The prevalence of osteoarthritic symptoms of the hands amongst female massage therapists
Authors: Kruger Heinmari , Khumalo Valencia , Houreld Nicolette N.
Published: April 2018

Background: Numerous occupations increase one's risk of developing osteoarthritis. Massage therapists rely heavily on their hands and cumulative hand strain injuries that occur whilst performing a massage may lead to the development of osteoarthritic symptoms. Females are at greater risk of developing osteoarthritis. Furthermore age weight, genetic predisposition; working years, working hours as well as body mass index all increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis.Objective: This study sought to investigate the prevalence of osteoarthritic symptoms of the hands amongst female massage therapists, as well as to establish both an average age of symptomatic onset and whether their daily work productivity was influenced.Materials and methods: Since the massage industry is predominantly practiced by females, female massage therapists, irrespective of age and registered with a South African Regulating Body were included. Participants were required to complete a self-administered questionnaire which evaluated age, self-reported symptomatic presence of and family history of osteoarthritis, and body mass index. Participants also completed the AUSCAN™ Hand Osteoarthritis Index LK3.1 (Australian/Canadian Hand Osteoarthritis Index) which assesses pain, disability and joint stiffness of the hands. The sample was divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of self-reported symptoms. All gathered data was analysed by the University of Johannesburg's statistics department (Statkon) by use of IBMSPSS Statistics software version 21.Results: The mean age of symptomatic presentation was 43 years. The AUSCAN™ Index found that more than half of the total sample reported osteoarthritic symptoms in their hands. Participants in the non-symptomatic group also indicated a positive response to symptoms on the AUSCAN™ Index although they did not self-report a symptomatic onset age.Conclusion: In this sample, massage therapists experienced osteoarthritic symptoms that cause pain and stiffness in their hands. It also seemed evident that the symptoms experienced were also responsible for placing strain on their ability to perform daily tasks. This study serves as a basis for further dialogue, research and professional awareness.

Quelques remarques sur une épidémie de grippe équine qui sévit en décembre 1965 à l’annexe de l’Institut Pasteur de Garches
Authors: Reculard Pierre , Cateigne Geneviève , Thibon M. , Labert D. , Girard O.
Published: April 2018

Au début du mois de décembre 1965 une épidémie de grippe équine a éclaté dans les écuries de l’Institut Pasteur de Garches où 22 p. 100 de l’effectif furent atteints. Le taux de mortalité fut de 4 p. 100. Dix souches furent isolées ; l’étude antigénique de ces souches fut effectuée comparativement aux diverses souches équines antérieurement isolées en Europe et en Amérique.

Un vaccin quadrivalent a été préparé, il est en cours d’expérimentation.

Published: April 2018

En résumé, les auteurs ont suivi la ponte, l’infection des œufs et des organes internes chez 6 canes pondeuses, auxquelles il a été préalablement inoculé dans la veine axillaire 30 à 60 millions de Toxoplasmes provenant d’une souche isolée d’un canard.

L’inoculation des Toxoplasmes dans le sang arrêta la ponte des 6 canes. Elles recommencèrent à pondre 30 jours après l’administration du parasite. Les 37 œufs pondus (mélange du blanc et du jaune) ont été administrés par la bouche à la dose de 3 ml, à 37 C. citellus. Après 90 jours d’observation ils ont été sacrifiés et trouvés indemnes. Chez 5 canes sur 6 l’inoculation des Toxoplasmes dans la veine axillaire fut positive et le parasite a pu être isolé par l’intermédiaire de C. citellus même 13 jours après l’intervention.

Cependant, ni par l’examen microscopique direct des frottis de la rate, du foie, du poumon, du cerveau, de l’ovaire et de l’oviducte de ces canes sacrifiées 88 à 95 jours après l’opération, ni par C. citellus infectés avec des émulsions des organes mentionnés ci-dessus et par les œufs le parasite n’a pu être découvert.
Prophylaxie de la septicémie des veaux, par colonisation artificielle avec des microbes
Authors: Mayr A. , Schliesser Th. , Plank P. , Herkner G.
Published: April 2018

L’efficacité d’une colonisation artificielle de microbes non pathogènes dans le naso-pharynx, en tant que prophylaxie anti-infectieuse chez le veau nouveau-né, a été étudiée dans les conditions de la pratique. La colonisation microbienne a été réalisée immédiatement après la naissance, grâce à l’administration intranasale d’un mélange de bactéries, contenant environ 107 microbes vivants appartenant à 3 souches non pathogènes de bactéries des genres Micrococcus, Streptococcus et Corynebacterium. Les résultats suivants ont été notés :

1. — La suspension microbienne est dénuée de toute nocivité et elle est bien tolérée par les veaux nouveau-nés même mis au monde par césarienne.

