Authors: Shi Aiye , Gao Hongmin , He Zhenyu , Li Min , Xu Lizhong
Published: February 2018

This paper uses the combination of information and class separability as a new evaluation criterion for hyperspectral imagery. Moreover, the correlation between bands is used as a constraint condition. The differential evolution algorithm is adopted during the search of optimal band combination. In addition, the game theory is introduced into the band selection to coordinate the potential conflict of searching the optimal band combination using information and class separability these two evaluation criteria. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective.

Authors: Aetrugh S , Aboshkiwa M , Tawil K , Shweref U , Erhuma M , Mustafa M
Published: February 2018

Background: The resistance to antimicrobial agents among Staphylococci is an increasing problem. This has led to a renewed interest in the usage of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) antibiotics to treat staphylococcal infections. Clinical failure has been reported due to multiple mechanisms that confer resistance to clindamycin antibiotics. The present study was to investigate the inducible clindamycin resistance among isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococci by the D-test method.

MATERIALS & METHODS: This study was conducted on 218 staphylococcal isolates obtained from different clinical specimens of outpatients and inpatients admitted to Tripoli Central Hospital (TCH), Libya. Methicillin resistance was detected by oxacillin, cefoxitin disc diffusion test (Kirby Bauer method) and confirmed by other biochemical tests. Detection of inducible clindamycin resistance was performed by D-test using erythromycin and clindamycin.

Results: Eighty-six out of 218 staphylococcal isolates were resistant to erythromycin,26 (11.9%) isolates were D-test positive indicating inducible (iMLSB) phenotype, 24 (11%) isolates exhibited constitutive (cMLSB) phenotype, while 36 (16.5%) showed true sensitivity to clindamycin indicating (MS) phenotype. The distribution of isolates showing iMLSB phenotype was 12 (19.4%) for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 8 (17.0%) for methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCNS), 6 (6.4%) for methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and 0 (0%) for methicillin-sensitive coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MSCNS).

Conclusion: Higher prevalence of iMLSB phenotype was mainly associated with methicillin-resistant than methicillin-sensitive isolates. We recommend that D-test should be performed to facilitate the appropriate treatment of patients infected with Staphylococci.
The Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility, Profitability, and Leverage toward Tax Aggressiveness with Size of Company as Moderating Variable
Authors: Fitri Riza Aulia , Munandar Agus
Published: March 2018

This research aimed to examine the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), profitability, and leverage toward tax aggressiveness by considering the size of the company as the moderating variable. The population was 111 companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2010 to 2015. Determination of the sample used purposive sampling method, and it obtained a sample of 36 manufacturing based on certain criteria. The analysis technique used was the multiple regression analysis. The results show that CSR and leverage have a significant and negative effect influence on the tax aggressiveness of the corporate tax. Meanwhile, profitability does not significantly influence the tax aggressiveness in corporate taxes, and the size of company cannot moderate the influence of CSR, the profitability, and leverage on tax aggressiveness.
Javanese House Interior Study: A Philosophical and Cosmological Extraction of Java’s Heritage, as Design Principles Application in Local Content Context
Authors: Fajarwati Ade Ariyani Sari
Published: March 2018

Omah has interior arrangement system and regulation according to the life of Javanese people hereditarily. In its process of building and interior arranging, Javanese people hold on to the philosophical and cosmological concept, which was illogic for modern design study to be applied in the aesthetic study. This study aimed to examine the extent of the correlation between consideration of philosophical and cosmological Java community with modern design principles in making Omah. It was through observation on concept application to the realization in Omah form and also through literature analysis of both these principles. This research used the qualitative method in the form of observation and literature study. This research would observe and analyze the relationship between philosophical and cosmological extraction of Javanese interior with design principle through the study from another journal. It finds that a design that facilitates activities and way of life of Javanese people applies design principles and a modern study that becomes visual beauty guidance.

