications and discussions. The contribution of the HBM application to this study is to provide a foundation for understanding healthy housing material choosing behaviors for the general prevention of potential health issue purposes rather than actual maintenance. This paper discusses the significance of breadth and reliability of knowledge and the role of the relevant professionals to provide and communicate this knowledge.
Circular Area Design or Circular Area Functioning? A Discourse-Institutional Analysis of Circular Area Developments in Amsterdam and Utrecht, The Netherlands
Authors: Van den Berghe Karel , Vos Martijn
Published: September 2019

The hypothesis of this paper is that the circular economy (CE) has the potential to (re)balance the conflict within urban spatial planning between ‘place as a location’ and the ‘organization of space’. The former dominates the latter following a shift from a Fordist towards a finance and real-estate driven regime. A consequence is that existing manufacturing areas are increasingly transformed into residential and commercial areas. However, this conflicts with the rationale of CE, namely that to end the linear economy, externalized activities, such as the (re)manufacturing of waste, should be internalized again, especially within urban regions. Emphasized by the EU, The Netherlands have the ambition to become fully circular in 2050. To test our hypothesis, we focus on two ongoing circular area developments in Amsterdam and Utrecht. By performing a discourse-institutional analysis, we detect in both case studies a change in discourse towards CE. Our results show that in contrast to our hypothesis, the concept of circularity is not emphasizing the ‘organization of space’, but even accelerating ‘space as a location’, increasingly transforming urban industrial areas into circular built residential and commercial areas. We conclude with spatial policy recommendations regarding the ambitions of a future CE.
A Developed Framework for the Multi-District Ecological Compensation Standards Integrating Ecosystem Service Zoning in an Urban Area in China
Authors: He Jia , Wan Yu , Tang Zhonglin , Zhu Xiaodong , Wen Chuanhao
Published: September 2019

Ecological compensation is an effective means to adjust relationships among stakeholders in order to conserve and/or sustainably use ecosystem services. The current ecological compensation standards (ECS) do not well reflect the differences in ecological, social, and economic development. Thus, we took a typical urbanization area (the Suzhou–Wuxi–Changzhou region) in China as an example, because of its prominent contradiction between rapid socio-economic development and fragile ecosystem. Combined with the ecological, economic, and social conditions, the methods of ecosystem service value (ESV) evaluation, cluster analysis, and scenario analysis were used to propose an optimized spatial zoning method and optimal development scenario. Then, the ECS by different zones were determined by using ESV assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and contingent valuation method. The results showed that (1) the regions were divided into two categories, with a total of four zones: ESV output areas (synergetic development zones (SDZ) and ecological conservation zones (ECZ)) and ESV input areas (ecological degradation zones (EDegZ) and economic development zones (EDevZ)); (2) among five scenarios, the best development mode in the future was the protection and development scenario, which was consistent with the existing planning; and (3) the ECS for the SDZ should be paid about 1.94 billion Yuan/year, the ECZ should be paid about 0.80 billion Yuan/year, the ECS for the EDegZ should pay about 2.20–2.25 million Yuan/year, and the EDevZ should pay about 0.06–7.33 million Yuan/year. By feasibility analysis, the ESV input areas were fully capable of inter-regional compensation, which could promote the effective purchase of ecological services. The developed evaluation framework of ECS in this study can accurately provide a scientific basis for the determination of ecological compensation regulations and policies in the future.
Joint Decision Model of Group Ticket Booking Limits and Individual Passenger Dynamic Pricing for the High-Speed Railway
Authors: Yan Zhenying , Zhang Pingting , Zhang Yujia , Liu Hui , Feng Chenxi , Li Xiaojuan
Published: September 2019

