Ammatillinen kehittyminen merikadettikursseilla 68, 69, 70, sekä 71

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää upseerien ammatillista kasvun ja oppimisen välistä yhteyttä sekä sitä kuinka hyvin opetustavoitteet olivat täyttyneet upseerin tutkinnon sekä sotatieteiden maisterin tutkinnon suorittaneiden kohdalla. Tavoitteena oli myös selvittää upseerien omia käsityksiä ja kokemuksia siitä, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat ammatilliseen kehittymiseen ja kuinka hyvin Merisotakoulu on pystynyt vastaamaan koulutuksen haasteisiin. Tutkimusongelma on: Mitkä upseerien ammatillisen kehityksen osa-alueet korostuvat eniten, mitkä vähiten, sekä miten opetustavoitteet ollaan saavutettu 68., 69., 70., ja 71. Merikadettikursseilla? Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitetään onko upseerin tutkinnon ja sotatieteiden maisterin tutkinnon suorittaneiden välillä eroa, onko joitain ainekokonaisuuksia painotettu liikaa tai liian vähän ammatillisen kasvun kannalta, millaisia käsityksiä ja kokemuksia upseereilla on ammatillisesta kasvusta ja oppimisesta sekä opiskelusta Merisotakoulussa, millaisia käsityksiä opettajilla on siitä, voidaanko täydennyskoulutuksella edistää työssä jaksamista sekä millaista ammatillista kasvua edistävän koulutuksen tulisi upseerien mielestä olla? Tutkimukseen osallistui 28 upseeria, jotka olivat valmistuneet laivastolinjalta Merikadettikursseilta 68., 69., 70., sekä 71. Tutkimus on kyselytutkimus, ja tieteellisenä menetelmänä on käytetty χ2-testiä. Tässä tutkimuksessa ei luotu mitään keinoa paremman koulutusjärjestelmän luomiseksi, vaan tutkimuksessa toin esille upseerien omat näkemykset omasta ammatillisesta kehittymisestä. Tutkimuksessa kuitenkin tuli ilmi asioita mitkä olisi hyvä ottaa huomioon suunniteltaessa opetustavoitteita ja kurssien läpivientejä. Opiskeluilmapiiri oli yksi huomion arvoinen asia, mikä tuli ilmi niin monivalintakysymyksissä kuin avoimissakin kysymyksissä. Opiskeluilmapiiriin oli otettu kantaa ja suurin osa upseereista oli pitänyt sitä kehittämisen arvoisena asiana. Opiskeluilmapiiri ei varsinaisesti liity opetustavoitteisiin, mutta liittyy vahvasti siihen kuinka hyvin ne saavutetaan. Toinen tutkimuksessa esille tullut puute oli ensimmäiseen työtehtävään tähtäävän koulutuksen puutteellisuus.

Detecção de resistência às fluoroquinolonas em Campylobacter isolados de frangos de criação orgânica

