LA CHIESA DI SANTA LUCIA DI GUANE - BARICHARA: ANALISI STRUTTURALE PER LA SUA SALVAGUARDIA
Authors: Paradiso Michele , Bini Chiara , Crescenzi Natascia , Gómez Arciniegas Carlos Humberto
Published: August 2019

L’articolo si riferisce allo stato di degrado strutturale della Chiesa di Santa Lucia, in Guane, Comune di Barichara, nel Dipartimento di Santander (Colombia). Lo studio fu effettuato negli anni 2012-2013 in collaborazione con la Facoltà di Architettura dell’Universidad Santo Tomás, sede Bucaramanga. E’ stata applicata la metodologia tipica indicata dalle Carte Internazionali del Restauro di ICOMOS-UNESCO. Il quadro fessurativo, complesso e preoccupante, che presentava la Chiesa, Monumento Nazionale, alla data della presa in carico del lavoro, é conseguente al cedimento verticale delle fondazioni, peraltro molto scarse, dell’angolata destra in facciata principale. Lo studio che qui si presenta indica le soluzioni di messa in sicurezza dell’edificio e le ipotesi di massima per un suo consolidamento, con tecniche non invasive. L’occasione di questo racconto é per gli autori, anche l’occasione per riflettere sulle dinamiche di gestione a livello nazionale, della conservazione del patrimono storico costruito. Dinamiche che appaiono lente, estremamente burocratizzate e accompagnate da scarso dialogo tra le istituzioni preposte alla salvaguardia del bene storico. Il lavoro si é poi concretizzato, per le due coautrici, nella loro tesi di laurea in architettura, discussa presso la Facoltà di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze nell’a.a. 2012-2013.

Authors: Talei Simin Asadzadeh , Bouzari Sepideh , Bagheri Sakineh
Published: August 2019

Compensation for losses in the law is certain and the civil liability system is designed to respond to this need. Nowadays, it is necessary to check compensation in different fields, and specialists in each field are seeking data to recognize liability issues and even reduce the risk of liability in their work. The legal recognition of the subject is necessary because the field of remote sensing and mapping is one of the fields with many activists and plays an important role in various aspects of the life of the community, but many people still do not have any data about their rights, and even those involved in this field as producers or consumers does not have legal data on this issue, and due to the involvement of this data in the lives of individuals and the existence of relevant cases in the judiciary. Therefore, the accurate recognition of this issue will cause questions in this field to be answered in law. And lawyers and judges can also rely on the recognition and analysis of this issue to avoid error and work more efficiently.Key words: Liability, Remote Sensing, Fault, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
Recursos no renovables, diversificación y actividad económica en los departamentos de Colombia
Authors: Saldarriaga Isaza Carlos Adrián , Pacheco Flórez Melisa
Published: August 2019

En este artículo se discute qué tan deseable es la diversificación económica para el desempeño económico de los departamentos de Colombia en el periodo 1985-2013. En cuanto a la teoría económica se refiere, la causalidad entre estas dos variables es ambigua. Para ayudar a entender esta causalidad, los datos disponibles se analizan a la luz de dos corrientes teóricas: estructuralismo y el enfoque neoclásico. Se evidencia que la gran concentración en la extracción de minería e hidrocarburos ha estado asociada positivamente con la tasa de crecimiento del PIB per cápita, coincidiendo con un desplazamiento de las demás actividades productivas y extractivas. Dada la alta —co—relación positiva entre las variables analizadas, independientemente del enfoque bajo el cual se lleve a cabo el análisis, los resultados econométricos obtenidos serán significativos. Se discuten brevemente las implicaciones de estos resultados para la política económica y una futura agenda de investigación.
Immunomodulatory and antimicrobial effects of vitamin C
Authors: Mousavi Soraya , Bereswill Stefan , Heimesaat Markus M.
Published: August 2019

Humans have lost their vitamin C-synthesizing capacities during evolution. Therefore, the uptake of this essential compound from external sources is mandatory in order to prevent vitamin C-deficient conditions resulting in severe morbidities such as scurvy. The potent antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiinfectious effects of vitamin C are known since the 1930s. We here (i) review the impact of vitamin C on innate and adaptive immune functions, (ii) provide an overview of its antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antifungal properties, and finally, (iii) discuss vitamin C as an adjunct treatment option for the combat of human infections by bacteria, particularly by emerging multidrug-resistant species.
Reach for your cell phone at your own risk: The cognitive costs of media choice for breaks
Authors: Kang Sanghoon , Kurtzberg Terri R.
Published: August 2019

Introduction

Since there is steady increase in cell phone addiction, the act of reaching for a phone between tasks, or even mid-task, is becoming more commonplace, without a true understanding about the potential cognitive costs of taking a break in this way as opposed to taking a break through another medium.

