Aprender a ver la luz. La fotografia como herramienta docente
Authors: Muros Alcojor Adrián , Muñoz Heras Olvido
Published: November 2017

En las asignaturas de iluminación de Arquitectura, la fotografía es una herramienta que muestra el resultado perceptivo de diferentes propuestas lumínicas. Captura en una imagen la percepción de un espacio que, a su vez, depende de aspectos formales y materiales propios de la arquitectura, de las características técnicas y cualitativas de la luz utilizada y de la sensibilidad de la mirada del fotógrafo. De un mismo espacio obtenemos infinitas imágenes con cualidades diferentes según sea la luz, una gran variedad de efectos sistematizables que permiten relacionar los propuestas lumínicas con sus resultados perceptivos de un modo comprensible e inequívoco. Como actividad complementaria a las clases planteamos un concurso de fotografía a nivel internacional, donde la luz artificial es la protagonista, con la intención de convertir la observación de la luz en un hábito del estudiante. Lo cual nos da la posibilidad de compartir experiencias, miradas y los sentimientos que la luz despierta con otros países.

In the lighting subjects of Architecture, photography is a tool that shows the perceptive result of different lighting proposals. It captures in an image the perception of a space that, in turn, depends on the formal and material aspects of the architecture, the technical and qualitative characteristics of the light used and the sensitivity of the photographer's gaze. From the same space we obtain infinite images with different qualities depending on the light, a great variety of systematizable effects that allow to relate the light proposals with their perceptive results in an understandable and unequivocal way. As a complementary activity to the classes, we propose a photo competition at an international level, where artificial light is the main character, with the intention of making the observation of light a habit of the student. Which gives us the possibility of sharing experiences, looks and feelings that the light awakens with other countries.

Aprendiendo negociando: la realidad es mi campo de juego
Authors: Capdevila Castellanos Ivan
Published: November 2017

Este artículo desarrolla la experiencia W.A.T.C.H., un curso de proyectos arquitectónicos realizado entre universidad, ayuntamiento, instituciones públicas, entidades privadas, asociaciones culturales, sociedad civil... Los proyectos han sido implementados y disfrutados por la ciudadanía. Sin embargo, el objetivo primero del curso no es la reproducción de cierto modelo profesional figurado en la imagen de los colectivos de arquitectos jóvenes, sino más bien el desarrollo de la inteligencia social, el posicionamiento crítico y la capacidad relacional del alumno como competencias propias de la asignatura Proyectos IV.  Para ello el curso plantea un desplazamiento de las habituales narrativas personales, como estrategia recurrente en las asignaturas de proyectos, hacia la creación de una experiencia radical de lo real en la que los diseños se convierten en ejercicios de laboratorización latouriana de la ciudad y en la que sus distintos agentes se convierten en expertos de “otro” conocimiento que se transfiere al ámbito académico arquitectónico.  

This article develops the W.A.T.C.H., experience, an architectural design course realized jointly between university, city government, public institutions, private entities, cultural associations, civil society...  The projects have been implemented and enjoyed by citizens. However, the objective is not the reproduction of a certain professional model that is represented nowadays in the image of young architects collectives, but rather the development by the student of social intelligence, critical positioning and relational capacity as their own competencies. To this end, the course proposes a displacement of personal narrative relations, as a recurrent strategy in design courses, towards the creation of a radical experience of the real in which design become and exercise of latouranization of the city and in which their different agents become experts of "other" knowledge that is transferred to the architectural academic context.
Permanencia en la fugacidad: explorando el potencial didáctico de la arquitectura efímera
Authors: García Martínez Pedro
Published: November 2017

En este texto se describe el proceso seguido para la realización de dos instalaciones arquitectónicas efímeras que representaron a la ETSAE en un festival de arte urbano. Seguidamente, se extraen y abstraen herramientas didácticas que pueden tener un valor para la docencia y el aprendizaje de la asignatura de proyectos arquitectónicos, u otras similares, presentes en los planes de estudios basados en competencias. En el desarrollo de dichas instalaciones el alumnado además de diseñar fue parte activa en la ejecución de los objetos proyectados. La similitud de esta dinámica con la realidad de la realización de los proyectos arquitectónicos supone una motivación extra, sin embargo exige que el docente sea consciente de que conlleva el uso de herramientas acordes con la misma. Tales herramientas han de permitir gestionar, además del diseño, la ejecución, el mantenimiento y la difusión de los resultados.

