Published: March 2016

The aim was to develop a nursing care protocol for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced mucositis at an outpatient clinic of a High Complexity Center in Oncology. A qualitative convergent-care research was undertaken. The construction of the protocol was driven by the criteria of Evidence-Based Practice. Data were collected from January to June 2013 in two steps. Firstly, we collected data on medical charts of customers to obtain sociodemographic and therapeutic data and nursing interventions performed for prevention, detection and treatment of mucositis. After this first step, workshops were held with the nurses to validate the available material and human resources, besides the feasible care to compose the protocol. Care was related to oral hygiene, mouth rinse, cryotherapy, laser therapy and interventions related to the nutritional scope. The implementation of this care protocol has standardized the care strategies.

Authors: Mesquita Simone Karine da Costa , Meneses Rejane Millions Viana , Ramos Déborah Karollyne Ribeiro
Published: March 2016

Resumo O estudo objetivou identificar as dificuldades vivenciadas pelos docentes na implementação de metodologias ativas no curso de graduação em enfermagem de uma instituição federal localizada no Rio Grande do Norte. Tratou-se de pesquisa exploratório-descritiva com enfoque qualitativo. As entrevistas semiestruturadas foram aplicadas a vinte sujeitos nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2011 e, posteriormente, analisadas seguindo pressupostos da análise de conteúdo. As principais adversidades elencadas pelos sujeitos da pesquisa foram agrupadas em três categorias de análise: problemas curriculares como empecilho para a aplicação de metodologias ativas de ensino/aprendizagem; resistência do docente em implementar metodologias ativas de ensino/aprendizagem; e dificuldade de compreensão da aplicabilidade das metodologias ativas de ensino/aprendizagem na prática docente. Diante de tais dificuldades, fez-se necessário introduzir novas formas de organizar e produzir o conhecimento, uma vez que a utilização de metodologias ativas poderia favorecer a formação de sujeitos com visão ampliada de saúde, ativos e comprometidos com a transformação da realidade. Compreender a utilização de metodologias ativas é fundamental para atender aos pressupostos do paradigma educacional contemporâneo.

Published: March 2016

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de biochar aplicado com os macronutrientes N e P, para a formação de substratos, no desenvolvimento de mudas de angico (Anadenanthera colubrina) para a restauração florestal. Os experimentos foram realizados em viveiro florestal, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Estudaram-se interações entre concentrações crescentes de biochar e de N, na forma de ureia, e de biochar e P, na forma de superfosfato simples, adicionados a Latossolo Amarelo. Determinaram-se os parâmetros de crescimento, qualidade e nutrição das mudas, e os resultados foram submetidos ao estudo de regressão polinomial (superfície de resposta). A interação entre biochar e N beneficiou a qualidade e a concentração foliar de Mg das mudas de angico, apesar de não influenciar o crescimento das plantas. As mudas de angico submetidas à aplicação de biochar e P mostraram maior qualidade e eficiência de uso dos nutrientes Ca e K. A adição de biochar ao substrato, junto com N e P, apresenta potencial de uso para a produção de mudas de qualidade, o que favorece o sucesso de práticas de restauração florestal em regiões com baixa fertilidade do solo e sujeitas a períodos de estresse hídrico.
Maintenance of Brazilian Biodiversity by germplasm bank

Published: March 2016

Abstract: Currently the importance of using alternative strategies for biodiversity conservation is emphasized and since the establishment of germplasm bank is an alternative to the conservation of endangered species. This is a technique of great importance for the maintenance of Brazilian fauna. Since the early70'sthere was a growing concern about the need to preserve essential genetic resources for food and agriculture, mainly for conservation of genetic material from farm animals. Thus was created the Brasilia Zoo, in July 2010, the first Germplasm Bank of Wild Animals in Latin America, as an alternative strategy for the conservation of threatened or endangered species, using both gametes and somatic cells and stem cells. Then we argue to create new banks or research networks among different regions with aimed to tissue preservation.

