Remodelling baby clinics: Opportunities to support parent–baby relationships
Authors: James Jessica , Rosan Camilla
Published: August 2019

This article examines how the ‘weigh in’ can be a ‘way in’ to joined-up physical and mental healthcare in baby clinic settings. Instead of a group of parents and babies in a waiting room environment, clinics are remodelled into interactive, playful group community hubs. Pilot projects have taken place and offer evaluation results and practical methods. Professionals work together using their observational skills as a basis for engaging directly with babies and parents, bringing social and emotional development to the fore.

Beyond the Information Age and into the New Decision Age
Authors: Mu Enrique
Published: August 2019

Beyond the Information Age was the theme of the MCDM 2019 meeting in Istanbul this past June. What does the theme mean? While the MCDM organizers did not reach an agreement on what is next, the fact that they chose Beyond the Information Age as a theme for the most important conference on decision-making is quite telling. I think the message is that now that we have large amounts of information and easy communication available, the so-called information and communication technology (ICT), the next step is to be able to use this capability for effective decision-making.

IMAGENS PRESENTES NAS QUESTÕES DE LÍNGUA ESPANHOLA NO EXAME NACIONAL DO ENSINO MÉDIO (ENEM)
Authors: Silva Denise Pereira da
Published: August 2019

Este trabalho tem como tema o estudo do uso de imagens nas avaliações de língua espanhola no exame nacional do ensino médio (ENEM), tendo o mesmo nascido no âmbito tanto da sala de aula da graduação em Letras, como nas salas do ensino médio, pois percebendo o constante uso de imagens nas avaliações, tais grupos se questionavam como melhorar suas performances, enquanto docente, preparando seu alunado, ou candidato, avaliado pelo exame. Diante deste panorama, e visando contribuir para uma melhor qualificação dos graduandos e dos futuros universitários, embarcamos no universo das imagens, buscando entender o conceito de imagem, identificar qual método seria mais adequado ao tipo de enfoque dado pela avaliação nas questão com imagem, para tanto tomamos como base os exames do Enem de 2010 à 2016. Objetivando entender toda a engrenagem desta prova, buscamos investigar leis, diretrizes, e a história do ensino do espanhol no Brasil, bem como alguns métodos de análise e interpretação de imagem, optando pelo iconológico de Panofsky por entender ser o mesmo mais adequado ao tipo de exame que propõe o Enem, pois além de sua aplicabilidade na elaboração de questões avaliativas, possibilita também ao examinador calibrar o grau de aprofundamento de análise das questões.

Authors: Ferreira Ríudo De Paiva , Werneck Hugo De Azevedo , Malta Juliana , Teixeira Aparecida Das Dores , Campos Lucio Antonio de Oliveira , Serrão José Eduardo
Published: August 2019

The male accessory glands of stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are absent and the morphology of their seminal vesicle indicate probable secretory function by this organ. This study investigated the post-embryonic development of the seminal vesicles in males of the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata by histology and histochemistry. White-eyed pupae, pink-eyed pupae, brown-eyed pupae, black-eyed pupae, newly emerged and sexually mature males were studied. Seminal vesicle has a wall with a single layered epithelium onto a thin basement membrane, followed by a well-developed muscle layer. The epithelium is polarized in the pupal stage with basal cell region strongly positive for glucoconjugates and carbohydrates. The seminal vesicle has an enlarged lumen from the young pupal stages with luminal content increasing gradually with glucoconjugates along the pupal development. In the newly emerged and mature males, the histochemical tests to carbohydrates were negative. In the sexually mature males, spermatozoa clusters are embedded by the glucoconjugates content of the seminal vesicle lumen. In conclusion, the seminal vesicle of M. quadrifasciata has a secretory function during the pupal stage and in newly emerged males, whereas in adult males this organ stores the spermatozoa..
Geographic Spread of Solenopsis globularia (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
Authors: Wetterer James Kelly
Published: August 2019

