Alfabetización mediática en la escuela primaria. Estudio de caso en Galicia
Authors: Alonso-Ferreiro Almudena , Gewerc Adriana
Published: April 2018

Las nuevas necesidades formativas para una integración activa y crítica de los ciudadanos en el Siglo XXI han generado disposiciones curriculares que integran la llamada Competencia Digital (CD). En este artículo se presenta una investigación que propone describir, conocer y comprender los procesos de apropiación e interpretación de las propuestas curriculares referidas a la competencia digital en las escuelas primarias de Galicia. Las preguntas de investigación refieren a: ¿Cómo traduce el profesorado las disposiciones curriculares en sus prácticas de aula? ¿Qué estrategias de enseñanza con nuevos medios se están llevando a cabo en las aulas para contribuir al desarrollo de la competencia mediática? Se realizó un diseño cualitativo basado en estudio de caso con enfoque etnográfico, con observación participante, entrevistas, grupos de discusión y análisis documental. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando Atlas.ti 7 en base a la teoría fundamentada. Los resultados evidencian la creación de espacios para trabajar los medios en la escuela, aunque su tratamiento es escaso, con poca profundidad y deja de lado aspectos esenciales de la competencia digital, como el análisis crítico de la información. La escuela aparece como un lugar esencial desde el que abordar los aprendizajes relacionados con esta competencia para garantizar la justicia social en la sociedad contemporánea, donde la participación del alumno y su rol activo es fundamental para desarrollar las dimensiones de comunicación y creación de contenidos de la competencia digital.
Efectos de la lectura compartida y la conciencia fonológica para una mejora en el aprendizaje lector
Authors: Gutiérrez Fresneda Raúl
Published: April 2018

El estudio del aprendizaje de la lectura en las primeras edades ha sido objeto de numerosas investigaciones en los últimos años. Actualmente existe acuerdo en que el aprendizaje de la lectura requiere el desarrollo del lenguaje hablado, por lo que resulta determinante el dominio en las primeras edades de la lengua oral para la facilitación del aprendizaje del lenguaje escrito. En sistemas alfabéticos como el español, en los que la escritura representa la estructura fonológica del habla cuando los  niños se inician en el proceso de adquisición de la lectura han de saber que nuestro sistema de representación del código escrito se basa en la segmentación de la cadena hablada y que las letras son signos gráficos que se corresponden con los elementos sonoros. Este es un requisito necesario pero no suficiente, ya que además se ha de establecer una adecuada relación entre los fonemas y los grafemas que los representan puesto que el éxito en el aprendizaje de la lectura implica esta destreza. El propósito de este trabajo fue analizar si con la utilización de programas que integren dinámicas de lectura compartida junto con el desarrollo de las habilidades de conciencia fonológica se favorece el aprendizaje lector en las primeras edades. Se empleó un diseño cuasi-experimental de comparación entre grupos con medidas pretest y postest. Participaron 424 alumnos con edades comprendidas entre los 5 y los 6 años. Los resultados ponderan el valor potencial de la instrucción y apoyan el desarrollo de modelos de enseñanza que integren la conciencia fonológica junto con prácticas de lectura dialógica en la dinámica del aula.

Published: April 2018

Este estudio se centra en el desarrollo de la competencia mirada profesional sobre la argumentación científica en el aula de secundaria. La argumentación científica escolar requiere la relación de tres aspectos (conceptual, didáctico y estructural). La caracterización de esta competencia profesional involucra el desarrollo de tres destrezas por parte de los futuros docentes: identificar los elementos relevantes del proceso de argumentación en clase de ciencias; interpretar dichos elementos y tomar decisiones fundamentadas en la práctica para la mejora de los procesos argumentativos en el aula de ciencias. Esta competencia se estudia a partir del contexto de aprender a analizar prácticas argumentativas usando episodios de clase video grabados. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la complejidad en el desarrollo de esta competencia a lo largo de una intervención formativa, evidenciando cambios significativos en las destrezas identificar e interpretar prácticas argumentativas y, en cambio dificultades en la toma de decisiones en la práctica a partir de la reflexión.
The Role of Employee’s Work Expectations in Job Satisfaction and Labour Turnover in the Service Industry: A Case of Selected Organisations in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States Nigeria
Authors: Babalola Oluwayemi Oginni , Emmanuel Olaniyi Dunmade , Aina Cecilia Ogunwole
Published: April 2018

