Ecos de Alice e Lewis Carroll em Virgínia de Castro Almeida e Manuel António Pina
Authors: Silva Sara Raquel Duarte Reis da
Published: December 2019

Pretende-se, com este estudo, analisar algumas das manifestações intertextuais de raiz carrolliana na produção literária de dois importantes autores da literatura portuguesa para a infância e a juventude: Virgínia de Castro (1878-1945) e Almeida e Manuel António Pina (1943-2012). Situados em épocas e estéticas distantes, os textos de ambos reflectem a “sombra tutelar” de Aventuras de Alice no País das Maravilhas (1985) ou, genericamente, do mundo literário de Lewis Carroll (1832-1898). De obras como Aventuras de Dona Redonda e da Sua Gente (1942), de Virgínia de Castro e Almeida, ou Gigões & Anantes (1974), de Manuel António Pina, ressumam traços singulares como o nonsense, o absurdo, o tópico do mundo às avessas e o humor, bem como o uso original do paradoxo, da metáfora e do jogo de sentidos, entre outros, características sobre as quais centraremos a nossa atenção e que atestam a pervivência do legado carrolliano na literatura portuguesa.

Published: December 2019

Este trabalho teve por objetivo compreender a relevância do vínculo mãe-bebê para o desenvolvimento infantil na perspectiva de mães e gestantes. Para tal, foi utilizada a técnica do Psicodrama Interno, em que as participantes estabeleceram conversas com a mãe no passado, o filho atual e o filho no futuro; também utilizou-se questionário semiestruturado. Diante da realização da pesquisa, percebeu-se que as participantes entendem o papel de mãe como o papel de cuidar, proteger, apoiar, educar e amar, compreendendo que se constituem como exemplo. Além disso, há a ideia de que o que ocorre na gestação afeta tanto a formação do feto como o desenvolvimento de sua personalidade após o nascimento.
Asymptotic behaviour of a model of an age-sex-structured population dynamics
Authors: Skakauskas Vladas
Published: December 2019

This paper deals with a model of an age-sex-structured population consisting of male, single (nonfertilized) female and fertilized female subclasses taking into account random mating of sexes (during the coupling only), and females’ pregnancy. We analyze the special case of this model where death moduli can be decomposed into the sum of two terms: the first depends on age only and represents death by natural causes, while the second is a function of total population and represents environmental effects. For this model the separable solutions are presented and their asymptotic behaviour is demonstrated.
The Influence of the Diffusion Space Geometry on Behavior of some Processes in Biochemistry and Electrochemistry
Authors: Baronas R. , Ivanauskas F. , Kulys J. , Sapagovas M. , Survila A.
Published: December 2019

The reaction-diffusion and diffusion equations were applied for modelling of some processes in biochemistry and electrochemistry. Modelling of the amperometric biosensors based on carbon paste electrodes encrusted with a single nonhomogeneous microreactor is analyzed. The mathematical model of the biosensor operation is based on nonstationary reaction-diffusion equations containing a non-linear term given by Michaelis-Menten function. Modelling of a simple redox-electrode reaction, involving two soluble species, is also considered. The model of the electrode behavior, taking into account the resist layer of the partially blocked electrodes, was expressed as a system of differential equations of the diffusion type with initial and boundary conditions. The mathematical model generalizing both processes: biochemical and electrochemical is presented in this paper. The generalized problem was solved numerically. The finite-difference technique was used for discretisation of the model. Using the numerical solution of the generalized problem, the influence of the size, shape and position of a microreactor as well as the thickness of the resist layer on the current dynamics was investigated.

Published: December 2019

El abandono estudiantil es un fenómeno de carácter multifactorial que afecta sobre todo a poblaciones en condición de vulnerabilidad. Dado que el abandono se da en una mayor proporción en los primeros semestres, son los cursos introductorios los más afectados, y esta situación se aprecia, en particular, en el área de Matemática. Este artículo muestra los principales resultados de un estudio cuantitativo cuyo objetivo fue determinar, mediante un análisis de regresión logística múltiple, cuáles son los factores más relevantes relacionados con el abandono escolar en el curso de Matemática General de la Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica. La información fue obtenida mediante un cuestionario auto-administrado a 906 personas estudiantes matriculadas en el curso durante el primer ciclo de 2018. Los resultados muestran que la tenencia de beca y el rendimiento previo en secundaria actúan como factores protectores. Por su parte, la condición laboral, pertenecer a carreras del área de ingeniería, ser hombre y el estrato de procedencia se consideran factores de riesgo. Es necesario que la Universidad tome acciones que procuren aumentar los niveles de permanencia del estudiantado proveniente de contextos con menores oportunidades educativas, que brinden no solo acceso, sino acompañamiento durante el primer año de carrera. Para ello, se sugiere coordinar con otras instancias universitarias, establecer un programa de tutorías y evaluar un rediseño de contenidos del curso de Matemática General.

