This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Objectives The socio-cultural learning theory can be divided into a social and cultural process. Learner's learning occurs within the context rather than anticipating and preparing for the future context. It may happen in the workplace through apprenticeship, experiential learning, or community-based learning. Community-based education and community services have always been part of the students' volunteer services at Avalon University School of Medicine. The importance of community-based education has led to its recent integration into the curriculum. The objective of this study is to observe the community services in the field and to record the perceptions of students regarding community-based education at Avalon University School of Medicine.MethodsThis is a qualitative study. The research was conducted in the form of an observational study and framework analysis was done. The community-based education and community services were observed and recorded along with individual interviews. Students from different semesters were selected randomly for the interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed.ResultsAll interviewed students (100%) reported that they are involved in community services. 53.8% of students were not able to recognize the health issues of Curacao. 84.6% of students recognized and acknowledged the local health issues after reminding them of the activities conducted in the community services. 84.6% of students believed community services enhanced their clinical skills and increased their confidence in communication skills.ConclusionCommunity-based education enhances the competency of future physicians in clinical and communication skills.

ABSTRACT: Although, serological studies for leptospirosis in iguanas have already been performed, there is no report in the Amazon region. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the presence of anti-Leptospira sp. in free living Iguanas-verdes (Iguana iguana) of Mangal das Garças Park, metropolitan region of Belém, Pará, Northern region of Brazil. Twenty-nine blood samples of Iguana-verde (I. iguana) were collected from Mangal das Garças Park. For the serological diagnosis of Leptospira sp. it was employed microscopic agglutination test (MAT) with 25 live antigens of Leptospira sp. as antigens. It was observed that all samples were non-reactive, suggesting no exposure to the agent.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to report the epidemiological, clinical, and pathological aspects of a case of rumenitis due to the ingestion of soybean oil in a bovine. The ox had access to barrels that stored soybean oil and ingested an indeterminate amount of the product. After consuming it, the animal presented hiporexia; liquid, brownish, and greasy feces; severe dehydration (12%); apathy; sternal recumbency; and death with a clinical evolution of 4 days. At necropsy, the rumen was filled with voluminous food and moderate amount of white-gray liquid with a greasy appearance. Upon microscopic examination, hydropic degeneration of the epithelium and areas of mucosal necrosis were observed in the rumen and reticulum. From these findings, we concluded that the bovine developed a state of acidosis and acute rumenitis due to excessive intake of lipids.

ABSTRACT: Body composition (total crude protein, lipid, ash, dry matter and moisture) and fatty acid profiles were compared between wild and farmed brown trout and between farmed rainbow trout. Farmed brown trout contained the highest amount of crude protein (18.39%), whereas farmed rainbow trout contained higher levels of crude lipid (2.35%). Thirty six fatty acids were found, including sixteen saturated fatty acids (SFA), nine monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and eleven polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The most abundant SFA in all fish were palmitic acid and stearic acid. However, the most abundant fatty acids in all trout samples were MUFA and PUFA. MUFA were the most abundant fatty acid in farmed brown trout because of high abundance of oleic acid in this samples (35.46g / 100g fatty acids). PUFA were predominating in the samples of wild brown trout and of rainbow trout 56.16 and 56.29g/100g fatty acids, respectively). Linoleic acid was the most abundant fatty acid reported in the rainbow trout (47.17g/100g fatty acids). Significantly higher amounts of docosahexaenoic acid, α-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid were observed in the wild trout samples. Wild brown trout contained significantly more docosahexaenoic acid, α-linolenic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acidArachidonic acid. Sensory quality evaluation, by a consumers’ panel, revealed all samples were equally well accepted.

