Improving the Southern Ocean cloud albedo biases in a general circulation model
Authors: Varma Vidya , Morgenstern Olaf , Field Paul , Furtado Kalli , Williams Jonny , Hyder Patrick
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The present generation of global climate models is characterised by insufficient reflection of short-wave radiation over the Southern Ocean due to a misrepresentation of clouds. This is a significant concern as it leads to excessive heating of the ocean surface, sea surface temperature biases and subsequent problems with atmospheric dynamics. In this study, we modify cloud microphysics in a recent version of the Met Office's Unified Model and show that choosing a more realistic value for the shape parameter of atmospheric ice crystals, in better agreement with theory and observations, benefits the simulation of short-wave radiation. In the model, for calculating the growth rate of ice crystals through deposition, the default assumption is that all ice particles are spherical in shape. We modify this assumption to effectively allow for oblique shapes or aggregates of ice crystals. Along with modified ice nucleation temperatures, we achieve a reduction in the annual-mean short-wave cloud radiative effect over the Southern Ocean by up to ∼4 W m−2 and seasonally much larger reductions compared to the control model. By slowing the growth of the ice phase, the model simulates substantially more supercooled liquid cloud.

Published: July 2020

Abstract. Identification of atmospheric molecular clusters and measurement of their concentrations by atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight (APi-TOF) mass spectrometers may be affected by
systematic error due to possible decomposition of clusters inside the instrument. Here, we perform numerical simulations of decomposition in an APi-TOF mass spectrometers and formation in the atmosphere of a set of clusters which involve a representative kind of highly oxygenated organic molecule (HOM), with the molecular formula C10H16O8. This elemental composition corresponds to one of the most common mass peaks observed in experiments on ozone-initiated autoxidation of α-pinene. Our results show that decomposition is highly unlikely for the considered clusters, provided their bonding energy is large enough to allow formation in the atmosphere in the first place.
A mosaic of phytoplankton responses across Patagonia, the SE Pacific and SW Atlantic Ocean to ash deposition and trace metal release from the Calbuco 2015 volcanic eruption

Published: July 2020

Abstract. Following the April 2015 eruption of the Calbuco volcano, an extensive ash plume spread across northern Patagonia and into the SE Pacific and SW Atlantic Ocean. Here we report the results of field surveys conducted in the marine region receiving the highest ash load following the eruption (Reloncaví Fjord). The fortuitous location of a long-term monitoring station in Reloncaví Fjord provided data to evaluate inshore phytoplankton bloom dynamics and carbonate chemistry during April–May 2015. Satellite derived chlorophyll-a measurements over the ocean regions affected by the ash plume in May 2015 were obtained to determine the spatial-temporal gradient in offshore phytoplankton response to ash. Additionally, leaching experiments were performed to quantify the release of total alkalinity, trace elements (Fe, Mn, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni and Cd) and major ions (Fl, Cl, SO4, NO3, Li, Na, NH4, K, Mg, Ca) from ash into solution. Within Reloncaví Fjord, integrated peak diatom abundances during the May 2015 austral bloom were higher than usual (up to 1.4 × 1011 cells m−2, integrated to 15 m depth), with the bloom intensity perhaps moderated due to high ash loadings in the two weeks following the eruption. In the offshore SE Pacific, a short duration phytoplankton bloom corresponded closely in space and time to the maximum observed ash plume, potentially in response to Fe-fertilization of a region where phytoplankton growth is typically Fe-limited at this time of year. Conversely, no clear fertilization was found in the area subject to an ash plume over the SW Atlantic where the availability of fixed nitrogen is thought to limit phytoplankton growth which was consistent with no significant release of fixed nitrogen from ash. In addition to release of nanomolar concentrations of dissolved Fe from ash suspended in seawater, it was observed that low loadings (
Removal of Sulphates from Acid Mine Drainage Using Tetradecytrimethylammonium Bromide Modified Desilicated Fly Ash
Authors: Falayi Thabo
Published: July 2020

Tetradecytrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA) was used to modify the surface properties of desilicated fly ash (DFA). The objective was to improve the removal of sulphates from acid mine drainage using the TDTMA modified DFA (TDTMA-DFA). A 20% addition of TDTMA to DFA produced the optimum
sulphate adsorbent. A 4% (m/v) solid loading of TDTMA-DFA was capable of removing over 98% of sulphates from AMD after agitation at 250 rpm and 45°C for 180 mins although equilibrium was reached after 80 mins. The mechanism of removal was chemisorption and the sulphate loaded TDTMA-DFA
was stable against further leaching. The research gives an opportunity for the modification of a solid waste material (DFA) into a useful adsorbent thereby allowing a waste material to treat another waste which then supports a circular economy in a waste management system.
A Theoretical Mechanism in the Degradation of Polyolefin Plastic Waste Using Phytochemical Oxidation Process
Authors: Reddy G. Koteswara , Kiran Yarrakula
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical mechanism during the degradation of polyolefin plastic waste using phytochemicals. Existing degradation (physical, chemical and biological) methods are ineffective, expensive and notably time consuming during the degradation of polyolefin
plastics. During the phytochemical degradation process, initially, polyolefin plastic is oxidized and converted into the hydrophilic nature by photo-oxidation. Thereafter, phyto phenols can be used to cleave the main chains of polyolefin plastics, thereby, small molecular hydrocarbons are
formed such as oligomers, monomers and dimers. During this process, primary products like all the reactive hydroperoxides and free radicals might be produced and lead to further chain cleavage via peroxide cross linkage. Besides, the consequences of plastic chain cleavage make the product
apparently more susceptible to biodegradation. The phytochemical based degradation mechanism is useful for the researchers in the direction towards plastic hazards reduction and management on the earth's environment.
Physical Analysis of Solidifying Mechanism for Mixed Solidification Material with Silica Admixture and Blast Furnace Slag
Authors: Inazumi Shinya , Intui Sutasinee , Shinsaka Takashi , Hashimoto Ryo
Published: July 2020

In past studies, a powdery silica-based admixture was developed. It was obtained by applying the heat treatment to inorganic waste, such as waste glass and fly ash containing a large amount of silica. The silica-based admixture has also been recognized as an effective solidifying material
when it is mixed with blast furnace slag. The colloidal silica and calcium silicate hydrates (CSHs) produced in the process exhibit not only a higher mechanical strength than cement-based solidification material, but also excellent properties such as the expectation of a delayed effect of
the solidification time. Therefore, it is considered to be applicable to ground improvement works. In this study, in order to investigate the usefulness of a silica admixture and blast furnace slag solidifying material and the solidifying mechanism by means of a solidification material, an
energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS analysis), a scanning electron microscope observation (SEM observation) and an X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD analysis) were implemented to examine soils improved by the solidification material.
The Effects of International Financial Reporting Standards on Reporting Quality of Financial Institutions in Ghana
Authors: Amissah Edmond , Hammond Paul , Djimatey Reginald
Published: July 2020

This study sought to examine the reporting quality of financial institutions in Ghana after adopting International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) as its official national reporting standard. Using a fixed effect logistic regression, the study compares the earnings management of banks and insurance firms before and after IFRS adoption on reporting quality. The data used was drawn from 51 financial institutions made up of 23 universal banks and 28 insurance companies observed over the period 2003 to 2014. The empirical results indicate that financial institutions exhibit more earnings management during the post-adoption era which is interpreted as a decline in the quality of financial reporting among financial institutions in Ghana. The results documented in this study add to the dearth of literature and contributes to the debate on IFRS adoption and its related impact on reporting quality (earnings management) among financial institutions from the perspective of an emerging market. The study is unique in the sense that it includes the insurance industry where the literature is largely silent especially, on the impact of IFRS adoption by countries on the African continent. Furthermore, unlike previous studies, this paper considers both listed and non-listed firms.
Tilgang til fellesskap i den flerkulturelle barnehagen
Authors: Giæver Katrine
Published: July 2020

