ABSTRACT: Among the diseases that affect the reproductive system of domestic animals, brucellosis in the sheep species is important because it generates significant economic losses to sheep rearing. Thus, it is a threat to the growth and productivity of sheep herds. In the face of this problem, the objective of the present research was to identify the prevalence of ovine brucellosis in herds in municipalities of the Teresina, Piauí, Brazil microregion by using the agar gel immunodiffusion assay (AGID) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) serological tests. Fourteen municipalities were included in the research. Blood samples were collected from 521 pubescent animals by puncturing the jugular vein. After collection, the samples were submitted to the serological techniques, AGID and indirect ELISA, to detect anti B. ovis antibody. Of the 521 samples submitted to the AGIDtest, 23 (4.41%) were sera reagent and 498 (95.58%) negative. The indirect ELISA tests, 24 (4.61%) suspect samples and 497 (95.39%) negative samples were obtained, and there were no reagent animals in this test, only suspect. The seroprevalence of ovine brucellosis in the Teresina, Piauí microregion was 4.41%. Thus, it is possible to identify sheep with reagent serology to infection by B. ovis, that is present in municipalities in the state of Piauí, Brazil. Furthermore, AGIDwas shown to be more sensitive in detecting animals that had had contact with the etiological agent of the disease.

Published: November 2020

Abstract Celiac disease is characterized by the body’s inability to digest gluten in the small intestine, and the dietary treatment consists of avoiding foods that contain this protein. Potato peel, pumpkin seeds, and quinoa are ingredients that can be used to produce gluten-free bread. The aim of this work was to evaluate chemical and sensory characteristics of gluten-free breads consisting of the idea to compare both made with traditional ingredients and with the addition of Potato Peel Flour (PPF), Pumpkin Seed Flour (PSF), and Quinoa Flour (QF). Sensory analysis of the prepared gluten-free breads and chemical analysis of the alternative flours were performed, as well as the formulations developed. The bread formulation with traditional flours and starches that obtained the highest acceptance in the sensory evaluation was used as a base to prepare three bread formulations, with 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% of each alternative flours. Regarding the chemical analysis of the flours, carbohydrate concentrations of PPF and QF did not differ statistically. Lipid, protein, and ash levels in PSF were significantly higher than those in the other flours. Carbohydrate, ash, and lipid contents of the three formulations made with alternative flours showed no significant differences. The formulation with 5.0% of the alternative flours had higher sensory acceptance. The results showed that the alternative flours used are viable alternatives for the production of gluten-free breads, making it possible to improve the diet of part of the population with celiac disease by increasing the nutritional contents of minerals, lipids, and proteins.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Context: in recent years, studies have sought to analyze how intelligence and knowledge management processes are understood and applied in the context of public management, environments in which processes appear as a point to be explored to enhance decision-making quality. Objective: to analyze how public managers apply intelligence and knowledge management aiming at a higher decision quality. Method: based on a defined and validated research protocol, interviews were conducted with seventeen public managers in southern Brazil. For the analysis, the qualitative comparative analysis technique using fuzzy sets was applied. Results: the results suggest the importance of effective data, information, and knowledge management for the decision-making quality of public managers, demonstrating that the absence of decision-making quality is directly related to the absence or little use of knowledge management and intelligence elements in the public management. Conclusion: in addition to analyzing conditions and proposing ways to lead to greater quality in decision making by public managers, it was possible to contribute to the theme of knowledge management and intelligence in public management, as well as to benefit the government with paths to be consolidated and better explored.

