CHANGE OF THE NUMBER AND SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESES OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH IN THE SOUTH OF WESTERN SIBERIA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY
Authors: Ovchinnikov V. A.
Published: March 2017

The article is based on the comparative analysis of regulatory and administrative documents, record keeping and information and reference materials, periodicals and Internet resources. The author identifies the causes, determines the performance, features and results of the process of changing the size and characteristics of the Episcopal body of Russian Orthodox Church dioceses in the south of Western Siberia at the beginning of the XXI century. The process in question was directly related to the reform of "splitting" the dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2011 – 2015. It proceeded in line with national trends, but had a number of negative consequences for the dioceses of the region due to the fact that they being "young" had a less developed organizational and management structure, material and economic basis compared with the dioceses of the European part of Russia. The reform, which has a positive deferred effect on the ROC, at the target stage, led to an increase in the number of dioceses and ruling bishops from 5 to 18, to the rejuvenation of the Episcopal body while reducing the level of theological education, management experience and monastic life. Based on the analysis of the reform the author presupposes what impact the results will have on strengthening the management and development of the organizational structure of the ROC administrative-territorial units in the south of Western Siberia.
THE CATEGORY OF "MUNDANE CONSCIOUSNESS" IN PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: Andryushkova N. P.
Published: March 2017

The article analyzes the phenomenon of ordinary consciousness as a category, whose largely contradictory and paradoxical nature evokes interest. It describes the main approaches to the study of ordinary consciousness and views on its nature in philosophical and psychological concepts. The article analyzes the ratio of ordinary consciousness with the related concepts of "mass consciousness", "common psychology", "group consciousness", "social consciousness". It describes the relationship of ordinary consciousness with culture and its place in the life of an individual as a cultural component, an inherent trait of any historical type of consciousness. The conclusion is that ordinary consciousness acts as an intermediary between the subject and the environment in which it is located, as well as between the individual and society. In addition to this, ordinary consciousness has not only a reflective function, but also acts as a regulator of social and particularly group behavior.

Authors: Belogay K. N. , Morozova I. S.
Published: March 2017

The article features the problem of the study of body image among women in different age periods; it gives characteristic of level and structural differences between the groups of women in their early and middle adulthood. It is theoretically proved that the body image is largely determined by beliefs, perceptions about oneself and one’s “I” than by actual physical reality. The article establishes age variability of body image in women during early and middle adulthood. It was determined that women in their early adulthood assess their body more according to external evaluations.

The article presents the results of the changes in the indices of physicaland psychophysiological development of children at the age of 7 – 12 years old with regard to gender. It estimates a significant increase in the length, girth and body weight in children surveyed in the period of second childhood and early adolescence, and an increase in thickness of skin-folds of fat were found only in the period of second of childhood. The greatest development of the properties of nerve processes and mental functions were observed in the second period of childhood, and with the onset of puberty a decline in psychophysiological development was noted.
EXACT SOLUTIONS FOR THE DISPERSION RELATION OF BOGOLIUBOV MODES LOCALIZED NEAR A TOPOLOGICAL DEFECT- A HARD WALL - IN BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE
Authors: Pikhitsa Peter , Pikhitsa Peter
Published: March 2017

A Bose-Einstein condensate of bosons with repulsion, described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and restricted by an impenetrable “hard wall” (either rigid or ﬂexible) which is intended to suppress the “snake instability” inherent for dark solitons, is considered. The Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations to find the spectra of gapless Bogoliubov excitations localized near the “domain wall” and therefore split from the bulk excitation spectrum of the Bose-Einstein condensate are solved. The “domain wall” may model either the surface of liquid helium or of a strongly trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. The dispersion relations for the surface excitations are found for all wavenumbers along the surface up to the ”free-particle” behavior , the latter was shown to be bound to the “hard wall” with some “universal” energy .
AFFINOR METRIC STRUCTURES AND THEIR PHYSICAL APPLICATIONS
Authors: Kornev Evgeniy , Kornev Evgeniy
Published: March 2017