Resumo Estudos têm revelado que a resistência às quinolonas em cepas de Campylobacter está relacionada à presença da mutação Treonina-86 para Isoleucina. Com o objetivo de investigar a presença dessa mutação em cepas de Campylobacter sensíveis e resistentes à ciprofloxacina e enrofloxacina, o conteúdo cecal de 80 frangos de corte de criação orgânica, abatidos sob Serviço de Inspeção Estadual (S.I.E.) do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, foram coletados e investigados para a presença de Campylobacter. A determinação da resistência à ciprofloxacina e enrofloxacina foi feita pela técnica de difusão em disco e de diluição em ágar para determinação da Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM). A detecção da mutação na Região Determinante de Resistencia às Quinolonas (RDRQ) no gene gyrA foi realizada através de sequenciamento. Campylobacter foi isolado a partir de 100% das amostras avaliadas, sendo 68,75% correspondente à C. jejuni e 31,25% à C. coli. No teste de difusão em disco, 100% das cepas foram resistentes à ciprofloxacina e 56,25% das cepas foram resistentes à enrofloxacina. No teste de diluição em ágar, todas as cepas foram resistentes à ciprofloxacina apresentando CIM variando de ≥ 16-64μg/mL, e resistência ou resistência intermediaria à enrofloxacina foi detectada em 42,50% (CIM ≥ 4-32μg/mL) e 38,75% (CIM = 2μg/mL) das cepas, respectivamente. A mutação Tre-86-Ile, foi observada em 100% das cepas analisadas. Além dessa mutação, foram observadas outras mutações não silenciosas (Val-73-Glu, Ser-114-Leu, Val-88-Asp, Ala-75-Asp, Ser-119-Gli, Arg-79-Lis) e mutações silenciosas (His-81-His, Ser-119-Ser, Ala-120-Ala, Fen-99-Fen, Ala-122-Ala, Gli-74-Gli, Ile-77-Ile, Ala-91-Ala, Leu-92-Leu, Val-93-Val, Ile-106-Ile, Tre-107-Tre, Gli-113-Gli, Ile-115-Ile, Gli-110-Gli). A observação de que cepas sensíveis à enrofloxacina pelos testes fenotípicos apresentavam a substituição Tre-86 para Ile sugere que outros mecanismos podem contribuir para a resistência à enrofloxacina em Campylobacter.

Five Baltic Ports Togehter: Forecasts, Trends and Recommendations

The ports of Stockholm, Tallinn, Helsinki, Naantali and Turku play key roles in making the Central Baltic region accessible. Effective, competitive, eco-friendly and safe port procedures and solutions for the transportation of goods are of major importance for trade in the Baltic Sea region. This report presents the most essential results and recommendations of the PENTA project, which focused on how ports could better comprehend and face current and future challenges facing carriage of goods by sea. Each of the four work packages (WPs) of the PENTA project analysed the changes from a different perspective. WP2 focused on traffic flows between the PENTA ports. Its main emphasis was on the ports, shipowners, and logistics companies that are the key parties in freight transport and on the changes affecting the economy of those ports. In WP3 noise as an environmental challenge for ports was investigated and the analysis also shed light on the relationship between the port and the city. In WP4 procedures related to safety, security and administrative procedures were researched. The main emphasis was on identifying the requirements for the harmonisation of those procedures. Collaboration is highlighted throughout this report. In order to prepare for the future, it was found that ports need to respond to growing competition, increasing costs and shifts in customer demand by strengthening their existing partnerships with other actors in the maritime cluster. Cargo and passenger transport are the main sources of income for most ports. Cargo traffic between the PENTA ports is expected to grow steadily in the future and the outlook for passenger traffic is positive. However, to prepare for the future, ports should not only secure the core activities which generate revenue but also seek alternative ways to make profit. In order to gain more transit traffic, it is suggested that ports conduct a more thorough study of the future requirements for doing business with Russia. The investigation of noise at ports revealed two specific dilemmas that ports cannot solve alone. Firstly, the noise made by vessels and, secondly, the relationship between the port and the surrounding city. Vessels are the most important single noise source in the PENTA ports and also one of the hardest noise sources to handle. Nevertheless, port authorities in Finland and Sweden are held responsible for all noise in the port area, including noise produced by vessels, which is noise the port authority can only influence indirectly. Building housing by waterfront areas close to ports may also initiate disagreements because inhabitants may want quiet areas, whereas port activities always produce some noise from their traffic. The qualitative aspects of the noise question, cooperating with the stakeholders and the communicating of issues related to noise are just as important. We propose that ports should follow the logic of continuous improvement in their noise management. The administrative barriers discussed in this report are mainly caused by differences in international and national legislation, variations in the customs procedures of each country, the incompatibility of the IT systems used in maritime transport, noncompliance with regulations regarding dangerous goods, and difficulties in applying Schengen regulations to vessels from non-EU countries. Improving the situation is out of the hands of the ports to do alone and requires joint action on a variety of levels, including the EU, national authorities and across administrative borders.