I had always believed that the Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) is capable of producing a journal, which had never been done before. The production of this first issue happened after almost four years of my mooting the idea. It was not because of incapability, but there a change in the organizational structure in the midst of producing and putting together this journal. At last this journal is now in your hands as a result of the hard work and effort put forward by a great team of people, led by Assoc. Professor Dr. Alias Abdullah, the Vice President of the Institute. I thank all of them and urge them to continue and dedicate themselves to the furtherance of planning through the journal.For members of the Institute, I would urge the the journal forms part of your educational and learning medium. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Therefore, reading the journal is certainly pertinent to improve your knowledge of planning and related issues. Reading is a necessity to stay healthy in the business of planning. The wisest mind has always something to learn and learning does not stop upon graduation from university. TO catch up with new issues and experiences, use this journal as a constant companion and reference.Lastly, I express my hope that the journal continues to be produced at least once a years. I therefore call upon members and non-members, whether from the academic world, public service or those in private practice, to contribute your thoughts on paper. You will learn as much by writing as by reading.Thank you.

This year MIP is celebrating its 40 years old. Although she was in existence for almost half a century with a lot of ‘up and down’ and ‘bitter and sweet’ recalls in championing the novel course of planning profession in the country, the consistency of publication of Planning Malaysia Journal only could be realized since 2003.Started with four editorial board members and difficulties in chasing the articles from the planning fraternities, now in its volume 10lh the Journal is well-received by the members as well as the academic community. This is due to perhaps, the awareness for knowledge seeking and improvement among the members as the articles touch on wide spectrum of our daily planning issues. It is indeed a great achievement to the Institute as we strive to encourage more members and academics to write and share new ideas on planning and urban development.The main objective of this journal is to offer a platform for town planners to share ideas and experiences on urban and regional planning stuffs. Ideas and thoughts may be generated from research, studies undertaken or actual hands-on experiences of planners and academics. MIP hopes the journal can offer a healthier insight to all planners so that their roles as town planners can be eloquently appreciated by the public.We expect to outspread the circulation of this journal to non-planning related organizations and institutions that has indirect role in planning within and outside the country. We hope this issue will serve the purpose and welcome any comment for improvement in the future issue.As a President, I would like to acknowledge and congratulate the authors and the Journal’s Editorial Board Members for their dedication and continuous support to the Institute.Thank you and happy reading.

Safety of our cities is now a global concern as more than half of the world’s population is now urban dwellers. Crime in cities is also increasing and even if we have the best police force in the country, it is still not possible for one organization to address the many factors that contribute towards crime which has influence perceptions of safety in our city.Crime in cities dictates on choice of where to live, work, shop and play and in some cities it has brought about segregation of communities, where wealthier communities that can afford security lives in gated and guarded neighbourhood.A Safe City is a sustainable city, where communities can live in a more inclusive and secure environment Root causes of crime is linked to and integrated with other issues like economics, health, housing, and the interaction of different social groups. Addressing safety issues will make cities more attractive and livable.That is why the Malaysian Institute of Planners decided to focus on the issue of Safe City in this journal’s publication. The Institute strongly feels that town planners have a role to play in making our urban spaces safer. Several articles in this journal explore the various issues that can contribute towards a Safe City and I would like to thank all the writers and editors for this special publication.Thank you.
Urbanization and Regional Imbalances in Indonesia
Authors: Wilonoyudho Saratri
Published: March 2018

The level of urbanization that occurred in Indonesia at this time is remarkable that causes the growth of cities very rapidly. The growth of cities is mainly due to various reasons such as the capitalization process, regional enlargement/reclassification, as well as migration from rural to urban. The growth of cities leads a lot of problems like environmental degradation, traffic congestion, poverty, crime and other social conflicts. Such a rapid rate of urbanization is a reflection of the inequity between rural and urban development. Lack of employment opportunities in the village causes the population to go into town to find work. The imbalance of development that occurs is a result of implementing a liberal economic system that only emphasizes growth, while on the other side of the agricultural sector is not paid any appropriate attention. The farmers are at a very weak and do not have a good bargaining position, with the exchange rate is very lame. Even regarding with the foodstuffs such as rice, wheat, sugar, salt, etc., Indonesia has to import from abroad. The imbalances of development do not only occur between rural and urban, but also between Java and the outside of Java, and between western and eastern Indonesia regions. This imbalance should be found a solution, with good management and equitable development, including the political will to reform the economic system in favor of the Indonesian people.
Management of Osteoporosis in CKD
Authors: Khairallah Pascale , Nickolas Thomas L.
Published: February 2018