Published: March 2016

The objective of this study was to evaluate the weed community in a raw sugarcane renovation area with three soil managements and peanut sowing in succession. The experiment was conducted during the 2007/08 season on a raw sugarcane area harvested without prior burning in the last five cuts. A randomized block design with treatments arranged in a split plot and arranged in four replications was used. The main treatments consisted of three cropping systems: conventional tillage, minimum tillage and direct planting, and subplots consisted in the absence (resting) or presence of crop rotation with peanuts. After 135 days from planting peanuts and 180 days of sugarcane harvest, the number of weeds m-2 was counted and the shoot dry biomass of the weeds collected was determined. The data were interpreted by analysis of variance and the means were compared by Tukey's test at 5% probability so that phytosociological indices a, b, c e d were calculated. The use of soil conservation tillage and peanut in rotation with sugarcane in the renovation areas is effective in controlling weeds and suppression of weed species difficult to control like Cyperus rotundus, Commelina bengalensis, Urochloa plantaginea, and Digitaria nuda.
Contribuições metodológicas para a análise dos sentidos em um estudo sobre atividade docente
Authors: Silva Vanessa Cristina da , Davis Claudia Leme Ferreira
Published: March 2016

Resumo O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma discussão a respeito do método utilizado em uma pesquisa que visa a identificar e explicar os sentidos e significados da atividade docente. A pesquisa é de caráter qualitativo e está fundamentada nos pressupostos teórico--metodológicos da psicologia sócio-histórica. Condizente com a linha teórica escolhida, opta ainda pela proposta metodológica de Aguiar e Ozella (2006), que sugerem a construção e a análise de “núcleos de significação”. Dentre as categorias de análise oferecidas pelo referencial adotado, a fundamental para a pesquisa é a de sentido. A pergunta que move este estudo, frequentemente feita por muitos pesquisadores ou que , pelo menos, deve ser, é: como a escolha do método e dos procedimentos pode contribuir para a realização da análise? Sendo assim, a principal discussão que este artigo suscita – e, portanto, seu tema fundamental – é a contribuição de procedimentos já notórios, como a entrevista individual recorrente, e de procedimentos não tão usuais, como os recursos de sensibilização, nesse tipo de análise que busca a apreensão dos sentidos da atividade docente. O resultado da pesquisa evidencia que uma nova forma de entender e trabalhar com esses procedimentos pode possibilitar um maior domínio e envolvimento do pesquisador com o processo investigativo e, sobretudo, ampliar o alcance construtivo-interpretativo da análise. A conclusão assinala a necessidade de empregar novos instrumentos para análise dos sentidos.
Projeto Fénix: o que pensam os alunos sobre os fatores que promovem as suas aprendizagens?
Authors: Alves José Matias , Cabral Ilídia
Published: March 2016

Resumo A problemática deste texto incide sobre a percepção de dois grupos de alunos com desempenhos acadêmicos diferenciados quanto aos fatores que desempenham mais influência na consecução das suas aprendizagens. Pretende-se conhecer o que é que os dois grupos mais valorizam e se há diferenças nessa percepção de impacto. Através de um inquérito por questionário aberto a 39 alunos de dezesseis escolas/agrupamentos da rede Fénix (programa Mais Sucesso Escolar), estratificados em dois grupos (alunos com bons resultados escolares e alunos com fraco aproveitamento), conhecemos as suas representações sobre os fatores que mais os fazem aprender. Para ler essa produção, usou-se a categorização das boas escolas apresentada por MacBeath (1999), concluindo-se que as variáveis apoio às suas aprendizagens, relações existentes quer entre alunos quer entre estes e os docentes, a organização e comunicação e o valor que reconhecem na educação são as mais referidas, o que está em linha com a generalidade do conhecimento disponível. Concluiu-se ainda que as variáveis de natureza mais organizacional e não diretamente observáveis pelos alunos tendem a não ser referenciadas, sobretudo no caso dos alunos com desempenhos escolares mais baixos. Por fim, anotam-se alguns riscos implícitos de um projeto que faz da diferenciação uma mais-valia educativa, mas que pode fazer emergir a crescente desigualdade entre alunos.
A gestão acadêmica da pós-graduação lato sensu: o papel do coordenador para a qualidade dos cursos
Authors: Fonseca Marília , Fonseca Dirce Mendes da
Published: March 2016

