Authors: Gutfreind Cristiane Freitas , Valles Rafael
Published: December 2016

Este artigo pretende fazer uma reflexão sobre a obra do realizador espanhol José Luis Guerín, procurando entender como a questão da memória se insere na construção narrativa dos seus filmes. Através de uma análise fílmica, este artigo parte do pressuposto de que a sua obra não é somente uma fonte importante para a compreensão da construção da memória, mas também um meio para identificar a importância que as imagens assumem neste processo.
“O que você faz para ser feliz?”: reflexões sobre a felicidade e a memória no discurso publicitário
Authors: Gomes Victor Márcio Laus Reis , Andreoni Renata
Published: December 2016

Este trabalho apresenta um olhar reflexivo sobre o discurso publicitário. Mais especificamente, são explorados os sentidos construídos em torno da felicidade e o lugar da memória no discurso de uma campanha veiculada pela rede de supermercados Pão de Açúcar em 2013. A reflexão é conduzida através da Análise de Discurso, de acordo com os pressupostos de Patrick Charaudeau, e indica que os discursos publicitários podem ter relações com uma base de memórias sociais que despertam cadeias de identificações nos sujeitos consumidores. O estudo ainda explora possibilidades de compreensão de perspectivas conceituais da memória associadas aos processos de comunicação.
Por uma política de rememoração: a potência histórica no cinema de experiência pessoal
Authors: Veiga Roberta Oliveira
Published: December 2016

Resumo: Pode o cinema de experiência pessoal cifrar a experiência coletiva? Movida por essa questão, propomos apontar as potências históricas e subjetivas do cinema de escrita de si, a partir das estratégias de evocação, constituição e figuração da memória. Um pequeno inventário de cineastas de referência e filmes brasileiros será traçado no sentido de investigar como, através de seus métodos, esse modo de escritura pode resistir à espetacularização do eu, e se abrir para experimentação de si através de uma tessitura temporal na qual a memória é tomada em sua relação inventiva com o esquecimento, e a história concebida em suas formas fluídas.
A imprensa dos subúrbio (1900-1920)
Authors: Matheus Leticia Cantarela
Published: December 2016

Apresenta um debate sobre uma pesquisa em andamento sobre como o jornalismo contribuiu para a elaboração de um conceito carioca de subúrbio e como essas regiões foram narradas entre os anos 1900 e 1920 tanto na chamada imprensa suburbana quanto nas colunas dos periódicos de grande circulação que eram dedicadas a notícias sobre aquele espaço social específico. Uma hipótese é que houve disputas em torno das idealizações sobre esses bairros e que algumas delas acabaram por legitimar um processo de permanente produção da diferença, não apenas simbólica, mas efetivamente de investimentos públicos. A pesquisa pretende compreender como os jornais servem como ferramenta para elaboração de uma imaginação histórica sobre a cidade, reforçando ou contestando mecanismos de diferenciação e hierarquização dos espaços.

Published: December 2016

Seguindo o projeto benjaminiano, este artigo busca romper com a representação histórica que aprisiona os sentidos dos arquivos. Olharemos as obras de artistas contemporâneos que se apropriam de documentos fotográficos para discutir sua veracidade. Expressões artísticas que falam, justamente, da dupla vigência da fotografia - meio que cria aparências em busca de uma verdade histórica permanente e comum, ao passo que denota uma existência múltipla e efêmera, efeito das irregularidades que, no presente, legitimam o que é representado como fato verídico ou não. Com isso, esta análise trata da produção de sentido diante das imagens e da maneira pela qual o discurso histórico da fotografia passou a funcionar como “signo” de uma verdade.
O trabalho publicitário: uma jam session. Improviso na criação e cotidiano com poucas variações
Authors: Carrascoza João Anzanello
Published: December 2016

O trabalho publicitário vem vivendo transformações desde o advento da informática, e, mais ainda, com as possibilidades criativas que se acenam no universo online. Como tem sido a rotina das novas gerações de white collars, nativas ou não no universo digital, o seu processo criativo ante as multi-plataformas, o habitus desse campo profissional (entre artístico e científico), é o objetivo de nossa investigação neste texto. Para isso, em consonância com a pesquisa que desenvolvemos atualmente, discutindo o consumo e a poética da publicidade por meio de textos literários, vamos fazer aqui um estudo a partir do conto A soneca de Gretchen, de F. Scott Fitzgerald . Teorias sobre o processo criativo em geral e elementos da gestão corporativa serão mobilizados nesse percurso.

