Agatologiczne implikacje paradoksu „walki transcendentaliów” u Hansa Ursa von Balthasara i Józefa Tischnera
Authors: Wołowski Lech
Published: November 2019

W niniejszym artykule rozpatrujemy problem równoważności transcendentaliów: piękna, prawdy i dobra, w ujęciu dwóch znakomitych myślicieli XX wieku: H. U. von Balthasara i J. Tischnera. Opierając się na konfrontacji ich refleksji, wprowadzamy pojęcie paradoksu „walki transcendentaliów” i analizujemy stanowiska filozoficzne, jakie zajmują oni wobec tego zagadnienia. Uzyskane wyniki badań, dotyczące ogółu transcendentaliów, konkretyzujemy następnie na gruncie agatologicznym, na którym najwyraźniej zarysowują się podobieństwa i różnice w poglądach obu autorów. Wspólną płaszczyzną dla Balthasara i Tischnera okazuje się być uznanie dobra jako transcendentale fundamentalnego dla rozwijania refleksji (teo)dramatycznej. Podstawowa różnica ujawnia się w ich postrzeganiu relacji dobra do pozostałych transcendentaliów. Tischner opowiada się za absolutnym prymatem dobra wśród transcendentaliów, Balthasar dopuszcza w tym przypadku jedynie prymat relatywny. W końcowej sekcji pracy zwracamy uwagę na pewne mankamenty obu podejść i proponujemy soteriologiczno-antropologiczny przykład ilustrujący zasadność podejścia Tischnerowskiego.
Fenomenologia i twarz innego. Kontrowersje wokół Lévinasa
Authors: Drwięga Marek
Published: November 2019

W artykule podejmuję dyskusję dotyczącą twarzy innego. Punktem odniesienia będą poglądy E. Lévinasa, który uważał się za fenomenologa. Powstaje pytanie: jakiego rodzaju jest to fenomenologia? Jak rozumieć fenomen? Pytania te wywołały żywą dyskusję. Z jednej strony spotkały się one z krytyką. D. Janicaud zarzuca Lévinasowi „teologiczny zwrot” i porzucenie fenomenologii na rzecz teologii. Z drugiej J. L. Marion stara się przeformułować analizy Lévinasa w duchu nowej fenomenologii. W mojej argumentacji przedstawię najpierw poglądy Lévinasa dotyczące fenomenologii, następnie uwagi krytyczne pod jego adresem, by w końcowej części artykułu ująć fenomen twarzy w języku nowej fenomenologii.
Zasada równego traktowania a sprzeciw sumienia
Authors: Jaworski Krzysztof
Published: November 2019

Artykuł referuje polski stan prawny w zakresie równego traktowania, a w szczególności prezentuje tzw. zasadę równego traktowania, sformułowaną w ustawie z dnia 3 grudnia 2010 r. o wdrożeniu niektórych przepisów Unii Europejskiej w zakresie równego traktowania, zwanej także „ustawą antydyskryminacyjną”. Praca wykazuje, że pewne słabe punkty wspomnianej ustawy rodzą wątpliwości natury konstytucyjnej. W artykule zostały przywołane dwa wyroki sądowe, uznające winnymi pozwanych za złamanie zakazu dyskryminacji. Te wyroki – w opinii autora pracy – świadomie omijają lukę w ustawie antydyskryminacyjnej i przyznając rację powodom, jednocześnie uderzają w gwarantowaną konstytucyjnie wolność sumienia pozwanych. Na tej podstawie można wyciągnąć pesymistyczny wniosek, że niewłaściwie zinterpretowana zasada równego traktowania może w pewnych sytuacjach zagrażać obywatelskiej wolności sumienia.
Wzory osobowe polityka w kodeksach etycznych radnych
Authors: Czakon Tomasz
Published: November 2019

Kodeksy etyczne, także kodeksy etyczne polityków, przyjmowane są po to, aby przeciwdziałać różnym nieetycznym zachowaniom. W artykule, na podstawie analizy 58 kodeksów etycznych radnych, przedstawione są wybrane elementy i dylematy wzorów osobowych polityków. Autor pyta, czy kodeksy etyczne radnych mogą przeciwdziałać nieetycznym zachowaniom. Odpowiada, że część z nich nie może im przeciwdziałać, ponieważ nie spełnia formułowanych wobec nich oczekiwań.
Polityka jako „dobra robota”, czyli podstawy skutecznego przywództwa
Authors: Drelich Sławomir
Published: November 2019