Methods

This experimental study included 414 participants who completed a cognitively demanding task (solving anagrams) either on paper or on a computer screen. Participants in three of four randomly assigned conditions engaged in a break task (selecting items for a hypothetical shopping list) either on a cell phone, a larger computer screen, or on a paper in the middle of the task. The fourth condition had participants engaging in both halves of the cognitive task with no break.

Results

The results show that using cell phone for a break did not allow brain to recharge as effectively as the other types of breaks, both in terms of being able to perform quickly and efficiently in the second half of the task (how long it took to complete), and in terms of performance (how many anagrams were successfully solved in the second half).

Discussion and conclusions

As people are increasingly addicted to their cell phones, it is important to know the unintended costs associated with reaching for this device every spare minute. Although people may assume that it is not different from any other kind of interaction or break, this study shows that the phone might be more cognitively taxing than expected.
A importância do Estado laico e da inspiração religiosa na construção da justiça: considerações de Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Mariani Ceci Maria Costa Baptista , Amadeu Robison Moreli , Salles Walter Ferreira
Published: August 2019

Em diversas ocasiões, Ricoeur afirma que o conceito de justiça pode ser pensado mediante o desígnio de uma vida boa, com e para o outros, em instituições justas. Desta máxima, procedem os predicados bom (teleologia) e legal (deontologia). A construção da justiça, sendo assim, depende não só de mecanismos institucionais, mas também da íntima convicção oriunda da sabedoria prática de cada sujeito que leva à boa deliberação em situações contingentes e o dado religioso é uma das fontes de inspiração dos indivíduos nas suas escolhas. Tendo isso em vista, essa pesquisa tem como objetivo empreender uma reflexão sobre o papel da religião nas esferas da justiça a partir do diálogo entre a tradição cristã e a contemporânea sociedade secular.
The Protestant Principle and the Situation of the Precariat : a new Approach to Paul Tillich
Authors: Dumer Pablo Fernando
Published: August 2019

This paper discusses, after a rereading of the paper “The Protestant Principle and the Proletarian Situation”, the role of churches in the face of the precariatization of work. The policy of precariatization of work is not accidental, but a demand of the new world economic order. That policy has consequences which challenge Theology to reflect its role in the world. The role and message of Protestant theology are a protest that precarious life is precious. Initially we will analyze the situation of the contemporary proletariat that is here defined as precariat. After that we will reflect on the Protestant principle according to Paul Tillich and the applications to today’s context. Finally we will consider some clues to think about the role of Protestantism in the current context.
Seismogenic nodes as a viable alternative to seismogenic zones and observed seismicity for the definition of seismic hazard at regional scale
Authors: Rugarli Paolo , Vaccari Franco , Panza Giuliano
Published: August 2019

A fixed increment of magnitude is equivalent to multiply the seismic moment by a factor γEM related to the partial factor γq acting on the seismic moment representing the fault. A comparison is made between the hazard maps obtained with the Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA), using two different approaches: one based on the events magnitude, listed in parametric earthquake catalogues compiled for the study areas, with sources located within the seismogenic zones; the other uses the seismogenic nodes identified by means of pattern recognition techniques applied to morphostructural zonation (MSZ), and increases the reference magnitude by a constant amount tuned by the safety factor γEM.Using γEM=2.0, in most of the territory the two approaches produce totally independent, comparable hazard maps, based on the quite long Italian catalogue. This represents a validation of the seismogenic nodes method and a tuning of the safety factor γEM at about 2.

Published: August 2019

SAR Interferometry (InSAR) is a technique to measure land subsidence and can build a subsidence map on a large spatial scale with high accuracy. The study presented the application of PSInSAR for determining the subsidence of the central area of Hanoi through Terrasar-X data set from 2010 to 2015, with 23 images. The result shows that some area has the high subsidence in the districts of Hanoi such as Hoang Mai, Ha Dong and the slow subsidence such as Dong Da, Hai Ba Trung with subsidence velocity is less than -10mm/year. Besides, the correlation between ground subsidence measured by PSInSAR and subsidence monitoring of building CC02 Van Quan in Ha Dong district for the same period was computed with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.94. The PSInSAR technique can detect and estimate subsidence phenomena effectively with X-band.1.