This work describes the fundamentals of the mathematical theory of affinor metric structures and physical problems where these structures are used. Affinor metric structure is defined as an arbitrary 1-form having a radical of arbitrary rank, a certain Riemannian metric and a special field of automorphisms of tangent spaces connecting the exterior differential of this 1-form and a metric. Affinor metric structures are a generalization of almost contact metric structures and Kahlerian structures with a precise fundamental 2-form. At the end of the work, applications of affinor metric structures in physics are described. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate possibilities of application of the theory of affinor metric structures when solving various mathematical and physical problems. In particular, the use of such structures to search for closed curves with a nonzero circulation of a vector field and construction of submanifolds on which the exterior differential of some 1-form induced by a vector field is non-degenerated. Methods of Riemann geometry and theories of differential forms and mathematical analysis on manifolds were used. The relevance of the subject matter is due to the most common case of statement of the problem for some 1-form with radical of arbitrary dimension. While in classic case, physics and geometry consider only 1-forms with a zero radical.

The authors discussed the results of study of population genetic structure of Khakass sub-ethnic groups - indigenous population of the Republic of Khakassia. The gene pool is studied according to two classes of markers: autosomal DNA (CCR2*rs1799864, CCR5*rs333, ACE1*rs4646994, PLAT*rs4646972, noA25*rs, PV92*rs3138523, ApoA1*rs3138522, noB65*rs, no F13B*rs) and quasigenetic markers (surnames). Total sample size was 249 persons for autosomal DNA dataset, and 9693 persons for the surnames dataset. Four Khakass sub-ethnic groups - Kachins, Koybals, Kyzyls, and Sagays - were investigated. Both classes of markers provided similar results on the subdivision of Khakass sub-ethnic groups and genetic relationships between them. Analysis of autosomal DNA markers showed statistically significant differences of allele frequencies. Interpopulation genetic variation (GST) of the Khakass populations was 2.10%. The largest genetic distances were observed when comparing Sagays and Kyzyls (d = 0.032). The least genetic distances were observed when comparing samples of Kachins and Koybals (d = 0.032). According to the surnames dataset, the similarity index (Ri) is minimal in the pair "Sagays - Kyzyls" and is maximal in a pair of "Kachins - Koybals". Genetic distances characterizing the differences between sub-ethnic groups, decrease, and kinship coefficient, which reflects the similarity increases in the following series: Sagays, Kyzyls, Kachins, and Koybals.

Published: March 2017

This research was conducted with the aim of developing previous studies that have successfully applied the science of graphology to analyze digital handwriting and characteristics of his personality through shape based feature extraction, which in the present study will be applied one method of psychological tests commonly used by psychologists to recognize human’s personality that is Enneagram. The Enneagram method in principle will classify the personality traits of a person into nine types through a series of questions, which then calculated the amount of the overall weight of the answer. Thickness is what will provide direction personality type, which will then be matched with the personality type of the result of the graphology analysis of the handwriting. Personality type of handwritten analysis results is processed based on the personality traits that are the result of the identification of a combination of four dominant form of handwriting through the software output of previous studies, that Slant (tilt writing), Size (font size), Baseline, and Breaks (respite each word). From the results of this research can be found there is a correlation between personality analysis based on the psychology science to the graphology science, which results matching personality types by 81.6% of 49  respondents data who successfully tested.
RBF KERNEL OPTIMIZATION METHOD WITH PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ON SVM USING THE ANALYSIS OF INPUT DATA’S MOVEMENT
Authors: Indraswari Rarasmaya , Arifin Agus Zainal
Published: March 2017

SVM (Support Vector Machine) with RBF (Radial Basis Function) kernel is a frequently used classification method because usually it provides an accurate results. The focus about most SVM optimization research is the optimization of the the input data, whereas the parameter of the kernel function (RBF), the sigma, which is used in SVM also has the potential to improve the performance of SVM when optimized. In this research, we proposed a new method of RBF kernel optimization with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) on SVM using the analysis of input data’s movement. This method performed the optimization of the weight of the input data and RBF kernel’s parameter at once based on the analysis of the movement of the input data which was separated from the process of determining the margin on SVM. The steps of this method were the parameter initialization, optimal particle search, kernel’s parameter computation, and classification with SVM. In the optimal particle’s search, the cost of each particle was computed using RBF function. The value of kernel’s parameter was computed based on the particles’ movement in PSO. Experimental result on Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Original) dataset showed that this RBF kernel optimization method could improve the accuracy of SVM significantly. This method of RBF kernel optimization had a lower complexity compared to another SVM optimization methods that resulted in a faster running time.