CKD mineral and bone disease is a common complication of kidney disease, and it affects the majority of patients with moderate to severe CKD. Recently, prospective studies have shown that measurement of bone mineral density by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry predicts incident fracture, providing nephrologists the ability to risk classify patients for skeletal fragility and targeted antifracture strategies for the first time. Furthermore, an expanding body of literature and anecdotal evidence suggest that pharmacologic agents used to treat osteoporosis in the general population can be safely used in patients with CKD. This review highlights the effects of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes updates on the management of CKD-associated osteoporosis, discusses recent investigations on the effects of antiosteoporotic agents in patients with CKD, and provides an overview of novel antiosteoporosis agents and the potential challenges related to their use in CKD.
A Culturalist Interpretation of the Dark Brothers’ Sound Bitterness in Hughes’s I, Too, Sing America
Authors: Luo Jun , Li Guijun
Published: February 2018

Langston Hughes is an important poet over the Harlem Renaissance who has contributed to the enhancement of the thematic profundity of his poetry in the association of African-American culture rooted in its literature, music, theater, art, and politics with his poetic production. Inspired by the original newness of his great poems, many foreign and Chinese scholars and critics have not only discussed much about his indispensable role in promoting dark brothers’ folk culture on the basis of their valuable explorations among his works but also made a mention of dark brothers’ lower social position as well as their unfair treatment in American society that has been dominated by their counterparts’ culture through the careful combination of his poems with the unbearable experience they have been suffering from. What they haven’t focused on in their respective studies of dark brothers’ discriminated culture is a sound and detailed discussion about the dark brothers’ empirical bitterness in the whole textual spaces of one of their academic essays or monographs in correspondence to one of his poems. To reduce the academic limitations in this respect, this essay will take one of his poems, I, Too, Sing America, as an analytical example to give a culturalist interpretation of the dark brothers’ sound bitterness.

Temporal and Spatial Effects of Urban Center on Housing Price — A Case Study on Hangzhou, China
Authors: Chu Luhong , Wen Haizhen
Published: February 2018

With the acceleration of urbanization and the rapid development of real estate, people pay more and more attention to the change of urban housing prices. Over time, the change of city center will inevitably affect the urban land or housing prices, which is reflected in the spatial distribution of urban land or housing prices. Therefore, this article attempts to explore the impact of urban center on housing prices from the perspective of multi-center city and study separately from two aspects of time and space. This paper takes the six main urban districts of Hangzhou as the research scope. At the time level, we select the residential data from 2007 to 2015 to construct models respectively based on the hedonic price theory and find that the influence of different urban center on housing price shows a certain change with time. On the spatial level, this paper choses the residential data in 2012 to construct geographic weighted regression model and the result shows that the impact of three centers on housing prices shows a certain degree of spatial heterogeneity.

Retinal neuronal abnormalities occur before vascular changes in diabetic retinopathy. Accumulating experimental evidence suggests that neurons control vascular pathology in diabetic and other neovascular retinal diseases. Therefore, normalizing neuronal activity in diabetes may prevent vascular pathology. We investigated whether fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) prevented retinal neuronal dysfunction in insulin-deficient diabetic mice. We found that in diabetic neural retina, photoreceptor rather than inner retinal function was most affected and administration of the long-acting FGF21 analog PF-05231023 restored the retinal neuronal functional deficits detected by electroretinography. PF-05231023 administration protected against diabetes-induced disorganization of photoreceptor segments seen in retinal cross section with immunohistochemistry and attenuated the reduction in the thickness of photoreceptor segments measured by optical coherence tomography. PF-05231023, independent of its downstream metabolic modulator adiponectin, reduced inflammatory marker interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA levels. PF-05231023 activated the AKT-nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 pathway and reduced IL-1β expression in stressed photoreceptors. PF-05231023 administration did not change retinal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for the prevention of early diabetic retinopathy by protecting photoreceptor function in diabetes.