Authors: Silva Peralta Yamila , Rompato María Emilia
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo forma parte de un proyecto de investigación que tiene por objetivo conocer y analizar las competencias psicosociales emprendedoras que se generan en el ámbito de la educación superior. Así entonces, se parte de la dimensión de la internacionalización en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), este estudio presenta resultados sobre los desafíos que el estudiantado de grado declara transitar en su experiencia de movilidad internacional y el consecuente desarrollo de las mencionadas competencias. Mediante una metodología cualitativa, con un diseño fenomenológico y un enfoque etnometodológico fueron realizadas entrevistas en profundidad a una muestra intencional de 36 estudiantes de grado de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, quienes llevaron a cabo una movilidad internacional en los años 2016, 2017 o 2018. Las entrevistas versaron principalmente sobre la caracterización de los momentos pre movilidad, movilidad y post movilidad. Los resultados demuestran que debido a dicha experiencia el estudiantado sobrelleva desafíos culturales, lingüísticos, burocráticos, económicos y académicos, a partir de los cuales logran adquirir una mayor apertura mental ante experiencias nuevas, autoconocimiento, autonomía, capacidad resolutiva y una mirada crítica e integral. Se concluye que dicha experiencia no solo surte un efecto positivo a nivel individual, académico y profesional en el grupo de estudiantes que la realiza, sino que también es una importante estrategia institucional para reforzar la responsabilidad social universitaria, de cara a dar respuestas a las nuevas problemáticas sociales.

Published: December 2019

Este ensaio discute a pesquisa-ação crítica como um caminho profícuo para o diálogo entre universidade e escola de educação básica, considerando a indissociabilidade ensino-pesquisa-extensão. Os princípios epistemológicos formulados por Thiollent, Monceau e Franco, que caracterizam a pesquisa-ação como instância formativa e de intervenção, revelam-se apropriados, especialmente no atual momento em que as diversas formas de desqualificação da educação emancipadora alcançam as instituições de ensino, colocando em risco o papel da universidade como lugar do debate, da crítica e do diálogo teoricamente fundamentado. Com o aporte teórico de Freire propõe-se a construção de um pensamento crítico sobre o cenário educacional brasileiro a partir do diálogo entre universidade e educação básica, ampliando os espaços de participação nos debates sobre políticas e projetos educacionais.
Resumen: Este ensayo discute la investigación-acción crítica como un camino fructífero de asociación entre universidad y escuela primaria que puede fomentar la indisociabilidad de la enseñanza, investigación y extensión. Los principios epistemológicos formulados por Thiollent, Monceau y Franco resultan apropiados, especialmente en la actualidad cuando las diversas formas de descalificación de la educación emancipadora llegan a las instituciones educativas brasileñas, poniendo en peligro el papel de la universidad como lugar de crítica y diálogo teóricamente fundamentado. De esta manera, con el respaldo teórico de Freire, proponemos la construcción del pensamiento crítico sobre el escenario educativo brasileño, ampliando los espacios de discusión de políticas educativas con la integración entre universidad y escuela primaria.
Do universities train entrepreneurs?
Authors: Fernández Robin Cristóbal , Yáñez Diego , Santander Paulina
Published: December 2019

Higher education has a deep impact on the diversity and success of entrepreneurs. It is clear that educated entrepreneurs have an advantage over other entrepreneurs given their specialized knowledge. However, the effect of higher education on entrepreneurial intention has been less studied. Does higher education or the subject imparted affect the intention to start a business? This article proposes a model that adds two exogenous variables to the Theory of Planned Behavior. The first variable is formal education in entrepreneurship represented by Subject and Entrepreneurship, and the second one is the entrepreneur environment, represented by University and Entrepreneurship. The model analyzes both variables and their impact on Attitude and Perceived Control. Data for this quantitative study is collected from an online semi-structured questionnaire by 583 university students during October and November 2014. The reliability of the scales was assessed using Cronbach Alpha, while the model was tested using structural equations. Our results confirm that university’s entrepreneurial environment, as well as the subjects studied, do have an effect on entrepreneurial intention through attitude. Additionally, the influence of both variables through the Perceived Control was not significant. Consequently, higher education must go beyond theory and focus on fostering an environment that encourages and raises awareness of entrepreneurship.