Resultados: houve elevação de ponta de língua e retração de dorso e raiz na articulação do /l/. As crianças típicas, independentemente da idade, apresentaram maior refinamento dos gestos articulatórios de língua do que as atípicas. Nas crianças mais velhas, houve maior delimitação nos contornos médios de língua desde a ponta até a raiz. Conclusão: a ultrassonografia dos movimentos de língua é uma importante ferramenta para a caracterização dos gestos articulatórios do /l/, para diferenciação entre as produções típica e atípica deste som, e observação do desenvolvimento dos gestos articulatórios.
LinkedIn as a data source to rank universities according to graduate’s employability in top companies
Authors: MORENO-DELGADO Alicia , ORDUÑA-MALEA Enrique , REPISO Rafael
Published: November 2020

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of ranking universities considering the number of its graduates employed in top companies (selective employability), as mapped through LinkedIn. To achieve this, we analyzed the presence of 3,716,720 graduates from eighty Spanish universities hired by the Iberian Index companies, considering the percentages of graduates from each university working in those companies. The index obtained presents a short statistical range to correctly discriminate all universities. Moreover, the selective employability indicator is influenced by the distance between universities and companies (i.e., companies attract graduates from universities near their headquarters). This issue jeopardizes the use of this metric as a standalone ranking indicator. Finally, LinkedIn shows several limitations as a data source (mainly representativeness, reliability, and accuracy).

Published: November 2020

Abstract It is relevant to systematize the global knowledge generated about heliconia due to its economic importance in tropical floriculture and the cut flower market. The objective was to explore the results generated in scientific research related to the cultivation of heliconias as cut flower in terms of its methodological approach, research axes, and spatial distribution in terms of the contributions by country. A bibliographic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of science and SciELO based on the keywords “heliconia” and “tropical flowers”. Thereafter, a content analysis of the documents was conducted with the Nvivo software using a priori categories in terms of methodological approach, research axes, year, countries, and cultivars or varieties. The results indicate that the scientific contributions are mostly under a quantitative approach (98.1%). The investigations mainly address productive aspects (74.5%), post-harvest aspects (16.1%), market (6.7%) while industry-used products (2.5%) are scarcely addressed. The countries that make the most contributions are: Brazil (54.5%), Colombia (15.4%) and Mexico (10.9%). The most important species are: H. psittacorum, H. bihai, H. spathocircinata, H. rostrata and H. wagneriana. These results suggest conducting research to identify problems from the physiological, environmental, productive, and economic processes, as well as considering the strategies of farmers as a priority. This must be approached from paradigms where social actors (farmers), their development and the impacts of their social tasks on the cultivation of heliconias are considered the main axis.

Abstract Bougainvillea spectabilis is an ornamental plant grown in both temperate and tropical zones. They are primarily propagated by stem cuttings; however, difficulty in growth at early stages occurs routinely, causing barrier for its mass propagation. This study was conducted to study the effects of integrating compost with Trichoderma longibrachiatum (NGJ167), in improving the early growth of Bougainvillea spectabilis. Trichoderma longibrachiatum (NGJ167) used for this purpose was obtained from the Bioscience Center, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan. One hundred and twenty (120) pots were filled with 5 kg top soil each from an alfisol. Treatments included: Top soil as Control (C), Top soil inoculated with T. longibrachiatum (T), Top soil + compost at 5, 10 and 15 t ha-1 as C1, C2, C3 respectively, Top soil inoculated with T. longibrachiatum + compost at 5, 10 and 15 t ha-1 as C1T, C2T, C3T respectively. The eight treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) and replicated three times. Results indicated that integrated use of compost with Trichoderma significantly (p < 0.05) had higher growth values than the control. Higher plant height, stem diameter, number of branches and number of leaves, were recorded with the use of compost at 10 t ha-1 compared to control. Compost with Trichoderma gave higher shoot dry weight compared to treatments of compost alone. In conclusion, use of compost alone or inoculated with Trichoderma had significant effect on early growth and development of Bougainvillea spectabilis.

