Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Suh Tongjoo , Kwon Daeyoung , Choi Sangwon , Kim Brian H.S.
Published: July 2022

Apples and pears are receiving relatively high attention compared to other agricultural products regarding whether or not to allow imports. As agricultural market liberalization measures such as the RCEP and the CPTPP progress, the possibility of lifting SPS measures is also increasing, along with the need for corresponding research. As part of a proactive response to the lifting of SPS measures, this study intended to analyze the potential demand for apples and pears, which are items subject to import bans.
In this paper, it is estimated the potential prices that may occur when the SPS measures are lifted, focusing on major countries that could be import sources for apples and pears, and identified the preference for imported fruits by country of origin. As a result of the analysis, it is expected that prices of imported apples are 23.6% to 54.8% lower than for domestic apples. In the case of imported pears, the prices are expected to be 25.2% to 65.2% lower than for domestic pears. The estimated prices of the fruits were different according to their country of origin, and the ranges of price increase and decrease were different depending on the item. The analysis results imply that the preference for Asian fruits was relatively low, consumers preferred imported apples more than imported pears.
La actualidad del esse en la metafísica tomista: perspectivas críticas
Authors: Pérez Manuel Alejandro Serra
Published: July 2022

Resumen: Una de las causas del renacimiento que la filosofía del ser de Tomás de Aquino ha tenido desde la mitad del siglo pasado es, sin duda, el impacto de los estudios que, sobre esta materia, llevó a cabo el medievalista francés Étienne Gilson. Acuciado por la crítica onto-teológica de M. Heidegger, Gilson y otros tomistas hicieron causa común para clarificar el alcance de la invectiva heideggerian-a, la cual juzgaba que la metafísica del ser del Aquinate habría caído también en un esencialismo o cosificación del ser. La propuesta de estos autores se centró en poner de relieve la original noción de ser (actus essendi) frente a intérpretes (algunos de la propia escuela tomista) que habrían oscurecido su significado, fundamentalmente su valor de actualidad suprema. A juicio de Gilson, Fabro y otros, la causa principal de este desenfoque habría sido la identificación de ser y existencia. Mi objetivo en este artículo es analizar críticamente algunas posiciones del tomismo contemporáneo y justificar la imposibilidad de identificar lo que Tomás de Aquino llama esse por existencia.
The power to tolerate
Authors: Caro Eduardo Fuentes
Published: July 2022

Abstract: Toleration is a privilege of the powerful. A person can tolerate only if she has the power to interfere with what she objects to. In this paper, I revise the circumstances in which someone has the power to tolerate. I argue that the answer must incorporate both metaphysical and practical considerations. Specifically, I argue that someone has the power to tolerate when her properties ground that power in the practical situation in which the person finds themselves, characterized by her practical interests. In doing so, I criticize Glen Newey’s analysis of this power.

Abstract The aim of this study was to estimate the size at first sexual maturity (Lm) for 36 species belonging to 24 families from the marine habitat of Balochistan and Sindh in Arabian Sea, Pakistan through maximum length based an empirical and logistic model using commercial catch during June 2020 to May 2021. Individual total length (TL) was noted up to 0.1 cm using measuring broad. The Lm was calculated using two formulae; (i) log (Lm) = - 0.1246 + 0.9924 * log (Lmax) for Elasmobranchs and (ii) log (Lm) = -0.1189 + 0.9157* log (Lmax) for ray-finned fishes. The minimum Lm was recorded as 10.27 cm TL for Caranx malabaricus and 108.38 cm TL for Isurus oxyrinchus, respectively. Around Lm with 58.33% species were ranges from 19.00 cm to 25.00 cm TL. This study was estimated 16 newly Lm which is globally absent and rest 20 Lm are absent in the Arabian Sea (Pakistan coastal habitats). Therefore, the results will be helpful for the sustainable management and conservation of these marine fishes through the establishment of mesh size of trawl nets based on the size at sexual maturity (Lm).
“Se você é jovem ainda”: análise sobre os candidatos jovens nas eleições proporcionais de 2018 no Brasil
Authors: Guedes Neto João V.
Published: July 2022

