A Performatização de Masculinidades nas Capas de Sui Generis (1995-2000)
Authors: De Sabóia Feitosa Ricardo Augusto , García Manso Almudena 
Published: December 2020

O artigo propõe, a partir de uma leitura crítica de 12 capas publicadas pela revista Sui Generis entre os anos de 1995 e 2000, analisar a construção discursiva (imagético e textual) das masculinidades, interrogando quais representações do masculino são ali encenadas, reiteradas ou deslocadas. Entende-se que esse conjunto permite refletir criticamente sobre como as masculinidades performadas na publicação inserem-se em processos de negociações e reelaborações editoriais e sociais que, no contexto de uma revista endereçada majoritariamente a uma audiência gay masculina, estão inter-relacionadas a processos mais amplos de visibilização e cenarização pública das homossexualidades no Brasil na virada do último século.
Palavras-chave: Masculinidades. Homossexualidades. Jornalismo. Gênero.
"En Tierra de Nadie"
Authors: Vicentin Luisa , Chiesa Ailén Nahir 
Published: December 2020

“No Man’s Land” (2001) es una película de origen bosnio que retrata la crudeza de los enfrentamientos bélicos y de los procesos que tienen como protagonistas a los nacionales que se enfrentan unos a otros. Esgrime un retrato ficticio, aunque verídico, de las guerras de disolución de Yugoslavia, específicamente de la guerra serbobosnia. El setting es algún lugar entre Bosnia y Serbia, y casi la totalidad de la historia sucede dentro de una trinchera, en donde las conversaciones absurdas y las situaciones satíricas abundan; la película es una sátira anti-guerra que sitúa al espectador en una encrucijada: la de reír o llorar. Analizamos la película “En Tierra de Nadie”, por retratar su trama las guerras de disolución de la ex Yugoslavia, y poner en jaque el rol protagonista de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en conflictos bélicos internacionales, con una mirada crítica hacia su funcionamiento y burocracia.
The Management of 'Ad Hoc' Ex Situ Conservation Status Species at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh :
Authors: Radford Elizabeth , Dossman Michael , Rae David 
Published: December 2020

Ad hoc' conservation status species refer to IUCN-listed plants that have been collected by botanic gardens for no immediate conservation objective. They differ from so-called conservation collections, which have usually been collected with very specific conservation objectives in mind. Information was collected for 53 ad hoc conservation status species in the Living Collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). Each species was assessed for its potential value for conservation and suggested action points to improve their management for possible conservation projects in the future were given. Discussions were held with various members of staff about the current and future management of threatened plants in the collections.
In common with other botanic gardens the majority of the ad hoc collections of conservation status plants at RBGE have been acquired in very small numbers, usually as one accession, frequently of cultivated origin and therefore possess little genetic diversity. Current conservation programmes for such plants are few in number and scope, and the management potential of a large number are limited. More emphasis should be placed on the educational role of these plants and on a focused programme to safeguard the survival of the most threatened species at RBGE.
Encouraging and Enabling a Science-Based Approach to Ecological Restoration
Authors: Shaw Kirsty 
Published: December 2020

Botanic gardens harbour many of the skills necessary for undertaking ecological restoration. This includes strong horticultural and taxonomic expertise, seed collection, conservation and propagation skills, the ability to design and lead monitoring programmes, as well as providing training and outreach to the public. This unique set of skills is rarely found within other institutions. Many of the world’s botanic gardens share a common mission: to secure plant diversity, working within the framework of national and international policies. Botanic gardens are therefore not only well-placed to lead ecological restoration initiatives, but it is their goal and responsibility to apply their knowledge, expertise and skills to addressing ecological degradation.
In recognition of this, the Ecological Restoration Alliance of Botanic Gardens (ERA) was formed in 2011, a consortium of botanic gardens applying their skills to lead successful ecological restoration initiatives in diverse habitat and cultural contexts across six continents. The ERA is coordinated by Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI).
This article summarises ERA progress to date, and provides a case study from Kenya, which demonstrates botanic gardens’ ability to undertake ecological restoration and highlights the value of the ERA.
Maintaining and Managing the Diversity of the Living Collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh :
Authors: Garn Tony 
Published: December 2020

In a botanic garden it is the record-keeping, the labelling and the facility to trace the lineage of individual plants that sets it apart from other gardens. The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) has a rich and diverse Living Collection of plants. It is important that visitors, staff and students have access both to the collection and to this information. One definitive way to achieve this is to promote the seasonal interest found in the Collection through images and descriptions. This paper contains a selection of colour images, descriptions and a discourse on the diversity of the Living Collection and its future management. In it, the importance of plants and their place in the institution of RBGE is highlighted and the author looks forward to the changing social, economic, technological and environmental conditions that will affect management’s capacity to develop and maintain the collection as the 21st century advances.