Published: November 2020

Abstract This study was carried out on the flowers of 'Le Castel' Dahlia (starflower) cultivated in Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Agricultural Research and Application Center in 2019. The study aimed to prolong the vase life of Dahlia flowers used as cut flowers. Deionized water (control), sucrose + deionized water, thyme oil, lavender oil, carvacrol, thymol, sodium hypochlorite, and gibberellic acid were used as vase solutions. The total vase solution uptake (g/stem), daily vase solution uptake (g/day fresh weight (FW)), proportional FW (%) and vase life (day) parameters were determined based on Dahlia flowers that harvested at different harvest stages (3, 4 and 5 layers). As a result; the most extended vase life was measured in the gibberellic acid treatment (8.22 days), the highest proportional fresh weight was measured in the carvacrol in the 6th day (139.78%), the highest daily solution uptake was measured in the thyme oil in 0-2 days (11.7 g/day FW) and the highest total solution uptake was measured in the thyme oil (27.5 g/stem). It was concluded that the vase life of earlier harvested flowers was longer than of late harvested.

Published: November 2020

Abstract Hibiscus coddii subsp. barnardii is an endemic South African plant species with ornamental potential. The limited plant availability in nature and restrictions on the collection of living plant material (cuttings) for cultivation purposes, necessitated the development of a protocol for in vitro seed propagation to ensure all year round ex vitro establishment of plants. The effect of culture medium on seed germination and seedling performance was therefore studied. Various types of sterile seed cultures, namely moist filter paper bridges, five different strengths (¼, ½, –, full, 1¼) of PGR-free Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) and solid Gelrite® medium (control) were investigated. High germination percentages (85%-98%) were found in all three seed cultures, although seeds germinated on filter paper, Gelrite ® and lower strengths (¼, ½, –) of MS medium had shorter mean germination times (1.6-2.8 days) than those germinated on full and 1¼ strengths (3.5-4 days) of MS medium. Furthermore, the growth performance of seedlings varied with the strength of MS medium and was best supported on full strength MS medium, whereas ¼ and ½ strength MS media and Gelrite® cultures were detrimental for seedling growth.

Published: November 2020

Abstract The painting of sports turfs with colorants is a common practice, with the main objective to maintain grass appearance for maximum aesthetic quality. Colorants are used to provide green color to grasses during periods of stress and dormancy and are considered an alternative for warm weather grasses during the winter months. Recent increases in the use of colorants is due to water conservation efforts as well as lower operating costs compared to winter overseeding. The objective of this study was to evaluate durability and doses of organic colorant in terms of visual quality of DiscoveryTM bermudagrass. The experiment was installed in the field, subdivided into plots of DiscoveryTM bermudagrass treated with lawn-specific commercial, organic colorant as follows 0 ml L-1 (Control); 33 ml L-1; 50 ml L-1; 66.6 ml L-1 (manufacturer’s recommendation); 83 ml L-1; 100 ml L-1. At 10 day intervals the green color index, reflectance, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and digital images were measured and assessed. The results indicate that, given the durability of the product, doses between 66.6 and 83.3 ml L-1 are recommended.

Published: November 2020

Abstract With the increasing popularization of football (soccer), new technologies have arrived in Brazil that assist in the maintenance of sports fields, making it possible to increase the quality of turfgrass in both professional and amateur fields. Thus, the revitalization process has become fundamental in sports fields installed with emerald grass to improve game performance and turfgrass development. The objective of this study was to revitalize an amateur sports field in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil, planted with emerald grass. The conditions of the field were initially assessed and a set of revitalization procedures were carried out from November 2019 to March 2020 to improve turfgrass quality, including: chemical analysis of the soil and liming; mowing of the grass and disposal of clippings; soil decompaction through aeration with solid tines; application of sand (top dressing); pest and weed control; planting of new sod; fertilization and maintenance. Technical training with employees was also conducted for subsequent field maintenance. All tested operations were essential and necessary to improve the aesthetics and quality of the amateur sports field, so that the turfgrass could be revitalized and ready for use in soccer matches.

