Territórios do sagrado: três séculos de vivências diaspóricas na irmandade de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito dos Homens Pretos de Florianópolis-SC
Authors: Rascke Karla Leandro , Cardoso Paulino De Jesus Francisco 
Published: May 2019

No presente texto, pretendemos refletir sobre experiências do sagrado numa das mais antigas instituições religiosas de Santa Catarina, a Irmandade de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito dos Homens Pretos em Florianópolis (SC). Nele ressaltamos como, em diferentes épocas históricas, irmãos e irmãs do Rosário vivenciaram a Irmandade e sua Igreja como um território do sagrado. Este trabalho é resultado de mais de uma década de pesquisa sobre a referida Irmandade, desde 2001, para a tese de Paulino Cardoso intitulada “Negros em Desterro: as experiências das populações de origem africana em Florianópolis” (2008), passando pela investigação do projeto de pesquisa “Irmandades e Confrarias Católicas de Africanos e Afrodescendentes em Desterro no século XIX” (2005), até a publicação da dissertação de Karla Leandro Rascke, sob forma de livro, com o título “Irmandades negras: memórias da diáspora no sul do Brasil” (2016). Entre um e outro, um imenso esforço de transcrição de documentos do acervo da Irmandade pelos membros do Grupo Pesquisa “Multiculturalismo: Estudos Africanos e Afrolatinoamericanos” (CNPq), que permitiu produzir diferentes trabalhos de conclusão de curso, monografias de especialização, dissertações de mestrado e tese de doutorado sobre o tema, trazendo à historiografia catarinense e brasileira um novo olhar sobre as irmandades afro. Nas reflexões produzidas, salta aos olhos a longevidade da instituição religiosa, associada ao poder de flexibilizar-se diante das dificuldades impostas pelas diferentes correlações de forças no tempo, sem perder aspectos importantes para o grupo, como a solidariedade com os desvalidos, o culto aos mortos e a incrível capacidade de situar seus devotos no mundo.

Abstract
Genetic testing in patients with von Willebrand disease completes phenotypic testing with an aim to confirm the von Willebrand factor defect at a molecular level. Structure of the VWF gene was described 30 years ago; since then a large number of mutations leading to VWD have been described in this gene. Thanks to describing these mechanisms it is possible to understand the pathogenesis of the most common congenital bleeding disorder.
In the Slovak Republic genetic testing is still not a routine part of VWD diagnostics. The National Center of Hemostasis and Thrombosis in Martin is the first department in Slovakia which has begun genetic testing of patients with VWD. Sequencing of the VWF gene has many limitations which are referred in more details within this article. Therefore, we decided to use the methods of new generation sequencing in combination with Sanger sequencing. We believe that soon we will have the first results which will help us to identify the possible cause of VWD in these patients.
Whole-Genome Sequencing in Relation to Resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Tuberculosis, a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, represents one of the deadliest infections worldwide. The incidence of resistant forms is increasing year by year; therefore, it is necessary to involve new methods for rapid diagnostics and treatment. One of the possible solutions is the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
The WGS provides an identification of complete genome of the microorganism, including all genes responsible for resistance, in comparison with other genotypic methods (eg. Xpert MTB / RIF or Hain line-probes) that are capable to detect only basic genes. WGS data are available in 1-9 days and several online software tools (TBProfiler, CASTB, Mykrobe PredictorTB) are used for their interpretation and analysis, compared to 3-8 weeks in the case of classic phenotypic evaluation.
Furthermore, WGS predicts resistance to the first-line antituberculotics with a sensitivity of 85-100% and a specificity of 85-100%.
This review elucidates the importance and summarizes the current knowledge about the possible use of WGS in diagnosis and treatment of resistant forms of tuberculosis elucidates.
WGS of M. tuberculosis brings new possibilities for rapid and accurate diagnostics of resistant forms of tuberculosis. Introducing WGS into routine practice can help to reduce the spread of resistant forms of tuberculosis as well as to increase the success rate of the treatment, especially through an appropriate combination of antituberculotics ATs. Introduction of WGS into routine diagnostics can, in spite of the financial difficulty, significantly improve patient care.