Rail operators in many countries discount group tickets to improve revenue by increasing price-driven demand. For individual passengers, dynamic pricing is beneficial for maximizing revenue based on the price discrimination principle. Usually, group fares are cheaper than individual fares. If too many group tickets are sold, there will not be enough tickets available to meet high-priced individual demand; by contrast, if not enough group tickets are sold and there is insufficient individual demand, the unsold seats will not have value once the train departs. Therefore, for railway operators, it is worth looking for a balance between group discounts and dynamic pricing to maximize benefits. Essentially, rail operators need to find the symmetry point of the expected revenue between accepting group bookings and reserving tickets for individuals when making decisions. In this study, we formulated a joint decision model of group ticket booking control and dynamic pricing and investigated the effect of the joint decision. The results of numerical experiments showed that incorporating group discounts into dynamic pricing can improve expected revenue when passenger demand is weak, and compared to setting fixed quantities for group tickets, dynamically controlling the limit of group bookings can effectively increase expected revenue. Further analysis of the impacts of time, number of tickets sold, and group demand was helpful to implement the proposed joint policy.
The Quantum Cosmological Constant
Authors: Alexander Stephon , Magueijo Joao , Smolin Lee
Published: September 2019

We present an extension of general relativity in which the cosmological constant becomes dynamical and turns out to be conjugate to the Chern–Simons invariant of the Ashtekar connection on a spatial slicing. The latter has been proposed Soo and Smolin as a time variable for quantum gravity: the Chern–Simons time. In the quantum theory, the inverse cosmological constant and Chern–Simons time will then become conjugate operators. The “Kodama state” gets a new interpretation as a family of transition functions. These results imply an uncertainty relation between Λ and Chern–Simons time; the consequences of which will be discussed elsewhere.
Categorizing Three-Dimensional Symmetry Using Reflection, Rotoinversion, and Translation Symmetry
Authors: Baclig Maria Martine , Westover Lindsey , Adeeb Samer
Published: September 2019

Symmetry is a property that has been widely examined clinically as a measurement of health and aesthetic appeal. Many current techniques that assess geometric symmetry rely on interpretation from a trained operator or produce two-dimensional measurements that cannot express the three-dimensional character of an object. In this article, we propose a comprehensive markerless method that describes an object’s symmetry using three types of fundamental symmetry, reflection, rotoinversion—a combination of reflection and rotation—and translation—a process of reflection and rigid movement. This is done by mirroring an object over an arbitrary plane and aligning the mirrored image with the original object in a position that minimizes deviation between both objects. Each object’s symmetry can be displayed in two ways, numerically, with a best plane of symmetry or “Psym”, a fixed point and the mirrored objects rotation and magnitude of translation in relation to the original object, and visually, through a 3D deviation contour map. Three examples were made: Model 1 showed reflection symmetry and resulted in a standard deviation of 0.002 mm, Model 2 expressed rotoinversion symmetry and produced a standard deviation of 0.003 mm and Model 3 expressed translational symmetry which resulted in a translation magnitude difference of 0.015% with respect to model height. This simple procedure accurately recognizes reflection, rotoinversion and translation symmetry, takes minimal time and expertise and has the ability to expand previous case specific methods to a global application of symmetry analysis.
Serrulin: A Glycine-Rich Bioactive Peptide from the Hemolymph of the Yellow Tityus serrulatus Scorpion
Authors: de Jesus Oliveira Thiago , Oliveira Ursula Castro de , da Silva Junior Pedro Ismael
Published: September 2019

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecules, which have a potential use as antibiotic or pharmacological tools. In chelicerate organisms, such as scorpions, these molecules constitute an alternative defense system against microorganisms. The aim of this work was to identify AMPs in the hemolymph of the Tityus serrulatus scorpion. Fractions of plasma and hemocytes were subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and then analyzed to determine their activity in inhibiting microbial growth. One of the fractions from the hemocytes presents antimicrobial activity against microorganisms, such as Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and yeast. These fractions were analyzed by mass spectrometry, and a fragment of 3564 Da. was identified. The peptide was called serrulin, because it is derived from the species T. serrulatus. A comparison of the amino acid sequence of serrulin with databases shows that it has a similarity to the glycine-rich peptides described in Cupienius salai and Acanthoscurria gomesiana (spiders). Furthermore, serrulin has no hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes. While the presence of AMPs in T. serrulatus venom has been described in other works, this is the first work to characterize the presence of these molecules in the hemolymph (hemocytes) of this species and show its potential use as an alternative to conventional antibiotics against different species of microorganisms.
Nonlocal Gravitomagnetism
Authors: Mashhoon Bahram , Hehl Friedrich W.
Published: September 2019