Authors: Afiyah Novia Nurul , Solihin Iin , Lubis Ernani
Published: December 2019

Ikan merupakan salah satu komoditas produk segar yang mudah rusak. Kerusakan pada ikan dindikasikan adanya penurunan mutu pada ikan. Penurunan mutu ikan disebabkan beberapa aktivitas yang dimulai dari penangkapan hingga ke konsumen terutama pada proses rantai distribusi. Proses pengendalian mutu ikan tongkol sejak praproduksi sampai di konsumen belum diketahui. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh rantai distribusi terhadap mutu ikan tongkol dan menganalisa faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi mutu ikan tongkol selama proses distribusi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus terhadap mutu ikan. Selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan Uji-Kruskal Wallis (P<0.05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh rantai distribusi terhadap mutu ikan. Mutu ikan tongkol mengalami penurunan dari proses pendaratan hingga tiba di tangan konsumen tetapi keadaan mutu ikan masih layak untuk dikonsumsi. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi mutu ikan selama distribusi adalah sanitasi, hygienitas, transportasi dan cara penanganan oleh petugas. Rekomendasi Kebijakan adalah: (1) perlu adanya pengawasan dari pemerintah daerah dan pihak pelabuhan; (2) memberikan penyuluhan terhadap stakeholder cara menerapkan sistem rantai dingin, dan; (3) memberikan penyuluhan terhadap pelaku distribusi terkait mutu dan harga.Title: The Effect of Distribution Chain on The Quality of Tuna Mackerel (Euthynus sp.) from “PPP Blanakan” to Consumer AreaFish is an high perishable fresh commodity. Fish damage indicated by a decrease in fish quality. The decreased fish quality are caused by several activities from capture to consumer especially in the process of distribution chain. There is an unknown process of the quality control of tuna mackerel (Euthynus sp) during its distribution chain. The research aims to determine the effect of distribution chain to the fish quality and what factors affecting the quality of mackerel tuna during the distribution process. This research is a case study of fish quality. Data were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis-Test (P<0.05). The results showed that there is an influence of distribution chain on fish quality.

The influencing factors to the fish quality are sanitation, hygiene, transportation and handling method. Recommendation of the research are providing: (1) supervision from government and the harbor port; (2) Information to stakeholders regarding the implementation a cold chain system, and; (3) Training on fish quality and price to the distribution actors.
Exploring Meta-analysis for Historical Corpus Linguistics Based on Linked Data
Authors: Kesäniemi Joonas , Vartiainen Turo , Säily Tanja , Nevalainen Terttu
Published: December 2019

Empirical work on English historical corpus linguistics is plentiful but fragmented, and some of it is hard to come by. This paper proposes a solution for making it more accessible and reusable for meta-analysis. We present an online Language Change Database (LCD), which provides comparative, real-time baseline data from earlier corpus-based studies. LCD entries summarize the findings and include numerical data from the articles. We discuss the LCD from the perspective of database design and linked data management. Furthermore, we illustrate the reuse of LCD data through a meta-analysis of the history of English connectives. For this purpose, we have developed an application called the LCD Aggregated Data Analysis workbench (LADA). We show how researchers can use LADA to filter, refine and visualize LCD data. Thus we are paving the way for a future where both research results and research data are regularly available for verification, validation and re-use.