Published: March 2017

Many kinds of classification method are able to diagnose a patient who suffered Hepatitis disease. One of classification methods that can be used was Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LSSVM). There are two parameters that very influence to improve the classification accuracy on LSSVM, they are kernel parameter and regularization parameter. Determining the optimal parameters must be considered to obtain a high classification accuracy on LSSVM. This paper proposed an optimization method based on Improved Ant Colony Algorithm (IACA) in determining the optimal parameters of LSSVM for diagnosing Hepatitis disease. IACA create a storage solution to keep the whole route of the ants. The solutions that have been stored were the value of the parameter LSSVM. There are three main stages in this study. Firstly, the dimension of Hepatitis dataset will be reduced by Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (LFDA). Secondly, search the optimal parameter LSSVM with IACA optimization using the data training, And the last, classify the data testing using optimal parameters of LSSVM. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed method produces high accuracy value (93.7%) for  the 80-20% training-testing partition.
Eccrine Porocarcinoma: A Case Report of a Rare Skin Malignancy (Dermatopathologic View)
Authors: Bartoš Vladimír , Kullová Milada
Published: March 2017

Eccrine porocarcinoma is extremely rare malignant skin adnexal tumor histogenetically derived from the sweat gland ducts and acrosyringium. The authors described a 66-year-old woman, who was diagnosed to have a malignant cutaneous neoplasia arising in the lateral side of the right shin. The lesion displayed exophytic growth with central ulceration, it was rounded and well-defined having 25 mm in diameter. Microscopically, it exhibited a mixture of atypical basaloid and clear cell population arranged in solid-nodular fashion, that grew out from the epidermis and infiltrated the corium. Ductal formations were sporadically present as well. Tumor was immunohistochemically positive for HMWCK, CK7, EMA, weakly positive for pCEA and negative for mCEA and BerEP4. The spectrum of histomorphologic and immunophenotypic findings favored a diagnosis of primary eccrine porocarcinoma. Having made the retrospective analysis, the authors found only this single one biopsy-proven case of EP during the last seven years suggesting exclusive diagnosis in a routine dermatopathologic practice.

Authors: Krupnyk Anna Sofia
Published: March 2017

According to the researches by national authors, the variability in the number of children and adolescents with small bounded edentulous spaces is noted. It depends on geographical area of residence, level of the region urbanization, the state of dental care. The latter determines the need to study the prevalence of small bounded edentulous spaces in school age individuals in a particular region in order to plan and optimize their prosthetic rehabilitation. The foregoing justifies the objective of our research.Materials and methods of the research. Small bounded edentulous spaces in 2360 individuals of school age living in Lviv were the study subject. Study object involved determination of their incidence depending on age and gender, and main reasons for their occurrence.Results of the research and their discussion. The incidenceofsmall bounded edentulous spaces among school children in Lviv was found to range on average from 8.90% in girls to 10.53% in boys. The increase in the number of patients with the studied pathology in the age range from 9 to 17 years of age in both gender groups was proven. Moreover, these indices were higher in boys in all age groups in comparison with girls. Small bounded edentulous spaces were found to be diagnosed in the lateral areas of both jaws by 2.5 times more often than in the frontal ones in all examined patients. The main reason for premature loss of permanent teeth was the ineffectiveness of conservative treatment or its absence.Conclusions. The results of the research indicated that the incidence of small bounded edentulous spaces among school children in Lviv was significant, in the range of 10%. It had a tendency to increase with age substantiating the need for prosthetic rehabilitation of school age individuals.

A material that has the ability to extract certain substances from gases, liquids, or solids by causing them to adhere to its surface without changing the physical properties of the adsorbent. Rapid urbanization, population growth, industrial expansion and waste generation from domestic and industrial sources have rendered waste which are hazardous to man and other living resources. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and supply us with oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. At the same time, they reduce pollutants in water and soil. They also remove significant amounts of gaseous pollutants and particles from the air. The microscopic plants in soil also reduce air pollutants and degrade many toxic chemicals that enter the soil.