RESUMEN Introdução: Investigo se o fato de ser jovem ajudou com que candidatos obtivessem sucesso nas eleições legislativas brasileiras de 2018. As hipóteses de trabalho incluem, além da idade, a interação com variáveis tais como gênero, raça, escolaridade e presença no cargo. Materiais e Métodos: Foi feita uma análise descritiva dos dados fornecidos pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral sobre os jovens candidatos e eleitos por partido político em 2018 e, em específico, foi realizada uma discussão qualitativa sobre a bancada jovem de um partido de direita (Democratas). Em sequência, utilizo regressões logísticas para testar as hipóteses tanto para a eleição de candidatos jovens à Câmara dos Deputados como às Assembleias Legislativas dos estados. Resultados: Os dados mostram que o “fator juventude” aumentou as chances de sucesso eleitoral, principalmente no nível estadual e se combinado com escolaridade. Ser titular do cargo que disputa contribuiu para o sucesso dos candidatos no nível federal. Ser branco facilitou a eleição de jovens aos legislativos estaduais. Discussão: O artigo aponta uma tendência parcial de renovação na política, já que a preferência por candidatos mais jovens em 2018 esteve acompanhada por algumas características tradicionais da política.

Published: July 2022

RESUMEN Introdução: No Brasil, as audiências públicas das Comissões Permanentes da Câmara dos Deputados são arenas relevantes para a defesa de demandas de grupos de pressão. Ali ocorrem interações entre um conjunto variado de atores, formando-se uma ampla rede. O artigo identifica os atores que ocuparam posições centrais nas redes de interesses organizados nas Comissões Permanentes nas 53ª e 54ª legislaturas. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo inclui 20 das 25 Comissões Permanentes em funcionamento atualmente. Foram utilizados dados de todas as audiências públicas realizadas pelas Comissões Permanentes entre fevereiro de 2007 e janeiro de 2015, com destaque para os nomes dos participantes e das organizações/instituições que eles representavam. Empregou-se análise de redes sociais, mobilizando-se medidas de centralidade dos atores (degree, closeness e betweeness). Resultados: Apenas o Ministério Público Federal, o Ministério da Saúde, o Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego e o Ministério da Educação figuraram nas três medidas de centralidade dentre os dez atores mais importantes. Outro achado refere-se à observação de policy networks que se formam em torno de determinadas políticas, objetos da atividade das Comissões Permanentes. A apresentação das organizações e das instituições mais centrais em cada arena do sistema de comissões revela uma convergência muito clara entre os atores e o escopo temático das arenas nas quais atuam preponderantemente. Discussão: Esses achados têm impacto nas pesquisas sobre lobbying, uma vez que lançam luz sobre quais grupos atuam e como se dá essa participação nesse tipo de arena decisória.

Authors: Zanotello Marcelo , Malaquias Isabel
Published: July 2022

Neste trabalho analisa-se a produção de sentidos por estudantes de um curso de licenciatura em física relativamente a aspectos históricos, epistemológicos e conceituais do tema gravitação universal, através de uma atividade na disciplina Práticas de Ensino de Física I em uma universidade pública paulista. A atividade incluiu um vídeo abordando a Teoria da Gravitação Universal e sua aplicação na compreensão do movimento da lua em órbita da Terra e, em seguida, os estudantes responderam por escrito a um questionário aberto. A investigação foi desenvolvida com base em pressupostos da vertente francesa da Análise do Discurso. Verificou-se que a abordagem articulada de aspectos históricos e conceituais utilizando recursos gráficos tornou o vídeo atrativo para os estudantes, explicitando seu potencial didático. Evidenciamos aprendizagens significativas pela manifestação de repetições históricas em suas respostas. O tratamento de aspectos epistemológicos e da história da ciência proporcionou a manifestação de noções adequadas sobre a natureza da ciência. Foram trabalhados aspectos conceituais qualitativa e quantitativamente, havendo indícios de que os estudantes conseguem resolver problemas quantitativos e exercícios de aplicação sem serem submetidos a uma aula expositiva tradicional. Tendo a investigação ocorrido durante o cenário pandêmico, impôs-se realizar todo o período letivo em modo remoto.