Authors: Pourzarnegar Firoozeh , Hashemabadi Davood , Kaviani Behzad
Published: November 2020

Abstract Lisianthus is a major cut flower, but it has a short vase life. To prolong postharvest longevity and improve quantitative and qualitative traits of cut lisianthus flowers, an experiment was conducted on the basis of a Completely Randomized Design with eight treatments on 120 flower sprays in three replications. The experimental treatments included salicylic acid (SA) at the rates of 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1, cerium nitrate [Ce(NO3)3] at the rates of 20, 40, 80, and 200 μM, and control (distilled water). The results revealed that the flowers treated with 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and those treated with 100 mg L-1 SA had the longest vase life of 15.42 and 15.20 days, respectively. Also, these treatments were most effective in improving water uptake, reducing microbial load at the stem end, and enhancing petals’ protein content. The lowest malondialdehyde (18.65 nmol g-1fresh weight) was related to the treatment of 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and 100 mg L-1 SA. These treatments showed the lowest polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, too. The activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and peroxidase (POD) antioxidant enzymes was significantly higher in the flowers treated with 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and 100 mg L-1 SA. The treatment of 200 mg L-1 SA had negative effects on all the recorded traits. So, it can be concluded that the treatment of cut lisianthus flowers with 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and 100 mg L-1 SA can prolong their postharvest longevity by reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Authors: Cavalcanti Pauline , Fernandez Michelle
Published: November 2020

Resumo Este artigo realizou uma análise das principais mudanças no arcabouço normativo do Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica, a partir de documentos oficiais do Ministério da Saúde divulgados de julho 2011 a julho de 2019. Os achados revelam que a maioria das mudanças não ficaram claras, dificultando a compreensão do desenho do programa e o acompanhamento dos resultados das equipes de atenção básica. Ocorreram mudanças no desenho geral do programa e mais intrinsecamente às fases ou componentes. Foram modicadas a arquitetura das fases; as regras na adesão ao programa; a forma de verificação da autoavaliação; o monitoramento dos indicadores em função da implantação de um novo sistema de informação ou por deficiências técnicas para utilização de determinado indicador; a avaliação externa com relação às regras para solicitação e prazos para receber a avaliação, ao descredenciamento das equipes, e aos parâmetros e método adotados; e a certificação mais radicalmente na valoração dos componentes e na metodologia de cálculo e categorias de classificação das equipes. O programa apostou em diversas estratégias para qualificação da atenção básica. Embora com limitações e incompletudes, percebê-las é uma oportunidade de buscar soluções viáveis para o refinamento da política de saúde.

Resumo A formação dos recursos humanos em saúde deve preparar um profissional para atuar multi- e interdisciplinarmente, de forma integral em todos os níveis de atenção. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar avanços e desafios na formação do cirurgião-dentista após a promulgação das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) no que diz respeito à promoção da saúde, focando a abordagem do aleitamento materno (AM) e alimentação complementar saudável (ACS). Utilizou-se pesquisa qualitativa, com análise documental dos projetos pedagógicos (PP), ementas e planos de ensino e entrevistas semiestruturadas com professores das disciplinas de Odontopediatria e Ortodontia de seis faculdades paulistas, de março a maio de 2018. As análises mostraram que os PP estão alinhados com as DCN, mas há pouca abordagem destinada ao AM e ACS como promotores de saúde bucal. O estudo concluiu que houve avanços na formação dos recursos humanos em saúde baseados em sólido arcabouço formado pela legislação brasileira. Há, no entanto, desafios a serem considerados, sendo necessário avançar no desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências preconizadas pelas DCN em temas que ampliem a promoção da saúde. As instituições de ensino superior precisam favorecer que os PP se concretizem formando profissionais alinhados com suas propostas e as novas demandas do sistema de saúde.