The trilogical dynamism "figure-drama-truth" makes up the central axle of the interdisciplinary method between literature and theology I have been working on for two decades. Based on this, in recent studies I highlighted the paradoxical character of the figure and the innovating role that the affirmation of the prepositional rhythm "from- in - to" represents tor dialogical speech. Going deeper into these lines of research, I will consider the issue of interdisciplinary speech from the two fold theological and literary perspectives of the "wound" and the "intersection". In agreement with this, this paper follows the itinerary "from" the vital wound of love, "in" the intersection of image and word, "to" the transfiguration of language. I hope that, by seeking new languages, "from" the spiritual convergence 01 research, my reflection can be received as a contribution "to" think and build a Christian and Latin American dialogical citizenship.

STORE IN STORE FRANCHISING STRATEGY: THE TREND IN FRANCHISING NEGOTIATION
Authors: Rosado-Serrano Alexander
Published: March 2017

The literature on franchising has traditionally focused on the effects and transformation it has promoted in the service sector, retailing, restaurants, hotels and other service-related industries. Store within a store research has been focused on the perspective of the manufacturer entering department stores. To date, little research has been carried out for the store in store strategy from the franchising perspective. This paper explores why big box retailers such as Walmart are adopting the store in store franchising strategy with specific partnerships with service firms such as McDonald's and Subway and how store in store franchising can be a new strategy for SMEs to expand. A content analysis methodology is used to interpret documents form Walmart Realty and specialized professional retail and quick service restaurants (QSR) magazines. The findings indicate that big box retailers such as Walmart choose to select the store in store franchising strategy to complement their shopping experience thru the boutique approach of complementing services in which they don't want to compete and increase their value proposition. Our findings also indicate that franchisor's choose the store in store franchising strategy due to the operational capabilities it acquires thru leasing space and high traffic availability that operating inside the big box store provides. We also suggest that store in store franchising strategy can be a new entry strategy for Family Enterprises and SMEs.

ALGUNAS APROXIMACIONES PARA MEDIR LA RENTABILIDAD EMPRESARIAL EN RELACIÓN A LA LEALTAD DEL CLIENTE Y LA SATISFACCIÓN DE LOS EMPLEADOS. “EL CASO DE ARICA”
Authors: Viera Castillo Daniel , Pérez Vallebona Orlando
Published: March 2017

El propósito es identificar si la satisfacción del empleado está directamente relacionado con la lealtad de los clientes, y por ende en rentabilidad empresarial. Se analizaban tres relaciones directas: (1) la relación directa entre satisfacción del empleado y lealtad del cliente, (2) la relación directa entre lealtad del cliente y la rentabilidad empresarial y (3) la relación directa entre satisfacción del empleado y rentabilidad empresarial. Los datos requeridos para este estudio se recogieron de empleados y clientes de los bancos, además de los balances de cada uno de éstos. Un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales se utilizó para comprobar las hipótesis planteadas. Los resultados preliminares de este modelo indicó que el modelo inicial debía ser replanteado, y por esta razón se debió acotar el modelo omitiendo toda relación con la rentabilidad empresarial como consecuencia de la baja cantidad de bancos y el alto número de clientes utilizados en la muestra que impiden realizar ajustes estadísticos.Palabras clave: rendimiento financiero, satisfacción del empleado, lealtad del cliente, satisfacción del cliente, imagen, confianza, compromiso.

La presente investigación conjuga nuestros intereses respecto a la economía cultural, vertida en gran medida por la solidaridad, es decir, el distanciamiento de una economía tan sólo competitiva. En este sentido, nos alejamos del principio de racionalidad y nos acercamos al de razonabilidad, que implica una consideración de la competencia y la cooperación social. Este distanciamiento permite visualizar el proceso de negociación desde otra perspectiva, en específico, desde la existencia de comunidad, guiada por el principio de estado de creencias cognitivas y conocimiento común.

