Mothers of newborn babies have an average of 4 hours' sleep a night and if a young child is proving resistant to a night routine, the terror of tiredness continues. Here's how to establish-and maintain-a sleep technique that will benefit all.
Meeting the contraceptive and sexual health needs of women in the postnatal period
Authors: Beazley Caroline , Kipps Sarah
Published: November 2017

Pregnancy and childbirth is a special period in a woman's life and involves significant physical, hormonal, psychological, social and cultural changes. Maintaining health and wellbeing during this time is imperative for both mother and child. Holistic care for new mothers includes all aspects of health, and sexual health is an important part of this. The antenatal contact is an ideal opportunity for health visitors to discuss contraception options, particularly if the client is seen on her own. This article will discuss the role of the health visitor in providing evidence-based information on contraception and sexual health to women in the postnatal period.
Using agent-based modelling algorithms to analyze the impacts of toxic contaminations on Lake Ontario ecosystem
Authors: Zavvarian Mohammad-Masoud
Published: November 2017

Recent advances in computer technology have brought a revolution in ecological modelling. Ecoinformatics and computational ecology make use of various programs, including agent-based modeling algorithms, to study ecological systems. In this study, an in-silico analysis was performed using an agent based modelling software, to analyze the impacts of a potential toxin on Lake Ontario ecosystem. For easier duplication of the real world into the virtual system, the ecosystem was divided into 6 compartments. These compartments include phytoplankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, forage fish, piscivores, and sea lamprey. The test model was performed under five different concentrations of toxin. Each test was repeated 15 times to reduce demographic stochasticity. The results suggest that toxic contaminations, such as mercury, could potentially lead to population reduction in forage fish, piscivores and sea lamprey compartments.Les progrès récents reliés à la technologie informatique ont amené une révolution dans la modélisation écologique.

Art teacher training: A photo essay
Authors: Mesías-Lema José María
Published: November 2017

This photo essay is part of a performance entitled ‘The Topsy-Turvey Classroom’. It involves students participating in a Master’s programme for visual arts teachers and was staged by surprise on their first day of class. These photographs help the spectator to relive and interpret the experiences that these students had when the door opened on our peculiar ‘Art Basement’. We can see their unexpected reactions, preconceived expectations turned upside down, expressions of uncertainty, unpredictable movements, a performance build-up and their creative interventions. The interconnection between the text and the photographs presents the practical application of teaching strategies involving an art-based educational research for the teacher’s professional development.
Is There Really a Trade-Off? Family Size and Investment in Child Quality in India
Authors: Azam Mehtabul , Hang Saing Chan
Published: November 2017

We address the relationship between number of children and investment in child quality, known as quantity–quality (Q–Q) trade-off, for India. Using a number of investment and outcome measures, we find that the OLS estimates suggest the presence of Q–Q trade-offs in nine out of ten measures considered. Using the gender of the first-born child as an instrument, the trade-offs in all measures disappear. Given the concerns about the exogeneity of the instrument, we apply Oster (2016) bounds to assess the sensitivity of OLS estimates to omitted variables. We find robust trade-off estimates in three measures currently enrolled in school, years of schooling and height-for-age. The results are more robust when observing trade-offs in rural areas. Trade-offs appear in ever enrolled in school, private school attendance, expenditure on education and private coaching in addition to the trade-offs in the three measures for all India sample.
Basic Income in Germany: Proposals for Randomised Controlled Trials using Nudges
Authors: Spermann Alexander
Published: November 2017

The killer argument in the German Policy debate is the fiscal one: we cannot afford a universal basic income (UBI). Fiscal effects are calculated by applying standard microsimulation and general computable equilibrium models. While these empirical models are useful for ex-ante evaluations of marginal reforms, the introduction of a basic income scheme is a fundamental reform associated with behavioural responses that are only partially captured by standard empirical models. Therefore, the proposed randomised controlled trials using nudges will provide more insights into the German institutional setting.