OBJECTIVE

To study incident diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) prospectively during the first 13 years after a screening-based diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and determine the associated risk factors for the development of DPN.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We assessed DPN longitudinally in the Danish arm of the Anglo-Danish-Dutch study of Intensive Treatment of Diabetes in Primary Care (ADDITION) using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument questionnaire (MNSIQ), defining DPN with scores ≥4. Risk factors present at the diabetes diagnosis associated with the risk of incident DPN were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for trial randomization group, sex, and age.

RESULTS

Of the total cohort of 1,533 people, 1,445 completed the MNSIQ at baseline and 189 (13.1%) had DPN at baseline. The remaining 1,256 without DPN entered this study (median age 60.8 years [interquartile range 55.6; 65.6], 59% of whom were men). The cumulative incidence of DPN was 10% during 13 years of diabetes. Age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03 [95% CI 1.00; 1.07]) (unit = 1 year), weight (HR 1.09 [95% CI 1.03; 1.16]) (unit = 5 kg), waist circumference (HR 1.14 [95% CI 1.05; 1.24]) (unit = 5 cm), BMI (HR 1.14 [95% CI 1.06; 1.23]) (unit = 2 kg/m2), log2 methylglyoxal (HR 1.45 [95% CI 1.12; 1.89]) (unit = doubling), HDL cholesterol (HR 0.82 [95% CI 0.69; 0.99]) (unit = 0.25 mmol/L), and LDL cholesterol (HR 0.92 [95% CI 0.86; 0.98]) (unit = 0.25 mmol/L) at baseline were significantly associated with the risk of incident DPN.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides further epidemiological evidence for obesity as a risk factor for DPN. Moreover, low HDL cholesterol levels and higher levels of methylglyoxal, a marker of dicarbonyl stress, are identified as risk factors for the development of DPN.

Este texto se insere em uma pesquisa maior, que culminará em uma tese de doutorado, pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências: química da vida e saúde da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande - FURG. A referida pesquisa tem o objetivo de compreender como os sujeitos ingressantes da moradia estudantil desenvolvem estratégias para aprender e aprovar nas disciplinas Cálculo. Contudo, nesse texto, buscando uma primeira aproximação com os sujeitos da pesquisa, metodologicamente, optou-se por fazer o mapa do campo, dividido em dois movimentos e, levantar alguns dados para a análise. O objetivo inicial foi conhecer o contexto, a fim de traçar o perfil dos 24 estudantes que ingressaram na moradia estudantil na FURG, no primeiro semestre de 2017 e estavam matriculados nas disciplinas Cálculo. No primeiro movimento foram levantados dados que antecedem o ingresso na Universidade, como: proveniência regional, gênero, idade e rede de Educação Básica e, posteriormente, dados acadêmicos, como: modalidade de ingresso pelo Sistema de Seleção Unificada – SISU, curso, a disciplina Cálculo em que estavam matriculados e suas respectivas ementas. Traçado o perfil dos sujeitos realizou-se um segundo movimento, no qual foram entrevistados os 11 primeiros sujeitos da pesquisa. Nas entrevistas os estudantes definiram a disciplina em uma palavra e relataram as suas estratégias de estudos, avaliando-as. Contudo, o presente trabalho está se detendo em discutir as respostas referentes ao questionamento: “Defina a disciplina cálculo em uma palavra.”. Como resposta ao questionamento emergiram expressões como: divisor de águas, paixão, medo, difícil, possibilidades, empecilho e necessário.