Det ligger i norske barnehagers mandat at personalet skal inkludere alle barn gjennom å verdsette forskjeller i barnegruppen, samtidig som de skal utvikle noe felles (Kunnskapsdepartementet 2017: 9). Studier fra flerkulturelle barnehager viser imidlertid at barns språklige og kulturelle bakgrunn kan ha betydning for om de gis like muligheter til å medvirke og delta i fellesskapet. I denne artikkelen diskuterer jeg hvordan ulike former for norsk tilhørighet kan ha betydning for inkludering og ekskludering i barnehagen. I lys av Bakhtins teorier om kommunikasjonssfærer og talesjangere, analyserer jeg dialoger i en flerkulturell barnehage. På bakgrunn av analysene stiller jeg spørsmål om hvorvidt barnehagen, til tross for intensjoner om likeverdig deltakelse, er preget av innforståtte og subtile kommunikasjonsformer som kan virke ekskluderende på barn som har erfaringer som ikke er sammenfallende med majoriteten.

Published: July 2020

This paper aimed to know the degree of academic satisfaction of the students of the Federal University of Rondônia, Campus of Ji-Paraná, with the institution, the course and the opportunity of development. Such a finding is of paramount importance to assist managers in making decisions, as it reveals in which areas they are serving in a more precarious way, as well as which ones have been observed as quality by students, which can increase or decrease the rate of participation of the students, for example, or, to produce more or less qualified professionals, according to the quality applied in the course. The development of the research had an exploratory character, of a quantitative nature, with a strategy of data collection through a questionnaire, based on the Scale of Satisfaction and Academic Experience (SSAE), and to measure the intensity of satisfaction, a five points Likert-type scale was used. As a unit of analysis, the Ji-Paraná Campus of the Federal University of Rondônia was defined. The research subjects were 65 students graduating from Environmental Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Mathematics and Pedagogy courses. The sample consisted of 66,2% women and 38,2% men and their average age was 27 years. As a result, it was found that students are satisfied in the three dimensions surveyed, with the greatest satisfaction recorded being with the course that obtained 3,86 points, followed by satisfaction with the institution that reached 3,47 points and satisfaction with the development opportunity with 3,45 points. Knowing satisfaction with the quality of services provided to students of the higher education can contribute to increase the demand for students at Federal Institution for Superior Education, as well as increase the permanence rate, and also the quality of the services delivered to society regarding to the formation of professionals.
Anterior Vertebral Body Growth-Modulation Tethering in Idiopathic Scoliosis: Surgical Technique
Authors: Parent Stefan , Shen Jesse
Published: July 2020

The management of idiopathic scoliosis in the skeletally immature patient can be challenging. Posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation is indicated for severe scoliosis deformities. However, the skeletally immature patient undergoing posterior fusion and instrumentation is at risk for developing crankshaft deformities. Moreover, bracing treatment remains an option for patients who are skeletally immature, and although it was found to be effective, it does not completely preclude deformity progression. Recently, fusionless treatment options, such as anterior vertebral body growth modulation, have been developed to treat these patients while avoiding the complications of posterior rigid fusion. Good results have been shown in recent literature with proper indications and planning in the skeletally immature patient.
Pricing and Competition with 100% Variable Renewable Energy and Storage
Authors: Ekholm Tommi , Virasjoki Vilma
Published: July 2020

Electricity production is a key sector in global decarbonization efforts, and variable renewable energy (VRE) technologies are a primary way to produce carbon-free electricity. We study an electricity market where generation is 100 %VRE, while storage and elastic demand resolve temporal supply-demand imbalances. We model hourly market equilibrium to analyze price formation and imperfect, Cournot-type competition with varying levels of ownership concentration.Market power is exerted either with storage-only or with both VRE and storage.In such a system, prices are determined dynamically by demand and intertemporal storage decisions, breaking the static logic of “merit order” with dispatch-able generation. The numerical results indicate that market power with storage has a relatively moderate effect on prices and market efficiency. However, market power exerted with VRE has far larger welfare impacts, resulting from curtailed generation. However, such actions could be more readily observed by a regulator via monitoring.
Estimation of the scale of inactive unemployment in Poland
Authors: Wilak Kamil
Published: July 2020

