A sub-representatividade de mulheres negras e orientais em capas de revistas brasileiras voltadas ao público feminino

O texto traz reflexões sobre alguns motivos culturais e mercadológicos para a quase nula presença de negras e orientais nas capas de revistas brasileiras voltadas para o público feminino. O artigo parte de um “mito” vigente na Publicidade segundo o qual “negro não vende” e, buscando desconstruir essa crença, apresenta uma enquete para averiguar se realmente o público feminino rechaça personalidades negras e orientais nas capas de revistas. Foram entrevistadas 100 universitárias da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e o resultado aponta que não há rejeição de personalidades orientais e negras nesta amostra em particular. Por fim, o texto cogita se não seriam as redações das grandes publicações que impõem modelos caucasianas atendendo a solicitações de mercado.

Origens históricas da Organização Odebrecht: retrato da apropriação privada da natureza no Baixo Sul da Bahia-Brasil

The historical geography of the Odebrecht Group demonstrates the passage of a brazilian family-owned company that has became a holding company that has been territorialized by more than three dozen countries, thanks to the operation of the businessman-entrepreneur Norberto Odebrecht. What has not been disseminated, whether in the media or in publications by the Organization, is the process of private appropriation of nature that has been conducted by Odebrecht in Bahia during the 20th century. The purpose of this paper is to present the temporal spatialization of the Odebrecht family in the Bahia Southern Lowlands, which reflects the way that Brazilian field (land and water) has been appropriated by transnational companies, mainly with strong State support. Therefore, has been proceeded data collection in researches and publications that demonstrate a series of onslaughts on Bahian rural space in the trajectory of Odebrecht family that has been investigated in light of the theoretical discussion about private appropriation of nature with use of violence in its various dimensions.

Efficient Selection of Reservoir Model Outputs within an Emulation-Based Bayesian History-Matching Uncertainty Analysis

Summary When performing classic uncertainty reduction according to dynamic data, a large number of reservoir simulations need to be evaluated at high computational cost. As an alternative, we construct Bayesian emulators that mimic the dominant behavior of the reservoir simulator, and which are several orders of magnitude faster to evaluate. We combine these emulators within an iterative procedure that involves substantial but appropriate dimensional reduction of the output space (which represents the reservoir physical behavior, such as production data), enabling a more effective and efficient uncertainty reduction on the input space (representing uncertain reservoir parameters) than traditional methods, and with a more comprehensive understanding of the associated uncertainties. This study uses the emulation-based Bayesian history-matching (BHM) uncertainty analysis for the uncertainty reduction of complex models, which is designed to address problems with a high number of both input and output parameters. We detail how to efficiently choose sets of outputs that are suitable for emulation and that are highly informative to reduce the input-parameter space and investigate different classes of outputs and objective functions. We use output emulators and implausibility analysis iteratively to perform uncertainty reduction in the input-parameter space, and we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of certain popular classes of objective functions in this context. We demonstrate our approach through an application to a benchmark synthetic model (built using public data from a Brazilian offshore field) in an early stage of development using 4 years of historical data and four producers. This study investigates traditional simulation outputs (e.g., production data) and also novel classes of outputs, such as misfit indices and summaries of outputs. We show that despite there being a large number (2,136) of possible outputs, only very few (16) were sufficient to represent the available information; these informative outputs were used using fast and efficient emulators at each iteration (or wave) of the history match to perform the uncertainty-reduction procedure successfully. Using this small set of outputs, we were able to substantially reduce the input space by removing 99.8% of the original volume. We found that a small set of physically meaningful individual production outputs were the most informative at early waves, which once emulated, resulted in the highest uncertainty reduction in the input-parameter space, while more complex but popular objective functions that combine several outputs were only modestly useful at later waves. The latter point is because objective functions such as misfit indices have complex surfaces that can lead to low-quality emulators and hence result in noninformative outputs. We present an iterative emulator-based Bayesian uncertainty-reduction process in which all possible input-parameter configurations that lead to statistically acceptable matches between the simulated and observed data are identified. This methodology presents four central characteristics: incorporation of a powerful dimension reduction on the output space, resulting in significantly increased efficiency; effective reduction of the input space; computational efficiency, and provision of a better understanding of the complex geometry of the input and output spaces.