Zasadniczym celem niniejszego tekstu jest wskazanie aktualności koncepcji prakseologii Tadeusza Kotarbińskiego. Teoria sprawnego działania, którą możemy określać również mianem teorii „dobrej roboty”, może być potraktowana jako narzędzie refleksji politologicznej. W niniejszym tekście koncepcja Kotarbińskiego zostaje zaaplikowana do badań nad polityką. Okazuje się, że również działalność społeczną i polityczną można postrzegać jako swego rodzaju „dobrą robotę”. Oczywiście muszą być spełnione odpowiednie warunki. Po pierwsze – Kotarbiński domaga się wyznaczenia celu działań, jakie mają być podjęte. Po drugie – na bazie niniejszego celu trzeba sformułować określony i precyzyjny plan polityczny. Po trzecie – plan ów trzeba w sposób skuteczny zrealizować. Szczegółowe zasady i wskazane etapy, o których mówi filozof, zostaną omówione w tekście.
Uczciwość, rzetelność, doskonałość

Artykuł jest próbą uporządkowania zagadnień uczciwości, rzetelności i arcydzieła w sztuce. Wychodzę od rozjaśnienia relacji między uczciwością, rzetelnością i doskonałością. Następnie prezentuję dzieje kategorii arcydzieła. Początki terminu „arcydzieło” sięgają pojęć średniowiecznych: fr. chef d’oeuvre, niem. Meisterstück i ang. masterpiece. W epoce oświecenia, a potem w romantyzmie termin ten uzyskał swoje wieloaspektowe znaczenie. Często używa się go wobec tych dziel sztuki, które są potężnymi ekspresjami twórczej osobowości artysty.

Published: November 2019

Resumo A significant portion of papaya production in the state of Minas Gerais originates from irrigated crops, and irrigation management using the partial root zone drying technique (PRD) is a fundamental alternative to reduce water waste. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of ‘Tainung 1’ papaya produced under PRD in semi-arid conditions of northern state of Minas Gerais. PRD treatments were composed of reduction of the calculated irrigation water (CIW) by 50%, applied on one side of the irrigation line, with alternation of 7, 14 and 21 days or without alternation and full irrigation, applying 100 % CIW in both lateral plant rows. Each experimental plot consisted of ten plants, and from six plants, fruits were harvested for evaluations at harvest point and when ripe. At harvest point, fruits had peel color, titratable acidity, ratio, pulp size and thickness similar to those produced without water deficit. Firmness, soluble solids content, fresh mass and central cavity diameter are distinct as a function of PRD condition. When ripe, only firmness varied according to PRD treatments. The quality of ‘Tainung 1’ papaya produced by partial root zone drying in semi-arid conditions was not compromised.

Published: November 2019

Abstract The adoption of melon hybrids by the productive sector necessitates a prior evaluation of the productivity, quality and shelf life of their fruits. Due to the different environmental conditions under which the hybrids are evaluated, an accentuated genotype-environmental interaction is expected to become apparent and likewise play important role in manifestation of phenotypic traits. The objective of the present work was to evaluate melon hybrids in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The adaptability and stability of the genetic values were estimated by the HMRPGV method (Harmonic Mean of the Relative Performance of Genetic Values) for the following traits: yield, and soluble solids (SS) content in the period between 2010 to 2015. In 2017, the more promising melon hybrids from previous trials were evaluated under commercial conditions to determine the fruit’s yield, quality and shelf life. The predominance of the complex part of the genotype-environmental interaction was verified for both yield and SS content. Hybrids HC-02 and HC-11 show promising traits when grown under the conditions of the Mossoró-Assu Agricultural Complex owing their high stability, adaptability, yield, and fruit quality. Hybrids HC-02, HC-11, and ‘Hy Mark’ are suitable as international exports due to their long shelf life.