2. — Dans 38 élevages où sévit la septicémie, 12 (= 7 p. 100) des 171 veaux traités prophylactiquement ont été malades et 2 sont morts. Parmi les 319 veaux-contrôles non traités des mêmes élevages et de la même période de vêlage, 114 (= 35,7 p. 100) sont devenus malades, et 24 sont morts.

3. — Dans 5 élevages infectés, le taux de morbidité chez les ani¬ maux traités a été comparé avec les pertes survenues au cours de périodes de vêlage précédentes. Sur 107 veaux traités, 5 (4,6 p. 100) ont été malades et 2 sont morts. Parmi les 232 animaux non traités, 78 (= 33,8 p. 100) ont été malades et 27 sont morts.

La colonisation microbienne artificielle du naso-pharynx de veau nouveau-né est donc considérée comme une mesure prophylactique efficace contre les maladies infectieuses de la période néonatale.

Global streamflow and flood response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering
Authors: Wei Liren , Ji Duoying , Miao Chiyuan , Moore John C.
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Flood risk is projected to increase under projections of future warming climates due to an enhanced hydrological cycle. Solar geoengineering is known to reduce precipitation and slowdown the hydrological cycle, and may be therefore be expected to offset increased flood risk. We examine this hypothesis using streamflow and river discharge responses to the representative concentration pathway RCP4.5 and Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) G4 experiments. We also calculate changes in 30, 50, 100-year flood return periods relative to the historical (1960–1999) period under the RCP4.5 and G4 scenarios. Similar spatial patterns are produced for each return period, although those under G4 are closer to historical values than under RCP4.5. Under G4 generally lower streamflows are produced on the western sides of Eurasia and North America, with higher flows on their eastern sides. In the southern hemisphere northern parts of the land masses have lower streamflow under G4, and southern parts increases relative to RCP4.5. So in general solar geoengineering does appear to reduce flood risk in most regions, but the relative effects are largely determined by this large scale geographic pattern. Both streamflow and return period show increased drying of the Amazon under both RCP4.5 and G4 scenarios, with more drying under G4.
Improved model for correcting the ionospheric impact on bending angle in radio occultation measurements
Authors: Angling Matthew J. , Elvidge Sean , Healy Sean B.
Published: April 2018

Abstract. The standard approach to remove the
effects of the ionosphere from neutral atmosphere GPS radio occultation
measurements is to estimate a corrected bending angle from a combination of
the L1 and L2 bending angles. This approach is known to result in systematic
errors and an extension has been proposed to the standard ionospheric
correction that is dependent on the squared L1 ∕ L2 bending angle difference
and a scaling term (κ). The variation of κ with height, time,
season, location and solar activity (i.e. the F10.7 flux) has been
investigated by applying a 1-D bending angle operator to electron density
profiles provided by a monthly median ionospheric climatology model. As
expected, the residual bending angle is well correlated (negatively) with the
vertical total electron content (TEC). κ is more strongly dependent on the solar zenith angle,
indicating that the TEC-dependent component of the residual error is
effectively modelled by the squared L1 ∕ L2 bending angle difference term in
the correction. The residual error from the ionospheric correction is likely
to be a major contributor to the overall error budget of neutral atmosphere
retrievals between 40 and 80 km. Over this height range κ is
approximately linear with height. A simple κ model has also been
developed. It is independent of ionospheric measurements, but incorporates
geophysical dependencies (i.e. solar zenith angle, solar flux, altitude). The
global mean error (i.e. bias) and the standard deviation of the residual
errors are reduced from -1.3×10-8 and 2.2×10-8
for the uncorrected case to -2.2×10-10 rad and 2.0×10-9 rad, respectively, for the corrections using the κ model.
Although a fixed scalar κ also reduces bias for the global average,
the selected value of κ (14 rad−1) is only appropriate for a
small band of locations around the solar terminator. In the daytime, the
scalar κ is consistently too high and this results in an overcorrection of the bending angles and a positive bending angle bias.
Similarly, in the nighttime, the scalar κ is too low. However, in
this case, the bending angles are already small and the impact of the choice
of κ is less pronounced.