Conclusion: research in this field is an expanding and promising strategy and serious games represent an alternative means to provide health education to children.
PRIMARY FIBROBLAST CELL CYCLE SYNCHRONIZATION AND EFFECTS ON HANDMADE CLONED (HMC) BOVINE EMBRYOS
Authors: Gómez Natalia Andrea , Ramírez Mónica Marcela , Ruiz-Cortés Zulma Tatiana
Published: September 2018

Abstract Spatial and temporal synchrony and compatibility between the receptor oocyte and the donor cell nucleus are necessary for the process of embryo cloning to allow nuclear reprogramming and early embryonic development. The objective of the present study was to evaluate three cell cycle synchronization methods on a primary bovine fibroblast culture for 24, 48, or 72 h. These fibroblasts were used as nuclear donors to evaluate their in vitro developmental potential and the quality of the embryos produced through handmade cloning (HMC). No differences were found between the methods used for fibroblast synchronization in G0/G1 (p > 0.05). Production of clones from fibroblasts in four groups- no treatment at 0 h and using serum restriction SR, high culture confluence HCC, and SR+HCC at 24 h- resulted in high cleavage rates that were not different. Embryo production rates were 37.9%, 29.5%, and 30.9% in the 0h, SR24h, and SR+HHC24h groups, respectively, and 19.3% in the HCC group, which was significantly different from the other three (p < 0.05). There were no differences in the quality parameter among the clones produced with fibroblasts subjected to the different synchronization. Finally, when overall clone production was compared versus parthenotes and IVF embryos, the only difference was between clones and parthenogenetic embryos with zona pellucida (30.2% vs 38.6%). The number of blastomeres from the blastocytes produced through IVF was significantly greater than those from embryos activated parthenogenetically and from clones (117, 80, 75.9, and 67.1, respectively). The evaluation of three synchronization methods at different time points did not demonstrate an increase in the percentage of fibroblasts in the G0/G1 phases of the cell cycle; however, good quality and high cloning rates were obtained, suggesting that it is not always necessary to subject the cells to any synchronization treatments, as they would yield equally good cloning results.

Authors: Milani Juliana , Pereira Estefânia Maria Soares , Barbosa Maria Helena , Barichello Elizabeth
Published: September 2018

Resumo Objetivo Comparar os resultados da antropometria e avaliação subjetiva nutricional aplicadas ao paciente oncológico. Métodos Estudo transversal com pacientes em tratamento de quimioterapia entre março e junho de 2017. Os instrumentos aplicados foram a antropometria (Índice de Massa Corporal, percentual de gordura corporal, massa muscular e edema) e a Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Próprio Paciente. Os dados foram digitados no programa Microsoft Excel®. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas no programa SPSS® 21.0. Realizaram-se medidas de tendência central (média e desvio-padrão), frequência absoluta e percentual. As análises ocorreram por meio do Teste t e Correlação de Pearson, adotando-se um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados Dentre os 99 participantes, 60,6% apresentaram eutrofia, segundo o Índice de Massa Corporal, 24,2% com depleção de gordura, 51,5% com depleção muscular grave ou moderada e 87,9% com edema. A categorização da Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Próprio Paciente foi de 31,3% participantes bem nutridos, 37,4% desnutridos moderadamente e 31,3% desnutridos graves. Houve incompatibilidade do diagnóstico nutricional proveniente do Índice de Massa Corporal e Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Próprio Paciente, em decorrência da alta frequência de edema nos participantes. Conclusão Os resultados apontaram que o Índice de Massa Corporal não deve ser considerado um indicador único de avaliação do paciente oncológico, necessitando-se de avaliação antropométrica completa associada à Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Próprio Paciente.