Resumo O texto tem com o foco de análise o papel e a concepção dos cursos de pós-graduação lato sensu a partir de sua contextualização e dos marcos regulatórios. Destaca a função acadêmica atribuída às instituições de ensino e aos gestores, com vistas a refletir sobre as funções políticas, administrativas e pedagógicas de coordenadores de cursos de pós-graduação, com especial destaque para os cursos lato sensu. O referencial metodológico utilizado tomou como base os pareceres, as resoluções e portarias emitidas pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC) e pelo Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE), a partir dos anos 1960. Examinou, ainda, a literatura voltada para a análise crítica sobre a normatização dos cursos. O artigo reflete sobre a contração do financiamento da educação superior na década de 1990, o que facilitou o aumento expressivo de instituições privadas e, particularmente, a proliferação de cursos lato sensu, entre eles, os cursos corporativos oferecidos por instituições públicas. Essa ocorrência, somada à inexistência de regulamentação para a oferta, traz riscos para a qualidade desses cursos. O texto evoca as responsabilidades de coordenadores e gestores de cursos pela garantia da qualidade dos cursos, intensificando a interlocução entre teoria e prática, a articulação entre conteúdos e o mundo do trabalho, e, essencialmente, a dimensão formativa do aluno, que supõe prepará-lo para o exercício da ética e da cidadania em quaisquer das dimensões sociais em que venha a inserir-se no futuro.
Construções coletivas em educação do campo inclusiva: reflexões sobre uma experiência na formação de professores
Authors: Lopes Juliana Crespo , Pulino Lucia Helena Cavasin Zabotto , Barbato Mariana , Pedroza Regina Lucia Sucupira
Published: March 2016

Resumo A educação do campo é resultado de um processo de transformação de valores e práticas na sociedade civil na forma de política do movimento social do campo. Neste artigo, exploramos a proposta de uma educação do campo inclusiva através de uma pesquisa realizada em um curso de formação de professores sobre o tema. A educação do campo se apresenta como um espaço aberto para trabalhar ideias sobre educação inclusiva, uma vez que pauta suas práticas em uma educação que saia dos moldes tradicionais e que valorize os sujeitos envolvidos. O trabalho de formação de professores realizado foi pautado em práticas reflexivas sobre o tema, em quatro encontros para uma pesquisa de mestrado de uma das autoras. Para este artigo, optamos por analisar as discussões e falas que emergiram durante o segundo encontro, uma vez que este foi o início do processo de construção de um espaço reflexivo aberto a possibilidades. A reflexão de futuros educadores sobre as questões com as quais irão lidar em sala de aula apareceu como um ponto bastante interessante para que seja realizada uma construção coletiva em cursos de licenciatura em educação do campo e se elabore uma possibilidade real e contextualizada de uma educação do campo inclusiva.
SÍNTESE E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DE ZEÓLITAS OBTIDAS A PARTIR DE CINZAS VOLANTES DE CARVÃO
Authors: Lacerda Luciane Venturini , Alves Annelise Kopp , Berutti Felipe Amorim
Published: March 2016

Usinas termoelétricas a carvão geram aproximadamente 3 milhões de toneladas de cinzas ao ano. Estas cinzas podem receber uma aplicação nobre como, por exemplo, fotocatalisadores aplicados à descontaminação de águas poluídas por corantes da indústria têxtil. Isso é possível através de utilização das cinzas como fonte de silício para a síntese de zeólitas. Desta forma, neste trabalho foram sintetizadas zeólitas do tipo sodalita, utilizando-se cinzas volantes de carvão da região de Candiota-RS, com diferentes teores de alumínio, e na presença de NaOH como alcalinizante, variando-se o tempo de envelhecimento. Os produtos formados foram caracterizados por DRX, isotermas de adsorção de N2 (BET) e sua morfologia foi analisada por MEV e MET. A atividade fotocatalítica foi medida através do acompanhamento da degradação de solução contendo o corante azul de metileno. Os resultados indicaram que a razão Si:Al e o tempo de envelhecimento influenciam significativamente as propriedades da zeólita sintetizada. A zeólita obtida é do tipo sodalita, formada por aglomerados com partículas primárias de 100nm, cuja área superficial é de aproximadamente 6 m2/g. A atividade fotocatalítica foi bastante significativa e foram observados indicativos de propriedades adsorventes.