Published: April 2018

Abstract. Solar radiation is the main driver of the Earth's climate. Measuring solar radiation and analysing its interaction with clouds are essential for the understanding of the climate system. The EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF) generates satellite-based, high-quality climate data records, with a focus on the energy balance and water cycle. Here, multiple of these data records are analyzed in a common framework to assess the consistency in trends and spatio-temporal variability of surface solar radiation, top-of-atmosphere reflected solar radiation and cloud fraction. This multi-parameter analysis focuses on Europe and covers the time period from 1992 to 2015. A high correlation between these three variables has been found over Europe. An overall consistency of the climate data records reveals an increase of surface solar radiation and a decrease in top-of-atmosphere reflected radiation. In addition, those trends are confirmed by negative trends in cloud cover. This consistency documents the high quality and stability of the CM SAF climate data records, which are mostly derived independently from each other. The results of this study indicate that one of the main reasons for the positive trend in surface solar radiation since the 1990's is a decrease in cloud coverage even if an aerosol contribution cannot be completely ruled out.
Regional evapotranspiration from an image-based implementation of the Surface Temperature Initiated Closure (STIC1.2) model and its validation across an aridity gradient in the conterminous US
Authors: Bhattarai Nishan , Mallick Kaniska , Brunsell Nathaniel A. , Sun Ge , Jain Meha
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Recent studies have highlighted the need for improved characterizations of
aerodynamic conductance and temperature (gA and T0) in
thermal remote-sensing-based surface energy balance (SEB) models to reduce
uncertainties in regional-scale evapotranspiration (ET) mapping. By
integrating radiometric surface temperature (TR) into the
Penman–Monteith (PM) equation and finding analytical solutions
of gA and T0, this need was recently addressed by the
Surface Temperature Initiated Closure (STIC) model. However, previous
implementations of STIC were confined to the ecosystem-scale using flux tower
observations of infrared temperature. This study demonstrates the first
regional-scale implementation of the most recent version of the STIC
model (STIC1.2) that integrates the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) derived TR and ancillary land surface variables in
conjunction with NLDAS (North American Land Data Assimilation System)
atmospheric variables into a combined structure of the PM and
Shuttleworth–Wallace (SW) framework for estimating ET at
1 km × 1 km spatial resolution. Evaluation of STIC1.2 at 13
core AmeriFlux sites covering a broad spectrum of climates and biomes across
an aridity gradient in the conterminous US suggests that STIC1.2 can provide
spatially explicit ET maps with reliable accuracies from dry to wet extremes.
When observed ET from one wet, one dry, and one normal precipitation year
from all sites were combined, STIC1.2 explained 66 % of the variability in
observed 8-day cumulative ET with a root mean square error (RMSE) of
7.4 mm/8-day, mean absolute error (MAE) of 5 mm/8-day, and percent
bias (PBIAS) of −4 %. These error statistics showed relatively better
accuracies than a widely used but previous version of the SEB-based Surface Energy
Balance System (SEBS) model, which utilized a simple NDVI-based
parameterization of surface roughness (zOM), and the PM-based MOD16
ET. SEBS was found to overestimate (PBIAS = 28 %) and MOD16 was found to underestimate
ET (PBIAS = −26 %).
The performance of STIC1.2 was
better in forest and grassland ecosystems as compared to cropland (20 %
underestimation) and woody savanna (40 % overestimation). Model
inter-comparison suggested that ET differences between the models are
robustly correlated with gA and associated roughness length
estimation uncertainties which are intrinsically connected to
TR uncertainties, vapor pressure deficit (DA), and
vegetation cover. A consistent performance of STIC1.2 in a broad range of
hydrological and biome categories, as well as the capacity to capture
spatio-temporal ET signatures across an aridity gradient, points to the
potential for this simplified analytical model for near-real-time ET mapping
from regional to continental scales.