We briefly review the current status of nonlocal gravity (NLG), which is a classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein’s theory of gravitation based on a certain analogy with the nonlocal electrodynamics of media. Nonlocal gravity thus involves integro-differential field equations and a causal constitutive kernel that should ultimately be determined from observational data. We consider the stationary gravitational field of an isolated rotating astronomical source in the linear approximation of nonlocal gravity. In this weak-field and slow-motion approximation of NLG, we describe the gravitomagnetic field associated with the rotating source and compare our results with gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) of the standard general relativity theory. Moreover, we briefly study the energy-momentum content of the GEM field in nonlocal gravity.

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV-1) can cause heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The virus targets erythrocytes in the acute peak phase, followed by cardiomyocytes, before the infection subsides into persistence. The persistent phase is characterized by high level of viral RNA, but low level of viral protein. The origin and nature of persistent PRV-1 are not clear. Here, we analyzed for viral persistence and activity in various tissues and cell types in experimentally infected Atlantic salmon. Plasma contained PRV-1 genomic dsRNA throughout an 18-week long infection trial, indicating that viral particles are continuously produced and released. The highest level of PRV-1 RNA in the persistent phase was found in kidney. The level of PRV-1 ssRNA transcripts in kidney was significantly higher than that of blood cells in the persistent phase. In-situ hybridization assays confirmed that PRV-1 RNA was present in erythroid progenitor cells, erythrocytes, macrophages, melano-macrophages and in some additional un-characterized cells in kidney. These results show that PRV-1 establishes a productive, persistent infection in Atlantic salmon and that erythrocyte progenitor cells are PRV target cells.
Wetland Roofs as an Attractive Option for Decentralized Water Management and Air Conditioning Enhancement in Growing Cities—A Review

Published: September 2019

While constructed wetlands have become established for the decentralized treatment of wastewater and rainwater, wetland roofs have only been built in isolated cases up to now. The historical development of wetland roofs is described here on the basis of a survey of literature and patents, and the increasing interest in this ecotechnology around the world is presented. In particular, this article describes the potential for using wetland roofs and examines experience with applications in decentralized water management in urban environments and for climate regulation in buildings. Wetland roofs are suitable as a green-blue technology for the future—particularly in cities with an acute shortage of unoccupied ground-level sites—for the decentralized treatment of wastewater streams of various origins. Positive “side effects” such as nearly complete stormwater retention and the improvement of climates in buildings and their surroundings, coupled with an increase in biodiversity, make wetland roofs an ideal multi-functional technology for urban areas.
Measuring Streambank Erosion: A Comparison of Erosion Pins, Total Station, and Terrestrial Laser Scanner
Authors: Myers Daniel T. , Rediske Richard R. , McNair James N.
Published: September 2019

Streambank erosion is difficult to quantify; models and field methods are needed to assess this important sediment source to streams. Our objectives were to (1) evaluate and compare three techniques for quantifying streambank erosion: erosion pins, total station, and laser scanning, (2) spatially assess streambank erosion rates in the Indian Mill Creek watershed of Michigan, USA, and (3) relate results with modeling of nonpoint source pollution. We found large absolute and relative errors between the different measurement techniques. However, we were unable to determine any statistically significant differences between techniques and only observed a correlation between total station and laser scanner. This suggests that the three methods have limited comparability and differences between measurements were largely not systemic. Further, the application of each technique should be dependent on site conditions, project goals, desired resolution, and resources. The laser scanner collected high-resolution data on clear, barren streambanks, but the erosion pin and total station were more representative of complex vegetated banks. Streambank erosion rates varied throughout the watershed and were influenced by fluvial processes. We estimate that streambank erosion contributed 28.5% of the creek’s total sediment load. These findings are important to address sources of watershed impairments related to sedimentation, as choosing an applicable technique for individual purposes can help reduce the challenges and costs of a streambank erosion study.

