Os valores primordiais da sociedade brasileira estão inseridos na Carta Magna por meio de princípios, que enquanto normas jurídicas constitucionais representam a reintegração dos valores morais e éticos no universo jurídico na era do pós-positivismo. Dentre os valores albergados pela CF/88, destaque-se o “meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado”, alçado ineditamente no nível de direito fundamental e inaugurando um novo paradigma ético-jurídico e políticoeconômico que opta pelo desenvolvimento sustentável. A concretização de tal compromisso constitucional impõe inúmeros desafios àqueles a quem cabe o dever de implementação da juridicidade ambiental constitucional, dada a gravidade e a complexidade das demandas socioambientais, cuja tutela judicial exige transformações substanciais nos instrumentos jurídicos tradicionais de direito material e processual, bem como atualização e revisão de conceitos e
institutos de natureza individualista, que, entretanto, ainda são o objeto central do modelo positivista que é ministrado na formação dos bacharéis nos Cursos Jurídicos do Brasil.
Mediations of Xinjiang: For an Aesthetic Politics
Authors: Cubitt Sean 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Zhang Qian’s second-century B.C.E. reports on his travels through what is now the northwestern Chinese province of Xinjiang begin two millennia of mediations of this large and fraught region. This article’s consideration of mediations on landscape begins with Tsui Hark’s film Seven Swords, looking back to drawing and photography, and forward to geographic information systems and financial software, each giving their own, often complex, accounts of the land. This history, and the multiplicity of contemporary practices, raises the question of subjectivity: of who or what expresses and who or what observes or understands these layers of mediation, representation, and communication, in the past or today. The author argues that, for ecocritique in the age of terracide, aesthetics is not merely symptomatic or ideological, it is the one sure ground for a new politics.
Pleated Time and Posthuman Temporalities in OtherLife
Authors: Christiansen Steen 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The Australian science fiction movie OtherLife presents an interesting argument for the modulation of temporal experience. Working from the premise that a drug (or “biological software”) can produce new memories in people, as well as revise old memories, the movie makes a posthuman argument about how human being experience time. This argument is also evident in the audiovisual form of the movie itself. Speed ramping, screen mirroring, dolly zooms, and other devices dislodge a straightforward presentation of time. Similarly, the narrative form loops and revises itself, restating events and even showing different versions of past events. Taken together, this movie shows how we do not have an experience of time but instead participate in an experience of time. This experience includes the temporal articulations of technologies—the biological software OtherLife in the movie, and the aesthetics of the film itself.
The Part Is Greater Than the Whole: Montage as Fragment in Hitchcock, Argento, and De Palma
Authors: Isaacs Bruce 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Hitchcock famously defined “pure cinema” as montage: “to me, pure film, pure cinema, is pieces of film assembled.” It’s a simple, workable definition of one aspect of film form that had long fascinated filmmakers and theorists. This article attempts to analyze the foundation of Hitchcockian montage as a process of the fragmentation of the organic whole of visual, aural, and narrative form. I begin with Hitchcock, and then consider the materialization of a Hitchcockian montage schema in the work of Dario Argento and Brian De Palma, two filmmakers who proudly declare an aesthetic and philosophical debt to Hitchcock’s cinema. In their explicit imitation of the Hitchcockian schema, I trace the cinema of the giallo and De Palma as a further abstraction of the part from the whole, but in this imitative, reflexive, aesthetic gesture, the bond between part and whole is increasingly tenuous, synthetic, and irrational.
El polémico viaje de Eduardo Dato a Cataluña en mayo de 1900 = The Controversial Journey of Eduardo Dato to Cataluña in May of 1900

En 1899 arranca el primer gobierno de Francisco Silvela. Con él, detentando el Ministerio de Gobernación, un prestigioso abogado que había accedido a la política quince años atrás; Eduardo Dato. Tras investigar un asunto de grave corrupción en el consistorio de Madrid como subsecretario de Gobernación, en 1892, había pasado a formar parte de la disidencia conservadora encabezada por Silvela.Tras la pérdida de las colonias, las drásticas reformas económicas emprendidas en 1899 por el ministro Fernández Villaverde, propiciaron en Cataluña una huelga comercial e industrial conocida como «el tancament de caixes». El origen lo constituía una reforma tributaria, pero la confluencia con las tensiones descentralizadoras convirtieron el asunto en una auténtica crisis política; crisis que pasaría a la memoria por las “pitadas” y altercados callejeros durante la visita del propio Dato a la región durante el mes de mayo de 1900. Nuestro objetivo es ahondar en las circunstancias que rodearon dicha visita acudiendo a prensa de época así como a documentos de archivos. In 1899 the first Government of Francisco Silvela began. Included in his government, appointed to the Ministry of the Interior, was Eduardo Dato, a prestigious lawyer who had began his political career fifteen years earlier. After investigating a matter of serious corruption in the town hall of Madrid as an Undersecretary of the Government in 1892, he left his government post to became part of the conservative dissension led by Silvela.After the loss of the colonies, the drastic economic reforms undertaken in 1899 by his Government led to a commercial and industrial strike known as “The Closing of the Cashboxes” in Catalonia. Tax reform was the impetus of the strike, but when combined with the tension of decentralization, the issue evolved into a true political crisis; this crisis would become part of the nationalist history of Catalonia through the "protests" and street riots that occurred during Dato’s visit to the region in the month of May of 1900. Our objective is to delve into the circumstances surrounding the visit going to period press and archival documents.Palabras claveDato; Catalaluña; Durán y Bas; Silvela; descentralización; La Veu de Catalunya