Published: July 2022

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os fatores determinantes do consumo domiciliar de pescados no Brasil. Foram utilizados os microdados da POF 2017-2018. Especificamente, buscou-se identificar como o consumo de pescados é influenciado pelas variáveis relacionadas à localização, características e hábitos domiciliares, de forma geral e por faixas de renda. Para a estimação, utilizou-se o modelo econométrico Probit. Ao todo, foram selecionados 2289 produtos distribuídos entre 9 categorias distintas, sendo 5 delas relacionadas a pescados e 4 relacionadas a proteínas elencadas como possíveis substitutas. Os resultados mostram que residir na zona rural, em regiões litorâneas ou na região Norte contribui positivamente para a aquisição de pescados, o que indica a importância dos fatores ligados à oferta. A escolaridade do responsável pelo domicílio não teve efeito significativo na propensão a consumir. Já a presença de crianças e adolescentes nos domicílios e o aumento da renda tiveram efeito positivo sobre a propensão a consumir.

Published: July 2022

Resumo O artigo trata de recortes de pesquisa da literatura sobre shadow education (ensino suplementar), explorando estudos que representam cada recorte e suas principais conclusões. A análise das pesquisas indica que a preocupação com a produção de desigualdades educacionais permeia a literatura sobre shadow education, tendo em vista que essas atividades tendem a promover o aumento de distâncias educacionais entre estudantes que ocupam posições diferentes no espaço social. Destaca-se, também, que o ambiente de competição por posições escolares/universitárias relativamente favoráveis parece fomentar a demanda por atividades de ensino suplementar em diferentes contextos e que a proliferação de atividades de ensino suplementar tende a afetar as práticas de professores e alunos no ensino regular.
Studies on shadow education: research excerpts , ,
Authors: Galvão Fernando Vizotto
Published: July 2022

Abstract The article focuses on excerpts from a literature research on shadow education, exploring studies that represent each sub-theme and its main conclusions. Our analysis indicates that the concern with the production of educational inequalities permeates the research about shadow education, considering that these activities tend to promote an increase in educational distances among students placed different positions in the social space. It is also noteworthy that the competitive environment for relatively favorable school or university positions seems to foment the demand for supplementary educational activities in different contexts, and that the increase in the number of these kinds of activities tends to affect the practices of teachers and students in the regular education.

Published: July 2022

Abstract This research aims to discuss civic engagement among teenagers based on their own conceptions about politics and leadership. The theoretical perspective is at the intersection of Education and Moral Psychology, bringing studies on the education of values, as well as concepts of political philosophy. We evaluate the responses of 219 teenage students from Baixada Santista-SP, of both genders, aged 10 to 13 years, from two questionnaires produced for the investigation. One questionnaire on the perceptions of the political scenario, and the other on anti-hero characters from cinema and TV, the answers to the questionnaires were inter-related. The results show that civic engagement emphasizes the important role that teenagers can and should play as participants and agents of change in the construction of qualities that promote the common good and citizenship.
Communication of bad news from the perspective of oncologists and palliative care physicians
Authors: Ferraz Maysa Araújo Gomes , Chaves Bruna Andrade , Silva Debora Prado , Jordán Arturo de Pádua Walfrido , Barbosa Leopoldo Nelson Fernandes
Published: July 2022