Published: April 2018

The aim of this work was the description of surface and endogenous mycobiota colonisation of grapes, fresh grape juice, grape must, and wine primarily focused to the current spectrum of the penicillium species. One sample of white grape variety Palava and one sample of blue grape variety Dornfelder were collected in Small Carpathian wine growing region of Slovakia in the year 2017. Direct plating of grapes on agar plates was used for analysis of surface mycobiota of grapes while surface sterilsed grapes were used for endogenous mycobiota analysis. Mycobiota of juice, must, and wine was analysed by plate dilution method. Overall, we isolated 148 strains belonging to 13 genera of filamentous microscopic fungi and Mycelia sterilia from grape variety Palava, while the most frequent was Alternaria. Alternaria was the most common genus in the surface and endogenous colonisation with an average relative density 50% and 73.6%, respectively. A total of 2 species of Penicillium were detected from the grapes to wine, potentially toxigenic Penicillium expansum and P. chrysogenum. A total of 39 strains belonging to 6 genera and Mycelia sterilia were identified from grape variety Dornfelder. The most abundant genus was also Alternaria (51.3%), followed by Penicillium (12.8%). Alternaria was the most common genus in the surface and endogenous colonisation  and fresh grape juice with an average relative density from 20% (grape juice) to 71% (endogenous colonisation of grapes). A total of 3 species of Penicillium were detected from the grapes to wine, where Penicillium expansum were detected most commonly. In the second part of our work some selected isolates were tested to the ability to produce mycotoxins such as patulin, citrinin, and roquefortin C in in vitro condition by thin layer chromatography method. All tested  strains of Penicillium species were able to produce at least one mycotoxin.

Published: April 2018

Vegetables are an important part of the human diet. Sometimes, contamination by pathogenic Escherichia coli can be underestimated; moreover there is a risk of antibiotic resistance spreading via the food chain. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of Escherichia coli in fresh vegetables sold in retail market in the Czech Republic and to evaluate the risk to human health. Antibiotic resistance against 12 antibiotics, the presence of 12 virulence and 15 resistance genes were determined among 15 isolated strains. Most of tested strains belonged to B1 phylogenetic group, less frequently represented was B2 and D phylogroup. These results indicate that most strains are probably of human origin. All E. coli strains were resistant to at least one of twelve tested antibiotics. A multidrug resistance was observed in four strains. In this study, the presence of virulence factors Einv and papC and also genes encoding toxins (CNF1, CNF2) was detected. Nevertheless, none strain can be considered as STEC or EHEC. The widespread appearance of a growing trend associated with the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among enterobacterial isolates is undeniable and the possibility of transfer to humans cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, these results indicate that raw vegetables sold in the retail market can constitute a potential health risk for consumers.
Food safety from consumer perspective: health safety

Published: April 2018

Food industry along with agriculture constitute a major economy sector in most countries, because in addition to water intake and oxygen availability, food is another basic determinant for functioning of the human organism. For the proper functioning of human body, it is imperative that the customer chooses food so that the daily diet includes all the necessary nutrients in a reasonable proportion. At present, however, it is becoming more and more common that foodstuffs do not meet strict standards, are not properly stored, the packaging is damaged, or hygiene standards are not being adhered to, and therefore, in addition to health benefiting substances, they also contain harmful ones. According to the World Health Organization, the death of up to 2 million people a year around the world is caused by foods harmful to human health. The main objective of this report was to assess how consumers perceive the health safety of food in Slovakia and to find out whether some types of food are considered as potentially harmful to health. Primary data were obtained through a questionnaire survey conducted from October to December 2017 on a sample of 478 respondents. Respondents answered to 12 factual, and 9 classification questions, which were consequently analyzed using the Friedman test, Nemenyi test and Chi-Square test of Independence. Survey results showed that the majority of respondents had concerns about the health harming effects of food only occasionally and they trust the hygienic level of the restaurant facilities (60.5%), fast food (53%) and frozen food (49.2%) with few reservations. As the most hazardous foods are considered poultry meat, eggs and mayonnaise. If the consumer's health is endangered by food, the guilty party should be punished by ban (61.9%) or by suspension (19.5%).

Published: April 2018

For consumers, one of the basic criteria of choosing a foodstuff, apart from nutritional values, is their taste and smell. In edible insect as a novel food, these criteria are not quite decisive. The main criterion in the Western countries is the acceptability of the food. This work deals with sensory evaluation of protein and energy bars, enriched with cricket flour from American and Czech producers, and their acceptability for consumers from the Czech Republic. The sensory evaluation was done using the questionnaire survey and a simple electronic nose. The survey has shown that edible insect bars are acceptable as a new type of food for consumers in the Czech Republic. Best rated by consumers were orange and pineapple flavour bars from the Czech manufacturer. Statistically significant difference was not detected between evaluation of the bars from the American and Czech manufacturers. Also, the difference between the bars of different flavours from the Czech producer was evaluated using a simple machine - a portable electronic nose. There was not a statistically significant difference between bars of different flavours from the American manufacturer. The positive contribution of the survey is that more than 80% of consumers are willing to consume food enriched with edible insect. This fact shows a change in public attitude to these foods.
Detection of Training Needs of Workers in the Fur Industry: The case of Macedonia Greece
Authors: Brinia Vasiliki , Vanidis Harilaos
Published: April 2018