Published: November 2020

Resumo O princípio da descentralização do SUS percorreu uma longa trajetória desde sua fundação. As normativas instituídas ao longo do tempo apontaram um processo da regionalização em detrimento da municipalização. A publicação do Decreto n° 7.508/11 legitimou as regiões de saúde e seu respectivo espaço de pactuação para a elaboração do planejamento e a tomada de decisão. Considerando tais aspectos, o estudo analisou a governança e o planejamento em saúde na II Região de Saúde do Estado de Pernambuco, por meio de estudo qualitativo, utilizando a análise documental proveniente das atas e pautas da Comissão Intergestores Regional e a análise de conteúdo de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com os gestores municipais da região. Os resultados demonstraram o protagonismo da CIR na governança regional, apesar das evidentes fragilidades no processo de planejamento regional e nas estruturas das redes de atenção à saúde.

Authors: Martins Jéssyca Dellinhares Lopes , Soratto Rogério Peres , Fernandes Adalton Mazetti
Published: November 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of humic substances (HS) and phosphorus fertilizer on the growth, P uptake, tuber yield, fertilizer P recovery (FPR), and applied P-use efficiency (APUE) of potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivated in a sandy and in a clayey soils. In both soils, the experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design, in a 4×3 factorial arrangement, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of four P rates (0, 100, 200, and 400 kg ha-1 P2O5) and of three HS rates (0, 50, and 300 L ha-1). Phosphate fertilization increased the P uptake and tuber yield of potato in both soils. Soil characteristics conditioned the effect of the addition of HS. In the sandy soil, with a lower content of organic matter (OM) than the clayey soil, the addition of HS increases the P uptake and FPR, besides providing a greater tuber yield and APUE, especially under the P absence or with the application of a reduced P rate. In the clayey soil, HS does not affect the response of potato to P fertilization.

Published: November 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to characterize the starch of Xanthosoma riedelianum, commonly known as “mangarito” in Brazil, and to evaluate its properties for the food industry. The starch was characterized as to its morphology and its thermal and technological properties. Morphology was evaluated by the analysis of granule size distribution, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The thermal properties were examined by determining the initial, peak, and conclusion gelatinization temperatures, whereas the technological properties were obtained by analyzing viscosity, swelling power, solubility index, paste clarity, and syneresis. Although the extraction of X. riedelianum starch showed a low yield, the species is a source of starch with a high sticking temperature, mechanical stirring resistance, tendency to retrograde, and final viscosity. Therefore, this starch is ideal for products that require high viscosity, such as pie fillings, puddings, children’s foods, and bakery products, and its paste, which is opaque and viscous, can also be used in the formulation of broths.

Lattice simulation of concrete compressive behaviour as indirect tension failure
Authors: Aydin Beyazit B. , Binici Baris , Tuncay Kagan
Published: November 2020

A vast number of numerical approaches have been used to simulate the non-linear behaviour of concrete and reinforced concrete members at different scales. Most approaches were based on the finite-element method and have a variety of disadvantages when modelling brittle materials. Thanks to increasing computational power, mesoscale lattice models have been developed to achieve more accurate results for the width and pattern of cracks. Among different element choices for the lattice network, the use of truss elements is more efficient than beam or shear elements. In this study, a two-dimensional mesoscale lattice model is proposed with the novelty of grid perturbation to enable the prediction of compression failure as a consequence of tension failure. A novel calibration technique is proposed to determine the magnitude of grid perturbation. Uniaxial compression simulations to investigate the relationship between tensile and compressive strengths are described. The length scale and grid dependency of the model are investigated numerically. In addition, compression strut experiments and overreinforced concrete beam tests are simulated to validate the proposed approach. Promising numerical results show that compression failure can be estimated using lattice models that have tension failure only.