Abstract: Introduction: Communication is essential to medical practice; however, it is constantly performed inadequately, mainly in the context of communicating bad news. The bad news is that it causes a negative change in the patient’s life, resulting in an unpleasant change and modifying his future perspective. In Western medicine, due to the predominance of the curative model, bad news is understood as failure or incapacity of professional competences, causing physicians to distance themselves and causing patient dissatisfaction. Given these circumstances, the SPIKES, P-A-C-I-E-N-T-E, and Class communication protocols emerged. Objective: To evaluate the dynamics of bad news, with respect to the use of specific protocols and the main difficulties experienced, as well as to identify the influence of communication on the doctor-patient relationship. Method: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative methodology, using a semi-structured interview script prepared by the authors. Twelve interviews were carried out with physicians from the Oncology and Palliative Care sectors of the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP), which were recorded and transcribed for further analysis. The data was categorized according to Minayo’s proposal. Results: The approach to bad news was very similar among professionals, regardless of the use of communication protocols, with SPIKES being the best known among them. The study revealed that the main difficulties faced by physicians when communicating bad news are related to the environment and time of consultation, high patient demand, doctor-patient-family bond and the medical feeling of not meeting expectations or being frustrated by the experienced situation. A clear influence of communication on the doctor-patient relationship was also identified. The need to update the curriculum of medical schools, including theoretical-practical training in communicating bad news, was also verified. Conclusion: The use of bad news communication protocols is not presented as an essential condition for effective communication; however, it allows greater assertiveness and clarity during the conversation. Therefore, the implementation of communication strategies in the health context is suggested, allowing improvements for both professionals and patients.

Abstract The fortification of dairy beverages is a widely developed strategy using non-heme or heme iron. Heme iron has a higher bioavailability. The investigation aimed to elaborate pasteurized milk with fortified chocolate flavor with heme iron that has good sensory acceptability. The preparation of the flavored milk was carried out based on the regulations and heme iron, obtained from a commercial source of whole blood of porcine origin, was added before the pasteurization process to achieve its complete dilution. The concentration of iron and chocolate flavoring was established as variables in order to evaluate the optimal formulation based on Sensory Acceptability (SA). The experimental design was a 32 factorial design in which eight formulations were established, which were sensory acceptability evaluated by a total of 35 school-age children, aged between 8 and 11 years using a five-point facial hedonic scale. The results of the analysis of variance and optimization of the response showed that SA was 4.71 (on a scale of 1 to 5) for a fortification of 6.76 mg Fe kg-1 sample and a chocolate concentration of 2.0 g kg-1 sample. The physicochemical characterization indicated a higher percentage of carbohydrates, a higher concentration of iron (9.3 mg Fe kg-1 sample) and vitamin C (349.0 mg kg-1 sample) with respect to fresh milk. According to the physicochemical and microbiological results, the approximate life time of the beverage was 5 days, which is in accordance with Peruvian regulations. These results showed a method of fortification of flavored milk that allowed the use of heme iron, whose content could contribute to the daily requirement of this mineral in children aged between 8 and 11 years old (8 mg of iron per day).

Resultados: o estudo reúne escalas de múltiplas virtudes morais (19) e de virtudes específicas (18), evidenciando limitações na geração de itens e na proporção item-amostra em algumas escalas, como também contribuições teóricas em liderança e fortalecimento de relações, fazendo uma discussão teórico-metodológica, à luz dos pressupostos da ética das virtudes na tradição aristotélico-tomista. Conclusões: o artigo intenciona contribuir para uma melhor compreensão sobre as virtudes morais em administração, ao discutir as escalas a partir da unidade das virtudes e da conexão phronesis-virtudes morais, com implicações no comportamento humano e na ética empresarial. Recomendam-se procedimentos para estudos futuros qualitativos e quantitativos em novos contextos de pesquisa.
Financial Management in Practice: Analysis of Brazilian Survey Data
Authors: Benetti Cristiane , Terra Paulo Renato Soares , Decourt Roberto Frota
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: this article replicates in Brazil a survey - previously applied in North America and Europe - to inquire CFOs about the cost of capital, capital budgeting, and capital structure. Method: we rigorously translated and validated the questionnaire before administering it over the internet. We delivered the questionnaire to 1,699 Brazilian private and public firms and received 160 responses, with a return rate of 9.4%. We analyzed the responses conditioned to firm characteristics. Results: the results of the financial policy survey in Brazil indicate that firms employ NPV and IRR as preferred investment techniques and the CAPM and its variations as the method for computing the cost of equity capital. They are also concerned with the cost of debt and transaction costs of market instruments, and they use internal funds as their main investment funding source. The conditional analysis indicates that large, listed, and regulated firms behave differently regarding financial decisions than their counterparts. Conclusion: the main takeaway from this study is that the institutional environment (markets, institutions, instruments, and the economy) is an important determinant of the practice of corporate finance.