The aim of the study described in the paper is to estimate the level of inactive unemployment in Poland. This required the estimation of the number of inactive unemployed and their percentage in the total number of persons registered as unemployed. The estimation was based on unit-level data from the Polish Labour Force Survey (2010–2018). A calibration approach was applied that involved auxiliary variables relating to registered unemployment. The results indicate that a significant proportion of persons registered as unemployed are economically inactive. The percentage of inactive unemployed ranged from 29.8 to 53.3 percent over the studied period, with an upward trend observed since 2014. It was also demonstrated that the level of inactive unemployment varies among groups defined by basic demographic indicators, i.e. sex, age and education. The most pronounced differences can be observed between groups determined by sex – women registered as unemployed are economically inactive much more often than men.

Biochar Effect on Nutrients Availability to Barley
Authors: Mukhina Irina , Rizhiya Elena , Bankina Tatiana
Published: July 2020

Biochar can serve as a soil ameliorant preventing nutrient leaching. Due to its porous structure and chemical composition, it can also adsorb elements on its surface. However, various biochars have different sorption ability, and the mechanistic understanding of nutrient storage in biochar is missing. It is not clear if nutrients adsorbed by biochar will be available for plants. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate biochar efficacy in pure substrates to characterise its specific influence on plants. In this study, the sorption capacity and ability of the wood-based biochar to provide barley plants with nutrients was investigated. The sorption capacity of biochar was investigated by saturating it with Gelrigel nutrient solution. Then nutrient-enriched biochar was tested for its effect on barley growth in comparison with non-enriched biochar. The results of the sorption experiment showed that the wood-based biochar could adsorb high amounts of nutrients such as ammonium (NH4+), potassium, calcium and phosphate (PO43-), but not nitrate (NO3-). Nutrient-enriched biochar showed an ability to support 46% higher dry biomass of barley than non-enriched biochar. These results suggest a potential of nutrient-enriched biochar for recovering essential nutrients for plants.
Bracing for the Multi-Generational Workforce: What We Need to Know
Authors: Teng Lee Su
Published: July 2020

Workforce demographics have changed, and business leaders have started to question how to handle employees from different generations. With the noticeable generational divide, the issue of generational conflict is gaining prominence. Generational disagreement among employees is not new as each generation is shaped by different historical, socio-economic, and political events where each generation brings with them their unique perspective. Leaders in most organizations are aware of it, albeit few are willing to address such conflicts. Even if they do, uncertainties arise. These differences, or their unique generational characteristics, are due to the exposure to historical events during their early years. As most literature stems from the West and the historical events that happened are different, their characteristics may differ in terms of geography. An in-depth and practical understanding of generational dynamics could enhance the effectiveness of management in handling today’s multi-generational workforce. Hence, this research aims to provide insights into the characteristics of Malaysian Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y who are working locally and comparing them with the West.
Detection of Nutrient-Related SNP to Reveal Individual Malnutrition Risk
Authors: Huo Junsheng , Zhang Chunhong
Published: July 2020

Malnutrition is a result of complicated reasons from diet and food behavior and also related to genetic background which has been revealed by studies in recent decades. Traditionally, nutrition status are measured and expressed with indexes of anthropometric, diet survey, clinical symptom, biochemistry, behavior, etc. These measurement has been used in national nutrition monitoring, clinic nutrition therapy, mother and children nutrition care, nutrition intervention projects, and scientific studies. However, genetic and epigenetic information on nutrition explain malnutrition in a genetic view that would supply additional new theory and methodology for the growing requirement in terms of personalized and precise nutrition. In this chapter, an introduction on the detection of nutrient-related SNP to reveal individual malnutrition risk is discussed.
Echocardiographic Assessment of Myocardial Deformation during Exercise
Authors: J. Stöhr Eric , Samuel T. Jake
Published: July 2020

