Seleuș farm SC Moragroind SRL cultivated several varieties of hops, modern varieties, productive, with German origin, such as Magnum, Merkur and Perle. Since Romanian hops growers complained about mismatch problems of these varieties recently imported, we have tried to highlight the differences in the environment, especially in the climatic atmospheric temperature and precipitation between the two areas of growing hops: Sighisoara (Romania) and HÃ¼ll - Hallertau (Bavaria - Germany). Annual average, per 19 years (1964-1982), from the region atmospheric temperatures Seleuș MS (recorded at weather station at DumbrÄƒveni) is 8.3 Âº C. Absolute minimum of -29.2 Â° C was recorded here on 13/01/1969. Historical maximum average of atmospheric temperature at this station was registered in 25th of August, 2012, ie 39.6 Âº C (in the shade). Global warming was felt very strongly, especially in the last two years (2011 and 2012, in 2012 was recorded, in fact, historical maximum air temperature), and in the area of hop Sighișoara. Against climatic parameters at the Hop Research Station in HÃ¼ll, Germany, we found positive differences (not favorable) in the atmospheric temperatures, especially in the months of May to August, with adverse effects on vegetation and training hops production.

Authors: GONCEARIUC Maria , BALMUŞ Zinaida , COTELEA Ludmila
Published: December 2024

It has been demonstrated that the use of fixed heterosis is an effective genetic basis in breeding of the Salvia sclarea species. The phenotype of inbred lines derived from the varieties by hybrid origin with fixed heterosis Ambra Plus and Nataly Clary was varied and genetic segregation was expressed in the diversity of quantitative traits such as plant height, inflorescence length and their structure, essential oil content. Along with the inbred lines S3 generations in which the content of essential oil is lower than that in the varieties they originate from, lines have been produced with high (1.001-1.350%) and very high (1.351-1.600%) content, the latter ones making 20% of the lines derived from the variety Ambra Plus and 11% of the total number of the lines derived from Nataly Clary.Inbreeding results in phenologic changes: the S2- S3 inbred lines fall into three groups of maturation; early-middle- and late-ripening that constitute 24, 48, and 28% respectively, in the lines derived from Ambra Plus and 33% in each group of the lines derived from Nataly Clary. The inbred lines with high and very high content of essential oil are valuable genotypes in view of the improvement of raw material quality and the increase of the productivity of new varieties of Salvia sclarea.

This pathology was first described in 1934 by the Norwegian doctor Asbjorn Fölling, at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Oslo. PKU belongs to the group of hyperphenylalaninemias (HPA), a group that includes the causes that increase the concentration of plasma phenylalanine. The most common cause of HPA is phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency which causes excessive accumulation of phenylalanine in the bloodstream, affecting the central nervous system. Prevention of complications caused by PKU is the main goal at the time of diagnosis. The therapeutic intervention is sustained throughoutlife, this being made up of a diet aimed at limiting the intake of phenylalanine (Cruz et. al., 2002). Several studies have shown a decrease in antioxidant capacity in patients with PKU. Almonds (Prunus dulcis) are an important source of vitamin E (α-tocopherol), a fat-soluble vitamin with an antioxidant role. Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) are among the richest sources of selenium. The literature describes low selenium levels in patients with PKU. The extraction of α tocopherol and selenium from almond seeds and brazil nuts could contribute to the development of a dietary supplement with antioxidant potential, so that the nutritional status of patients with PKU.

Authors: Rocha Moisés dos Santos , Milani Ana Maria Rita , Santos Anderson Moreira Aristides dos
Published: December 2024

Abstract This paper aims to examine the impact of measures of socioeconomic inequalities on the quality of participatory political institutions. The study uses the generalized method of moments as the main econometric method, analyzing a sample of 160 countries from 1960 to 2018. The results reveal that the infant mortality rate is negatively and significantly associated with the quality of participatory political institutions across multiple estimations, including robustness tests. The study's main contribution to the literature is the use of indicators of broad inequality, such as the infant mortality rate, to explain the quality of participatory political institutions, which has been neglected in previous research on the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the distribution of political power.
Seis por meia dúzia? Análise das similaridades entre as normas de inovação dos Estados brasileiros
Authors: Medeiros Hugo , Costa Fabiana
Published: December 2024