The study aimed at investigating the role of employee’s work expectations in job satisfaction and implication on labour turnover in the service industry in some selected organisations in the three states of Western part of Nigeria. The study identified some elements of employee’s work expectations as well as the relationship between and among the variables of the study. A total number of 593 copies of questionnaires were randomly administered to the respondents from which 571 copies were collected back from the respondents out of which 542 copies of questionnaires were found useful for analytical purposes thus giving response rate as 91%. Correlation and regression analyses were used to determine the relationship and test the stated hypotheses. It was found that there is a positive and strong relationship among the variables at 0.05 level of significance. It was recommended that management of the service industry should endeavour to utilise interview as a weapon during employment process to understand the work expectations of the employees and place side by side with that of employer’s expectations and give the job to the most suitable candidate and not the best candidate whose work expectation is not congruent with that of the employer.
A Quasi-Global Mindset: Psychological and Structural Factors That Made Japanese MNCs Succeed in the West and Struggle in China
Authors: Shimizu Katsuhiko
Published: April 2018

The aim of this study is examining why many Japanese MNCs, which are embedded in Eastern cultures, were successful in the late 1970s and 1980s in Western markets, but have struggled in Eastern emerging markets such as China since the mid-2000s. The success of Japanese MNCs in Western developed countries, whose cultural, institutional, and business environments are very different from the Japanese market, suggests that Japanese managers were developing global mindsets. Thus, their recent struggle in China, which should have more commonalities with Japanese markets than Western markets, is a puzzle and should provide important implications for both researchers and practitioners. Based on the results of exploratory interviews with senior executives of ten large Japanese MNCs, we proposed the idea of a quasi-global mindset, which characterizes Japanese managers’ mindsets that are not truly global but are subjectively global. To the extent that managers erroneously believe they have a global mindset and that traditional organizational structures and systems block opportunities to recognize the problem, managers cannot understand the real problems and thus falsely attribute difficulties to the external environment. This study provides important implications to Japanese MNC managers as well as other MNC managers in terms of articulating the importance as well as the difficulties in obtaining true global mindset.
Litigation as a Tool for Community Empowerment: The Case of Kenya’s Ogiek

Litigation as a Tool for Community Empowerment: The Case of Kenya’s Ogiek

In May 2017, the Ogiek indigenous community of Kenya successfully challenged the denial of their land and associated rights before the African Court of Human and Peoples Rights (‘the Court’). In the first indigenous peoples’ rights case considered the Court, and by far the largest ever case it has had to consider, the Court found violations of Articles 1, 2, 8, 14, 17 (2) and (3), 21 and 22 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (‘the African Charter’). It therefore created a major legal precedent. In addition, the litigation itself and Ogiek’s participation in the various stages of the legal process provided a model for community engagement, through which the Ogiek were empowered to better understand and advocate for their rights. This article will first explain the history of the case and the Court’s findings, and then move on to examine in further detail methods employed to build the Ogiek’s capacity throughout, and even beyond, the litigation.

Understanding Controversy: Government Information on Dietary Sustainability
Authors: Klimek Sarah
Published: April 2018

When the Advisory Report for the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans was released in February 2015, news outlets and other media platforms quickly zeroed in on some of the report’s most controversial guidelines. Roughly one week after the report was released, National Public Radio released a news story titled “Will the Dietary Guidelines Consider the Planet? The Fight is On,” discussing the heated controversy that was already brewing over a particular recommendation that addressed the topic of environmental sustainability.This recommendation essentially warned that current dietary patterns in the United States have created serious environmental problems that threaten long-term food security, and therefore the guidelines should not only recommend dietary changes that support human nutrition, but that also support the consumption of more environmentally sustainable foods.
FOIA: Then and Now
Authors: Kerzel Sami
Published: April 2018