The human heart is an asymmetrical structure that consists of oblique, circumferential, and transmural fibers, as well as laminae and sheets. Sequential electrical activation of all the muscle fibers ultimately results in a coordinated contraction of the heart muscle also referred to as “deformation.” This is immediately followed by myocardial relaxation, when the preceding deformation is reversed, and the ventricles fill with blood. Given the complexity of these repetitive motions, it is not surprising that there is great diversity in the myocardial deformation between different individuals and between distinct populations. Exercise presents a natural challenge to determine the full capacity of an individual’s heart, and modern imaging technologies allow for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial deformation during exercise. In this chapter, the most relevant anatomical basis for myocardial deformation is summarized and definitions of the most relevant parameters are provided. Then, the general cardiac responses to exercise are highlighted before the current knowledge on myocardial deformation during exercise is discussed. The literature clearly indicates that the echocardiographic evaluation of myocardial deformation during exercise holds great promise for the identification of sub-clinical disease. Future studies should aim to determine the mechanisms of differential expression of myocardial deformation during exercise in health and disease.
Strategies for Survival: Human Rights Organizations’ Responses to the Closing of Political Opportunity Structures in Hungary
Authors: Gerő Márton , Susánszky Pál , Kopper Ákos , Tóth Gergely
Published: July 2020

In the last decade, there has been a tendency for governments to impose tighter restrictions on civil society organizations, especially those promoting democracy and human rights. In this study, we examine how human rights organizations are responding to the increasingly hostile political environment in Hungary. The expanding limits on civil society organizations is usually discussed within a framework labelled as the closing space for civil society, which emphasizes the legislation and governmental actions directly attacking civil society organizations. Despite the impression that the restrictions threaten the existence of these organizations, a closer examination reveals that well-established organizations are capable of developing coping strategies to survive. To fully understand how these strategies are developed, we need to supplement this framework with the theory of political opportunity structures. This broader theoretical perspective examines the openness of decision-making processes for non-ruling actors and includes the role of perceptions in the examination of reactions to changes in the opportunity structure. As our study shows, perceptions about the social environment have a crucial role in understanding the strategies of human rights organizations. Examining the reactions of ten organizations, primarily using the method of organizational interviews, we show that rather than direct restrictions attacking civil society organizations, the major factor shaping their strategies is the closing of political opportunities. As a consequence of an almost total closure of decision-making mechanisms, they have been changing their activities from focusing on their roles as experts and working with state institutions to emphasizing social embeddedness, community building and raising awareness.

Med årsskiftet går den lange amerikanske valg- kamp ind i sin første afgørende fase. Ved primærvalg og partimøder vil amerikanerne udpege deres foretrukne præsidentkandidater for såvel det demokratiske som det republikanske parti. I 2008 kan afgørelserne i begge partier meget vel foreligge tidligere, end man har været vant til.

Dilemas (in)visíveis da formação para a docência nas licenciaturas
Authors: Araújo Osmar Hélio Alves , Fortunato Ivan , Castro Francisco Mirtiel Frankson Moura
Published: July 2020

Este artigo trata de examinar alguns dilemas (in)visíveis à formação para a docência em licenciaturas, tais como: baixa adesão de estudantes e egressos à carreira docente; a formação para a docência nos cursos de licenciatura concebida e realizada, muitas vezes, como uma atividade secundária; e, por fim, a formação inicial dos professores nos cursos de licenciatura centrada, amiúde, na ação docente “individual” em detrimento de um contexto de trabalho coletivo. Por meio de um exame dialógico, nosso objetivo é problematizar o caráter dos cursos de licenciatura como espaços para a formação docente. Ao final, conclui-se que a formação para a docência exige uma fase da mobilização dos estudantes para a formação e a profissão docente.
Conhecimento e aprendizagem na educação superior: desafios curriculares e pedagógicos no século XXI
Authors: Pacheco José Augusto , Sousa Joana , BEATRIZ MAIA Ila Beatriz
Published: July 2020