This paper describes the process followed for the construction of two ephemeral architectural installations that represented the ETSAE in an urban art festival. Then, we extract and abstract some didactic tools that can be valuable for teaching and learning architectural design subject or other similar to this one, according to competences based curricula. nDeveloping these installations, students have not only be required to designed them, but also to have been an active part in their execution. The similarity of this dynamics with real architectural processes is an extra motivation for students; however it requires the teacher to be aware that it involves the use of tools in accordance with it. Such tools must enable teachers to manage easily the different phases of the process: design, assembly, maintenance and the diffusion of results.

Transversalidad entre Publicidad y Arquitectura: una aproximación a la experiencia profesional
Authors: López Martínez José María , Aroca Vicente Edith , Carcelén González Ricardo
Published: November 2017

La aproximación o la divergencia entre aprendizaje en la escuela y la actividad profesional, siempre es un tema recurrente en la docencia de Proyectos. Si bien es cierto que las metodologías docentes no tienen por qué coincidir con objetivos profesionales, este hecho y su acumulación durante los sucesivos cursos de Proyectos, hacen que la divergencia sea la gran protagonista en esta controversia. Con el objetivo de aproximar estas dos situaciones, se ha planteado un curso de Proyectos en el que mediante el trabajo en equipo y la búsqueda de sinergias entre distintos grados universitarios (Grado en Arquitectura de la Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, y Grado en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas de la Universidad de Murcia) y diferentes agentes sociales se puedan compatibilizar y converger. Todo ello, enmarcado en un convenio con el Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Alhama de Murcia, a través de un Proyecto de Innovación Docente.

The approximation or the divergence between the learning at university and the professional activity is always a recurrent issue in Project teaching. Although it is true that the teaching methodologies don’t have to coincide with professional objectives, this fact and its accumulation during the successive courses of Projects, make that the divergence is the great protagonist in this controversy. With the aim of approaching these two situations, a Project course has been proposed in which, through teamwork and the search for synergies between different university degrees (Degree in Architecture of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, and Degree in Advertising and PR of the Universidad de Murcia) and different social agents can be compatible and converge. All this, framed in an agreement with the Alhama de Murcia Council, through a Teaching Innovation Project.
Protecting the Free Exercise of Religion in Health Care Delivery
Authors: O’Riley Christine A. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: November 2017

Not all actions that are legal are necessarily morally correct. However, there are few protections for providers who are pressured to comply with actions and procedures that infringe on their religious beliefs regarding human dignity. The right of health care providers to freely act on religious convictions and refrain from cooperating with morally reprehensible tasks is often eschewed in favor of political correctness or is branded as discrimination. Adequate safeguards are urgently needed for health care workers at all levels to ensure that they can continue to care for the sick and most vulnerable members of the community without violating the dictates of their conscience. This article examines the free exercise of religion as it pertains to medical provider conscience protections. The author argues for conscience protection legislation with a right of action.
A representação do sujeito feminino em Carmen, de Prosper Mérimée
Authors: Matias Felipe dos Santos
Published: November 2017