Published: November 2020

Groundwater is the world's central supply of fresh water. Water supply policies, particularly in dry seasons, thus need to be based on accurate modelling of groundwater level (GWL) fluctuations. In the work reported in this paper, a hybrid wavelet-transform-based extreme learning machine (ELM) model was investigated for predicting GWL. Two other popular models – a wavelet-transform based artificial neural network and a wavelet-transform-based adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system – were used to evaluate the model. GWL data and mean temperatures of observation wells in an Iranian watershed between 1981 and 2017 were used in the study. The performance of the models was assessed be evaluating their root mean square error, correlation coefficient and mean absolute error. The wavelet-transform-based ELM model outperformed the other two models with a correlation coefficient of 0.983 during a 1 month period. The model was also superior to the others in terms of training and testing speeds.
Short-Term Funding Stresses and Asset Prices: Lessons from U.S. History
Authors: Weiss Colin
Published: November 2020

Recent stress episodes in U.S. short-term dollar funding markets have brought renewed attention to the functioning of these markets and how they interact with capital markets more generally. The history of U.S. money markets and stock and bond markets before the founding of the Federal Reserve offer a unique perspective on how the structure of money markets can contribute to broader asset price fluctuations.

Introducción: La disponibilidad y calidad de la infraestructura de los parques juegan un papel importante en el uso y el comportamiento activo de niños y adolescentes.

Métodos: Entre agosto y diciembre de 2015 se seleccionaron 10 parques públicos en Bucaramanga (Colombia); su calidad fue evaluada con el Physical Activity Resource Assessment – PARA; el número de usuarios por sexo y grupo etario mediante el System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities – SOPARC. Las características de infraestructura se midieron mediante fotogrametría con vehículos aéreos no tripulados (UAV Ebee) y un escáner laser terrestre TLS - RIEGL VZ-400. Las asociaciones se exploraron con pruebas de c2 y coeficientes de correlación de Spearman.

Resultados: Se realizaron 17671 observaciones, los hombres visitaron más los parques (65,3%), especialmente entre 3:00 y 7:00 p.m, con más niños durante el fin de semana y adolescentes entre semana. Se observaron bajos porcentajes de calidad en los parques (25%-49%). La disponibilidad de áreas verdes, árboles, área del parque y calidad en la accesibilidad se asociaron positiva y significativamente con la visita de mujeres adolescentes.

Conclusión: Las características del medio ambiente construido se asocian con el número de usuarios de manera diferencial por grupo etario y género, información útil para los planeadores urbanos y tomadores de decisión para la renovación y generación del espacio público relativo a los parques.
Cosmologie
Authors: Poirier Sylvie
Published: November 2020

Le terme « cosmologie » réfère aux théories que les sociétés ont élaborées sur l’origine, la composition et la dynamique de l’univers (cosmos), sur ses propriétés spatiales et temporelles, sur les puissances, les êtres et les objets qui le constituent et les relations entre ceux-ci, et enfin sur la place qu’occupe l’être humain au sein de cet univers. Porteuses d’un savoir sur le monde et sur les êtres, humains et non humains, qui y coexistent, les cosmologies, celle des physiciens, des Aztèques ou des Aborigènes australiens, sont aussi des ontologies et des anthropologies. Plus souvent qu’autrement, les cosmologies, aussi nommées « vision du monde » ou « cosmovision », relèvent à la fois de la physique et de la métaphysique. Elles sont un lieu où savoir, imaginaire et merveilleux s’amalgament pour penser l’origine, le déploiement et le devenir du cosmos. Les cosmologies et les récits qui les accompagnent sont qualifiés tantôt de « scientifique / moderne », de « religieux / mythique » ou de « traditionnel / autochtone » ; une autre distinction est celle entre cosmologies moderne et non moderne. Le terme « cosmogonie » réfère quant à lui plus spécifiquement aux théories sur les origines de l’univers, aux récits pour signifier le chaos primordial avant l’ordre (cosmos). À l’instar des cosmologies, les cosmogonies sont aussi des ontologies. Les récits cosmologiques et cosmogoniques, soient-ils de type scientifique ou mythique, sont toujours polysémiques, sujets à des interprétations diverses, souvent divergentes et contestées. Ces récits, dès lors qu’ils sont validés et portés par une parole d’autorité, ont valeur de vérité dans le contexte social et culturel de leur énonciation. Le concept de « cosmologie » se présente comme un « fait social total », tel que l’avaient souligné Durkheim, Mauss et leurs contemporains.
Humanitaire
Authors: Bodineau Sylvie
Published: November 2020