Several species of Solenopsis have spread beyond their native ranges and have become exotic pests, most notably Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) and Solenopsis invicta Buren. Here, I examine the geographic spread of a smaller, less conspicuous Solenopsis species, Solenopsis globularia (Smith). I compiled S. globularia specimen records from >700 sites. I documented the earliest known S. globularia records for 59 geographic areas (countries, US states, and major West Indian islands), including many for which I found no previously published records: Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Barbuda, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Congo, Curaçao, Dominica, Martinique, Montserrat, Nevis, St Kitts, St Martin, San Andrés Island, Senegal, Tobago, and Trinidad. Solenopsis globularia has a broad distribution in the New World, from Corrientes, Argentina (28.4°S) in the south to Craven County, North Carolina (35.1°N) in the north. Most S. globularia records came from islands. It is unclear whether S. globularia is native throughout its New World range. For example, it is possible that this species is exotic to the Galapagos Islands. All populations of S. globularia outside the New World are probably exotic, introduced through human commerce, including populations on Atlantic islands (Ascension, Cabo Verde, St Helena), Pacific islands (Hawaii, French Polynesia, Philippines), and Africa (Congo, Ivory Coast, Senegal). On the Cabo Verde islands, off the coast of West Africa, S. globularia is extremely widespread on all nine inhabited islands. Records from nine diverse sites in Ivory Coast indicates that S. globularia is well able to spread in continental Africa as well.
Legacy, legitimacy and compromise: Baghdad’s visionary Yusuf Al-Ani and postcolonial Iraq
Authors: Ismael Tareq
Published: August 2019

Yusuf al-Ani’s influence on the development of popular theatre and his desire to convey his art through a deliberative expression of contemporary popular understandings of how Iraqis saw themselves are explored. Insights into some of his interactions with other artists and the social milieu of the period prior to the overthrow of the monarchy are established as a way of exploring the social context in which al-Ani worked. Reflections on the devastation of Iraq’s civil society broadly – and its intellectuals in particular – emerge from al-Ani’s insights into the social and political demise of the Iraqi state and its comparison with the overthrow of the monarchy. Al-Ani’s impact is referenced through direct contemporaneous accounts and multiple formal interviews from 1986, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
Staging women’s implicit dissidence in Yusuf Al-Ani’s The Silk Thread
Authors: Abdelhameed Hadeel
Published: August 2019

This article presents an overview of the intellectual atmosphere that shaped the Iraqi theatre during the Iraq–Iran war (1980–88). It focuses on Yusuf al-Ani’s 1986 play لبريسم خيط Khayt al-Breesam (‘The silk thread’) to show how Iraqi theatre-makers struggled under the totalitarianism of the former Ba’athist regime to present, although indirectly and oftentimes through the theatrical representation of female characters, their anti-war views. This article examines the play as an example of (1): deliberate disassociation from the dominant war narrative of the period and (2): Iraqi dramatists’ tacit representation of dissident Iraqi women.
A produção de indicadores para promoção de políticas culturais em universidades públicas
Authors: Satuf Ivan
Published: August 2019

Este artigo apresenta a metodologia utilizada pela Universidade Federal do Cariri (UFCA) na produção de indicadores sobre hábitos e consumos culturais de estudantes de graduação. O objetivo é debater potencialidades e limitações de métodos quantitativos para estabelecer políticas culturais em instituições de ensino superior, sobretudo em universidades públicas, onde a diversidade e a pluralidade são princípios basilares. Para fundamentar a discussão, o texto apresenta uma breve análise empírica a partir de uma amostra de 790 estudantes de graduação de três unidades acadêmicas da UFCA. Os resultados ajudam a demonstrar a importância dos indicadores na promoção de políticas para a área da cultura, mas também destacam a necessidade de associar métodos qualitativos ao percurso metodológico para superar as lacunas deixadas por instrumentais exclusivamente estatísticos.

"Eu ia só pra me distrair"
Authors: Costa Patricia Claudia
Published: August 2019

Este artigo expõe os resultados de um estudo longitudinal sobre a situação de letramento de mulheres idosas que frequentaram um núcleo de alfabetização do Movimento de Alfabetização de Jovens e Adultos (MOVA) de Guarulhos, durante períodos que variaram entre 7 e 13 anos. Tal estudo realizou-se em duas etapas por meio da metodologia de autobiografia educativa e de testes de leitura e escrita, tendo como objetivo primário desvelar os avanços e retrocessos no letramento e nas conquistas da oralidade. Com base nesse desvelamento, o objetivo secundário é problematizar a função social e a eficácia do Movimento frequentado pelos sujeitos. A hipótese principal, parcialmente confirmada, era a de que não houve continuidade da escolarização e que a situação de letramento atual seria mais precária do que a verificada na primeira etapa do estudo. Assim, conclui-se que as razões de existência do MOVA-Guarulhos e de permanência das alfabetizandas nele eram ambíguas: por um lado, promoção da alfabetização; por outro, a necessidade de convivência.
Celtic Heroines: The Contributions of Women Scholars to Arthurian Studies in the Celtic Languages
Authors: Kapphahn Krista
Published: August 2019