RESUMO Introdução: Na área de difusão de políticas públicas, existem lacunas tanto na utilização de dados massivos quanto na estimativa do quão similares as políticas são. Tomando como base as normas de inovação no nível subnacional brasileiro, propomos e aplicamos um modelo de análise de similaridade das políticas de inovação a partir do reuso de texto entre leis e leis complementares que instituem marcos regulatórios estaduais de inovação ou que regulamentam a legislação federal de inovação no nível estadual. Materiais e métodos: A análise seguiu cinco etapas principais: 1) coleta e tratamento das leis e leis complementares que regulam as políticas de inovação nos Estados; 2) análise das trajetórias de adoção em relação à publicação da primeira lei federal em 2004 e sua atualização em 2016; 3) comparação formal dos documentos, focando na extensão dos textos e nas palavras mais frequentes; 4) uso de um modelo “bag of words” com distância do cosseno para detectar automaticamente o reuso de texto; 5) testes de hipótese para comparar a similaridade entre os 26 Estados, o Distrito Federal e o governo federal. Resultados: Observou-se que: a) as normas foram adotadas em duas fases, correspondentes às publicações da legislação federal em 2004 e 2016; b) as políticas são bastante similares, com alto grau de reutilização de texto, resultando em legislações com estruturas e conteúdos muito parecidos; c) embora as fases sigam as publicações das normas federais, as leis dos Estados de uma mesma região tendem a ser mais semelhantes entre si do que em relação à legislação federal. Discussão: Isso indica que o reuso de texto é uma ferramenta eficaz para analisar a similaridade entre políticas e destaca que, em contextos de federalismo com baixa coerção, a difusão de políticas públicas tende a ocorrer em ondas, ligadas a eventos específicos, como novas legislações federais. No entanto, essa difusão ocorre de forma horizontal e por proximidade regional, com legisladores estaduais incorporando dispositivos de leis de unidades vizinhas, indicando a presença de mecanismos de emulação e competição entre eles.
Securitization theory and its empirical application: a literature review
Authors: Silva Caroline Cordeiro Viana , Pereira Alexsandro Eugenio
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Introduction: Securitization theory posits that securitization happens when actors frame political agenda issues as existential threats through their discourse, prompting states to take action in response. This article explores the challenges in the empirical application of the Copenhagen School's securitization theory in International Relations research. Materials and methods: We conducted a systematic review of articles published in journals indexed in the Scopus database with an impact factor in the first quartile. Initially, we selected 260 articles that mentioned the term “securitization/securitisation” in their titles, abstracts, or keywords. After excluding those lacking an empirical application of securitization theory, 184 articles remained. We then carried out a content analysis of the logical structure of these articles' arguments, categorizing how each one applied the concept of securitization according to the stages of the process (non-politicized, politicized, securitized, securitizing actor) and its variables. Results: Out of the 184 articles, 110 set out to apply securitization theory, but only 11 successfully did so in a way that clearly confirmed securitization. These 11 studies showed how topics were securitized by following the stages outlined in the original theoretical framework. Discussion: The challenges in empirically applying securitization theory arise from two main factors: the researchers themselves and the theory itself. Many articles faced methodological hurdles and lacked rigor in operationalizing the theoretical elements required to confirm the securitization of a topic, revealing limitations among the researchers. Additionally, the theory demands a high level of empirical evidence, which makes its application more difficult. This indicates a need to revisit the theory and consider integrating models that facilitate empirical studies on securitization.