Published: November 2017

J. H. A. Gallaš (1756-1840) mentioned in his manuscript the occurrence of Corvus eremita L. in Moravia. Mlíkovský (2007) says incorrectly that Hudeček & Hanák (2004) had stated in was a discovery from the 19 th century. We have not written anything of this sort. Nevertheless, the author of his text persists on its potential occurrence in the 18 th century. The species Corvus eremita L. (= Geronticus eremita) has been taken as made-up and non-existent since the beginning of the 19 th century but its application in relation to the species Corvus graculus L.

Dichterehre. Dantes Poetik der Reputation
Authors: Kühne Udo
Published: November 2017

Riassunto

Nella sua Commedia Dante mette in scena a livello metatestuale la creazione del Dante epico e il suo ingresso nella storia della letteratura. Il progetto di un’implicita poetica della reputazione opera attraverso la distinzione tra onore e gloria/fama per tenere separate le due sfere: quella della storicità e quella dell’attualità della letteratura. Dante si posiziona rispetto a entrambe: mentre ›l’onore del poeta‹ viene considerato in prospettiva inclusiva e diacronica, ›la fama del poeta‹ appare invece orientata in modo esclusivo e sincronico. Chi la possiede gioca così un ruolo di primo piano (ma forse destinato a scomparire rapidamente) nella scena letteraria contemporanea.
Behind the cloak, between the lines: Trolls and the symbolism of their clothing in Old Norse tradition

Internet Governance and Terrorism in the Context of the Chinese Compression of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms
Authors: Bertolini Elisa
Published: November 2017

The Article analyzes the Internet governance in the Chinese context, with a particular focus on the Xinjiang Uighur Special Administrative Region. China is characterized by a tamed version of the Internet, whose governance is founded on the interaction between a highly sophisticated set of censorship tools and psychological self-censorship. In the Xinjiang Uighur Region, this architecture bonds with the war on Islamic terror. Indeed the censorship grip is stronger in the Islamic region, resulting in frequent cut off from the national Internet and in a slow connection speed. Moreover, the Xinjiang has turned into a laboratory for new censorship tools, which further compress rights and freedoms. Here the infringements affect, besides first generation rights (as in the rest of China), also second generation rights, towards which the government usually shows a great commitment. The result is a censorship that creates two different Internet, thus creating a discrimination between Uighur Chinese and Han Chinese.
On the leakage-resilient key exchange
Authors: Alawatugoda Janaka
Published: November 2017

Typically, secure channels are constructed from an authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocol, which authenticates the communicating parties based on long-term public keys and establishes secret session keys. In this paper we address the partial leakage of long-term secret keys of key exchange protocol participants due to various side-channel attacks. Security models for two-party authenticated key exchange protocols have been developed over time to provide security even when the adversary learns certain secret values. This paper combines and extends the advances of security modelling for AKE protocols addressing more granular partial leakage of long-term secrets of protocol participants. Further, we fix some flaws in security proofs of previous leakage-resilient key exchange protocols.

The Interpretive Function of the CJEU and the Interrelationship of EU and National Levels of Consumer Protection
Authors: Howells Geraint , Straetmans Gert
Published: November 2017

This paper analyses the ways in which the Unfair Contract Terms and Unfair Commercial Practices Directives try to steer a path between imposing a common European standard and allowing national variation. The open wording of the norms and safeguard clauses in both directives allows room for their flexible application. The differentiated role between the Court of Justice, as the interpreter of European law, and the national courts, as the party that applies it, provides a release valve to prevent any direct clashes and allows a subtle way for national perspectives to be reflected.

The analysis finds that, irrespective of the underlying level of harmonisation, and with the backing of the European legislator’s intention of ensuring a high level of consumer protection, the CJEU is gradually painting the average European consumer with more realistic features. Here, the case law of the CJEU fulfils a bridging function between the labelling requirements in the Foodstuff Regulation, the transparency requirements in the Unfair Contract Terms Directive and the informed decision requirements in the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. In these three domains the CJEU recognises that the level of customer attention may be suboptimal, even in the presence of comprehensive and correct information.