Published: September 2018

Resumo Objetivo Explorar e compreender as experiências sexuais de gestantes durante a gravidez. Métodos O estudo foi realizado em dois centros de saúde no Distrito Sanitário de Almería, sul da Espanha. Os participantes incluíram gestantes que receberam atendimento pré-natal e/ou educação para maternidade. Os critérios de inclusão foram estar grávida, manter atividade sexual e concordar em participar do estudo. Os critérios de exclusão foram ter limitações na atividade sexual por prescrição médica. A amostra foi composta por 15 gestantes selecionadas por meio de amostra de conveniência, das quais cinco participaram de grupo focal (GF) e 10 de entrevistas em profundidade (EP). Os dados foram coletados entre os meses de junho e dezembro de 2016. Os participantes foram contatados pelo pesquisador principal e foi realizada uma consulta para conduzir o GF ou EP. Resultados Três categorias principais emergiram: Falsas crenças e uma abordagem holística da sexualidade durante a gravidez, que está relacionada ao conceito de sexualidade, falsas crenças e aconselhamento sexual limitado durante a gravidez. Limitações: Do medo no início à dificuldade física no final, referindo-se às flutuações no desejo sexual, bem como às mudanças físicas que limitam a atividade sexual. Adaptação às mudanças: práticas seguras e satisfação com a imagem corporal, que engloba preocupações com os riscos e a relação entre imagem corporal e autoestima. Conclusão A falta de aconselhamento sexual durante a gravidez leva à criação de falsas crenças, que, juntamente com mudanças físicas, preocupações com o risco e flutuações no desejo e interesse sexual, provocam uma diminuição na atividade sexual. Mas a sexualidade permanece um aspecto importante da gravidez, em relação ao qual os participantes devem adotar uma abordagem mais ampla e não limitada ao ato sexual, além de adotar práticas adaptadas às mudanças físicas e emocionais que ocorrem durante esse período.

Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT: Weed control using herbicides with the same mechanism of action can encourage the emergence of resistant biotypes or tolerant plants. An example of this is the occurrence of morning-glory (Ipomoea sp.) in soybean crops in southern Brazil. In this sense, the aim of this study was to quantify the losses arising from two species of morning-glory weeding coexisting with soybean crop. A field study was conducted in the 2013/2014 season. The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications, with treatments being distributed in a factorial arrangement (2x2x5), which assessed the effect of competition on two soybean cultivars (TEC6029 and TEC7849) of morning-glory species (I. triloba and I. purpurea) in different population (0, 4, 8, 16 and 32 plants m-2). The interaction of soybean with different densities of morning-glory affects yield components. The first eight morning glory plants have a more intense competition, reducing productivity by 45% and 27% for TEC6029 and TEC7849 cultivars, respectively.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of different weed management through a burndown application followed by sequential applications of herbicides to control Conyza spp. Thus, four field experiments were conducted, two in the western region of Paraná state (E1 and E2), one in Jataí, Goiás state (E3) and another one in Ibirubá, Rio Grande do Sul state (E4). Conyza spp. in this area had a height ranging between 25 and 60 cm. Treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. The primary herbicide treatments were 2,4-D + glyphosate + diclosulam, chlorimuron-ethyl + glyphosate + 2,4-D, and four doses of diclosulam + halauxifen-methyl + glyphosate. These treatments were applied singly or in sequential applications, made 10 days before the application of ammonium glufosinate, paraquat or saflufenacil. In all experiments, results showed efficient (90%) control of treatments containing diclosulam + halauxifen-methyl in combination with glyphosate on day 35 DAA, regardless of sequential applications. Applications of 2,4-D + glyphosate + diclosulam or chlorimuron-ethyl + glyphosate + 2,4-D were not effective against Conyza spp. at E1 and E2 locations, possibly due to the greater weed size (50 to 60 cm) at these sites. However, the same treatments were effective at E3 and E4 locations, where weeds were smaller. Diclosulam + halauxifen-methyl + glyphosate associated with ammonium glufosinate, paraquat or saflufenacil in sequential applications, proved to be an important tool to manage Conyza spp. at different growth stages.
Sociologia e ciências sociais em tempos de austeridade
Authors: Lebaron Frédéric
Published: September 2018

Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar a importância da sociologia para a análise das políticas de austeridade em tempos de crises políticas e sociais. Tomando como base a Europa nos anos 2000, mostra-se que as políticas de austeridade fiscal são um objeto científico complexo que deve ser analisado do ponto de vista sociológico e não somente econômico. Lebaron analisa a austeridade como uma crença econômica e como um discurso performativo, mostrando que as representações econômicas - das mais teóricas às mais práticas - desempenham um papel crucial na construção e reprodução da ordem social. São essas representações econômicas que estruturaram as instituições e crenças coletivas nos países europeus principalmente a partir dos anos de 1970 e 1980, período de expansão do neoliberalismo e da financerização. O autor apresenta em seguida os mecanismos e atores da austeridade: os Estados europeus (eurocracias); as instituições e os agentes individuais nesse campo. Em um terceiro ponto, Lebaron critica a noção de “austeridade expansionista” e mostra como o capitalismo financeiro tem tomado cada vez mais o controle de nossas sociedades. Por fim, Lebaron analisa os efeitos sociais da austeridade fiscal com base na ideia de “dinâmica complexa do bem-estar”. O autor defende a importância de que sejam criados modelos alternativos que considerem a multidimensionalidade do bem-estar em nossas sociedades.