This article surveys some of the main contributions of female scholars to the study of Arthurian literature in the Celtic languages from the nineteenth century to the present day. Scholarship by women has been integral to the study of Celtic Arthurian literature since the translations of native Welsh texts by Lady Charlotte Guest. Since then, women’s contributions have been foundational to the field, influencing theories of transmission, analysis and the standard editions of much Arthurian material in Welsh, Irish, Gaelic and Breton. They remain vital to the life of Arthurian scholarship, and the final section addresses contributions by younger scholars whose lasting influence remains to be seen.
Thanks for Typing: Women’s Roles in Editions and Translations of Arthurian Literature in Penguin Classics, 1959–1985
Authors: Lyons Rebecca E.
Published: August 2019

Based on documentary research undertaken in the Penguin Archive in the University of Bristol’s Special Collections, this article highlights various ways in which women’s often invisible labour contributed to the publication of editions and translations of medieval and early modern Arthurian literature in the mid- to late-twentieth century. The discussion includes a range of roles and individuals involved in bringing Arthurian literature to publication, including the academics commissioned to undertake translations, the editors and administrators in Penguin’s employ, as well as secretaries, wives, readers and other figures operating outside of Penguin. The article attempts a recuperation of the women’s labour involved in bringing Arthurian literature to the masses, and celebrates their part in the establishment and perpetuation of Arthurian Studies as a discipline.
Tissue-Specific Transcriptomes Reveal Gene Expression Trajectories in Two Maturing Skin Epithelial Layers in Zebrafish Embryos
Authors: Cokus Shawn J , De La Torre Maricruz , Medina Eric F , Rasmussen Jeffrey P , Ramirez-Gutierrez Joselyn , Sagasti Alvaro , Wang Fang
Published: August 2019

Epithelial cells are the building blocks of many organs, including skin. The vertebrate skin initially consists of two epithelial layers, the outer periderm and inner basal cell layers, which have distinct properties, functions, and fates. The embryonic periderm ultimately disappears during development, whereas basal cells proliferate to form the mature, stratified epidermis. Although much is known about mechanisms of homeostasis in mature skin, relatively little is known about the two cell types in pre-stratification skin. To define the similarities and distinctions between periderm and basal skin epithelial cells, we purified them from zebrafish at early development stages and deeply profiled their gene expression. These analyses identified groups of genes whose tissue enrichment changed at each stage, defining gene flow dynamics of maturing vertebrate epithelia. At each of 52 and 72 hr post-fertilization (hpf), more than 60% of genes enriched in skin cells were similarly expressed in both layers, indicating that they were common epithelial genes, but many others were enriched in one layer or the other. Both expected and novel genes were enriched in periderm and basal cell layers. Genes encoding extracellular matrix, junctional, cytoskeletal, and signaling proteins were prominent among those distinguishing the two epithelial cell types. In situ hybridization and BAC transgenes confirmed our expression data and provided new tools to study zebrafish skin. Collectively, these data provide a resource for studying common and distinguishing features of maturing epithelia.

La educación ambiental: ¿uno de los medios para evitar los desastres de origen antrópico?
Authors: Jengich Buck Alexa
Published: August 2019

Este artículo busca reflexionar sobre el impacto que tiene la presencia del ser humano en su medio ambiente, lo que ocasiona con frecuencia desastres catalogados como de origen antrópico.

Además, se parte de la urgencia de revisar algunos aspectos que interfieren con la educación ambiental y que ponen en riesgo la sobrevivencia de una generación joven que ya nació.