The CJEU’s approach contributes to more convergence in consumer protection throughout the EU. Yet, in terms of legitimacy, it must be noted that in all cases the CJEU has maintained a clear distinction between interpretation and application. The particular constitutional legal order in which the CJEU operates only allows for a process whereby the contours of a more coherent European consumer protection policy are gradually revealed. In the absence of sufficient legislative guidance at the European and national levels, national courts may be increasingly informed by the case law of the CJEU in an effort to establish clearly desirable common expectations. Those who believe that, in practice, uniformity can be achieved overnight by simply adopting a common maximum norm appear over-optimistic.
Constitutional and administrative paradigms in judicial control over EU high and low politics
Authors: Cebulak Pola
Published: November 2017

This article explores the particular tensions surrounding judicial review in EU external relations. The tensions are classified using a two-dimensional framework. Firstly, a distinction based on policy domains of high and low politics, which is derived from constitutional theory, and external to the CJEU; and secondly a distinction based on legitimizing paradigms of administrative (EU as effective global actor) or constitutional (judicial review as guarantee of fundamental rights) in character and determined by the Court itself. Even though one would expect a dominance of the administrative paradigm in the domain of high politics, the Court uses both the administrative and the constitutional paradigm in its external relations case-law. The decision on which of these becomes the guiding frame seems to depend more on the policy domain, and be made case by case, which suggests politically sensitive adjudication, rather than a coherent approach to legitimizing the nascent judicial review in EU external relations.
Complexation of a macrocyclic ligand, 2,6-di (N-methyl)formamide-calix[4]pyridine, with Eu(III) and extraction of Eu(III) and Am(III)
Authors: Lü Lina , Liu Jun , Yang Yanqiu , Li Kun , Hu Sheng , Luo Shunzhong
Published: November 2017

Complexation of a new macrocyclic compound, 2,6-dimethylformamide-calix[4]pyridine (L1
), with Eu(III) was studied by spectrophotometry. Stability constants of the Eu(III)/L1
complex in different solvents were determined. The results reveal that L1
forms moderately strong complexes with Eu(III) and other lanthanides in aprotic solvents and shows little binding ability with transition metals. Moreover, the binding strength of L1
weakens significantly in protic solvents. Using 2-bromodecanoic acid as the synergistic reagent, L1
extracts Am(III) and Eu(III) successfully with a separation factor of SFAm/Eu=1.3, and the distribution ratios of Am(III) and Eu(III) increases as the aqueous acidity is decreased. DFT computational studies were conducted to corroborate the solvent extraction data, and compare the coordination properties of Am(III)/Eu(III) complexes with L1
and a related, 2,6-diformamide-calix[4]pyridine (L2
). The computational results suggest that L2
could form stable complexes [ML]3+ and ML(NO3)3 [where M represent Am(III) or Eu(III)] in aqueous phase, in sharp contrast to the case of L1
where such complexes in aqueous phase are not stable.
Postural control and emotion in children with autism spectrum disorders
Authors: Gouleme Nathalie , Scheid Isabelle , Peyre Hugo , Seassau Magali , Maruani Anna , Clarke Julia , Delorme Richard , Bucci Maria Pia
Published: November 2017

Autism Spectrum Disorders subjects (ASD) are well known to have deficits in social interaction. We recorded simultaneously eye movements and postural sway during exploration of emotional faces in children with ASD and typically developing children (TD). We analyzed several postural and ocular parameters. The results showed that all postural parameters were significantly greater in children with ASD; ASD made significantly fewer saccades and had shorter fixation time than TD, particularly in the eyes, and especially for unpleasant emotions. These results suggest that poor postural control of ASD and their impaired visual strategies could be due to a lack of interest in social cognition, causing a delay in the development of the cortical areas, and thus could have an effect on their postural control.