Onko tämä taidetta? Taidekritiikki ja Tom palaa kotiin! -näyttelyn vastaanotto mediassa

Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Tom of Finlandin alias Touko Laaksosen töitä esittelevän Tom palaa kotiin! -näyttelyn vastaanottoa mediassa. Näyttely oli osa Turun kulttuuripääkaupunkivuoden 2011 ohjelmistoa. Tom of Finlandin homoeroottisia töitä esittelevä näyttely herätti mediassa runsaasti huomiota ja näyttelyn soveltumista kulttuuripääkaupunkivuoden viralliseen ohjelmistoon arvosteltiin vilkkaasti lehdissä ja verkossa. Negatiivista kritiikkiä aiheuttivat erityisesti töiden eroottisuus sekä näyttelytilan avoimuus kulttuurikeskus Logomossa. Tutkielman teoriaosassa tarkastellaan perinteisen taidekritiikin nykytilaa sekä pohditaan sen suhdetta päivälehdissä julkaistaviin kulttuuriuutisiin. Lisäksi teoriaosassa pohditaan sosiaalisen median vaikutusta taiteesta käytävään keskusteluun sekä keskustelun diskurssikäytäntöjä. Analyysiosassa Tom of Finlandin näyttelyn saamaa julkisuutta lähestytään teoriaosassa esitettyjen huomioiden valossa. Tarkastelun kohteena on näyttelyn mediavastaanotto: tarkemmin ottaen sanoma- ja aikakausilehdissä julkaistut taidekritiikit ja -arviot sekä verkossa julkaistut mielipiteet ja uutiskommentit. Tom palaa kotiin! -näyttelyä koskevissa lehtikritiikeissä ja verkkokommenteissa painotettiin toistuvasti näyttelyn homoeroottista luonnetta. Varsinkin lehdissä julkaistuissa taidekritiikeissä keskityttiin itse taiteen analysoinnin sijaan taiteilijan biografiaan ja kulttuurihistorialliseen merkitykseen sekä tapahtuman yleiseen kuvailuun. Tutkimuksen päähypoteesi onkin, että perinteinen taidekritiikki on nykyisin varsin kritiikitöntä. Tutkimuksessa osoitetaan tapausesimerkin avulla, miten taiteesta nykyisin mediassa puhutaan.

INTERFERENCE PERIODS AMONG WEEDS AND SOYBEAN RR TM CROPS IN THE WESTERN CENTER AREA OF THE BRAZILIAN STATE OF PARANÁ

ABSTRACT One of the factors that can influence soybeans yield is the interference imposed by weeds. This research has aimed to determine the critical period of weed interference on cv. INT 6100 RRTM soybeans. The experiment was conducted under field conditions at Campo Mourão County, Parana State, in the 2013/2014 harvest, using randomized blocks, arranged in a 2 x 8 factorial, with four replications. In the first factor, the coexistence (period before weed interference) and control (total period of weed interference prevention) periods were assessed. The second factor consisted of management times of weed species (0, 7, 14, 28, 35, 49, 56 and 130 days after emergence - DAE). The evaluations performed were density and shoot dry matter of the weed community, height, number of pods, thousand grain weight and soybean yield. Among the weed species in soybean crops, there was predominance of eudicotyledonous ones (82%). The yield results allowed establishing, for cv. INT 6100 RRTM soybeans at Campo Mourão County, Parana State, a critical period for preventing interference between 24-38 DAE.