The paper investigates the training needs of workers in the fur industry and suggests the design of a respective training program. Based on the views of the workers themselves, the paper detects the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills necessary for their employment in this field as well as it identifies training gaps. In order to gain access to a big sample, the region of Macedonia, Greece was chosen as the place at which the field research took place, as it presents the highest numbers in fur production in the country. Qualitative field research, through semi-structured interviews, has been conducted. The main findings of the survey showed that there is no training support for the fur industry in Greece, both at the level of initial education and at the level of continuous training of the employees in it. The workers’ participation in a specialized training program will contribute to the upgrading of the industry, according to the workers’ views.

Authors: Choochuy Wilailak , Phirasant Jirawat , Pittungnapoo Witiya
Published: April 2018

The purpose of this research was threefold. The first objective was to analyze the community context and the existing design process for cultural silver jewelry around the communities of the Si Satchanalai Historical Park, Sukhothai Province. This was followed by the development of a future design process. Finally, an evaluation on the level of satisfaction with the new design process was conducted. The research instruments included an in-depth interview, a non-participatory observation, the focus group discussion, questionnaire, seminars and displays. The procedure of developing the future design process for cultural silver jewelry included: (1) finding solutions for problems, (2) creating new design concepts, (3) sketching, and (4) prototyping. The future new design process resulted in reducing the production costs. Evaluation of the future design process also involved several aspects: the features, the concept, and the prototyping. The findings confirmed the highest level of satisfaction on the silver jewelry as rated by the community sages for the Devious Collection at 95 per cent.
The military-geographical significance of the Suwałki Gap
Authors: Parafianowicz Ryszard
Published: April 2018

Dynamic changes in the security environment are forcing us to reflect on the shape of the
international order at the end of the second decade of the 21st century. The aggressive
policy of the Russian Federation, which is confirmed by the conflict with Georgia in 2008
and the current situation in Ukraine, indicates that the use of military violence in the
resolution of international disputes is not a historical category at all. This is of particular
importance to the geopolitical location of the Republic of Poland. The length of our land
border with the Russian Federation is 210 km, while with Belarus it is 418 km. The above
fact has a fundamental impact not only on the public debate on the security of our country
and the region, but also, and perhaps most importantly, on the shape of defence policy
and the content of planning possible measures to prevent and counteract the escalation
of prospective tensions in NATO-Russia relations. Both Russian military doctrine and
the opinions expressed by politicians and specialists dealing with military issues and
political and military experts indicate that, from the Russian perspective, the Baltic
States’ membership of the North Atlantic Alliance and the presence of NATO troops on
the territory of these countries, is highly unfavourable. Therefore, there are grounds to
believe that countries such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, are treated by Russia as
natural bridgeheads, convenient for bringing possible strikes against Russia. Therefore, it
is possible that blocking communication routes leading to these countries, while cutting
them off from the support of allied land forces, may prove to be a key success factor in the
situation of a hypothetical armed conflict, aimed not only at depriving these countries of
their sovereignty, but also aimed at discrediting the power of the Alliance.
UM OLHAR SOBRE A EXPERIÊNCIA DE INCLUSÃO DE PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA QUE TRABALHAM EM UMA UNIVERSIDADE PÚBLICA
Authors: Marques Davi Sampaio , Moreira Tainah Pinheiro , De Lima Tereza Cristina Batista
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho objetivou investigar as percepções que pessoas com deficiência que trabalham numa universidade pública federal têm a respeito de suas experiências de inclusão nos seus grupos de trabalho. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e descritiva, utilizando-se entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para tratamento e análise dos dados, optou-se pela análise de conteúdo. O referencial teórico foi desenvolvido a partir do construto “experiência de inclusão” abordado por Ferdman et al. (2009). Destaca-se que a experiência de inclusão percebida ainda apresenta barreiras e lacunas, como problemas de acessibilidade, falta de conhecimento e limitações de ordem burocrática. Os achados sugerem a necessidade de ações de comportamento inclusivo por parte das PcDs, seus grupos de trabalho e da organização. Como contribuições, destaca-se que o trabalho investigativo junto a esse público traz à tona e dá voz a diferenças, muitas vezes, reprimidas, abafadas, ou simplesmente veladas no mundo social e do trabalho.
O PROCESSO DE INCLUSÃO DE AUTISTAS NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO
Authors: Leopoldino Cláudio Bezerra , Coelho Pedro Felipe Da Costa
Published: April 2018