Adjusting Regression Models for Overfitting in Second Language Research
Authors: Hamrick Phillip
Published: December 2019

Regression modeling is an increasingly important quantitative tool for second language (L2) research. While superior in many ways to more traditional methods, such as ANOVA, regression modeling, like all procedures, still has limitations, ranging from small sample sizes to a lack of screening for outliers and influential data points (Plonsky and Ghanbar, 2018). Since these limitations are common features in L2 research, this raises concerns that existing studies using regression may overfit the data, perhaps inflating effect size estimates. These issues can be partially alleviated via robust statistics, such as validation. This paper provides L2 researchers with an overview of these issues and an instructive look at one robust validation method: bootstrapping.
How to Set Delta in the Two-One-Sided T-tests Procedure (TOST)
Authors: Juzek Tom S. , Kizach Johannes
Published: December 2019

The Two-One-Sided T-test procedure (TOST) is used to show that two samples are equivalent or similar, in contrast to classical statistical tests which check for dissimilarity. The TOST relies on a parameter called delta, which has to be set by the researcher using their intuition. Doing so can be difficult, because of complex interactions of relevant parameters. In this article we present a method to set delta, which is established and validated through extensive simulations based on real data sets from linguistics and other sciences. The presented method is shown to be sound and reliable, but we cannot exclude deviant early model behaviour (N?10) and deviant late model behaviour (N>100,000).
Analysis of the Production of Pronominal Constructions in Spanish in a Learner Corpus
Authors: Fernández Ana , Vázquez Glòria
Published: December 2019

It is a well-established fact that pronominal constructions are one of the most difficult areas for learners of Spanish as a second language (Tremblay, 2006, Toth, 2000). This study aims to contribute to the area of language learning and materials design by drawing a general picture of the production of pronominal constructions applying corpus linguistics methodology, following the recommendations of Zyzick (2006). The analysis has been carried out taking into consideration three aspects: the students’ L1, the semantics of each construction, and the type of errors found. In order to conduct our study, a corpus of 2,532 real pronominal sentences (written by learners of Spanish from levels B1 and C1) was compiled. Findings show that students with a Romance L1 do not perform better than students with a non-Romance L1. Also, the semantics of the different types of pronominal constructions seem to have an influence on the students’ performance. Finally, errors of overgeneralization are more common than errors of omission. In addition, the latter decrease in higher levels whereas the former seem to increase. These results may be used to reconsider some aspects of the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language.

O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as políticas e desafios do ensino técnico profissional em Moçambique. E no que concerne a metodologia para o presente trabalho de pesquisa, recorreu-se a pesquisa qualitativa e comparativa, que teve como fundamento as leituras, interpretações e análise de diferente literatura, artigos bem como textos filosóficos que se refém sobre a questão do tema em discussão. hoje em Moçambique, cada vez mais vai-se aproximando a ideia de fazer com que a educação leve os indivíduos, não só na teorização dos conhecimentos, mas  sua praticidade. É deste modo, que ressurge um ensino centralizado no saber fazer, com intuito alcançar o chamado desenvolvimento humano sustentável. Mas não obstante, que este ensino-técnico profissional apresenta alguns desafios, como é caso: A insuficiência no provimento de professores; inadaptação dos currículos às atuais necessidades do mercado de trabalho, pela fraca capacidade prática e qualificações dos alunos, a pouca afluência ou conhecimento de língua portuguesa, falta de capacidade de gestão/supervisão, a pouca autonomia e má gestão das instituições, orçamentos insuficientes, altas taxas de repetição, de desistência e insucesso e o elevado custo por aluno do ensino técnico-profissional.

