¿Hacia la “falsa conciencia” o hacia la “conciencia de clase”? Apuntes en torno a la ideología en la obra de Marx
Authors: Cristeche Mauro 
Published: September 2016

Este trabajo se propone intervenir en la discusión sobre la noción de ideología en la obra de Marx, tratando de seguir el curso del desarrollo que realiza el autor para desentrañar su significación. Se toman como referencia los textos: La ideología alemana, que produjo junto a Engels, y El Capital, en particular los primeros capítulos.Se proponen dos ejes de discusión. Por un lado, partiendo de la hipótesis de que El Capital es la obra en que Marx alcanza el mayor desarrollo científico en torno a la ideología como forma de la conciencia de los individuos, se plantea que la ideología es la enajenación de la conciencia en el capital como relación social general en el modo de producción capitalista; y, en consecuencia, la clase obrera, como portadora de la necesidad de superación del capitalismo, no necesita desarrollar su ideología de clase, sino avanzar críticamente sobre su enajenación. Por otro lado, el ordenamiento jurídico es el conjunto de formas jurídicas en que se expresa la relación social capitalista, y tiene una función ideológica; para una “crítica de raíz” a tal relación social, no cabe formular una teoría crítica del derecho, sino una crítica del derecho
O Método na Sociologia do Direito: Ehrlich visitado por Pachukanis
Authors: Da Silveira Moreira Júlio 
Published: September 2016

Este artigo propõe um enfoque teórico-metodológico sobre a Sociologia Jurídica, e se constrói a partir da definição dessa disciplina e da contribuição de Eugen Ehrlich, analisado à luz do método materialista dialético do qual faz parte Evgeni Pachukanis. O contexto introdutório do artigo leva em consideração a explicação, por Alysson Mascaro, dos três caminhos do pensamento jurídico contemporâneo. A concepção de Ehrlich se opõe ao normativismo mais tradicional do pensamento jurídico, sedimentado por Hans Kelsen, pois busca encontrar o direito nas instituições sociais e não no formalismo das normas. Pachukanis aponta o direito como um fenômeno específico da sociedade capitalista, que introduz as noções de igualdade e liberdade no plano jurídico abstrato para sustentar relações de circulação e produção de mercadorias, chegando aos conceitos de sujeito de direito e de relação jurídica. A estrutura do artigo se baseia, portanto, na crítica de Ehrlich a Kelsen e na na crítica de Pachukanis a ambos, concluindo com uma contribuição relevante para que o jurista sociólogo possa captar a realidade por trás da abstração das relações jurídicas.

Providing Assurance for Sustainability Reports: An Instructional Case
Authors: Brown Veena Looknanan , Kohlbeck Mark J. 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Due to increased interest in sustainability from non-governmental organizations (NGO), investors, and other stakeholders, many companies prepare sustainability reports, sometimes with third-party assurance as to the veracity of their claims. This instructional case provides a challenging and enriching experience for students in which the provision of assurance services on nonfinancial sustainability reporting is addressed. The case involves determining the procedures necessary to provide assurance on a sustainability report where procedures are non-standard and may vary substantially from client to client. To arrive at a solution, students are required to familiarize themselves with sustainability reporting in general and use judgment in deciding the most appropriate type of assurance and related procedures to provide. Students are also asked to discuss a number of related topics including the need for assurance in this area and auditor independence issues. This instructional resource provides students with an opportunity to gain an understanding of sustainability reporting and assurance. The case is appropriate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate auditing courses in which assurance services other than audits are discussed and can be assigned on an individual or group basis for out-of-class preparation, followed by in-class discussion.
Are Accountants Made or Born? An Analysis of Self-Selection into the Accounting Major and Performance in Accounting Courses and on the CPA Exam
Authors: Blay Allen D. , Fennema M. G. 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
This study examines whether college students self-select into the accounting major based on accounting decision-making ability that they bring with them to their first accounting course and whether such ability is associated with performance in accounting coursework and on the CPA Examination. We analyzed the performance on three financial and managerial accounting-related tasks of 1,110 students prior to taking a principles of financial accounting course for the first time. We found that students who intend to be accounting majors performed no better on these tasks than other first-time accounting students. However, we found a strong correlation between performance on these tasks and ultimate performance in accounting courses and on the CPA Examination after controlling for measures of intelligence, academic performance, task effort, and demographic factors. Thus, we conclude that high-performing accounting majors start their college education with a greater ability to perform at least some accounting-related tasks, but that those students do not self-select into the accounting major based on these abilities. In a follow-up study upon completion of their accounting degree, we found that students with lower incoming ability to complete these tasks were not able to catch up with their higher-ability accounting major peers. In addition, they did not improve performance on the accounting-related tasks any more than a lower-ability non-accounting major despite having earned an accounting degree.

