Quadriceps Recovery After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Quadriceps Tendon Versus Patellar Tendon Autografts
Authors: Hunnicutt Jennifer L. , Gregory Chris M. , McLeod Michelle M. , Woolf Shane K. , Chapin Russell W. , Slone Harris S.
Published: April 2019

Background:

Quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts are being increasingly used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). A paucity of studies exist that compare QT autografts with alternative graft options. Additionally, concerns exist regarding quadriceps recovery after graft harvest insult to the quadriceps muscle-tendon unit.

Purpose/Hypothesis:

The purpose of this study was to compare quadriceps recovery and functional outcomes in patients with QT versus bone–patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) autografts. The hypothesis was that those with QT autografts would demonstrate superior outcomes.

Study Design:

Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods:

Active patients with a history of primary, unilateral ACLR with soft tissue QT or BPTB autografts participated. Quadriceps recovery was quantified using variables of strength, muscle size, and activation. Knee extensor isometric and isokinetic strength was measured bilaterally with an isokinetic dynamometer and normalized to body weight. Quadriceps activation was measured with the superimposed burst technique. The maximal cross-sectional area of each quadriceps muscle was measured bilaterally using magnetic resonance imaging. Assessors of muscle size were blinded to the graft type and side of ACLR. Functional tests included hop tests and step length symmetry during walking, measured via spatiotemporal gait analysis. Self-reported function was determined with the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire. Neuromuscular and functional outcomes were expressed as limb symmetry indices (LSIs: [surgical limb/nonsurgical limb]*100%). Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to compare the LSIs and IKDC scores between groups.

Results:

There were 30 study participants (19 male, 11 female; median age, 22 years [range, 14-41 years]; median time since surgery, 8 months [range, 6-23 months]), with 15 patients in each group. There were no significant between-group differences in demographic variables or outcomes. LSIs were not significantly different between the QT versus BPTB group, respectively: knee extensor isokinetic strength at 60 deg/s (median, 70 [range, 41-120] vs 68 [range, 37-83]; P = .285), activation (median, 95 [range, 85-111] vs 92 [range, 82-105]; P = .148), cross-sectional area of the vastus medialis (median, 79 [range, 62-104] vs 77 [range, 62-95]; P = .425), single-leg hop test (median, 88 [range, 35-114] vs 77 [range, 49-100]; P = .156), and step length symmetry (median, 99 [range, 93-104] vs 98 [range, 92-103]; P = .653). The median IKDC scores between the QT and BPTB groups were also not significantly different: 82 (range, 67-94) versus 83 (range, 54-94); respectively ( P = .683).

Conclusion:

Patients with QT autografts demonstrated similar short-term quadriceps recovery and postsurgical outcomes compared with patients with BPTB autografts.
Indirect oxidative stress from pulmonary inflammation exceeds direct oxidative stress from chemical damage to mitochondria
Authors: Smith Carr J , Perfetti Thomas A , King Judy A
Published: April 2019

The term oxidative stress was introduced by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) in 1985. It is now invoked as a contributing mechanism to the induction of tumors in chronic rodent cancer bioassays following administration of a chemical agent, especially via inhalation. The term oxidative stress is confusing as there are two different types of oxidative stress. Direct oxidative stress derives from chemical damage to mitochondrial energy-producing structures with concomitantly altered mitochondrial function. Indirect oxidative stress is frequently quantitatively greater than direct oxidative stress in terms of release of activated oxygen or nitrogen species secreted by one or more of 12 potential in situ or recruited inflammatory cell types. Evidence supporting a role for direct oxidative stress in chemical carcinogenesis comes from cell culture studies wherein the cells have been removed from their natural environment and denuded of defense systems, for example, removal of particles by cilia, macrophage engulfment of particles, and suspension and dilution of chemicals or particles in pulmonary surfactant. In contrast, extensive direct evidence from bronchoalveolar lung washes conducted on humans shows elevations in pulmonary macrophage and neutrophil counts, release of intravascular proteins into the extracellular space, and activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines that correlate with observed pulmonary pathology. Higher rates of lung cancer in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than in smokers at the same cigarette consumption level but without COPD demonstrate a positive contribution by pulmonary inflammation to pulmonary carcinogenesis. Indirect oxidative stress from pulmonary inflammation should be considered before allocating a primary carcinogenic role for direct oxidative stress.
Intensificação do verbo e mudança construcional
Authors: Silva José Romerito
Published: April 2019