Published: March 2017

La competitividad es un aspecto importante para las empresas hoy en día y mucho más para las empresas dirigidas por mujeres, pues los estereotipos de género están vigentes en todos los niveles y de algún modo impiden a la mujer avanzar por un lado, y por el otro, es la propia empresaria la que pone una barrera a su crecimiento con el fin de mantener el equilibrio en su papel como mujer y su papel empresarial, conociéndose esto último como “techo de cemento”.El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en determinar si existen diferencias en la competitividad de empresas dirigidas por hombres y mujeres. Para este fin se realizó una investigación utilizando la base de datos de las 500 mejores empresas de México, del año 2013, se analizaron los datos utilizando la prueba t. Los principales hallazgos de este trabajo corroboran lo encontrado en la literatura previa en lo que se refiere al valor de los activos y el capital que son menores en las empresas dirigidas por mujeres en comparación a las dirigidas por hombres. Por otra parte, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en el rendimiento en las empresas dirigidas por hombres y mujeres.

Evidence favoring a secular reduction in mandibular leeway space
Authors: Allen Tyler R. , Trojan Terry M. , Harris Edward F.
Published: March 2017

Objective:

Researchers have documented secular trends in tooth size among recent generations. This study was a test for a change in mandibular leeway space.

Materials and Methods:

Dental casts from participants in the Denver Growth Study (23 boys, 22 girls; born in the 1930s) were compared with casts from a contemporary series of orthodontic patients (23 boys, 22 girls; born in the 1990s). All were phenotypically normal, healthy American whites.

Results:

Analysis of variance (accounting for sex) showed that the cumulative mandibular primary canine plus first and second primary molar size (c + m1 + m2) was slightly larger in the recent cohort (23.53 mm earlier vs 23.83 mm recent cohort; mean difference: 0.30 mm; P = .009), principally due to larger second primary molars (m2) in the recent cohort. In turn, the sum of the permanent canine and two premolars (C + P1 + P2) was significantly larger in the recent cohort (21.08 mm earlier vs 21.80 mm recent cohort; mean difference: 0.72 mm; P = .002). Larger teeth in the contemporary series produced a mean leeway space per quadrant of 2.03 mm versus 2.45 mm in the earlier cohort—a clinically and statistically significant reduction (P = .030). Some tooth types (primary second molar and permanent canine) were significantly larger in boys than in girls, but the sex difference in leeway space was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:

Results suggest that mandibular leeway space is decreasing in 21st century American whites and may present a challenge to orthodontists in managing tooth size–arch length discrepancies.
Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneuriship
Authors: McFarlane Julie
Published: March 2017

Over the past few years the relationship between creativity and economic development has received increasing interest from a number of different fields of study, in parallel with increasing recognition of the role and importance of creative activities. Since the 1990s, creativity and innovation have achieved acceptance in the fields of business and management in the form of acknowledgement that new markets, or even market growth, may only be attained via creative and innovative solutions. Studies of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship and growth have become the prime catalysts for the identification and promotion of innovative knowledge industries, whose economic importance has become increasingly significant. Thus, in order to fully appreciate the role of creativity and innovation, it is first vital to understand the nature of entrepreneurship and, specifically, the creativity required to identify and exploit opportunities, and to acquire the necessary resources.
Entrepreneurial Leadership

Published: March 2017

The study of leadership has certainly come a long way since Thomas Carlyle wrote about heroes and hero worship in 1841 (Bryman, 2011). From the organizational perspective, the most significant role of a leader is to influence and provide direction to their followers and provide them with the much needed support for its success (Wood, 2009). Conversely, an ineffective leader does the adverse and can, in fact, detract from organizational goal accomplishment. Leadership has been defined from various viewpoints and each definition allows exploring the concept from a wider and diverse angle. Furthermore, over time, scholars have proposed many different styles of leadership, interestingly; yet, there is no particular style of leadership that can be considered universal. This chapter concentrates on leadership styles and theories and begins by defining leadership. It also incorporates entrepreneurial leadership (EL) as EL exists at the intersection of entrepreneurship and leadership; we take a look at the leading scholar Gupta’s definition of EL (Gupta et al. 2004).
Economic Theories of Entrepreneurship
Authors: McFarlane Julie
Published: March 2017