In the present work, the crystal structure and third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of two novel chalcone derivatives namely (E)-3-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I) and (E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (II) are investigated by analyzing the packing pattern, intermolecular interaction, Hirshfeld surface analysis and standardZ-scan technique with continuous wave laser at 532 nm. Both compounds are donor-acceptor-acceptor (D–A–A) type intramolecular charge transferring molecule which crystallized in centrosymmetric space group. The existence of C–H···O hydrogen bonds inIand Br···O short contact interactions inIIplay important roles in their packing pattern and NLO properties. The molecules reveal a strong nonlinear refraction (NLR) and nonlinear susceptibilityχ(3)when the donor and acceptor are arranged side-by-side as in compoundI. And as the donor and acceptor are aligned on a head-to-head alignment, the molecules divulge a strong third-order nonlinear absorption (NLA) and limiting threshold (LT). TheZ-scan results indicate that both compounds would be potential applicants in the development of NLO devices.
A new method for fast extraction and determination of chlorophylls in natural water
Authors: Qiu Nianwei , Wang Xiushun , Zhou Feng
Published: November 2017

Algae collection and chlorophyll extraction are two troublesome steps in the traditional methods used for the determination of chlorophyll concentration in natural water. A new method was established in this study for fast collection and extraction of chlorophyll. Based on our results, the optimum centrifugation condition for collecting algae was determined as: 5000 g for 15 min at 4 °C, and the optimum dilution ratio of dimethyl sulfoxide: 90% acetone was 1:4. The specific steps were as follows: the algae in water samples were collected by centrifugation at 5000 g at 4 °C for 15 min. The precipitated algae were suspended with 2 mL DMSO. Then the sample was transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, and the tube was incubated at 65 °C for 1–2 h in the dark until the sample turned white. After cooling, the chlorophyll extract was diluted with 8 mL 90% acetone, before centrifugation at 5000 g for 5 min. The absorbance values of the supernatants at 750, 664, 647 and 630 nm were used for the calculation of chlorophyll concentrations by the trichromatic equations. This new method saved the filter cost, simplified the extraction process, improved the algae acquisition efficiency, and accelerated the chlorophyll extraction rate.
U túumben bejilo’ob maayat’aan: los nuevos caminos de la lengua maya
Authors: Briceño Chel Fidencio
Published: November 2017

The aim of this article is to outline the new paths of the Maya language in the Yucatan Peninsula. The author identifies the linguistic and extra linguistic factors that are causing a decline in the domains of use of Maya, despite it being a very widely spoken language in Mexico. This article also reviews different stages in the history of the Maya language, in order to show how it came to be a language in frequent contact with other languages. Changes within the language and in the linguistic awareness of its speakers have led to new efforts in its revitalization and in the creation of new functional domains which may help it gain back status, it may also lead to the creation of new spaces for it to be used along with other world languages. In this process, Maya speakers, NGOs, associations, and institutes of Maya language, along with experts, researchers, and government sectors, have come together to create new paths which aim at promoting and strengthening the Maya language. However, there exist external factors which serve as obstacles to the creation of clear, pertinent, and feasible linguistic policies.
Lenguas indígenas en el mercado lingüístico: retos y perspectivas para la vitalidad del maya yucateco
Authors: Montemayor Gracia Julia
Published: November 2017

In the Yucatec peninsula, Spanish and Yucatec Maya coexist in a diglossic context where Spanish is considered the high prestige variety, while Yucatec Maya is mainly spoken in informal, private settings. Even though there have been major changes in language policy over the last 25 years in order to protect Mexican indigenous languages, the number of Maya speakers is still declining. This article examines the effects of different economic factors on the vitality of Yucatec Maya, whose monetary, functional and idealistic values are being negotiated on the «linguistic market». From the region’s industrial and infrastructural transformation in the 1960 s on, Yucatec Maya has been increasingly exposed to general tendencies of globalization (e.g. migration). Under the present circumstances, tourism can be seen as a double-edged sword for Yucatán: On the one hand, it is the peninsula’s main source of income, but on the other, it brings with it negative consequences for language use, the Maya speaker’s language (self) awareness and related processes of identity construction.
α-Synuclein-Dependent Calcium Entry Underlies Differential Sensitivity of Cultured SN and VTA Dopaminergic Neurons to a Parkinsonian Neurotoxin

