A FORMAÇÃO PARA O TRABALHO: O PAPEL DOS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS NA PRODUÇÃO DOS NOVOS INTELECTUAIS
Authors: Mota Karla Rodrigues , Araújo Cláudia Helena dos Santos , Santos Bruno Gonçalves dos
Published: July 2018

O presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre a possibilidade da formação para o trabalho atuar como instrumento de libertação dos trabalhadores. À luz da contribuição teórica oferecida por Marx, Engels, Gramsci e Lukács compreende-se que o trabalho é o elemento determinante na diferenciação do homem frente aos demais animais e na (re)construção da específica e particular natureza humana, convertendo o ser natural em ser social. As transformações sociais ocorridas sob o modo de produção capitalista distorcem o real sentido do trabalho, tornando a atividade executada pelo homem instrumento de alienação e aprisionamento. Ao se eleger o trabalho, na sua dimensão histórico-ontológica, como princípio educativo, tem-se a possibilidade de permitir à classe trabalhadora produzir os seus próprios intelectuais e, portando, sua própria ideologia. Inicialmente, este estudo apresenta as dimensões históricas e ontológicas do trabalho, em seguida, discute a formação dos intelectuais orgânicos por meio da escola unitária gramsciana, por fim, reflete sobre a existência do gérmen desta perspectiva formativa dentro dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia, concluindo que estas intituições podem se configurar como um modelo contra-hegemônico de educação profissional capaz de apontar o horizonte do “reino da liberdade” para a classe trabalhadora.

Viewpoint: When Will AI Exceed Human Performance? Evidence from AI Experts
Authors: Grace Katja , Salvatier John , Dafoe Allan , Zhang Baobao , Evans Owain
Published: July 2018

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will transform modern life by reshaping transportation, health, science, finance, and the military. To adapt public policy, we need to better anticipate these advances. Here we report the results from a large survey of machine learning researchers on their beliefs about progress in AI. Researchers predict AI will outperform humans in many activities in the next ten years, such as translating languages (by 2024), writing high-school essays (by 2026), driving a truck (by 2027), working in retail (by 2031), writing a bestselling book (by 2049), and working as a surgeon (by 2053). Researchers believe there is a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks in 45 years and of automating all human jobs in 120 years, with Asian respondents expecting these dates much sooner than North Americans. These results will inform discussion amongst researchers and policymakers about anticipating and managing trends in AI.

Unsaturated hydraulic properties of vegetated soil under single and mixed planting conditions
Authors: Ni Junjun , Leung Anthony K. , Ng Charles W. W.
Published: July 2018

Effects of plant roots on changes of soil hydraulic properties, including soil water retention curves (SWRC) and soil hydraulic conductivity functions (SHCF), are not well understood, especially when soil is unsaturated and vegetated with multiple plant species. The aim of this note is to quantify the root effects on both SWRC and SHCF of silty sand using the instantaneous profile method. Four types of vegetated soil, namely bare, grass-only, tree-only and mixed tree–grass silty sand, were subjected to a controlled drying–wetting cycle in a plant room. Plant roots affect the air-entry value, saturated hydraulic conductivity and reduction rate of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (with respect to suction) most significantly, but the roots do not affect the reduction rate of volumetric water content much. When planted with single species (grass or tree), the air-entry value of silty sand increased, while the saturated hydraulic conductivity and reduction rate of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity with suction decreased. However, under the mixed planting conditions, opposite results are found.

Published: July 2018

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation that was carried out with the aim of obtaining the load–displacement behaviour, ultimate strengths and failure modes of hollow and concrete-filled, high-strength, glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubes under axial and eccentric compression. The tubes that were used contained reinforcements at ±45° to the tube axis while self-compacting concrete (SCC) was used for the infill. The main parameters considered were column length, cross-section and load-eccentricity. A total 36 GFRP tubes, with cross-sections of 100 mm × 100 mm and 75 mm × 100 mm, were tested at lengths of 0·7 m and 1·3 m. Out of these, four were hollow GFRP tubes that were loaded concentrically. Eccentricities of 0, 5, 10 and 15 mm were considered for the concrete-filled tubes tested under axial load. It was observed that filling the tubes with SCC improved their stiffness, strength and ductility although the failure mode was still brittle akin to the behaviour of hollow tubes. The ends of the column specimens were found to be preferential locations for failure under both concentric and eccentric loading. It was also found that the in-filled concrete was able to utilise an enhanced compressive strength due to the confinement provided by the tube, although this effect decreased with eccentricity.