Physiological potential of seeds and morphological characterization of Campomanesia adamantium seedlings
Authors: Leão-Araújo Érica Fernandes , Souza Eli Regina Barboza de , Peixoto Nei , Gomes-Júnior Francisco Guilhien
Published: August 2019

Abstract The cultivation of native fruit species depends on the existence of consistent technical and scientific information on the germination and vigor of seeds for efficient management by seedling producers. The evaluation of the physiological potential of seeds is performed through germination and vigor tests, which must be standardized to ensure the generation of accurate information. For Campomanesia adamantium, information on parameters for conducting physiological tests is scarce. The aims of this work were (i) to evaluate the effect of temperature and seed positioning on the substrate for seed germination and vigor, and (ii) to characterize and describe the essential structures and main types of seedling abnormality. After harvest, fruits were pulped and, after seed extraction, germination tests were carried out for 42 days at three temperatures (20, 25 and 30 °C), with seeds positioned in the germination substrate in two ways (between paper and on paper). Seed vigor was evaluated by means of the first germination count (performed on the 20th day) and the germination rate index. The temperature and substrate interaction did not influence variables under study. The position of seeds on the substrate did not influence the physiological potential results. No differences were observed between seed germination temperatures; however, seeds submitted to germination at 25 °C showed higher vigor compared to the other temperatures. Germination and vigor tests, based on seedling performance, should be performed at constant temperature of 25 °C and seed positioning between paper and on paper may be used. Germination in C. adamantium was characterized as epigeal.

Abstract Objective: To perform a quantitative analysis of the brain volume of elderly individuals in a population-based sample. Materials and Methods: This was a radiological assessment and voxel-based quantitative analysis, with surface alignment, of 525 magnetic resonance imaging scans of individuals between 60 and 103 years of age who participated in the Saúde, Bem-estar e Envelhecimento (Health, Well-being, and Aging) study in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: We noted a median rate of reduction in total brain volume of 2.4% per decade after 60 years of age. Gray and white matter both showed volume reductions with age. The total brain volume/intracranial brain volume ratio differed between males and females. Conclusion: We have corroborated the findings of studies conducted in the United States and Europe. The total brain volume/intracranial brain volume ratio is higher in men, representing a potential bias for the conventional radiological assessment of atrophy, which is typically based on the evaluation of the cerebrospinal fluid spaces.
Environmental exposure to benzene: evaluation of urinary S-PMA and polymorphism (CYP2E1-1293G>C and NQO1 609C>T) in Campos Elíseos residents, Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Published: August 2019

Benzene is one of the most important substances for assessment, due to its significant use, the environmental contamination resulting from its emission and the effects on human health. It is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a known carcinogen to humans (group 1) and associated with the development of leukemia. In general, the population is exposed to this substance by inhaling contaminated air, which varies according to the location and intensity of its potential sources. The petrochemical industry is one of the most important sources of this compound. The municipality of Duque de Caxias, specifically the Campos Elíseos district, in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, houses the Industrial Complex of Campos Elíseos (PICE), a grouping of over 25 industries, which includes the second largest oil refinery in Brazil. Environmental contamination from the PICE has been recognized, but there is a lack of studies concerning its impact on the health of the surrounding population. S-phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) concentrations ranging from 0.80 to 8.01μg.g-1 creatinine were observed in the local population, apparently related to hematological changes also observed in exposed population. The quantifiable presence of urinary S-PMA from the benzene metabolism is associated with the fact that 60% of the participants present specific hematological changes, which may be due to the environmental benzene exposure. The allele and genotype frequencies of the CYP2E1 and NQO1 enzymes observed in the study population were similar to those reported in other studies. The presence of the variant allele in the NQO1 genotype may be a risk factor for the observed hematological changes.