What is entrepreneurship? Since the turn of the century, there has been increased global interest in entrepreneurship both by individual theorists and by institutions. This is significant because over the last quarter of a century there has been a remarkable renaissance in terms of the recognition of small firms’ “centrality as a necessary competitive instrument in the development of a modern, vibrant and progressive economy” (Beaver and Prince, 2004, p. 34). The economics literature acknowledges the central role of entrepreneurs in economic development, the creation of wealth and evolutionary change. In the United Kingdom alone, over 5.2 million businesses are operating as of 2015; of those, 99% are SMEs, accounting for 14.5 million people in employed positions (Federation of Small Business, 2015). The literature suggests that it is entrepreneurs who are the driving force of such a revolution, in the form of an economic trend that is transforming and in some cases renewing economies worldwide, contributing not only to employment but also to economic, social and political stability. Therefore, it is vital to develop an understanding of the complex field of entrepreneurship by drawing on the early entrepreneurship literature, and by evaluating and understanding the wider contributions to the now-established distinctive economic theories of the entrepreneur.
Understanding Entrepreneurship An Introduction
Authors: Danson Mike , Arshed Norin
Published: March 2017

The idea of ‘enterprise’ has entered the lexicon of economic development tools, active labour market policies, and employability skills for graduates, amongst other areas of public and private life in recent years. A quick look at the literature, however, shows a much narrower application of the term even as late as the 1980s and 1990s, when ‘multinational enterprises’ was the dominant use of ‘enterprise’ in business and economics texts. ‘Entrepreneurship’ and ‘entrepreneur’ have longer histories but these have tended also to accrue new powers as economies have restructured and developed in new ways. As with other sub-disciplines, though enterprise and entrepreneurship have spread gradually beyond their traditional social cores, their study, application and analysis have evolved over time to embrace a wide range of strategic, social, political and economic areas. This chapter introduces the concept of ‘entrepreneurship’ and offers a launching platform for the remainder of the book.

O trabalho teve por objetivo verificar diferenças entre rendimento do concentrado proteico e proteína bruta da folha da mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz), obtidos a partir de três variedades comerciais: branca, cascuda e vermelha. As manivas foram plantadas seguindo o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com três repetições. Nas comparações entre as variedades, considerou coletas escalonadas pós-plantio, realizadas aos 12, 14 e 16 meses. O concentrado proteico foi obtido a partir da farinha das folhas inteiras e submetido ao método de termo - coagulação ácido e a proteína bruta pelo método padrão AOAC. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de variância e comparados pelo teste de Tukey - 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados não indicaram diferença significativa entre as médias obtidas para rendimento de concentrado proteico. Para a variável porcentagem de proteína bruta a variedade Branca foi a que apresentou maior valor, com média de 46,25%, seguida pela Cascuda e Vermelha, 44,52% e 37,30%, sucessivamente. Conclui-se que outros estudos devem avaliar condições que possam influenciar no teor de proteína foliar, como clima e solo, e, avaliar os níveis de ácido cianídrico de cada variedade, indicando qual das três é a melhor para a extração do concentrado proteico das folhas. Palavras chaves: Manihot esculenta Crantz, variedades comerciais, concentrado proteico, proteína bruta. ABSTRACT: The study aimed to assess the differences between income protein concentrate, crude protein of cassava leaf (Manihot esculenta Crantz), obtained from three commercial varieties: white, red and cascuda. The cuttings were planted following the completely randomized design with three replications. Comparisons between the varieties considered after planting staggered collections, held on 12, 14 and 16 months. The protein concentrate was obtained from flour of whole sheets and subjected to the term method - acid coagulation and crude protein by AOAC standard method. The data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test - 5% probability. The results indicated no significant difference between the mean values obtained for protein concentrate income. For the variable percentage of crude protein White variety showed the highest, with an average of 46.25%, followed by cascuda and Red, 44.52% and 37.30%, successively. We conclude that further studies should evaluate conditions that may affect the leaf protein content, such as climate and soil, and evaluate the hydrocyanic acid levels of each variety, indicating which of the three is the best for the extraction of protein concentrate from leaves Key words: Manihot esculenta Crantz, commercial varieties, protein concentrate, crude protein.
Protetor físico associado à semeadura direta de espécies vegetais nativas em área de Floresta Ombrófila Mista em processo de restauração