Neste trabalho, temos como foco central a intensificação de verbos com super. Partimos da hipótese de que se trata de um fenômeno de mudança construcional. Temos como objetivo mostrar que essa forma de intensificar o verbo difere do modo convencional – em que super é prefixo participante da formação lexical do verbo –, configurando-se, portanto, uma nova microconstrução no português brasileiro contemporâneo. Para tanto, valemo-nos do aparato teórico metodológico da Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso. Como material de análise, utlizamos textos de gêneros variados nas modalidades falada e escrita. Investigações preliminares apontam que a intensificação verbal com super parece ainda se limitar à fala espontânea pouco monitorada ou à escrita mais próxima dessa forma de oralidade.
Uma análise construcionista da variação entre construções com verbo-suporte DAR no PB
Authors: Travassos Pâmela Fagundes , Vieira Márcia Dos Santos Machado
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo tem como tema a variação entre construções com verbo-suporte DAR que se relacionam a elementos não-verbais do tipo “uma X-[a/i]da”, “uma X-[a/i]dinha”, “uma X-(z)inh[o/a]” e “uma X-adela”, como: dar uma caminhada, dar uma fugidinha e dar um pulinho. Tendo em vista o princípio de não-sinonímia de GOLDBERG (1995), intenciona-se verificar se os resultados da pesquisa experimental empreendida vão mostrar se os informantes encontram diferenças funcionais entre os predicadores complexos. Construções com verbo-suporte tendem a marcar curta duração temporal, mas pode estar em jogo o uso de estratégia de polidez, como um recurso de preservação de face. Tendo em vista orientações da Linguística Funcional-Cognitiva e da abordagem da Gramática de Construções Baseada no Uso, objetiva-se investigar se há indícios de variação, bem como verificar as diferentes leituras do evento por parte dos usuários do PB, levando em consideração tanto o cotexto quanto o contexto semântico, discursivo e pragmático em que essas construções estejam inseridas. Resultados revelam indícios de que tais construções, ao se atualizarem no discurso, põem em jogo diversos valores, como a curta duração temporal e a polidez. Além disso, alguns constructos revelam indícios de variação (por convivência ou competição). Trata-se, portanto, de uma análise construcionista da variação.
Developing projection in student songwriters: Writing popular songs that are actually popular
Authors: Sampson Chris
Published: April 2019

An important turning point in the development of a young songwriter occurs when they transition from writing songs that might only be meaningful to themselves to writing songs with the intention of connecting to a wider audience. This accomplishment can be described as a student achieving good projection through their songs. More specifically, good projection in songwriting happens when student’s successfully leverage elements of the craft that effectively produces audience participation through groove, melody, form and lyrics. An artist’s persona can also contribute significantly to connecting with a wide audience through their unique and compelling performance style. Through understanding these elements, songwriting instructors at all levels can craft lessons that focus on these fundamentals with the explicit goal of improving projection in their students writing. Furthermore, the concept of projection helps create baseline criteria for the assessment of songs in the classroom regardless of genre or subgenre.
The benefits of prosody for music educators and students: Unpacking prosody and songwriting strategies in the classroom
Authors: Bishop Dave
Published: April 2019

Literary and linguistic prosody principles can provide music educators and students with constructive, time honoured, deeply creative songwriting strategies. This article is an opportunity to share a direct and unique classroom experience of teaching prosody within songwriting. Through discussing a personal songwriting and teaching practice grounded in prosody, this article will present recommendations for a specific pedagogy underpinned by prosody for use in the songwriting classroom. Within this article the principles of literary and linguistic prosody will be outlined and discussed alongside songwriting strategies such as writing from a title, matching stressed syllables to stressed beats, metre, song structure and rhyme. The principle of prosody will also be expanded to involve the idea of unity and will be explained in relation to songwriting areas including rhythm, harmony, melody and performance.
‘Atawit Nawa Wakishwit’: Collective songwriting with Native American youth
Authors: Campbell Patricia Shehan , Mena Christopher , Gestsson Skúli , Coppola William J.
Published: April 2019