Indivíduos com autismo enfrentam barreiras para atuar no mercado de trabalho brasileiro em função de restrições inerentes ao autismo, como limitações na comunicação, e devido a questões estruturais. A despeito de sua representatividade na população, poucas pesquisas abordam a sua inclusão no mercado de trabalho. Diante disso, este estudo objetiva apresentar o panorama do processo inclusivo de autistas no mercado de trabalho. A partir de revisão da literatura, o presente ensaio teórico aborda as políticas públicas e o processo de inclusão de pessoas dentro do Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), além das dificuldades e oportunidades decorrentes deste processo. Os resultados sugerem que os dispositivos legais não foram acompanhados de estruturas para a implantação do processo inclusivo, e deveriam estimular a preparação de autistas para a atuação profissional e sua contratação. Os entraves para inclusão resultam do preconceito dos empregadores e da falta de preparo vocacional das pessoas com autismo, além da ineficácia das cotas para deficientes e ausência de incentivos. Esses obstáculos podem ser amenizados com a exploração das potencialidades das pessoas com TEA, como a facilidade em executar funções repetitivas e memorizar detalhes. A inclusão de autistas também pode ser uma boa oportunidade para empregadores e para o Estado.
A DIVISÃO ENTRE TRABALHO, FAMÍLIA E ORGANIZAÇÕES PARA CASAIS DE DUPLA JORNADA (TWO-JOB COUPLES): Notas para um Debate sobre o Caso Brasileiro
Authors: Neves Diana Rebelo , Nascimento Rejane Prevot
Published: April 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é abordar a relação entre a jornada de trabalho diária e as tarefas domésticas entre os casais de dupla jornada (two-job couples), termo que define situações em que ambos os cônjuges mantém um vinculo de trabalho formal com organizações. Este tema, ainda pouco explorado nos estudos sobre trabalho no Brasil, será desenvolvido por meio de um ensaio teórico baseado, principalmente, no trabalho da socióloga americana Arlie Russell Hochschild, que estuda a temática do trabalho feminino e da dupla jornada há mais de 20 anos, além de abordar temas como família, cultura de mercado, padrões globais de cuidados de trabalho, psicologia social e a relação entre cultura e emoção. Outros autores ajudarão a complementar a discussão, cujo objetivo final é proporcionar um debate sobre esta temática considerando o contexto brasileiro.
PROCESSOS DE RACIALIZAÇÃO: Inteligibilidade, Hibridade e Identidade Racial em Evidência
Authors: De Souza Eloisio Moulin
Published: April 2018

Este artigo visa analisar as inteligibilidades sobre raça produzidas pelos processos de racialização nos alunos de graduação em administração de uma universidade federal. Para atingir este objetivo foram realizados grupos focais com alunos de graduação em administração, utilizando-se a análise do discurso como forma de análise dos dados produzidos. As análises foram realizadas e fundamentadas pelas lentes conceituais fornecidas pela abordagem pós-colonial em uma perspectiva construcionista social de raça para se entender o que significa raça para os alunos e como as fronteiras entre diferentes raças são construídas e descontruídas. Nesse sentido, a inteligibilidade hegemônica sobre raça está baseada em características fenotípicas, principalmente cor de pele. Entretanto, outras inteligibilidades também foram encontradas. Apesar de utilizarem características fenotípicas na definição de raça, os alunos evidenciam em seus discursos as formas pelas quais elementos fenotípicos são politicamente utilizados para mascarar opressões, hierarquias sociais, desigualdades e aspectos históricos relacionados a construção de raça no contexto brasileiro, rompendo com a lógica essencialista de que haveria uma raça original e essencial.

