IMAGENS DA DOCÊNCIA ENTRE LICENCIANDOS: VISUALIDADES COMUNS E TRANSGRESSORAS.
Authors: Sardelich Maria Emilia 
Published: April 2017

Este artigo tem por objetivo dar visibilidade às representações da docência que estão se construindo entre licenciandos em um contexto de desprofissionalização e excesso de informação/imagens que afetam nossos modos de pensar, agir e aprender. A investigação, realizada com licenciandos da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), situa-se no âmbito dos Estudos Culturais, mais precisamente no campo da Cultura Visual, compreendendo o visual como lugar de interação social, no qual transitam enunciados conflitantes em meio a processos de identificação. Os resultados alcançados apontam para uma visualidade comum atrelada à missão docente vocacional. Junto a essa visualidade comum também emergem outras que sinalizam um modo transgressor de ver e ver-se na docência.

Authors: Rocha Keuri Costa Carvalhais da , Garrutti Erica Aparecida 
Published: April 2017

Este artigo se volta para o conhecimento de especificidades do atendimento das necessidades educacionais de uma criança com deficiência visual matriculada na Educação Infantil. Tem como objetivo analisar como ocorre a participação de uma criança cega em processo de inclusão em uma instituição de Educação Infantil. A pesquisa foi realizada em um grupo de maternal em uma creche do município de Guarulhos, Estado de São Paulo, em que havia uma criança cega matriculada. Pautou-se no caráter qualitativo e se configurou como um estudo de caso, tendo como participantes: uma criança cega, as duas educadoras da turma do maternal, a coordenadora pedagógica e a vice-diretora da instituição. Para a coleta de dados, foram realizadas observações da rotina dessa turma em dois momentos: março e abril de 2012; e junho de 2012. Os instrumentos utilizados para registro dos episódios observados foram gravações em vídeos, fotografias e notas de campo. Posteriormente ao período de observação, entrevistaram-se as duas educadoras da turma, a coordenadora pedagógica e a vice-diretora. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram a importância e as contribuições da mediação nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, especificamente, no caso da criança cega. A perspectiva histórico-cultural de desenvolvimento humano, elaborada por Vygotsky (1897 - 1934), constituiu a base para a discussão.

Published: April 2017

Public lighting is a specific type of lighting system with various requirements. It is a lighting system which is subject to many influences. Some impacts are changing very rapidly but a lighting system is designed for a specific case. These effects are for example traffic density or the impact of weather. Comprehensive regulation taking into account all the effects not currently exist but particular systems taking into account the subtasks are occurring. The aim is to show the possibilities and also the technical prerequisites for the realization of such systems.

A study was conducted to address the wind energy potential over Lake Michigan to support a commercial wind farm. Lake Michigan is an inland sea in the upper mid-western United States. A laser wind sensor mounted on a floating platform was located at the mid-lake plateau in 2012 and about 10.5 kilometers from the eastern shoreline near Muskegon Michigan in 2013. Range gate heights for the laser wind sensor were centered at 75, 90, 105, 125, 150, and 175 meters. Wind speed and direction were measured once each second and aggregated into 10 minute averages. The two sample t-test and the paired-t method were used to perform the analysis. Average wind speed stopped increasing between 105 m and 150 m depending on location. Thus, the collected data is inconsistent with the idea that average wind speed increases with height. This result implies that measuring wind speed at wind turbine hub height is essential as opposed to using the wind energy power law to project the wind speed from lower heights. Average speed at the mid-lake plateau is no more that 10% greater than at the location near Muskegon. Thus, it may be possible to harvest much of the available wind energy at a lower height and closer to the shoreline than previously thought. At both locations, the predominate wind direction is from the south-southwest. The ability of the laser wind sensor to measure wind speed appears to be affected by a lack of particulate matter at greater heights.Article History: Received June 15th 2016; Received in revised form January 16th 2017; Accepted February 2nd 2017 Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Standridge, C., Zeitler, D., Clark, A., Spoelma, T., Nordman, E., Boezaart, T.A., Edmonson, J., Howe, G., Meadows, G., Cotel, A. and Marsik, F.