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the clinical and sociodemographic data on acetabular fractures in a Brazilian quaternary care hospital and compare with data reported in the literature. Methods: A descriptive, analytical cross-sectional epidemiological study analyzing 87 patients with acetabular fractures at Hospital São Paulo (UNIFESP/EPM) between 2005 and 2016. Demographic variables such as age, sex, occupation, educational level and color were investigated. Acetabular fractures were classified according to the AO/OTA group and Judet and Letournel classification. Therapeutic approach, hospital length of stay and waiting time for surgery as well as complications were analyzed. Associations were established among the various variables obtained. Results: The mean age of patients with acetabulum fractures was 39.8 years (SD 13.1 years). There was a predominance of posterior wall (34.5%) and dual-column (14.9%) fractures. The average hospital length of stay was 14.4 days. More than 90% of patients underwent a surgical procedure. One-fourth of patients had complications, the main one being infection (12.6%). Conclusions: Unimodal age distribution was obtained with a predominance of white male economically active patients. There was a predominance of posterior wall fractures. More than 90% of patients underwent surgery before they had been in hospital for 14 days. A statistically significant association was found between complications and exceeded length of hospital stay.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the functional outcome of patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury undergoing the Oberlin procedure. Methods: Eighteen patients were assessed, comprising 17 men (94.4%) and 1 woman (5.6%), mean age 29.5 years (range 17-46 years), with upper traumatic brachial plexus injury (C5-C6 and C5-C7). We assessed active range of motion of the elbow, elbow flexion muscle strength and hand-grip strength, and applied the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) questionnaire. Results: Four patients (22.2%) did not achieve effective elbow flexion strength (BMRC Grade 3). Mean active range of motion was 100.2° (±45.6°), and we observed a mean percentage of strength recovery relative to the contralateral limb of 35.5% (0-66.3%). Elbow flexion (p = 0.0001) and hand-grip (p = 0.0001) strength levels were lower on the affected side. Conclusion: The surgical technique described by Oberlin for brachial plexus injuries proved effective for restoring elbow flexion and produced no functional sequelae in the hand. Bicep strength outcomes were better when surgery was performed within 12 months of injury. Level of evidence II, retrospective study.

Authors: Asari Aline Ioshie Akamine , Barros Ricardo André Viana , Borges Marcos Aurélio Perciano
Published: November 2019

Resumo A veia jugular interna direita é considerada a melhor via para um acesso vascular, devido a baixas taxas de complicação e ao fornecimento de fluxo satisfatório durante a hemodiálise dado seu trajeto mais retilíneo para o átrio direito. O presente estudo relata a identificação, prévia à punção, de uma variação anatômica da posição da veia jugular interna em relação à artéria carótida comum. Destaca-se o benefício dessa identificação prévia, enfatizando-se a importância de se realizar a ultrassonografia vascular com Doppler em detrimento de utilizar somente reparos anatômicos externos para a punção da veia jugular interna.

Published: November 2019

Resumo Contexto A amputação de membros pode ser definida como um procedimento que consiste em separar do corpo um membro ou segmento dele. Objetivos Descrever o perfil dos procedimentos de amputações de membros realizados em um hospital estadual de grande porte. Métodos Estudo transversal do tipo descritivo e retrospectivo realizado em um hospital de grande porte da cidade de Recife (PE). Os dados foram coletados em registros de pacientes que foram submetidos à amputação no ano de 2017. Foram incluídos pacientes que tiveram seu membro amputado em 2017 e excluídos aqueles com informações ilegíveis ou incompletas. Resultados Foram realizados 328 procedimentos em 274 pacientes, a maioria do gênero masculino (57,7%). Houve predominância de amputações em membros inferiores (64,2%), de causa não traumática (86,5%) e atendimentos de urgência (96,4%). A maioria dos pacientes submetidos a amputações ficaram internados por um período de 11 a 25 dias (32,1%). Este estudo mostrou que a maioria das pessoas amputadas recebeu alta (69,7%) e uma parte foi a óbito, sendo os óbitos, no caso das amputações de membros inferiores, principalmente de pessoas idosas na faixa etária de 60 a 90 anos (76%), do sexo feminino (55%), e submetidas a uma amputação (91%). Conclusões Os dados apresentados neste estudo são alarmantes, principalmente ao se considerar que muitas das amputações poderiam ter sido evitadas, visto que foram decorrentes de complicações de doenças cuja prevenção e controle podem ser realizados em outros níveis de complexidade do sistema e com custo relativamente baixo.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT: Bovine mastitis has a negative impact on milk production and can pose risks to public health. The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of bovine milk from small farms in the Botucatu/SP region. Somatic cell counts (SCC), identification of pathogens involved in mastitis, and sensitivity antimicrobial profile of staphylococci isolated were performed. The presence of enterotoxin encoding genes in isolates of staphylococci obtained from milk was investigated. Milk samples from individual mammary quarters of cows were submitted to the California mastitis test (CMT) and SCC. Of the 239 dairy cows from 21 dairy herds evaluated (mean = 11.4 animals/property), two cows (0.8%) presented clinical mastitis and 86 (35.9%) subclinical mastitis. Bacterial culture was performed in 177 quarter milk samples. Staphylococci were identified in 55 (31.1%), corynebacteria in 45 (25.4%), streptococci in 25 (14.1%) and coliforms in four (2.3%) milk samples. Average SCC from culture-positive samples was 1598x103 cells/mL, in case of staphylococci was 1362x103 cells/ml, streptococci was 2857x103 cells/mL, corynebacteria was 976x103 cells/mL and in the cases of coliforms 1161x103 cells/mL were obtained. Staphylococci showed a high sensitivity (>95%) to cephalothin, cotrimoxazole, enrofloxacin, and gentamicin, with a 41.2% resistance to penicillin and 11.8% to oxacillin. Both coagulase positive (CPS) and negative staphylococci (CNS) carried genes encoding enterotoxins in 21.6% of the first group and 41.9% in the second. The sea gene was the most detected 45.8% (n=24) between them, followed by seb with 29.2% and sec with 25.0%. The sed gene was not identified. We highlight the potential risk to public health in the possibility of strains of Staphylococcus spp. enterotoxin-producing genes that can cause staphylococcal food poisoning.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of bacteria isolated from the eyes of dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). We evaluated 65 dogs diagnosed with KCS and 30 healthy dogs (Control Group). Conjunctival swab samples were collected after KCS was diagnosed. Microbiological examinations were performed, including aerobic culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination for chloramphenicol, tobramycin, ofloxacin and moxifloxacin. MICs of the fifteen most resistant strains of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (Staphylococcus intermedius Group, SIG) and the fifteen most resistant strains of gram-negative bacteria were determined. By percentage, the microorganisms exhibited the highest susceptibility to polymyxin B, tobramycin and chloramphenicol and the lowest to tetracycline. Three multi-drug-resistant strains of SIG were detected: one displayed isolated susceptibility to cefazolin, another to vancomycin, and another to polymyxin B and amikacin. The species of bacteria isolated from the eyes of dogs with KCS presented variable susceptibility to the antibiotics tested. We found evidence of the emergence of quinolone-resistant strains of SIG and further evidence of increased ocular prevalence. These findings reinforce the need to identify the bacteria involved and their antimicrobial susceptibility profile, as secondary infections can serve as exacerbating and perpetuating factors in KCS.

