Authors: Sedilo G. M. , Vovk S. O. , Petryshyn M. A. , Khomyk M. M. 
Published: May 2017

We studied the milk production, the condition of nutritional status, the intensity of growth and development of suckling lambs and the activity of individual enzymes in the blood plasma with optimization of the level of protein and energy in rations of lactating ewes of Ascanian meat and wool breed in the Foothills of the Carpathians. It is known, that the geochemical zone of the Carpathian region is characterized by specific protein composition and energy value of feeds. Therefore, studies aimed at adjusting the rations of pregnant and lactating ewes of the Askanian breed in this zone according to the level of protein and energy in the winter-stall period and their influence on the productive qualities and course of metabolism in animals, have an important scientific and practical significance. The study was carried out on 2 groups of lactating ewes-analogues (10 heads each) of Askanian meat and wool breed with crossbred wool in the «Hrusyatychi» Farm of the Institute of Agriculture of the Carpathian region of the National Academy of Sciences, during the stall period. The duration of the experiment is 90 days. The diet of the ewes of the control group consisted of 1.6 kg of hay meadow, 0.5 kg of whole grain of oats and 0.5 kg of compound feed according to the prescription K80-6-89, the research group's ewes received experimental mixed feeds, in which the part of the grain base was replaced with pea bran, sunflower and canola rapeseed meal and linseed meal. The diet of the control and experimental groups differed insignificantly. The diet of the control group of ewes contained 21.7 MJ of exchange energy, 187 g of digestible protein, 2.29 kg of dry matter, and in the diet of the experimental group, respectively, 22.1 MJ of exchange energy, 188 g of digestible protein and 2.26 kg of dry matter . In one kilogram of dry matter, the fodder of the sheep of the control group contained 9.5 MJ of exchange energy, and the experimental group animals – 9.8 MJ. It was found, that adjusting the level of protein and energy in the standard feed for lactating ewes in the zone of the Carpathians by introducing into it of local high-protein supplements provides maintaining the weights for the lactation period; increase the average daily milk yield after suckling lambs by 23.8%; increase the average daily growth of suckling lambs by 6.7–13.9%; physiological level of activity of alanineaminotransferase, aspartateaminotransferase and lactatedehydrogenase in blood plasma.

Published: May 2017

La cohesión espacial puede ser también cohesión social en tanto se construya territorios de inclusión. Es decir, entre la segregación social y la integración urbana se ubica la estrategia de la cohesión espacial de los tejidos colectivos, aquellos que forman –aún- la base física de las relaciones humanas en el proceso de territorialización, cohesión que sin embargo está en el terreno de la prospectiva y en la agenda de los proyectos, es un programa de trabajo tanto académico como político.La búsqueda de un territorio-inclusivo, frente a la ciudad-represión, se expresa en el proyecto de la cohesión espacial de uso colectivo, cohesión que exige por lo menos calidad y legibilidad arquitectónica, y la búsqueda de una estructura territorial para los equipamientos colectivos y en específico, una arquitectura para la calle como hábitat de protección, implica una aproximación que se expresa por lo menos en dos vectores: su base cartográfica y la indagación programática. Estas dos demandas pasan por lo tanto por una plataforma-software claramente superior a un temario normativo.

Treatment of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn: Use of Pulmonary Vasodilators in Term Neonates
Authors: Luecke Caitlyn , McPherson Christopher 
Published: May 2017

AbstractPersistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) represents a challenging condition associated with significant morbidity. A successful transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life is contingent on adequate pulmonary vasodilation. Several pathophysiologies contribute to the failure of this cascade and may result in life-threatening hypoxia and acidosis in the newborn. Management includes optimal respiratory support, adequate sedation and analgesia, and support of vascular tone and cardiac function. Pulmonary vasodilation has the potential to overcome the cycle of hypoxia and acidosis, improving outcome in these infants. Oxygen and inhaled nitric oxide represent the foundation of therapy. Tertiary pulmonary vasodilators represent a greater challenge, selecting between therapies that include prostanoids, sildenafil, and milrinone. Variable levels of evidence exist for each agent. Thorough review of available data informing efficacy and adverse effects contributes to the development of an informed approach to neonates with refractory PPHN.