RESUMEN Este artículo estudia el funcionamiento de internados de niños y niñas en el territorio de la Araucanía administrado por misioneros capuchinos, entre 1900 y 1935, periodo en el cual se consolidó la política reduccional del pueblo mapuche ejercida desde el Estado de Chile. El método fue cualitativo-descriptivo con un diseño historiográfico, el cual a partir de la triangulación metodológica permitió encontrar las siguientes categorías: choque cultural chilenización/evangelización/mundo mapuche en el internado, infancia mapuche encerrada según género, infancia mapuche reglamentada: formalización de rutinas, visitas controladas internados por parte de familias, justificación ideológica/presencia del internado; pérdida del mapuzungun y, agentes de la vigilancia y el control. Los resultados pueden contribuir a promover el interés por estudiar un campo inexplorado por la investigación educativa en América Latina: rol pedagógico de los internados en contextos de relaciones interétnicas.
O recenseamento escolar de 1920 na imprensa paulista: uma campanha cívica de combate ao analfabetismo
Authors: Mathieson Louisa Campbell
Published: September 2018

Resumo A primeira medida tomada por Sampaio Doria quando assumiu a Direção Geral de Instrução Pública de São Paulo, em 1920, foi promover o recenseamento escolar das crianças entre 6 e 12 anos, com o objetivo de saber quantas crianças eram analfabetas, onde elas moravam e quais as condições da região em que moravam. Tomando o recenseamento escolar de 1920 como objeto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o papel que a imprensa paulista desempenhou ao promover uma campanha cívica do recenseamento, interferindo na produção do fato. Analisa-se o modo como a imprensa divulgou o recenseamento entre junho e setembro, entendendo-a como sujeito da história, que agenda, seleciona, registra e comenta assuntos da esfera pública. Tem-se a hipótese de que o efeito social promovido pela cobertura da imprensa auxiliou a alavancar a Reforma de 1920, ao agendar o analfabetismo e inflar sua visibilidade. Constituem o corpus documental deste artigo publicações nos jornais Correio Paulistano, O Estado de S. Paulo e Jornal do Commercio. Para análise dos documentos, utiliza-se como referencial teórico-metodológico a teoria do agendamento, segundo a qual o efeito mais decisivo que os meios de comunicação geram no debate é a própria pauta. Conclui-se que a divulgação do recenseamento escolar pela imprensa amplificou a denúncia do analfabetismo. Ao acompanhar a ação governamental do recenseamento escolar, a imprensa agendou o tema do analfabetismo, alardeando-o com imagens, em concordância com as atividades executadas pelo governo.

Published: September 2018

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly aggressive tumor, often difficult to diagnose and treat. Aspartate β-hydroxylase (ASPH) is a type II transmembrane protein and the member of α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family, found to be overexpressed in different cancer types, including PC. ASPH appears to be involved in the regulation of proliferation, invasion and metastasis of PC cells through multiple signaling pathways, suggesting its role as a tumor biomarker and therapeutic target. In this review, we briefly summarize the possible mechanisms of action of ASPH in PC and recent progress in the therapeutic approaches targeting ASPH.