The Site-direction Conjugation Achieved by Reactive Cysteine ?in Antibody-drug Conjugation Development v1
Authors: Smith Bella
Published: July 2018

Antibody drugs have become the mainstay of modern biopharmaceutical development with high specificity, high stability and low toxicity. In anti-tumor therapy, antibody drugs have also become standard therapies but the efficacy of single antibody drug is still far from satisfactory. In recent years, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), the conjugation of antibodies and small molecule drugs, have made great progress to develop into a new antibody tumor therapy. The ADC drug connects the cytotoxic drug (payload) to the monoclonal antibody through a small molecule linker and relies on the unique localization of the monoclonal antibody to bind the drug and kill the cancer cell, making up for the side effects of the cytotoxic drug and the weak effect of the monoclonal antibody.

The aim of the study was to increase the efficacy of treatment of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) using concomitant noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and inhalational nebulized therapy (INT). Methods. Patients with COPD were treated with concomitant NIV and INT (n = 50) or with NIV followed by INT after weaning the patients from ventilator (n = 49). Duration of the patient’s stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was used to assess the efficacy of the treatment. The two therapeutic approaches were compared using blood gas analysis (partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) and carbon dioxide (PCO2) in the arterial blood and pulse oximetry. The target blood gas value indicating the efficacy of the therapy was pO2 > 60 mm Hg. Results. In 1 hour of the treatment, this outcome measure was achieved in 86% (n = 43) and in 59% (n = 29) of patients in the groups of concomitant vs consequent NIV + INT treatment, respectively (χ2 = 8.98; p = 0.0027). PO2 differed insignificantly in both groups and was < 45 mm Hg in 31 (62%) and 36 (73%) of patients, respectively (χ2 = 1.49 p = 0.22225), after 1 hour if the treatment. Pulse oximetry did not change in patients with the increase in PO2; this could be due to a low informative value of SaO2 during the intensive care of AECOPD. Conclusion. The concomitant use of NIV + INT in patients with AECOPD allowed 1.5-fold improvement in blood gas parameters during the first hour of the treatment. This could improve the treatment efficacy, avoid the need in invasive ventilation, and shorten the patient’s stay in ICU. Therefore, the blood gas parameters are more preferable for the choice of the type of respiratory support compared to the pulse oximetry in patients with AECOPD.

Published: July 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate a role of impulse oscillometry (IO) for diagnosis of restrictive abnormalities in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Methods. Seventy two patients with restrictive ventilatory disorders diagnosed with spirometry and body plethysmography were involved in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: the group 1 (n = 34) comprised IPF patients, the group 2 (n = 38) comprised patients with respiratory diseases without extended pulmonary fibrosis. Data of spirometry, body plethysmography, lung diffusion test, and IO were analyzed. Results. IO was the most informative method for diagnosis of restrictive abnormalities in IPF patients: abnormal values, predominantly deltaXrs5, were found in 68% of the patients. IO was less useful in patients with non-fibrotic respiratory diseases where abnormal basic IO values were found in 39% of the patients. Decreased Xrs5, increased fres, unchanged Rrs5 and Rrs20, and abnormal absolute frequency dependence of Rrs were found in IPF patients with restrictive abnormalities; these changes could be seen in any respiratory disease with TLC ≤ 69%pred. Moreover, abnormal relative frequency dependence of Rrs (D(Rrs5–Rrs20)/Rrs20%) was detected. Conclusion. IO could be used as additional method for detecting restrictive abnormalities in patients with significant fibrotic lesions of the lungs.

Clearing shrubland as a strategy to encourage extensive livestock farming in the Mediterranean mountains
Authors: Lasanta T. , Nadal-Romero E. , García-Ruiz J.M.
Published: July 2018