¿Es hora de usar indicadores refinados para estudiar la fecundidad en América Latina?
Authors: Cabella Wanda , Pardo Ignacio
Published: December 2016

El artículo discute la pertinencia de los llamados indicadores refinados de fecundidad para evaluar el nivel de la fecundidad en los países de América Latina. La principal ventaja de estos indicadores es su capacidad de identificar cuánto del cambio en la tasa global de fecundidad se debe a cambios en la intensidad y cuánto a cambios en el calendario. Los países de muy baja fecundidad están culminando un proceso de postergación de la maternidad que solo pudo ser descrito adecuadamente una vez que surgieron estos indicadores. A pesar de que en América Latina hay indicios de que en algunos países se comienza a procesar la postergación de la fecundidad, es aún muy limitada la capacidad de elaborar indicadores refinados y no abunda la discusión sobre sus virtudes, desventajas y potencialidades. Con la intención de sistematizar la acumulación al respecto y fomentar el debate, en este artículo se presentan las principales características de estas medidas y se discute cuáles indicadores serían los más adecuados para evaluar las tendencias de la fecundidad en la región y cómo podrían difundirse de modo de evitar equívocos en su interpretación. Nuestra principal conclusión es que a corto plazo resulta más urgente contar con indicadores de intensidad y calendario por orden de nacimiento que apelar a medidas sintéticas refinadas.
Bolsa Família e assimetrias de gênero: reforço ou mitigação?
Authors: De Souza Luana Passos , Waltenberg Fábio Domingues
Published: December 2016

Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar se o programa Bolsa Família contribui para o processo de individualização das mulheres pobres. Para tanto, foi utilizada a técnica de pareamento por escore de propensão, a fim de identificar mulheres e homens não atendidos pelo programa comparáveis a mulheres e homens atendidos. Com base na Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio de 2006, estimaram-se a jornada de trabalho doméstico, a participação no mercado de trabalho e as horas de trabalho remunerado de homens e mulheres. Os resultados não foram conclusivos para participação no mercado de trabalho. Para a jornada de trabalho remunerado, há indícios de que o Programa Bolsa Família reduza as horas trabalhadas de homens e mulheres. Para a jornada de trabalho doméstico, há indicativos de aumento de tempo de cuidado doméstico para mulheres e redução para homens. Os resultados da pesquisa sugerem que o programa reforçaria papéis tradicionais de gênero, não contribuindo para a individualização das mulheres pobres.
Transformações e tendências do mercado de trabalho no Brasil entre 2001 e 2015: paradoxo do baixo desemprego?
Authors: Simões Pedro Henrique de Castro , Alves José Eustáquio Diniz , Silva Pedro Luis do Nascimento
Published: December 2016

A economia brasileira, favorecida pelos superciclo das commodities, teve uma década de crescimento e relativa estabilidade macroeconômica, em que o mercado de trabalho apresentou um desempenho bastante favorável. Contudo, houve uma desaceleração do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB), seguida de forte recessão em 2015 e 2016. Houve uma defasagem grande entre o início da desaceleração da economia e seus primeiros efeitos sobre o mercado de trabalho, o chamado paradoxo do baixo desemprego. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar tal fenômeno, utilizando as duas principais pesquisas que abordam o tema emprego no âmbito do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística: a Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios e a Pesquisa Mensal de Emprego. Recorrendo à metodologia de decomposições da variação da taxa de desocupação,  constatou-se que a parcela mais expressiva tanto da redução anterior da taxa de desocupação, quanto do seu aumento atual, ocorreu nas metrópoles, e que grande parte de seu comportamento pode ser explicado pela redução da participação dos mais jovens, das pessoas menos instruídas e pela redução no ritmo de inserção das mulheres no mercado de trabalho. O perfil etário da desocupação no país tornou-se mais jovem, o que traz preocupações quanto à emergência de uma “geração perdida”.
Um estudo sobre os aspectos da dinâmica migratória internacional entre a microrregião de Governador Valadares e os Estados Unidos, 2000-2010
Authors: De Sousa Leonardo Gomes , Fazito Dimitri
Published: December 2016