ABSTRACT: This study described an outbreak of necrohemorrhagic enteritis in a beef cattle feedlot in Nova Crixás, State of Goiás, Brazil, with emphasis on epidemiological, lesional, and laboratory aspects. Visits to the property were carried out and a necroscopic examination was performed on the bovine cadavers (N=57), which presented similar macroscopic alterations. Epidemiological data were collected, mainly referring to the feeding management of animals, and tissue samples were submitted to histopathological examination. Samples of feces and intestinal contents were also collected for bacterial isolation and PCR genotyping to detect the etiological agent, being confirmed Clostridium perfringens type A strains in 100% of the samples. Furthermore, 33.3% of strains isolated from intestinal contents and 40% of those isolated from feces were positive for beta-2 encoding gene. Considering the history, macroscopic and microscopic findings, as well as bacterial isolation and PCR, the diagnosis of bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis was determined.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT: We reviewed the records of 5,083 cattle necropsies performed from January 1995 to December 2018 and filed at the Laboratory of Anatomic Pathology (LAP) of the “Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul” (UFMS). These necropsies were performed either by LAP-UFMS faculty (22.33%) or by field veterinary practitioners (77.67%) who subsequently submitted material for histological evaluation at the LAP-UFMS. Conclusive diagnoses were reached in 46.21% of the protocols (2,349 cases), and approximately 65% of the cases were classified as inflammatory or parasitic diseases, with rabies being the most diagnosed disease (20.82% of total conclusive diagnosis). There were a large number of protocols in which the diagnosis was of nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis of unknown cause (NSMUC). Those were the main differentials for rabies and bovine herpesvirus-5 necrotizing meningoencephalitis (NME); that is, the number of rabies cases may be even higher if one considers that many cases of NSMUC might be undiagnosed rabies cases. Toxic and toxic-infectious diseases were the second most prevalent category, and botulism cases represented 41% of this category. The other categories corresponded to less than 20% of the total diagnoses and were distributed in decreasing order of frequency as degenerative diseases (9.79%), diseases caused by physical agents (3.87%), other diseases (2.13%), neoplasms and tumor-like lesions (1.79%), metabolic or nutritional disorders (1.75%) and congenital malformations (0.64%). The large number of inconclusive diagnoses was mainly due to improper conditions of mailed-in material for histopathological evaluation, namely, nonrepresentative samples of all organs, autolysis, and the absence of epidemiological and clinical-pathological information.
A taste of pathology

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT: Adult learning, or andragogy, provides a novel way of appreciating using food analogies as an effective learning tool in veterinary pathology. Facilitation of adult learning requires that new concepts be presented in a way that draws on the learner’s experience. Because veterinary students will have had considerable experience with a plethora of food items prior to enrolling in a pathology course, food analogies can provide an easy conduit for incorporating key learning concepts regarding veterinary pathology. In this paper, many of these analogies are presented, along with the mechanisms responsible for each of the characteristic lesions, in the hopes that their usefulness in the classroom can be highlighted to create a more engaging and facilitated learning environment.