Authors: Martins Rhéltheer de Paula , Gomes Roseli Aparecida da Silva , Malpass Ana Claudia Granato , Okura Mônica Hitomi
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT: The essential oils of the different parts of Lavandula dentata L. (inflorescences and aerial part without inflorescences) collected in the city of Uberaba (minas Gerais State)were obtained by hydro distillation, and their chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and compared to the chemical composition of essential oil of Lavandula hybrida and Lavandula officinalis. It was observed that the essential oils of the studied species have varied chemical composition and are composed mainly of monoterpenes. The essential oils of L. hybrida and L. officinalis showed a higher concentration of linalool and linaline acetate, while L. dentata L. presented higher concentration of fenchone, eucalyptol and camphor. Results indicate that the essential oil composition of L. dentata L. grown in Uberaba is similar to those produced in Curitiba - PR, providing a promising perspective for the cultivation and extraction of essential oils of this species in Minas Gerais.

Published: August 2019

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the existing relationship between Quality of Life at Work (QWL) and personal quality of life, identifying factors that determinate the satisfaction and the employees’ turnover in hotel business. The high turnover of staff in the hotel business is a reality and eventually it is related to the payment offered by the sector, however, it is not only dependent on this aspect. The methodological approach included structured questionnaire, semi-structured interview and Likert-type scale structured questionnaire. The identified factors were related to the working environment and payment, which affect the employees’ satisfaction, the commitment to the contracting company, the quality of the work performed and also the staff turnover. The results showed that the hotels which offered better working conditions brought positive changes to their working environment, improved the quality of the selling product and the employees’ quality of life, increased customers’ satisfaction, reduced the staff turnover and raised the company profit.

Abstract The objective of this article is to select land for commercial buildings in Rio de Janeiro city using multiple criteria decision-making techniques. The techniques used were based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Logic methods. These methods were chosen because of functionality, flexibility and great application in engineering problems for decision making involving multiple criteria. Its application was made through an opinion survey with expert builders, where 6 (six) factors for evaluation were selected in 10 (ten) commercial land alternatives. For the analytical operation of the methods, the software used were: Super Decisions and MATLAB®, respectively for each method, presenting the factors classified, in order of priority, in the selection of land, and ranking of the alternatives according to the defined scenario, facilitating in this way the process of selection of land for buildings, establishing a scientific way for the decision process.
Economic approach to cognition (AEC) in work safety
Authors: Bouyer Gilbert Cardoso
Published: August 2019

Abstract This article presents a new approach on human cognition in work activity: an economic approach to cognition (EAC). Workers share a common world in which they understand and act in tune. This common world is called Umwelt or genus. An external observer does not have the same vision and the same understanding of the workers in his Umwelt. This explains the lack of understanding of an accident at work. Another point addressed was the three-level model of behavior (knowledge, rules and skills) proposed by Rasmussen. We affirm that this model is incorrect because the action occurs with the simultaneous presence of the three levels, horizontally, and not the hierarchical form proposed by this author.

Published: August 2019

Abstract The residue generated by industrial activities represents a cost, since the generators are responsible for its management, transportation, treatment and disposal. Rio Grande do Norte State in Brazil is the greatest producer of scheelite residue. The aim of this research was to characterize this mining residue, identify its similarity with natural sand and produce a coating mortar with it. In the composition of mortar, a Brazilian Portland cement type CPII-F32 and an industrialized calcium hydroxide as a binder were used. Laser granulometry, bulk and relative density, EDX, XRD and thermal analysis were done to obtain a physical and chemical characterization of the residue. Mechanical tests (tensile bond strength and compressive strength), SEM and water absorption test were done to analyze the behavior of mortar. All tests confirmed that mechanical properties were according to standards for tile mortar.
Properties of zirconia-containing glass-ionomer cement
Authors: Melo T. M. T. C. , Oliveira I. R. de , Brandim A. S. , Soares L. E. S.
Published: August 2019

Abstract Glass-ionomer cements (GICs) are used as restorative dental materials due to their capacity to chemically adhere to enamel and dentin, low thermal expansion coefficient, and compatibility with dental structures. However, these materials have low resistance to wear and fracture. In this work, zirconia-reinforced GICs were prepared to evaluate the influence of particle size as well as ZrO2 content on their properties. All evaluated composites presented compressive strength values above the pure GIC strength. The highest compressive strength values were obtained with the addition of 8.5 wt% ZrO2. The average roughness obtained was not significantly changed compared to commercial GIC and the lowest value was for the composite with 10 wt% ZrO2 (50 mesh). In the microhardness test, the highest values were obtained with the addition of 8.5 wt% of ZrO2. Therefore, the results indicated that the addition of ZrO2 to GIC is an effective alternative to improve the quality of dental restorations.