Published: September 2019

Background: Low health literacy (LHL) is common among patients with chronic diseases. Studies on the association between LHL and uncontrolled blood pressure are limited to primary and tertiary levels of healthcare. Objective: We evaluated the prevalence and association between LHL and uncontrolled blood pressure in hypertensive patients in a secondary healthcare in Brazil. Material and methods: Our study had a cross-sectional design and included 485 patients, between August/2014 to March/2016. We evaluated health literacy, by Short Assessment of Health Literacy for Portuguese-Speaking Adults (SAHLPA-18), and the blood pressure control. Individuals with a score ≤14 in SAHLPA-18 were considered as LHL, and individuals with blood pressure ≥140/90 (or ≥130/80 in diabetic patients) were considered as having uncontrolled blood pressure. Results: A total of 56.0% female, with mean age 62.0±12.6 years. Illiterate participants were 61.6%, and 65.4% earned up to one reference wage. Both uncontrolled blood pressure and LHL were highly prevalent (75.1% and 70.9%, respectively), but there was no association between these two parameters. In multivariate analysis, uncontrolled blood pressure was associated with age (OR:0.96, CI:0.94-0.98, p<0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR:4.36, CI:2.54-7.51; p<0.001) and number of pills (OR:1.16, CI:1.08-1.25, p<0.001). Conclusion: Even we found a high prevalence of LHL, the lack of association between LHL and uncontrolled blood pressure may be due to demographic characteristics of the sample, i.e., elderly people with low income and low schooling. HL assessment provides important information that supports actions to improve hypertension control and treatment.
A influência do exercício físico na captação de glicose independente de insulina
Authors: Barros Leonardo Soares de Albuquerque , Nunes Camila da Cunha
Published: September 2019

O diabetes melito é uma desordem metabólica de múltipla etiologia, que se caracteriza por hiperglicemia crônica decorrente de defeitos na secreção e/ou ação da insulina e captação reduzida de glicose nos tecidos periféricos, resultando em resistência à insulina. A partir disso, este artigo aborda aspectos fisiopatológicos do diabetes melito tipo 2 (DM2), tendo como objetivo elucidar as vias de sinalização da insulina no tecido muscular esquelético e como a captação de glicose pode ser prejudicada em um indivíduo resistente à insulina, apontando a prática de exercício físico como recurso não farmacológico e/ou terapia adjacente para a melhora da sensibilidade à insulina e captação de glicose no tecido muscular esquelético. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa de revisão da literatura de materiais já publicados sobre o tema e uma análise qualitativa. A sinalização da proteína quinase ativada por adenosina monofosfato (AMPK), mediada pelo exercício físico pode otimizar a captação de glicose no músculo independente de insulina. Assim, o exercício físico serve como recurso não farmacológico e/ou terapia adjacente para restaurar a sensibilidade da via de sinalização receptor de insulina/substrato do receptor de insulina/fosfatidilinositol-3-quinase/Akt e aumento da atividade da proteína quinase ativada de AMP, para translocação e exocitose de transportadores de glicose tipo 4 (GLUT-4) independente de insulina.
Ensino Fundamental municipal em tempo integral
Authors: Nunes Militão Silvio Cesar
Published: September 2019

Na contemporaneidade, cada vez mais, a questão da escola de tempo integral ganha força na agenda política e centralidade no debate educacional brasileiro. Neste artigo, nosso objetivo é mapear e analisar a oferta e movimentação das matrículas de ensino fundamental municipal em tempo integral no Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, nos valemos de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados demonstram que os municípios paulistas vêm aderindo gradativamente à ideia de implantação da escola de tempo integral e que há uma tendência ascendente desse tipo de matrícula na rede pública de ensino fundamental, principalmente no conjunto municipal e no segmento dos anos iniciais. Porém, o atendimento em tempo integral ainda é bastante restrito no território paulista, sobretudo se cotejado com o patamar de matrículas preconizado pelo atual Plano Nacional de Educação.