Enacted in 1966 and effective July 4, 1967, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) gives people, both citizens and non-citizens, the right to request access to federal executive branch agency records. According to FOIA’s website, provided by the United States Department of Justice, FOIA “is a law that gives you the right to access information from the federal government. It is often described as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government.” However, agencies may at their own discretion provide access to records that fall under these exemptions and exclusions when allowed by law. Due to amendments that have occurred overtime, FOIA remains relevant in today’s technological world. Some information, called proactive disclosures, are made freely available online by agencies, which do not require a request, and when requests are needed they can be made electronically. To truly understand FOIA an understanding of its general workings, amendment history and recent legislation is beneficial.
Missouri Documents Reclassification: A Challenge
Authors: Stewart Tammy , Thompson Rebecca
Published: April 2018

The Missouri State University (MSU) Library has been a government documents depository for several decades; the library has been collecting federal documents since 1963, Missouri documents since the state depository began in 1977, and UN documents since 2000. Although there was no official program for Missouri government publications until 1977, previous government documents librarians collected a large number of the documents produced by the state of Missouri. Some were in the catalog, but some were not. Those older documents in the catalog were given Library of Congress (LC) classification numbers.
Online Guide to U.S. Map Resources: Take the Survey—Get on the Map!
Authors: Kollen Christine
Published: April 2018

The Guide to U.S. Map Resources, produced by the American Library Association’s Map and Geography Round Table (MAGERT) in 1986, 1990, and 2006, provides detailed directory information for map collections and cartographic resources in libraries and similar institutions throughout the United States. A decade has passed since the third edition was published, and there have been many changes in how libraries collect, preserve, provide access to, and administer maps and other cartographic resources. There is also yet another, newer, type of cartographic information to consider: geospatial data. In addition, there has been an explosion in the use of geospatial technologies, meaning the demand to find geospatial data for research needs is more prominent than ever.

The Dilemma of Lawlessness: Organized Crime, Violence, Prosperity, and Security Along Guatemala’s Borders
Authors: Alford Emily M.
Published: April 2018

This book presents the reader with both facts and conclusions drawn from three case studies. Authors Ralph Espach, Daniel Haering, Javier Meléndez Quiñonez, and Miguel Castillo Giron focus on the lack of security along Guatemala’s borders and the serious narcotics trafficking, execution-style mass murders, and other severe public security issues that have developed as a result. This research looks closely at the effects of criminal organizations and illicit trafficking within the three particular border municipalities of Guatemala—Sayaxché, Gualán, and Malacatán. The three areas are compared demographically and economically, and through which a deeper analysis is developed on creating better border control through the behaviors of the local communities themselves.

The Common Core State Standards and Intellectual Freedom: Implications for Libraries
Authors: Gaffney Loretta M.
Published: April 2018

The Common Core State Standards are a single set of codified, grade-by-grade K-12 educational standards in both English/language arts (ELA) and math that were intended to replace previous state K-12 standards and align them with one another. The National Governors’ Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) developed Common Core in consultation with educational testing companies and with funding from the Bill Gates Foundation. While Common Core has enjoyed bipartisan support from Democrats and Republicans, opposition to Common Core has also generated strange bedfellows, mingling groups that would ordinarily clash, such as the Tea Party and teachers’ union locals. Disparate challenges to Common Core are best understood not as individual curricular challenges, but as moving pieces in a larger social movement context.
Let the Information Flow

About twenty years ago I became the library director at a small state college in a far-northern state, known mostly for liberal social stances even among its conservative electorate. So I was taken aback when the head of computing recommended I install the same filtering software used in the public school system to protect students from getting into “mischief” online. College students are taking their first steps into adulthood, I explained when declining his offer, and they should get into mischief. They should be testing their boundaries, finding out the world is much different than the dinner conversations they grew up with surrounded by people whose main goal was protecting them.