L’aide humanitaire désigne l’assistance aux victimes de catastrophes naturelles et de guerres. Elle est étudiée par l’anthropologie en termes de gouvernementalité, d’économies morales, de relations d’altérité, de pratique transnationale des droits humains, dans sa praxis et au cœur de ses « circuits » entre discours, représentations, et pratiques.
Afrocentrisme
Authors: Guedj Pauline
Published: November 2020

À partir des années 1960, l’afrocentrisme s’est développé comme un courant académique visant à donner la parole aux peuples d’Afrique et à en faire les acteurs de leur histoire. Dans les années 2000, l’afrocentrisme académique est en proie à de vives dissensions. Aujourd’hui, le terme et l’idéologie afrocentriques n’apparaissent plus seulement dans les débats des universitaires, mais aussi dans les usages sociaux, culturels et artistiques de populations qui les conçoivent comme un outil d’affirmation identitaire.
Sujet
Authors: Laplantine François
Published: November 2020

Le sujet est devenue la question cruciale de notre époque. Il convient de réfléchir à son élimination en trois formes : sa destruction radicale (génocides), sa discrimination (coloniale, raciale, sexuelle), sa neutralisation dans les sociétés contemporaines en apparence les plus démocratiques. L’anthropologie doit désintriquer le sujet de la notion d’individu, construction historique et culturelle qui n’a rien d’universel, et poser la question : comment ceux qui sont considérés comme objets peuvent (re)devenir acteurs ?
Mémoire
Authors: Lapierre Nicole
Published: November 2020

Confrontée à la façon dont pratiques et croyances se transmettent ou se transforment, à la demande de reconnaissance du passé des peuples, aux conflits mémoriels, à l’extension de la notion de patrimoine, l’anthropologie de la mémoire est devenue un ample domaine de recherche.
Erotisme
Authors: Levy Joseph
Published: November 2020

Les théories anthropologiques sur l’érotisme tendent à se préciser. Cette entrée vise à cerner sa généalogie et à dégager les lignes de force dans ce domaine à partir d’une recension bibliographique. Celle-ci montre la prégnance contemporaine des modèles constructivistes et les problématiques entourant le champ des émotions, des affects, du désir et du plaisir.
Châtiment
Authors: Fassin Didier
Published: November 2020

Le châtiment est censé être la réponse juste, administrée par une autorité instituée, à une violation des lois ou des normes, et cette réponse repose sur l’infliction d’une souffrance. L’article étudie ce concept à travers l’enquête généalogique, l’enquête ethnographique et l’enquête sociologique.
Enfance
Authors: Girard Marie-Pier
Published: November 2020

Les études contemporaines de l’enfance permettent d’établir que la conception des premières années  qui prévaut aujourd’hui et qui se trouve enchâssée dans la Convention relative aux droits de l’enfant (CRDE) est historiquement et culturellement spécifique. L’anthropologie doit rester critique au regard des discours hégémoniques sur l’enfance et des pratiques globalisées intervenant sur les enfances « autres », tout en poursuivant un engagement auprès des filles et des garçons qui subissent des violations à leurs droits.
Pardon
Authors: Jewsiewicki Bogumil
Published: November 2020

Le pardon vient d’entrer dans le discours politique. Ses usages pour restaurer un vivre ensemble sont influencés par le christianisme, pourtant le sens du pardon et ses acceptabilités varient. Contrairement à la philosophie et la science politique, l’anthropologie lui accorde relativement peu d’intérêt.
Plurivers
Authors: Eberhard Christoph
Published: November 2020

Dans les sciences sociales, les théories se pluralisent, se complexifient, et deviennent plus dynamiques et plus interculturelles. Cette irruption du pluralisme et de la complexité qui invite à s’émanciper d’une logique de l’exclusion des contraires pour s’orienter vers une logique de la complémentarité des différences dessine l’horizon d'un plurivers émergent.
Traduction
Authors: Borutti Silvana
Published: November 2020