Are You Making Learning Too Easy? Effects of Grouping Accounting Problems on Students' Learning
Authors: Phillips Fred 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Prior accounting education research claims learning outcomes are improved by grouping together similar accounting practice problems rather than presenting such problems in an interleaved order. The present study revisits this prior research by asking whether making initial problem solving easier inadvertently leads to less durable longer-term learning. The evidence in the present study confirms that grouping practice problems helps students complete problem-solving practice in less time and with greater accuracy; this performance improvement is evident on a test given immediately after problem-solving practice. However, grouping together similar practice problems significantly reduces longer-term learning, as measured by a delayed test given one week after problem-solving practice. Further, the present study shows the efficient problem-solving experience created through grouping practice problems fools students into thinking they will be able to successfully solve similar problems in the future, and it also misguides them into believing they will need to study less when preparing for an upcoming test involving similar problems. This study raises the possibility that initial instruction is most effective when it does not simplify but rather presents learners with a desirable level of difficulty.
Clinical Evaluation of Genotoxicity of In-office Bleaching
Authors: Rezende M , De Geus JL , Loguercio AD , Reis A , Kossatz D 
Published: September 2016

SUMMARY
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxicity of in-office bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide in epithelial cells from the gingival and lip tissues.
Methods and Materials: Thirty volunteers with central incisors shade A1 or darker were selected for this study. The gingival tissue of the teeth to be bleached was isolated with a light-polymerized resin dam, and the 35% hydrogen peroxide gel was administered during three 15-minute applications over the course of the 45-minute application period. Two bleaching sessions with a one-week interval in between were performed. Exfoliated oral mucosa gingival epithelial cells and upper lip lining were collected at baseline and one month after the in-office dental bleaching. The scraped cells were placed on clean glass slides and smears were prepared. After staining with Giemsa solution, two blinded examiners performed cell and micronuclei counts under a 100× optical microscope. Tooth sensitivity was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Shade evaluation was recorded before and one month after the bleaching treatment with the value-oriented shade guide Vita Bleachedguide 3D-MASTER and the spectrophotometer Vita Easyshade. Data from the shade guide units and the micronuclei (MN) frequency were subjected to a Mann-Whitney test (α=0.05). The overall difference between before and one month after the bleaching treatment (ΔE and ΔSGU), absolute risk, and intensity of tooth sensitivity (TS) were calculated, as was the 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: The frequency of MN was not increased after bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide in both study groups (p&gt;0.05). The absolute risk of TS of the participants was 93% (95% CI, 79%-98%), with a mean VAS intensity of 5.7 ± 2.9 (95% CI, 4.6-6.8). Meaningful whitening was observed after bleaching. The change in shade guide units in the Bleachedguide 3D-MASTER was 2.3 ± 1.4. In terms of ΔE, the change in color was 7.7 ± 3.5.
Conclusions: The in-office bleaching did not induce DNA damage to the gingival and lip tissue during the bleaching period. Although effective whitening was observed, most of the participants experienced TS.
Feminisms from the Perspective of Afro-Brazilian Women
Authors: Cardoso Cláudia Pons , Adelman Miriam 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article was written on the basis of interviews with 22 Afro-Brazilian activist women. It uses research on their trajectories to show how, as political subjects, they have used inequalities based on class, race, gender, and sexuality as instruments for the construction of an identity as activists in Black women's movements and for building the movement as a place for protagonism and for experiences that successfully challenge the powers that be. Furthermore, the article explores Brazilian feminist discourse, as it is recreated through the specific demands of Black women. The concept of feminism was first appropriated on Brazilian soil by educated white middle-class women who, in the process, built a particular history in which poor and Black women found little room to express their needs. Black women have been developing a critique of this appropriation since the initial debates on this issue began in the 1970s and 1980s. They have pointed to the inadequacy of a certain feminism that is based on European and U.S. theories and which starts from the experiences of white women to interpret those of Black women, thereby neglecting the determinants of class and race. On the other hand, the elements that are mobilized to provide a basis for the critique of white feminism make it hard for Black women activists to work more closely with white feminists in a unified movement. Nonetheless, the premises of a conception that promotes the emancipation of women are shared, appropriated, and reworked in order to understand Black women's reality. Thus, Brazilian Black women have built their political autonomy—that is, their ability to read and interpret reality—coming up with their own version of feminist thought based on the concrete and historical experiences of Black women, as they run counter to the established order and are nourished by a Black African cosmovision or point of view, constitutive of Afro-Brazilian civilizational values. The latter elements form the basis for their thought, supplying thematic content and an epistemological perspective that promote a politics for decolonizing knowledge. This signifies methodological detachment from dominant perspectives, enabling them to examine history from the point of view of Afro-Brazilian women, who have historically been excluded from what has been referred to as “hegemonic knowledge.”
Geographies of Power: Black Women Mobilizing Intersectionality in Brazil
Authors: Perry Keisha-Khan Y. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, rarely are black women, especially poor black women, considered leaders of social movements, much less political theorists. While Afro-Brazilian women are at the very heart of the struggle for urban housing and land rights in Salvador, the prevailing image of black women, particularly those who live in poor neighborhoods, is that they lack the knowledge and political sophistication needed to organize mass social movements. This article seeks to undermine this image by exploring how black women have come to radicalize local communities. It also explores why they are the main political actors interpreting the racial, gender, and class dynamics of urban development policies and fighting to reform projects of socio-spatial inclusion in cities. Bridging the scholarly gap between black feminist theorization and the grassroots practice of intersectionality, I argue that black women who organize as blacks, women, and poor people provide key insights into how intersectionality is mobilized for social and poltical change. Furthemore, the ethnographic focus on black women's activism illustrates the ways in which grassroots politics have advanced our understanding of intersectional identity formation in relationship to the material interests of the marginalized communities in Brazil.