O presente artigo realiza uma análise acerca da representação que o narrador-protagonista de Carmen (1845), Don José, faz da mulher amada, Carmen, com o intuito de desnudar a forma unilateral pela qual a constituição do sujeito feminino é desenvolvida na narrativa, procurando detectar também as práticas discursivas e socioculturais que o narrador veicula. Este conto, do escritor francês Prosper Mérimée, possibilita um estudo a respeito do estabelecimento de questionamentos relativos à sociedade patriarcal e às convenções que regem os padrões comportamentais ligados à mulher, visto que na linguagem de Don José estão implícitas práticas e valores da ordem social falocêntrica. Esta investigação é fundamentada pelas teorias dos estudos culturais e dos estudos de gênero, focalizando o discurso e as práticas socioculturais na abordagem teórica.
Batismo de Sangue: literatura testemunhal como ferramenta do reconhecimento histórico da dor.
Authors: Rovai Marta Gouveia de Oliveira , Teixeira Eduardo Augusto Carvalho
Published: November 2017

Resumo: Este artigo discute e busca compreender a literatura de testemunho como fonte histórica importante para o entendimento da ditadura civil-militar e do processo de redemocratização no Brasil, por meio da obra do Frei Carlos Alberto Libânio Christo, o Frei Betto, intitulada Batismo de Sangue e publicada em 1982. Entende-se que as produções testemunhais de sobreviventes de grandes catástrofes não são reflexos da realidade, mas produtos históricos de uma sociedade específica e de agentes discursivos que interferem no próprio processo histórico, como o gênero testemunhal. A adoção de perspectivas e linguagens diferenciadas sobre a leitura do passado, o possível choque de conteúdos e interpretações entre a memória coletiva de militância de grupos distintos e a construção da memória relativa à participação de setores da Igreja Católica na resistência armada ao regime militar são preocupações abordadas neste texto. Palavras chave: Batismo de Sangue – ditadura – literatura - testemunho – dominicanos   Abstract: This article discusses and seeks the comprehension of witness testimony as an important historical source to understand the civil-militar dictatorship and the process of democratization of Brazil, through the literary work of the priest Carlos Alberto Libânio Christo, Frei Betto, called Batismo de Sangue, published in 1982. It is understood that the testimonial productions of survivors of great catastrophes, aren’t the reflexes of reality, but the historical products of a specific society and of discursive agents that interfere in the historical process itself, as a testimonial gender. The choice of perspectives and different languages about the analysis of the past, the possible shock of interpretations and contents between the collective memory of militancy of different groups and the construction of relative memory to the participation of sectors of the Catholic Church in the armed resistence to the military regime are some of the concerns addressed in this article. Keywords: Batismo de Sangue – dictatorship – literaty – testimony – dominicanos
O percurso traumático do herói contemporâneo em Longe da água, de Michel Laub
Authors: Machado Luiza Casanova , Vianna Vera Lúcia Lenz
Published: November 2017

Longe da Água (2004) é o romance do escritor portoalegrense Michel Laub. Com a finalidade de investigar como se dá a tensão entre a trajetória individual da personagem da obra do escritor gaúcho, contra uma força que insiste em determinar o seu percurso, a obra será pensada através de textos críticos que abordam a produção literária contemporânea brasileira e ocidental, em especial a narrativa, e que mapeiam seus principais traços e tendências, como, por exemplo, Karl Erik Schollharmmer (2011; 2013), Michel Maffesoli (2003) e Tânia Pellegrini (2008). A partir dessa questão é que será possível compreender de que maneira o tempo em Longe da Água nos mostra segundos e são contados dolorosamente, em um processo de escritura o qual se detém nos detalhes (nas minúcias do cotidiano), na busca incessante por explicações, na reconstrução do passado, na necessidade de entender as motivações por trás de certos atos (atitudes) de determinadas personagens e as consequências que conduzem a narrativa e ganham consistência de realidade imposta e impossível de fuga.
O racismo e a hipersexualização da mulher negra em Caderno de memórias coloniais de Isabela Figueiredo
Authors: Belonia Cinthia da Silva
Published: November 2017

