Growth Pattern of the Tropical Highland Gymnopthalmid Lizard <i>Anadia Bogotensis</i> in Captivity Conditions
Authors: Calderón Marta Lucia , Ramírez Angelica Maria , Jerez Martínez Adriana Rocio 
Published: August 2018

Estimamos el patrón y tasa de crecimiento de individuos de Anadia bogotensis bajo condiciones de cautiverio y climáticas similares a las que experimentan los individuos en poblaciones silvestres. Obtuvimos huevos de nidos comunales de esta especie provenientes de una localidad del municipio de La Calera, Cundinamarca, los cuales fueron incubados en terrarios a la intemperie; después de la eclosión seguimos el crecimiento de los individuos hasta su muerte. El patrón de crecimiento se ajusta a un modelo logístico; esto indica que los individuos crecen moderadamente al inicio y luego la tasa incrementa. La tasa de crecimiento aumenta aún después que los individuos alcanzan la madurez sexual, y parece decrecer cerca de su máximo tamaño corporal. La especie crece rápido, madura al alcanzar el 50 % de su tamaño máximo y vive menos de dos años. Esta estrategia podría ser consecuencia de fuertes presiones de depredación, una hipótesis que debe evaluarse en condiciones naturales.
Voces como imágenes: ciudadanías en el límite, fotografía y agencia cultural en Altos de Cazucá
Authors: Rey Erika Tatiana 
Published: August 2018

Este libro está basado en la tesis laureada, de la Maestría en Estudios Culturales, titulada Agentes fotográficos: la fotografía participativa en la construcción de ciudadanías, por parte de niñas, niños y jóvenes en Altos de Cazucá, Soacha. Edwin Cubillos, trabajador social, expone en este texto el resultado de sus análisis, desde sus múltiples roles como voluntario, facilitador, investigador, docente, fotógrafo, gestor y compañero en el proyecto de fotografía participativa Disparando cámaras en Cazucá -en adelante, DCC-.Este trabajo, cuyo proceso metodológico estuvo inspirado en la investigación acción participativa (IAP), contribuye a pensar la relación existente entre el arte, la comunicación y la política, para la construcción de procesos de agencia cultural y ciudadanía, en lo que el autor denomina contextos de liminalidad. La fotografía participativa como práctica, permitió a los niños, niñas y jóvenes participantes del proyecto dcc, en medio del contexto de exclusión, marginalización y violencia en el que habitan, convertirse en agentes culturales locales y aportar a la reconstrucción del tejido social en su territorio.En el primer capítulo del libro, "Crisis, liminalidad y periferia en Altos de Cazucá", Cubillos presenta el contexto geográfico, social y económico en el que se sitúa Altos de Cazucá. Dicho sector está ubicado en la comuna cuatro de Soacha y se caracteriza por su alta vulnerabilidad, el abandono estatal, la exclusión social y la violencia sistemática. Los barrios irregulares que lo conforman, fueron constituidos principalmente por medio de la urbanización ilegal, teniendo dificultades para el acceso al agua potable y el saneamiento básico.
Teacher Practices and Preschool Physical Environment for Education for Sustainable Development: Eco Vs Ordinary Preschools
Authors: KAHRİMAN-PAMUK Deniz , OLGAN Refika 
Published: August 2018

This
study aimed to determine the frequency of and time allocation for education for
sustainable development (ESD) practices of preschools teachers and examine
the ESD indicators in the physical environment of eco and ordinary
schools. The results indicate that the frequency of and time allocated for the
ESD practices of eco preschool teachers were significantly higher than those of
teachers in ordinary preschools but only with a small effect size. The results
also demonstrate that there are more facilities to support ESD in
eco-preschools compared to ordinary preschools. In conclusion, the
eco-school approach may promote ESD indicators in preschools; however, the
small effect size and similar mean scores of teachers in both schools emphasize the necessity of further investigating the issue.
On the other hand, the significant differences between eco and ordinary
preschools in terms of the physical environment demonstrate the unequal conditions
of preschools in terms of ESD.
Hydroureteronephrosis in women with pelvic organ prolapse: a prospective cohort study
Authors: Kumari Pushplata , Ebenezer Emily Divya , Salomi Caroline , Londhe Vaibhav , Kekre Aruna Nitin 
Published: August 2018