A microrregião de Governador Valadares (MGV) é a mais representativa no cenário da emigração internacional de brasileiros para os Estados Unidos. Entretanto, na década de 2000, ocorreram situações na origem e no destino que economicamente poderiam provocar uma diminuição ou estancamento do fluxo de migrantes. Esse artigo procura analisar a hipótese de que, mesmo num cenário aparentemente adverso, a migração continuou a ocorrer na região com força considerável durante a década de 2000. Para tanto, buscou-se compreender como foi estabelecida, na MGV, a situação da emigração para os Estados Unidos e sua aderência explicativa junto às teorias sobre migrações, bem como realizar uma verificação objetiva dos volumes e fluxos de migrantes contidos neste sistema migratório. Observou-se então que, entre 2000 e 2010, o sistema de migração estruturado pelas redes sociais pessoais e demais mecanismos de perpetuação existentes na região exerceram uma força responsável pela preservação de um fluxo considerável durante esse período.

Authors: Segura Cardona Angela , Garzón Duque Maria , Cardona Arango Doris , Segura Cardona Alejandra
Published: December 2016

En este artículo, se buscó conocer la prevalencia de riesgo de deterioro cognitivo y su relación con factores demográficos, sociales y funcionales en las personas mayores de las subregiones de Antioquia, Colombia. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, transversal analítico, con fuente de información primaria. La muestra fue probabilística y se determinó el riesgo de deterioro cognitivo con la escala minimental. Así se encontró que el 83,1% de los mayores presenta algún riesgo de deterioro cognitivo, principalmente las mujeres, y está asociado significativamente con vivir en la subregión del Magdalena Medio y Medellín, tener mayor edad, no tener pareja, no tener escolaridad, tener escasos recursos sociales, no participar en grupos comunitarios, tener mala percepción de la calidad de vida, estar insatisfecho con la salud y tener dependencia funcional para realizar las actividades básicas. Estos resultados permiten orientar los programas de salud pública relacionados con la inclusión de las personas mayores hacia programas educativos, la participación en grupos comunitarios, la tamización constante en los servicios de salud, el fortalecimiento de los recursos sociales y el fomento de la actividad física en la vejez, para lograr un envejecimiento saludable con mejor calidad de vida.
Estimating age- and sex-specific mortality rates for small areas with TOPALS regression: an application to Brazil in 2010
Authors: Gonzaga Marcos Roberto , Schmertmann Carl Paul
Published: December 2016

High variability in recorded vital events creates serious problems for small-area mortality estimation by age and sex. Many existing approaches to fitting local mortality schedules, including those most often used in Brazil, estimate rates by making rigid mathematical assumptions about local age patterns. Such methods assume that all areas within a larger area (for example, microregions within a mesoregion) have identically-shaped log mortality schedules by age. We propose a more flexible statistical estimation method that combines Poisson regression with the TOPALS relational model (DE BEER, 2012). We use the new method to estimate age-specific mortality rates in Brazilian small areas (states, mesoregions, microregions, and municipalities) in 2010. Results for Minas Gerais show notable differences in the age patterns of mortality between adjacent small areas, demonstrating the advantages of using a flexible functional form in regression models.
Análise de paradados do Censo Demográfico 2010: uma investigação de fatores associados a erros não amostrais do levantamento de dados
Authors: Duarte Luciano Tavares , Silva Denise Britz do Nascimento , Brito Jose Andre de Moura
Published: December 2016

A relevância de um Censo Demográfico para o sistema de estatísticas públicas de uma nação é indiscutível do ponto de vista de sua abrangência temática e territorial. Em contrapartida, sua complexidade e dimensão levam a desafios na garantia da qualidade de seus resultados. O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os possíveis fatores associados a erros não amostrais detectados na coleta das informações, mediante a análise de paradados e dos microdados do Censo Demográfico brasileiro de 2010. Os dados utilizados provêm das informações sobre a operação de coleta e administração da pesquisa oriundas, respectivamente, do sistema de gerenciamento de recursos humanos do pessoal de coleta e do sistema de supervisão da operação de coleta, ou seja, os paradados. Também se utilizam os microdados do universo do Censo Demográfico. Neste estudo foram analisadas as divergências observadas entre as informações coletadas pelos recenseadores e aquelas obtidas por supervisores nas reentrevistas realizadas em procedimentos de supervisão do trabalho de campo. Para análise de divergências detectadas entre os dados coletados por recenseadores e supervisores, foram empregados modelos hierárquicos generalizados. Os resultados mostram que existem diferenciais nas divergências associados à estrutura de coleta dos dados e às características dos recenseadores, supervisores e informantes, além de revelarem diferenças regionais. Fica evidente, sobretudo, uma forte influência das características do informante nas chances de ocorrência das divergências, em detrimento das características dos supervisores e recenseadores. Os resultados da modelagem estatística sugerem que as entrevistas realizadas com informantes do sexo masculino, analfabetos ou com baixa escolaridade, mais velhos e que vivem em domicílios com indicadores que refletem condições de vida menos satisfatórias apresentam aumento nas chances em favor da ocorrência de divergências entre respostas coletadas por recenseador e supervisor.
General Mental Alertness in Visually Challenged and Sighted Students
Authors: Rani Rekha
Published: January 2017