Promoting Student Understanding through Virtual Manipulatives
Authors: Reiten Lindsay
Published: April 2018

The number of collections and the capabilities of virtual manipulatives (VMs) has grown considerably during the past twenty-plus years. A VM is “an interactive Web-based visual representation of a dynamic object that presents opportunities for constructing mathematical knowledge” (Moyer, Bolyard, and Spikell 2002). VMs come in a variety of platforms (e.g., java, html5, flash, cdf, etc.) and as apps for tablets (e.g., iPad and Android). Additionally, I consider preconstructed dynamic geometry objects (e.g., dynamic worksheets constructed and published using GeoGebra) as VMs due to the interactive nature of these dynamic objects.
Passivité, paresse et action
Authors: Roussel Danny
Published: April 2018

Dans cet article, je montre, dans un premier temps, le rôle joué par la passivité et la paresse dans la philosophie du droit de Hegel. Cela permet, dans un deuxième temps, de mieux comprendre la « philosophie première » de Jean-Luc Nancy, celle qui s’intéresse à l’être singulier pluriel et qui s’est élaborée, à ses débuts, dans un rapport à la passivité chez Hegel. Enfin, parce que paresse et activité sont toujours intrinsèquement liées, je termine ce parcours par un retour critique sur ce que Nancy propose comme action dans une analyse d’un de ses plus récents ouvrages intitulé Que faire ?
Pécher n’est pas un crime : Ivan Illich et l’institutionnalisation du péché par l’Église
Authors: Breton Mahité
Published: April 2018

Pour Ivan Illich, penseur critique du xxe siècle animé par une foi profonde, le péché est un manquement à la dignité d’un autre qui m’interpelle et à ma propre vocation à répondre, telles qu’elles ont été révélées par l’Incarnation et l’Évangile. Dans cette perspective, Illich voit dans la criminalisation du péché, c’est-à-dire sa transformation en infraction à la loi de l’Église à travers l’imposition de la confession obligatoire au xiiie siècle, une perversion de ce qui a été ouvert par l’Évangile. Cet article expose la conception d’Illich et explore sa force, non comme historiographie du passé, mais comme porteuse d’une singulière résonance avec le présent.
FORMAÇÃO, MANUTENÇÃO E RECUPERAÇÃO DE RELAÇÕES EQUIVALENTES EM ADULTOS DE TERCEIRA IDADE

Published: April 2018

Estudar a formação, a manutenção e a recuperação de classes de estímulos equivalentes com cidadãos da terceira idade pode ser importante para a produção de dados que podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de recursos educacionais relevantes para essa população. O número de estímulos a serem relacionados em classes de equivalência foi manipulado para avaliar o efeito do tamanho das classes na formação, na manutenção e na recuperação destas. Dezoito senhoras da terceira idade foram distribuídas em dois grupos e foram ensinadas, por meio do procedimento de escolha de acordo com modelo, a selecionar estímulos familiares para formar relações equivalentes em seis classes com quatro e seis membros. Cada grupo foi submetido ao procedimento de ensino para formar os dois tamanhos de classes, mas em diferentes ordens, para controle dessa variável. Testes de relações emergentes foram aplicados imediatamente após a fase de ensino e após um período de seis semanas. Os resultados mostraram que o tamanho das classes não afetou a probabilidade de formação das relações de equivalência e que não houve diferença no número de participantes que mantiveram as classes com quatro ou seis estímulos. No entanto, a probabilidade de restabelecimento das relações enfraquecidas durante o período de seis semanas esteve relacionada ao tamanho das classes. O número de respostas incorretas diminuiu durante o teste quando as classes tinham seis estímulos, mas não quando tinham quatro estímulos. Conclui-se que o restabelecimento das classes de equivalência foi facilitado quando as classes tinham maior número de membros.
CONSIDERAÇÕES TEÓRICAS SOBRE IDENTIDADE DE LUGAR À LUZ DA ABORDAGEM HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL
Authors: Ponte Alexandre Quintela , Bomfim Zulmira Áurea Cruz , Pascual Jesus Garcia
Published: April 2018