Exogenous silicon and salicylic acid applications improve tolerance to boron toxicity in field pea cultivars by intensifying antioxidant defence systems.

Field peas (Pisum sativum L.) are widely cultivated throughout the world as a cool season grain and forage crop. Boron (B) toxicity is caused by high B concentration in the soil or irrigation water, and is particularly problematic in medium or heavier textured soil types with moderate alkalinity and low annual rainfall. Previous studies have indicated that B-toxicity increases oxidative stress in plants, and B-tolerance has been considered an important target in field pea plant breeding programmes. Inducers of tolerance may be a promising alternative for plant breeding. Little research has been conducted on the combined use of silicon (Si) and salicylic acid (SA) to remediate B-toxicity in field peas. The present study revealed the physiological and biochemical plant responses of applying Si+SA under B-toxicity (15mgB L-1) on two Brazilian field pea cultivars (Iapar 83 and BRS Forrageira). A semi-hydroponic experiment was conducted using a completely randomized factorial design (2×5): with two field pea cultivars and five treatments which were formed by individual and combined applications of Si and SA under B-toxicity plus a control (control, B, B+Si, B+SA, and B+Si+SA). Si (2mmolL-1) was applied to plants in two forms (root and leaf), while for SA (36 μmol L-1) only foliar applications were applied. Our results demonstrated that the combined use of exogenous Si+SA in field peas increased tolerance to B-toxicity through an intensified antioxidant plant defence system, resulting in a better regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and degradation. It significantly increased total chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, the activities of major antioxidant enzymes, and reduced MDA and H2O2 contents, resulting in increased fresh shoot and total plant dry biomass. The application of Si+SA alleviated the inhibitory effects of boron toxicity in field peas, resulting in greater plant growth by preventing oxidative membrane damage through an increased tolerance to B-excess within the plant tissue. Therefore, the use of Si+SA is an important and sustainable strategy to alleviate B-toxicity in field pea cultivation.

Do empowerment and materialism influence slow fashion consumption? Evidence from Brazil

PurposeGiven that slow fashion is a movement that develops a comprehensive understanding of sustainable fashion and it is little explored in the Brazilian academic field, this study aims to analyze the influence of empowerment and materialism on slow fashion consumption.Design/methodology/approachData were collected via an online survey, and quantitative methods were applied to analyze the sample of 306 clothing consumers from Fortaleza, the 5th largest Brazilian city and capital of the State of Ceará, which ranks fifth in the Brazilian Textile and Apparel Chain Billing Ranking.FindingsIn general, empowerment had a positive influence on slow fashion consumption. On the other hand, materialism positively influenced only one orientation toward slow fashion (exclusivity).Research limitations/implicationsAs a limitation of the study, the lack of a specific scale to measure consumer empowerment stands out. In addition, the sample was restricted to consumers from Fortaleza, thus results might differ for different locations.Practical implicationsThe study provides managerial implications related to how strategies of empowerment can be incorporated by slow fashion companies into their marketing programs, such as more active consumer involvement in product co-creation processes.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the construction of theoretical and empirical knowledge on slow fashion, from its association with constructs such as empowerment and materialism. Furthermore, a conceptual model involving all relations found between the factors of the three constructs has been proposed.

Reflections and proposals for the establishment of Family and Community Medicine Master's Programs in Brazil.

While Primary Health Care (PHC) and Family and Community Medicine (FCM) have expanded their space and relevance in health care and undergraduate medical courses, Brazil has no stricto sensu FCM postgraduate programs. In this paper, we analyze some aspects of the Brazilian public health field and the national stricto sensu postgraduate system that can help to explain this scenario. As a contribution to the debate on this topic, we also gathered information from international postgraduate and research experiences in FCM and devised a curriculum proposal for future national FCM master's courses. In the end, we discussed some key strategies for the emergence of stricto sensu postgraduate courses in this discipline in Brazil, highlighting the potential of these programs for evaluation and qualification of primary care services, especially the Family Health Strategy, and the training of PHC specialists required for the consolidation of the Unified Health System (SUS) as an accessible, comprehensive and equitable health system for the Brazilian population.