Authors: CAPPELLARI GABRIELA , WELTER CLARICE V. N. , HERMES LISIANE C. R. , SAUSEN JORGE O.
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT Purpose: The objective of this study is to understand how the process of absorptive capacity (ACAP) is developed, by analyzing the behaviors and abilities of a group of companies, their routines and processes and the mechanisms of learning and knowledge governance. The companies operate in the metal mechanics sector and they are based in the southern region of Brazil. Originality/value: The relevance consists of the operationalization of component elements and in the development of organizational mechanisms of dynamic capacity (Meirelles & Camargo, 2014), as means of ACAP development (Wang & Ahmed, 2007) in organizations belonging to the metal mechanics sector. Design/methodology/approach: It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive empirical research, carried out by a multiple case study. It seeks to investigate in detail three organizations of the metal mechanics sector, by analyzing the procedures, resources, mechanisms, and systems, which makes it possible for them to develop absorptive capacities. Content analysis was performed in order to analyze the data. Findings: The researched companies develop absorptive capacity through some behaviors and abilities, such as relationship capacity, learning capacity, and people’s training capacity, and through routines and processes, especially information search routines, market monitoring routines and risk management. Finally, the researched companies develop absorptive capacity by learning mechanisms and knowledge governance, such as researches, information exchange among clients, suppliers and other companies.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aims to verify the moderating role of managers’ characteristics, age, and tenure (time in the sector, position, company), in the relation between the realized absorptive capacity (RACAP) and the architectural marketing capabilities (CAM). Originality/value: The present study considers the human element as a factor that affects the relations between the capacities of the company. It contributes theoretically to help understand what can impact the formulation and implementation of marketing strategies and theoretically strengthen the role of the human element. As a practical contribution, it has been shown that it is not enough to seek external knowledge, it is necessary that it is transformed and then used effectively in the design and implementation of marketing strategies. Design/method/approach: Quantitative research, with transverse temporal data collection. This study empirically tested the hypotheses based on a sample of 343 marketing managers from Brazilian manufacturing industries. Data were collected through a survey. Data were processed by means of modeling of structural equations in AMOS software. Findings: The characteristics of managers (age and tenure) moderate the relationship between a part of RACAP (knowledge transformation) and CAM (architectural marketing capability). More experienced managers should be valued because it has been proven that in this sector, they make a difference when it comes to transforming knowledge and using it in their strategies.

Published: November 2019

Resumo O tensor de momento-energia é a entidade matemática que representa de forma unificada as fontes de momento e energia no formalismo covariante, tanto em espaços planos, como em espaços curvos. Em espaços curvos o tensor de momento-energia fica conectado a curvatura do espaço-tempo via equação de campo de Einstein. O tensor de momento-energia caracteriza os campos de matéria do sistema. Por sua vez as condições de energia estabelecidas por Hawking e Ellis classificam os diversos tipos de fluidos quanto a atratividade/repulsividade, a causalidade, interação com o vacuo e a positividade. Tambem abordamos a conservação do tensor de momento-energia via equação Tolemam-Openhaimer-Volkov(TOV), que é um importante formalismo para o estudo de estruturas e modelos estelares. Vamos estudar o tensor momento-energia nas suas versões isotrópicas e anisotrópicas, bem como a sua conservação e relação com a constante cosmológica.

Resumo Nessa pesquisa, estudam-se as questões presentes no Exame Nacional de Avaliação do Desempenho do Estudante (ENADE), no contexto específico da licenciatura em Física, que contemplem tópicos da Mecânica Quântica (MQ), à luz dos fundamentos da Taxonomia de Bloom Revisada (TBR). A TBR nos permite classificar o aprendizado requerido em uma questão na dimensão do conhecimento (efetivo/factual, conceitual, procedimental/procedural e metacognitivo) e dos processos cognitivos (lembrar, entender, aplicar, analisar, avaliar e criar) mobilizados em sua resolução, materializados em uma tabela bidimensional. Os resultados apontaram uma prevalência de questões classificadas nos níveis mais baixos do domínio cognitivo da TBR (lembrar e entender) e uma quase ausência de questões nos níveis mais elevados. Em termos de conteúdos, foram contemplados predominantemente tópicos concernentes à velha MQ, em detrimento da MQ propriamente dita, e que as questões selecionadas e analisadas do ENADE revelam que os discentes não têm avançado na compreensão dos conceitos quânticos. Tais resultados corroboram a necessidade de estudos e propostas que oportunizem futuras adequações no ensino da MQ nos cursos de formação de professores de Física, tendo em conta o que se espera do perfil do futuro professor.