En consecuencia, interesa enfocar el problema desde el punto de vista epistemológico, analizando el asunto desde la óptica de aquellos pensamientos que mantienen y hacen difícil un cambio de la educación ambiental, hacia el manejo preventivo de las amenazas para el bienestar de toda la población. Se utiliza brevemente el ejemplo del manejo del recurso hídrico, para plantear parte de la dinámica de los desastres de origen antrópico.
Propuesta metodológica para fomentar la igualdad de género en el aula escolar
Authors: Solís Pérez Yisenia
Published: August 2019

Este trabajo se denomina propuesta metodológica para fortalecer la Igualdad de Género en el Aula Escolar, con niños y niñas de la escuela primaria. Como educadora, he querido aportar a través de mis experiencias vividas, algunas estrategias que permitan fomentar en las y los etudiantes una educación más justa e igualitaria.

Conocedora, de las diferentes prácticas sexistas y estereotipos altamente arraigados en nuestra sociedad, los cuales obstaculizan que algunas mujeres logren desenvolverse según sus propias capacidades y potencialidades, limitándolas a cumplir con el papel que la sociedad les asigna según su sexo, deseo aportar una propuesta para que las y los estudiantes vivan en el aula una igualdad real. Es la escuela uno de los agentes socializadores más importantes y en donde se debe propiciar el cambio en pro de una educación de equidad.

El trabajo a nivel de aula permitirá disminuir los esquemas discriminatorios y será un gran logro en beneficio de las futuras generaciones. Las interrelaciones que se viven en esa microcultura llamada aula, son muy enriquecedoras y variadas, por lo que es un lugar propicio para iniciar cambios en materia de género.

Published: August 2019

La atención a la diversidad es un reto que enfrenta el sistema educativo costarricense y las transformaciones que conlleva empujan desde sus bases poco a poco los cambios requeridos.

El reconocimiento de la diversidad estudiantil en el ámbito escolar es un hecho ineludible, porque cada estudiante coexiste en distintas realidades, estructuras familiares, contextos sociales y culturales donde las diferencias y semejanzas juegan un papel determinante en la convivencia humana.

Los servicios de apoyo están inmersos en esta realidad. La población estudiantil que presenta necesidades educativas derivadas de una discapacidad o de una condición especial, demanda cada vez más diversificar los espacios de intervención pedagógica empleando estrategias innovadoras y adaptadas a sus características y necesidades. Asimismo, que les permita un aprendizaje significativo y un desarrollo integral.

Representaciones gráficas de niños y niñas de preescolar, segundo y cuarto grado, con y sin necesidades educativas especiales
Authors: Rojas Rodríguez Dinia , Fontana Hernández Angélica , Pereira Pérez Zulay
Published: August 2019

La investigación desarrollada acerca del concepto de esquema corporal de niñas y niños con o sin necesidades educativas especiales (nee) de preescolar, segundo y cuarto grados, aporta datos relativos a las representaciones gráficas de los participantes acerca del esquema corporal. La mayoría de los estudiantes de ambos grupos representan adecuadamente la imagen corporal, no obstante, un grupo significativo de estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales de los tres niveles educativos, muestran en sus dibujos representaciones del esquema corporal con características en transición a las esperadas para su edad cronológica. También un grupo menor de estudiantes con y sin necesidades educativas especiales, de preescolar y segundo grado expresan en sus dibujos características con mayor evolución a las previstas para su edad.

Se sugiere retomar en los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje del esquema corporal, los conocimientos previos de los y las estudiantes y enfatizar no sólo en aspectos referidos al conocimiento del cuerpo, sino también a la imagen corporal, así como aplicar diversas actividades didácticas que permitan la vivencia y construcción de los conceptos abordados.

La metacognición como estrategia para detectar procesos cognitivos en niños con retraso mental
Authors: Vázquez Chaves Ana Patricia , León Rodríguez Suzanne , Rodríguez Ramírez María Judith
Published: August 2019

Este artículo se basa en una investigación tendiente a detectar los procesos cognitivos que empleaban los niños con retraso mental en la resolución de situaciones matemáticas, mediante el uso de estrategias metacognitivas. Se trabajó con una muestra de veinte niños con retraso mental que asisten a aulas integradas, de las provincias de Heredia y Alajuela. Se elaboró la Batería de Resolución de Situaciones matemáticas (BARSIMAR) para detectar los procesos cognitivos que empleaban los niños ante la ejecución de las estrategias metacognitivas. Los resultados demuestran que entre mayor sea el compromiso cognitivo de los niños mayor dificultad presentan al emplear los procesos cognitivos y al registrar la información en la memoria de corto plazo. Los niños más avanzados, lograron emplear mejor los procesos, pero con interferencias y dificultades para recuperar la información de la memoria a largo plazo y dar respuestas adecuadas ante la tarea cognitiva que tiene en frente.