Published: December 2024

RESUMO Introdução: O conceito de “capacidade estatal” tem sido amplamente debatido, mas ainda existem lacunas na compreensão de como essas capacidades são mobilizadas e ativadas na prática. Este artigo analisa como a capacidade estatal é mobilizada em contextos que exigem conciliar eficácia governamental e legitimidade política em ambientes político-institucionais complexos. Materiais e métodos: Propomos uma análise dos arranjos de implementação e da ativação de capacidades estatais, utilizando uma revisão bibliográfica e exemplos empíricos. A análise descreve os atores envolvidos, recursos mobilizados e instrumentos utilizados, destacando as mudanças ao longo do tempo. Resultados: Arranjos de implementação são fundamentais para a ativação das capacidades estatais, pois a interação entre atores e instrumentos determina a eficácia das políticas públicas. Arranjos que incluem atores relevantes e instrumentos de coordenação adequados ativam capacidades que melhoram o desempenho em termos de resultados e inovação. Discussão: A capacidade estatal por si só não garante o sucesso das políticas públicas; é preciso ativá-la por meio de arranjos que articulem atores e instrumentos, adaptando-se às condições contextuais ao longo do tempo. A flexibilidade desses arranjos é crucial para enfrentar a complexidade política e institucional do Brasil contemporâneo.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the physiological aspects involved in pre-absorptive thirst satiety based on advances in neurophysiology and their applicability to healthcare. Method: this is a reflective study that compiles physiological phenomena related to the form of satiety, describing the neurophysiological pathway for pre-absorptive thirst satiety. Results: the anticipatory mechanisms involved in thirst inhibition are related to thermoreceptors, osmoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, gastric and cognitive mechanisms. The use of cold temperature is key to pre-absorptive satiety, as its stimuli are transmitted to the cortical and limbic regions, providing a sensation of pleasantness, gratification and pleasure. In this way, individuals reach pre-absorptive thirst satiety in a few minutes. Conclusion: liquid or solid contents at a cold temperature help to achieve pre-absorptive thirst satiety, as they activate mechanisms that anticipate intake inhibition. This innovative path should be used intentionally for patients who experience prolonged water restriction, as they do not depend on the absorption of liquids by the gastrointestinal tract.

Método: estudo reflexivo, que compila os fenômenos fisiológicos relacionados a forma de saciar, descrevendo o caminho neurofisiológico para a Saciedade Pré-absortiva da sede Resultados: Os mecanismos antecipatórios envolvidos para inibição da sede relacionam-se com termorreceptores, osmorreceptores, mecanorreceptores, mecanismos gástricos e cognitivos. A utilização da temperatura fria é a chave para a saciedade pré-absortiva, pois seus estímulos são transmitidos às regiões corticais e límbicas conferindo sensação de agradabilidade, gratificação e prazer. Dessa forma, o indivíduo alcança a saciedade pré-absortiva da sede em poucos minutos. Conclusão: Conteúdos líquidos ou sólidos em temperatura fria auxiliam no alcance da saciedade pré-absortiva da sede, pois ativam mecanismos que antecipam a inibição da ingestão. Este caminho inovador deve ser utilizado com intencionalidade para pacientes que experienciam a restrição hídrica por tempo prolongado, pois independem da absorção de líquidos pelo trato gastrintestinal.
Embracing Fallibility in Quantitative Research: Thoughts and Remarks on Exploratory Factor Analysis and beyond
Authors: Gabriel Marcelo Luiz Dias da Silva , Hair Jr. Joseph F. , Silva Dirceu da , Braga Jr. Sérgio Silva
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: errors are inevitable in the scholarly pursuit of truth, yet they are often seen as flaws rather than growth opportunities. This paper examines the tension between scholars’ inherent fallibility and rigorous academic research standards, particularly concerning quantitative methods such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The focus is on whether the academic community effectively balances the acceptance of errors as part of the learning process, with the relentless pursuit of truth and how this balance influences the advancement of knowledge within the context of evolving statistical tools needed to improve our understanding of complex global relationships. Provocations: if errors are fundamental to scientific progress, why does the academic community approach them with apprehension? This fear of mistakes may inhibit innovation, especially in fields such as quantitative methods research, where the stakes are high. Another question is whether the accessibility of user-friendly statistical software has led to a superficial understanding of complex methodologies, prioritizing convenience over depth. Conclusions: we advocate for a shift in how the academic community perceives errors toward viewing them as essential to the research process rather than as fatal flaws. Embracing a humble approach to pointing out mistakes and limitations, particularly with quantitative methods such as EFA and SEM, can create a more innovative and progressive research environment. We call for a cultural shift where constructive critiques are balanced with understanding our collective fallibility, with the ultimate goal of producing more impactful scholarship.

Teve na categorização da análise documental dos documentos midiáticos, composta por relatórios nacionais do Pisa e por gêneros textuais jornalísticos, a delimitação das unidades conceituais inventariadas a partir da leitura dos documentos arrolados. A análise dos documentos permitiu localizar 57 ações da gestão educacional nacional, entre a década de 1990 e o ano de 2001.
As avaliações externas e em larga escala na formação inicial de professores no Brasil: que espaço elas ocupam?