Background: Pelvic organ prolapses (POP) is a common problem in women. The prevalence of POP increase with age. The true prevalence and risk factor for developing hydroureteronephrosis (HUN) in women with pelvic organ prolapse is still unclear due to lack of prospective studies on sufficiently large cohorts. This prospective study was done to study the prevalence of HUN in women with POP and to identify the risk factors for developing HUN.Methods: In this prospective observational study 219 patients were recruited for surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse for 2 years. Preoperatively, all patients had transabdominal scan to assess the uterus, adnexa and to look for Hydroureteronephrosis (HUN). Women with presence of HUN were followed postoperatively look for the resolution of HUN.Results: The prevalence of bilateral HUN was 6.85%. The mean age of women with HUN ranged from 51-69 years. Diabetes and hypertension were significant risk factor for development of HUN (OR 4.70, 95% CI -1.59-13.88 and OR 3.72, 95% CI- 1.23-11.1 respectively). There was a statistically significant correlation between chronic kidney disease and HUN. (OR 1 with 95%: CI 9.49-30.42). The correlation between stage of pelvic organ prolapse and HUN was not statistically significant (p = 0.062). There was a statistically significant correlation between the duration (2years -15 years) of POP to HUN. (OR 0.233, 95%0.13-0.419). Patients were followed up post operatively for resolution of HUN. HUN resolved in 9 women (60%) and persisted in 6 (40%).Conclusions: The prevalence of bilateral HUN in women with pelvic organ prolapse was 6.8%. Presence of hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease was a risk factor for HUN. HUN resolved in 60% of women after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Clinical outcome of post placental copper T380A and copper 375 IUCD insertion in women delivering by caesarean section
Authors: Divya. Divya , Dewan Rupali 
Published: August 2018

Background: The objective of the study was to compare the clinical outcome (safety, efficacy, expulsion and continuation rates) of post placental insertion of Cu375 and CuT380A intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) in primiparous women undergoing caesarean section.Methods: This was a prospective, randomized comparative study in which 300 primiparous women were recruited. All these women had post placental intracaesarean insertion of CuT 380A or Cu375 IUCD. Follow up visits were scheduled at 1, 3 months, 6 month and 12 months.Results: Mean age was 23.1 years. Visibility of strings increased in successive follow up visits and was visible in 97.1% of women at the end of one year and 72.3% in CuT380A IUCD users at 12 months. Menorrhagia was reported in 8.6% in Cu375 IUCD users and 10% in CuT380A IUCD users at the end of 1 year of follow up. There were only 10 expulsions of Cu375 IUCD and six that of CuT380A IUCD. Removal rate in was 7.3% in Cu375 users and 6.7% in CuT380A users. Overall 84.7% of the women were satisfied with the treatment and 60% to an extent that they would like to recommend it to others whereas 15.3% were not satisfied at all either due to adverse events or spontaneous expulsion of IUCD.Conclusions: The Gross cumulative continuation rates was 86% in women with Cu375 IUCD insertions and 89.3% in CuT380A IUCD users. There was no significant difference between Cu375 and CuT380A regarding the safety, efficacy and complications.
Cafés especiais, governo e mercado: reflexões para a implementação de políticas de valorização da marca “Cafés do Brasil”
Authors: Santos Marco Aurélio dos , Ferreira Marco Aurélio Marques 
Published: August 2018