This article chronicles a four-month facilitative teaching collaboration between a music education team from the University of Washington and youth enrolled in a Native American tribal school in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The collaboration embraced a creative process honouring student voices, community values, principles of indigenous pedagogy, and an earnest effort to support student expressive impulses that blend their Native American heritage with a pervasive interest in popular music. A collective songwriting process with roots in indigenous practices from Chiapas, Mexico was employed as the framework through which students confronted social and cultural matters. The school is located in a community where language and ways of living are threatened – a concern upon which students reflected in writing a song partly in their endangered Native language of Sahaptin. The process is described as a pathway to the use of creative avenues that address social issues among marginalized youth towards artistic and sociomusical ends.
Stephen Wheel on songwriting: An interview
Authors: Smith Gareth Dylan
Published: April 2019

In this interview, Welsh guitarist, composer, producer and songwriter, Stephen Wheel discusses his reasons for writing songs, his approach to songwriting and his compulsion to make music. He talks about occupying the intersecting roles of producer, writer, engineer and performer, and the integrity of performances to a completed song. He writes for himself, being instigator and arbiter of the creative process. He describes how some songs are easier to finish than others, as he strives to complete each song on its terms. Melodies and lyrics have often been the most elusive elements of songwriting for Wheel, but he explains how the various components of song creation emerge and converge with particular songs and different projects. Wheel works with the larger canvas of the album, conceptualizing the songwriting process as both driving and serving successive album concepts.

Does Fast Food Last Forever? Exploring the Mold Myth
Authors: Lampert Evan , Munro Holly
Published: April 2019

The abundance of online resources that students have access to makes it difficult to determine whether the information they find is accurate. Several online sources have claimed that hamburgers from fast-food chains do not decompose, and we developed two exercises that allow students to (1) test this claim, (2) learn about fungi, and (3) reflect on their eating habits. In both exercises, we inoculated fast-food items with the fungus Rhizopus stolonifer. The first exercise was a controlled experiment with hamburgers, and the second was a screening trial in which all students brought in their own fast-food items. In both exercises, animal-based products and fatty baked products (e.g., biscuits) allowed R. stolonifer to grow, while condiments and bread products tended to inhibit growth. Our students indicated that they would be more critical of online information and that they would eat less fast food. These exercises met our objectives and engaged our students, and we encourage others to develop exercises that examine online claims.
The Indigenous Governor of Tlaxcala and Acceptable Indigenousness in the Porfirian Regime
Authors: Sumner Jaclyn Ann
Published: April 2019

This article examines how Próspero Cahuantzi, governor of Tlaxcala from 1885–1911, claimed his Indigenous heritage. Cahuantzi asserted his Indigenousness by contributing to the Porfirian administration’s nation-building campaigns, which glorified Mexico’s Indigenous past. The article traces how Cahuantzi collected, disseminated, and protected Indigenous artifacts and history. Through his actions, which included giving speeches in Nahuatl at the Eleventh International Congress of Americanists (Mexico City, 1895), Cahuantzi ingratiated himself to national and international elites. Thus, the article shows how Cahuantzi’s Indigenousness helped him to secure a permanent political position in Porfirio Díaz’s dictatorship (1876–1910).

Este artículo examina la manera en que Próspero Cahuantzi, gobernador de Tlaxcala entre 1885 y 1911, reclamó para sí su legado indígena. Cahuantzi afirmó su carácter indígena colaborando con las campañas de construcción nacional del gobierno porfiriano que glorificaban el pasado indígena de México. En el artículo se revisa cómo Cahuantzi recolectó, difundió y protegió los objetos y la historia indígenas. Mediante sus acciones, entre las que se contó pronunciar discursos en náhuatl en el Décimo Primer Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ciudad de México, 1895), Cahuantzi se congració con las élites nacionales e internacionales. Así, el artículo muestra cómo la condición indígena de Cahuantzi le ayudó a mantener un puesto político permanente en la dictadura de Porfirio Díaz (1876–1910).
Lobectomy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer: indications and follow-up
Authors: Park Jae Hyun , Yoon Jong Ho
Published: April 2019