Membrane Interactivity of Anesthetic Adjuvant Dexmedetomidine Discriminable from Clonidine and Enantiomeric Levomedetomidine
Authors: Mizogami Maki , Tsuchiya Hironori 
Published: June 2019

Aims: Dexmedetomidine, which has been increasingly used as an anesthetic adjuvant, is more lipophilic and more active than another α2-adrenergic agonist clonidine and enantiomeric levomedetomidine. Lipophilicity and stereostructure affect the clinical effects of α2-adrenergic agonists. We aimed to compare the membrane interactivity of dexmedetomidine with clonidine and levomedetomidine from a point of view different from the mode of action on α2-adrenergic receptors.
Methodology: Unilamellar vesicles were prepared with phospholipids and cholesterol to mimic the lipid compositions of peripheral nerve cell, central nerve cell and cardiomyocyte membranes, and lipid rafts. They were subjected to the reactions with dexmedetomidine, clonidine and levomedetomidine at 10-200 μM, followed by measuring fluorescence polarization to determine the membrane interactivity to change membrane fluidity and specify the membrane region for the stereostructure-specific interaction.
Results: Dexmedetomidine and clonidine acted on lipid bilayers to increase the membrane fluidity with potencies varying by a compositional difference of membrane lipids. Dexmedetomidine showed greater interactivity with neuro-mimetic and cardiomyocyte-mimetic membranes than clonidine, being consistent with their comparative lipophilicity and activity. The effects of α2-adrenergic agonists on lipid raft model membranes were much weaker than those on other membranes, indicating that lipid rafts are not mechanistically relevant to them. Higher interactive dexmedetomidine was discriminated from lower interactive levomedetomidine in the presence of chiral cholesterol in membranes. An interactivity difference between two enantiomers was largest in the superficial region of lipid bilayers and the rank order of their membrane-interacting potency was reversed by replacing cholesterol with epicholesterol, suggesting that cholesterol’s 3β-hydroxyl groups positioned close to the membrane surface are responsible for the enantioselective interaction.
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine structure-specifically interacts with biomimetic membranes depending on their lipid compositions more potently than clonidine and levomedetomidine. Such membrane interactivity associated with higher lipophilicity and stereostructure characterizes dexmedetomidine in addition to higher affinity for α2-adrenergic receptors.
Agronomic Evaluation of Performance of Sesame Varieties in Maize-based Intercropping System in the Southern Guinean Savanna of Nigeria
Authors: Ajibola A. T. , Kolawole G. O. 
Published: June 2019

Aims: Field experiments were conducted to determine compatibility of sesame varieties for intercropping with maize.
Study Design: The experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: Teaching and Research Farm, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, southern guinea savanna area of Nigeria during the 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons.
Methodology: The treatments included Sole maize (Oba Super 1 variety), five sole sesame varieties (E-8, O3l, O1m, O2 m, Exotic-Sudan) and their intercrops, making a total of eleven treatments. Sole maize was planted at a spacing of 75 cm x 25 cm. For intercrops, maize was planted at a spacing of 100 cm x 25 cm and sesame seeds were planted at a spacing of 100 cm x 10 cm such that sesame row alternated maize row. Maize was planted first and sesame was introduced two weeks after.
Results: Intercropping maize with sesame varieties significantly (P = 0.05) reduced number of pods and grain yield of sesame varieties in both years. However, variety O2m produced grain yield in the intercrop similar to the mono crop. Generally, Intercropping sesame with maize significantly reduced the grain yield of maize by 36% compared to the sole crop. Exotic-Sudan varieties caused the highest percentage yield reduction (52%). Sesame varieties O2m and O3l were the only varieties whose yield advantage in intercropping with maize had land equivalent ratio (LER) of 1.28 and 1.18 while other varieties had values less than 1 indicating yield advantage of O2m and O3l with maize. The relative crowding coefficient (K) value of maize (4.98) was higher than sesame (0.44) thus indicating its dominance in the mixture.
Conclusion: It is concluded that the prospective sesame farmers could grow varieties O2m and O3l in place of the popular E-8 because intercropping with maize did not affect their performances in both years.