Published: March 2016

A survey was carried out in Angola with the aim of collecting vegetable crops. Collecting expeditions were conducted in Kwanza-Sul, Benguela, Huíla and Namibe Provinces and a total of 80 accessions belonging to 22 species was collected from farmers and local markets. Species belonging to the Solanaceae (37 accessions) and Cucurbitaceae (36 accessions) families were the most frequently found with pepper and eggplant being the predominant solanaceous crops collected. Peppers were sold in local markets as a mixture of different types, even different species: Capsicum chinense, C. baccatum, C. frutescens and C. pubescens. Most of the eggplant accessions collected belonged to Solanum aethiopicum L. Gilo Group, the so-called ‘scarlet eggplant’. Cucurbita genus was better represented than the other cucurbit crops. A high morphological variation was present in the Cucurbita maxima and C. moschata accessions. A set of 22 Cucurbita accessions from Angola, along with 32 Cucurbita controls from a wide range of origins, was cultivated in Valencia, Spain and characterised based on morphology and molecularity using a set of 15 microsatellite markers. A strong dependence on latitude was found in most of the accessions and as a result, many accessions did not set fruit. The molecular analysis showed high molecular variability and uniqueness in the collected accessions, as shown by their segregation from the set of global controls. In summary, the material collected is quite valuable because of its uniqueness and the potential of the breeding characteristics it possesses.

Published: March 2016

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da classe de tamanho de leitegada ao nascer sobre a variação do peso ao nascer e ao desmame e sobre a taxa de sobrevivência dos leitões do nascimento ao desmame. Para isso usou-se informações de peso individual ao nascer e ao desmame de leitões de um banco de dados de 295 leitegadas de suínos da raça Landrace, nascidos entre 2000 e 2010, em uma granja de suínos do oeste do estado do Paraná. As leitegadas foram classificadas pelo número total de leitões nascidos em pequenas (até 7 leitões), médias (8 a 13 leitões) e grandes (14 e mais leitões). Os dados foram analisados considerando-se os efeitos de ano de acasalamento das porcas e classe de tamanho de leitegada ao nascer. Correlações entre as características de peso médio e variância do peso e tamanho da leitegada foram maiores nas leitegadas médias e grandes.  Classe de tamanho da leitegada influenciou significativamente peso médio ao nascer e ao desmame dos leitões e variância do peso ao nascer. Leitões de leitegadas médias e grandes pesaram menos, apresentaram maior variação do peso ao nascer e menor taxa de sobrevivência até o desmame do que leitões de leitegadas pequenas.

Doenças neuromusculares raras: um retrato da judicialização no Tribunal Regional Federal da 1ª região
Authors: Costa Paulo Henrique Silva
Published: March 2016

O estudo aborda a judicialização da saúde promovida pelos portadores de doenças neuromusculares raras em face da Política Nacional de Atenção Integral às Pessoas com Doenças Raras. Tratou-se de pesquisa exploratória, descritivo-analítica, quali-quantitativa e de base documental secundária. A coleta de dados foi realizada no sítio eletrônico do Tribunal Regional Federal da 1ª região. Foram selecionados 17 julgados entre os anos de 2007 a 2015. Pacientes com Doença de Pompe, Distrofia Muscular e Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica compreenderam o universo da amostra. A maioria (94,11%), dos dados encontrados, solicitava medicamento não padronizado pelo Sistema Único de Saúde e 76,5% dos processos judiciais foram julgados procedentes pelo tribunal. Concluiu-se que a política específica constituída deve mitigar o número de ações judiciais, porém os resultados demonstraram que o paciente portador de doença neuromuscular rara ainda recorre ao Poder Judiciário para a obtenção de seu tratamento.
Los acuerdos de maternidad subrogada: nuevos retos en la protección de los derechos de la mujer y la infancia
Authors: Martínez MariaOlga Sánchez
Published: March 2016

Los avances en materia de reproducción humana asistida, junto a la relativización de las fronteras, suponen un reto continuo para la ciencia, la ética y el derecho. Un ejemplo de tal situación es la maternidad subrogada, cuya prohibición en algunos países no impide que recurran a ella ciudadanos afectados por tal prohibición en otros Estados cuya práctica está permitida. Tampoco impide que se pretenda el reconocimiento de efectos jurídicos sobre los bebes nacidos sobre aquellos acuerdos. Junto a cuestiones de salud, la protección de los derechos de mujeres y niños, se erigen en los argumentos de referencia que sustentan la nulidad de los acuerdos de gestación subrogada, siendo paradójico que esos mismos argumentos se conviertan en el cauce que va abriendo paso al reconocimiento de efectos jurídicos.
Smart Body or the Problem of Human Corporeality Development in the Context of Outsourced Life. Part 1.
Authors: Smirnov S.A.
Published: March 2016