The method for the multicomponent photoionization modelling (MPhM) of low-metallicity H II regions surrounding the starburst region was developed. The internal structure of the H II region has been determined using the evolutionary modelling of the superwind bubble surrounding the star-forming region. Models of Chevalier and Clegg (1985) and Weaver et al. (1977) have been used to determine the radial distribution of the gas density, the velocity of gas layers, and the temperature within internal components (the region of the superwind free expansion and the cavity, respectively). The chemical abundances in region of the superwind free expansion were obtained from the evolutionary population synthesis with including of rotating stars. The chemical abundances within cavity were defined by averaging over mass the chemical compositions of mixture of the abundances of gas from superwind and ones within outer component, because of gas evaporation from external component into the cavity. External components of our models describe a high-density, thin shell of gas formed by superwind shock and a typical undisturbed hydrodynamically H II region, respectively. Evolutionary grids of multicomponent low-metallicity models are calculated. A comparative analysis of the results of their calculation with the observed data has been carried out. The ionic abundances averaged over modelling volume as well as chemical composition assumed in models were used to derive the new expressions for ionization-correction factors that were used to redetermine the chemical compositions of 88 H II regions in blue compact dwarf galaxies. It must be noticed that we used for this propose the ionic abundances obtained by Izotov et al. (2007). In result the primordial helium abundance and its enrichment during stellar chemical evolution of matter were determined.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Maliuk A. A. , Zinchenko I. A. ,   Main Astronomical Observatory of the NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: September 2018

We determined oxygen abundances for the sample of SDSS galaxies with high masses using R3D, S3D, R2D, S2D, N and O3N2 calibrations. We investigated redshift–metallicity relation for oxygen abundances obtained by each calibration. We found that for galaxies with high stellar masses oxygen abundance obtained using all calibrations is increasing on the time interval from z = 0.5 to z = 0. However, the values of oxygen abundance enrichment rate significantly depend on adopted calibration and ranges from ~0.1 dex per unit redshift for R calibration to ~0.5 dex per unit redshift for O3N2 calibration.
PÓS-POSITIVISMO JURÍDICO E NORMA JURÍDICA: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE A LEGITIMAÇÃO JUDICIAL NO PROCESSO CONSTRUTIVO DO DIREITO
Authors: Gaia Fausto Siqueira
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo propõe analisar os aspectos relativos à legitimação judicial no processo de construção da norma jurídica diante do caso concreto, no paradigma do pós-positivismo jurídico. O processo de criação da norma jurídica em abstrato pertence, no sistema de separação dos poderes, ao Poder Legislativo, composto por membros eleitos diretamente pelo povo. O Poder Judiciário, enquanto um dos poderes da República, é composto por membros não eleitos pelo povo, o que permite a discussão acerca da legitimação judicial das decisões que criam a norma jurídica aplicável ao caso concreto. Nesse sentido, apresenta-se o presente artigo científico que buscará investigar os requisitos necessários para a validação da atividade criativa do direito pelos órgãos do Poder Judiciário diante do caso concreto, à luz da teoria estruturante da norma desenvolvida por Friedrich Müller.
Portraying Blindness: Nineteenth-Century Images of Tactile Reading
Authors: Tilley Heather
Published: September 2018

In this article, I examine images of blind people in nineteenth-century Europe and America, and question the ways in which shifting sensory hierarchies constituted the representation of blindness in this period. I focus particularly on images of blind people reading by touch, an activity that became a public symbol of the various initiatives and advancements in education and training that were celebrated by both blind and sighted spokespeople. My discussion is structured around institutionally- and individually-commissioned portraits and I distinguish between the different agendas shaping representations of blind people. These include instances where blind people's achievements are problematically displayed for sighted benefactors; as well as examples of blind people determining the compositional form and modes of circulation of their likenesses thus altering "key directions in figurative possibilities" (Snyder 173). Moreover, the portraits I consider demonstrate the multisensory status of images, alerting us to a nineteenth-century aesthetic that was shaped by touch as well as vision. I draw on sensory culture theory to argue that attending to the experience and representation of the haptic in the circulation of visual images of blind people signals a participatory beholding, via which blindness is creatively – rather than critically – engaged.
Impact Studies of Regional Effects of Research Infrastructures: Economically Concentrated or Multidimensional : Approach of a Holistic Evaluation Model
Authors: Schenk Fabian
Published: September 2018

This article shows the current focus of impact studies of regional effects of research infrastructures in German. A literature review clarifies whether these studies concentrate on economic effects or assume a multi-dimensional perspective. Furthermore, it will determine where there is still a need for research in the evaluation of infrastructures and which effects are still of interest to the regional impact of a research institute. Based on this analysis, a first approach to the multidimensional evaluation of research infrastructures is presented. The evaluation investigates not only economic effects of research infrastructures, but also new knowledge effects (e.g. project innovation type), political effects (regionality of projects), and cultural effects (e.g. anchoring in the cultural memory). The general objective is to highlight the positive impact of a research infrastructure on the region (the associated federal state) and to expand the examined aspects of previous studies.