The extent of thyroid surgery for patients with low- and intermediate-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), with a primary tumour <4 cm and no extrathyroidal extension (ETE) or lymph node (LN) metastases, has shifted in a more conservative direction. However, clinicopathological risk factors, including microscopic ETE, aggressive histology, vascular invasion in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and intermediate volume of LN metastases, can only be identified after completing thyroid lobectomy. It is controversial whether patients with these risk factors should immediately undergo complete thyroidectomy and/or radioactive iodine remnant ablation or should be monitored without further treatments. Data are conflicting about the prognostic impact of these risk factors on clinical DTC outcomes. Notably, the recurrence rate in patients who underwent thyroid lobectomy is low and the few recurrences that develop during long-term follow-up can readily be detected by neck ultrasonography and treated by salvage surgery with no impact on survival. These findings suggest that a more conservative approach may be a preferred management strategy over immediate completion surgery, despite a slightly higher risk of structural recurrence. Regarding follow-up of post-lobectomy DTC patients, it is reasonable that an initial risk stratification system based on clinicohistological findings be used to guide the short-term follow-up prior to evaluating the response to initial therapy and that the dynamic risk stratification system based on the response to initial therapy be used to guide long-term follow-up.
Caries risk assessment using Cariogram model among smokeless tobacco users in India
Authors: Sen Nandini , Bathija Pratiksha , Chakravarty Tulip , Das Diptajit , Baghel Nidhi Singh , Khan Tauseef Ahmad
Published: April 2019

Background. Smokeless tobacco forms are known to have fermentable sugar compounds which may strengthen the development of cariogenic microbes. In addition, cervical abrasion of teeth occur at the site of tobacco pouch placement. These components may assume an essential role in caries advancement in smokeless tobacco users.
Objective. The objective of the study was to assess caries risk among smokeless tobacco users using Cariogram model.
Methods. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 50 smokeless tobacco users of Udaipur for 3 months. Caries risk assessment was done by employing a proforma survey based on the Cariogram Model. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and Stepwise multiple linear regression with 95% confidence interval and 5% significance level.
Results. The majority of the smokeless tobacco users (46%) were found to be in the “Moderate” Streptococcus mutans count category and portrayed “Moderate” plaque amount score (82%). Smokeless tobacco users (34%) depicted a higher caries risk profile than the control group (6%) utilizing the Cariogram model.
Conclusion. Cariogram model could be a useful tool to represent caries risk among smokeless tobacco users.

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: To describe sociodemographic variables and verify changes in white blood cells of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).METHODS: Cross-sectional retrospective study that used secondary data of patients with OSCC, attended at the Oral Medicine Service of the School of Dentistry of ULBRA, between 2010 and 2014.RESULTS: 87.3% of the population were male, white (71%), age superior to 60 years (38.7%), urban worker (61.3%), without changing in the overall health at query time (67.7%) and residents of the municipality of Canoas/RS (93.6%). The most prevalent injuries sites were the buccal floor, alveolar ridge, corners of the mouth and gums (61.3%). 74.2% of the sample were smokers and 45.2% drinkers. As for the WBC, most patients presented values within the normal range: total leukocytes (77.4%), lymphocytes (87.1%) and neutrophils (96.8%). CONCLUSION: The profile of the sample was consistent with literature: white males over the age of 40 years, smokers/former-smokers and alcoholics/ex-alcoholics. The patients did not show changes in the white blood cells (leukogram) values. It is recommended that more research should be conducted in this area of knowledge, due to the importance of the subject.