The present study has been conducted to study the impact of vision on mental alertness. The visually challenged and sighted students were compared on general mental alertness. The two groups (visually challenged & sighted) were compared on quantitative (Q score) and linguistic scores (L score) of mental alertness. Further the impact of gender was also studied on general mental alertness of both the groups. A sample of 117 (45 visually challenged and 72 sighted) students from Aligarh city was selected for the study. The general mental alertness test developed by Kumari & Bano (2013) was administered to the students. The findings of the study reveal that the visually challenged differ significantly on general mental alertness from their sighted counterparts. The two groups differ on quantitative scores while on linguistic scores no significant difference was found. Moreover gender has no significant impact on the mental alertness of both the groups.
How States Carry Out Acts of Terror: Wars, Strategies and Tactics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo
Authors: Lleshi MA. Astrit
Published: January 2017

Terrorism is a notoriously difficult concept that defies single universal definition. Terrorists intentionally employ violence in order to instill fear in their victims and the wider public. Terrorist movements aim to achieve their political, social and/or religious goals through use of violent acts. (Hoffman, 1998: 43) In most cases terrorism is perpetrated by non-state actors and is "bottom up" challenge to the existing political order. However this article argues that the nature of the crime and not the perpetrator should determine whether some criminal act constitutes terrorism and acts of terror can also be committed by states and/or state actors. In this article, the author will examine the overall strategy and tactics used by the Milosevic and Karadzic regimes in BiH and Kosovo to fulfil their wartime ambitions of maintaining and consolidating control over Serb and Serb-occupied territory, relying primarily upon the indictments and judgments of the ICTY in which they and members of their armed forces acting under their authority have been charged and/or convicted of war crimes and terror, along with reports from international organizations such as the United Nations and other sources. Through an analysis of these tactics against leading definitions of terrorism, it will be demonstrated that rather than fighting against terrorists and insurgents, the Milosevic and Karadzic regimes carried out acts of terror during the wars in Kosovo and BiH, respectively, and furthermore Milosevic was sponsoring state-terrorism in BiH (Blakely, 2012: 3-4).

Unlike modernization, globalization is a process somewhat independent from the will of its adhering participants. This thesis represents Robertson sociologist giving a description based on which capital, ideas and cultural codes, with the help of new communication tools, expand worldwide. With rapid development of media and mass electronic communications is eliminated the importance of space and leads to shrinking (narrowing) of time and space which is a serious threat to national cultural identities. Fukuyama in his apology of liberal democracy warns "final political neutralization of nationalism" in terms of overall centralization and linguistic unity of the world.

O tumor odontogênico queratocístico (TOQ) é uma patologia benigna, que apresenta controvérsias em seu diagnóstico e tratamento. Ocorre principalmente em região de ângulo mandibular, podendo estar ou não relacionada a um elemento dentário, comportamento agressivo e alta taxa de recorrência. A descoberta destas lesões muitas vezes é dada em exames de rotina, já que a maioria das lesões é assintomática e o diagnóstico definitivo é dado somente através do anatomohistopatológico. O objetivo deste trabalho é direcionar a melhor conduta ao cirurgião diante do tumor odontogênico de maior relevância clínica na odontologia através de diferentes formas de tratamento. Paciente do sexo feminino, 16 anos, feoderma, atendida no Hospital Universitário Maria Aparecida Pedrossian – UFMS, pela equipe de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco Maxilo-Facial acometida por um tumor odontogênico queratocístico com transformação ameloblástica em região posterior de mandíbula tratado com ressecção segmentar. A reconstrução no mesmo tempo operatório utilizou enxerto ósseo autógeno de crista ilíaca. Após quatro meses de acompanhamento observou-se oclusão satisfatória, sem queixas álgicas, sem mobilidade da placa de reconstrução, taxa de reabsorção do enxerto com valores normais. O tratamento dos ameloblastomas deve ser individualizado de acordo com tamanho da lesão, localização anatômica, idade do paciente, agressividade da mesma e imagem radiológica, sendo que as lesões multicísticas devem ser submetidas a ressecções mais amplas, com tecido sadio como margem de segurança para evitar recidivas. Portanto, não se deve advogar um único tipo de tratamento para pacientes com ameloblastoma.Descritores: Ameloblastoma; Diagnóstico; Etiologia; Terapêutica.