No romance Caderno de memórias coloniais, da escritora portuguesa Isabela Figueiredo, o leitor pode observar a violência com que eram tratados os negros de Moçambique durante o período colonial dos anos 60-70. A sociedade local é extremamente racializada, sendo a hipersexualização da mulher negra o principal assunto nas conversas entre as mulheres brancas. Essa hipersexualização será analisada com base no livro Pele negra Máscaras brancas do psiquiatra martinicano Frantz Fanon. Para melhor analisar o racismo que tem o negro como mão de obra barata e a mulher negra como portadora de uma sexualidade exagerada, convocaremos também os autores Sergio Costa e Kwame Anthony Appiah.
Relativa Vulnerabilidade. Gênero e Natureza Humana no Filme "Sob a Pele".
Authors: Vieira Marcos Sardá
Published: November 2017

Na visão de um ser alienígena, que estratégias e nuances de vulnerabilidade poderiam ser apontadas para a condição do ser homem e ser mulher na sociedade urbana? Partindo desta curiosidade, este artigo reflete sobre a inversão do que caracteriza a vulnerabilidade humana fora de uma perspectiva consolidada pela dominação masculina, tendo como referência a narrativa do filme “Sob a Pele”, de 2013. A partir desta ficção, consideramos a vulnerabilidade do gênero masculino diante da ameaça de uma consciência inumana, que pretende capturar seus corpos. Em contraponto, nas relações que marcam o gênero feminino, consideramos válidos a empatia e o envolvimento emocional para as relações interpessoais como aspectos significativos, que tornam possível amenizar os sintomas da violência e melhorar a convivência social.
Projeções Interiores e Representação do Feminino em Shakespeare: Gênero, Violência e Fantasias Maternas
Authors: Ludwig Carlos Roberto
Published: November 2017

Este ensaio discute as projeções do masculino sobre o feminino que provoca uma representação ambivalente e distorcida das personagens femininas em Shakespeare. Esta ambivalência masculina particular cria visões negativas sobre as personagens femininas e desencadeiam visões ludibriosas sobre o feminino, que parecem ser, em geral, figuras opacas nas peças de Shakespeare. Consequentemente, as figuras femininas são segregadas e são alvo de violência e negação nas peças. No caso de Macbeth, sua esposa inicia a peça como uma figura cuja força ajuda Macbeth a conquistar o trono. Contudo, no decorrer da peça há um afastamento progressivo que leva a negação e violência contra as personagens femininas. Essa discussão está fundamentada nos estudos sobre fantasias maternas de Adelman (1992) e a noção e interioridade de Maus (1995). A partir destas duas discussões, crio o conceito de projeções interiores para discutir a distorção criada pelas personagens masculinas sobre as femininas.
A condição de refugiado e o exercício da voz
Authors: Mathias Dionei
Published: November 2017

O romance Der fasche Inder (‘O indiano postiço) foi publicado em 2008 pelo escritor iraquiano Abbas Khider. Escrito em alemão por um autor de origem estrangeira, o texto pode ser considerado parte do corpus da literatura Chamisso, que vem criando um espaço para a voz de imigrantes na literatura de expressão alemã. O romance retrata as experiências de um refugiado que foge da perseguição e da violência no Iraque, passando por vários países até chegar à Alemanha. O objetivo deste artigo reside em discutir os processos inerentes ao exercício da voz, analisando a questão da violência, do pertencimento e da literatura como prática discursiva em que o protagonista pode desenvolver sua voz, sem as restrições impostas pelo espaço social.
A estrutura da hesitação: análise do conto “Eveline”, de James Joyce, segundo conceitos de Anthony Giddens
Authors: Coelho Daniella Paez , Lenz Vianna Vera Lucia
Published: November 2017