SEXUAL DIMORPHISM OF FORAMEN MAGNUM: VALIDATION OF LENGTH AS A SINGLE MORPHOMETRIC PREDICTOR
Authors: Dimitrov B. , Peeva K.
Published: August 2019

PURPOSE: Skull morphometrics is very important in archaeology and forensic sciences for sex identification, especially when only limited osteometric data are available. The foramen magnum (FM) and occipital condyles, appears to be the most permanently preserved region of the human skeleton. The FM length (FML) is the most frequently measured, and often, the single available parameter of the FM in dry skulls. METHODS: FM data for 2524 skulls were taken from the Howells craniometric dataset (HCD). The validation cohort consisted of data for 177 Greek adult non-pathological intact dried skulls (GRD) as provided by the Aristotle University and National and Kapodistrian University (Athens). Descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric tests were used. Logistic regression modelling with the derivation of predicted probabilities and receiver operating characteristic ROC curve analyses with 95% CI were applied. Two-tailed P<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: The results indicate that the mean of the HCD FML in male was 35.78mm while FML mean in GRD was 35.337mm. The original regression model had predicted correctly 65% of skulls. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference between the predicted and observed values for sex in the Greek skulls validation set. FML, alone, can predict sex (male) with accuracy limit of 71%.

Authors: Bozhanska T. , Churkova B.
Published: August 2019

PURPOSE of the present study is to establish the growth, development and competitiveness of grass and legume components in mixed grasslands grown under the conditions of the Central Balkan Mountains.
METHODS: In the spring of 2014-2016, the growth and development of typical meadow legumes and grass species for that region were observed in the experimental field of RIMSA - Troyan, in double mixtures: 1. Bird's-foot-trefoil - Red fescue; 2. White clover - Perennial ryegrass; 3. White clover - Kentucky bluegrass; 4. Red clover - Timothy-grass; 5. Blue hybrid alfalfa - Cock's foot; 6. Red clover - Meadow fescue.
RESULTS: From all grass crops - Dactylis glomerata L. has the most pronounced competitive ability with respect to the biometric height indicator of plants, while Poa pratensis L. has the slightest one. For the three-year study period, Trifolium repens L. in its mixture with Lolium perenne L. recorded the lowest average growth values compared to the other legumes included in the experiment.
CONCLUSIONS: The best intercompatibility and, respectively, the most favorable combination of grass and legume components is found between Trifolium pratense L. and Festuca pratensis L., and the weakest among the components in the blue hybrid alfalfa - cock's foot mixture.
The length of the flower-bearing stems and leaf stalks of Trifolium pratense L. in the mixed grassland with meadow fescue have higher values (41.8:89.0 cm) and those with timothy-grass are lower (38.1:52.5 cm).
PROLACTIN RECEPTOR GENE (PRLR) ROLE IN SWINE REPRODUCTION
Authors: Sabev Zh.
Published: August 2019

PRLR gene has been studied as a candidate gene for litter size in swine because of prolactin biological functions and their association with reproduction. Prolactin receptor gene is mapped on porcine chromosome 16. The established PCR-RFLP polymorphism at PRLR locus demonstrated the presence of two alleles, А and В and three genotypes АА, АВ and ВВ. There were found different allele and genotype frequencies in different pig populations with variation of the effects of PRLR genotypes on litter traits. Additional studies should be done in specific breeds and populations to evaluate the association of existing PRLR locus polymorphism with reproductive traits before application of marker-assisted selection in these populations.