Authors: Silva Luane Costa da , Silva-Oliveira Gláucia Caroline
Published: September 2019

O presente estudo investigou as principais práticas de professores que atendem estudantes surdos, nas escolas regulares do município de Bragança-Pará, Brasil. O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas: investigação com professores (preenchimento de questionário) e observações in loco. Participou deste estudo 60 professores e 41,6% informaram ter participado de capacitações em Libras, mas a maioria informou não se sentir preparada para trabalhar com estes alunos. A prática docente apresenta-se como um grande desafio, sobretudo em virtude do pouco conhecimento sobre a surdez e de suas implicações educacionais, necessitando voltar a atenção a inclusão da Libras e de metodologias de ensino nas formações continuadas destes professores para promover um ensino de qualidade que leve em conta as diferenças linguísticas e pedagógicas na escola.
Instrumentos e critérios no processo de avaliação em Educação Física escolar

Published: September 2019

Neste artigo tratamos da noção de “erro” no processo avaliativo em educação física no âmbito da escolarização. O objetivo é diferenciar instrumentos e critérios de avaliação utilizados por três professoras-pesquisadoras e um professor-pesquisador de educação física. Para balizar nossa análise, metodologicamente fundamentada em estratégias interpretativas de meta-análise, partimos do pressuposto que o erro é fonte de aprendizagem. Porém, para que se aprenda com o erro é necessário qualificá-lo e, nesse empreendimento, pode-se superar os enganos dos(as) próprios(as) avaliadores(as) educacionais e propositores(as) de políticas públicas ao quantificarem a aprendizagem escolar.
As conquistas militares de Otaviano na numismática:
Authors: Souza de Giacomo Luiz Henrique
Published: September 2019

Otaviano se utilizou de diversos suportes como vetores discursivos no intuito de propagar suas ações na cena pública romana. Com a numismática não foi diferente. O período histórico no qual ele se inseriu viu uma mudança na forma de se utilizar o espaço das moedas como lugares propícios a inscrição, através de uma linguagem simbólica simples, de mensagens diversas, geralmente com cunho cívico/político. Nossa proposta é tomar como análise duas peças numismáticas, uma em comemoração a conquista militar do Egito e outra em homenagem a reconquista da província asiática. E a partir delas demonstrar a preocupação dada por Otaviano a esses objetos como propiciadores da difusão de várias mensagens ao povo, tanto em Roma, como nas províncias – sobretudo no que diz respeito ao seu antigo rival, Marco Antônio – e como espaços de legitimação de seu poder.

Published: September 2019

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo analisar duas obras sobre a história do fascismo, as quais são: A anatomia do fascismo, de Robert Paxton, e Fascistas, de Michael Mann. Através da comparação das interpretações defendidas pelos autores, fez-se importante identificar quais os pontos semelhantes e em quais momentos as obras se diferem. Ao apontar seis aspectos específicos, buscou-se aprofundar nas perspectivas de cada livro, observando as metodologias de pesquisa e as formas pelas quais sustentam suas argumentações. A análise crítica dos textos em questão permitiu a percepção de questões complexas voltadas à compreensão do fascismo, além das diferenças entre perspectivas analíticas de um tema complexo.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar aspectos referentes às vestimentas e às aparências dos habitantes da Vila de Curitiba durante o século XVIII. A dita Vila, em meados dos setecentos, foi marcada por um período de prosperidade econômica. A pecuária e o tropeirismo, principais atividades econômicas da Vila no momento, permitiram o contato da região com importantes centros econômicos da América portuguesa. Devido a essa integração, levantamos a hipótese que o contato com outras localidades possibilitou uma maior circularidade e diversidade de mercadorias. Nesse sentido, pretendemos compreender como aqueles indivíduos se vestiam durante os setecentos e buscamos perceber qual era a importância econômica e simbólica das vestimentas. Para isso, iremos nos apoiar nos inventários post mortem, especificamente nos bens materiais que compunham esses documentos.

O presente artigo pretende abordar os conflitos políticos que aconteciam em Itapemirim, região sul da Província do Espírito Santo, durante a segunda metade do século XIX. Fazendeiros da região ocupavam cargos políticos na Província e mantinham contato com pessoas importantes na Corte. Assim, os partidos locais, Macucos e Arraias, se alinharam respectivamente aos Conservadores e Liberais na segunda metade dos Oitocentos, e seus líderes estavam envolvidos em denúncias sobre tráfico de escravos na Corte. Os conflitos entre o Coronel João Nepomuceno Gomes Bittencourt, líder do partido dos Macucos/Conservadores, e Joaquim Marcelino da Silva Lima, o Barão de Itapemirim, líder dos Arraias/Liberais, repercutiu até na visita do Imperador a Província. Também utilizavam os jornais para discutirem suas ideias.