Published: May 2019

Abstract

Introduction: Voice disorders primarily affect workers in professions with increased voice demands, such as teaching personnel in educational system, singers, lecturers, actors or managers. Severe voice disorders often require a permanent change of work position.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of a set of patients with occupational voice disorders who were hospitalized at the Clinic of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, Martin University Hospital (COMaT, MUH) in the years of 2000–2017. Comparison of the data obtained with the National Centre of Medical Information (NCMI) data on the occurrence of occupational voice disorders throughout the Slovak Republic (SR). Comparison with the retrospective analysis of reported occupational voice disorders in the years of 1967-1996. Case report of a patient with an occupational voice disorder.

Results: We point to a long-term low incidence of occupational voice disorders. In the years of 2000-2017, 24 cases of occupational voice disorders were reported in Slovakia, of which 20 cases were reported under item 42-1 and 4 cases under item 42-2 in the List of Occupational Diseases. Through the COMaT, MUH 11 cases of occupational voice disorders were reported during these years, of which 9 cases were listed under item 42-1 and 2 cases under item 42-2. From 1967 to 1996 there were 52 occupational voice disorders reported in Slovakia, of which 45 were under item 42-1 and 7 under item 42-2.

Conclusions: As there is a tendency to underestimate the voice difficulties among teaching staff, it is necessary to provide better information about the possible consequences, prevention, and treatment of these diseases. All of this should be in the competency of occupational health services.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
In order to assess the effects of green synthesized nanoparticles (GNPs) of Zn and Fe oxides on plant growth traits, photosynthetic capacity and nutritional quality of red radish (cv. Champion), two open field experiments were organised based on RCBD with four replicates. Treatments included: chicken manure, foliar application of ZnO + FeO (GNPs at a rate of 60 and 50 ppm, respectively), chicken manure plus ZnO + FeO (GNPs). This study revealed that growth and yield of radish plants significantly increased by ZnO + FeO nanoparticles application. The maximum vegetative growth, leaf pigments and root quality (diameter and weight) were recorded in plants treated with ZnO + FeO (GNPs) alone or in combination with chicken manure. Furthermore, the combined application of chicken manure with ZnO and FeO significantly improved the concentration of anthocyanins, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, crude protein and carbohydrates contents in radish root than single treatment. Similar trends were noted in photosynthesis rate, water use efficiency and values of Zn and Fe contents. In addition, health risk index for Zn and Fe were less than 1, which indicated to red radish plants supplied with ZnO and FeO GNPs were free of risks on human health. It was concluded that combination between chicken manure and ZnO + FeO GNPs can be considered as appropriate strategy for improving yield and nutritional status of red radish.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Application of sewage sludge to soil is a potentially inexpensive source of nutrition for plants, but may contain undesirable and toxic substances, e.g. heavy metals. Alterations in microbial communities can serve as an environmental indicator of possible soil contamination. We used two molecular fingerprinting methods (Automated Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis, ARISA and Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, T-RFLP) to study changes in the genetic diversity of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of Arundo donax L. cultivated in the soil fertilised with additive based on sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plant and agricultural by-products represented by crushed corn hobs and wastes from grain mill industry. The metagenomic DNA extracted from rhizosphere samples were collected in August and November 2014. The amount of mgDNA was statistically higher in samples with additive than in control samples without it in both dates. The Venn diagrams showed that operational taxonomic units which were common to all samples were represented in 32.8% in ARISA and 43.4% in T-RFLP. However, based on Principal component analysis and subsequent PERMANOVA statistical tests did not confirm significant differences in the rhizosphere of control plants and plants grown in the soil supplemented with sewage sludge in dose 5 and 15 t/ha present in the additive.
Information System for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Value Chain: Case Study of Albania
Authors: Lekoçaj Julian , Hoxha Valter 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

Background: Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) are part of a few products that Albania exports in World’s level. The results showed us that the available MAPs value chain information in Albania through several cases is limited and doesn’t match with reality. Objectives: Our research aims to verify the actual situation of the information system between the actors of the MAPs value chain in Albania. Methods/Approach: In this research is used the systemic method, which takes into consideration the analysis through all the main value chain links. For each value of the chain links has been selected a statistical representation number or a sample. Results: The actors that operate through the MAPs market in Albania are in front of the asymmetric information. The sources and the methods used are not on the proper level to offer the real results in this value chain. There are many information system sources for the Albanian MAPs sector, but none of them offers any detailed data about the quantity and the value on plant’s level. Conclusions: The information system of the MAPs value chain is not functional through all the links, while the fabrication still remains on limited levels. The creation of a monitoring system database in time and space for the entire MAPs sector is a necessity.