Mercosur: ambitious policies, poor practices
Authors: AZEVEDO ANDRÉ FILIPE ZAGO DE
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Mercosur has achieved important advances like the removal of intra- bloc tariff and non-tariff barriers and the establishment of a common external tariff for most products. However, its ambitious plans to deepen the integration process comprising harmonisation of policies in areas like competition policy, government procurement, technical barriers and phytosanitary measures have not been implemented yet. This paper examines Mercosur policies in relation to tariffs and other non-tariff barriers comparing them with their implementation, in order to examine the extent to which the proposals have actually been fulfilled.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT It is presented a brief and tentative analysis of some political economy aspects of a tax-based incomes policy by building on some contributions from the political microeconomy and the political macroeconomy. Primary attention is paid to some political and institutional requirements to be met by such policies, while troublesome technical issues are dealt with only to the extent that they have a bear- ing on those requirements.
Capitalism, Development, and Democracy
Authors: PRZEWORSKI ADAM
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Capitalism is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for democracy. This relation is historically contingent. It is true that democracy tends to prevail in the most developed capitalist countries. But this is not because capitalist development breeds democracy. The reason is that once democracy is present in wealthy societies, everyone has too much at stake to risk a struggle for dictatorship.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Background: Among the anastomoses of the gastrointestinal tract, those of the esophagus are of special interest due to several anatomical or even general peculiarities. Aim: Evaluate retrospectively the results comparing mechanical vs. manual suture at cervical esophagogastric anastomosis in megaesophagus treatment. Methods: Were included 92 patients diagnosed with advanced megaesophagus with clinical conditions to undergo the surgery. All underwent esophageal mucosectomy, performing anastomosis of the esophagus stump with the gastric tube at the cervical level. In order to make this anastomosis, the patients were divided into two groups: group A (n=53) with circular mechanical suture, lateral end; group B (n=39) with manual suture in two sides, lateral end. In the postoperative period, an early evaluation was performed, analyzing local and systemic complications and late (average 5.6 y) analyzing deglutition. Results: Early evaluation: a) dehiscence of esophagogastric anastomosis n=5 (9.4%) in group A vs. n=9 (23.0%) in group B (p=0.0418); b) stenosis of esophagogastric anastomosis n=8 (15.1%) in group A vs. n=15 (38.4%) in group B (p=0.0105.); c) pulmonary infection n=5 (9.4%) in group A vs. n=3 (7.6%) in group B (p=1.0000.); d) pleural effusion n=5 (9.4%) in group A vs. n=6 (15.4%) in group B (p<0.518). Late evaluation showed that 86.4-96% of the patients presented the criteria 4 and 5 from SAEED, expressing effective swallowing mechanisms without showing significant differences among the groups. Conclusion: Cervical esophagogastric anastomosis by means of mechanical suture is more proper than the manual with lower incidence of local complications and, in the long-term evaluation, regular deglutition was acquired in both suture techniques in equal quality.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Background: Crohn’s disease is a pathological condition that has different options of treatment, but there are patients who need other therapeutic approach, such as the use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Aim: Systematic literature review to determine the different ways of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells administration in humans with luminal refractory and perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease. Methods: It was conducted a search for articles (from 2008 to 2018) on PubMed and ScienceDirect databases using the keywords Crohn’s disease, fistulizing Crohn’s disease, luminal Crohn’s disease and transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells or stromal cells. Thirteen publications were selected for analysis. Results: Only one study referred to the luminal Crohn´s disease. The number of cells administered was variable, occurring mainly through subcutaneous adipose tissue by liposuction. It could be highlighted the autologous transplant with exclusive infusion of mesenchymal stem cells. The procedures involved in pre-transplant were mainly curettage, setons placement and stitching with absorbable suture, and conducting tests and drug treatment for luminal Crohn´s disease. During transplant, the injection of mesenchymal stem cells across the fistula path during the transplant was mainly on the intestinal tract wall. Conclusion: Although the use of mesenchymal stem cells is promising, the transplant on the luminal region should be more investigated. The injection of mesenchymal stem cells, exclusively, is more explored when compared to treatment with other products. The preparation of the fistulizing tract and the location of cell transplantation involve standardized health care in most studies.