The paper analyses the issue of a popular trend called ‘life outsourcing’ which affects the structure of personality in an individual. Basing on the works of L.S. Vygotsky and others, the author explores the methodology of the concept of cultural development as a process of formation of an embodied personality or non-organic body. He outlines the search for the approaches to the process of cultural development and for its descriptions in terms of personality construction and ‘soul organism’ which can be traced down in Vygotsky’s works. According to these works, cultural-historical psychology employed a concept of tool- and activity-based personality body, or soul organism. As it is argued in the paper, this concept is to a certain extent incomplete. What happens to the individual’s personality body in a situation of increasingly popular life outsourcing, i.e. when more and more basic functions and actions are transferred from the individual to various devices? Using artistic creativity as an example, the author explores the artist’s transition from working with natural materials to working with devices and focuses on the problem of the artist’s ‘smart body’ losing the feeling of texture and form. The issue is to be continued in the second paper.
Features of Inner Position of Mother in IVF Women
Authors: Yakupova V.A. , Zakharova E.I.
Published: March 2016

This work aims to explore the features of inner position of mother in women who had underwent IVF (in vitro fertilisation) and how these features affect parenthood and child-adult relationships. The study involved 20 mother-baby dyads comprised of women who conceived naturally and 23 dyads comprised of women who had IVF (the infants were 6—12 months old). The mothers from the IVF group expressed more unconditional acceptance of their child and desire for body contact but were less likely to support the child’s initiative than the mothers from the first group. The features of parent-child relationships have a certain impact on the child’s development: the infants whose mothers are ready to support them are likely to be more active. The desire for close body contact is more expressed in those infants whose mothers touch, hug and carry them more frequently. The mothers from the IVF group perceive their parental duties in a positive way, but at the same time experience doubts in their parental competence and are likely to place excessive demands on themselves as mothers.
Relationship between Trust and Acculturation Attitudes (With Ukrainians in Russia and Russians in Latvia as an Example)
Authors: Tatarko A.N.
Published: March 2016

This research focuses on the relationship between various types of trust and acculturation strategies (according to J. Berry’s model) in ethnic minorities and migrants. Trust is a major resource both of an individual and society. On the individual level it is considered as a component of the social psychological capital of personality, and on the societal level — as a core part of the social capital of the society. This study aimed to test the assumption that generalized trust in migrants or minorities is related to their preferred acculturation strategies and that this relationship is mediated by more particular types of trust, such as trust in representa- tives of own ethnic group and trust in representatives of other ethnic groups. The study involved Russians living in Riga, Latvia (N=336) and Ukrainian migrants who have been living in Moscow for approximately 1,5 years (N=80). The outcomes show that generalized trust and trust in representative of non-ethnic groups correlate with the choice of acculturation strategies aimed at integration with the society. Trust in representatives of own ethnic group correlates positively with the choice of the “Separation” strategy.
Tradition of nature and man in the literature (based on the material of comparative analysis of the Russian and English worldviews)
Authors: Ganyushina M.A.
Published: March 2016

The article focuses on the problem of the symbolic properties of language and linguistic sign within of the world language image (further WLI). Its solution offers the prospect of a deeper understanding of the relationship of language and culture. As a subject of study the metaphorical rethinkings of different concepts in English and Russian languages with the components of ancient symbols, legends left their mark on the world perception of different nations. The study shows the way the linguistic sign begins to express symbolic ideas, influence the semantics of expressions, closely cooperating with the cultural space, a myth and modern associations.

Pedagogical knowledge and labour processes: alternation between school and work in Simulated Work Training (SWT)
Authors: Gulisano D.
Published: March 2016

Contemporary pedagogical reflection can make assist in interpreting the connection between scholastic and working contexts. Its principal contribution is to underline reasons for the primacy of the person over the logic of profit, and also to promote the rediscovery of work as a typically human activity with value, functional to the achievement of a person’s life goals. Hence the idea of a curriculum based on the alternation between school and the world of work in Simulated Work Training, with reference to the spirit of initiative and entrepreneurship, and contributing to the integral formation of the person.

Actual problems of development of the Russian language in a multi-ethnic society
Authors: Kurbakova S.N.
Published: March 2016

The author presumes that national communication traditions and rules actually effect the way verbal means are used in speech. The author thinks it is urgent to refer to the Russian experience of multinational interaction which was gained and determined as “friendship of nations” in the Soviet era: it can be employed as a solid, reliable model of the language policy in the multiethnic society. First of all, it is vital to promote and spread the Russian language as well as to secure it from foreign intervention – unreasonable usage of borrowings, mainly from the English language.