In Defense of Theory and Original Theoretical Contributions in Administration
Authors: Bispo Marcelo de Souza
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT This editorial proposes how to build original theoretical contributions in a context that privileges practice over theory, where Anglo-Saxon theories dominate the scientific field of administration, and it is even unclear what “theory” means. The central idea is that the approximation between theory and practice only exists when the theory is constructed in the concrete world, i.e., where practice happens. This means that the uncritical adoption of theories to understand specific realities leads to the false impression that “in theory, practice is different.” My conclusion is that the original theoretical contribution must consider the multiple ways of life, culture, and the constituent elements of the social phenomena one wants to research. Added to this is the appreciation of indigenous knowledge (scientific or otherwise) on the reality where one aims to offer an original theoretical contribution.
Em Defesa da Teoria e da Contribuição Teórica Original em Administração
Authors: Bispo Marcelo de Souza
Published: July 2022

RESUMO O objetivo deste texto é oferecer uma proposta de como construir contribuições teóricas originais diante de um contexto de desvalorização da teoria frente à prática, da miopia do que é teoria e do predomínio teórico anglo-saxão no campo científico da administração. A ideia central é que a aproximação entre teoria e prática só existe quando a teoria é construída no contexto no qual a prática acontece (mundo concreto), o que significa dizer que a importação de teorias de maneira acrítica para compreender realidades específicas é que leva à falsa impressão de ‘na teoria, a prática é outra’. Concluo dizendo que a contribuição teórica original deve levar em conta as multiplicidades de modo de vida, cultura e os elementos constituintes dos fenômenos sociais que se deseja pesquisar. Soma-se a isso a valorização dos conhecimentos locais (científicos ou não) já produzidos sobre a realidade na qual se pretende oferecer uma contribuição teórica original.

Authors: Medeiros Amanda Marina Andrade , Goulart Daniel Magalhães
Published: July 2022

RESUMO: Este artigo teve sua gênese no parecer do artigo de Alves, Parente, Bezerra e Bezerra (2022), construído pela primeira autora deste trabalho. Seu objetivo é promover reflexões acerca da possível articulação entre os processos subjetivos e operacionais na aprendizagem em ciências. Nesse sentido, procuramos delinear uma articulação entre os tipos de aprendizagem trazidos por Mitjáns Martínez e González Rey, tendo como alicerce a Teoria da Subjetividade em uma abordagem cultural-histórica, e os tipos de conteúdo elaborados por Pozo e Crespo, tendo como base o trabalho inaugural de Alves, Parente, Bezerra e Bezerra (2022), que apresenta e relaciona essas abordagens. Mais do que um comentário crítico a respeito dessa aproximação feita pelos autores, este artigo teve como foco discutir algumas nuances dessa aproximação construída por eles, enfatizando as contribuições da Teoria da Subjetividade de González Rey.

Published: July 2022

RESUMEN El estudio ofrece una visión temprana de una muestra no probabilística incidental de 333 profesores de doce países iberoamericanos, en relación con la satisfacción con la Educación Remota de Emergencia y las competencias percibidas para abordarla. Se aplicó un cuestionario validado de 28 ítems. Se utilizó la prueba no paramétrica de Chi-Cuadrado de Pearson para determinar la asociación entre variables y la V de Cramer para establecer su intensidad. Las competencias percibidas por los profesores tienen una alta asociación estadística con las competencias observadas en sus estudiantes para su trabajo en línea, así como la satisfacción de los profesores con ERE asociada a la respuesta de los estudiantes. Se concluye que las preocupaciones iniciales de los profesores están conectadas con los estudiantes más que con las herramientas o recursos.