Background: Stunting or low height-for-age is failure to reach linear growth potential, and is a key indicator of chronic under nutrition. The objectives of the study were to assess the status of stunting among children attending outpatient department and to evaluate the demographic profile of such children.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study conducted over a period 6 months from August 2015 to January 2016 among children within age group of 2 to 12 years attending outpatient department of GB Pant Hospital, Port Blair. Height-for-age z-scores (HFAz) was generated using the WHO Anthro software (version 3.2.2).Results: Overall 444 students’ were included in the study which included 213 male children (48%) and 231 female children (52.0%). Out of this 21.70% children were stunted and 6.3% children were severely stunted. Among the socio demographic factors shunting and severe stunting is seen among lower/upper lower class (82.14%) followed by middle/lower middle class.Conclusions: Collective effort by government, non-government organizations is required to plan long term and short term strategies addressing the risk factors.
A Present and a Non-Present Body—Experiencing the Body by Female Sex Workers in Commercial Sexual Relations
Authors: Ślęzak Izabela
Published: September 2018

Making women’s bodies accessible to men in the commercial context is related to specific ways of experiencing it. The purpose of the article is to discuss the category of a non-present, selectively present, and present body, which refers to ways in which female sex workers experience their bodies during commercial sex acts. There will also be conditions listed that correspond to the occurrence of each of these categories. The article is based on qualitative data (mainly unstructured interviews), which were analyzed in accordance with the procedures of grounded theory methodology.
Sociology of the Body—Teaching Embodied Approach through Autoethnography
Authors: Byczkowska-Owczarek Dominika , Jakubowska Honorata
Published: September 2018

The article presents and discusses the way of teaching sociology of the body whose aim is to allow students to become familiar with embodied methodology and make them methodologically sensitive. The research tasks given to the students are based on analytic autoethnography which influences the students’ methodological development. Examples of the students’ works are presented and discussed, particularly in terms of the advantages they might bring in the educational proces and difficulties that they may cause to both the student and the teacher. As the most valuable benefits deriving from this way of teaching the authors indicate: raising methodological sensitivity, the ability to link embodied experience and knowledge with theoretical concepts, self-understanding in terms of social processes, but also putting into practice the perspective of embodiment in the social sciences. The courses of the sociology of the body in Poland and their status at Polish universities are presented as the context. The authors claim that the skills learnt during this course are crucial for students of sociology and for their methodological competencies, not only in the field of sociology of the body.
The Multi-Dimensional Influence of a Sports Activity on the Process of Psycho-Social Rehabilitation and the Improvement in the Quality of Life of Persons with Physical Disabilities
Authors: Niedbalski Jakub
Published: September 2018

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to analyze the role that sport plays in the lives of persons with physical disabilities within the process of rehabilitation and the improvement of their quality of life.Background: The article raises the notions of changes that take place in the life of a physically handicapped person which is due to their engagement in a sports activity. In the article, I refer to the subjective perspective of those researched, rendering their own point of view into the major subject of analysis.Methods: Qualitative data are exploited in the research, collected through a technique of unstructured interviews and undisguised observations conducted among the disabled practicing sports.Findings: The role of sport practiced by the disabled has been determined within several contexts, which were distinguished within the course of the research as analytical categories.Conclusion: On the basis of the research it was found that getting involved in a sports activity is significant within the process of experiencing life satisfaction, personal development and the reconstruction of the ego, self-identity, and transformations in the manner of perceiving both themselves and others. Therefore, a sports activity of a disabled person supports the rehabilitation process effectively.