Published: December 2016

Introduction: There is a high prevalence of dental trauma in patients in need of orthodontic treatment, so it is important the knowledge about the orthodontic approach in cases of traumatized teeth. Thus, this study conducted a systematic review about orthodontic approach in dental trauma. Materials and Methods: Two investigators performed a systematic review with meta-analysis. MEDLINE/PubMed and Cochrane Library supplied relevant data from studies published between February 2004 and September 2015 on the relationship between dental trauma and orthodontic treatment. Results: Susceptibility to pulp necrosis was the dichotomous outcomes measure evaluated by risk ratio (RR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). The quality was evaluated using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (EbM) guidelines. A search strategy and application of eligibility criteria enabled selection and evaluation of four studies on orthodontic treatment in traumatized teeth. In total, 1.696 patients (average age 11.6 years) with orthodontic treatment over 24.2 months were studied, and 484 had already suffered dental trauma and undergone orthodontic treatment. The primary observed sequelae after orthodontic treatment indicated greater susceptibility to pulp necrosis in traumatized teeth compared to no previous trauma. The patients with orthodontically treated traumatized maxillary incisors were more susceptible to pulp necrosis (RR: 7.6; 95% CI: 3.64 to 15.87; p= 0.00001) compared to patients with previous dental trauma to the maxillary incisors and no subsequent orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: There is no well-established protocol for these cases; such treatment must be careful and respect the healing period post-trauma, when these teeth are more susceptible to pulp necrosis and pulp obliteration. Descriptors: Tooth Injuries; Wounds and Injuries; Tooth Avulsion; Orthodontics, Corrective.

Nonlinear modes disentangle glassy and Goldstone modes in structural glasses
Authors: Gartner Luka , Lerner Edan
Published: December 2016

One outstanding problem in the physics of glassy solids is understanding the statistics and properties of low-energy excitations that stem from the disorder that characterizes these systems' microstructure. In this work we introduce a family of algebraic equations whose solutions represent collective displacement directions (modes) in the multi-dimensional configuration space of a structural glass. We explain why solutions of the algebraic equations, coined nonlinear glassy modes, are quasi-localized low-energy excitations. We present an iterative method to solve the algebraic equations, and use it to study the energetic and structural properties of a selected subset of their solutions constructed by starting from a normal mode analysis of the potential energy of a model glass. Our key result is that the structure and energies associated with harmonic glassy vibrational modes and their nonlinear counterparts converge in the limit of very low frequencies. As nonlinear modes never suffer hybridizations, our result implies that the presented theoretical framework constitutes a robust alternative definition of `soft glassy modes' in the thermodynamic limit, in which Goldstone modes overwhelm and destroy the identity of low-frequency harmonic glassy modes.

Shear Bond Strength of Two Types of Glass Ionomer to Bleached Dentin: Effect of Delayed Bonding and Antioxidant Agent
Authors: Omrani Ladan Ranjbar , Sabouri Parastoo , Abbasi Mehdi , Ahmadi Elham , Ghavam Maryam
Published: January 2017

Background:

Studies have shown a reduction in bond strength of composites and glass ionomer to bleached enamel and dentin. Several methods have been proposed to reverse compromised bond strength.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of delayed bonding and application of antioxidant agent on the bond strength of reinforced self-cured (Fuji IX) and light-cured glass ionomers (Fuji II LC) to bleached dentin.

Material:

Eighty extracted third molars were randomly divided into 8 groups. Buccal dentin surfaces received different treatments: Two control groups: no treatment + bonding Fuji IX or Fuji II LC. Two immediate bonding groups: bleaching + bonding Fuji IX or Fuji II LC. Two delayed bonding groups: bleaching + 7 days delay + bonding Fuji IX or Fuji II LC. Two sodium ascorbate application groups: Bleaching + application of 10% sodium ascorbate + bonding Fuji IX or Fuji II LC. All samples were tested for shear bond strength. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the mean and standard deviations among groups, followed by the Tukey’s test for significant interaction.