Pre-Labeling of Immune Cells in Normal Bone Marrow and Spleen for Subsequent Cell Tracking by MRI
Authors: Siegers Gabrielle M. , Krishnamoorthy Shruti , Gonzalez-Lara Laura E. , McFadden Catherine , Chen Yuhua , Foster Paula J.
Published: March 2016

Iron particles are intravenously (IV) administered to label cells in vivo during magnetic resonance imaging. This technique has been extensively used to monitor immune cells in the context of inflammatory diseases. Here, we have investigated whether resting immune cells can be labeled in vivo in healthy mice before disease onset or injury, thus allowing visualization of critical early cellular events. Using 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging, we were able to detect signal loss in bone marrow, liver, and spleen as early as 1 hour after the IV injection of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Feridex; 80 to 120 nm in diameter) or larger micron-sized iron oxide particles (Bangs; 0.9 μm in diameter). Results were confirmed via histology. Further, flow cytometric analysis confirmed the presence of iron-labeled CD19+ B cells, CD3+ T cells, and CD11b+ myeloid cells within the spleen and the bone marrow. Extending this work to a murine model of multiple sclerosis, we IV administered superparamagnetic iron oxide to healthy mice 1 week before inducing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Images acquired 1 week after the onset of hindlimb paralysis showed regions of signal hypointensity in the mouse brain that corresponded with iron-labeled macrophages. In summary, we show that resting immune cells in the healthy mouse liver, spleen, and bone marrow can be prelabeled with iron oxide nanoparticles. Furthermore, iron oxide preloading of immune cells in the reticuloendothelial system can be used to detect cellular infiltration in the brains of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice.

A Most Curious Lack of Curiosity: Global Unions as the Missing Link in Labour Movement Studies
Authors: Huxtable David
Published: March 2016

This paper is based on the author’s contribution to ‘The Research Agenda for the Left Today’ panel held during the Society for Socialist Studies 2006 conference. It argues that, despite the recent renewal of academic interest in labour movements, there is a gap in contemporary research on organized labour around the existence of and potential future role for actually existing global trade unions. The purpose of this paper is to spark an interest amongst left academics in a future research project on the organizations which comprise the recently created Council of Global Unions, and in particular the recently created International Trade Union Confederation. After a brief introduction to the history of these organizations and an outline of their activities, the author offers a number of questions that may prove interesting for those concerned about the future direction of organized labour at the global level.

Challenging Knowledge Capitalism: Indigenous Research in the 21st Century
Lessons of Occupy: Towards a Consequential Socialist Politics for the 99 Percent
Authors: Amirault Jenna R.
Published: March 2016

This research uses the Occupy Movement as a springboard to discuss contemporary political struggles in Canada. Drawing on the recent experiences of Occupy activists, the author discusses the limitations of non-hierarchical, consensus and prefigurative strategies within social movements. In particular, I suggest that such practices, which are meant to challenge routine social inequalities, actually tend to reproduce them. I then ask how those who are exploited within capitalism can consciously and collectively push contemporary struggle in a socialist direction. Drawing on the works of Marx and Marxist theorists, the paper examines how an understanding of class, capital and hegemony are significant to the contemporary social justice agenda. Thus, insights from the empirical experiences of the Occupy movement are used to explore the broader question of how it is possible to bring about revolutionary transformation to a world capitalist system that is in crisis.
The Limitations of Global Social Movement Unionism as an Emancipatory Labour Strategy in Majority World Countries
Authors: Rahman Zia , Langford Tom
Published: March 2016