Resumo: O objetivo com este artigo foi fazer um levantamento histórico descritivo dos fatores que podem afetar o posicionamento da marca “Cafés do Brasil” como símbolo de qualidade, sabores, diversidade de origens e sustentabilidade dos cafés produzidos nas diferentes regiões do País. Para tanto, recorreu-se a uma revisão de literatura – livros e revistas que abordaram o histórico de políticas públicas aplicadas à cafeicultura e seus preponentes – atrelada à revisão acerca de análise de política pública, para fazer inferências. Observou-se que a monopolização política, econômica e social exercida pelo café no início do século XIX favorecia a ação direta do Estado. Ao contrário do que acontecia no passado, atualmente o café é apenas outra atividade econômica, que requer condições políticas favoráveis ao desenvolvimento de habilidades que ampliem a vantagem competitiva local. Conclui-se que a implementação de políticas públicas na cadeia do café passou a ser dependente da dinâmica institucional nas regiões produtoras. Assim, as políticas que negam esse paradigma estão sujeitas à ineficiência e, consequentemente, demandam esforços para reorientá-las.Palavras-chave: Análise política. Fatores históricos políticos. Grupos de interesse. Agronegócio. Special cafés, government and market: reflections for the implementation of valuation policies of “Cafés do Brasil” Abstract: The objective of this article was to make a descriptive historical survey of the factors that may affect the positioning of the "Cafés do Brasil" brand as a symbol of quality, flavors, diversity of origins and sustainability of the coffee produced in different regions of the country. To do so, we resorted to a literature review – books and journals that addressed the history of public policies applied to coffee and its preponents – linked to the review about public policy analysis, to make inferences. It was observed that the political, economic and social monopolization exerted by the coffee in the early nineteenth century favored the direct action of the State. Contrary to what happened in the past, coffee is now just another economic activity, which requires political conditions conducive to the development of skills that enhance local competitive advantage. It is concluded that the implementation of public policies in the coffee chain has become dependent on the institutional dynamics in the producing regions. Thus, policies that deny this paradigm are subject to inefficiency and, consequently, require efforts to reorient them.Keywords: Political analysis. Political historical factors. Interestgroups.

Icky Mr. Fox and the Missing Friend by A. Bitskoff
Authors: Carr-Wiggin Merran 
Published: August 2018

Bitskoff, Aleksei. Icky Mr. Fox and the Missing Friend. IckyPen Ltd, 2017. Vers. 19.0.1. Apple App Store, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/missing-friend/id1236379583?mt=8.
Age range: 0-5Price: $2.79.Also available in a Lite version with ads at no cost.
This simple, quirky digital text takes children on a journey to rescue Mr. Mole from Icky Mr. Fox and builds early digital navigation and vocabulary skills. Children experience the story read aloud, with the text displayed on the screen along with charming illustrations.
The app features some interactive elements. Many objects on the screen are clickable and the name of the object appears in writing and is spoken aloud. Other interactive elements include the ability to make the sun rise, turn lights on and off in a room, or move characters in one direction or another. The interactions are intuitive and young children should easily be able to identify the interactive features and navigate the interface. The app somewhat replicates the experience of reading a book, moving from screen to screen with the touch of an arrow.
The illustrations are highly appealing, with adorable characters, painterly background illustrations and harmonious colour schemes. The tone of the illustrations and sounds is gentle and pleasing, and would not stretch the tolerance of parents for annoying levels of noise. The language and storyline are simple and lack creativity, but keep the interest of a child with a certain level of suspense.
The app enables children to follow a story in sequence, to recognize the relationship between sound and text, and encourages them to build fine motor skills and touch-screen computer skills. Children touch the screen to make text and sound appear and swipe to make characters move. Children in the higher end of the age range may build early reading or text decoding skills through seeing and hearing words. The stated age range for the app is 0-5; children aged 2-5 would benefit most. This app is fun for both adults and children and is an engaging way for children to learn digital skills. Children can find more adventures featuring Icky Mr. Fox created by the same developers.