No conto de James Joyce, “Eveline”, da obra Dubliners (1914), desenvolve-se o conflito de uma jovem frente à tomada de uma decisão que lhe pode ditar o destino. Construída predominantemente por fluxo de consciência, a narrativa centra-se no espaço interior da protagonista. A condição de Eveline assemelha-se aos conflitos reais, estudados e diagnosticados pelo sociólogo Anthony Giddens, em sua obra Modernidade e identidade (2002). Aplicando conceitos-chave da obra de Giddens, este trabalho objetivou analisar a protagonista, entendendo sua situação como um exemplo do desafio de como o “projeto reflexivo do eu”, a que Giddens chama a constante elaboração da auto-identidade, move, nos indivíduos modernos, sensações de “medo”, “ansiedade”, “insegurança”, “isolamento”. Sob esta perspectiva, a relação entre ficção e realidade revela-se ainda mais estreita neste conto, em que o realismo descritivo, característica marcante de Joyce, faz de Eveline uma “quase pessoa”.

The use of high spatial resolution satellite image for urban planning to determination of parameters related to land use as the fraction ofwaterproof areas correlating the housing density is currently a present and indispensable tool for decision makers. A short review of literaturediscusses the close relationship between population density and impermeability of the soil due to urban occupation. This close relationshiprefers to urban planning, regulatory elements of urban sprawl, as the intense waterproof surfaces directly affects the hydrological cycle byreducing the infiltration of rainwater and consequent increase in runoff, providing frequent flooding in the rainy season and floods. Thus,the quantification of waterproof areas, allows managers to actions related to public infrastructure such as transport, sanitation, health andeducation. Using high spatial resolution image (1m) of QuickBird II was obtained for 12 neighborhoods of the city of Porto Alegre-RS, thepercentage of waterproof areas and its relationship with housing density by census data. To verify the used hard classification, the study wassupported in obtaining the overall arrangement and the kappa factor, obtaining values of respectively 70 and 0.57% considered as satisfactoryfor the classification type used. From the information obtained it is clear that despite the population decline occurring in the central regionsand advance on the outskirts of the city, there was no impediment to the densification of the central nucleus with increased waterproof areas

Published: November 2017

Leukemias are malignant neoplasms that affect blood cells and originate in bone marrow. These are cancers of high incidence and are difficult to treat and there is a constant search for more efficient therapies. The present work investigated the cytotoxic action of the hydroalcoholic extract of Croton urucurana in human leukemia cells U937 and THP-1. The U937 and THP-1 cell lines were plated in a 100 μL/well volume (1x106 cells/mL) in 96-well plates, treated with extracts at final concentrations of 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL and 400 μg/mL and 800 μg/mL  for cell viability tests with MTT(-3- (4.5-dimethyl-2-thiazole) 2.5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide). After 48h, viability was assessed by MTT and the supernatant was used for determination of the Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD) enzyme. Fluorescence microscopy was used to evaluate apoptosis. The extract was able to reduce cell viability by the MTT assay, increase LD release and induce apoptosis in both cell lines tested at concentrations of 400 and 800 μg/ mL (p≤0.05). The C. urucurana extract presented cytotoxic activity against human leukemic cell lines U937 and THP-1, presenting itself as promising in the search for new antineoplastic agents.

Published: November 2017

The objective was to identify the microbiota present on hospital rooms surfaces of a surgical center, to know the susceptibility of the bacteria to antimicrobials and to evaluate the bacterial activity against the disinfectant commonly used in the hospital routine. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The samples were collected from surfaces in different environments of the surgical center including admission room, recovery room and operating rooms. The microorganisms were identified and after the isolation, the antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by the disc-diffusion method. The antimicrobial activity of the disinfectant was evaluated by the quantitative suspension test. Twenty-four areas were analyzed, 15 (62.5%) presented microbial contamination, and 35 strains with a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus coagulase (69%) were isolated, followed by S. saprophyticus (23%), Acinetobacter sp. (6%) and E. coli (2%). Of these, 51% had resistance to at least one antibiotic, and Staphylococcus methicillin resistant strains were found. The tested disinfectant showed proven antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial action of the disinfectant was proven, but the presence of microorganisms evidences the importance of hygienic care in order to avoid the recurrence of contamination after cleaning.