Fire normativities: environmental conservation and quilombola forms of life in the Brazilian savanna
Authors: Fagundes Guilherme Moura
Published: November 2019

Abstract The article seeks to shift away from the centrality attributed to the idea of ‘control’ in the debate on participatory fire management. To do so, it addresses three modes of existence of the phenomenon in the Brazilian savannah - queimada (burned place), fogos gerais (fire that spreads or general fires) and fogo fora do tempo (fire out of time) - aiming to explore the perceptual disparities between wanted and unwanted fires with quilombolas and environmental managers in the Jalapão region (Tocantins, Brazil). This problem is discussed in light of the concept of normativity formulated by the epistemologist George Canguilhem in dialogue with the anthropology of techniques. The goal is to contribute to a research agenda in which the distinction between ‘good fire’ and ‘bad fire’ is thematized in specific ethnographic contexts rather than from pre-given normative criteria. I conclude by arguing that the current fire management policies concern not only the legal protocol of fire authorization, but also the modulation of technical and vital processes.
Thinking About (and with) Maps: A Reflection on Artistic-Activist Interventions in Contemporary Metropolises
Authors: Aderaldo Guilhermo
Published: November 2019

Abstract Hegemonic maps that are guided by political, cultural, and economic interests, name and create visibility schemes that establish representations of goods and natural resources while simultaneously fixing and making invisible the social and spatial dynamics that characterize mapped regions and populations as unique. Many associations and artistic-activist collectives are concerned about this situation and its effects and have started to use open source software in order make visible a set of political issues that are hidden by “official” maps, geared towards control. With regard to this symbolic confrontation, the present article's main objective is to systematically reflect upon political and associative arrangements related to the contemporary dissemination of technological resources aimed at cartographic practices.

ABSTRACT Overexploitation is one of the main causes of biodiversity loss and local extinction. In the Brazilian Amazon, the intensive use of high-value timber species is leading to a decline in their populations. When in decline, these species can be replaced by less valuable and more common ones that are more feasible to exploit. We conducted interviews with residents of two communities in a sustainable development reserve in central Amazonia, and used free lists and the cognitive salience index (S) to assess the perceptions of residents regarding the occurrence and purpose of timber exploitation, and to identify possible endangered species in white-sand and terra-firme forests. In addition, to infer possible consequences of logging, we assessed the current population status of timber species cited by residents in forest-plot inventories carried out within the reserve. S-index values and interviewee reports suggested an intensive use of terra-firme timber species and an apparently recent increase in the exploitation of white-sand species, which did not use to be exploited because of their relatively low commercial value. The inventories showed that the white-sand timber species have high relative densities and low S values in contrast to the terra-firme species, which mostly have low relative densities and high S values. Our results highlight the need to identify and monitor relevant timber species in both terra-firme and white-sand forests, and to increase the involvement of the local community in the development of logging management practices.

ABSTRACT Malaria is a disease of global tropical distribution, being endemic in more than 90 countries and responsible for about 212 million cases worldwide in 2016. To date, the strategies used to eradicate this disease have been ineffective, without specific preventive measures such as vaccines. Currently, the existing therapeutic arsenal is limited and has become ineffective against the expansion of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium, demonstrating the need for studies that would allow the development of new compounds against this disease. In this context, we studied the volatile oil obtained from rhizomes of Cyperus articulatus (VOCA), a plant species commonly found in the Amazon region and popularly used as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of malaria, in order to confirm its potential as an antimalarial agent by in vitro and in vivo assays. We cultured Plasmodium falciparum W2 (chloroquine-resistant) and 3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) strains in erythrocytes and exposed them to VOCA at different concentrations in 96-well microplates. In vivo antimalarial activity was tested in BALB/c mice inoculated with approximately 106 erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium berghei. VOCA showed a high antimalarial potential against the two P. falciparum strains, with IC50 = 1.21 μg mL-1 for W2 and 2.30 μg mL-1 for 3D7. VOCA also significantly reduced the parasitemia and anemia induced by P. berghei in mice. Our results confirmed the antimalarial potential of the volatile oil of Cyperus articulatus.

