Macrodynamics of economics: a bibliometric history

A history of specialties in economics since the late 1950s is constructed on the basis of a large corpus of documents from economics journals. The production of this history relies on a combination of algorithmic methods that avoid subjective assessments of the boundaries of specialties: bibliographic coupling, automated community detection in dynamic networks and text mining. these methods uncover a structuring of economics around recognizable specialties with some significant changes over the time-period covered (1956-2014). Among our results, especially noteworthy are (a) the clearcut existence of 10 families of specialties, (b) the disappearance in the late 1970s of a specialty focused on general economic theory, (c) the dispersal of the econometrics-centered specialty in the early 1990s and the ensuing importance of specific econometric methods for the identity of many specialties since the 1990s, (d) the low level of specialization of individual economists throughout the period in contrast to physicists as early as the late 1960s.

Clínica e cirurgia de pequenos animais

Este relatório foi elaborado na sequencia do estágio curricular realizado pelo autor, ente 28 de setembro de 2015 e 28 de março de 2016, no Hospital Clínico Veterinario de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera (HCV CEU-UCH), em Alfara del Patriarca, Valência, Espanha. A infeciologia foi a área da clínica médica mais representativa (28%), sendo o vírus da imunodeficiência felina (FIV) o agente infecioso registado mais frequentemente (19%). É importante reconhecer e diagnosticar esta infeção de forma a aplicar um maneio adequado aos pacientes infetados, melhorando a sua qualidade de vida e prevenindo a propagação do vírus. A infeção provocada pelo FIV raramente provoca uma síndrome severa, porém, várias alterações podem decorrer. Apesar do FIV provocar uma infeção crónica, com os cuidados adequados, os pacientes infetados poderão viver vidas longas, com uma boa qualidade de vida, e eventualmente acabar por morrer de causas não relacionadas com o FIV; Abstract: Small Animal Medicine and Surgery This report was elaborated following the externship performed by the author, between September 28th 2015 and March 28th 2016, at the Hospital Clínico Veterinario de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera (HCV CEU-UCH), in Alfara del Patriarca, Valencia, Spain. The most frequent specialty field within the area of internal medicine was infectiology (28%), with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) being the infectious agent most frequently registered (19%). It is important to recognize and diagnose the infection caused by this agent accurately, so that the right measures of management can be applied, improving the life’s quality of the patient and reducing the risk of viral spreading. The infection by FIV rarely produces a severe syndrome, however many clinicopathologic disorders may occur. FIV causes a chronic infection, however, with the proper care, the infected cats may live long lives, with a fair quality, eventually ending up dying from causes unrelated to FIV.

Relatório da prática de ensino supervisionada realizado no agrupamento nº 2 de Évora, Escola Básica Integrada André de Resende e Escola

Este Relatório corresponde à Unidade Curricular da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES), do Curso de Mestrado em Ensino de Artes Visuais no 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e Secundário, desenvolvida no ano lectivo 2009/2010, e tem como objectivo principal a auto-reflexão sobre a prática de ensino efectivada, pois a dimensão reflexiva é um factor fundamental na formação de professores. É importante estar-se actualizado na reunião de um conjunto de conhecimentos e competências que permitam exercer correctamente a actividade profissional docente, mas não menos relevante é a capacidade de se saber reflectir e auto-avaliar, enquanto professor, transmissor de saberes para uma melhoraria do ensino dos jovens e também das metodologias e estratégias educativas requeridas. ABSTRACT: Report of Supervised Teaching Practice conducted by Cátia Marisa Barrenho Casquinha, No.2 in the Group of Évora, André de Resende Integrated Primary School and Gabriel Pereira High School, for the specialty master’s degree in Visual Arts Education in the 3rd Cycle Elementary and Secondary Education. This report corresponds to Supervised Teaching Practice (PES) curricular unit of the Master Course in Teaching Visual Arts at the 3 rd Cycle of Basic and Secondary Education, developed in 2009/2010, and has as main objective self-reflection on teaching practice considering the reflective dimension as a key factor in teacher education. It is important to be updated on a set of knowledge and competences to properly exercise teaching professional activity, but not least is the ability to reflect and learn self-assessment practices as a teacher, transmitter of knowledge, in order to improve youngster education and also the required methodologies and educational strategies.

Identification of endophytic bactéria from micropropagated yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) crowing under autotrophic and Heterotrophic systems.

Yacon, Smallanthus sonchifolius, an Andean species. is a rich source of dictetíc oligofructans with low glucose content. proteins and phenolic compounds. These constituents have shown efficacy in the prevention of diet-related ehronic diseases, including gastroin-testinal disorders and diabetes |1,2|. Yacon is part of a research program at the National Center for Natural Products Research (NCNPR) and University of Mississippi Field Station to develop new alternative root crops for Mississippi while attempting to im-prove the diet of low incorne families. Yacon can be easily propa-gated by cultings. Virus and nematode infections have been re-ported on plants propagated by cuttings in Brazil. a country that hás adopted Yacon as specialty crop [3|. We have developed two culture systems. autotrophic and heterotrophic, to produce healthy plants. Herem we describe the presence of endophytic bactéria m micropropagated Yacon. In auxin free media, new roots were induced. Overa 15day period. the average root mduction per expiam was 5.45 to 8.75 under autotrophic and heterotrophic cul-tures, respectively. Root lenglh vaned between 3 and 60mrn. The presence of root hairs and lateral roots was noticed only in auto-trophic condilions. These beneficiai bactéria were identified and chemically ctiaracterized. Acknowledgement: This research work was partially supported by the USDA/ARS Cooperative Research Agreement No. 58-6408-2-009.

Effects of the orientation of the mountainside, altitude and varieties on the quality of the coffee beverage from the "Matas de Minas" region, brazilian Southeast.

Based upon qualitative parameters experiments, this study aims to investigate how the elements of the environment, where the coffee is produced, contribute to the final quality of the product. For the analyses, it was used approximately one kilogram of coffee cherry samples collected in 14municipalities previously chosen on the East side of the Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The coffee cherry samples were collected and analyzed for each of the two varieties in four levels of altitude for each exposure side of the mountain in relation to the Sun. The quality of the coffee was evaluated through the analysis of its physical characteristics and sensory analysis, popularly known as "Test of drink or Cupping" carried out by three tasters that belonging to the group of Q -Graders, according to the rules of national and international competitions of the Brazilian Association of Special Coffees (BSCA). Were performed analysis by means descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and multivariate analysis, all of them aiming to study the individual sensor y characteristics of quality of the coffee beverage from the ?Matas de Minas? region. Path coefficient analysis also was carried out for the partition of the phenotypic correlation coefficients into measures of direct and indirect effects, in order to determine the individual sensory characteristics that playeda major role in the beverage final score. The results demonstrat e that it is not possible to concl usively establish the differences among coffees evaluated with basis on varieties and environmental factors previously cited. It can be concluded that it is not recommended to associate the quality of coffee only to a specific factor whether from the environment or being it a specific of the culture of coffee. However, the cafes that were evaluated had intrinsic quality, which were derived from the specific characteristics of the ?Matas de Minas? region where they were grown.