Este artigo traz como principal foco de discussão o conceito de identidade de lugar. A proposta é fazer, inicialmente, uma contextualização do tema a partir das categorias espaço, lugar e não-lugar. Esta discussão inicial visa compreender essas categorias como construções semióticas e ideológicas, as quais se moldam a partir das interações humanas com o ambiente para além da simples ocupação física. Em seguida, apresentaremos a metodologia histórico-cultural de base materialista histórico-dialética, que possibilitará compreender a argumentação final do artigo; nesta etapa, o método será abordado historicamente com o objetivo de apontar as bases fundamentais à sustentação da visão de homem adotada por este estudo. Finalmente, discorreremos criticamente sobre identidade de lugar. Para esta tarefa, elegemos como principal centro de revisão teórica a concepção defendida por Proshansky, Fabian e Kaminoff. Identificamos que a linha de argumentação epistemológica desses autores segue uma vertente marcada pelo pragmatismo de Dewey e o interacionismo simbólico de George Mead. Assim, pensamos que pesquisar a relação de identificação das pessoas com os ambientes, tendo como método a abordagem histórico-cultural, exige definir esta categoria não pelo modelo de Proshansky et al., mas centrado epistemologicamente no próprio método histórico-cultural sob o risco de incongruência teórica. Portanto, defendemos uma concepção de identidade de lugar amalgamada à teoria da afetividade proposta por Bader Sawaia, onde afeto está ontologicamente ligado às dimensões ética e política. Consequentemente, identidade de lugar é pensada não apenas em termos de identificação com o ambiente, mas como possibilidade de vinculação afetiva e transformadora da realidade psicossocial.
O homem da moral e o homem da ética em Lavoura Arcaica
Authors: Vieira Alessandra Aguiar
Published: April 2018

Este artigo visa a analisar alguns aspectos do livro Lavoura Arcaica, escrito por Raduan Nassar,publicado em 1975 e posteriormente traduzido para o espanhol, alemão e francês. Esse livro é considerado sua obra-prima e gerou considerável interesse dos críticos literários graças ao seu caráter inovador, marcado por um discurso confessional que é imposto aos seus leitores,convidando-os a uma viagem aos aspectos mais íntimos e profundos da existência humana. Nesta medida, este trabalho diz respeito à complexa construção da identidade social e alteridade nos personagens envolvidos. Analisamos como a identidade pressuposta é quebrada pelo personagem André ao longo do romance e como ela o impulsiona a defender a sua própria alteridade – um movimento que provoca a divisão e a ruptura de valores naturalizados no seio da família. No entanto, ao questionar “os limites da fazenda”, André entra em um constante embate retórico com seu pai Yohama, o que pode representar, no ponto de vista de Sueli Rolnik, o encontro do homem da moral e o homem da ética.
Acessando o medo do crime: Um survey por meio da internet
Authors: Pimentel Carlos Eduardo , Gunther Hartmut , Black Peter Ulrich Vieth
Published: April 2018

É reconhecida a importância dos meios de comunicação de massa nos processos de socialização e influência. Todos os dias somos informados pelos meios de comunicação de massa,principalmente pela TV, de uma grande quantidade de crimes. A transmissão de tais comportamentos pode suscitar medo na audiência, mas também ajudá-los a se proteger. Com o objetivo de conhecer variáveis correlacionadas com esse medo, realizou-se um survey pela internet na cidade de Brasília, por meio da tradução da Escala do Medo do Crime que foi utilizada nos EUA,com o objetivo de verificar possíveis relações desse medo com a exposição à TV, gênero e idade com base na teoria do cultivo e hipótese da vulnerabilidade. Os principais resultados apoiam a teoria do cultivo, mas não se verificou relação do medo do crime com o gênero e a idade dos participantes. Todavia talvez as relações não sejam simplesmente lineares. Os principais resultados são discutidos fundamentadas na literatura especializada e sugestões de estudos futuros foram realizadas.

Published: April 2018

Saber lidar com paciente em fase terminal é, ainda, extremamente difícil, mesmo com os avanços na tecnologia e da medicina, na medida em que a morte é enfrentada como um tabu pela sociedade, as probabilidades de reversão da doença são mínimas e os profissionais da saúde carecem detreinamento para lidar com essa questão. Esse último fator é preocupante, porque os indivíduos que se encontram nessa fase vivenciam diversos conflitos, entre eles sentimentos de impotência, angústia e temor em relação à vida e necessitam de um suporte ativo por parte da família e daequipe médica. O presente artigo visa desse este assunto, enfatizando a atuação desses profissionais que devem estar atentos para as questões presentes na vivência cotidiana de seus pacientes. Inicialmente serão expostos alguns conceitos de “paciente terminal” e a problematização do tema, que sustentam uma discussão importante para entender o assunto com clareza e cientificidade. Serão apresentados também alguns métodos bastante discutidos e questionados na área de saúde como a eutanásia e a distanásia, sem deixar de abordar durante todo o trabalho a parte do paciente terminal, “sujeito” central de todo o processo. Por fim, esta pesquisa tem como intuito enriquecer conhecimentos para futuros profissionais da saúde, já que essa preparação se faz necessária para oferecer auxílio aos envolvidos nessa questão