Resumo O processo Kraft gera resíduos que podem ser aplicados em diversos processos produtivos, substituindo matérias-primas comerciais, como lama de cal e areia, ricos em carbonato de cálcio e sílica, respectivamente. Neste trabalho foi realizado um estudo para obtenção de cerâmicas porosas a partir da valorização desses resíduos, utilizando-se fibras poliméricas para a interconectividade dos poros. Conforme NBR 10004, os resíduos classificaram-se como não perigosos e inertes (classe II-B). Variaram-se três teores de fibras (12, 20 e 28 vol%) e três temperaturas de queima (1100, 1130 e 1160 ºC). As cerâmicas porosas confeccionadas apresentaram porosidade total de 39% a 53%, resistência à compressão de 15 a 52 MPa e tamanho médio de poros de 2,0 a 7,5 µm. Classificaram-se como cerâmicas para microfiltração, abrangendo filtração de água e gases quentes (aerossóis). A formulação com teor de 28 vol% de fibras e sinterizada a 1160 ºC apresentou melhor relação porosidade/resistência mecânica.

Published: August 2019

Abstract This study characterized discarded sanitary ware waste (SWW) that could not meet quality requirements. To understand the composition of such SWW, samples were collected, processed, and characterized. This SWW was used to substitute granite in ceramic slips, and the final recycled sanitary ware compositions of 5%, 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% were obtained. Then, the mixtures were evaluated based on density, rheology, linear shrinkage, water absorption, and flexural strength. The results for viscosity and pyroplastic deformation in specimens containing the ceramic waste were better than the reference slip used in a production line. Results for density, water absorption and linear shrinkage showed no significant difference from the control samples. Although the replacement of more than 5% of granite reduced the flexural strength, no tested specimen was below the minimum value required by the industry.
Systems developed for application as self-cleaning surfaces and/or antimicrobial properties: a short review on materials and production methods
Authors: Madeira M. P. , Lobo A. O. , Viana B. C. , Silva Filho E. C. , Osajima J. A.
Published: August 2019

Abstract Herein we present a short review of different materials and techniques that have been used for the production of surfaces with self-cleaning and/or antimicrobial properties. From this, it was verified that titanium dioxide was the most frequently used compound to obtain surfaces with these properties; however, other materials such as silica, zinc and silver have also been used for this purpose. The spin-coating and dip-coating techniques were the most used techniques, and the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were the most used in the antimicrobial assays. The analyzed studies showed that it is possible to obtain surfaces with both self-cleaning and/or antimicrobial properties, as well as with photocatalytic activity. Regarding possible applications, it is possible to highlight the interest in the production of glass and medical devices with self-cleaning and/or antimicrobial action.
Estratégias de impolidez como propriedades definidoras de interações polêmicas
Authors: Cunha Gustavo Ximenes
Published: August 2019

RESUMO Adotando contribuições teórico-metodológicas da Análise do Discurso interacionista, partimos da hipótese de que as interações polêmicas possuem três propriedades estruturais características: 1) expansão da interação com reações negativas e contra-proposições, 2) ausência de ratificação e 3) processos de negociação secundários. Por meio da análise de um excerto de uma sessão do Superior Tribunal Federal, verificamos que essas propriedades atuam como estratégias de impolidez que permitem caracterizar uma interação como polêmica ou conflituosa.
A relevância regional nas estratégias partidárias: evidências das listas de candidatos de São Paulo
Authors: Silotto Graziele
Published: August 2019

Resumo Introdução: A literatura descreve sistemas proporcionais de lista aberta como centrados em candidatos. Nesse contexto, o papel dos partidos políticos seria pífio. Este trabalho argumenta que, mesmo com constrangimentos institucionais, há espaço para ação estratégica dos partidos na competição eleitoral. Argumenta-se que partidos formam suas listas de candidatos como uma função do distrito eleitoral, garantindo a diminuição ou ausência da competição intrapartidária no território com a regionalização das listas de candidatos. Materiais e Métodos: A análise inclui listas de candidatos para as eleições federais legislativas entre 2002 e 2014 no distrito de São Paulo (M = 70), exploradas à luz do fluxo socioeconômico de pessoas e informações do estado e o histórico de filiação e carreira desses políticos ao longo do tempo (1994-2014). Resultados: Os resultados evidenciam que candidaturas dificilmente se sobrepõem no interior de um partido/região. Elas são distribuídas em constituencies no interior do distrito, de acordo com o potencial eleitoral de cada região. Discussão: Em diálogo com a geografia eleitoral, os achados sugerem que partidos empreendem estratégias identificáveis na formação de suas listas de candidatos. E, como consequência, conseguem contornar a competição intrapartidária. Em contraste com a literatura, essas evidências não resultam necessariamente de estratégias personalistas, mas da ação partidária para atingir um maior sucesso eleitoral, sugerindo uma alternativa teórica, empiricamente verificada, à clássica abordagem distributivista por meio da qual as dinâmicas em sistemas de lista aberta, sobretudo no Brasil, são geralmente analisadas.
A vida política dos documentos: notas sobre burocratas, políticas e papéis
Authors: Hoyler Telma , Campos Pedro
Published: August 2019