Published: May 2019

Abstract

Background: The crucial elements of a smart factory, employees, machines, and products, have an important effect on current business models. Objectives: The main aim of our study is to present a case study of the impact of Industry 4.0 on the business model in a smart factory. The paper discusses the changes of business models of the organisation and determines critical factors that influence the business models in a knowledge society. Methods/Approach: Our sample included managers, from the company TPV, who are in charge of implementing a digital business model, and who are the most knowledgeable informants on the topic of our study. Data was obtained from, most widely used method for data collection in qualitative research, semi-structured interviews with managers. Content analysis was conducted for the purpose of our study. Results: Results of our study show that the major change will be that machines will have a “mind” of their own, whose main goal will be to work in production, and the role of employees will be primarily in expressing their creativity, carrying out urgent interventions and performing custody of processes. The key critical factors influencing business models in a smart factory are top management and leadership orientations, motivation of employees, collective wisdom, creativity and innovations. Conclusions: The study represents useful guidelines for strategic management of innovative companies in the earliest stages of the process of decision-making process.
What matters: The Formation of University Spin-offs in Europe
Authors: Hunady Jan , Orviska Marta , Pisar Peter 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

Background: Transfer of knowledge from academia to business is one of the crucial issues for creating innovation. Creation of university spin-offs could significantly improve this transfer. Objectives: The main scientific aim is to examine the differences between universities in European countries and identify factors affecting the probability of creating the university spin-off. The paper is also focused on the differences in the specialization and financial sources of universities. Methods/Approach: We compare selected indicators for higher education institutions in European countries and examine potential determinants affecting the probability of academic spin-off formation. With respect to the main aim, the logit and probit regression analyses have been used. Results: Our results show that the creation of spin-offs is typical on the one hand for highly specialized universities or on the other hand for universities with a wide variety of study programs. They should also have an optimum number of doctoral students and have mostly less funding from tuition fees. Conclusions: Several indicators appear to play an important role in the formation of university spin-off. These indicators are the level of specialization, the share of tuition fees in the University budget, and the share of Ph.D. and foreign students.

Authors: McConalogue Eoghan , Davis Paul , Connolly Regina 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

Background: Recently the European Union, through its Horizon 2020 fund has awarded numerous research projects tasked with the development of cloud-based health technology solutions. A number of these projects have a specific focus on ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies; solutions that offer a unique opportunity to improve the quality of life of persons with mild cognitive impairments. The diffusion of these solutions across a European wide cloud infrastructure presents a novel opportunity to reduce economic pressures currently experienced by European health systems. However, no route to market framework currently exists for a European wide healthcare delivery system. Objectives: The goal of the paper is to conduct the review and develop the literature around technology assessment for AAL technologies and route to market frameworks. Methods/Approach: We highlight the role of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when conducting a technology assessment by reviewing existent literature. Results: We discuss three TCO models that can support the assessment of AAL technologies. Conclusions: There is a gap in the analysis of TCO models in the context of AAL technologies particularly in public and private sector collaborations. TCO process should be developed into a key award criterion when conducting AAL technology assessment and procurements, thus aiding long term strategic decision making.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Scenarios modelling offers to forest management an option how to envision complex future associated with various natural, social, or economic uncertainties. The challenge is what modelling method to choose as many methodological approaches to scenario building exists. Morphological analysis is a basic modelling method for structuring and analysing a whole set of relationships existing in multi-dimensional, non-quantifiable, and complex topics. Especially, its application is relevant when abstract policy or market-driven challenges need to be investigated. In this study, we demonstrated the usefulness of the morphological analysis with an example case taken from forest management in Slovakia. The use of the method has enabled, from a number of uncertain futures, to identify three possible, plausible and consistent future scenarios of possible forest management direction in the regions of Podpoľanie and Kysuce. Additionally, the future scenario modelling as prognostic method of qualitative research supported by quantitative models or forestry DSS could introduce participation and more dimensions into forest management modelling. Thus, the future scenarios modelling offers new methodological possibilities to how to deal with increasing uncertainties associated with increasing demands for various ecosystem services or negative impacts of climate change, that forest management in Slovakia will face in the near future.
Distribution and types of windmills in Pomerania across the 19th century in the light of cartographic sources
Authors: Prarat Maciej 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The aim of this text is to evaluate the distribution of windmills in Pomerania, an area which stretches from Gdańsk to Toruń, over the period of the nineteenth century. The basic research method was to analyse various maps from both the early nineteenth century and the late nineteenth century. The results made it possible to state that the total number windmills increased by a factor of three, and that this referred mainly to cereal mills. The number of vertical windmills with rotating caps increased at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but the number of drainage windmills remained unchanged. The very high demand for wind energy was a result of significant economic development within the Prussian partition in the second half of the nineteenth century. Cartographic sources allowed this phenomenon to be verified in the most complete way.