Cette entrée présente une conception élargie de la traduction entendue comme un processus de transformation symbolique ouvrant à la différence. Le geste traductif est à la base de la connaissance anthropologique. Celle-ci retient deux aspects de la pratique interculturelle de la traduction : son caractère nécessairement partiel et l’expérience de l’altérité.
Culture
Authors: Remotti Francesco
Published: November 2020

Il n'y a pas peu d'anthropologues qui dédaignent le concept de culture, dont leur science est née. Avec toutes ses extensions, ce concept démontre une grande capacité d'application et une vitalité prononcée. Héritiers de la "science de la culture" (Tylor), les anthropologues ne peuvent pas échapper à cet important défi épistémologique.
Identité
Authors: Remotti Francesco
Published: November 2020

Il est instructif de voir comment l'identité, évitée par Radcliffe-Brown, critiquée par Lévi-Strauss, est entrée dans le jargon des anthropologues depuis Malinowski. La question à laquelle il faut répondre est la suivante : l'identité est-elle un outil indispensable pour les anthropologues ou est-elle un mythe, dont nous devons nous distancier ?
Anthropologie israélienne
Authors: Dominguez Virginia

Explorant le passé et le présent de l'anthropologie en Israël, cette entrée examine les pratiques et les objectifs anthropologiques en Israël. Elle discute également de l'existence d'une association anthropologique israélienne, de son travail au cours des dernières décennies et de ses luttes avec la politique israélienne et ses propres limites. Elle comprend une discussion sur les changements que les anthropologues en Israël ont apportés depuis que l'anthropologie s'est établie en Israël.
Violence extrême
Authors: Moussaoui Abderrahmane
Published: November 2020

L’idée de « violence extrême » peut renvoyer à la guerre, bien que l’anthropologie ne l’ait jamais directement caractérisée ainsi. En effet, les scènes de guerre sont souvent le théâtre d’actes brutaux, et ce, même si le nombre de victimes n’est pas élevé. Ainsi, nous retrouvons une multitude d’actes pouvant être rattachés à la violence extrême et qui ont un lourd impact émotionnel.

Prognostic Indicators for Anterior Mandibular Repositioning in Adolescents with Class II Malocclusion: A Cross-Sectional Cephalometric Study
Authors: Chae Jong-Moon , Park Jae Hyun , Kim Seon-Hye , Mangal Utkarsh , Seo Hye Young
Published: November 2020

Objective: To investigate the cephalometric changes following anterior repositioning of the mandible for predicting the treatment effects in Class II adolescent patients. Study Design: Lateral cephalograms of 28 patients (ANB > 4°) were taken in centric occlusion (CO) and edge-to-edge bite (EtoE) before orthodontic treatment. The patients were classified into two groups according to their mandibular plane angle [MPA; low MPA (LMPA) ≤ 28° and high MPA (HMPA) > 28°]. Cephalometric changes of hard and soft tissues were measured and analyzed with an x-y cranial base coordinate system. Results: For CO to EtoE, there were no significant cephalometric changes between HMPA and LMPA, but the horizontal ratio of soft to hard tissue pogonion (H-Pog′/H-Pog) change was significantly greater with LMPA than with HMPA while the vertical ratio (V-Pog′/V-Pog) showed vice versa. For CO to EtoE, MPA showed significant correlations with H-Pog′/H-Pog and V-Pog′/V-Pog. Y-axis angle, V-Pog′/V-Pog and H-Pog′/H-Pog can be used as good tools to discriminate between HMPA and LMPA. Conclusion: Cephalometric findings for CO to EtoE may be useful in predicting the vertical and horizontal changes of hard and soft tissues with the treatment of growing adolescents having various vertical skeletal patterns of Class II malocclusion.