Resumo Introdução: O artigo trata de um tema ainda pouco abordado nos estudos sobre burocracia e políticas públicas, qual seja, os efeitos de documentos sobre a atuação de burocratas, sobre políticas públicas e sobre a política no Estado. Com isso pretendemos abrir um debate sobre a importância dos documentos entendidos como instrumentos de ação pública, bem como aprofundar a investigação sobre burocratas, em especial os de médio escalão e os que serão aqui denominados de back-office. Materiais e Métodos: A pesquisa decorre de uma etnografia das práticas documentais, empreendida durante os quase três anos em que os autores trabalharam em um projeto de reforma das práticas documentais de grande escopo na Prefeitura de São Paulo. Envolveu coleta de informação por meio de observação participante, entrevistas com atores governamentais e análise de legislação e de processos administrativos. Resultados: Observou-se que a incidência conjunta, sobre os burocratas back-office, (1) dos tempos da política – decorrentes das interações do incumbente e de seu governo com a sociedade e demais atores políticos institucionais – e (2) do tempo dos papéis – decorrente do conjunto de regras que estabelecem formas de registro das atividades da burocracia, os graus de obrigatoriedade deste registro e de controle disciplinar – é determinante para compreender o comportamento burocrático, orientado para mitigar riscos disciplinares. Em segundo lugar, observou-se que as práticas mobilizadas pelos burocratas refletem agenciamentos dos documentos a partir dos efeitos que estes podem produzir sobre a burocracia: a produção da “verdade”, a possibilidade de transposição de soluções a novos contextos e a (não) comprovação de negociações políticas. Discussão: Três implicações resultam desses achados: 1) a dinâmica de atuação dos burocratas explica parte da tendência inercial das burocracias frente às políticas públicas e ressalta a necessidade de amplas negociações e construção de novos marcos documentais para que projetos de inovação possam ocorrer nas burocracias. 2) A promoção de práticas documentais do Estado pode induzir à produção de maior opacidade, e não transparência, ao contrário do que esperam políticas de abertura de dados. 3) Essa abordagem aponta novos caminhos para as teorias sobre criação de capacidades burocráticas e de coordenação. Desse modo, se entendermos o Estado não só a partir da atuação individual de seus agentes e do entrelaçamento de redes pessoais, mas também a partir de como a materialidade dos instrumentos de ação do Estado pode influenciar tais relações, os desafios da direção política, assim como a tarefa de compreendê-lo, se complexificam.
A Teoria de Securitização e a sua aplicação em artigos publicados em periódicos científicos
Authors: Silva Caroline Cordeiro Viana e , Pereira Alexsandro Eugenio
Published: August 2019