ABSTRACT Background: In Brazil, there has been a significant increase in obesity rates in all age groups. Data from 2017 show that obesity affects 19% of the population. Due to the magnitude of the problem, public health policies have aimed to prevent complications related to obesity by increasing the offerfor bariatric surgeries. Aim: To analyze the current status of bariatric surgery performed in the Brazilian public health system, including data from macroregions and also the effect of digestive surgery training on the number of procedures. Methods: The database of the public health registry (DATASUS) was assessedbetween 2008 and 2018 for descriptive analysis of data and evaluation of the selected parameters. The main surgical techniques, comorbidities, mortality and the costs profile of the system were evaluated. Results: There was a 339% increase in the number of bariatric surgeries in the period evaluated. Gastric bypass was performed in 94% of cases whereas sleeve in 2.4%. Other techniques were used in 3.6%. There were discrepancies in the number of surgeries performed in different regions of the country. Conclusion: There was a considerable advance in the number of bariatric surgeries performed by the public health system between 2008 and 2018. However, there is a need to increase the offer of this service and alsospecialized training, as well as a correction in the distribution of these procedures in the national territory to achieve integrality among its users.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Background: Renal insufficiency is a disease that affects several organs by provoking hypervolemia and uremia. The disease reaches more than 500 million people worldwide and few studies bring their influence on the gastrointestinal tract. Aim: To evaluate the influence of 5/6 nephrectomy-induced hypervolemia on colonic permeability to water and electrolytes. Method: Sixty male Wistar rats weighing between 280-300 g were divided into three groups: 3, 7 and 14 days after nephrectomy, each one having a false-operated/control and partially nephrectomized. For colonic permeability they were submitted to colonic perfusion with a solution of Tyroad containing phenolphthalein. Differences among the concentrations of Na+, K+ and Cl- were used to calculate the rate of colonic permeability for the electrolytes. Phenolphthalein concentrations were used to evaluate the rate of secretion and water absorption. Results: The colonic secretion of water and electrolytes occurred expressively in the group seven days after nephrectomy. Hemodynamic and biochemical assessments determined the progression of renal failure in all three groups and polyethylene glycol was shown to be effective in reversing the secretory capacity of the colon. Conclusion: Hypervolemia established after 7 days post-nephrectomy 5/6 caused marked colonic secretion for water and electrolytes. The organism presents progressive colonic secretion as the blood volume increases; on the other hand, polyethylene glycol was able to revert this secretory framework of the colon to water and electrolytes by reversing the hypervolemia.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is a major health problem. One anastomosis-gastric bypass (OAGB) is a restrictive and malabsorptive weight loss surgery that carries the same characteristics of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in its status as a weight loss mechanism; but, its results remain controversial. Aim: To describe the technique and outcomes of OAGB and its effects on weight loss and remission of comorbidities. Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent OAGB procedure from January 2017 to January 2018. Patients’ baseline characteristics were recorded. The routine in follow-up were at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results: A total of 51 patients underwent OAGB. The mean age was 43.8±9.3 years, mean weight was 125±31 and mean BMI was 55.8±12 kg/m2. With regard to comorbidities, 64.7% had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 43.1% systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and 51% dyslipidemia. The BMI decreased for 48.4±1.3 to 31±4.4 at 12 months (p=0.0001) and we obtained an average decreased of 65% excess weight loss (EWL) at 12 months of follow-up. There was improvement in the values of total cholesterol (CT) (p=0.348); triglycerides (TGC) (p=0.0001); LDL (p=0.06), HDL (p=0.029) and A1C (p=0.405). Remission of T2DM al 12 months follow-up after surgery was 57% (p=0.124), remission of SAH 37% (p=0.040) and remission of dyslipidemia of 43% (p=0.967). Conclusions: OAGB is a commonly performed and safe procedure. Short term results appear promising; however, long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate complications and possible nutritional effects.

ABSTRACT Background: Colorectal cancer has a higher incidence in the rectum and sigmoid. However, with the expansion of the diagnosis of superficial lesions interest in the diagnosis and in the role they play in colorectal carcinogenesis has increased. Aim: To verify the behavior of superficial lesions of the colon and rectum, comparing the pathological and endoscopic findings, below and above 65 years. Methods: Cross-sectional study with prospective evaluation of standard protocol, where 200 patients with colorectal superficial lesions were evaluated; they were submitted to colonoscopy and mucosectomy of these lesions. They were divided in two age groups, below and above 65 years. Results: One hundred-and-eight were women (54%) and 92 men (46%). Most colon lesions were localized in the right colon (95%) and the remaining (5%) in the rectum. In endoscopy, 77.20% were granular lesions in patients under 65 years and 77.90% above. Colon histology showed low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, being 69.79% in patients under and 73.70% in above 65 years. In rectum, above 65 years the incidence of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was higher (66.70%). Conclusion: The superficial colorectal lesions have been more endoscopically diagnosed today, and the highest incidence is the granular type, both in the colon and rectum, regardless of age. Regardless the age, histologically colon lesions were more as low grade intraepithelial neoplasia. In rectum, there was distinction for both age groups, being more frequent high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in patients over 65 years.