Published: August 2019

The purpose of the study is to identify self-reliance manifestation features among qualified athletes of different sports. Material and methods. The study participants were representatives of combat sports (boxing) n = 23, complex-coordination (gymnastics) n = 25, speed-strength (discus throw) n = 23, and also cyclic sports (swimming) n = 38. In total 109 sportsmen. The age of the respondents was from 16 to 18 years old. Comprehensive psycho-diagnostic methods diagnose self-reliance level and manifestation degree of athletes’ personal qualities. Results. The results of the study confirmed our hypothesis that athletes of various sports may experience specific features of self-reliance. It has been established that self-reliance level is higher than average for representatives of combat and complex-coordinated sports. Representatives of cyclical and speed-strength sports are characterized with an average self-reliance level. Combat and complex-coordination sports are very similar according to the specifics of self-reliance expression. Self-reliance possibility data comparison among cyclical and speed-strength athletes showed their certain homogeneity. It has been revealed that only a future activities reflection is closely related to a self-reliance among boxers (Spearman rank correlation = -.478). There are two correlations in the sample of gymnastics representatives. An increase in the overall reflection index (Spearman rank correlation = -.489) and the future activities reflection index (Spearman rank correlation = -.427) leads to self-reliance decrease among gymnasts. The inhibitory effect of future activity reflection on the athletes’ self-reliance level has been established empirically. We determined that self-assessment is a personal formation that actualizes self-reliance of swimmers and discus throwers. (Spearman rank correlation = .618). Conclusions. The handled comparative analysis of self-reliance of different sports athletes has verified its high informative value.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the impacts of existence or absence of musculus palmaris longus (MPL) on serve speed and certain motoric properties in the tennis players. Material: In the study, 25 male volunteers participated, who are playing tennis at university level and in whom the existence of musculus palmaris longus was checked. The ages of volunteers, who participate in tennis activities under licenses, vary between 18 and 25 and they have no disability or illness in the upper extremity. The experimental group (n=7) is comprised of individuals, who do not have musculus palmaris longus, while the control group (n=18) is comprised of individuals having musculus palmaris longus. Results: The age averages of the groups participating in the study was 21, 89±2, 246 years old for the group with musculus palmaris longus, while it was 22, 00±2, 517 years old for the participants without the musculus palmaris longus; as per their average height, it was 174, 94±5, 713 cm for the group with the musculus palmaris longus, while it was 174, 71±3, 546 cm for the participants without the musculus palmaris longus; the body weight average was 70, 83±5, 79 kg for the participants with musculus palmaris longus, while it was 72, 14±4, 059 kg for the participants without the musculus palmaris longus; sports-age average was 13, 00±1, 645 years for the ones with musculus palmaris longus, while it was 12, 29±1, 380 years for the participants without musculus palmaris longus. It was determined that there was statistically significant difference for the serve speed (p<0, 001) and the hand flexion strength (p<0, 05) parameters of the participants; however, there was statistically no significant difference (p>0, 05) in other parameters. Conclusions: As the conclusion, existence of musculus palmaris longus in tennis players positively influences the hand wrist flexion strength, however, it negatively influences the serve speed.
Relationship Between Organisational Effectiveness and Project Performance of SME Contractors: a Developing Country Perspective

Organisational effectiveness (OE) theory provides a veritable framework for examining organisational performance. This theory has, however, made a very little inroad into construction management literature, and there are limited discussions on the domains within which construction firms can measure their OE. Besides this, the extent to which corporate OE determines a contractor's project performance is not fully understood, primarily, in the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) contractor context. Based on data from 53 projects in higher institutions in Nigeria, this study evaluated the measures of corporate OE of SME contractors and examined the contributions of the corporate OE of the firms to their project performance. By factor analysis, it was discovered that the SME contractors' corporate OE can be measured using corporate advantage, firm experience, firm certification and firm owner background. Using canonical correlation, a significant relationship was found between the OE of the firms and the measures of project performance. The analysis further revealed that project cost and quality performances are bettered by increases in firm certification and experience, although time performance tends to worsen as a result. In addition to identifying the domains for measuring an SME contractor's OE, this study shows that better firm experience does not necessarily improve a contractors' project time performance. Construction stakeholders and the public should beware of firms that only boast of an excellent corporate advantage and ownership by prominent persons in the society, but without adequate experience and certification.