FEATURES OF AESTHETIC SIGNS IN KOREAN ZODIAC-RELATED COMPARATIVE PROVERBS
Authors: Yen Hoang Thi , Hai Anh Hoang Thi 
Published: May 2019

Aesthetic signs in Korean comparative proverbs having the structure t like B with t being a verb refer to aesthetic material, which are the 12 animals in Oriental Zodiac and their typical action. The verbs expressing t in aesthetic signs include human actions and actions/movements of the Zodiac animals. Aesthetic signs with t being monovalent verbs (or those which do not require an object) include verbs of movements (e.g. go, walk, chase, jump), non-movement (e.g. sit, stick, shake, gather) and verbs of sound (e.g. talk, scream, yell, call). Aesthetic signs with t being bivalent verbs (or those requiring an object) include verbs denoting human basic daily activities (e.g. look, eat/drink, hit/throw, copy). Proverbs are expressed in very lively and clear manner, reflecting how Korean people think, feel and treat the world around in general and the Zodiac animals in particular.
O MITO DA REPRESENTAÇÃO POLÍTICA - DO PROCESSO DE REPRESENTAÇÃO POLÍTICA À CONSTRUÇÃO DOS DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS: UMA ANÁLISE DA ATUAL SITUAÇÃO REPRESENTATIVA NO BRASIL
Authors: Andrade Thais machado de , Coura Alexandre de Castro 
Published: May 2019

A representação política, constituída pela era moderna, é a forma pelo qual um grupo de indivíduos atua nas decisões estatais em nome de outro, por um tempo determinado, reconhecido pelo status de cidadão. A isto tem-se como Democracia Representativa, ou seja, o direito do povo de participar do processo de escolha daqueles que irão representar seus interesses dentro da administração política do Estado. E, portanto, os representantes eleitos deverão agir em nome daqueles que representa, em prol do bem comum. Portanto, a representação política estaria vinculada ao propósito da democracia, ou seja, de um governo do povo. Estaria se, no entanto, não fosse, historicamente, a tomada do poder por uma elite na conjugação dos seus próprios interesses. Dessa forma, Carl Schmitt, vai escrever sobre essa relação entre amigo e inimigo que instaura-se no conceito de política e, nessa perspectiva, a partir da representação política, não seria possível a existência de uma democracia.

Published: May 2019

A concepção de que a finalidade do Direito é pacificação social é arraigada no meio jurídico, encontrada nos mais diversos autores, especialmente, na atualidade, dentre aqueles que defendem métodos não judiciais de resolução de conflitos. Contudo, os significados de paz ou pacificação social, finalidade última do Direito, não são esclarecidos, constituindo-se numa “falácia não formal”. Diante disso, o objetivo geral do presente artigo é problematizar o conceito de pacificação social a partir de concepções de pazes dentro da perspectiva dos estudos para a paz. Para tanto, este artigo se configura numa revisão bibliográfica interdisciplinar, abordando quatro conceitos de paz, a liberal, a liberal, a total, a positiva e a imperfeita, que instrumentalização ações de pacificação social. A conclusão expressa a necessidade de se realizar pesquisas empíricas sobre a temática