Resumo Introdução: O artigo analisa como a teoria de securitização é aplicada em um conjunto de estudos publicados em periódicos classificados no sistema brasileiro Qualis da CAPES na área de Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais. Securitização pode ser entendida como a possibilidade de um determinado tema passar a ser visto como ameaça à existência do Estado que desencadeará uma ação estatal emergencial, pontual e localizada fora da política comum e quotidiana de governo. Nosso artigo argumenta que esses estudos enfrentam dificuldades na comprovação empírica do processo de securitização. Materiais e Métodos: Realizamos um levantamento sistemático do tema da securitização em 276 periódicos que constavam da relação da área de Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais com conceitos Qualis A e B. Dentro desses 276 periódicos foram identificados 30 artigos. A seleção dos artigos foi feita em função da presença do termo securitização no título, no resumo ou nas palavras-chave de um artigo. Examinamos a estrutura lógica da argumentação de cada artigo selecionado por meio da análise de conteúdo de cada um deles. A leitura do material classificou como cada artigo aplicou o conceito de securitização, utilizando os critérios de categorização baseadas nas etapas do processo de securitização (não politizado, politizado e securitizado), os indicadores previstos para identificar cada uma das etapas, além do agente do processo de securitização. Resultados: Concluímos que esses artigos enfrentam dificuldades para operacionalizar empiricamente a teoria de securitização. Apenas dois desses artigos apresentaram propostas para comprovar empiricamente o processo de securitização. Discussão: São duas as dificuldades mapeadas para sugerir indicadores empíricos: 1) como são adotadas medidas emergenciais para o enfrentamento das ameaças; e 2) como um agente securitizador consegue convencer determinada audiência sobre a necessidade de adoção dessas medidas.
Floral phenology, seed germination and hybrid plants of the Amerindian yam (Dioscorea trifida)
Authors: BEYERLEIN Patrick , MENDES Ângela M. S. , PEREIRA Henrique S.
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT The Amerindian yam (Dioscorea trifida) is a food plant native to the Amazon region. Several local varieties are cultivated by traditional family farmers for consumption and local trade. However, socioeconomic processes may be causing species genetic erosion. Knowledge about species sexual reproduction is essential for its conservation and genetic improvement. The objective of this study was to observe the floral phenology, to assess the germination and dormancy of seeds, to conduct controlled pollinations and to select hybrid plants of D. trifida with agronomic potential. Seed dormancy was confirmed and was broken by after-ripening at 28 oC and 80% RH. We carried out controlled pollinations between local landraces and cultivated the resulting hybrid plants in the field. The new genotypes showed high phenotypic variability and tubers with new characteristics, which permitted the selection of genotypes with agronomic potential for further studies. The results contribute to the conservation of agrobiodiversity and genetic improvement for added value of Amazonian native food plants.

Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand how mental health education is developed in a nursing undergraduate course based on professors' perceptions of specific disciplines. Method: qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, developed with 11 nursing professors of mental health disciplines, from a public university in the south of Brazil. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interview in 2014. Data were submitted to thematic analysis. Results: the following categories emerged: Training for mental health education; Specificities of teaching in mental health; and Development of practical classes / internships in mental health. Mental Health education, which prioritizes cognitive and technical aspects in line with the Psychiatric Reform, the consolidation of the Unified Health System and the implementation of the National Nursing Curricular Guidelines, becomes a challenge as the break with the teaching model and health, once in force, is current. Conclusion: this scenario highlights the need for mental health education training for nursing professors and ongoing curricular revision and pedagogical strategies.

Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the perception of harm and benefits of marijuana associated with the use of marijuana in high school students aged between 15 and 17 years. Method: quantitative, transversal, descriptive and correlational design. The sample consisted of 268 students from public educational institutions between the ages of 15 and 17 years from five communes in the Chilean province of Concepción. The independent variables were biodemographic (sex, age and course), age of onset, use of marijuana in friends, perception of harm and benefits, and intention to use marijuana). The dependent variables were use (smoking) of marijuana (prevalence of life, in the last 12 months and in the last 30 days). Data collection instrument consisted of a semi-structured questionnaire in base of the CICAD Uniform Inter-American Data System for high school students; Monitoring The Future; and Risk Perception. Self-applied instrument with prior consent of the parents and agreement of the students. Results: slightly more than half (54%) of the students reported never having smoked marijuana, but 46% have ever used some in their lives. There is a moderated-negative weak correlation between harm perception and marijuana use. It is also observed a moderated-negative weak correlation between benefit perception and marijuana use. Statistically significant correlations Conclusion: just under half of the students between 15 and 17 years old declare to consume marijuana, an alarming result due to the negative effects of marijuana. Furthermore, they perceive low levels of damage produced by the use of marijuana, and the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is seen in a favorable position. A comprehensive policy of effective drug prevention at community, family and personal level is imperative.