The European Mediterranean highlands have undergone a sharp economic decline from the mid-20th century, causing heavy environmental impacts and loss of ecosystem services. These mountain areas have limited opportunities to integrate into in the current financial system, which demands high productivity from workers and a very competitive product. Extensive livestock farming is one of the few activities able to survive in this context, as it needs little labour and can make use of poor grazing resources.In the north-west Iberian Range, northern Spain, the Leza valley (La Rioja) is showing a growing interest in developing extensive livestock farming. To this end, the regional Government is implementing a pasture regeneration plan for clearing shrubland. Since 1986, almost 30% of the shrubs have been cleared, mainly abandoned fields recolonized by Genista scorpius on lime substrate, and Cistus laurifolius on siliceous substrate. This has increased the available pasture, as the average production in G. scorpius areas has risen from 4566 Mj ha-1 yr-1 (δ ± 1271) to 10,167.3 Mj ha-1 yr-1 (δ ± 2850.3), and on C. laurifolius areas from 2435 Mj ha-1 yr-1 (δ ± 492) to 7628.6 Mj ha-1 yr-1 (δ ± 1428.2). The livestock numbers show an upward trend, going from 1833.9 LU in 1972 to 7207.8 LU in 2017, with a simultaneous increase in the size of farms (27.6 LU in 1972 and 115.2 LU in 2017). In addition, new livestock farms established by people from outside the study area (41.7% in 2017). Finally, there is a discussion on the environmental benefits provided by extensive livestock farming.

Authors: Solak İbrahim , Yıldırım Duygu İlke , Gümüş Fatma , Eren İbrahim , Eryılmaz Mehmet Ali
Published: July 2018

Objective: Smoking prevalence is
high in many psychiatric diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate
depression and anxiety effect among smoking cessation treatment.Methods: Records of patients who
admitted to the smoking cessation clinic in Health Sciences University, Konya
Education and Research Hospital, in 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. A
total of 560 patients’ records were investigated. Records consisted of Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS), Fagerström
Nicotine Dependence Test (FNDT), carbon-monoxide (CO) measurement, and
sociodemographic questionnaire form. Patients were called by phone at the 3rd
month following initiation of cessation treatment,
and asked whether they quit smoking or not. Although this study was started
with total 560 patients, the study was completed with 517 patients who could be
reached by telephone 3 months later.Results: The mean age of
quitters was higher than the ones who could not
(p=0.002). Contrary, the mean CO levels (p<0.001), and the mean BDS
(p<0.001) and BAS (p<0.001) scores were significantly higher in patients
who failed to quit. Remaining characteristics of the patients were not
statistically different between groups.Conclusions: High depression and
anxiety scores decreases the success rates of smoking cessation treatments.
Assessment of these patients regarding anxiety and depression, providing
psychosocial counselling by health professionals
together with the medical treatment, and consulting with a psychiatrist when
needed are important steps for achieving high quit success in these patients.

Objective. To determine the relationship between the thickness of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and the serum concentration of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) with the severity of left atrial myocardial fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to define the role of these factors in atrial fibrillation (AF) development.

Design and methods. The study included 258 patients: patients with MS without AF (n = 57), patients with MS and AF (n = 83), patients with AF without MS (n = 36), and otherwise healthy subjects without cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders (n = 82). Serum level of TGF-beta1 was assessed by ELISA. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EAT) was measured by ultrasound on the Vivid 7 apparatus (General Electric, USA). To assess fibrosis we constructed anatomical and amplitude maps of the left atrium (LA) using the non-fluoroscopic electro-anatomical mapping system CARTO3 (Biosense Webster, USA)

Results. EAT in patients with MS and AF is higher than in patients with MS without AF (4,7 ± 1,9 and 4,2 ± 1,6 mm, respectively, p = 0,023), higher than in patients with AF without MS (4,7 ± 1,9 and 4,3 ± 1,7 mm, p = 0,01) and significantly higher than in healthy subjects (4,7 ± 1,9 and 2,3 ± 0,9 mm, respectively, p < 0,001). The EAT positively correlated with the percentage of fibrosis of LA estimated by the mapping method (r = 0,549, p < 0,0001). The serum concentration of TGF-beta1 in patients with AF and MS was 6700,2 [2588,4, 17500,3] pg/ml. It was 4,7 times higher than in healthy subjects (p < 0,0001), 2,6 times higher than in patients with MS without AF and higher than in patients with AF without MS. Positive correlations were found between TGF-beta1 and LA volume (r = 0,203, p = 0,03). Binomial regression analysis showed that the probability of AF presence in patients with MS was higher when traditional predictors of this arrhythmia were present — the volume of the LA (odds ratio (OR) = 1,092, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1,026–1,162, p = 0,005), systolic blood pressure (OR = 1,093, 95% CI 1,021–1,169, p = 0,01), as well as EAT (OR = 2,21, 95% CI 1,111–4,386, p = 0,024) and TGF-beta1 (OR = 1,01, 95% CI 1,006–1,015, p = 0,002).