Breeding programs aim at obtaining superior genotypes. The multivariate analysis allows simultaneously assessing a large number of variables and interesting genotypes. The objective of the present study is to assess the yield potential of different sunflower genetic classes. A randomized block design, with four repetitions, and eight sunflower genotypes was used in the current experiment. Principal component analyses were performed for the variables plant height, lower stem diameter, upper stem diameter, chapter diameter, chapter weigh, achene weight and grouping. The method by UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Using an Arithmetic Average) was used to assess the oil content. The upper stem diameter, lower stem diameter and plant height variables showed high positive correlation, as well as chapter diameter, chapter weight and plant height. Variables lower stem diameter and achene weight were not correlated. Genotypes Olisun-3 and Aguará-4 showed potential for the selection of the chapter diameter, chapter weight and achene weight variables; the hybrids Charrua e Olisun-5 was adopted for upper stem diameter, plant height and lower stem diameter character selections. The open-cross varieties presented higher oil content percentage.

This study aims to determine the effects of sunflower oil supplementation on performance, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and blood metabolites in crossbred goats. Randomized complete block with sub sampling; with 3 treatments, 3 sub sampling and 4 experiment periods as blocks were conducted using 9 crossbred (Boer x Macheng Black) female goats with an initial body weight (BW) around 20.96±1.79 kg were used in our experiment. Three levels of sunflower oil supplementation (sunflower oil = S; 0, 33, and 66 g kg-1 of dry matter (DM)) to commercial complete feed were used for the treatment arrangement. Every experiment period was done in three weeks and rested one week before the next period at the individual cages. Nutrient digestibility (except ether extract (EE)), protozoa counts and ammonia-N (NH3-N) concentration were decreased; molar proportions of volatile fatty acids (VFA) were changed; blood metabolites (except cholesterol) were not affected by sunflower oil supplementation. The inclusion of sunflower oil had no adverse effect on performance; thus improve dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), feed efficiency (FE) which S33 was better than S0 and S66. In conclusion, the best result was sunflower oil supplementation 33 g kg-1 of DM (S33); because compared with control, improve ADG (31.79%) and FE (15.32%)). Sunflower oil supplementation could improve performance by positively affecting the ruminal on rumen fermentation in crossbred (Boer x Macheng Black) female goats.

Published: June 2019

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important crop after wheat, corn, rice and barley. The aim of this research was to study morphological characterization of the plant population of grain sorghum cultivar CIAP 132R-05 regenerated via somatic embryogenesis under semi controlled conditions in green house. Plants regenerated from somatic embryos were compared to plants grown from botanical seeds. Both populations of plants were characterized morphologically, taking in account quantitative traits (plant height (cm), stem diameter, number of active leaves per plant, limb length and width, number of active roots per plant, length of the roots (cm), fresh weight (gMF), foliar area (dm2), number of shoots per plant) and qualitative traits (albino or variegated plants, color of the leaves). Quantitative characteristics of both populations corresponded with those listed in the National Register of Commercial Varieties of Cuba. However; the population of plants derived from somatic embryos showed significantly higher values ​​for plant height, stem diameter, limb length and width, which may be associated with the physiological rejuvenation produced by the effect of in vitro culture. This allowed to determine the phenotypic stability of the regenerated plants via somatic embryogenesis, by assessing morphological characters in field conditions. The results can be applied to the in vitro propagation of elite plants selected as a product of conventional breeding programs and obtained through the use of different biotechnological methods.

Abstract

Objective
Data on noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in the automotive industry are rare. This pilot study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of NIHL among workers in the automotive industry in China.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 6557 participants from the automotive industry. The questionnaire survey was administered, and individual noise exposure level (LAeq.8h) and hearing loss level were measured.

Results
Of participants, 96.43% were male; the median age was 27.0 years and 28.82% had NIHL defined as adjusted high-frequency noise-induced hearing loss (AHFNIHL). Concerning individual noise levels (LAeq.8h), 62.53% exceeded 85 dB(A), which were mainly concentrated in various jobs, including metal cutting, surface treatment, stamping, welding, grinding, assembly, plastic molding, and forging. Each typical noise source generated its own unique temporal waveform shape with the type of non-Gaussian noise. Of workers, 53.15% regularly used hearing protector devices (HPD), and the proportion of regular HPD use increased with LAeq.8h. The trend test showed that the prevalence of AHFNIHL in male workers significantly increased with an increase in LAeq.8h at &lt;94 dB(A) and cumulative noise exposure (CNE) in each age group (P &lt; 0.05 or P &lt; 0.01). A logistic regression analysis showed that CNE and HPD usage frequency were important factors contributing to AHFNIHL.

Conclusions
CNE and HPD usage frequency were the determinants for NIHL. Much more human surveys are needed to understand the prevalence and determinants of NIHL in the automotive industry in China.