ABSTRACT The search for alternatives to increase productivity and sustainability of livestock production in the Amazon region without increasing deforestation is challenging. Mixed pastures of grasses with forage peanut (Arachis pintoi) have shown positive economic impacts. However, gaps in the knowledge of the reproductive biology of A. pintoi have limited the development of new cultivars adapted to the environmental variations in the Brazilian Amazon. Pasture consortiums of Brachiaria humidicola with forage peanuts (cv. Mandobi) resulted in a 42% increase in weight gain productivity. New cultivars better adapted to the Amazon climate should bring even greater gains. We evaluated the mating system in twenty A. pintoi accessions, and approximately 40 offspring per accession genotyped with eight microsatellites (or markers). The parameters of genetic diversity and inbreeding, the outcrossing rate and coancestry were calculated. The observed heterozygosity was significantly higher and the fixation index was significantly lower in adults compared with the offspring. The crossing rate was variable among genotypes (2 to 80%), and the mean outcrossing rate was 36%. These results indicate that pollinator presence in pastures can influence gene flow in A. pintoi more than expected. Arachis pintoi presented a mixed mating system with a predominance of selfing, and families presented inbreeding and different levels of relatedness. New strategies of genotype conservation are needed to avoid pollinator-mediated crossing between accessions.
Parasites in farmed Piaractus brachypomus (Serrasalmidae) in the state of Acre, western Brazilian Amazonia
Authors: NEGREIROS Luciano Pereira , TAVARES-DIAS Marcos
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT This study investigated the parasite fauna in Piaractus brachypomus grown in fish farms in the state of Acre, in the western Brazilian Amazon. We examined 160 fish from four farms. Overall parasite prevalence was 66.9%. The fish were parasitized by Anacanthorus spathulatus, Mymarothecium viatorum, Anacanthorus penilabiatus, Clinostomum marginatum, Echinorhynchus jucundus and Henneguya sp., but monogenean species were the dominant parasites. Monogeneans showed an aggregated distribution pattern and there was a weak correlation between host size and abundance of M. viatorum and A. penilabiatus. No difference in the condition factor of parasitized and non-parasitized fish was detected. The fish of all farms had the gills parasitized by A. spathulatus and M. viatorum, but A. penilabiatus was found only in fish from two farms. Echinorhynchus jucundus, C. marginatum and Henneguya sp. were found in only one farm. The differences in parasitism level among the farms are attributable to differences in management and quality of cultivation environments.

Resumo O estudo baseou-se na teoria das representações sociais para analisar o conteúdo das representações sociais que três gerações diferentes de mulheres têm sobre assuntos relacionados com envelhecimento e rejuvenescimento. Setenta e duas mulheres participaram da pesquisa, sendo 34 universitárias de 25 a 35 anos, 18 de 40 a 50 anos e 20 acima de 60 anos. Utilizou-se como método de coleta e análise de dados a técnica de associação livre de palavras. Os termos indutores foram envelhecimento e rejuvenescimento. A análise dos vocábulos evocados seguiu os critérios de freqüência e de ordem de evocação. Foram calculadas as médias de ambos os critérios para compor os quadrantes que formariam os conteúdos das hipóteses de núcleos centrais e periféricos de representação social. Os principais resultados mostraram que ao redor do envelhecimento ainda existem idéias antigas cristalizadas em imagens, como sabedoria e experiência. Já em relação ao rejuvenescimento, as mulheres participantes expressaram uma atitude favorável à prevenção do envelhecimento direcionada à melhora de condições de saúde, em detrimento dos cuidados estéticos, o que mostra que nos conteúdos centrais está presente uma dimensão funcional da representação social em termos de uma prática de cuidados preventivos. Conclui-se que, independentemente da faixa etária das participantes, elas construíram uma representação social do rejuvenescimento voltada para cuidados em saúde muito mais do que com a beleza estética.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o estado nutricional e o consumo alimentar, e caracterizar aspectos do estilo de vida de idosos hipertensos que freqüentam centros de convivência na cidade de Teresina-PI. O estudo, do tipo transversal, envolveu 125 idosos, de ambos os sexos (17 homens e 108 mulheres), avaliados por meio de questionário previamente testado para a caracterização da casuística. As variáveis nutricionais foram investigadas por antropometria, medidas de circunferência e pelo levantamento do consumo alimentar nas últimas 24 horas. Encontraram-se índices elevados de sobrepeso (45,6%) e baixo-peso (36,0%), a pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) associando-se positivamente com o sobrepeso (índice de massa corporal 27kg/m2). A distribuição da gordura central apresentou elevada prevalência (88%), indicando risco para doenças cardiovasculares. Os alimentos mais consumidos foram: feijão, leite, pães, cereais, arroz, massas e carnes. Não se observou grande adesão às medidas terapêuticas não-farmacológicas no grupo de idosos hipertensos, o que mostra a necessidade de rever as orientações propostas no Programa de Controle da Pressão Arterial para o Idoso.