IMPERIALE, Stefania: Contar por imágenes: la narrativa de Juan Benet (Sevilla: Renacimiento, 2016, 401 págs.)
Authors: López López Carmen María
Published: April 2018

Recordar a Juan Benet —su narrativa, su pensamiento estético y su particular estilo— no es tarea fácil si el estudioso no repara en el lugar indiscutible que la voz singular de este escritor ocupa en el panorama de las letras españolas contemporáneas. Fiel a esta premisa, en Contar por imágenes: la narrativa de Juan Benet (2016), Stefania Imperiale ha logrado perfilar una aproximación crítica novedosa a la obra de Benet, partiendo para tal propósito de la llamada “poética de la estampa”.Acogiendo esta conceptualización de la “estampa” presente en el pensamiento estético de Juan Benet, Imperiale realiza una nueva cala hermenéutica de la narrativa benetiana a la luz de las teorías sobre la imagen de Walter Benjamin y Didi-Huberman. En concreto, Didi-Huberman descubrió en el seno de la historia del arte, cómo cuando contemplaba un fresco de Beato Angelico en el convento de San Marcos de Florencia, unas gotas de color sobre el fresco le hicieron evocar las técnicas pictóricas del artista contemporáneo Jackson Pollock. Esta anécdota, de la que parten las ideas de Didi-Huberman a propósito de la sobredeterminación temporal de la imagen, sirven como punto de arranque para las investigaciones en la narrativa de Benet, en tanto que esos fragmentos o chispazos visuales sin una lógica temporal se dejan sentir en su prosa a partir de un pensamiento fenomenológico, una suerte de visualidad que los narradores de Benet plasman al condensar distintos tiempos evocados en un mismo espacio.
Viendo el sentido: similitudes y juegos sígnicos en Magritte
Authors: De Salvador Agra Saleta
Published: April 2018

La pintura de Magritte, calificada como una forma de hacer visibile lo invisible, se presenta como un lugar desde el cual re-pensar los juegos de la representación, de la percepción, de la interpretación y del funcionamiento del sentido. La concepción sígnica subyacente a sus cuadros nos permitirá poner en primer plano la crítica al concepto de semejanza representativa, en un recorrido que va desde Peirce, pasando por Eco, hasta la propuesta de similitud anunciada por el propio Magritte y ampliada por Foucault.
Alegorías de la escritura: del signo al símbolo en la poesía de Andrés Sánchez Robayna
Authors: Romero Velasco Pablo
Published: April 2018

La poesía de Andrés Sánchez Robayna (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1952) siempre ha estado gobernada por dos principios: la metáfora del mundo como texto que determina la fuerte experimentación lingüística de sus primeros libros, y la concepción de la poesía como vehículo de conocimiento trascendente, lo que liga su obra a la tradición de José Ángel Valente, María Zambrano y la poesía mística.Este artículo parte de estos dos principios para estudiar detenidamente los usos retóricos de los poemas de Robayna, y precisar la concepción del lenguaje poético que se ofrece en ellos; concretamente, su capacidad para crear, recrear, o representar experiencias trascendentales. Recurriendo a ciertas consideraciones teóricas acerca de la naturaleza del lenguaje simbólico y su relación con la alegoría, se describe la evolución de su obra como el paso de una poesía metalingüística a un lenguaje simbólico.

Purpose: The present prospective cross sectional study was aimed to access the prevalence and trend of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in different age groups and gender, in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. Tuberculosis is a disease of poverty affecting mostly young adults in their most productive years; however, all age groups are at risk.Method: The study population consisted of patients under DOT program with MDR-TB among males and females and in different categories of age groups. The data was collected from 100 MDR-TB patients from 7800 TB patients that were admitted in duration of 6 months and analyzed to evaluate the drug resistance associated with patient’s noncompliance. Moreover, drugs resistance ratio was also calculated from the data.Results: TB is a specific infectious disease, caused by M. tuberculosis strains, which is becoming resistant to anti-tuberculosis agents especially to Isoniazid and Rifampicin that are two key drugs of TB treatment and are termed as MDR-TB. The disease was seen in 66% males and 34% in female. The highest drug resistance ratio was in found in adults (age group).
In vitro effect of ozone in phagocytic function of leucocytes in peripheral blood.
Authors: Diaz-Luis Jacqueline , Menendez-Cepero Silvia , Diaz-Luis Arturo , Ascanio-Garcia Yudenia
Published: April 2018

Introduction.
The ozone immune modulation is based on its effect on the immune system and oxidative metabolism. When whole human blood is exposed to the appropriate ozone doses, we can observe in the cells different biochemical reactions that in turn are able to improve the immunity mechanism.