Results:

No statistically significant difference was detected in shear bond strength of Fuji IX to bleached or normal dentin. Although a significant reduction was found shear bond strength values of Fuji II LC to bleached dentin, no significant difference was observed between no bleaching group and those treated with 10% sodium ascorbate or 7 days of delay in bonding for both types of glass ionomer.

Conclusion:

Bleaching had no significant effect on shear bond strength of Fuji IX to dentin; this type of GI can be used immediately after bleaching.
The Significance of Community Support for Survivors of a Natural Disaster
Authors: Harris Marian S. , Musa Ganita , Brookman Ryan
Published: January 2017

This community based participatory research study was conducted in Oso, WA. Ten survivors of the 2014 mudslide participated in a focus group and discussed their experiences before and after this natural disaster. Findings revealed that the majority of participants had feelings of confusion/redundancy and were still processing feelings of grief and loss at the time of the focus group. Another finding was the strong sense of community expressed by all participants and the high level of support participants provided to each other during and after the mudslide. The study also highlighted the need for mental health resources to be part of any disaster relief plan because survivors need emotional support. Finally, findings demonstrated the importance of outside relief organizations seeking input from community members prior to implementing disaster relief; findings highlighted the significance of utilizing the high level of knowledge regarding area landslides expressed by members of the Oso community.

Micro-morphological and morphometric characters analysis of Silica Bodies (SB) on leaf epidermal cells of five selected taxa in the Sub-family panicoideae based on Analytical Microscopy (AM): A systematic approach
Authors: Dinda Shilpa , Ray Souradut , Mondal* Amal Kumar
Published: December 2016

Plants have unique capability to deposit silicon (si) with and between the cells and thus creating casts of the cells commonly known as silica bodies (plant stones). Silicon are very abundantly present only in the family Poaceae among monocotyledon. These silica bodies contain the composition of silicon to form different structural diversity of stone cells like long or short bar with rounded or semi rounded spheres dumbbell shaped, sinuous elongated rectangular, narrow elliptical rectangular, randle, polylobed and cross shaped etc. Light (LM), Polarized (PM), Fluorescence Microscopy (FM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were used for better micro-morphological study. These micro characters might be applied numerically by UPGMA method to solve different taxonomic problems within familial, generic and species level and compared to other systematics.

Response to Cadmium stress in Vigna radiata L., Trigonella foenum-graceum L., Oryza sativa L. and Pennisetum glaucum L.
Authors: Menon Pallavi , Joshi* Nitesh Chandulal , Joshi Ambika
Published: December 2016

Industrialization has resulted in the heavy metal contamination of agricultural soil. In the recent past, extensive studies on heavy metals are being carried out throughout the world, to understand the disturbances caused in the ecosystems.  In the present study, Cadmium was assessed for its injurious effect on seed germination and seedling growth of VignaradiataL., Trigonella foenum-graceum L., OryzasativaL. and PennisetumglaucumL. The seeds growing in petri dishes were exposed to cadmium in increasing concentrations of 1,3,5,10,50,100,200,300,500 ppm. Each treatment was replicated in a randomised design and observed over a period of 7 days. The seedlings were studied for their response based on germination rate, seed, vigour index, length of radicle, length of plumule and fresh weight against seeds germinated using distilled water as control. The intensity of inhibitory effect on all other parameters was directly proportional to the concentration of cadmium solution employed and inhibition was prominent from 50 ppm onwards. Based on the overall health of the seedling, the observed toxic effect of Cadmium was pronounced in Trigonella foenum-graceum L. >Oryza sativa L. >Pennisetum glaucum L. >Vigna radiate L.
Spatial - temporal analysis and potential health effects of air temperature - a case study in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Authors: Habeebullah Turki MA
Published: December 2016