Tinybop. Me: A Kid’s Diary by A. Seixas
Authors: Sivak Allison 
Published: August 2018

Seixas, Ana. Tinybop. Me: A Kid’s Diary. 2016. Apple App Store, https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1126531257?mt=8.
Ages 3-7 (depending on parent assistance)Cost: $2.99
This app allows young children to create a digital diary filled with their own writings, photos, audio recordings, and drawings. The child creates an avatar from a varied array of options for skin colour, hair colour and style, facial features, and accessories. The app then encourages the child to respond to prompts, such as, “A song about me would be titled…,” “This is an interesting fact about my family,” and, “If I were an animal, I would look like this.” Some questions require a textual response, while others ask the child to draw, record, or take a snapshot of their response to the prompt, thereby taking advantage of the affordances offered by a tablet or phone. Other activities include the option to create a family tree, to create avatars of the child’s friends, and to answer all kinds of questions about the people in the child’s life. A child can draw, record, and photograph daily activities, such as their life at school.
Children can use the app to explore their own ideas, experiences, and feelings through both serious and silly questions. A Kid’s Diary takes a simple process and makes it even more accessible to quite young children. Ana Seixas’ illustrations use eye-popping colours, with good use of contrast and negative space to make clicking easy. The language of the questions is simple and displayed in a large font. Younger children should be able to use this app with the help of caregivers reading the text for the children’s answers. Caregivers should know that the company foregrounds their privacy policy on the developer site, noting that the app does not collect information about the users through the application itself. It is highly recommended as a fun way for children and their caregivers to learn more about themselves and the world they observe around them.
Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Allison Sivak

O drama do poeta
Authors: Sterzi Eduardo 
Published: August 2018

Apesar da retórica de tabula rasa que aparece em tantos pontos de sua obra, Oswald de Andrade construiu sua combinação de literatura e teoria a partir de uma releitura renovadora de momentos decisivos da tradição. Dante Alighieri tem aí papel fundamental. É certo que as constantes referências a Dante na obra de Oswald podem ser vistas, por um lado, como um simples jogo com a tradição. Por outro, porém, podem ser interpretadas como expressões da consciência de que, na obra de Dante, se entabulara uma partida decisiva para a configuração da literatura – e das artes em geral – dali por diante. Ou seja, algumas das questões propostas originalmente por Dante talvez continuassem a interrogar os modernistas brasileiros – como, de resto, interpelavam, à mesma época, escritores de outras paisagens, como Eliot e Mandelstam. Busca-se aqui, por meio de um exame da reproposição de figuras dantescas na peça A morta, de 1937, avaliar a relevância do autor florentino para a constituição da ideia oswaldiana de Antropofagia (repensada aqui como uma teoria da poesia).

Knowledge management system as a basis for smart learning
Authors: Dneprovskaya Natalia V. 
Published: August 2018

The purposeof the study is to develop an approach to improve information support for the development of the contents of higher education programs and teaching methodological materials. The system of higher education faces the challenges of supporting the development of the digital economy through training and research. Creating the appropriate content of education becomes a difficult task with the high rate of development of digital technologies and methods to use them. Now, in smart learning, the technical aspects of the organization of the educational process often overshadow aspects, related to the methodology or content of smart learning. However, the issues of the content of education become most relevant. Research in the field of knowledge management remain relevant because, the more perfect the technologies become, that notice the algorithmized work of specialists, the higher the value of creativity for society and the economy.Materials and methodsof research include discourse analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources devoted to the issues of smart education and knowledge management, the systematization of the material. Methodological basis for developing an approach to improve information support is the methods and technologies of the theory of knowledge management.The resultsof the research show that the need for the development of the digital economy places high demands not only for technologies, but also primarily on the competencies for their use. The logic of IT development in education indicates that there is a gradual change in the stages of informatization: from distance education technologies to e-learning and then to smart learning. Each stage of the informatization of education allows solving the problems that are important for the economy and society. There are the factors, influencing the formation of requirements for the content of educational programs: technological, economic, social and geopolitical. The following requirements of smart training for the content of educational programs are revealed: actual information and tasks in the training course; opportunities for independent cognitive, research and project activities of students; distributed information system of smart learning; integration of the educational environment with professional communities; individualization of the content of training.The conclusion.Technologies and methods of knowledge management can provide the necessary level of speed and quality of development of educational materials. The article describes the knowledge management system, which through the knowledge base, communities and co-creation tools, ensures the relevance of the developed content and fills the smart learning with the necessary content.