The dimensions of mediatized policy-making in Australian Indigenous affairs
Authors: McCallum Kerry , Waller Lisa 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThis article analyzes media-related policy-making practices in the bureaucratic realm of Indigenous affairs in Australia. It considers the implications of an increasingly media-oriented bureaucracy for particular social policies in the light of recent mediatization theory. A qualitative study explored how bureaucrats working in Indigenous affairs articulated their understanding of the news media’s role in policy development. The article identifies and describes five dimensions of mediatized bureaucratic practice – expertise, monitoring, anticipating, reacting and strategizing – and concludes that mediatized practices have permeated the very fabric of the policy-making process. It finds evidence of an increasingly intimate relationship between the logics and agendas of mainstream news media and bureaucrats working on complex and politically controversial policies. In Australia, mediatized policy-making practices contributed to both the intractability of Indigenous affairs policy and the introduction of radical policy solutions to address apparent policy failure. These findings add to the body of empirical research exploring the mediatization of policy-making and its implications for politically sensitive fields.
The Role of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights in Developing Norms and Standards on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights
Authors: Durojaye Ebenezer 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThis article examines the role of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Commission) in establishing norms and standards on HIV and human rights that will assist African governments in addressing human rights abuses in the context of HIV as well as in combating the spread of the epidemic. The article argues that through the promotional and protective mandate of the Commission, opportunity exists for the establishment of important norms and standards to guide African states in addressing human rights challenges raised by HIV/AIDS. It concludes by arguing that the African Commission needs to forge more collaboration with states and civil society groups to ensure proper implementation of its norms and standards at the national level
Methane Dry Reforming over Ni-Co/Al2O3: Kinetic Modelling in a Catalytic Fixed-bed Reactor
Authors: Benguerba Yacine , Virginie Mirella , Dumas Christine , Ernst Barbara 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
The dry reforming of CH4 was investigated in a catalytic fixed-bed reactor to produce hydrogen at different temperatures over supported bimetallic Ni-Co catalyst. The reactor model for the dry reforming of methane used a set of kinetic models: The Zhang et al model for the dry reforming of methane (DRM); the Richardson-Paripatyadar model for the reverse water gas shift (RWGS); and the Snoeck et al kinetics for the coke-deposition and gasification reactions. The effect of temperatures on the performance of the reactor was studied. The amount of each species consumed or/and produced were calculated and compared with the experimental determined ones. It was showed that the set of kinetic model used in this work gave a good fit and accurately predict the experimental observed profiles from the fixed bed reactor. It was found that reaction-4 and reaction-5 could be neglected which could explain the fact that this catalyst coked rapidly comparatively with other catalyst. The use of large amount of Ni-Co will lead to carbon deposition and so to the catalyst deactivation.
Topological based active and reactive power losses allocation method in both pool and bilateral-based electricity markets using power flow
Authors: Ahmadimanesh Alireza , Kalantar Mohsen 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
In this paper, a new loss allocation method in restructured power systems is proposed. The method is appropriate for active and reactive loss allocations. This method can also be used for allocation in both bilateral and pool-based markets. The basic idea of this method is to calculate the contribution of each transaction on the system losses by deactivating it. The share of each transaction from total active and reactive losses of the network is estimated. Furthermore, we will discuss how the participants would affect the system’s loss. Are they supporting the network by reducing the total losses or not? This method is tested on different test systems, but due to space limitation, only the results of proposed method on IEEE 14, 24 and 118-bus test systems are presented and discussed. Furthermore, different parameters effects such as the location of slack bus and load condition are investigated. The proposed method has appropriate results in all conditions.
An Effective Technique for Reducing Total Harmonics Distortion of Multilevel Inverter
Authors: Nageswara Rao G. , Chandra Sekhar K. , Sangameswararaju P. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
In this paper, an adaptive neuro fuzzy interference system (ANFIS) is proposed for eliminating voltage harmonics present in the multilevel inverter. It is achieved by reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) present in the multilevel inverter output voltage. Here, the voltage variation of the multilevel inverter is determined from the actual load voltage and the reference voltage. The voltage variations at different time intervals have been applied to the ANFIS. According to the voltage variations, the switching angles can be generated from the interference system. These switching angles can make the multilevel inverter output voltage with reduced THD. The proposed technique is implemented in the MATLAB/simulink working platform. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by the multilevel inverter output voltage without controller and with neuro fuzzy controller (NFC).

Published: April 2017

AbstractBackgroundRepeated intraperitoneal (IP) administration of paclitaxel (PTX) with concurrent systemic chemotherapy is clinically effective for the treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM) from gastric cancer. However, it is unclear how biochemical modifications may affect the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of IP administered PTX.MethodsIn a xenograft PM model using human gastric cancer cells, MKN45, fluorescein-conjugated PTX (OG-PTX) was given IP and the intra-tumor distribution of PTX examined with fluorescein microscopy.ResultsAfter IP injection, PTX was seen to directly infiltrate up to several hundred micrometers from the surface of the PM. Co-injection with 5 % non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid increased PTX infiltration and suppressed the development of PM more efficiently than PTX alone. PTX solubilized with amphiphilic polymer composed of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) efficiently formed a micellar formation 50–100 nm in diameter. IP injection of the nanomicellar PTX (PTX-30W) also showed significantly enhanced tumor infiltration and further inhibition of the growth of PM compared with PTX solubilized with Cremophor–ethanol (PTX-Cre). Finally, IP administration of NK105, another nanomicellar PTX, inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors as well as PM, compared with conventional PTX-Cre in the same murine model.ConclusionsPTX administered IP directly infiltrates PM and are thus a useful strategy for the treatment of PM. Drug modification with nanotechnology may further enhance penetration of PM resulting in improved clinical efficacy.