Published: February 2018

Com a chegada de novas ferramentas tecnológicas de comunicação e informação, o uso da internet ganhou destaque e aumentou significativamente a velocidade com que se dá o acesso às informações. Nesse cenário, a iniciação à pesquisa pode ser beneficiada e potencializar a construção do conhecimento. O estudo buscou investigar processos de ensino, de iniciação à pesquisa e de aproximação com as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação - TDIC, que permeiam as práticas pedagógicas de docentes do Ensino Superior e da Educação Básica. Foram entrevistados seis alunos mestrandos que desenvolvem seu trabalho nas regiões Sul, Norte e Nordeste do Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, sendo que as informações foram coletadas mediante entrevista gravada, seguindo um roteiro de questões semiestruturadas. Resultados apontam que todos os alunos mestrandos trazem uma predominante concepção de que as pesquisas devem ser realizadas na biblioteca da escola ou então na sala de informática, sendo que justificam o não fazer pesquisa pela falta de infraestrutura. A ideia de realizar investigações/pesquisas na sala de aula é algo distante da compreensão da maioria dos entrevistados.

Escrevemos sobre o Projeto Filosofias Contemporâneas de Foucault, Nietzsche e Deleuze, desenvolvido pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Philos Sophias que reúne pesquisadores/as e profissionais de distintas áreas de formação acadêmica para o compartilhamento de leituras e conversações. Consideramos que o Projeto vem traçando um território aberto de produção de pensamentos múltiplos e singulares, mediante a articulação dos conceitos filosóficos estudados com os saberes, experiências, desejos de cada um/a dos/as integrantes do grupo. As diferenças nos tornam intercessores uns dos outros numa ação filosófica criadora de devires nas formas de pensar, estar e viver no mundo presente. Experimentar o pensamento livre  na produção de uma estética da existência, concebida pela pluralidade e singularidade das subjetividades, é o que nos move. Queremos viver o cuidado de si nas relações com os outros, filosofando.
Currículo contemporâneo: a proposta de ensino para cursos populares construída com apenados da Penitenciária Estadual do Rio Grande
Authors: Kepps da Silva Peterson Fernando , Schwantes Lavínia
Published: March 2018

O sistema prisional brasileiro é marcado mundialmente pela superlotação, falta de estrutura e presença de facções criminosas; além de um tratamento questionável com os detentos. A escolarização dos apenados no Brasil é baixa, principalmente, em homens com idades entre 18 e 34 anos. Neste contexto, o projeto intitulado Cultura da Paz, emerge como uma possibilidade de aproximar a educação dos sujeitos privados de liberdade. O mesmo é um projeto de extensão desenvolvido pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), a partir do Programa de Auxilio ao Ingresso nos Ensinos Técnico e Superior (PAIETS). Os estudantes que integram o projeto Cultura da Paz são, exclusivamente, apenados do regime aberto e semiaberto da Penitenciária Estadual do Rio Grande (PERG). O presente trabalho se destina a discutir, por meio da apresentação de oficinas pedagógicas, uma proposta curricular contemporânea no que tange o currículo de cursos pré-universitários populares. Para tanto, apresentamos as oficinas pedagógicas desenvolvidas no projeto e discutimos a viabilidade de construção de um currículo que denominamos contemporâneo. Percebemos que as oficinas pedagógicas podem contribuir com a construção desta proposta curricular e possibilitar a criação de espaços menos rígidos e fixos e o dialogar com o interesse dos alunos. Assim como a construção de propostas reflexivas e que estimulem a posição dos estudantes, o trabalho docente executado de forma cooperativa e a consideração das peculiaridades dos sujeitos e seu cotidiano.

Published: March 2018

Considerando a importância do entrecruzamento de história e ficção, especialmente no contexto da América Latina, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma proposta de uma história da literatura de narrativas latino-americanas que estabelecem relações diretas com episódios históricos. A motivação para tal pensamento se deve, especialmente, pela efervescência de textos ficcionais de cunho histórico nas últimas décadas do século XX, questão que permanece no século XXI. Tais narrativas se apresentam como um discurso semelhante ao da história, dotado de verdade, um discurso cuja versão aponta para uma versão o mais fiel possível aos eventos e personagens do passado histórico.
Concepções de beleza para adolescentes anoréxicos(as) e bulímicos(as) em uma escola na cidade de Rio Grande/ RS
Authors: Bravo Francine Mirapalheta , Domingues Josiane Vian
Published: March 2018