Resumo Tendo em vista a indicação de modalidades multidisciplinares como forma eficaz de atendimento e o aumento da utilização da acupuntura nos serviços de saúde no Brasil, o presente estudo teve como objetivo contribuir para o conhecimento da acupuntura e ampliação do seu uso na rede pública. Utilizou-se o método de revisão de literatura, realizando-se uma coleta de dados nos prontuários dos pacientes atendidos pelos acupunturistas de formação multidisciplinar do Instituto Municipal de Medicina Física Oscar Clark, no Rio de Janeiro, a fim de que a prática profissional pudesse contribuir para o melhor desenvolvimento do mesmo. Resultados a idade se concentrou entre 60 e 80 anos (61%); a maior freqüência entre as doenças ou queixas encaminhadas coube às algias (39%); quanto à melhora com o tratamento ministrado, o maior índice indicou melhora de 26 a 50%. Conclusão a acupuntura oferece um bom resultado, inclusive no caso de doenças crônicas e nos idosos. Aconselha-se manter a base filosófica científica dos orientais, exercendo-se a acupuntura de forma multidisciplinar e livre de disputas por monopólio como garantia de sua qualidade. Recomenda-se, ainda, sua ampliação nos demais serviços públicos e nas ações públicas multidisciplinares como opção eficaz, natural e de baixo custo.
Envelhecimento, amor e sexualidade: utopia ou realidade?
Authors: Almeida Thiago de , Lourenço Maria Luiza
Published: November 2019

Resumo O envelhecimento mundial é um fenômeno que tem sido muito discutido na última década, sobretudo por seu significativo crescimento. Muitos pesquisadores de diferentes áreas têm mostrado interesse em estudar essa fase da vida. Infelizmente, os idosos são vistos com preconceito, porque ainda hoje a idéia de envelhecer é vista como sinônimo de doença e incapacidade. Outro tema bastante comum para o nosso cotidiano é discorrer a respeito do conceito de amor. Versar sobre essas duas temáticas é um árduo trabalho, em razão de algumas dificuldades metodológicas e impropriedades conceituais que lhes são inerentes. Contudo, é possível atingir a velhice de forma saudável, expressando o amor e a sexualidade, elementos por vezes negligenciados pelos próprios idosos. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma análise criteriosa de algumas publicações que estudam o envelhecimento, o amor e a sexualidade, para oferecer ao leitor um panorama desses temas tão importantes, que, por vezes, representam lacunas teóricas e vivenciais em si mesmos.
A construção da violência contra idosos

Published: November 2019

Resumo Este artigo é uma revisão da literatura de 1985 a 2005, e tem como objetivo construir o cenário da violência familiar contra o idoso, ou seja, como ocorre, suas causas, conseqüências e principalmente as formas de enfrentamento do problema. O estudo revelou que a violência contra o idoso é alarmante e ocorre na grande maioria das vezes no âmbito familiar. Essa violência é um fenômeno complexo multifacetado e dinâmico de difícil controle, até mesmo em países com alto nível de qualidade de vida. Concluiu-se que existe ainda um grande atraso na sociedade em relação à garantia de segurança para os idosos, uma vez que as políticas que atualmente protegem essa parcela da população estão ainda muito aquém das práticas adotadas nos serviços púbicos e privados de atendimento aos idosos.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe patients' perceptions of communication technologies used in a nutrition service and to learn how they may contribute to the safety of postoperative bariatric surgery patients. Method: a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach was carried out with 12 postoperative bariatric surgery patients admitted into a teaching hospital in southern Brazil from March to July 2016, by means of a focus group (five meetings). Data analysis included text transcription and data were grouped by similarity and once more nominated as great units. Result: the following categories emerged from the analysis process: communication with nutritionists and patient safety; changes in eating habits and challenges; and weight loss and maintenance. The data showed that group appointments strengthen the relationship with nutritionists. Using several communication technologies promotes a sense of safety, because it facilitates access. Care guidelines reduce concerns associated with nutritional deficiencies and weight regain. Conclusion: the strengthening of the relationship with nutritionists associated with a wide range of communication technologies provide patient safety toward losing follow-up and having problems regarding nutritional deficiencies and weight regain.