Objectives.
The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of ozone on blood phagocytosis.

Methods.
Blood samples of 30 mL were taken from five healthy male blood donors in the morning, and were subdivided in 6 glass tubes of 5 mL each (control, oxygen and 4 ozone groups). A volume of 5 mL ozone/oxygen mixture at different ozone concentrations (10, 20, 40 and 80 µg/mL) was collected with glass syringes. There after the gas was immediately bubbled in the blood samples. Syringes were slowly but continuously mixed in shaker with stirring, during 10 min allowing a complete mixing of the liquid–gas phases with minimal foaming. Two of the above blood samples were used as controls: the first sample blood and the second blood treated with oxygen only. Phagocytic cell function was assessed by direct microscopic Baehner method. The results were analyzed by paired T test; significance was defined as a value less than 0.05.

Results.
After ozonation, phagocytic function increase with significant differences in comparison with controls groups (p=0.04). Respect to the ozone concentrations, the phagocytic function increased at 20 µg/mL and even more at 40 µg/mL, but decrease with 80 µg/mL. However, there were no significant differences in phagocytic function in the blood exposed to 10 µg/mL in comparison with controls.

Conclusion.
Ozone may stimulate the phagocytic function of the peripheral blood cells in a dose-dependent fashion.

Published: April 2018

A ten year-old mare, 320 kg, was referred with signs of lameness and reluctance to ambulate. On clinical examination, animal showed signs of shifting weight lameness on the forelimbs, presence of palpable supracoronary depressions and severe signs of pain with hoof test pressure over the sole on right forelimb. Digital pulses and temperature of the hoof were thought to be within normal limits. On inspection it was possible to observe a short extension of the toe and solar prolapse with hoof capsule distortion. Radiologic measurements showed displacement of the distal phalanx (30o). The animal was diagnosed with Obel grade IV chronic laminitis on the right foot. Therapeutic protocol established included exclusively corrective trimming and intramuscular, peritendinous and intrarectal administration of oxygen/ozone therapy as anti-inflammatory therapy. Oxygen/ozone therapy sessions were performed twice a week, for a total of 20 sessions. Six months after original presentation, the mare demonstrated clinical improvement with an improved body condition and better ambulation. Radiologic evaluation showed a normal relationship between the dorsal hoof wall and the distal phalanx.
Acrokeratoelastoidosis of the Foot with Clinical, Dermoscopic, Ultrasonographic, and Histopathologic Correlation
Authors: Uribe Pablo , Ortiz Elena , Wortsman Ximena , Gonzalez Sergio
Published: April 2018

Acrokeratoelastoidosis (AKE) is a rare form of focal acral keratoderma of unknown cause that typically begins during childhood and manifests with multiple, small, hyperkeratotic papules located over the lateral margins of the hands and feet. The purpose of this article is to report a pediatric case of AKE with dermoscopic, sonographic, and histopathologic descriptions, contributing to the awareness of this clinical diagnosis. We describe a 7-year-old girl with nonpainful yellowish papules on the lateral and medial aspects of both feet. Dermoscopy showed yellowish, structureless, linear areas. The sonographic appearance was suggestive of benignancy and ruled out the presence of piezogenic pedal papules and granulomas. Histopathology was consistent with AKE, showing acral skin with hyperorthokeratosis, hypergranulosis, and elastorrhexis in the reticular dermis. Acrokeratoelastoidosis may be difficult to recognize clinically because of its resemblance to other focal acral keratodermas. Color Doppler ultrasound can be a useful noninvasive tool for diagnosis and can confirm its benign appearance, although histopathology confirms the definitive diagnosis. To date, the dermoscopic description and ultrasound morphology of AKE have not been reported.
Use of Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane Allografts in More Than 100 Patients with Six Major Types of Refractory Nonhealing Wounds
Authors: Garoufalis Matthew , Nagesh Darshan , Sanchez Patrick J. , Lenz Robin , Park Sarah J. , Ruff Jake G. , Tien Anna , Goldsmith Justin , Seat Andrea
Published: April 2018