Objetivo: Descrever a utilização da abordagem familiar no atendimento à saúde primária. Detalhamento do caso: Trata- se de um relato de caso desenvolvido no âmbito de uma ESF (Estratégia Saúde da Família) de um município de Minas Gerais, sobre a utilização de ferramentas próprias para a Abordagem Familiar: Genograma, F.I.R.O., P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E., Ciclo de Vida e Ecomapa. Entrevistado A.F.S., 53 anos, hígido, casado, desempregado e pai de quatro filhos, o segundo Autista, a quarta portadora de Síndrome de Down e esposa depressiva. Na aplicação das ferramentas nota-se que este é o nono filho de um casal cuja mãe é hígida e o pai é hipertenso. Apesar das dificuldades encontradas nas relações familiares, principalmente com o filho, tem bastante reconforto na religião. Considerações finais: A família é caracterizada por um conjunto de crenças, valores e normas, sendo fundamental que o profissional da saúde a compreenda como um elemento de prática diagnóstica e terapêutica. Sendo sua abordagem durante atendimento médico na atenção primária um aspecto fundamental no entendimento do indivíduo como um todo. Estudo de Família permite entender a dinâmica familiar, propondo soluções mais aplicáveis a realidade, entretanto, precisa-se de mais estudos dessas ferramentas e mais aderência dos médicos de família e comunidade.

Published: December 2020

Objetivo: Analisar as políticas públicas de transplante implantadas no Brasil, identificando as estratégias que versem sobre o aumento no índice de doadores e os fatores que impedem a doação no Brasil. Revisão Bibliográfica: A política de transplante de órgãos é um avanço considerável em termo de medicina, vez que é uma alternativa terapêutica eficiente, constituindo em muitos casos na última alternativa de melhora ou cura, no tratamento de doenças crônicas incuráveis, constituindo assim, uma melhoria na qualidade de vida do indivíduo, submetido ao transplante. Considerações Finais: O Brasil por meio de políticas públicas, instituiu normativas visando estabelecer o procedimento de doação de órgãos, como o Sistema Nacional de Transplante e a Comissão Intra-Hospitalar de Doação de Órgãos e Tecidos para Transplante, que contribuiu para o aumento no índice de doadores. No entanto, o processo de doação de órgãos ainda é pouco compreendido pela sociedade e pelos profissionais da saúde, em que se constata a necessidade de melhor promover a conscientização através de programas e campanhas educacionais, visto que existem fatores que impedem o aumento no índice de doadores, como a recusa familiar, a crença na comercialização e a ausência de conhecimento.
Integration theories and European education policy: bringing the role of ideas back in
Authors: Cino Pagliarello Marina 
Published: December 2020

Education policy, traditionally a fortress of state-building processes, is now being challenged by the emergence of a new dimension at the European level. The Lisbon Strategy of 2000 has not only redefined education as a tool for improving Europe’s competitiveness within the knowledge economy, but it has also significantly expanded the role of the European Commission as a legitimate actor intervening in education. Although the increasing involvement of the EU in education has been empirically covered by the existing literature, less attention has been devoted to elucidating these changes from a theoretical point of view. This article contends that these transformations raise a theoretical puzzle in terms of the understanding of the two mainstream theories of European integration. This argument is developed in three steps. First, the article examines the historical developments of EU competences in education. It then critically engages with the main theoretical explanations of European integration theories in relation to these changes, namely supranationalism and liberal intergovernmentalism, asserting that these approaches do not fully account for a comprehensive explanation of the drivers behind these transformations. By contrast, the article suggests that broadening the analytical lens to include a more ideas-centred approach provides a more in-depth understanding of European education policy.
Dinámica de la transferencia de inmunoglobulina G en el binomio madre-cría de llamas (Lama glama)
Authors: Auad J. , Cerutti J. , Cooper L. G. , Aguilar M. S. , Lozano A. 
Published: December 2020

En las llamas la transferencia de la inmunidad pasiva a través del calostro es un evento crítico para la supervivencia de la cría (teke). El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer la cinética de la concentración de inmunoglobulina G (IgG) en tekes durante los primeros 5 meses de vida y relacionar la concentración de IgG en suero y calostro de las llamas con la concentración en suero de los tekes. Se diseñó un estudio de cohorte, observacional y analítico. Se estudiaron 25 llamas y sus respectivas crías. Se determinó la concentración de IgG en calostro y suero de las madres y en tekes según una cinética establecida desde el nacimiento hasta los 150 días de vida, empleando la técnica de inmunodifusión radial simple. Los resultados mostraron una concentración media de IgG en suero de llamas de 4311,47 mg/dl y en calostro de 23254,9 mg/dl. En los tekes -a las 0 h posparto- la concentración de IgG fue no dosable, alcanzando valores máximos entre las 18 y 24 h (4094,06 y 4197,95 mg/dl respectivamente) no encontrando en este periodo diferencias con la concentración de la IgG sérica materna (p 0,694). Desde las 24 h hasta los 120 días se observó un descenso en los niveles de IgG (p<0,0001), registrándose un incremento a los 150 días (p 0,0001). Se concluye que los valores de IgG calostral son independientes de la concentración sérica tanto en llamas como en tekes, no existiendo asociación entre los mismos (p<0,0001). El calostro aporta niveles de IgG que en los tekes logran concentraciones séricas similares a las de sus madres a las 24 h posparto.