ABSTRACT This article proposes to establish a zone of indiscernibility between the domains of art and education. To do so, it confronts documents related to both legislation and educational research, with some gestures performed by the artist Nelson Leirner in a situation of pedagogical ambience, highlighting the problem of the demand for meaning. It evokes analytical procedures operated in three texts by Michel Foucault. His company allows taking representation as an operation that would go beyond the mere act of representing as re-presenting the truth. Such way of taking representation, in a performative one, leads to the forge of the exile as a methodological strategy for investigating practices, in their unique modes of operation and effects.
Continuing Teacher Education: space-time in preschool
Authors: Andrade Elisabete
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Focusing on the teacher education in the space-time of preschools, this paper seeks to investigate and understand how teacher education and the daily life of early childhood schools have been thought out. Based on a qualitative and exploratory approach, the research uses data collected by interviews with school teachers and aides. Foucault (2021; 2014), Freire (2019), Rousseau (2004), Santos (2018), Vigotski (2000), among others make up its theoretical background. The growing social changes generated by globalization lead us to reflect on this age group, which is often ignored within these transformations.
Impotence, Resentment, Incredulity: nihilism in Cinema and Education
Authors: Almeida Rogério de
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Nihilism can be defined as depreciation of life, establishment and loss of supreme values, crisis in the categories of finality, totality and truth, which generates impotence, resentment and incredulity. These elements are part of the contemporary imaginaries and have been studied through the films Nocturama, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, and The House That Jack Built, to investigate the manifestations of nihilism and its consequences in cinema and education. The methodology was guided by the hermeneutics in convergence with Nietzschean perspectivism, and the conclusion points to the possibility of overcoming nihilism through a pedagogy of choice and an unconditional affirmation of life.
Social Justice as a Principle of Social Security
Authors: Kuchma Olha
Published: July 2022

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to determine the impact of social justice on the volume, types, and amount of social security in the distribution of benefits in society. This study approaches the direction of social policy in the state and the place of social justice in the priorities of legislative activity. Failure to keep a balance between the interests of different classes of the population leads to confrontation in society and conflicts with the authorities. The state is constantly facing challenges that require a review of traditional social security conditions. Deteriorating demographic situation and other reasons that affect the amount of funding for the social sphere are forcing authorities to make unpopular decisions that worsen the conditions of social security. Therefore, the principle of social justice and the principle of legitimate expectation must be observed when changing the legislation in the field of social security. This article proposes the definition of the compensation coefficient in legislation, and its amount should be set in a bill to amend the legislation in the field of social security. This paper also focuses on the problem of social justice in providing social security to migrants.
Pierre Bourdieu, catedrático de sociologia no Collége de France
Authors: Oliveira Amurabi , Silva Camila Ferreira da
Published: July 2022

Resumo O artigo se ocupa de um momento específico da obra e atuação profissional de Pierre Bourdieu, seus primeiros cinco anos como catedrático de Sociologia no Collège de France, período em que lecionou o curso que denominou de “Sociologia Geral”. Com o objetivo de analisar sua atuação não apenas como pesquisador, mas também como professor, e então buscar compreender sua concepção de sociologia, o texto retraça o cenário intelectual em torno do Collège de France, destacando o significado da seleção de Pierre Bourdieu para a cátedra de sociologia, bem como analisa os temas, objetivos e fios condutores das aulas proferidas nesses primeiros anos. Este artigo foi produzido a partir de um estudo qualitativo de cunho bibliográfico, de diálogo com autores nacionais e internacionais e da análise do curso de sociologia geral de Bourdieu. O estudo acabou por corroborar a relevância de analisar esse período de ápice na trajetória intelectual do sociólogo. Além disso, evidenciou-se que Bourdieu, na condição de catedrático e com a intencionalidade pedagógica que a posição acarreta, atou as pontas entre ensino e pesquisa em sociologia, privilegiando debates sobre a sociologia bourdieusiana e, sobretudo, sobre o lugar da sociologia no mundo social.
Socialização de habitus: gênero e geração nas elites paulistanas