Inovação curricular no ensino médio: das experiências exitosas às duvidosas propostas de mudança

It is consensus that high school, in Brazil, is the level of education whose debates are most controversial, being considered as a large knot of our educational system. This historical problem (ZOTTI, 2009) faces challenges in relation to the access and permanence of young people in high school – problems that go beyond the issue of learning. Issues such as the mismatch with the reality of the students, the need to enter the labor market, various social issues related to those who attend this stage of education, as well as the teacher devaluation, are issues that reinforce the discourse of crisis in High perpetuated in the Brazilian educational field almost over a century. In that way, it is understood that the reflection on the quality of the current High School requires the consistent analysis of issues of access and permanence, and also of reaching the demands and needs of the young people who attend to it. It is estimated that the current policies of High School, in particular the Law N° 13.415/2017, which instituted the makeover of the High School, does not directly respond to the historical demands of this stage of teaching, or shed light on the successful teaching experiences that have already been carried out in the country, such as the Experimental Secondary Classes and Gymnasiums/Vocational Schools, which sought to answer the same questions – however, with other aspects and in a time lapse of more than fifty years. These experiences, closed by the dictatorial regime in the 1960s, carried out the proposal to promote an integral education, contributing to the formation of students in various dimensions, in a significant way and promoting the effective integration of content. It is understood that tests of renewal of the High School should be formulated from the reading and evaluation of the experiences and policies already developed, and these initiatives should, rather than wear the clothing of the new without offering real solutions to the existing demands, present effective advances – not appearing as counter-reforms, in which there are setbacks through the already achieved, as was the Law of Reform of the High School. Lastly, we emphasize, the need for studies and debate of experiences referred to as an example of quality, because the continuity of policies depends on the systematic study, evaluation and reformulation of initiatives that have achieved successful results.

Thus, it’s necessary to analyze internet’s historical development in the country andthe main laws designed to specifically address the digital sphere, among them are the Internet Civil Landmark Law and the General Law of Personal Data Protection (GLDP), going through their main provisions, purpose and efficiency. In order to appreciate the above, the present work uses hypothetical-deductive method and bibliographical and legislative research.

Genetic Diversity and Azole Fungicide Sensitivity in Pseudocercospora musae Field Populations in Brazil.

Pseudocercospora musae, causal agent of Sigatoka leaf spot, or yellow Sigatoka disease, is considered a major pathogen of banana (Musa spp.). Widely disseminated in Brazil, this study explored the genetic diversity in field populations of the pathogen from production areas in the Distrito Federal and the States of Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Rio Grande do Norte. Resistance to demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides was also examined. For 162 isolates from 10 banana growing regions, analysis of mating type idiomorph frequency was conducted, together with estimation of genetic diversity at 15 microsatellite loci. A total of 149 haplotypes were identified across the examined populations, with an average genetic diversity of 4.06. In general, populations displayed 1:1 proportions of idiomorphs MAT1-1 and MAT1-2, providing evidence for sexual recombination. Multilocus linkage disequilibrium also indicated asexual reproduction contributing to the genetic structure of certain populations. AMOVA revealed that 86.3% of the genetic differentiation of the pathogen occurred among isolates within populations. Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) identified six most probable genetic groups, with no population structure associated with geographic origin or collection site. Although genetic similarity was observed among certain populations from different states, data revealed increasing genetic differentiation with increasing geographic distance, as validated by Mantel’s test (r = 0.19, P < 0.001). On the basis of DMI fungicide sensitivity testing and CYP51 gene sequence polymorphism, isolates from the Distrito Federal separated into two main groups, one with generally higher EC50 values against eight DMI fungicides. A clear phenotype-to-genotype relationship was observed for isolates carrying the CYP51 alteration Y461N. Conventionally adopted fungicides for control of Sigatoka leaf spot are likely to be overcome by combined sexual and asexual reproduction mechanisms in P. musae driving genetic variability. Continued analysis of pathogen genetic diversity and monitoring of DMI sensitivity profiles of Brazilian field populations is essential for the development of integrated control strategies based on host resistance breeding and rational design of fungicide regimes.