Resumo: Este estudo aborda a formação crítica de professores no ensino de Ciências e analisa desafios e potencialidades formativas da realização do Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC) por futuros pedagogos, na perspectiva da Educação, por meio das questões sociocientíficas, bem como busca estimular e promover, durante este processo, a subjetividade, a criatividade e a autoria dos sujeitos envolvidos. A partir dos conceitos teóricos de Theodor Adorno e dos dados obtidos por meio de notas de campo e de gravações das aulas foram criadas três dimensões: semiformativa, transição e dimensão formativa. Concluímos que a Educação, na perspectiva das questões sociocientíficas, contribuiu para a formação crítica em Ciências da Natureza de estudantes de pedagogia em formação, tanto para atuarem na docência, como no processo formativo da elaboração do TCC. Acreditamos que esta pesquisa também traz contribuições para compreender a construção da autonomia, da criatividade e da valorização da subjetividade na busca pela autoria no trabalho acadêmico.

Authors: Giordan Marcelo , Massi Luciana
Published: December 2019

Resumo: Neste artigo, analisamos a seção “Eu li, eu leio” da revista Ciência Hoje das Crianças valendo-nos dos conceitos de gênero discursivo e cronotopo de Bakhtin. Trata-se de uma seção comemorativa dos 30 anos da revista que publicou 22 histórias de leitores atuais e de ex-leitores ao longo de 2016. Consideramos o gênero discursivo de divulgação científica e sua variante para crianças como referências para identificar as variantes do gênero discursivo dessa seção, em particular, que mescla o formato de “Carta do Leitor” com a apresentação de trajetórias de sucesso profissional ou forte relação com a Ciência. A relação de interdependência tempo-espaço, analisada a partir do conceito de cronotopia, evidenciou as principais marcas da trajetória desses leitores, bem como os aspectos axiológicos implícitos da revista e o estereótipo do cientista e da relação com a Ciência.

Abstract The everyday contact with people from different nationalities is nowadays a reality. Cultural Intelligence and Multicultural Personality are individual competencies that are becoming important to deal with this reality. In this study, with 313 Portuguese participants, of both genders, with different types of intercultural contact, our purpose is to observe the effect of the intercultural contact on cultural intelligence and multicultural personality levels. The results show that there is a significant relation between the cultural intelligence and multicultural personality levels and the type of contact with individuals from different nationalities. Both cultural intelligence and multicultural personality have strong implications for a work context that is more and more characterized by cultural diversity.
VULNERABILIDADE SOCIAL E SOLIDARIEDADE ENTRE JOVENS: JARDIM ÂNGELA E JARDIM SÃO LUÍS
Authors: Matheus Tiago Corbisier
Published: December 2019

Resumo Este é um estudo exploratório sobre a vulnerabilidade social da juventude dos bairros Jardim Ângela e Jardim São Luís, na zona sul da capital paulistana. Por meio de pesquisa participante e conversas com jovens, educadores e agentes sociais da região, ficou realçada a precariedade de recursos públicos empregados nessa região. Os jovens, por sua condição social estratégica, mostram-se particularmente premidos pelos problemas locais e reagem conforme suas possibilidades e recursos disponíveis. As instituições voltadas para a educação, por sua vez, têm propostas e políticas de gestão heterogêneas, carecendo de maior articulação com seus pares locais, o que limita seu potencial de ação. Por outro lado, nota-se como traço entre moradores a formação de laços de solidariedade na rede de relações da comunidade local, o que constitui importante recurso para a construção de políticas públicas voltadas ao combate à desigualdade social local.

Abstract Introduction Tooth agenesis is likely to affect the root teeth and should be considerated in orthodontic tratament. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the association between agenesis and root morphology of anterior teeth. Material and method The anterior teeth of 51 individuals were evaluated on 102 periapical radiographs and then divided into three groups: Group 1 (n=16) – no tooth agenesis; Group 2 (n=17) – only third molar agenesis; and Group 3 (n=18) – tooth agenesis of premolars or lateral incisors. Root morphology of anterior teeth was evaluated and the roots were classified as short, blunt, apically bent, and pipette-shaped. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare root shapes, the chi-square test was used to obtain the distribution of sexes between the groups, and ANOVA was performed to compare the ages between the groups. The significance level was set at 5% for all analyses. Result There was significant difference in root shapes (P<0.05) between the groups. Blunt roots were the most prevalent in all groups, but their rate was higher in Group 3 (83%). Conclusion There was association between agenesis and root morphology of anterior teeth.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the perceptions of the family members of users of a children’s psychosocial care center, regarding the facilitating factors and the difficulties in the communication with the health professionals. Method: a qualitative and descriptive study conducted with 25 family members of users of a children’s psychosocial care center in a city of Minas Gerais (Brazil). Data collection took place between April and July 2017 using focus groups and a semi-structured script for the implementation of group sessions. Data was analyzed according to content analysis, thematic category. Results: two categories emerged from the analysis: Professional-Family relationship and Suggestions to enhance communication, which included practicalities and difficulties in communication. The data showed that the professional-family relationship refers to the professionals’ positive actions, which facilitate communication, and to their negative actions, which means offering a distant and dehumanized care and failing to provide guidance. The suggestions to enhance communication were directed to the interventions focused on the family and on the dynamics and management of the service. Conclusion: there is a need for collaboration among management, staff and family members, which can contribute to a better health care and to building more solidary and dialogical relationships.
ANÁLISE DE INFOGRÁFICOS DA ESFERA PUBLICITÁRIA: MULTIMODALIDADE E METAFUNÇÃO COMPOSICIONAL
Authors: KNOLL Graziela Frainer , FUZER Cristiane
Published: December 2019