Published: July 2022

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é trazer informações acerca da socialização de gênero em quatro gerações da elite paulistana do século XX e XXI. Trata-se da análise de dados recolhidos na pesquisa Pensamento e práticas de cultura da elite paulistana. A intenção é problematizar experiências socializadoras de homens e mulheres — hetero e homossexuais — indagando sobre as possíveis transformações das formas de hierarquia de poder nestes grupos a partir dos habitus de gênero. Os dados foram recolhidos em entrevistas e questionários, com um olhar qualitativo, aplicados em um grupo de 48 pessoas. A hipótese principal apoia-se na teoria dos capitais de Pierre Bourdieu, entre outras, e suas formas subjetivas de construção de disposições de habitus. Destaca-se, por um lado, que as gerações e o sexo das pessoas passaram por mudanças expressivas, indicando rupturas individuais e sociais com alguns padrões estabelecidos para seu sexo ou geração. Por outro lado, indica-se também a permanência de um sentido prático que continua garantindo em todas as gerações as posições de status em função de suas expertises, subjetividades e berço familiar.

Abstract The aim of this study was to characterize Leishmania spp. from canine and feline samples using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). It was conducted in the southern region of Brazil, located at border crossings to Argentina and Uruguay. Samples were collected from 116 dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and 89 cats (Felis catus). The PCR was performed to screen for an LT1 fragment from kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) target gene, and positive samples were subjected to a second PCR for an internal transcribed spacers (ITS1) region from ribosomal DNA (rDNA) target. RFLP was performed using the Haemophilus aegyptius (HAE III) restriction endonuclease (Fermentas ®). Positive samples by PCR ITS1 were sequenced and deposited in NCBI GenBank, and a phylogenetic analysis was developed. We found that 12.9% (15/116) of the samples from dogs were positive. All the 89 cat samples were negative. Positive samples were tested against Leishmania reference strains presenting different patterns in PCR-RFLP, and these samples showed bands denoting similarity to the standard species of Leishmania infantum, proven through sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The RFLP technique, alone, was shown to be feasible for practical application and confirmation of the involved Leishmania spp.
Utilisation of low-reactivity fly ash for fabricating geopolymer materials
Authors: Poowancum Anurat , Aengchuan Prasert
Published: July 2022

Low-reactivity fly ash (LRFA), obtained from combustion in a low-temperature furnace, is a hazardous waste with low pozzolanic activity that is unsuitable for engineering applications. This study investigated the effects of mixing procedure (sequence mixing method (SMM) and conventional mixing method (CMM)) on the properties of a geopolymer made from LRFA blended with calcined kaolinite clay as a precursor. A mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium metasilicate was used as the alkaline solution. It was found that the SMM was required to obtain LRFA geopolymers with sufficient strength for engineering applications. Using the CMM, the geopolymer had high porosity and low strength because gas bubbles were generated in the reaction between the alkaline solution and impurities in the LRFA during the hardening process. By contrast, in the SMM, the generated gas bubbles were released before the geopolymer hardened. As a result, the porosity was reduced and the strength was thus significantly increased. The 7-day strength of the geopolymer fabricated using the SMM was higher than the minimum requirement for Portland cement. In addition, the SMM reduced the setting time of the LRFA geopolymer, which is advantageous for rapid repair applications.

Light-burnt dolomite (LBD) as a compound magnesium oxide (MgO) expansive agent can compensate for the shrinkage of concrete effectively at early ages. However, in terms of strength, the replacement amount of Portland cement with LBD is limited due to the low reactivity of calcite in LBD. In this study, metakaolin used as a modified material was incorporated into blended cements containing LBD to improve the reactivity of calcite in the LBD. The results showed that the incorporation of LBD and metakaolin decreased the hydration heat and strengths of Portland cement at early ages, but the strength increased with increasing the mass ratio of metakaolin to LBD at later ages. In particular, the strengths of the blended cement containing 20% metakaolin and 20% LBD were even higher than those of Portland cement. This was mainly related to the formation of a compact pore structure with decreased porosity owing to the improvement of the reactivity of calcite in LBD and the pozzolanic reactivity of metakaolin. In addition, in comparison to Portland cement, the incorporation of LBD and metakaolin could produce a certain expansion due to the high hydration reactivity of magnesium oxide in LBD, and mitigated the shrinkage.