No presente artigo pode-se verificar a base científica da Gestão de recrutamento e seleção de pessoal no âmbito organizacional, apresentando várias formas e alternativas de como recrutar e selecionar seu capital intelectual. Verifica-se que a teoria e a prática estão integradas diariamente no serviço de Recrutamento e Seleção de Colaboradores. Sendo assim pode-se afirmar que os conceitos e os procedimentos adquiridos e utilizados vêm propor eficiência e potencialidade nas contratações. Vale salientar que o papel da Administração de Recursos Humanos é fundamental em todo o processo de aprendizagem organizacional, criando e estimulando políticas e ações que visem enfrentar problemas pessoais e de relacionamento. Sempre se deve lembrar que os supervisores de uma empresa - sejam eles gerentes de qualquer nível, diretores ou executivos - são os espelhos, os exemplos e os guias para seus subordinados. Assim, se querem que seus colegas trabalhem com plena capacidade e disposição, antecipando mudanças, enfrentando desafios com capacidade, criatividade e confiança, devem servir de exemplo para que eles os guiem, enfrentando muitas vezes seus medos e resistências.

O presente trabalho pretende demonstrar a importância da contabilidade nas organizações, enfatizando que a contabilidade pública está cada vez mais presente no cenário organizacional. Tal afirmativa se justifica, pois, procura evidenciar normas e legislações que regem organizações públicas, especificamente no âmbito municipal. O estudo é realizado em um ente público municipal da região, analisando-se a melhor forma de oferecer o serviço de transporte escolar aos alunos do município, procurando simultaneamente diminuir o valor despendido em função dessa necessidade. Por questão a ser resolvida tem-se o comparativo do custo por quilômetro rodado de veículos próprios em relação a terceirizados, procurando evitar gastos extraorçamentários. A pesquisa se classifica como exploratória com abordagem quantitativa, elaborada por meio de análise documental e também estudo de caso da Prefeitura analisada. Concluiu-se que o transporte próprio é economicamente mais viável que o terceirizado.
What Happens When Investigating A Crime Takes Up Too Much Time? An Examination of How Optimal Law Enforcement Theory Impacts Sentencing

Published: November 2017

Previous research finds that variations in sentencing outcomes still exist among similarly situated individuals, especially among drug offenders. While courtroom actors are often the focus of sentencing disparities, law enforcement officers are rarely studied. This is problematic because criminological research has yet to explore whether law enforcement could influence sentencing decisions. The current study aims to discover the influence of a previously ignored legal variable, investigation workload, on sentence length and directly examine an untested criminal justice theory, Optimal Law Enforcement Theory. This study will explore these overlooked concepts with a rare dataset that contains information on individuals convicted of prescription drug trafficking in Florida from 2011-2013. We find that investigation workload does influence sentencing, with offenders convicted from a high police workload being significantly more likely to experience longer sentences than offenders convicted from a low investigation workload. Limitations and policy implications are also discussed.
Effect of Sonication on the Elution of Antibiotics from Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA)

Abstract. Background: In the setting of prosthetic joint infections treated with a two-stage procedure, spacers can be sonicated after removal. We hypothesize that the sonication process may cause an increased elution of antibiotics from the spacer, leading to elevated concentrations of antibiotics in the sonication fluid inhibiting bacterial growth. We aimed to evaluate in vitro the influence of sonication on the elution of antibiotics from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) over time and to determine whether these concentrations are above the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for microorganisms relevant in prosthetic joint infections.Methods: PMMA blocks impregnated with vancomycin, fosfomycin, gentamicin or daptomycin were incubated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 37°C for up to 6 weeks. PBS was changed once a week. Concentrations were determined from samples of each antibiotic every week, and after 5 minutes of sonication at 2, 4 and 6 weeks.Results: With sonication there was a trend toward an increase of the elution of antibiotics. This increase was significant for vancomycin at 2 and 4 weeks (p=0.008 and 0.002 respectively) and for fosfomycin at 2 weeks (p=0.01).Conclusion: The effect of sonication could play a role in clinical results, especially for daptomycin and gentamicin for which the MIC is close to the concentration of antibiotics at 4 and 6 weeks.We conclude that elution of antibiotics from PMMA along with the effect of sonication could inhibit bacterial growth from spacers, resulting in false negative results in the setting of two-stage exchange procedures for prosthetic joint infections.
PROJETO “DEFESA CIVIL NA ESCOLA”: UMA AVALIAÇÃO DESTA AÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL PARA GESTÃO DE RISCOS DE DESASTRES NATURAIS EM BLUMENAU/SC