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease characterized by a loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Although mitochondrial dysfunction and dysregulated α-synuclein (aSyn) expression are postulated to play a role in PD pathogenesis, it is still debated why neurons of the SN are targeted while neighboring dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are spared. Using electrochemical and imaging approaches, we investigated metabolic changes in cultured primary mouse midbrain dopaminergic neurons exposed to a parkinsonian neurotoxin, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). We demonstrate that the higher level of neurotoxicity in SN than VTA neurons was due to SN neuron-specific toxin-induced increase in cytosolic dopamine (DA) and Ca2+, followed by an elevation of mitochondrial Ca2+, activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and mitochondrial oxidation. The increase in cytosolic Ca2+was not caused by MPP+-induced oxidative stress, but rather depended on the activity of both L-type calcium channels and aSyn expression, suggesting that these two established pathogenic factors in PD act in concert.
Evaluating Community Engagement and Benefit-Sharing Practices in Australian Wind Farm Development
Authors: Hall Nina Lansbury , Hicks Jarra , Lane Taryn , Wood Emily
Published: November 2017

The wind industry is positioned to contribute significantly to a clean energy future, yet the level of community opposition has at times led to unviable projects. Social acceptance is crucial and can be improved in part through better practice community engagement and benefit-sharing. This case study provides a “snapshot” of current community engagement and benefit-sharing practices for Australian wind farms, with a particular emphasis on practices found to be enhancing positive social outcomes in communities. Five methods were used to gather views on effective engagement and benefit-sharing: a literature review, interviews and a survey of the wind industry, a Delphi panel, and a review of community engagement plans. The overarching finding was that each community engagement and benefit-sharing initiative should be tailored to a community’s context, needs and expectations as informed by community involvement. This requires moving away from a “one size fits all” approach. This case study is relevant to wind developers, energy regulators, local communities and renewable energy-focused non-government organizations. It is applicable beyond Australia to all contexts where wind farm development has encountered conflicted societal acceptance responses.

Licania rigida é uma espécie arbórea, nativa da Caatinga, que contém uma semente rica em óleo, considerado fonte de matéria prima para diversos fins. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de diferentes tratamentos pré-germinativos e o tempo de armazenamento em câmara fria sobre a emergência e viabilidade de sementes de L. rigida. Frutos recém-colhidos e armazenadas por 1 e 3 anos em câmara fria foram submetidas aos tratamentos: fruto íntegro – controle, remoção do epicarpo, imersão em H2SO4 (98%) por 10 minutos e embebição em água por 80 e 160 horas. Foram avaliados o percentual de emergência, o tempo médio de emergência e o índice de velocidade de emergência. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial (5 x 2) com quatro repetições de 20 sementes cada. As médias foram comparadas pelo Teste de Tukey. Os resultados mostraram que a remoção do epicarpo proporcionou o maior percentual e índice de velocidade de emergência para L. rigida, tanto nas sementes recém-colhidas quanto após um ano de armazenamento. As sementes perderam a viabilidade com o tempo de armazenamento em câmara fria, sendo que após três anos não houve emergência em nenhum tratamento.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo fazer uma análise comparativa de materiais compósitos, submetidos aos ensaios de tração uniaxial, compostos com a resina poliéster do tipo teraftálica e fibras de vidro-E, na forma de tecido bidirecional. Através dos ensaios mecânicos foi feita uma avaliação comparativa do comportamento das propriedades mecânicas como módulo de elasticidade, tensão de ruptura, deformação de ruptura e tensão máxima. O processo de manufatura dos compósitos foi por laminação manual (Hand-lay-up), utilizando cinco camadas de reforço. Para o ensaio mecânico citado acima, foi obedecida à norma ASTM 3039 (tração). Deve salientar que para efeitos de comparação das propriedades mecânicas, parte dos corpos de prova foram imerso em petróleo durante um período de 365 dias (1 ano), e outra parte foi exposto ao mesmo período no petróleo e em seguida, exposto ao envelhecimento acelerado com ação simultânea de temperatura e umidade. O envelhecimento acelerado foi fundamentado, segundo a norma ASTM D5427. Ao final, os laminados em estudo, foram submetidos à caracterização final da fratura. O estudo realizado permitiu a conclusão de que houve queda das propriedades mecânicas para as condições de imersas em petróleo e com o envelhecimento, para o ensaio de tração. Na caracterização da fratura, os principais tipos de danos em materiais compósitos foram observados.
BACHARÉIS QUE SE TORNAM PROFESSORES: INSERÇÃO E PRÁTICA PROFISSIONAIS DE ENGENHEIROS NO ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors: Silva Silvia Helena dos Santos Costa e , Souza Francisco das Chagas Silva
Published: November 2017