Partindo da questão “Que desafios curriculares e pedagógicos enfrenta a educação superior no século XXI, tendo em consideração a relação indissociável entre conhecimento e aprendizagem?”, neste artigo são abordados os conceitos de conhecimento e aprendizagem, perspetivados pelos desafios curriculares e pedagógicos que o século XXI coloca de um modo tão profundo a partir de dinâmicas de mudança, que encontram nas tecnologias digitais e na inteligência artificial um fator de potenciação para limites inimagináveis. Os dados são descritos e analisados a partir de estudos de caso, com vista a identificar desafios curriculares e pedagógicos, servindo ainda de fundamentação de uma pedagogia como conversação complexa e deliberativa na educação superior. Conclui-se que o principal desafio pedagógico que o conhecimento traz à sociedade de hoje é o repensar das aprendizagens para o século XXI, assim como a mudança na educação superior é ao mesmo tempo formal e informal, em que as tecnologias digitais originam mudanças oceânicas nas atuais formas de aprender e ensinar.
Educação Popular e Formação Docente: experiências de re-existência
Authors: Esteban Maria Teresa , Sampaio Marisa Narciso
Published: July 2020

O artigo discute, a partir de uma pesquisa exploratória, princípios da Educação Popular na Colômbia e no Brasil, presentes em experiências educacionais de formação docente e práticas escolares. Na atual conjuntura brasileira e latino-americana, em que professoras/es têm sido colocadas/os sob suspeita por exercerem a docência visando a formação integral e humana, mostram-se necessárias propostas baseadas na ética, no diálogo, e na participação, princípios da Educação Popular (movimento teoricoprático caracterizado pela ação com as classes populares) ao fortalecimento da formação e da ação docentes. Estes princípios orientam propostas de formação de professoras/es na universidade e suas práticas educativas em distintos contextos. O levantamento e conhecimento de diferentes propostas educativas nos países envolvidos, que desenvolvem práticas orientadas pelo referencial da Educação Popular, proporcionou o diálogo com espaços educativos, organizações e projetos diversos. Houve o contato com universidades, escolas, movimentos sociais e grupos, cujo trabalho tem buscado e criado propostas pedagógicas significativas. Construir uma educação pública e democrática para todas/os depende também de uma formação como prática política, que contribua para potencializar a ação docente em conexão e diálogo permanentes com distintos cenários e situações. Uma formação que seja ato de resistência e defesa da educação como prática de liberdade (FREIRE, 1989). A Educação Popular ressignifica a formação docente e a prática social dos sujeitos em formação – observar, atuar, vivenciar práticas educativas em diferentes contextos (escolares e não escolares) – de modo a problematizar experiências de fracasso e reprodução das desigualdades, ainda recorrentes para as classes populares, para transformá-las.
Para quem os professores planejam suas aulas? Um estudo de caso luso-brasileiro
Authors: Silva João Rodrigo Santos , Guimarães Fernando , Sano Paulo Takeo
Published: July 2020

O planejamento é uma ação pedagógica na qual o professor organiza a sua prática educativa. O planejamento é um processo de racionalização, organização e coordenação da ação docente. Deste modo, plano é uma espécie de teorização, um instrumento de reflexão sobre a sua prática docente. Mas será que os docentes concordam com as definições teóricas do papel da planificação? Assim, é preciso conhecer a concepção dos professores sobre o planejamento no ensino. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar o que os professores consideram ao planejar suas ações; e se, nesta ação, consideram o perfil profissional dos estudantes, professores e/ou biólogos. Esta pesquisa tem um caráter qualitativo e adotou a entrevista como método de coleta de dados e a teoria fundamentada nos dados como método de análise. Foram entrevistados quinze professores de Botânica advindos de quatro universidades, sendo três brasileiras e uma portuguesa. Como resultado desta pesquisa, todos os professores consideram os conteúdos abordados nas aulas como fator principal na organização e no planejamento. Em relação ao perfil dos estudantes, metade dos docentes considera que todos devem saber o conteúdo específico, independentemente de onde irão atuar. Conclui-se que a não preocupação com o professor em formação pode interferir na ação desses sujeitos e em sua correlação entre o conhecimento científico e a práxis pedagógica.
Maria Zelma de Araújo Madeira: memórias de formação e resistências da docente universitária negra
Authors: Fialho Lia Machado Fiuza , Hernández Díaz José María
Published: July 2020