Published: March 2017

A semeadura direta é uma técnica barata e de fácil implantação utilizada para a restauração de áreas degradadas que pode ser otimizada com o uso de protetores físicos. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar a eficiência dos protetores físicos associados à semeadura direta na emergência, crescimento inicial e sobrevivência de plântulas de Parapiptadenia rigida (Benth.) Brenan, Eugenia uniflora L. e Eugenia involucrata DC. Os tratamentos consistiram de presença e ausência de protetores físicos (garrafas PET), sendo utilizados 24 pontos de semeadura para cada espécie em cada condição experimental. A emergência foi avaliada mensalmente a partir dos 15 dias até seis meses após a semeadura, o crescimento inicial foi avaliado mensalmente durante seis meses e a sobrevivência das plântulas, no sexto mês após a semeadura. Os dados de emergência, crescimento e sobrevivência das plântulas e os dados climáticos foram comparados por teste t de Student (p<0.05). A emergência e o crescimento inicial das plântulas das três espécies estudadas foram favorecidas pelo uso de protetores físicos. Entretanto, a sobrevivência nos pontos com protetor físico só foi superior ao controle para as plantas de E. uniflora.
Desenhos locais: experiências de bioconstrução no oeste do estado de Santa Catarina com agricultores familiares
Authors: Peñafiel Adriana Paola Paredes , Marques Flávia Charão , Prompt Cecília Heidrich
Published: March 2017

O artigo incide sobre o tema das inovações sob o ângulo do desenho ontológico na construção civil. Tomando experiências de agricultores familiares com bioconstrução no Oeste de Santa Catarina, procura-se descrever as relações entre diferentes agentes que foram criando condições para estes empreendimentos. Analisa-se que, apesar de existir um desenho dominante com relação à habitação rural e o seu entorno, existe uma série de aspectos não hierárquicos que foram configurando uma rede que abriu espaço para a bioconstrução na região. Foram observadas „amarrações‟ diversas entre técnicas, elementos naturais e organização social que parecem fazer parte de um compromisso ontológico dos agricultores familiares, mas também dos técnicos e operadores das políticas, que passam a ser „copesquisadores‟ junto com os primeiros. Assim, os envolvidos com a proposta vão se tornando desenhistas da sua própria realidade, gerando experiências „autônomas‟ que inovam ao „mudar tradicionalmente‟ as relações entre terra, agricultura, conhecimento, comunidade e trabalho.
El conflicto argentino-uruguayo por las Papeleras: diez años de una controversia socio-tecno-ambiental Latinoamericana
Authors: Cortassa Carina Gabriela , Wursten Andrés G. , Andrés Gonzalo
Published: March 2017

El artículo aborda retrospectivamente una controversia socio-tecno-ambiental en América Latina que en 2013 cumple una década de vigencia. Se trata del denominado “conflicto de las papeleras” entre Argentina y Uruguay, suscitado a raíz del proyecto de radicación de dos industrias productoras de pasta de celulosa sobre la costa oriental del río Uruguay. La percepción de los impactos sobre el ecosistema regional – en particular, sobre ese límite natural de soberanía compartida entre ambos países – generó una tenaz resistencia en la población argentina de la ciudad limítrofe de Gualeguaychú. En primer lugar, se describirán dos aspectos que justifican la condición de “caso paradigmático” con que suele calificarse al proceso: la magnitud de la oposición ciudadana y el carácter binacional del problema. En la siguiente sección se procederá a situar conceptualmente el conflicto en una confluencia de perspectivas teóricas, para analizar a continuación la experiencia de intervención social, las modalidades adoptadas en ausencia de instancias formales de participación, sus alcances y limitaciones intrínsecas. Se argumentará que los Estudios de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad latinoamericanos aún tienen por delante el desafío de generar herramientas reflexivas y evaluativas más sensibles a las particularidades que asume la participación ciudadana en conflictos socio-tecno-ambientales en ese contexto, si pretenden que sus aportes cognitivos resulten útiles para el diseño de políticas públicas orientadas a promoverla y gestionarla.