Do cânone modernista à noção antropológica de cultura: O conceito de cultura nas políticas culturais do governo Lula (2003-2011)

Este artigo analisa a concepção de cultura predominante nas políticas culturais do Governo Lula, à luz de transformações mais gerais do campo cultural brasileiro, notadamente aquelas trazidas pela consolidação de uma indústria cultural nas décadas de 1960-70 e pelo enfraquecimento do cânone modernista como critério exclusivo de avaliação das obras e manifestações culturais. Assim, apresentaremos as linhas gerais das políticas culturais do governo Lula, apontaremos os momentos principais da institucionalização e consagração do cânone modernista no Brasil e refletiremos sobre o significado e os impasses da adoção de um conceito antropológico de cultura no período lulista. O artigo debateu como as mudanças nas políticas culturais apareceram relacionadas ao enfraquecimento de uma visão mais especializada da cultura como produção artística e intelectual de vanguarda, em direção ao fortalecimento de uma noção de cultura como modo de vida, expandindo a gama de atividades legitimadas pelo Estado em políticas cultuais mais diversas e inclusivas.

Using data analytics to quantify the impact of production test uncertainty on oil flow rate forecast

In general, flow measurement systems in production units only report the daily total production rates. As there is no precise control of individual production of each well, the current well flow rates and their parameters are determined when production tests are conducted. Because production tests are performed periodically (e.g., once a month), information about the wells is limited and operational decisions are made using data that are not updated. Meanwhile, well properties and parameters from the production test are typically used in multiphase flow models to forecast the expected production. However, this is done deterministically without considering the different sources of uncertainties in the production tests. This study aims to introduce uncertainties in oil flow rate forecast. To do this, it is necessary to identify and quantify uncertainties from the data obtained in the production tests, consider them in production modeling, and propagate them by using multiphase flow simulation. This study comprises two main areas: data analytics and multiphase flow simulation. In data analytics, an algorithm is developed using R to analyze and treat the data from production tests. The most significant stochastic variables are identified and data deviation is adjusted to probability distributions with their respective parameters. Random values of the selected variables are then generated using Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) methods. In multiphase flow simulation, these possible values are used as input. By nodal analysis, the simulator output is a set of oil flow rate values, with their interval of occurrence probabilities. The methodology is applied, using a representative Brazilian offshore field as a case study. The results show the significance of the inclusion of uncertainties to achieve greater accuracy in the multiphase flow analysis of oil production.

Still Controversial: Early Detection and Screening for Breast Cancer in Brazil, 1950-2010s.

Mammographic screening for breast cancer is a widely used public health approach, but is constantly a subject of controversy. Medical and historical research on this topic has been mainly conducted in Western Europe and North America. In Brazil, screening mammography has been an open topic of discussion and a challenge for health care and public health since the 1970s. Effectively, Brazilian public health agencies never implemented a nationwide population-based screening programme for breast cancer, despite the pressures of many specific groups such as advocacy associations and the implementation of local programmes. This article examines the complex process of incorporating mammography as a diagnostic tool and the debates towards implementing screening programmes in Brazil. We argue that debates about screening for breast malignancies, especially those conducted in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, took place in a context of change and uncertainty in the Brazilian health field. These discussions were strongly affected both by tensions between the public and the private health care sectors during the formative period of a new Brazilian health system, and by the growing role of civil society actors. Our study investigates these tensions and their consequences. We use several medical sources that discussed the topic in Brazil, mainly specialised leading oncology journals published between 1950 and 2017, medical congress reports for the same period, books and theses, institutional documents and oral testimonies of health professionals, patients and associations collected in the framework of the 'The History of Cancer' project from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and Brazilian National Cancer Institute.