Published: December 2024

RESUMO As avaliações externas e em larga escala estão muito presentes na educação brasileira e, por razões diversas, têm gerado um grande debate entre aqueles que a idolatram e os que a “demonizam”, havendo uma disputa acirrada pelo controle de narrativas. Esses elementos, portanto, não deveriam ser subtraídos dos cursos de licenciatura onde ocorre a formação inicial de professores. Nesse cenário, este estudo investigou o espaço ocupado pelas avaliações externas e em larga escala, nacionais, como o Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (SAEB), e internacionais, como o Programa Internacional de Avaliação de aluno (PISA), em cursos de licenciatura localizados em diferentes regiões brasileiras. Analisamos os conteúdos trabalhados, na disciplina de avaliação, e discutidos nesses cursos, assim como os possíveis discursos produzidos. Metodologicamente, optamos pela abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa cujas interpretações incidiram sobre ementas e planos de ensino dos cursos investigados, com base na análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que são escassos, na formação do futuro professor, os conteúdos das avaliações externas, especialmente, elementos daquelas de origem internacional. Tal escassez tende a subtrair dos futuros docentes a compreensão de aspectos técnicos e ideológicos essenciais que fazem parte do panorama cotidiano das escolas de educação básica. Ademais, tal carência pode resultar em professores despolitizados, incapazes de compreender as dinâmicas das avaliações, e suscetíveis a discursos mistificadores circulantes.

RESUMO O Programa de Avaliação Internacional de Estudantes (PISA) é um exame padronizado realizado a cada três anos pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), com o objetivo de mensurar o nível educacional de jovens de 15 anos em Leitura, Matemática e Ciência. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar quais são e com que frequência os docentes utilizam métodos de avaliação da aprendizagem de seus alunos para além do PISA. Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa de natureza mista que utiliza as respostas dos professores de cinco países da América Latina (Brasil, Chile, Panamá, Peru e República Dominicana) que responderam ao questionário contextual do PISA de 2018. Os resultados permitiram organizar as discussões a partir de três categorias de análises que se alinham com os métodos de avaliação para aprendizagem, concentrando-se nas dimensões: a) heteroavaliação; b) autoavaliação; e c) retroalimentação. Predominantemente, a heteroavaliação foi a abordagem central, refletindo uma tradicional ênfase no papel ativo do professor avaliador. A ausência de coavaliação e avaliação compartilhada destaca uma lacuna nas práticas avaliativas, indicando a necessidade de promover avaliações mais colaborativas e entre pares. Conclui que esses resultados devem ser interpretados considerando as diferenças contextuais e políticas locais, revelando a complexidade das práticas avaliativas e indicando a importância de adotar métodos abrangentes e colaborativos para aprimorar ambientes educacionais mais inclusivos e preocupados com os processos de aprendizagem dos estudantes da educação básica.

RESUMO Este artigo tem por finalidade analisar as orientações do Banco Mundial para reprodução do capital humano na América Latina e no Caribe, no que diz respeito às dimensões educacionais de aprendizagem e de avaliação no contexto da crise sanitária da pandemia da covid-19, respondendo à seguinte problemática: Como se configuram as orientações Banco Mundial para a América Latina e o Caribe quanto ao seu projeto de capital humano, no que se refere às dimensões educacionais de aprendizagem e de avaliação no período da crise sanitária da pandemia da covid-19? Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, com foco nos documentos do Banco Mundial, no período de 2020 a 2023, e de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, em que se buscou a interlocução com os excertos que abordam as categorias de capital humano, de aprendizagem e de avaliação educacional. Como resultado do estudo, confirma-se que o Projeto de Capital Humano do Banco Mundial está inserido no contexto das reformas econômicas e políticas neoliberais, sob o argumento de promoção do crescimento econômico, do desenvolvimento sustentável e inclusivo, de redução das taxas de pobreza e de aprendizagem, o que torna central as dimensões educacionais de aprendizagem e de avaliação para a formação e a preservação de capital humano, assim como para mensuração dos impactos da pandemia da covid-19 na formação desse capital humano.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to understand the concepts of quality, assessment and learning contained in guidelines from the World Bank (WB), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), which led Latin American countries to adhere to the Education for All (EFA) project proposal from 1996 to 2019, favoring the direct influence of these organizations in the formulation, planning, execution and assessment of educational policies. The methodology consisted of analytical research, focusing on the policy cycle of Bowe, Ball and Gold (1992), in the context of the production of texts, as a reference for the implementation of educational policies. This work is part of research that is being carried out in a network, to understand the Latin American scenario, taking as a guiding principle the proposition of organizing collective knowledge in this area. The results point to the direct influence of multilateral organizations on the guidelines and decisions of educational policies in Brazil and Latin America, based on the adherence to the EFA proposal, receiving approval, treaties and financial investments, with a strong assessment of results and rankings of a quality defined as a basis for anchoring the capitalist development of production, whose concepts of quality, assessment and learning respond to the objectives of market-oriented education.
Large-scale assessments in Latin America: Problematizing the quality of school education