Background:

Biochemical properties of the amniotic membrane help modulate inflammation and enhance soft-tissue healing. In controlled trials, the efficacy of dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) allografts has been established. Our purpose is to describe our experience with using dHACM to treat nonhealing wounds of various etiologies.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective review of deidentified data from 117 consecutive patients treated in an outpatient clinic with dHACM allografts with wounds of various etiologies over 2 years. The decision to use advanced wound-care treatments is based on rate of healing observed after initiation of standard wound care and patient risk factors. Eligibility for treatments such as amniotic membrane allografts includes wounds without 50% reduction after 4 weeks, or earlier in patients deemed to be at high risk for nonhealing or with a history of chronic wounds. In micronized or sheet formulation, dHACM is applied to the wound weekly after sharp/mechanical debridement as necessary, and wound-care practices appropriate for wound type and location are continued.

Results:

Thirty-four percent of allograft recipients had diabetic foot ulcers, 25% had venous leg ulcers, 20% had surgical wounds, 14% had pressure ulcers, 6% had ischemic wounds, and 2% had traumatic wounds. Complete healing occurred in 91.1% of treated patients, with a mean ± SD number of weekly applications per healed wound of 5.1 ± 4.2.

Conclusions:

In addition to wounds of diabetic origin, dHACM can significantly expedite healing in refractory wounds of varying etiologies.
Dynamic representation of 3D auditory space in the midbrain of the free-flying echolocating bat
Authors: Kothari Ninad B , Wohlgemuth Melville J , Moss Cynthia F
Published: April 2018

Essential to spatial orientation in the natural environment is a dynamic representation of direction and distance to objects. Despite the importance of 3D spatial localization to parse objects in the environment and to guide movement, most neurophysiological investigations of sensory mapping have been limited to studies of restrained subjects, tested with 2D, artificial stimuli. Here, we show for the first time that sensory neurons in the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) of the free-flying echolocating bat encode 3D egocentric space, and that the bat’s inspection of objects in the physical environment sharpens tuning of single neurons, and shifts peak responses to represent closer distances. These findings emerged from wireless neural recordings in free-flying bats, in combination with an echo model that computes the animal’s instantaneous stimulus space. Our research reveals dynamic 3D space coding in a freely moving mammal engaged in a real-world navigation task.
Glutamatergic drive along the septo-temporal axis of hippocampus boosts prelimbic oscillations in the neonatal mouse
Authors: Ahlbeck Joachim , Song Lingzhen , Chini Mattia , Bitzenhofer Sebastian H , Hanganu-Opatz Ileana L
Published: April 2018

The long-range coupling within prefrontal-hippocampal networks that account for cognitive performance emerges early in life. The discontinuous hippocampal theta bursts have been proposed to drive the generation of neonatal prefrontal oscillations, yet the cellular substrate of these early interactions is still unresolved. Here, we selectively target optogenetic manipulation of glutamatergic projection neurons in the CA1 area of either dorsal or intermediate/ventral hippocampus at neonatal age to elucidate their contribution to the emergence of prefrontal oscillatory entrainment. We show that despite stronger theta and ripples power in dorsal hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex is mainly coupled with intermediate/ventral hippocampus by phase-locking of neuronal firing via dense direct axonal projections. Theta band-confined activation by light of pyramidal neurons in intermediate/ventral but not dorsal CA1 that were transfected by in utero electroporation with high-efficiency channelrhodopsin boosts prefrontal oscillations. Our data causally elucidate the cellular origin of the long-range coupling in the developing brain.