Multiscale Integration for Karst-Reservoir Flow-Simulation Models

Summary The significant oil reserves related to karst reservoirs in a Brazilian presalt field add new frontiers to the development of upscaling procedures to reduce time for numerical simulations. This work aims to represent karst reservoirs in reservoir simulators using special connections between matrix medium and karst medium, each modeled in different grid domains of a single-porosity flow model. This representation intends to provide a good relationship between accuracy and simulation time. The concept follows the embedded discrete-fracture model (EDFM) developed by Li and Lee (2008) and later extended by Moinfar et al. (2014); however, this work extends the approach for karst reservoirs [embedded discrete-karst model (EDKM)] by adding a representative volume through gridblocks to represent karst geometries and porosity. For the extension of the EDFM approach in a karst reservoir, we adapt the methodology to four stages: construction of a single-porosity model with two grid domains; geomodeling of karst and matrix properties, each for the corresponding grid domain; application of special connections through the conventional reservoir simulator to represent the transmissibility between the matrix and the karst medium; and calculation of transmissibility between the matrix and the karst medium. For a proper verification, we applied the EDKM methodology in a carbonate reservoir with megakarst structures, which consists of nonwell-connected enlarged conduits and greater than 300 mm of aperture. The reference model was a refined grid with karst features explicitly combined with matrix facies, including coquinas interbedded with mudstones and shales. The gridblock of the reference model measures approximately 10 × 10 × 1 m. For the simulation model, the matrix-grid domain has a gridblock size of approximately 100 × 100 × 5 m. The karst-grid domain had the same block size as the refined grid. Flow in the individual karst-grid domain or matrix-grid domain is governed by Darcy's equation, implicitly solved by a simulator. However, the transmissibility for the special connections between karst and matrix blocks is calculated as a function of open area to flow, matrix permeability, and block-center distance. The matrix properties were scaled up through conventional analytical methods. The results show that EDKM had a considerable performance regarding a dynamic matching response with the reference model, within a reduced simulation time, while maintaining a higher dynamic resolution in the karst-grid domain without using an unconstructed grid. This work aims to contribute to the extension of the EDFM approach for karst reservoirs, which can be applied to commercial finite-difference reservoir simulators. This could be a solution to reduce simulation time without disregarding the explicit representation of karst features in structured grids.

Precarity and coloniality in the Brazilian education field: an analysis of the Law no. 13,415/17 and the final years of the Primary School in the National Common Curricular Base

This article aims to analyse the current proposal for Brazilian Primary and Secondary School, particularly after the implementation of the Law no. 13,415/17, which modified Brazilian’s national education guidelines and bases, regulated by the Law no. 9,394/96. Specifically, I propose to reflect upon this new law, how it shapes a new National Education Project and its impact on ‘historically oppressed groups’, such as Afrodescendant and Indigenous populations. I will also point out how these groups are framed by the new contents (and knowledge) of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular [National Common Curricular Base] (BNCC), focusing in the final years of the Primary School (5th to 9th grade). Against this backdrop, I will explore, within the contemporary Brazilian education field, the compatibility of ‘precarity’ (Butler, 2009) and coloniality in relation to institutional racism and Eurocentric (Western) thought. Mainly based on the ‘Ecology of Knowledges’ by Santos (2007), I propose the necessity to work on both: on the recognition of the bases of these groups, that needs a critical and regulated education about their histories, contents and knowledge, which should be explicitly exposed in a transversal way in the BNCC; and the deconstruction of the vision of education focused only on the market logic, rather than an education for citizenship, equity, and diversity. Finally, my methodology has a qualitative approach, based on secondary documentation sources (bibliographic research), passing through diverse research specifications (descriptive, exploratory and explanatory analysis).

A especificidade da onda punitiva brasileira

A política integral do Estado não se esgota no exercício de sua função repressiva. Essa política não será apreendida de forma adequada se desconsiderar a interdependência que suas funções ostentam entre si. Num Estado capitalista, do tipo que cria dependência, a dificuldade de acumular capital internamente influi na estruturação e na forma de comportamento entre as classes, com reflexos nos padrões de dominação política. Um dos seus traços mais característicos assenta na produção de um enorme contingente de força de trabalho marginalizada, inconfundível com o exército industrial de reserva, e que funciona como estratégia de controle social e político. No contexto brasileiro acresce, à hierarquização que decorre da divisão em classes, a sobreposição daquela que deriva da cor da pele. A recente, parcial e já superada redenção social levada ao efeito, fundamental, por meio do incremento da capacidade de consumo – reconhecido, de modo equívoco, como período pós-neoliberal -, paradoxalmente, em vez de atuar em sentido contrário, tem remarcado um traço constitutivo do campo burocrático brasileiro, melhor compreendido como processo de longa duração: o Estado brasileiro nunca tomou seu povo com a reverência que mesmo uma ordem jurídica limitadamente liberal preconiza.