Published: April 2017

Abstract
This study presents the simulation and detailed analysis of the ignition of initially quiescent fuel/air mixtures by small, stationary, laser-heated spherical particles. Our simulations cover a wide parameter space by varying the kind of fuel, stoichiometry, heating rate, radical surface destruction efficiencies as well as particle size. The results agree well with experimentally determined particle surface temperatures at the time of ignition over the whole range of parameters. The surface temperatures required for ignition strongly depends on the kind of fuel and increases in the order hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, propane and methane. It also increases with decreasing particle size. By contrast, mixture stoichiometry and heating rate have a minor influence on the ignition temperatures. Comparisons with two-dimensional direct numerical simulations show that fast, but fully coupled one-dimensional simulations are sufficient to capture the details of the ignition event, permitting a systematic investigation for large number of conditions. At small particle radii (r≤2 mm) there exists a simple mapping of only two parameters, an apparent activation energy and a factor comprising thermo-physical properties of the gas phase that is able to estimate the particle surface temperature required for ignition. Such a map might be used for the safety assessment of ignition hazards by small hot particles as function of fuel, stoichiometry and particle size.

Abstract
Boraczyński, MT, Sozański, HA, and Boraczyński, TW. Effects of a 12-month complex proprioceptive-coordinative training program on soccer performance in prepubertal boys aged 10–11 years. J Strength Cond Res 33(5): 1380–1393, 2019—The aim was to examine the effects of a series of on-field proprioceptive-coordinative (P-C) exercises on motor performance (MP) in prepubertal soccer players. Fifty-three male soccer players aged 10.1–11.8 years were randomized among 2 experimental programs receiving P-C training (P-CT; n = 26) or regular training (RT; n = 27). A control group (C; n = 22) consisted of age-matched (10.3–11.9 years) cohorts not involved in any regular physical activity. Both experimental groups completed an identical 12-month comprehensive soccer program except training in P-CT was modified to substitute small-sided conditioning games with 24 multimode P-C exercises with modulated exercise intensity (every 8–9 weeks based on predicted maximal heart rate [HRmax]). Pre-, peri-, and posttraining measures included anthropometry and 5 tests assessing soccer-specific MP: movement rhythm (turning the ball backwards—T1), motor adaptation (running with the ball around poles—T2), spatial orientation (running to sequentially numbered balls—T3), balance (single-leg static balance—T4), and kinesthetic differentiation of movement (landing the ball on a 2 × 2 m sector—T5). Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed no significance between-group differences for age, anthropometry, and body-fat percentage at baseline. Significant main effects for group (P-CT vs. RT) were found in all tests (T1–T5) and main effects for time (group P-CT) in T3–T5, whereas a significant group × time interaction was observed only in T4 (F = 2.98, p = 0.0204). Post hoc tests indicated that P-CT attained significantly better results than RT at peritraining (by 26.4%; p < 0.01) and posttraining (by 31.9%, p < 0.01). Modulated exercise intensity had little effect on soccer performance (T1–T3, T5). Based on the results, it is recommended that the training of young soccer players be supplemented with the bilateral balance exercises and games used in the study. Furthermore, the suitability of monitoring HR in P-C exercises targeting the analyzed MP skills is questionable.

Abstract
Foulis, SA, Redmond, JE, Frykman, PN, Warr, BJ, Zambraski, EJ, and Sharp, MA. U.S. Army physical demands study: reliability of simulations of physically demanding tasks performed by combat arms soldiers. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3245–3252, 2017—Recently, the U.S. Army has mandated that soldiers must successfully complete the physically demanding tasks of their job to graduate from their Initial Military Training. Evaluating individual soldiers in the field is difficult; however, simulations of these tasks may aid in the assessment of soldiers' abilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of simulated physical soldiering tasks relevant to combat arms soldiers. Three cohorts of ∼50 soldiers repeated a subset of 8 simulated tasks 4 times over 2 weeks. Simulations included: sandbag carry, casualty drag, and casualty evacuation from a vehicle turret, move under direct fire, stow ammunition on a tank, load the main gun of a tank, transferring ammunition with a field artillery supply vehicle, and a 4-mile foot march. Reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), standard errors of measurement (SEMs), and 95% limits of agreement. Performance of the casualty drag and foot march did not improve across trials (p > 0.05), whereas improvements, suggestive of learning effects, were observed on the remaining 6 tasks (p ≤ 0.05). The ICCs ranged from 0.76 to 0.96, and the SEMs ranged from 3 to 16% of the mean. These 8 simulated tasks show high reliability. Given proper practice, they are suitable for evaluating the ability of Combat Arms Soldiers to complete the physical requirements of their jobs.

Published: April 2017

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays an important role in the development and maintenance of embryonic dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain. To study the function of TGF-β signaling in the adult nigrostriatal system, we generated transgenic mice with reduced TGF-β signaling in mature neurons. These mice display age-related motor deficits and degeneration of the nigrostriatal system. Increasing TGF-β signaling in the substantia nigra through adeno-associated virus expressing a constitutively active type I receptor significantly reduces 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration and motor deficits. These results suggest that TGF-β signaling is critical for adult DA neuron survival and that modulating this signaling pathway has therapeutic potential in Parkinson disease.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTWe show that reducing Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling promotes Parkinson disease-related pathologies and motor deficits, and increasing TGF-β signaling reduces neurotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, a parkinsonism-inducing agent. Our results provide a rationale to pursue a means of increasing TGF-β signaling as a potential therapy for Parkinson's disease.