Rhinochelys amabertiMoret (1935), a protostegid turtle from the Early Cretaceous of France
Authors: Scavezzoni Isaure , Fischer Valentin
Published: April 2018

Modern marine turtles (chelonioids) are the remnants of an ancient radiation that roots in the Cretaceous. The oldest members of that radiation are first recorded from the Early Cretaceous and a series of species are known from the Albian-Cenomanian interval, many of which have been allocated to the widespread but poorly defined genusRhinochelys, possibly concealing the diversity and the evolution of early marine turtles. In order to better understand the radiation of chelonioids, we redescribe the holotype and assess the taxonomy ofRhinochelys amabertiMoret (1935) (UJF-ID.11167) from the Late Albian (Stoliczkaia disparZone) of the Vallon de la Fauge (Isère, France). We also make preliminary assessments of the phylogenetic relationships of Chelonioidea using two updated datasets that widely sample Cretaceous taxa, especiallyRhinochelys.Rhinochelys amabertiis a valid taxon that is supported by eight autapomorphies; an emended diagnosisis proposed. Our phylogenetic analyses suggest thatRhinochelyscould be polyphyletic, but constraining it as a monophyletic entity does not produce trees that are significantly less parsimonious. Moreover, support values and stratigraphic congruence indexes are fairly low for the recovered typologies, suggesting that missing data still strongly affect our understanding of the Cretaceous diversification of sea turtles.
Vulnerabilidade externa e endividamento interno: uma interpretação keynesiana sobre as origens da dívida interna brasileira
Authors: Casa Carlos Alberto Lanzarini
Published: April 2018

A associação entre vulnerabilidade externa e endividamento interno, dentro de uma perspectiva keynesiana para o caso da dívida interna brasileira, origina-se das comparações entre as análises de Keynes sobre a crise alemã dos anos 20 e os processos de endividamento externo e interno brasileiro nos anos 80 e 90. Daí a constatação da relação direta entre desequilíbrio interno oriundo de um desequilíbrio externo, conforme afirmado por Keynes. O mecanismo de transmissão desse processo, no caso brasileiro, correspon-deu às operações de esterilização, um instrumento da política monetária, cuja prática se dava através de elevadas taxas de juros. A eclosão, nessas décadas, das crises agudas de vulnerabilidade externa estratificou-se como o retrato do estrangulamento das finanças públicas proveniente da incidência cumulativa de juros sobre a rolagem da dívida interna, independente de qualquer motivação concreta de alguma suposta expansão fiscal primária.
Determinantes do crescimento econômico desigual entre as regiões brasileiras: uma avaliação da produtividade, da inovação e do gap tecnológico nos anos 1990 e 2000
Authors: Galeano Edileuza Aparecida , Feijó Carmem
Published: April 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir os determinantes do crescimento econômico nas regiões brasileiras nos anos 1990 e 2000, analisando a produtividade, a inovação e o gap tecnológico. O modelo utilizado baseia-se na modelagem desenvolvida por León-Ledesma (2002), onde a produtividade do trabalho, estimulada pela demanda, desempenha papel determinante no processo de crescimento econômico. As equações do mo-delo de León-Ledesma foram modificadas a fim de se adequar ao conjunto de dados regionais disponíveis para análise brasileira. A base de dados foi formada com dados dos 26 Estados do Brasil. Os resultados confirmam a influência positiva do efeito acumulativo do crescimento e do efeito da demanda sobre a produtividade. A taxa de investimento e a inovação foram confirmadas como importantes para o aumento da produtividade.
EXPLICITAÇÃO DOS DISCURSOS DE CRIMES COM SUSPEITA DE MOTIVAÇÃO HOMOFÓBICA EM JORNAIS DO ESTADO DO AMAZONAS
Authors: Toscano Isaac Guidão , Melo Lucilene Ferreira
Published: April 2018