Genetic variation of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae from Brazilian field samples

BackgroundPorcine enzootic pneumonia is a worldwide problem in swine production. The infected host demonstrates a respiratory disease whose etiologic agent is Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp). A total of 266 lung samples with Mycoplasma-like lesions were collected from two slaughterhouses. We analyzed the genetic profile of Mhp field samples using 16 genes that encode proteins involved in the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis and/or the immune responses of the host. Bioinformatic analyses were performed to classify the Mhp field samples based on their similarity according to the presence of the studied genes.ResultsOur results showed variations in the frequency of the 16 studied genes among different Mhp field samples. It was also noted that samples from the same farm were genetically different from each other and samples from different regions could be genetically similar, which is evidence of the presence of different genetic profiles among the Mhp field strains that circulate in Brazilian swine herds.ConclusionThis work demonstrated the genetic diversity of several Mhp field strains based on 16 selected genes related to virulence and/or immune response in Brazil. Our findings demonstrate the difference between Mhp field strains could influence the virulence, and we hypothesize that the most frequent genes in Mhp field strains could possibly be used as vaccine candidates. Based on our results, we suspect that Mhp genetic variability may be associated with the frequency of genes among the field strains and we have demonstrated that some Mhp field samples could not have many important genes described in the literature.

QUESTÕES CONTROVERSAS ENVOLVENDO A TUTELA JURISDICIONAL PENAL E AS NOVAS TECNOLOGIAS À LUZ DA LEI GERAL DE PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS (LGPD) BRASILEIRA: DATAVEILLANCE

O exercício da tutela jurisdicional penal, em tempos de inovação tecnológica, suscita dúvidas no mundo todo, cenário do qual o Brasil não se distancia. Dentre as inovações tecnológicas destaca-se o mecanismo de vigilância chamado dataveillance. No rol de princípios penais e processuais existentes, destaca-se a vedação à produção, pelo acusado, de provas contra si mesmo (nemotenetur se detegere). No campo legislativo brasileiro, destaque para a recém-criada Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) e sua não aplicabilidade na seara penal. A análise do conjunto de instrumentos e normas existentes no Brasil, em especial aquele relativo à proteção de dados, tornou possível a conclusão de que não garante ao Estado, mais especificamente na condição de titular da Jurisdição, eficiência no combate preventivo às violações aos direitos de personalidade do acusado, com destaque para aquele relativo à vedação contida no brocardo do nemotenetur se detegere, pela utilização de dataveillance, uma vez que o sistema normativo, além de não solucionar o problema, deve ser aprimorado.

Foliar water-uptake strategies are related to leaf water status and gas exchange in plants from a ferruginous rupestrian field.

Fog is a frequent event in Brazilian rupestrian field and plays an important role in the physiology of several plant species. Foliar water uptake (FWU) of fog may be fast or slow depending on the species. However, fog water may negatively affect CO2 assimilation. Thus, the interference in the water and carbon balance as a result of different strategies of FWU was evaluated to verify whether fog may mitigate possible water deficit in leaves. Four plant species with different FWU strategies were studied in a ferruginous rupestrian field with frequent fog. Gas exchange and water potential were measured before dawn and at midday during the dry and rainy seasons, separating foggy from non-foggy days during the dry season. The FWU speed negatively influences CO2 assimilation in the dry season, possibly because of its negative relationship with stomatal conductance, since reduced stomatal aperture impairs carbon entrance. Fog presence increased leaf water potential both in early morning and midday during the dry season. However, during the rainy season, the values of leaf water potential were lower at midday, than during the dry season with fog at midday, which favors leaf gas exchanges. FWU interferes negatively, but briefly with CO2 assimilation. Nevertheless, FWU prevents water loss through transpiration and increases the water status of plants in the dry season. That is, FWU results in a compensation between CO2 assimilation and foliar hydration, which, in fact, is beneficial to the plants of this ecosystem.