Published: May 2017

<p class="3">The Online Student Connectedness Survey (OSCS) was introduced to the academic community in 2012 as an instrument designed to measure feelings of connectedness between students participating in online degree and certification programs. The purpose of this study was to examine data from the instrument for initial evidence of validity and reliability and to establish a nomological network between the OSCS, the Classroom Connectedness Survey (CCS), and the Community of Inquiry Survey (COI), which are similar instruments in the field. Results provided evidence of factor validity and reliability. Additionally, statistically and practically significant correlations were demonstrated between factors contained in the OSCS and established instruments measuring factors related to student connectedness. These results indicate that for the sample used in this study, the OSCS provides data that are valid and reliable for assessing feelings of connection between participants in online courses at institutions of higher learning.</p>
Paradigmas Tecnológicos e Teorias Econômicas da Firma
Authors: Tigre Paulo Bastos 
Published: May 2017

Este artigo analisa a evolução das teorias da firma à luz das mudanças tecnológicas ocorridas em três paradigmas: (i) a Revolução Industrial britânica, que dominou a economia mundial durante todo o século XIX e foi a base de observação para a elaboração da teoria neoclássica; (ii) o paradigma Fordista, que efetivamente deu origem à economia industrial; e (iii) o paradigma das Tecnologias da Informação, cuja construção teórica está baseada, principalmente nas correntes evolucionistas e neo-institucionalistas. A análise da evolução das teorias da firma e sua relação com paradigmas organizacionais distintos mostra que não existe um corpo teórico único e coerente, pois as teorias estão condicionadas por diferentes filiações metodológico-teóricas, enfocam aspectos distintos (produção ou transação) e baseiam-se em contextos institucionais, históricos e setoriais diversos. Conclui que o processo de mudanças tecnológicas e institucionais exige que a teoria evolua continuamente, adotando aportes interdisciplinares e recorrendo mais sistematicamente a pesquisa empírica.
Kit de combate a homofobia do MEC: a polemização em torno dos recursos audiovisuais
Authors: Oliveira Júnior Isaias Batista de 
Published: May 2017

O discurso heterossexista inserido em nossa sociedade por meio de leis, religiões, políticas públicas curriculares, se tornou ainda mais evidente, em meados de 2011,diante da tentativa de lançamento do Kit de Combate a Homofobia,do Ministério da Educação e Cultura. A possibilidade de veiculação deste material nas escolas foi massificado na mídia, em redes sociais, entre legisladores/as, religiosos/as, sociedade civil, e Movimento LGBT propulsionando o nosso interesse pela temática. A partir daí assumimos o objetivo de analisar os recursos audiovisuais que integrariam o Kit de Combate a Homofobia do MEC delineado a partir do Projeto Escola Sem Homofobia. Diante do recuo do Estado na divulgação do material concluímos que, se o Governo Federal, devido às pressões, suspendeu à distribuição do Kit Anti-Homofobia, algumas pesquisas já realizadas sobre violência contra alunos/as Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Bigêneros, Travestis, Transexuais, Transgêneros, Queers, Questionadores/as, Intersexos, Indecisos/as, Assexuados/as e Aliados/as evidenciam que o ambiente escolar é altamente preconceituoso e excludente, o que, por si só, justificaria a produção de materiais didáticos, para além do Kit Gay, que pudessem colocar esse tema em discussão.
A educação da criança e o desenvolvimento dos conceitos científicos frente à formação (des) humana na sociedade de classes
Authors: Pertile Eliane Brunetto , Mori Nerli Nonato Ribeiro 
Published: May 2017