Resumo Este caso para ensino tem por objetivo promover a reflexão sobre a necessidade de realizar pesquisas e projeções para a tomada de decisão, com a premissa de diminuir as incertezas geradas acerca da implantação de um novo negócio. Além disso, visa oportunizar aos alunos a discussão de situações pertinentes ao processo de abertura de uma nova empresa, por meio do caso da Junckes Distribuidora, uma atacadista prestadora de serviços do ramo alimentício, na qual um dos sócios idealiza um projeto de expansão. Em 2017, após um levantamento de dados para avaliar a viabilidade financeira e econômica da nova empresa, a varejista Direto do Colono, Matheus convoca os demais sócios João e Leonardo para uma reunião. É preciso decidir o que fazer e qual a melhor decisão, abrir ou não abrir o novo negócio, levando em consideração os dados coletados e a situação atual da empresa. A proposta é fazer com que os alunos se coloquem no lugar dos gestores, a fim de propiciar um debate acerca da abertura desse novo negócio e uma reflexão sobre concepções inerentes ao planejamento estratégico, marketing e análise financeira, explorando estes conceitos e relacionando-os com a realidade organizacional. Propõe-se que o caso seja aplicado nos cursos de Graduação em Administração, na disciplina de Estratégias Organizacionais. JEL Code: A2, R4, O3.

Published: August 2019

Abstract Continuous innovation is considered a major challenge for companies. By deepening this issue, this article highlights the absorptive capacity, which is the ability to explore external knowledge. This study analyzes the extent to which absorptive capacity affects the organizational performance of Brazilian IT companies. A theoretical model containing three hypotheses related to potential absorptive capacity, realized absorptive capacity, and organizational performance is analyzed by using factor analysis and structural equation modeling using an instrument applied to 130 companies between the months of July and August of 2017. The results show significant relations between the dimensions of absorptive capacity and organizational performance, indicating that a characteristic of the technological market is translated by adaptation ability, which demonstrates the influence of potential and realized absorptive capacity in performance as explained by the firm’s dynamic capabilities.

Published: August 2019

Resumo A internacionalização está se tornando cada vez mais importante para a academia brasileira e para a área de Administração em particular. Para entendermos quais práticas institucionais influenciam a inserção internacional de nossos pesquisadores, analisamos 172 questionários com dados de pesquisadores de 17 estados em Programas de Pós-Graduação nas mais importantes instituições do país. Apesar da coleta concentrada num segmento específico da área de Administração, pesquisadores em Administração de Informação (ADI), os resultados obtidos ilustram o comportamento de toda a área, pois este segmento está sujeito aos mesmos programas de incentivo que seus colegas de outras sub-áreas. Para esses pesquisadores, doutorado no exterior, completo ou sanduíche, é o principal elemento que explica a possibilidade de publicação internacional. O resultado do estudo apresentado neste artigo também aponta que que os pesquisadores não têm acesso aos mecanismos de incentivo considerados mais relevantes para atingir um maior nível de internacionalização. A partir da análise dos dados, é possível notar que esses respondentes entendem que os modelos de incentivos existentes em suas instituições precisam de ajustes para melhor incluir o país no sistema global de inovação.

Movimiento de redención ecológica de la cuenca del Río Piracicaba: una experiencia de acción colectiva
Authors: Hernández Miguel
Published: August 2019

Resumen El antecedente del modelo de gestión de agua brasileño tiene su origen en los complejos procesos de degradación ambiental y los conflictos en torno a las exigencias hídricas desde la década de los años setenta. En ese sentido, la experiencia del estado de São Paulo es central, puesto que fue en las cuencas de los ríos Piracicaba, Capivari y Jundiaí (PCJ), donde la participación de ciudadanos a través del Movimento de Redención Ecológica Año 2000 empujó a la conformación de un modelo de gestión regional de agua basado en la descentralización y la participación de diversos actores sociales. Los impactos de ese movimiento sociambiental dieron origen a instancias que hasta la fecha han servido de base en la gestión de recursos hídricos en Brasil.
Remédios para a tristeza: as instruções religiosas de Francisco de Sales em Introdução à vida devota, Portugal (séculos XVII-XVIII)
Authors: Fleck Eliane Cristina Deckmann , Dillmann Mauro
Published: August 2019

RESUMO Este texto analisa as instruções morais e religiosas do doutor em Teologia e bispo francês Francisco de Sales (1567-1622) em sua obra Introdução à vida devota [1609], especialmente em relação ao sentimento da tristeza. Atenta-se para os significados da tristeza, os seus efeitos "bons" e "ruins" e os "remédios" apresentados para combatê-la, bem como para os sentidos médicos e filosóficos compartilhados à época - que acionavam a teoria humoral para compreender os motivos e os efeitos da melancolia -, notadamente a partir do contexto português dos séculos XVII e XVIII, período de ampliação da leitura de obras de espiritualidade em Portugal, bem como de difusão da obra salesiana.