RESUMO A multimodalidade, característica dos textos que reúnem dois ou mais códigos sígnicos (KRESS; van LEEUWEN, 2006) requer um enfoque que enfatize a verbo-visualidade (BRAIT, 2013) dessas composições. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar categorias da metafunção composicional (KRESS; van LEEUWEN, 2006) pela perspectiva da multimodalidade em infográficos da esfera publicitária, com a finalidade de compreender como se organizam as mensagens selecionadas que se configuram em infográficos. Para tanto, pretende-se: caracterizar os infográficos selecionados com base em categorias da metafunção composicional; compreender como os aspectos multimodais se relacionam aos aspectos funcionais nesses textos; averiguar como atuam os aspectos multimodais na produção dos sentidos. A amostra foi composta por cinco infográficos da área da publicidade selecionados a partir do site Pinterest. A análise multimodal dos textos será realizada a partir de categorias da metafunção composicional, da Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; van LEEUWEN, 2006). A análise demonstra que não há somente um foco visual, mas um número variável de elementos multimodais que, com seus diferentes tamanhos, cores e funções comunicativas, contribuem para a criação de diferentes graus de saliência.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to report a case series on the use of audiovisual distraction eyeglasses in children during dental care. Methods: The influence of the distraction tool on the children’s heart rate frequency and dental care experience was further investigated. The study children had their heart rate recorded during three clinical appointments and underwent the following procedures: 1) anamnesis; 2) modified atraumatic restorative treatment with the child wearing audiovisual eyeglasses; and 3) modified atraumatic restorative treatment without the use of audiovisual eyeglasses. The interval between appointments was up to one week. The heart rate was measured using a pulse oximeter, and a post-treatment questionnaire was applied after the three appointments. The sample consisted of five children aged 4 to 7 years attending the Pediatric Dental Clinics of the State University of Paraíba. Results: While wearing the audiovisual eyeglasses, the children’s individual heart rates were lower in the second dental visit as compared to the first and third ones. The post-treatment questionnaire revealed a preference for the use of audiovisual distraction eyeglasses as the children felt more comfortable, pleased, and had a reduced pain perception and anxiety. Conclusion: The heart rate decrease observed herein suggests that audiovisual eyeglasses may contribute to reducing anxiety during dental care.
De Greimas a Eric Landowski. A experiência do sentido, o sentido da experiência: semiótica, interação e processos sócio-comunicacionais
Authors: Demuru Paolo
Published: December 2019

Resumo Objetivo do presente artigo é reconstruir as trajetórias que unem o pensamento de Greimas e Landowski. Em particular, o confronto entre os dois autores desenvolve-se a partir de quatro diretrizes específicas: teórica, metodológica, epistemológica, política. Ao cerne da primeira coloca-se a questão do ponto de vista semiótico sobre os processos socioculturais e comunicacionais e a problemática greimasiana da narratividade, expandida e redefinida por Landowski em seu modelo dos regimes de sentido e interação; a segunda foca nos desafios do método semiótico diante da complexidade do mundo e da comunicação contemporânea; a terceira gira em torno do tema da emergência e da transformação do sentido; a quarta, por fim, tange às implicações políticas da abordagem semiótica. Trata-se de trajetórias elípticas, através das quais emerge um percurso não linear e errático, cujas intenções, longe de ser filológicas e sistêmicas, são, antes de tudo, críticas e especulativas.