This study assesses the applicability of Peter Waterman’s model of global social movement unionism as an emancipatory labour strategy in Bangladesh, an important site for the manufacture of ready-made garments in the neo-liberal era. Our main conclusions are that Waterman’s North Atlanticist model fails to comprehend the present-day necessities and struggles of the Bangladesh working class; ignores the impacts of colonialism, militarism and imperialism on Bangladesh’s socio-economic development and labour movement; and privileges democratic dialogue as a means of action when militant collective mobilization has been shown to be the only effective way to get action on workers’ issues in countries like Bangladesh. Our recommendation is for Waterman and others to abandon the quest for a universal model of progressive labour unionism and instead come up with a variety of models that apply to different typical patterns of socio-economic and labour movement development in the globalized world. Cette étude évalue l’applicabilité du modèle global de syndicalisme de mouvement social de Peter Waterman en tant que stratégie libératrice au Bangladesh, un site important pour la fabrication de textiles dans l’ère néolibérale. Nos conclusions principales sont que le modèle nord-atlantiste de Waterman échoue à comprendre les besoins et souffrances de la classe ouvrière au Bangladesh aujourd’hui; qu’il ignore l’impact du colonialisme, du militarisme et de l’impérialisme sur le développement socio-économique et sur le mouvement ouvrier ; et qu’il privilégie le dialogue démocratique comme seul moyen d’agir alors que la mobilisation collective militante s’est montrée comme la seule manière efficace d’attirer l’attention sur les questions ouvrières dans les pays comme le Bangladesh. Notre recommandation, pour Waterman et d’autres, est d’abandonner la quête d’un modèle universel du syndicalisme progressiste et au lieu de cela de créer une variété de modèles qui s’appliquent aux différentes réalités du développement socio-économique et du mouvement ouvrier dans un monde globalisé.
Politics and Ideology
Authors: Bannerji Himani
Published: March 2016

In this article I wish to exemplify how an anti-ideological critique on “violence against women’” in the era of neoliberal India may be conducted. My main source lies in Marx’s critique of ideology as a body of content, of “ruling ideas” which are hegemonic, as well as the epistemological process of their production. With this understanding I want to speak about the current conjuncture in India of global neoliberal imperialism, of ideological and political use of religion and patriarchy. It appears to me that this fascistic agenda is present elsewhere in the world, where expanding neoliberal capitalism and fundamentalist religious ideology enter into a holy alliance.
The Conditions of Subalternity: Reflections on Subjectivity, Experience and Hegemony
Authors: Vahabzadeh Peyman
Published: March 2016

This paper uses Gayatri Spivak's discussion of Sati and Ranajit Guha's interpretive account of Chandra's death in colonial India in order to critically re-examine the concept of subalternity that runs through various postcolonial theories.  It is argued that there is a major tendency in postcolonial theory to conflate hegemony with domination.  By introducing the concept of experience, enabled by a reading of Antonio Gramsci's theory, the paper relates subalternity to hegemony and discusses that the success or failure of hegemony involves the degree to which hegemonic re-grounding can succeed in maintaining the existential continuum of the subject.

The Politics of Public Sector Wages: Ontario’s Social Dialogue for Austerity
Authors: Evans Bryan
Published: March 2016

The economic crisis has revealed the extent to which sustaining the key tenets of the ‘Common Sense Revolution’, implemented by the Conservative government of Premier Mike Harris, have eroded the fiscal capacity of Ontario. The proposal to freeze public sector wages and the ensuing consultation with public sector unions and employers in the spring/summer of 2010 signal Ontario is about to return to the rollback neoliberalism that dominated the 1990s. The difference between now and then is the more defensive posture of organized labour and the limited capacities that exist to resist such an assault. La crise économique a révélé l’étendue avec laquelle le maintien des principaux principes du ‘Common Sense Révolution’, introduits par le gouvernement conservateur du Premier Mike Harris, a érodé la capacité fiscale de l’Ontario. La proposition de geler les salaires de la fonction publique et la consultation qui s’ensuivit avec les syndicats et les employeurs du secteur public au cours du printemps et de l’été de 2010 indiquent que l’Ontario est sur le point de retourner au néolibéralisme qui dominait les années 1990. La différence entre aujourd’hui et hier est la position plus défensive du mouvement syndical et les capacités limitées qui existent pour s’opposer à une telle attaque.

The Pacification of the American Working Class: A Time Series Analysis
Authors: Rigakos George S. , Ergul Aysegul
Published: March 2016

In this paper we operationalize and empirically test six core tenets of pacification theory derived from Marxian political economy using time series data for the USA from 1972-2009. Our analysis confirms that rising inequality is statistically significantly correlated to increased public and private policing over time and that increased public and private policing is also statistically significantly correlated to increased industrial exploitation as measured through “surplus-value”. While unionization correlates to strikes and lock-outs which suggests that unions have an important mobilizing role for the industrial reserve army, unionization also inversely correlates to total policing employment. As union membership decreases, policing employment increases, which gives credence to the notion that unions may also act as policing agents for capital. We conclude that when these findings are coupled with our previous international research of 45 countries for the snapshot year of 2004 (Rigakos and Ergul 2011) that produced almost identical results, there appears to be significant empirical support for pacification theory. The relationships we have discovered recur both across time and international contexts despite the fact that variations in legal norms and institutional histories of policing are varied and complex.