Maintenance performance measurement aims to assess and improve the value created after maintenance efforts, as it determines the impact of maintenance on the performance of a system or facility and its business process. As objects of maintenance, prison facilities ought to provide a safe and decent environment for prison staff and prisoners to work and live in, as well as for all others who interact with the facilities. This study evaluates the satisfaction ratings of maintenance performance on prison facilities in Southwestern, Nigeria. A survey approach was adopted to collect data from the relevant Nigerian prison staff population of 2,187 prison workers, excluding staff in the maintenance unit within a specific period. Stratified sampling technique was used to generate a sample of 1,094, which is representative of the entire population across the prisons. Three hundred and eighty (35%) out of the one thousand and ninety-four copies of the questionnaire were completed and returned. Data collected were analysed using the SPSS package. The study found that prison staff showed satisfaction with the level of cleanliness in the prison environment, quality of water and control of ventilation employing a window, as well as partial satisfaction with the twenty-nine other criterion assessed. Overall, the study indicated partial satisfaction for performance on prison facilities and established a significant agreement among prison staff regarding the perception of the performance of prison facilities. The research, therefore, suggests continuous evaluation of maintained prison facilities to ascertain their condition and performance levels.

Resumo: Apesar de sua gravidade, o feminicídio é pouco investigado e suas estimativas dependem das estratégias usadas à sua caracterização, do contexto sociocultural e político. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os homicídios intencionais de mulheres, com enfoque nos feminicídios, destacando suas características e fatores de risco. Estudo transversal, baseado em vigilância diária de homicídios na imprensa e em registros de mortalidade. Foram consideradas vítimas fatais por agressões, mortes de mulheres maiores de 11 anos, residentes em Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil, em 2016-2017. A classificação de feminicídios baseou-se na Lei nº 13.104/2015. O risco relativo foi estimado mediante regressão de Poisson e um modelo hierárquico foi empregado para a introdução das variáveis nos modelos. As análises foram efetuadas no software R. De 138 vítimas fatais por agressões, 52 foram feminicídios, 37,7% (IC: 29,4-45,5). A cada acréscimo unitário de idade o risco de feminicídio reduzia em 3% (IC: 0,95-0,99). O risco de feminicídio foi 40% menor (IC: 0,40-0,90) nas mulheres com até sete anos de escolaridade, em comparação às que tinham oito anos ou mais; as mulheres agredidas mediante força corporal tiveram risco 5,5 (IC: 2,6-11,3) vezes maior de feminicídio, em comparação às que foram agredidas com arma de fogo; e risco de feminicídio de 1,4 (IC: 1,1-2,7) nas que foram mortas durante o dia, em relação às que morreram de noite. A proporção de feminicídio deste estudo foi inferior a estimativas prévias no Brasil e a carga local da criminalidade urbana parece explicar parte desta divergência. Este trabalho demonstrou que idade, escolaridade, uso da força corporal e turno da agressão estão associados ao feminicídio.

ABSTRACT: Six adult Holstein cows were used in this fluid therapy study. All animals were previously submitted to 24 hours of water and food abstaining period and submitted to both hydration treatments for eight hours in a crossover design 6x2. Two treatments with hypotonic solutions (190 mOsm/L) with low strong ion difference and different chloride concentrations solutions were executed. Physical, biochemical, blood gas analysis and urinary evaluation were executed in five different experimental times (T-24h, T0h, T4h, T8h e T24h). The hydration period caused plasmatic volume expansion. An increase in faeces humidity, excretion of Na+ and Cl- in urine, reduction of PCV, osmolarity, blood and urinary pH was observed. Both solutions can be used for fluid therapy for adult cattle and solution containing calcium chloride (SECaCl) was the most suitable for use in animals with hypochloraemia.

ABSTRACT: Oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion containing goldenberry extract was elaborated using a high-energy ultrasonic bath method. Physicochemical characterization of the formulation was carried out by determining pH, mean droplet diameter, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential. Nanoemulsion toxicity was assessed using in vitro assays with tumor and non-tumor cell lines, and in vivo using Caenorhabditis elegans. The pH of the nanoemulsion was 3.84, the mean droplet diameter was 268 ± 7 nm, PDI 0.113 and zeta potential -13.94 mV. Results of the cytotoxicity assays employing non-tumor cells indicated that the extract associated or not with nanoemulsion maintained cell viability at different concentrations tested. In the assays using tumor lineage, it is observed that the nanoemulsion containing the extract had higher antitumor activity than the free extract. As for the in vivo tests, there was no change in the survival rate of the worms.