High air temperature can adversely affect human health in various ways, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. This paper analyses the spatial and temporal variability of air temperature within Makkah using data from 8 monitoring stations from 2002 to 2014. It was observed that air temperature varied both in space and time within Makkah and annual average temperature ranged from about 27oC to 32oC, however hourly temperature was much higher and reached as high as 55oC, which is above the comfortable temperature range for most people, especially for elderly, women, children and those with chronic health problems. Spatial analysis showed that northeast region of Makkah experienced lower temperature, probably due to higher altitude. During the Study period, temperature demonstrated positive non-significant trends at most of the monitoring stations, except at Arafat and Abidiah where the trend was negative. Only Leeth monitoring station, representing Waly Al-Ahd area had positive significant trend. The positive trend is expected due to global warming and increasing urbanisation in this region, however the negative trend in Arafat and adjacent areas is most probably due to mass plantations of neem trees. Analysis shows that Hajj is moving towards hotter months (June, July and August) of the year, which might be a challenge for organisers of the Hajj as well as for the Pilgrims. Therefore, there might be a need for better planning during the coming years, including better housing, scheduling, transportation and ensuring the availability of better quality food and drinks.

Children are placed in orphanages due to poverty, abandonment, illness, death of parents, severe familial dysfunction and so on. Any of those conditions can result in a multitude of health problems in a child. The main Objectives of the study were to assess the physical health status of children aged between 6-12 years in selected orphanages of Udupi district and to find out association between the physical health status and selected demographic variables. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study. An observational checklist on physical health status was developed to collect the data by using purposive sampling technique. The findings of the results showed that the majority (65%) of the children had poor physical health status whereas 35% of the children had good physical health status. The major prevalent morbid conditions among children were Bitot’s spot (65%), pale conjunctiva (65%), acute respiratory tract infection (81.7%), dental caries (88.3%), inflammation of tonsils (73.3%), lice in the head (53.3%), scabies (65%), ring worm infection (46.7%), pyoderma (23.3%). The assessment of nutritional status revealed that majority (60%) of the children had malnutrition.

An assortment of redox-active phenazine compounds like pyocyanin with their characteristic blue-green colour are synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens, which are also considered one of the most commercially valuable microorganisms. In this study, pyocyanin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa BTRY1 from food sample was assessed for its antibiofilm activity by micro titer plate assay against strong biofilm producers belonging to the genera Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Brevibacterium and Micrococcus. Pyocyanin inhibited biofilm activity in very minute concentrations. This was also confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). Both SEM and CLSM helped to visualize the biocontrol of biofilm formation by eight pathogens. The imaging and quantification by CLSM also established the impact of pyocyanin on biofilm-biocontrol mainly in the food industry.

Water pollution due to heavy metals are spreading world-wide along with industrial progress. In this research work cultivation of Spirogyra sp. & Oscillatoria sp. were done and wastewater treatment of heavy metal such as Cr, Cd & Pb was accumulated by algae. After treatment of algae Spirogyra sp. & Oscillatoria sp. were decomposed and to prepare compost. The production of biogas from algal biomass becomes economically feasible and cheaper. This present study revealed that the nutrient content of natural compost was recorded about C- 38.5%, N- 3.31%, P- 1.02%, & K- 3.42%, heavy metal content of Cd- BDL, Pb- 0.21ml/mg & Cr- 0.01ml/mg and biogas value 19.19 l/kg. The maximum value of biogas was recorded at 30 ppm concentration (27.95 l/kg) of algal compost as compare to natural compost (19.19 l/kg) in Spirogyra sp. The experimental study concluded that the selected algae showed better biogas production as compared to natural. Whereas out of selected two algae, Spirogyra sp. gave better outcome as compare to Oscillatoria sp. Thus, Study suggested that algal biomass constitute a promising, efficient, cheap, decayed material for making compost and biogas production.
Funding and the Making of Culture: The Case of the Evergreen (1895–1897)
Authors: Grilli Elisa
Published: December 2016

Sourced mostly by documents from Patrick Geddes’s archive at Strathclyde University (SUA, Glasgow), including accounts and rough drafts, this article reveals the backstage organization of the Evergreen, a Northern Seasonal (Edinburg and London, 1895-97), as well as the financial and commercial concerns the amateur editors an aesthetic magazine had to face. The economics of publishing and the various stages through which the production of the Evergreen moved are explored. Three aspects, given the original editors’ project, inform the final product: the publishing venture (printing and financial aspects); the aesthetic medium (format, lay-out and artwork, as well as the magazine’s circulation); promoting culture (a Celtic Revival through international networks). Cultural activities related to the magazine served as platform for dialogue between literature, art, science, life, tradition, and modernity. A so-called ‘little magazine’ seen from the business perspective helps better understand the networks of periodicals’ diffusion and reception and the role they may play in a cultural marketplace. As methodology, this clarifies the compromises made under the hardbound cover of an aesthetically appealing magazine, and shows how the editors adapted their aesthetic and political ideals to material matters.
Mainstreaming the Avant-Garde: Modernism in Life Magazine (New York, 1883–1936)
Authors: Mansanti Céline
Published: December 2016