Getúlio Vargas tomou posse como presidente da república, pela segunda vez, no ano de 1951, assumindo um governo democrático. No entanto, seu novo governo foi marcado por grande instabilidade política, devido à forte oposição por parte da União Democrática Nacional (UDN) e por parte da imprensa. Nesse sentido, a proposta deste trabalho é verificar o poder de atuação da imprensa no campo histórico, destacando sua influência na construção dos acontecimentos políticos. Essa compreensão será feita, aqui, através da análise dos jornais Tribuna da Imprensa e Última Hora, durante a crise apresentada no segundo governo de Getúlio Vargas, buscando entender de que modo os interesses defendidos por eles, influenciaram os rumos políticos naquele momento, que teve o desfecho conturbado, com o suicídio do presidente em 24 de agosto de 1954.

Neste presente artigo, trabalharemos o emprego usado nas vidas do príncipe Visigodo São Hermenegildo, um mártir da Igreja espanhola, tendo em vista sua disputa contra seu pai o rei Leovigildo, por causa de sua rebelião ao atacar o reino Visigodo, em razão de sua defesa a uma vertente contraria do cristianismo Ariano praticado pelo reino, e está presente também como suas vidas de santo foram utilizadas em momentos oportunos com propósitos políticos para conversão de pessoas, reafirmação de fé e usando-a como proposito de escolha correta que levava-se a salvação.
Justus Nelson e os conflitos em torno do casamento civil, envolvendo católicos, metodistas e republicanos, 1890 – 1893
Authors: Gabriel Moraes de Souza João
Published: September 2019

Na época da laicização do Estado, muitos conflitos aconteceram no período inicial da república brasileira. Nesse artigo iremos ver as tensões que o missionário metodista Justus Nelson, se envolveu em Belém do Pará, contra todos os que cruzaram o seu caminho, como a Igreja Católica, os Republicanos e até mesmo outros protestantes como ele, mostrando assim sua habilidade no campo político-religioso. As polêmicas que o famigerado líder metodista esteve envolto, foram as mais variadas possíveis, pois o pastor acabou por debater sobre o casamento civil, as leis do país, assuntos teológicos e inclusive o Círio de Nazaré, razão pela qual ficou alguns meses na prisão.

Amaç: Günümüzde diş çürükleri ve periodontal hastalıklar başta
gelen halk sağlığı problemlerindendir. Çocuğun diş sağlığı davranışlarının
geliştirilmesinde diş hekimine olduğu kadar aileye de görevler düşmektedir.
Çalışmada ilköğretim okullarında (İÖO) eğitim gören öğrencilerin velilerinin
diş sağlığına yönelik bilgi düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı olarak planlanan çalışma, gerekli yasal
izinler sonrası, 01 - 30 Nisan 2014 tarihlerinde Sakarya Arifiye ilçesine bağlı
ilkokullarda okuyan öğrencilerin velileri ile yapıldı. Araştırmacılar
tarafından literatürden yararlanılarak oluşturulan 22 soruluk anket formunun,
çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden toplam 288 veli tarafından doldurulması istendi.
Veriler SPSS 21 istatistik programında analiz edildi, p<0.05 anlamlı kabul
edildi.