Authors: Moreira Monica , Nascimento Mariana Machado Fidelis do , Poletto Mariane Moreira , Kliisiowicz Débora Do Rocio , Gomes Renata Rodrigues , Vicente Vânia Aparecida
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: Caries is a multifactorial infectious disease and the main etiological agent is the bacteria Streptococcus mutans due to its virulence factors, which enable the adherence to dental enamel and favours the formation of dental biofilm through the production of extracellular polysaccharides. The transmission of S. mutans can occur between people, often within families. The present study aimed to evaluate the intrafamily genetic pattern of S. mutans through partial sequencing of the gene that encodes the glucosyltransferase β (gtfB) enzyme.METHODS: We previously analyzed saliva samples from 40 individuals from nine families, and it was obtained 64 isolates biochemically characterized as S. mutans. The isolates were evaluated by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Those with greater similarity were characterized by partial sequence 16S rRNA gene and the gtfB gene sequencing.RESULTS: It was observed genetic similarity among strains isolated from individuals with caries activity; while isolates from individual without caries showed that they are genetically distinct, suggesting a different virulence pattern.CONCLUSION: The present results demonstrated that partial sequencing of the gtfB gene showed to be a potential marker to investigate genetic pattern and virulence of S. mutans, deserving further investigation in order to identify families at risk of caries.
Multiple supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Lima Paula Loures Valle , Lima Francisco Loures Valle , Rodriguez Christian Giancarlo Bernal , Iglecias Elaine Faga , Francisconi-dos-Rios Luciana Fávaro
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: Supernumerary teeth (ST) are associated with many complications that include tooth impaction, ectopic eruption, and abnormal development of root. The usual treatment is the extraction, although repositioning in the dental arch may sometimes be an alternative. The present study reports the treatment of a case of multiple supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient.CASE DESCRIPTION: A 16-year-old male patient presented two ST in each side of the jaw, detected by panoramic radiography. Syndromes or systemic diseases were not revealed by the anamnesis/ general health history. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) showed that the teeth were positioned in the lingual region between the inferior premolars at both right and left sides. Surgical therapy was the treatment of choice, in order to avoid possible eruption.CONCLUSION: An early and accurate diagnosis is extremely important for treatment decision and success, thus avoiding future complications often related to ST.

Common Starling Sturnus vulgaris expansion in South Africa
Authors: Ivanova Ielyzaveta M. , Symes Craig T.
Published: April 2019

The Common Starling Sturnus vulgaris has progressively expanded its range in South Africa since its introduction into Cape Town in the late 19th century. In the past few decades it has extended this range into Gauteng province. Using data from the Southern African Bird Atlas Project 2, this paper examines the spread and relative abundance changes for the species across South Africa over the past 10 years, with a detailed look at the recently-colonised Gauteng. Across South Africa, the Common Starling's distribution has shifted, and grown. As it spreads north along the coastline and northwards inland, some of the former range has been lost. In Gauteng, the species has shown a range and abundance expansion over the same period. If the observed trends are to continue, this species is likely to eventually become a prominent species across the entire country, and further north into the sub-region. However, the potential impact that this species has on indigenous avifauna is unknown and, in the face of rapid anthropogenic change, remains to be investigated.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration Benefit-Risk Assessment of Nilotinib Treatment Discontinuation in Patients with Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in a Sustained Molecular Remission
Authors: Pulte E. Dianne , Wroblewski Tanya , Bloomquist Erik , Tang Shenghui , Farrell Ann , Deisseroth Albert , McKee Amy E. , Pazdur Richard
Published: April 2019

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated the product label for nilotinib to include information for providers on how to discontinue this drug in certain patients. With the updated dosing recommendations, select patients with chronic phase myeloid leukemia (CML) taking nilotinib for 3 years or more and whose leukemia has responded with sustained molecular remission (MR4.5, BCR-ABL transcripts of ≤0.0032%) as determined by a FDA-approved test may be eligible to discontinue nilotinib. The updated dosing regimen was based on the efficacy results from two trials that measured how long patients could stop taking nilotinib without the leukemia returning (treatment-free remission). Trial results demonstrated that, among selected patients who received nilotinib as first-line therapy or after transition from imatinib, approximately 50% continued to be in remission at 96 weeks after stopping therapy. Relapses continued to occur throughout the study, indicating that long-term monitoring is needed for safety and disease monitoring. Discontinuation of treatment was associated with an increased risk of low grade musculoskeletal adverse events, some of which were prolonged. Overall, the results support the approval of updates to the dosing recommendations with regard to treatment discontinuation in selected patients who have received nilotinib for at least 3 years, are in a sustained molecular remission, and who can undergo appropriate monitoring.

Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, tipo série temporal, que analisou indicadores epidemiológicos e operacionais da Hanseníase no município de Aracaju, capital do estado de Sergipe,de 2003 a 2017. Resultados: Entre 2003 e 2017, a taxa de detecção da hanseníase manteve-se decrescente, com tendência anual de queda de 8,63% na população geral e 9,32% em menores de 15 anos. Durante este período, houve tendência a aumento do diagnóstico e tratamento da hanseníase pela Atenção Primária. A cura dos casos manteve-se estável e a proporção de contatos examinados apresentou um significativo incremento, saindo de 20,6%, em 2003, para 82,9%, em 2017. Identifica-se também uma tendência progressiva da queda na detecção das formas paucibacilares em detrimento das multibacilares. Conclusão: Há uma tendência de redução da detecção da hanseníase em Aracaju em todas as faixas etárias, porém, a região ainda é considerada de alta endemicidade. É possível perceber o crescimento do papel da Atenção Primária entre 2003 e 2017, além do aumento significativo do exame dos contatos, ferramenta importante no diagnóstico e tratamento precoce. Embora os indicadores de saúde tenham mostrado melhorias, esse avanço permanece insuficiente para adequado controle da doença.

Imagination and Creativity: Cultural–Historical Approach
Authors: Kravtsov G.G. , Kravtsova E.E.
Published: April 2019

Consideration of the concept of imagination in the context of cultural-historical psychology led to the conclusion that there are two differently directed processes. One process involves making sense of things in the outside world and the present situation, that is, it means understanding and rethinking external objects and situations. Another process involves the construction of a new image that allows you to see and understand the surrounding reality in a new way. This allows the authors to say that, on the one hand, imagination is aimed at acting with external reality, and, on the other hand, the inner work of creating a new subject of imagination. Based on the analysis of empirical materials studying the development of imagination and creativity, the authors obtained experimental proof of the idea of L.S. Vygotsky that images of imagination are realized in creativity and come to the conclusion about the possibility of purposeful development of creativity in ontogenesis. Authors connect the purposeful development of creativity with theatrical pedagogy, in which training and education are realized with the help of theatrical methods. Theatrical methods, according to the authors, are methods by which you can set an imaginary situation and, at the same time, these are methods that allow the viewer to be included in theatrical action.

ESQUELETOS, CATRINAS Y JUDAS EN EL UNIVERSO DECORATIVO DE DIEGO RIVERA

Skeletons, Skulls (Calacas) and Judas in the Decorative Universe of Diego Rivera
Authors: Ruiz Gómez Ariadna Lorea
Published: April 2019

El artista mexicano Diego Rivera encarga dos viviendas para él y Frida Kahlo al arquitecto Juan O´Gorman. Quién les realiza un proyecto completamente moderno, usando un lenguaje lecorbusiano basado en un funcionalismo radical, de paramentos lisos, sin decoración.  En el interior sigue las mismas premisas y diseña desde el fregadero de la cocina a los muebles, todo dentro de una estética minimalista y sencilla.Lo que sorprende al estudiar el mobiliario y los elementos decorativos del estudio de Rivera es que, han perdurado los muebles de metal que diseñó O´Gorman, además de los que el muralista fue comprando, la mayoría realizados por artesanos mexicanos y de una estética tradicional. Pero sobre todo nos llama la atención, y es en este punto en el que centramos nuestra investigación, el que Rivera adornó de manera profusa su estudio, con mas de 140 enormes piezas, algunas de más de dos metros de altura, realizadas en cartón, que representan esqueletos y figuras de judas.
EL MOBILIARIO DE SACRISTÍA EN LA IGLESIA PARROQUIAL DE SANTIAGO DE ORIHUELA: DEL ROCOCÓ AL ACADEMICISMO

 Vestry Furniture in the Parish Church of Santiago de Orihuela: from Rococo to Academicism
Authors: Cecilia Espinosa Mariano , Ruiz Ángel Gemma
Published: April 2019

La iglesia parroquial de Santiago de Orihuela, construida en las postrimerías del Gótico, experimentó una renovación decorativa a finales del siglo XVIII marcada por el academicismo, y en concreto, por las directrices de la academia valenciana. Este nuevo clasicismo presente en el ámbito arquitectónico interior del templo, en la escultura o la pintura de sus capillas, se reflejará en el ámbito del mobiliario, como es el caso de la cajonería de su sacristía renacentista, obra de uno de los grandes maestros del Renacimiento español, Jerónimo Quijano, aspecto que evidencia como los cambios estéticos en los templos inciden también en el mobiliario, significativamente en aquellos espacios singulares como son las sacristías. En este mueble de sacristía se materializó de manera ejemplar la transición del Rococó al Neoclasicismo.