This paper explores the relationship between literary modernism and mainstream culture within a little-studied American magazine, Life (New York, 1884-1936). It does so by looking at three ways in which Life presented modernism to its readers: by quoting modernist writing, and, above all, by satirizing modernist art, and by offering didactic explanations of modernist art and literature. By reconsidering some of the long-established divisions between high and low culture, and between ‘little’ and ‘bigger’ magazines, this paper contributes to a better understanding of what modernism was and meant. It also suggests that the double agenda observed in Life – both satirical and didactic – might be a way of defining middlebrow magazines.
Advertisements in French and Belgian ‘Little Reviews’, 1890–1930: Visual Techniques and Design
Authors: Védrine Hélène
Published: December 2016

Between the 1880s and the 1920s, advertising proved fundamental to art and literature reviews since it fostered a new link between visual and consumerist culture. This article is based on fin de siècle and avant-garde magazines read in dialogue. It samples French and Belgian magazines illustrating innovations to 1880s periodicals and 1920s modernist magazines. The paper highlights the use of visual techniques in advertisements (page design, typography, etc.) that strengthen aesthetic and political stances. Advertising rhetoric masks aesthetic manifestos but also social and political agenda, revealed by visual displays of text. Publicity is also an important medium for poetic experimentation, embedded in ordinary advertising design already in the 1890s. Its subversive use informs new means of artistic expression, considered avant-garde innovations (collage, cadavre exquis, or typographic combinations). Advertising later represents new modernist stances within avant-garde magazines. Surrealism and Dada exploited publicity to promote their revolutionary aesthetic. In the 1920s, advertising being increasingly professionalized, specific designers used new visual means, strengthened artistic exchanges, and gradually erased the division between art and commercial culture in magazines. Thus modernism became part of a visual culture resonant with consumer commodities. Advertising ultimately exemplifies an interesting change in periodicals’ patterns, across literature and art reviews to the mainstream press, through posters, and decorative or architectural designs.
The Economics of Illustration: The Revue illustrée in the 1890s
Authors: Stead Evanghelia
Published: December 2016

The Parisian Revue Illustrée (1885–1912), a middle-class periodical of broad circulation and sophisticated iconography, lets us examine the expansion of fin-de-siècle culture beyond the so-called ‘petites revues’, particularly in the years 1894–1903. Through this fashionable all-publics fortnightly, typically fin-de-siècle tales and songs on transient motives, replete with Art Nouveau images and ornamentation, reach bourgeois households. The article shows the niche category the magazine occupied through its copious and exciting iconography. Using unpublished correspondence and print material culture, it throws light on the ways its editors turned the more refined parts of the magazine into deluxe photo-mechanically produced books. The study focuses on two men, René Baschet, the Revue’s editor from 1889 to 1904, and Jérôme Doucet, his assistant editor from July 1897 to 1902, and two fin-de-siècle writers, Catulle Mendès and Jean Lorrain, as well as up-coming artists André Cahard, Henry Bellery-Desfontaines, Manuel Orazi, and Carloz Schwabe. The case shows that sophisticated illustration was a financial spur that came cheap while it supported the so-called ‘decadent’ writings. Further, with refined taste, numerous connexions to artists, and work for a Dutch publisher, Jérôme Doucet emerges as a key figure behind the scenes.

Introduction: Reconsidering ‘Little’ versus ‘Big’ Periodicals
Authors: Stead Evanghelia
Published: December 2016

Launching the special issue, this introduction posits the strong contrast between ‘little’ and ‘big’ periodicals in historical context and within languages, primarily the ‘petite revue’ in French and the ‘little magazine’ in English. Referring to key texts, it looks at the historical birth of this antagonism and examines various uses of the terms that foster an enduring critical category. It stresses the implications of such terminology and addresses some queries. Asking what makes such expressions so resilient, it briefly presents recent scholarly responses to outright rivalry, and concentrates on the way this special issue tackles the topic.