Flora fanerogâmica não-arbórea do cerrado na Estação Ecológica de Assis, Estado de São Paulo

A vegetação de cerrado no Estado de São Paulo sobrevive em poucas áreas naturais remanescentes cuja flora, exceto pelas espécies arbóreas, é pouco conhecida. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a flora fanerogâmica não-arbórea das diferentes fisionomias da vegetação (campo úmido, cerrado sensu stricto, cerradão e mata ciliar) na Estação Ecológica de Assis (22°33'65" e 22°36'68" S e 50°22'29" e 50°23'00" W), Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, e compará-la a outras áreas de cerrado no estado, para verificar possíveis endemismos ou a presença de espécies raras, que mereçam providências especiais de manejo para sua conservação. Nas diferentes fisionomias da vegetação no interior da unidade de conservação foram registradas 301 espécies fanerógamas não-arbóreas, pertencentes a 199 gêneros e 61 famílias. As famílias com os maiores números de espécies foram: Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae e Poaceae. A riqueza de espécies foi decrescente do cerrado sensu stricto (146 espécies ou 48,8%), seguido pelo cerradão (48 espécies ou 15,9%), campo úmido (47 espécies ou 15,6%) e, por último, a mata ciliar (15 espécies ou 5,0%). Comparada às outras áreas analisadas de cerrado no Estado de São Paulo, a diversidade da flora não-arbórea local é elevada. O alto nível de ocorrências únicas para as formas de vida inventariadas (102 espécies ou 34%) tem sido igualmente observado em outros estudos, indicando que ou os endemismos são mais comuns para espécies vegetais não-arbóreas do que para arbóreas ou os métodos de inventário não têm sido adequados para representar toda a riqueza dessas espécies em cada local. Estratégias de conservação e inventários botânicos devem valorizar especialmente a flora não-arbórea, uma vez que as espécies da flora arbórea apresentam-se mais amplamente distribuídas e melhor inventariadas.

Celebrando São Besso ou o que Robert Hertz e a Escola Francesa de Sociologia têm a nos dizer sobre festas, rituais e simbolismo

Este artigo apresenta reflexões sobre as possibilidades e as dificuldades do estudo de festas religiosas através da interpretação de um texto de Robert Hertz (um dos pesquisadores da Escola Francesa de Sociologia), originalmente publicado em 1913, que versa sobre a festa de São Besso, um evento religioso que ocorre nos alpes italianos. O objetivo do presente trabalho é destacar as pistas que Hertz deixou abertas em seu estudo e sugerir maneiras de nos apropriarmos de seus insights em nossas análises atuais.

Asynchronous expression of myeloid antigens in leukemic cells in a PML/RARalpha transgenic mouse model

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the expansion of blasts that resemble morphologically promyelocytes and harbor a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor a (RARa) and the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) genes on chromosomes 17 and 15, respectively. The expression of the PML/RARa fusion gene is essential for APL genesis. In fact, transgenic mice (TM) expressing PML/RARa develop a form of leukemia that mimics the hematological findings of human APL. Leukemia is diagnosed after a long latency (approximately 12 months) during which no hematological abnormality is detected in peripheral blood (pre-leukemic phase). In humans, immunophenotypic analysis of APL blasts revealed distinct features; however, the precise immunophenotype of leukemic cells in the TM model has not been established. Our aim was to characterize the expression of myeloid antigens by leukemic cells from hCG-PML/RARa TM. In this study, TM (N = 12) developed leukemia at the mean age of 13.1 months. Morphological analysis of bone marrow revealed an increase of the percentage of immature myeloid cells in leukemic TM compared to pre-leukemic TM and wild-type controls (48.63 ± 16.68, 10.83 ± 8.11, 7.4 ± 5.46%, respectively; P < 0.05). Flow cytometry analysis of bone marrow and spleen from leukemic TM identified the asynchronous co-expression of CD34, CD117, and CD11b. This abnormal phenotype was rarely detected prior to the diagnosis of leukemia and was present at similar frequencies in hematologically normal TM and wild-type controls of different ages. The present results demonstrate that, similarly to human APL, leukemic cells from hCG-PML/RARa TM present a specific immunophenotype.