A pesquisa trata da biografia de Maria Zelma de Araújo Madeira, educadora negra que se inspirou na superação do preconceito racial para fomentar uma educação crítica voltada para a cidadania e justiça social na sua docência universitária. Objetivou-se compreender como uma jovem negra e interiorana, de classe econômica baixa, conseguiu concluir a escolarização, em tempos de mais exclusão educacional, para tornar-se professora universitária e militante feminista negra respeitada no estado do Ceará, Brasil. Desenvolveu-se um estudo do tipo biográfico, pautado nos pressupostos teóricos da história cultural, na perspectiva da história do presente, amparado metodologicamente na história oral, previamente aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em 2018. As entrevistas em história oral foram realizadas com Zelma Madeira – gravadas, transcritas, textualizadas e validadas pela biografada, no segundo semestre de 2019. Os resultados mostram que Zelma Madeira era filha de pai trabalhador da construção civil e mãe costureira, nascida em 1967, na cidade de Aroazes, Piauí, Brasil. Ela conseguiu acesso à educação básica e ao ensino superior ao mudar-se com a família para Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil, tendo que desenvolver mecanismos de resistência para não se evadir da escola ante o racismo e a exclusão sofridos. Concluiu a graduação em Serviço Social, mestrado e doutorado em Sociologia, iniciando sua atuação como docente no ensino superior em 1997. Constatou-se que ela conseguiu notoriedade no Ceará por sua atuação como pesquisadora das relações de gênero, raça e etnia, pois desenvolveu identidade consoante o feminismo negro, militando na defesa de um projeto societário mais justo e igualitário.
Pós-graduação: a orientação coletiva como espaço de formação do futuro pesquisador
Authors: Silva Yara Fonseca de Oliveira e , Ferreira João Roberto Resende
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo apresentamos algumas reflexões sobre a experiência da orientação coletiva (OC). A questão central do artigo é traçar considerações sobre em que medida a dinâmica metodológica desenvolvida na orientação coletiva pode contribuir para a compreensão do processo de pesquisa e escrita científica da dissertação de mestrado. Este estudo decorre das determinações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) para a formação de novos pesquisadores em prazos mais curtos, o que tem pressionado a pesquisa a se alinhar cada vez mais com os interesses do mercado, além de evidenciar a intrincada relação entre orientador e orientando no processo de escrita e produção do conhecimento. Esse contexto nos obriga a prestar mais atenção aos processos de orientação, tornando-o coletivo, considerando que este permite que o educando exercite sua capacidade de expor, justificar e deixar mais nítida a sua proposta de pesquisa. A esse processo juntam-se os professores da mesma área e linha de pesquisa do programa. Para a fundamentação teórica, ancoramo-nos em Gramsci (2001), Alvarenga (2011), Bianchetti e Machado (2012) e Severino (2012), dentre outros. Acreditamos que esta discussão tem potencial para contribuir para o debate sobre a formação de pesquisadores, considerando que a luta popular pelo direito a uma educação pública e a uma vida social e coletiva melhor é o elemento-chave para o ponto de partida da produção do conhecimento nos cursos de pós-graduação da área de humanas.

N-myristoylation is a ubiquitous class of protein lipidation across eukaryotes and N-myristoyl transferase (NMT) has been proposed as an attractive drug target in several pathogens. Myristoylation often primes for subsequent palmitoylation and stable membrane attachment, however, growing evidence suggests additional regulatory roles for myristoylation on proteins. Here we describe the myristoylated proteome of Toxoplasma gondii using chemoproteomic methods and show that a small-molecule NMT inhibitor developed against related Plasmodium spp. is also functional in Toxoplasma. We identify myristoylation on a transmembrane protein, the microneme protein 7 (MIC7), which enters the secretory pathway in an unconventional fashion with the myristoylated N-terminus facing the lumen of the micronemes. MIC7 and its myristoylation play a crucial role in the initial steps of invasion, likely during the interaction with and penetration of the host cell. Myristoylation of secreted eukaryotic proteins represents a substantial expansion of the functional repertoire of this co-translational modification.