Published: April 2019

Introducción: El uso de especies exóticas como materias primas en biorrefinerías puede impulsar el desarrollo sostenible de regiones como la Amazonía; sin embargo, se considera pertinente generar más estudios experimentales previos, que permitan evaluar su potencialidad técnica, aplicada en este caso específicamente con la cáscara de Copoazú.
Objetivo: El objetivo de este artículo es determinar la cinética de gasificación del carbonizado resultado de la pirólisis de la cáscara de Copoazú.
Metodología: En este trabajo se utilizó el análisis termogravimétrico acoplado a espectroscopía de masas (TGMS), para establecer la distribución de los productos de la gasificación y la cinética de la descomposición del carbonizado, subproducto de la pirólisis de las cáscaras de copoazú. La materia prima fue caracterizada por FTIR y se utilizaron tres velocidades de calentamiento diferentes para el proceso termoquímico.
Resultados: Los parámetros cinéticos del proceso de gasificación se obtuvieron ajustando los datos experimentales con tres modelos diferentes, obteniéndose un buen ajuste al modelo DAEM con tres conjuntos de reacciones.
Conclusiones: Los datos obtenidos pueden utilizarse para modelar las reacciones de gasificación del carbonizado de esta materia prima. La cinética de producción de la mayoría de las moléculas que se detectaron con una abundancia relativa alta se pudo relacionar con las reacciones de descomposición térmica del carbonizado de la cáscara de Copoazú, de acuerdo con el modelo DAEM.
Psicologia e Ensino Superior: Aspirações Pequeno-Burguesas e Contradições Cotidianas em Cotistas
Authors: Ribeiro Flávia De Mendonça , Guzzo Raquel Souza Lobo
Published: April 2019

Esse artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a importância do trabalho da Psicologia acompanhando estudantes cotistas frente às suas aspirações e contradições cotidianas no Ensino Superior. A partir de uma leitura crítica da conjuntura brasileira e do sistema educacional, apresentaremos como a criação de ações afirmativas para a inserção de negros e da classe trabalhadora no Ensino Superior foi de suma importância para a democratização do acesso à educação, além de indicar a existência de um importante campo para a ação da Psicologia em espaços universitários. O trabalho consistiu em identificar estudantes cotistas por meio de um questionário online e, para este artigo, escolheu-se respostas de um estudante que apresentou questões relacionadas a suas aspirações e sua experiência de vida construindo, assim, um estudo de caso. As respostas do participante foram categorizadas em contradições cotidianas e aspirações pequeno-burguesas, e nos permitiu concluir sobre a importância da Psicologia para apoio e suporte às políticas de ações afirmativas existentes integrando essas estudantes na comunidade universitária, além de auxiliá-las no enfrentamento ao sofrimento psíquico nas vivências universitárias cotidianas e processo de tomada de consciência.
Consultoria em Psicologia Escolar: Relato de experiência
Authors: Jager Márcia Elisa , Patias Naiana Dapieve
Published: April 2019

O fortalecimento de ações em Psicologia Escolar, pela via da consultoria, possui relação com o desenvolvimento histórico da especialidade no país, uma vez que não conquistou sua colocação legalizada nas escolas públicas, permanecendo sua atuação restrita a escolas privadas. Este artigo descreve as ações extensionistas iniciais desenvolvidas no projeto de extensão “Consultoria em Psicologia Escolar: proposta interventiva em queixas escolares”, vinculadas a uma Universidade do interior do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. As ações contemplaram o mapeamento de queixas escolares da rede municipal de ensino da cidade e o desenvolvimento de ações interventivas planejadas a partir das demandas identificadas, tais como grupos com alunos e com professores. Ainda, pela via de relatório do mapeamento das queixas escolares, buscou-se propor intervenções futuras junto à equipe da Secretaria Municipal de Educação. As ações extensionistas proporcionaram um novo olhar às experiências escolares na medida em que as queixas puderam ser compreendidas para além do atendimento individual e intervenções familiares já realizadas pela equipe de Psicologia Escolar da cidade. A partir das práticas desenvolvidas, as ações do projeto de extensão passaram a compor uma alternativa de encaminhamentos junto à equipe de Psicologia Escolar da Secretaria Municipal de Educação.