Neste artigo, discutimos o exercício da docência por bacharéis com formação em engenharia. A pesquisa teve como cenário o curso de Engenharia Elétrica do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba (IFPB), Campus João Pessoa. As questões norteadoras da pesquisa foram: por que engenheiros, mesmo sem ter optado por um curso de licenciatura, tornam-se professores? Como esses bacharéis professores avaliam suas primeiras experiências nessa profissão? Baseados no método autobiográfico, convidamos seis engenheiros professores do curso de Engenharia Elétrica do IFPB/João Pessoa para relatar sobre a inserção destes na docência e refletir quanto as suas experiências em sala de aula. As entrevistas abertas foram gravadas em áudio, transcritas e submetidas a análise de conteúdo. A abordagem teórica e a discussão dos resultados da pesquisa se deram a partir dos estudos de Ferrarotti (2010), Pineau (2006), Josso (2010), Cunha (1997), Souza (2006), Nóvoa (1997), Tardif (2011), Marcelo (2010), dentre outros. Os relatos dos entrevistados evidenciaram que estes tornaram-se docentes de forma não planejada, prevalecendo os aspectos contingenciais. Os entrevistados reconhecem a carência de uma formação pedagógica, mas não têm investido nesse tipo de formação na pós-graduação, de forma sistematizada. Destacamos a importância de mais estudos a respeito da docência exercida por egressos de cursos de bacharelados, mas também de políticas e incentivos à formação continuada desses sujeitos.
RELAÇÕES DE GÊNERO E ERGONOMIA: ABORDAGEM DO TRABALHO DA MULHER OPERÁRIA
Authors: Rosa Mislene , Quirino Raquel
Published: November 2017

Este artigo, de natureza teórica e empírica, descreve e aborda algumas condições de trabalho da mulher operária, sob a perspectiva de relações de gênero e intervenções ergonômicas. A partir da década de 1970, intensificou-se a participação da mulher no mercado de trabalho e, nos últimos anos elas deixaram de atuar somente naquelas áreas tipicamente femininas para ocupar espaço em profissões ditas masculinas que exigem força e resistência. O problema abordado são as dificuldades encontradas pelas mulheres operárias entrevistadas nesses ambientes laborais e a necessidade de adaptações ergonômicas dos postos de trabalho, de forma a atender as suas necessidades pessoais para a execução de suas atividades de forma eficiente e segura. Os resultados apontam para um silenciamento das relações de gênero no setor industrial, sobretudo quando se analisa as condições ergonômicas das atividades na perspectiva de uma subjetiva sexuada e atuante.
LA RESPONSABILIDAD SOCIAL EN LA EMPRESA FAMILIAR
Authors: Hernández Calzada Martín Aubert , Moheno Jessica Mendoza , Salazar Hernández Blanca Cecilia
Published: November 2017