ABSTRACT This article aims to characterize the large-scale assessments implemented in Latin America, of which Brazil is a participant, problematizing the quality that such assessment tools inflict on school education. This is a documentary research based on information available on the website of the National Institute of Studies and Educational Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP). The following assessments are described and analyzed: Comparative and Explanatory Regional Study (ERCE); Progress in Reading International Study (PIRLS); Program for International Student Assessment (PISA); and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). We conclude that the quality of school education is central to these assessments, generally translated into scores obtained by students’ performance on standardized tests, forming a notion of quality almost exclusively associated with the results of school learning, even though contextual questionnaires accompany these assessments. Furthermore, the characterization of large-scale assessment initiatives present in Latin America reveals the increasingly robust interest of international organizations in creating instruments capable of measuring student learning, enabling the comparison of the quality of school education between and within educational systems.
Large-scale assessment and establishment of educational goals and indicators: uses and abuses of quantophrenia
Authors: Bauer Adriana
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT This article seeks to problematize the emphasis given by Brazilian municipalities to quantitative aspects of student performance, measured by large-scale assessments, instead of the discussion about the learning process and the pedagogical meaning of data and the production of process indicators associated (or not) to achievement of learning goals. For this, it showed the consolidation and expansion of the large-scale tests, with national and international examples, to focus on initiatives developed in Brazil at the district level, The conclusions highlight the need to retake the technical debate, along with political considerations, on the use of assessment results and educational indicators for the proposal of public policies directed to schools.

Published: December 2024

RESUMO A avaliação como práxis e condição humana foi instalada no evento educativo. Isso permeia: ações, processos, currículos, programas, saberes, disciplinas e instituições, a tal ponto que qualquer ação educativa (pedagógica, formativa) que não seja acompanhada por diversas formas avaliativas parece inimaginável. A prática pedagógica, instalada com a relevância que atualmente a caracteriza, como área de formação, não escapa à ação avaliativa. Este exercício trata da análise do que realmente se diz sobre a avaliação das práticas pedagógicas em algumas instituições de ensino superior (públicas) do nosso país, nomeadamente em alguns dos seus programas acadêmicos destinados à formação de licenciados em diversas áreas do conhecimento. A pesquisa, documental, analítica e descritiva, contém conceituações e caracterizações; sentidos, teleologias e intenções; critério; cenários e assuntos; procedimentos e instrumentos; sistemas de avaliação, etc., que entram em jogo nesta ação de avaliação de práticas pedagógicas institucionalizadas.
Las políticas de evaluación en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires: experiencias y desarrollo institucional durante las últimas décadas
Authors: Rodrigo Lucrecia
Published: December 2024

RESUMEN En este artículo se analizan las políticas públicas destinadas a la evaluación del sistema educativo en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Se focaliza en el proceso de creación del actual dispositivo de evaluación y en la consolidación del rol supervisor del Ministerio de Educación porteño. Se abordan los antecedentes históricos de estas iniciativas y su articulación con las medidas y programas implementados a escala nacional. También se destaca la adopción generalizada y sistemática de programas de desempeño centrados en la medición de resultados, considerados como mecanismos privilegiados para la generación de información en la gestión, y por lo tanto, para la regulación de los procesos pedagógicos. Orientadas por los principios del accountability, estas últimas iniciativas han adquirido centralidad y especificidad dentro de un escenario local más amplio de modernización y optimización de las estructuras burocráticas de gobierno. La investigación combina entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis documental.