Bulgular: Katılımcıların 268’i(%93.0) kadın, 20’si(%7) erkek olup
yaş ortalaması 35.6 ± 8.5 (18-79) yıldı. Görüşülen velilerin 178’i(%61.8)
ilköğretim, 60’ı(%20.8) ortaöğretim, 12’si(%4) önlisans, 38’i(%13.2) lisans
mezunuydu.  Diş fırçalama şekli sorulduğunda;
35’i(%12.1) sağa-sola fırçalama, 68’i(%23.6) yukarı-aşağı fırçalama,
180’i(%62.5) sağ sol, yukarı aşağı ve dairesel fırçalama yöntemleriyle
dişlerini fırçalarken 5’i dişlerini nasıl fırçaladığını bilmiyordu. Diş bakımı
için velilerden 215’i(%74.6) diş fırçası, 33’ü(%11.7) kürdan, 26’sı(%9.0) diş
ipi, 5’i diğer yöntemler kullanırken 9’u hiç diş bakım materyali
kullanmamaktaydı. Velilerin
7’si(%2.4) kendi diş eti sağlığını çok kötü,
37’si(%12.8) kötü, 121’i(%42.0) orta, 78’i(%27.0) iyi, 16’sı(%5.5) çok iyi
olarak tanımlarken; 29’unun(%10.0) kendi diş eti sağlığı hakkında fikri yoktu. Diş eti kanamasının nedenine 108’i(%37.5) bilmiyorum
cevabı verirken; 80’i(%27.7) diş eti çekilmesi, 87’si(%30.2) diş eti
iltihaplanması, 13’ü(%4.5) sağlıklı diş etine bağlı olduğunu ifade etti.  Diş eti plağını 103’ü(%35.7) bilmezken;
109’u(%37.8) diş yüzeyindeki taşlar, 51’i(%17.7) diş yüzeyindeki tabaka,
25’i(%8.6) diş yüzeyindeki renklenme olarak belirtti. Kalıcı dişler ne zaman
çıkar sorusuna; 35’i(%12.1) 3 yaş, 159’si(%55.2) 6 yaş, 52’si(%17.0) 10 yaş,
37’si(%12.8) 12 yaş, 5’i bilmiyorum cevabını verdi. “Diş hekimi kontrolü neden
önemlidir?” sorusuna 57’si(%19.7) erken teşhis, 145’i(%50.3) diş sağlığının
korunması, 66’sı(%22.9) genel sağlığın korunması, 9’u(%3.0) ucuz ve kolay
tedavi nedeni cevabını verirken 11’i konu hakkında fikri olmadığını ifade etti.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, ailelerin diş eti hastalıkları, diş plağı,
kalıcı dişlerin çıkma süresi konularında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadıkları
görüldü. Oral hijyenin bilinmesi, sağlanması ve sürdürülmesi amacıyla
velilerinde eğitim süreçlerine dahil edilmesi ve konuyla ilgili erişkin eğitim
planlamaları ile bilgi düzeylerinin artması gerekliliği düşünülmüştür.

The main aim of our study was to determine the effect of expanded and pelleted feeds, as well as the only pelleted feed based on wheat and corn, on the production of turkeys. In May 2006,, a fattening experiment on turkeys was started on the starter farm of Habar Ltd in Szarvas, owned by the Gallicoop Corporation. 17 day old male turkeys were involved in the fattening experiment. The experiment lasted 117 days. At that time, theanimals were 134 days old. After the experiment was completed, they were slaughtered. The following parameters were examined: growth, feed conversion ratio, carcass traits. Turkey feed were produced separately at different times. Similarly to the standard method of turkey fattening, 8 phases feeding was carried out. The fattening experiment was adjusted on male turkeys in 4×12×6 grouping (4 treatments: expanded and pelleted, and only pelleted corn and wheat feed; 12 repeats: number of pens/treatments; 6 birds/pen) 6-6 turkeys from 12 pens per each treatments were measured individually from the 17th day (starter) and at the time of each following feeding changes and mortality. The average of the group was calculated. The average daily weight gain, proportion of the given feed per pen, feeding changes and mortality were determined. The average daily feed intake and the feed conversion ratio were calculated.
Estimation of Inheritabilities from Holstein-Friesian Test Day Data in Hungary

Recently, test day models (TDM) began to be increasingly used for the genetic evaluation of dairy cattle. The main advantage of the TDM compared with the 305 days lactation yield models is that more effects can be used in the evaluation. Therefore, the TDM is more accurate than the lactation models. The main disadvantage is the increased computational requirement, but this can be offset by improvements in computer capabilities.The topic of this paper is the use of a fix regression test day model to estimate the inheritabilities of test day data from Hungarian Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle. The inheritability was 0.26 for milk production, 0.2 for fat production, 0.24 for protein production and 0.06 for the somatic cell count.