ABSTRACT
Heartbeat stars (HB stars) are a class of eccentric binary stars with close periastron passages. The characteristic photometric HB signal evident in their light curves is produced by a combination of tidal distortion, heating, and Doppler boosting near orbital periastron. Many HB stars continue to oscillate after periastron and along the entire orbit, indicative of the tidal excitation of oscillation modes within one or both stars. These systems are among the most eccentric binaries known, and they constitute astrophysical laboratories for the study of tidal effects. We have undertaken a radial velocity (RV) monitoring campaign of Kepler HB stars in order to measure their orbits. We present our first results here, including a sample of 22 Kepler HB systems, where for 19 of them we obtained the Keplerian orbit and for 3 other systems we did not detect a statistically significant RV variability. Results presented here are based on 218 spectra obtained with the Keck/HIRES spectrograph during the 2015 Kepler observing season, and they have allowed us to obtain the largest sample of HB stars with orbits measured using a single instrument, which roughly doubles the number of HB stars with an RV measured orbit. The 19 systems measured here have orbital periods from 7 to 90 days and eccentricities from 0.2 to 0.9. We show that HB stars draw the upper envelope of the eccentricity–period distribution. Therefore, HB stars likely represent a population of stars currently undergoing high eccentricity migration via tidal orbital circularization, and they will allow for new tests of high eccentricity migration theories.