Esse trabalho apresenta como objetivo discutir as concepções de beleza construídas por um grupo de adolescentes que se consideram anoréxicos(as) e/ou bulímicos(as) em uma Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio da Cidade de Rio Grande/RS. Tal proposta emerge por compreender que a beleza é produzida a partir de relações sócio-culturais as quais são estabelecidas, além do entendimento de que ainda hoje é possível considerar o corpo magro como aquele que representa o belo. Três adolescentes participaram do estudo. Para tanto, os Estudos Culturais, em sua vertente pós-estruturalista, servem como uma base teórica, tendo inspiração do grupo focal como ferramenta para a produção dos dados. Ao longo do encontro com os(as) adolescentes, foi possível identificar que para eles(as), as noções de beleza estão atreladas à magreza, especialmente demarcadas em algumas regiões específicas do corpo como barriga, glúteos e face, as quais precisam apresentar um aspecto magro. Apontaram ainda sobre os investimentos e autocontrole que é preciso desenvolver para se ter esse corpo. Além disso, foi possível perceber, a partir dos relatos, que há uma diferenciação entre as noções de beleza, no que tange os corpos femininos e masculinos, ou seja, há formas de compreender uma beleza masculina e uma beleza feminina. Enfim, a partir dos relatos apontados pelos(as) três adolescentes que participaram desse trabalho há de se considerar que há uma concepção bastante forte para eles no que tange a beleza: terem corpos magros, entretanto, essa magreza é produzida a partir de diferentes atributos generificados, direcionados aos corpos masculinos e femininos.
Relação entre a desvalorização profissional e o mal-estar docente
Authors: Silva Luana Maria Santos da , Pereira Fabrine Diniz , Novello Tanise Paula , Silveira Daniel da Silva
Published: March 2018

Pesquisas evidenciam que uma porcentagem significativa da população sofre de estresse laboral, neste contexto destaca-se os profissionais da área da educação, visto que, um número significativo de professores tem uma rotina corrida e excessiva demanda de trabalho. Somado a isso, o convívio com alunos, pais e colegas que, por vezes, é conflituoso, são estressores que tornam os docentes vulneráveis ao mal-estar. Neste trabalho, o mal-estar é entendido como a presença de obstáculos relacionados ao volume de trabalho e à precariedade das condições para lidar com as adversidades, assim como as altas demandas emocionais, que, por decorrência, refletem-se em condutas de insatisfação com a profissão, falta de comprometimento, absenteísmo, alto nível de estresse e anseio em desistir de lecionar. Desta forma, essa pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar como a desvalorização do professor pode ser um desencadeador do mal-estar nos docentes. Para tanto, realizou-se entrevistas com professores de matemática das cidades de Rio Grande – RS e São José do Norte – RS. O discurso dos professores evidencia que a maioria deles estão desmotivados com a carreira docente, principalmente pela desvalorização da profissão. Ademais, é apontado nessa investigação que os aspectos salariais e carga horária estão entre os principais fatores que podem desencadear o mal-estar docente.

Maternidade sem romantismos: alguns olhares sobre as maternidades e os sujeitos-mãe na contemporaneidade
Authors: Lauxen Jéssica , Quadrado Raquel Pereira
Published: March 2018