Conclusions.Thickness of epicardial adipose tissue and transforming growth factor beta1 are associated with AF also in MS. Probably, epicardial fat and transforming growth factor beta1 stimulate atrial myocardial fibrosis which is the risk factor of AF.

The equilibrium phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of a mixture of drugs and additives are information related to various possible interaction processes between components. Therefore, we conducted a study of the phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures of ketoprofen-succinic acid to estimate the types of interactions that may occur between these materials. The solid-liquid phase diagram of ketoprofen-succinic acid binary mixtures was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and composition of eutectic system was determined accurately using a Tamman diagram.

Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most important pathogen that causes bacterial wilt disease in eggplant and inhibits eggplant production. Improvement of eggplant varieties resistant to bacterial wilt can be accomplished through genetic manipulation. Regeneration of in vitro plants isone of the important tools to supports plant improvementthrough biotechnology. This study was aimed to determine the rate of eggplant regeneration in various maturation media, and to find the best medium for eggplant regeneration based on maturation rate and the number of cotyledon produced. We used resistant eggplant (accession 032) as the material to produce somatic embryogenic.There were 7 types of regeneration media used in this research. MS medium was supplemented with a certain concentration of plant growt regulators , such as: 1 mg / L + BAP 1 mg / L, NAA 4mg / L, TDZ 0.005 mg / L, TDZ 0.001 mg / L, CuSO4 2mM + BAP 1 mg / L, CuSO4 2mM + BAP 2 mg / L and Kinetin 1 mg / L + CuSO4 2mM. Three clumps of callus per plate with three replications were transferred to MS suplemented medium. The parameters observed were the color of callus before and after they were transfered to regeneration medium, the day of formation of globular, heart-shaped, tubular and cotyledonary phase, and the number of cotyledons formed. The results obtained showed the somatic embryogenic color of the 032 genotype was white with friable structure before being transferred to regeneration medium and was turned to yellowish white after being transferred to the regeneration medium. On the day sixth, friable embryogenic somatic of eggplant was developed into nodule on medium MS + NAA 4 mg / L, MS + CuSO4 2mM + BAP medium 1 mg / L, and MS + CuSO4 2mM + BAP 2 mg / L. Somatic embryogenic callus of accession 032 were able to pass complete globular, heart-shaped, tubular and cotyledonary phase. The most responsive medium for somatic embryogenic callus regeneration, based on the days of the callus phases formation and the number of early-phase cotyledons obtained, were MS medium suplemented with CuSO4 2mM + BAP,and CuSO4 2 mM + BAP 2 mg / L.Keywords: eggplant, Ralstonia solanacearum, regeneration, cotyledonary, clump, BAP

Perceptions of Public Health: The Challenges of Public Health Education Integration
Authors: Mehling Kendra , Jeong Su Jin
Published: July 2018

Public health seeks to protect and improve the health of communities through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, research for disease and injury prevention, and detection and control of infectious diseases. It is a population-focused science that works primarily with prevention strategies, policies implementation, service administration, and research. While this field seemingly contrasts with the field of clinical medicine—in which patients are treated on an individual level after becoming sick or injured—public health concepts regarding prevention are critical knowledge areas for any health professional. In recent years, public health courses have been incorporated into degree requirements for a variety of health-related professions; however, several studies have indicated that health professions students have negative attitudes toward these courses for a variety of reasons. Given the importance of public health as a crucial component of health profession education, it is important to understand how students’ perceptions of public health education are shaped to ensure effective integration.
AULAS DE PORTUGUÊS NA ERA DIGITAL: que dizem certos alunos?
Authors: Arapiraca Mary de Andrade , Beltrão Lícia Maria Freire , Oliveira Jurene Veloso dos Santos
Published: July 2018

O ensino de Português, numa dimensão histórica, é abordado sob diferentes concepções referentes à língua/linguagem que lhe trouxeram influências, conforme Geraldi (1984). A linguagem, como forma de interação, concepção que revoluciona o ensino de Português, impõe outro tratamento metodológico desse objeto, em que o uso social da língua, em situações relativas ao falar, ouvir, ler e escrever, poderia ganhar importância. A essa concepção se agrega outra, com o alargamento do mundo textual digital, exigindo o redimensionamento metodológico do ensino do objeto aludido. Que dizem certos alunos sobre isso?  Essa intenção move o artigo em questão, tendo as reflexões de Soares (2002; 2009;), Rojo e Barbosa (2015), Coscarelli e Ribeiro (2011), Xavier (2008), Lévy (2010), entre outros, como base.