Payment for Environmental Services, fishers and cetaceans’ conservation
Authors: Souza Shirley Pacheco de
Published: September 2018

The interactions between fisheries and cetaceans have been widely discussed by several authors. Bycatch of small cetaceans is frequent around the world, threatening several species. In Brazil, in two critical areas– Soure(Marajó Island) and São Sebastião - more than 70% of the local fishers (n= 40 and n=70, respectively) interviewed in a previous study reported bycatch of Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) or Franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) in gillnets. Other negative interaction involving fisheries and cetaceans is the entanglement of Southern right whales in fishing nets during their migration along the coast, as reported by 68% of the fishers interviewed in the South of Brazil (Pântano do Sul: n=25). On the other hand these interactions result in damage of the fishing gear and great economic losses to the fishers. To minimize these conflicts we suggest the adoption of strategies involving interested fishers in bycatch monitoring programs, where fishers could collect local data on the critical areas and frequency of dolphins’ accidental catches, consequently increasing their awareness of the problem and providing a better baseline to support educational and regulatory measures related to cetaceans’ bycatch. As a compensation for the time and energy spent in these programs, fishers could receive a “payment for environmental services” (PES), as an economic incentive to their participation, which would contribute to their economic stability as well as to cetaceans’ conservation.

A Revista Labor & Engenho chega ao seu oitavo ano (quinto com periodicidade trimestral) apresentando aos leitores uma atualização do seu layout — que permanece o mesmo, porém com o design levemente modificado a fim de otimizar o corpo do texto e ressaltar no cabeçalho o nome por extenso e a sigla [L&E] da Revista. Também o design das bandeiras correspondentes às diferentes nacionalidades representadas por cada autor da Revista receberam um toque especial a fim de promover um certo destaque. As modificações, embora sutis, contribuem para a consolidação do caráter internacional da Revista Labor & Engenho [ISSN: 2176-8846]. O número 1 do volume 8 (2014) traz 7 artigos: 4 de autores brasileiros (dentre os quais, 3 em português, 1 em inglês); 2 de autores argentinos (em espanhol); e 1 de autor mexicano (em espanhol). Dentre os artigos brasileiros encontram-se representantes de instituições dos estados de São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, e Rio Grande do Sul. Os artigos argentinos, assim como o artigo mexicano, apresentam aspectos regionais distintos que contribuem para a consolidação da Revista L&E como uma publicação relevante para quem quer que se interesse pelos temas de Trabalho [Labor] & Genialidade [Engenho], Patrimônio & Desenvolvimento Regional, ou Paisagem & Engenharia, ou ainda, Ordenamento Territorial & Sustentabilidade. O primeiro artigo deste número trata das relações existentes entre os meios urbano e rural, a partir de uma análise sobre os padrões de consumo, comportamento e tipo de ocupação no interior de Minas Gerais. O estudo realizado permitiu inferir sobre a necessidade de se incrementar pesquisas sobre o meio rural e as pequenas cidades no Brasil, a fim de conhecer melhor esses espaços e o sistema urbano brasileiro (SOARES; SIOLARI; DIAS, 2014). E já que estamos focados na paisagem rural de Minas Gerais, então a leitura do próximo artigo mostra-se pertinente e instigante. Apresenta-se uma revisão metodológica para a seleção de áreas e restauração ecológica de matas ciliares em sitios agrícolas, uma questão ambiental de fundamental importância para quem quer que se ocupe do planejamento da paisagem e da gestão integrada de bacias hidrográficas visando o desenvolvimento regional a partir de processos ecologicamente equilibrados. O município de Bueno Brandão [Minas Gerais] constitui cenário para o estudo de caso apresentado (BOULOMYTIS; CHRISTOFIDIS, 2014). Do Brasil seguiremos para o México a fim de conhecer a antiga estação de tratamento de água da empresa Hidros em Tampico [Tamaulipas], um belo exemplo de patrimônio industrial situado numa área Natural protegida: “la laguna de la Vega Escondida” (CHECA-ARTASU, 2014).