El objetivo del presente artículo consiste en determinar la importancia que tiene la responsabilidade social en las empresas familiares, analizando las motivaciones que llevan a los empresarios a realizar acciones de responsabilidad social, así como la forma en que la conciben, a través de una investigación de tipo documental. El análisis permite observar que las empresas familiares suelen llevar a cabo en mayor medida acciones de responsabilidad social que aquellas cuyo control, gestión y propiedad no están en manos de la familia. Así mismo, se vislumbra la necesidad de diferenciar la filantropía con la responsabildad social y la necesidad de generar en los empresarios un mayor conocimiento, tanto de lo que significa, como de sus implicaciones en la empres.
CAÇA, CAPTURA E USO DA FAUNA SILVESTRE NO BRASIL COMO CRIMES AMBIENTAIS E TABU CIENTÍFICO: REFLEXÃO SOBRE CATEGORIAS TEÓRICAS
Authors: Ruas Robertho Marconi Santos , Furtado Diego Corrêa , Guerra Gutemberg Armando Diniz , Lopes Cinthia Távora de Albuquerque , Domingues Sheyla Farhayldes Souza
Published: November 2017

A lei brasileira proíbe interações homem x fauna sem autorização formal, exceto o abate para saciar a fome de pessoa necessitada. Criminalizam-se, assim, diversas práticas tradicionais (caça, captura, consumo, comércio e criação de animais silvestres), ligadas a estilos de vida e sociabilidades divergentes do padrão estabelecido. Reconhecendo imprecisões na delimitação das categorias jurídicas “legal” e “ilegal”, o artigo critica sua absorção pelo discurso científico e propõe substituí-las por categorias remetidas à racionalidade do agente que interage com a fauna: próxima ou distante, em sucessivos graus, da lógica de mercado. Ao revelar a diversidade de situações até então indistintamente rotuladas como crimes ambientais, tais categorias dariam visibilidade a grupos sociais marginalizados, viabilizando sua valorização como atores legítimos na interlocução com a pesquisa científica e com programas de manejo participativo do ambiente.
AUTOBIOGRAFIA, A (RE) CONSTRUÇÃO DE SENTIDOS E SIGNIFICADOS NA FORMAÇÃO DE GESTOR AMBIENTAL
Authors: Soares Dias Eric Mateus , Silva Daisy Daniele da , Ribeiro Maria Betânia Torres
Published: November 2017

As discussões sobre a formação, perfil profissional e campo de trabalho de gestores ambientais no Brasil ainda são recentes e isso demonstra a importância de identificar os fatores que possibilitaram o desejo, a escolha e as oportunidades para o ingresso profissional na Gestão Ambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de compreender o que motivou o ingresso de estudantes no curso de Gestão Ambiental da UERN e impulsionou o desejo, a escolha e encontrou oportunidades para a construção do percurso profissional na área ambiental. A pesquisa se configura em uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo em vista a utilização do método autobiográfico como mecanismo de pesquisa, que apresenta experiências dotadas de sentido. O debate que aqui se faz procura responder a duas questões norteadoras: o que motivou a escolha para o ingresso no curso de gestão ambiental? Quais lembranças de aproximações/relações com o ambiente vivido foram narradas pelos estudantes nas suas autobiografias? Dessa forma, o principal objetivo deste trabalho foi mostrar as principais evidências para a motivação e ingresso na área de formação em gestão ambiental.

We previously reported on a family with hereditary lung cancer, in which a germline mutation in the transmembrane domain (G660D) of avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) (ERBB2; human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]) seemed to be responsible for the cancer predisposition. Although few data are available on treatment, anti-ERBB2 therapeutic agents may be effective for ERBB2-mutant cancers. The familial lung cancer patient in one of the authors’ institutes developed bone metastasis with enlarging lung tumors and was treated with the ERBB2 inhibitor afatinib. We also encountered a patient with ampullary adenocarcinoma with ERBB2 G660D and S310F comutations in another institute of the authors’, revealed by comprehensive genomic profiling. This patient was then treated with afatinib and also achieved transitory response. We also searched for ERBB2 transmembrane mutations in various types of cancers in PubMed, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and the Memorial Sloan Kettering-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets (MSK-IMPACT) database. Besides our two cases, two patients with V659E mutations were found via PubMed. Three potential patients were found in TCGA. In addition, MSK-IMPACT allowed identification of three additional urothelial carcinomas with G660D mutations and two lung adenocarcinomas with V659E mutations. Our experience suggests that establishing a database of integrated information regarding the clinical genome and therapeutic outcome of patients with recurrent but less common mutations is essential to implement precision oncology.