Objetiva-se analisar os discursos sobre homicídios a pessoas não heterossexuais, noticiados nos Estado do amazonas no período de 2010 á 2012. A pesquisa ancorou-se no método de análise do discurso a partir da arqueogenealogia foucaultiana em diálogo com a produção de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros filiados à Teoria Queer.  Evidenciou-se a propalação do discurso jornalístico presente nos crimes suspeitos de motivação homofóbica através dos jornais: A crítica e Diário 24 horas, em versões impressas e on line. Dentre os resultados destaca-se a sutil reiteração de enunciados estigmatizantes das sexualidades não heterossexuais, tais como a repatologização e a moralização da conduta sexual presentes no discurso dos jornais amazonenses. Evidenciam-se ainda, as estratégias jornalísticas de reiteração de verdades dos seres abjetos à heteronormatividade.
A PROBLEMÁTICA DA VOZ FEMININA NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,";serif";; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: PT-BR; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">A questão feminina está em evidência no mundo ocidental, mas não apenas nele. É interessante, então, analisar suas singularidades no âmbito da literatura, uma vez que esse tema constitui uma reivindicação presente na construção literária. Assim, na contemporaneidade, a partir da valorização de um discurso literário polifônico, torna-se audível, principalmente nas narrativas construídas por mulheres, a enunciação de um feminino requerendo a legitimação do seu discurso. Eleva-se, assim, uma enunciação que se propõe uma fala de viés igualitário. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,";serif";; mso-fareast-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-ansi-language: PT-BR; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Empregando o recurso da autoconsciência, as autoras inscrevem traços que evidenciam a problemática da representação da voz feminina que busca a legitimidade de seu sujeito e o reconhecimento da sua subjetividade em cada espaço literário. A busca peculiar a essas autoras é que elas inserem na sua malha textual questões pertinentes à representação do feminino na contemporaneidade, bem como os discursos sobre esse feminino, a implosão do sujeito e da voz da escrita. Em um momento em que as mudanças de saberes acontecem em intervalos cada vez mais curtos, a representação da voz feminina merece uma atenção especial.
Cotas Raciais na UFSC: Trajetórias e Projetos em um novo Campo de Possibilidades
Authors: Sagaz Gabriela Solange
Published: April 2018

As ações afirmativas enquanto Cotas Raciais foram inseridas no vestibular da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina no ano de 2007. Em 2012, a Lei 12.711/12 aprovada pela Câmara Federal realizou modificações significativas nas Ações Afirmativas da Universidade. Este artigo objetiva, através da análise de entrevistas narrativas, apresentar as trajetórias escolares, projetos e consequências na vida dos alunos cotistas que optaram por cotas raciais no vestibular da UFSC. Sugere-se que as Cotas Raciais não apenas viabilizam a concretização de projetos individuais, mas ampliam o campo de possibilidades e os projetos destes jovens.  
Serviço Social e Movimento LGBT: promoção à cidadania de crianças e adolescentes no combate à violência de gênero nas escolas
Authors: Medeiros Mônica De Melo , Neto Francisco Dos Santos
Published: April 2018

O presente artigo buscar fazer reflexões sobre como o Assistente Social formado sob a égide das Diretrizes Curriculares (2002) enquanto profissional que intervém nas refrações da Questão Social a luz do materialismo histórico dialético, poderá pensar estratégias de superação das múltiplas violências sofridas por LGBTS em ambiente escolar. Nesse sentido, a partir de imposições historicamente colocadas em nossa sociedade de que os sujeitos devem ter seus corpos e orientações sexuais padronizados em uma lógica heterossexista, busca-se neste momento identificar e problematizar onde se inserem os LGBTS na atual conjuntura de retrocessos vividos na sociedade brasileira, e como o Serviço Social vem pensando essas demandas na contemporaneidade. Para isso realizamos pesquisa bibliográfica de autores clássicos e contemporâneos que possibilitaram fazer uma discussão epistemológica sobre vulnerabilização de identidades não heterossexuais e as possibilidades de superação deste quadro.

A Subversão de Gênero e o Gênero da Subversão
Authors: Cardoso Jéssica Matos , Soares Alex Sales , Lucas Lima Carlos Henrique
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho, fundamentado nos Estudos Queer, tem por objetivo realizar uma discussão conceitual sobre a subversão de gênero e em que medida ela se faz importante. Ou seja: é a subversão de gênero necessária? Se sim, necessária a quê(m)? No artigo, destacamos que os regimes que regulam os gêneros e as sexualidades, aos quais daremos foco conceitualmente neste texto, notadamente a heteronormatividade, produzem violências e exclusões, no sentido de que criam modelos dominantes de existência, os quais naturalizam e hierarquizam as formas de ser e estar no mundo.