O texto aqui apresentado tem como objetivo analisar as contribuições de Vigotski para a compreensão do desenvolvimento dos conceitos científicos na criança em idade escolar. Assim, partimos da seguinte questão: quais as contribuições que a compreensão do desenvolvimento dos conceitos científicos pode trazer para discutirmos a formação proporcionada por meio da atual organização escolar? Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentada principalmente nas produções de Vigotski. Destacamos, dentre os vários subsídios para o campo educacional, que os conceitos científicos possibilitam a ação consciente frente à realidade e se desenvolvem por processos mediados. Entendemos que essas contribuições podem se constituir como premissas orientadoras para o ensino à medida que seja adotada uma perspectiva de formação condizente com a expectativa de humanização dos sujeitos. Constatamos também que a educação instituída na atualidade, sob a organização do trabalho na sociedade de classes, tem significativos limites para uma formação que possibilite o desenvolvimento dos conceitos científicos.
Trabalho, vida rural e educação
Authors: Alves Ana Elizabeth Santos 
Published: May 2017

O artigo discute a centralidade do trabalho e da educação na vida de moradores de comunidades rurais, especialmente de mulheres, em narrativas acerca de ações e relações no grupo familiar apreendidas nas contradições históricas da realidade brasileira. Foram realizadas observações exploratórias e entrevistas com 23 grupos familiares, em 2012 - 2013, no município de Planalto, na Bahia. Utilizou-se, como fonte de dados empíricos, para a análise apresentada neste texto, a história de vida de uma das mulheres entrevistadas, representativa do conjunto do universo investigado. O enfoque teórico orientou-se pela compreensão do trabalho, da divisão sexual do trabalho e da educação como fenômenos sociais e históricos, articulados com o processo de acumulação capitalista. Observou-se o ciclo de vida familiar na sua inter-relação com as categorias de análise, mediadas pela narrativa de uma história de vida.

Aquí se describen los conflictos que surgieron entre pescadores cucapás y autoridades al aplicar el tope de captura para la curvina golfina, en 2012. Ésta es la medida legal más reciente que limita el volumen de pesca permitido por temporada en el Alto Golfo de California. Con registros etnográficos pensamos las relaciones entre leyes, manejo sustentable de los recursos pesqueros y el derecho al uso preferencial de recursos naturales que tienen los pueblos indígenas en México. De fondo, se reflexiona sobre los usos que se están haciendo de los marcos legales, y sobre los modelos democráticos y de relaciones sociales que se están construyendo en este contexto de disputa. palabras-clave: Cucapá, pesca, los derechos indígenas.---Leis de pesca e e os obstáculos ao reconhecimento de direitos para uso preferencial dos recursos naturais do povo CucapáEste artigo fornece uma exposição detalhada dos conflitos entre os pescadores Cucapá e as autoridades governamentais em 2012, quando este último determinou a permissão irrestrita de pesca da golfina curvina e de quotas atribuídas. Este acontecimento é o mais recente de uma série de políticas que inibem o Cucapá da exploração de recursos naturais no seu território histórico: a região do delta do rio Colorado. Nosso trabalho etnográfico nos permite refletir sobre as relações entre a feitura da lei, a gestão da pesca e a observância dos direitos indígenas de utilizar os recursos em seus territórios. Além disso, este caso permite-nos refletir sobre o uso da lei e o tipo de democracia e relações sociais que estão sendo moldadas neste contexto de conflito contínuo.palavras-chave: cucapá, pesca, direitos indígenas.---Fishing laws and the obstacles to the recognition of the rights of Cucapá people to preferential use of natural resourcesThis article provides a detailed account of the conflicts that emerged between Cocopah fishermen and Government authorities in 2012, when the latter determined the total allowable catch for the corvina golfina and allocated quotas. This is the most recent of a series of policies that inhibit the Cocopah from exploiting natural resources within their historic territory: the Delta Region of the Colorado River.