CINE Y FOLKCOMUNICACIÓN: un análisis a partir de la película “Coco”
Authors: Aguilar Cristian Yáñez , Gunther Arturo Figueroa
Published: July 2018

El presente artículo reflexiona desde la perspectiva de la folkcomunicación en torno a la apropiación de la cultura popular mexicana por parte de la industria cinematográfica de Hollywood a través de la premiada película Cóco. A partir de una caracterización cualitativa y un análisis basado en la teoría folkcomunicación se propone como hipótesis que la película se apropia de un patrimonio cultural presente en México como es el Día de Muertos. Sin embargo, la festividad asociada a los difuntos forma parte de una base cultural que está presente  a lo largo de América Latina y en distintas culturas del mundo ante la expresión transversal de la muerte.
REPRESENTAÇÕES DE EXPRESSÕES POÉTICAS DO CANDOMBLÉ NA TV BAHIA
Authors: Silva Gisélia Castro
Published: July 2018

Este artigo analisa representações sobre expressões poéticas do candomblé em narrativas jornalísticas audiovisuais da TV Bahia, que difundem modos de ver e de pensar, atualizando, desse modo, o sincretismo religioso como fenômeno cultural próprio da Bahia. São ideias que reatualizam o pensamento dominante de negação das relações sociais de classe e raciais e que promovem cultura popular como festa, não no sentido das manifestações e expressões festivas que são parte da cultura afro-brasileira, mas tão somente como registro de eventos.
DISCURSO ANTICOMUNISTA: Apropriações e construções do jornalismo do interior de Santa Catarina e Paraná em 1964
Authors: Woitowicz Karina Janz , Schmitt Elaine
Published: July 2018

Este artigo se propõe a analisar o modo como a figura do comunista foi discursivamente significada pela imprensa do interior brasileiro durante o primeiro ano do golpe civil militar, em 1964. Para isso, foram utilizados os jornais Caiçara e O Comércio, fundados nas cidades de Porto União, Santa Catarina, e União da Vitória, Paraná, produtores de notícia durante o período político em questão. O aparato metodológico utilizado baseia-se na Análise de Discurso de linha francesa (PÊCHEUX, 2008; ORLANDI, 2010) e parte da concepção do jornalismo como atividade que pode, potencialmente, construir e significar socialmente a realidade (TUCHMAN, 1976; BERGER & LUCKMANN, 1998).

Durante o processo de análise discursiva de 39 textos diferentes, notou-se que os sentidos de Amazônia efetivam-se por meio de quatro categorias: “globalização econômica”, “poder simbólico”, “natureza imaginária” e “sociodiversidade artificial”. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que as ONGs Transnacionais Ambientalistas Greenpeace e WWF, utilizando-se de vários recursos discursivos, buscam produzir imagens da Amazônia de acordo com as suas perspectivas de mundo e impor a aceitação globalizada dessa imagem como realidade.
UM OLHAR CANETTIANO SOBRE O UNIVERSO FAMILIAR E SOCIAL
Authors: Bodnar Roseli , Schwertner Márcia Regina
Published: July 2018

Este estudo propõe um olhar sobre a dramaturgia do escritor búlgaro Elias Canetti (1905- 1994), prêmio Nobel de Literatura em 1981. A peça escolhida para análise é O casamento (Hochzeit), de 1932, a qual revela uma visão tragicômica e crítica do mundo e do sujeito modernos[1]. O texto dramático de Canetti, ao flertar com o psicodrama, impregna os diálogos das personagens com crueza e uma pesada realidade humana. Nesta abordagem, ao enfocarmos o processo criativo e estético e os temas desenvolvidos na peça em análise, partimos do pressuposto de que não há como falar da obra do autor sem remeter primeiro a sua trajetória, uma vez que há uma relação umbilical entre língua e pátria que também perpassa suas escolhas temáticas e sua dramaturgia.
 
[1] No presente artigo, a leitura do termo “moderno” deve seguir referências a ele efetuadas por Canetti, ou seja, moderno como sujeito da modernidade.