Published: September 2016

Purpose: The issue resource over-allocating is a big concern for project engineers in the process of scheduling project activities. Resource over-allocating drawback is frequently seen after scheduling of a project in practice which causes a schedule to be useless. Modifying an over-allocated schedule is very complicated and needs a lot of efforts and time. In this paper, a new and fast tracking method is proposed to schedule large scale projects which can help project engineers to schedule the project rapidly and with more confidence.Design/methodology/approach: In this article, a forward approach for maximizing net present value (NPV) in multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem while assuming discounted positive cash flows (MRCPSP-DCF) is proposed. The progress payment method is used and all resources are considered as pre-emptible. The proposed approach maximizes NPV using unscheduled resources through resource calendar in forward mode. For this purpose, a Genetic Algorithm is applied to solve.Findings: The findings show that the proposed method is an effective way to maximize NPV in MRCPSP-DCF problems while activity splitting is allowed. The proposed algorithm is very fast and can schedule experimental cases with 1000 variables and 100 resources in few seconds. The results are then compared with branch and bound method and simulated annealing algorithm and it is found the proposed genetic algorithm can provide results with better quality. Then algorithm is then applied for scheduling a hospital in practice.Originality/value: The method can be used alone or as a macro in Microsoft Office Project® Software to schedule MRCPSP-DCF problems or to modify resource over-allocated activities after scheduling a project. This can help project engineers to schedule project activities rapidly with more accuracy in practice.
IL-17 Augments B Cell Activation in Ocular Surface Autoimmunity
Authors: Subbarayal Brinda , Chauhan Sunil K. , Di Zazzo Antonio , Dana Reza 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Accumulating evidence shows that IL-17 is critically involved in diverse autoimmune diseases. However, its effect on the induction and progression of the humoral immune response is not fully understood. Using a preclinical model of IL-17–mediated dry eye disease, we demonstrate that upon encountering both the BCR and a secondary T cell signal, IL-17 can enhance B cell proliferation and germinal center formation in dry eye disease mice, suggesting that a stable Ag-dependent T–B cell interaction is required. Additionally, IL-17 also promotes the differentiation of B cells into isotype-switched B cells and plasma cells. Furthermore, we show that Th17 cells are more effective than Th1 cells to provide B cell help. Reduced B cell response correlates with significant reduction in clinical disease after in vivo IL-17A neutralization. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate a new role of IL-17 in promoting autoimmunity in part through directly enhancing B cell proliferation, differentiation, and plasma cell generation.
How much cryosphere model complexity is just right? Exploration using the conceptual cryosphere hydrology framework
Authors: Mosier Thomas M. , Hill David F. , Sharp Kendra V. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract. Making meaningful projections of the impacts that possible future climates would have on water resources in mountain regions requires understanding how cryosphere hydrology model performance changes under altered climate conditions and when the model is applied to ungaged catchments. Further, if we are to develop better models, we must understand which specific process representations limit model performance. This article presents a modeling tool, named the Conceptual Cryosphere Hydrology Framework (CCHF), that enables implementing and evaluating a wide range of cryosphere modeling hypotheses. The CCHF represents cryosphere hydrology systems using a set of coupled process modules that allows easily interchanging individual module representations and includes analysis tools to evaluate model outputs. CCHF version 1 (Mosier, 2016) implements model formulations that require only precipitation and temperature as climate inputs – for example variations on simple degree-index (SDI) or enhanced temperature index (ETI) formulations – because these model structures are often applied in data-sparse mountain regions, and perform relatively well over short periods, but their calibration is known to change based on climate and geography. Using CCHF, we implement seven existing and novel models, including one existing SDI model, two existing ETI models, and four novel models that utilize a combination of existing and novel module representations. The novel module representations include a heat transfer formulation with net longwave radiation and a snowpack internal energy formulation that uses an approximation of the cold content. We assess the models for the Gulkana and Wolverine glaciated watersheds in Alaska, which have markedly different climates and contain long-term US Geological Survey benchmark glaciers. Overall we find that the best performing models are those that are more physically consistent and representative, but no single model performs best for all of our model evaluation criteria.

Purpose To compare visual function after implantation of multifocal Lentis comfort LS-313 MF 15 (group 1) or Lentis M plus LS-313 MF 30 (group 2) intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods Patients between 49 and 76 years of age who received monocular cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation were analyzed. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and for 5 months postoperatively for distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities, and static photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity. A satisfaction questionnaire was administered 5 months after surgery. Results Group 1 comprised 21 eyes and group 2 contained 34 eyes. Both groups had a statistically significant improvement in uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities postoperatively (p<0.01). Uncorrected visual near acuity at 40 cm was better in group 2 (1 month: p = 0.013; 5 months: p = 0.051). Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity at 70 cm was better in group 1 (1 month: p = 0.060; 5 months: p = 0.044). No significant differences in contrast sensitivity were observed between the groups. Glare and halo symptoms were better in group 1 (glare: p = 0.044; halo: p = 0.029). Conclusions Inferior sector-shaped, near-addition IOLs with lower add powers (+1.5 D) provide good vision over longer working distances and show fewer glare and halo symptoms.