Multinomial Logistic Regression Model to Identify Factors Associated with Food Insecurity in Rural Households in Nepal
Authors: Shah Santosh Kumar 
Published: December 2020

Background: Food is basics of our lives and many people experiences food insecurity at some time because of food deprivation and lack of access to food due to different resource constraints. It is a global challenge and threatens the rural people in developing countries like Nepal.
Objective: The objective of the study is to identify the factors associated with food insecurity in rural area of Nepal.
Materials and Methods: The analysis is based on rural household data extracted from the data of Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2016. The dependent variable food insecurity status was measured in four levels namely food secure, mildly food insecure, moderately food insecure and severely food insecure household using Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Independent variables were categorical and quantitative variables. In order to identify the factors associated with food insecurity, ordinal logit model was fitted initially. Due to violation of test of parallel lines by overall as well as some of the independent variables, multinomial logistic regression model was finally adopted by examining the model adequacy test.
Results: The fitted multinomial logistic regression satisfied the diagnostic test including tests of goodness of fit, multicolinearity diagnostic criteria and minimum criteria of utilization of the model with about 29% predictive power. The variables ecological region, wealth index, size of agriculture land, any member(s) having saving account in any financial institution, any member(s) had gone to foreign employment in last 5 years other than India, family size, number of members completed secondary education and household member rearing cattle(s) were found to be significant. The poorest households (HHs) had 3.14 (CI: 1.88-5.26) times, poorer HHs 2.51 (CI: 1.55-4.07) times and moderate HHs 1.42 times higher chances of being severely food insecure relative to rich HHs.
Conclusion: The study revealed that food insecurity of the rural HHs increases with decrease in the wealth index, size of land and number of members of the HHs with completed secondary education. The food insecurity of the households decreases with increase in the access to bank service.
Determinants of Trade Deficit in Nepal: An Econometric Investigation
Authors: Nepal Surendra Raj 
Published: December 2020

Background: Nepal has been importing some of goods and services from other countries and is also capable of exporting some other goods and services to foreign countries. Because of over dependency on foreign goods, Nepal has been suffering from trade deficit for more than 45 years.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship of trade deficit in Nepal with its determinants by using econometric analysis where exchange rate, real gross domestic product and foreign direct investment are taken as determinants of trade deficit. Its main objective is to examine the long-run, short-run and causal relationship among the variables.
Materials and Methods: Annual time series data from 1974/75 (from 1988/89 in case of FDI) to 2018/2019 obtained from different sources: Nepal Rastra Bank, Economic Survey of Nepal, The World Bank and Department of Industry, Nepal Government were used in this study. Unit root test was used to check stationary. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), ARDL bound test and Error Correction Model (ECM) were applied to find short-run as well as long-run relationship. Finally, pair-wise causal relationship was tested by using Granger causality.
Results: All variables were found to be stationary at first difference. The test statistic of ARDL bound test was 8.17 and was greater than upper bound of 6.36 at 1% significance level. Error correction term’s p-value was 0.0052 and the corresponding values for pair-wise Granger causality from trade deficit to FDI and FDI to trade deficit were 0.00009 and 0.00005, respectively.
Conclusion: There was positive and significant long-run relationship between exchange rate and trade deficit whereas there was negative and significant long-run relationship between real GDP and trade deficit. Moreover, real GDP positively affected trade deficit in short-run. Furthermore, bidirectional causal relationship has been observed between FDI and trade deficit.

Influence of Social Media on Students’ Academic Performance as Perceived by Undergraduate Education Students
Authors: Fakokunde Jubril Busuyi 
Published: December 2020

The use of social media among tertiary institution students has been the concern of scholars within the education realm in respect of the influence on academic performance. While some have found positive impact, others have recorded negative or neutral. However, specific attention has not been given education students who are the potential builders of up-coming generation on their views in relation to the influence on academic performance. This study therefore investigated the perceived influence of the use of social media on students’ academic performance. The study adopted a descriptive survey design by randomly selecting 297 undergraduate education students of Osun State University from 2nd, 3rd and final year students. The instrument used for data collection is a self-developed questionnaire titled ‘Influence of Social Media on Academic Performance’. One research question and two hypotheses were generated for the study. Data were analysed using simple percentage and frequency count aspect of descriptive statistics, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the use of social media has both positive and negative influence on academic performance. The study also revealed no bias in the view of the respondents based on gender and number of years spent as students in the university. The researcher therefore recommends the need to educate students on the educational benefits of social media, guide the students on how to use social media to enhance learning coupled with the incorporation of social media as instructional strategy in the school curriculum.