Key Points

Rare but targetable mutations such as avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) (ERBB2; human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]) transmembrane domain (TMD) mutations can be detected by comprehensive genomic profiling. Afatinib may be effective for patients with cancer with ERBB2 (HER2) TMD mutations. In order to implement precision oncology, it is important to establish a database of integrated information regarding the clinical genomes and therapeutic outcomes of patients with recurrent but less common mutations.
Updating the Racial Wealth Gap
Authors: Thompson Jeffrey P. , Suarez Gustavo A.
Published: November 2017

Using newly available data from the Survey of Consumer Finances, this paper updates and extends the literature exploring the racial wealth gap. We examine several hypotheses proposed by previous researchers, including the importance of inherited wealth and other family support and that of trends in local real estate markets, and also extend the literature by exploring the gap across the distribution of wealth and simultaneously considering white, African American and Hispanic households. The findings indicate that observable factors account for all of wealth gap between white and Hispanic households and most of the gap between white and black families – more than in most previous research – but a substantial unexplained portion remains. Wealth differences between black and white families are completely due to different asset holdings, while wealth differences between black and Hispanic families are mostly a result of different debt holdings. Home ownership and educational attainment are the single largest observable factors that account for the racial wealth gaps, with income and financial assistance from family members playing important roles as well. The unexplained portion of the wealth gap between white and non-white families is greater at the top of the wealth distribution.
An Analysis of the Demand for Education for Sustainable Development among Tourism Majors
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Min Chang-Kee
Published: November 2017

The concept of sustainable development is important in tourism as its various forms of are closely related to this concept. They all appear under the name of sustainable tourism. However, there are very few courses teaching this concept within the tourism curriculum and only a small number of tourism departments provide these courses. This study was implemented to examine the need for ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) within the tourism major and suggest directions for ESD in tourism education. An empirical study of 766 students from 5 universities was conducted using quota sampling and these showed a high demand for ESD themes in general (M=3.78) It also showed that the current teaching level of ESD however was low (M=2.81). The major themes in ESD and the themes in socio-cultural domain are: international understanding, multi-cultural understanding, conflict resolution, and civil education. These themes all showed high demand followed by themes of corporate social responsibility and responsible consumption in economic domain. The themes concerning environmental domain showed relatively low demand, but themes like eco-friendly energy, waste disposal/recycling of resources, and disaster prevention showed relatively high demand when compared with the current level of teaching. In conclusion, the need for a holistic approach through ESD in sustainability education in tourism is paramount. A follow-up study on the relationship between the concepts of sustainable development and sustainable tourism through an analysis of the contents of ecotourism courses in tourism curricula is also recommended.

Teacher-Student Relationships as a Factor of Successful Learning Activity in Schoolchildren
Authors: Fomichenko A.S.
Published: November 2017

This paper reviews how teacher-student relationships affect the success of learning activity in schoolchildren. Outcomes of Russian and foreign studies suggest that positive relationships between teachers and students are critically important for successful learning at school. The paper thoroughly analyses individual characteristics of teachers. It is emphasized that some of these characteristics (such as emotional support and academic guidance) can act as a reliable basis, encouraging students to engage more fully in learning activities and to achieve high academic performance. It is argued that the assumption according to which the relationship between teachers and students is a significant motivational factor in academic performance is still relevant. The paper describes the effect of teacher expectations on student achievement and concludes with several important notes concerning the discussed problem of teacher-student relationships and their impact on the success of learning activity.