O projeto “Defesa Civil na Escola” (DCE), realizado pela defesa civil de Blumenau desde 2013, envolve anualmente estudantes do ensino fundamental de 10 escolas públicas e privadas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o conhecimento construído pelo projeto DCE de Blumenau a partir do uso de ferramentas de ensino e aprendizagem. Esta pesquisa é do tipo exploratória e descritiva, de caráter quali-quantitativo. As técnicas de pesquisa utilizadas foram documentação indireta e direta. Os resultados demonstram que: (1) dentre as várias experiências de Educação Ambiental (EA) para gestão de riscos de desastres (GRD) no Brasil, poucas possuem a aplicação e descrevem as ferramentas de avaliação do processo de ensino e aprendizagem; (2) o projeto DCE realizado em Blumenau contempla três encontros presenciais em cada escola, com base principalmente na dimensão conceitual e atitudinal, sendo os aspectos procedimentais pouco desenvolvidos; (3) a ferramenta de avaliação utilizada até o momento tem sido a produção de desenhos por parte dos estudantes. Sugere-se, portanto, adotar novas estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem que incluam outras ferramentas de avaliação e que possibilitem trabalhar com maior ênfase a dimensão procedimental.

This work aimed to evaluate the biogas production potential of swine manure (SM) under different temperatures through the use of experimental biodigesters (EB), investigating the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of the process. The experiment consisted of three treatments a) with solid fraction separation (WSSF), b) without solid fraction separation (W-SSF) and c) solid fraction only (OSF).  The assays were performed in triplicate and submitted  to room temperature (RT) (13.36 to 23.71° C) and to controlled temperature (30.00ºC), during 28 days. The average biogas production in the EB was 390.41 ml (WSSF), 390.53 ml (W-SSF) and 400.53 ml (OSF), at RT and 393.00 ml (WSSF), 393.00 ml (W-SSF) and 390.67 ml (OSF) at 30.00ºC. The results showed that significant differences occurred in the biogas production due to the different treatments and temperatures. The highest average reduction of parameters as a function of treatment and temperature was 53.22% for total solids in WSSF (30°C), 10.73% for nitrogen in W-SSF (RT), 27.50% for phosphorus in the WSSF (TA), 63.55% for the COD in the W-SSF (TA), 99,10% for the total coliforms in the W-SSF (TA) and 99.59% for the thermotolerant coliforms in the WSSF (30°C).

Published: November 2017

The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasonic, microwave, and heat extraction techniques on the blueberry pomace extract characteristics. The results showed that the highest extraction yield of anthocyanins and total phenols were obtained by high hydrostatic pressure assisted extraction. The difference of extraction yield of anthocyanins was significant (p<0.05) between high hydrostatic pressure assisted extraction and heating extraction. Furthermore, significant difference of total phenols extraction yield was obtained between high hydrostatic pressure assisted extraction and the other three extraction methods. The total color difference was significant for the four extraction methods. High hydrostatic pressure assisted extraction had the highest chroma and least browning index. Moreover, high hydrostatic pressure assisted extraction was found to have the highest hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. In summary, high hydrostatic pressure assisted extraction was revealed to be the suitable technique for phenolic extraction of blueberry pomace.