Para este trabalho, que teve como objetivo analisar os significados de maternidades e sujeitos mãe presentes na postagem desafio da maternidade real (#desafiodamaternidadereal) realizada no site de rede social Facebook, realizamos uma análise deste desafio que surgiu em fevereiro de 2016, o qual gerou intensos debates a respeito do exercício da maternidade. A proposta foi lançada por uma internauta em resposta ao desafio da maternidade (#desafiodamaternidade), no qual mães eram convidadas a realizar postagens de momentos felizes com suas/seus filhas/os, escrevendo os motivos pelos quais eram felizes sendo mães. A internauta realizou um novo movimento, escrevendo o que, para ela, era o lado ruim da maternidade, o qual ninguém falava. Realizamos uma análise dos comentários da postagem original, considerando os comentários mais curtidos, e categorizando-os por semelhanças. Assim, destacamos primeiramente a enorme repercussão gerada por um discurso que rompe com o discurso moderno da maternidade. Alguns dos significados de maternidade que se sobressaem nos comentários fazem parte de um discurso hegemônico sobre ser mãe, como: maternidade como benção de Deus, boa mãe é a que amamenta, a mãe que não se enquadra no discurso romântico sofre de depressão pós-parto, entre outros significados que serão apresentados no trabalho. Entendemos que este trabalho apresenta relevância no campo dos estudos culturais e de gênero, por ser a maternidade uma das formas de maior desigualdade entre os gêneros, sendo uma necessidade política discuti-la, entendendo-a como uma construção histórica e social.

Kuvanveistäjä Eva Ryynäsen julkisuuskuva

Harva on se taiteilijajoukko Suomessa, johon kohdistetaan aktiivista muistityötä vuodesta ja vuosikymmenestä toiseen. Monen taiteilijan elämäntyö kaventuu vähitellen taidehistorian kaanonissa yksittäisten mainintojen kautta alaviitteisiin nimimaininnaksi, ja lopulta nimikin jää uusista painoksista ja tutkimuksista kokonaan pois. Toisinaan taiteilijan muistelussa aktivoidutaan tasavuosien tai -vuosikymmenten lähestyessä. Kuvanveistäjä Eva Ryynästä (1915–2001) muisteltiin eri tavoin Pohjois-Karjalassa vuonna 2015, jolloin taiteilijan syntymästä oli kulunut 100 vuotta. Jo aiemmin Ryynäsen elämänvaiheita ja tuotantoa on esitelty jonkin verran yleistajuisissa julkaisuissa, mutta tutkimustietoa hän taiteilijaurastaan on niukasti. Tämä artikkeli vastaa puutteeseen käsittelemällä Ryynäsen julkisuuskuvan rakentumista lehdistöaineiston valossa. Samalla artikkelissa käsitellään Ryynäsen asemaa kotimaisessa kuvataidekentässä.

Jules Verne: de la odisea a la ciencia ficción
Authors: Rodriguez Pequeño Javier
Published: February 2018

El artículo pretende recordar el importante papel que jugó Jules Verne en la moderna literatura fantástica. Sus Viajes extraordinarios modernizan la odisea clásica y, gracias a la incorporación de la ciencia y a la importancia que concede a la verosimilitud dentro de lo fantástico, crea la ciencia ficción, al tiempo que crea una literatura fantástica basada no el terror, como era común en su época, sino en la fascinación. La utopía es un género muy antiguo pero no le sucede lo mismo a la distopía, que debe mucho también al escritor de Nantes.

Fusarium culmorum is predominating causal agent of head blight (HB) and root rot (RR) in cereals worldwide. Since F. culmorum has a great level of genetic diversity and the parasexual stage is assumed for this phytopathogen, characterization of isolates from different regions is significant step in food safety and controlling the HB. In this study, it was aimed to characterize totally 37 F. culmorum isolates from Turkey via sequence related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) marker based genotyping. MAT-1/MAT-2 type assay was also used in order to reveal intraspecific variation in F. culmorum. MAT-1 and MAT-2 specific primer pairs for mating assays resulted in 210 and 260 bp bands, respectively. 11 of isolates were belonged to MAT-1 type whereas 19 samples were of MAT-2. Remaining 7 samples yielded both amplicons. Totally 9 SRAP primer sets yielded amplicons from all isolates. Genetic similarity values were ranged from 39 to 94.7%. Total band number was 127 and PCR product sizes were in the range of 0.1-2.5 kb. Amplicon numbers for individuals were ranged from 1 to 16. According to data obtained from current study, SRAP based genotyping is powerful tool for supporting the data obtained from investigations including phenotypic and agro-ecological characteristics. Findings showed that SRAP-based markers could be useful in F. culmorum characterization.