From Paintings to Power: The meaning of the Warrior Flag twenty years after Oka
Authors: Doxtater (Horn Miller) Kahente
Published: March 2016

As Indigenous peoples we have found it necessary both to react to and to differentiate ourselves from the beliefs, values and practices that have been imposed upon us through colonization. To make our resistance effective, we sometimes use the tools of the dominant society. The Unity Flag in the incarnation that is commonly known as the ‘Mohawk Warrior Flag’ is one example of this phenomenon. Flown all over the world, it serves as a symbol for the unity of Indigenous peoples, illuminating our discordant relationship with a world that remains dominated by beliefs and values that are alien to us. This paper will introduce a Kanienkehaka perspective on the Flag, reconstructing its symbols and history and illustrating how it carries the message of unity-in-resistance for the various peoples who have turned to it for support in their ongoing struggles with colonialism. En tant que peuples Autochtones nous avons trouvé nécessaire de réagir et de se différencier des croyances, valeurs et pratiques qui nous étaient imposées par la colonisation. Pour rendre notre résistance efficace, nous utilisons parfois les outils de la société dominante. Le Drapeau de l’Unité dans l’incarnation, plus souvent connu sous le nom de « Drapeau du Guerrier Mohawk » est un exemple de ce phénomène. Flottant partout dans le monde, il sert de symbole de l’unité des peoples autochtones, mettant en lumière nos relations discordantes avec un monde qui reste dominé par des croyances et valeurs qui nous sont étrangères. Cet article introduit une perspective Kanienkehaka sur le Drapeau, reconstruisant ses symboles et son histoire et illustrant la façon dont le Drapeau porte le message de l’unité-en-résistance pour les divers peuples qui se sont tournés vers lui comme soutien dans leurs luttes en cours contre le colonialisme.
G.A. Cohen and the Ethical Core of Socialism: Equality or Life-Sufficiency?
Authors: Noonan Jeff
Published: March 2016

In this paper I will critically examine G.A.’s Cohen understanding of equality as the normative foundation of socialism. Cohen consistently maintained that inequality was the primary social problem systematically generated by capitalism, and that equality was the primary normative foundation of the socialist alternative. The general question that I want to pose in this paper is: is Cohen’s understanding of equality as the normative foundation of socialism consistent with his general conception of socialism as a systemic alternative to capitalism? I will answer that it is not, because equality is not the best normative foundation for socialism conceived of as a systematic alternative to capitalism, and that elements of Cohen’s own work imply a deeper normative foundation in what I call the principle of life-sufficiency. Cet article examine la façon dont G.A. Cohen comprenait l’égalité comme l’un des fondements normatifs du socialisme. Cohen a argumenté que l’inégalité est le premier problème social du capitalisme, et que l’égalité est le premier fondement normatif de l’alternative socialiste. Dans cet article, je m’interroge sur la cohérence entre l’idée portée par Cohen selon laquelle l’égalité est le fondement normatif du socialisme et sa conception générale du socialisme comme une alternative systémique au capitalisme. Je répondrai à cette question par la négative, dans la mesure où l’égalité n’est pas le meilleur fondement d’un socialisme qui cherche à constituer une alternative systémique au capitalisme, et où certains éléments du travail de Cohen suggèrent un fondement plus profond dans ce que j’appelle le principe d’« autosuffisance ».

21st Century Socialist-Feminism
Authors: Brenner Johanna
Published: March 2016

This article considers feminist politics in the context of global capitalist restructuring. The incorporation of liberal feminist ideas into the contemporary neo-liberal capitalist order of the global north is analyzed through an intersectional lens and in relation to the successful employers’ assault on the working class which set the stage for the defeat of the radical equality demands of feminists, anti-racist activists, indigenous peoples and others which had flourished in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 21st century, it is argued, in response to structural adjustment policies enforced by neo-liberal capitalism in both the global north and global south, women of the working classes have entered the political stage through a broad array of movements. The article explores how these movements are creatively developing socialist feminist politics. The article concludes that this socialist-feminist politics has much to offer the left as it gropes toward new organizational forms and organizing strategies.
