Sobre la serie de "voces animantium" incluida en las «Diferencias» de Isidoro de Sevilla

[ES] Este artículo intenta explicar la relación existente entre la serie de "voces animantium" incluida en las «Diferencias» de Isidoro de Sevilla («Diff.I», 607 = 225) y en los mss. P y M, como adición a ella, y la lista de voces de esta naturaleza contenida en el «Laterculus» de Polemio Silvio y las copias posteriores. Al final el autor incluye en apéndice la edición de algunas de estas listas, todavía inéditas.

Variability in supply and cross-shelf transport of pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) postlarvae into western Florida Bay

The variability in the supply of pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) postlarvae and the transport mechanisms of planktonic stages were investigated with field data and simulations of transport. Postlarvae entering the nursery grounds of Florida Bay were collected for three consecutive years at channels that connect the Bay with the Gulf of Mexico, and in channels of the Middle Florida Keys that connect the southeastern margin of the Bay with the Atlantic Ocean. The influx of postlarvae in the Middle Florida Keys was low in magnitude and varied seasonally and among years. In contrast, the greater postlarval influx occurred at the northwestern border of the Bay, where there was a strong seasonal pattern with peaks in influx from July through September each year. Planktonic stages need to travel up to 150 km eastward between spawning grounds (northeast of Dry Tortugas) and nursery grounds (western Florida Bay) in about 30 days, the estimated time of planktonic development for this species. A Lagrangian trajectory model was developed to estimate the drift of planktonic stages across the SW Florida shelf. The model simulated the maximal distance traveled by planktonic stages under various assumptions of behavior. Simulation results indicated that larvae traveling with the instantaneous current and exhibiting a diel behavior travel up to 65 km and 75% of the larvae travel only 30 km. However, the eastward distance traveled increased substantially when a larval response to tides was added to the behavioral variable (distance increased to 200 km and 85% of larvae traveled 150 km). The question is, when during larval development, and where on the shallow SW Florida shelf, does the tidal response become incorporated into the behavior of pink shrimp.

Patterns of Impact Resulting from a 'Sit Less, Move More' Web-Based Program in Sedentary Office Employees

Purpose Encouraging office workers to 'sit less and move more' encompasses two public health priorities. However, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of workplace interventions for reducing sitting, even less about the longer term effects of such interventions and still less on dual-focused interventions. This study assessed the short and mid-term impacts of a workplace web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain, W@WS; 2010-11) on self-reported sitting time, step counts and physical risk factors (waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure) for chronic disease. Methods Employees at six Spanish university campuses (n=264; 42 +/- 10 years; 171 female) were randomly assigned by worksite and campus to an Intervention (used W@WS; n=129; 87 female) or a Comparison group (maintained normal behavior; n=135; 84 female). This phased, 19-week program aimed to decrease occupational sitting time through increased incidental movement and short walks. A linear mixed model assessed changes in outcome measures between the baseline, ramping (8 weeks), maintenance (11 weeks) and follow-up (two months) phases for Intervention versus Comparison groups. Results A significant 2 (group) x 2 (program phases) interaction was found for self-reported occupational sitting (F[3]=7.97, p=0.046), daily step counts (F[3]=15.68, p=0.0013) and waist circumference (F[3]=11.67, p=0.0086). The Intervention group decreased minutes of daily occupational sitting while also increasing step counts from baseline (446 +/- 126; 8,862 +/- 2,475) through ramping (+425 +/- 120; 9,345 +/- 2,435), maintenance (+422 +/- 123; 9,638 +/- 3,131) and follow-up (+414 +/- 129; 9,786 +/- 3,205). In the Comparison group, compared to baseline (404 +/- 106), sitting time remained unchanged through ramping and maintenance, but decreased at follow-up (-388 +/- 120), while step counts diminished across all phases. The Intervention group significantly reduced waist circumference by 2.1cms from baseline to follow-up while the Comparison group reduced waist circumference by 1.3cms over the same period. Conclusions W@WSis a feasible and effective evidence-based intervention that can be successfully deployed with sedentary employees to elicit sustained changes on "sitting less and moving more".

Identificações do feminino em materiais didáticos contemporâneos

Dada a persistente restrição da presença feminina em diferentes espaços-tempos das sociedades contemporâneas, desenvolvemos esta pesquisa com o objetivo de discutir os significados atribuídos ao feminino em materiais didáticos da atualidade. Partindo da hipótese de que a educação escolar, embora não determine, participa dos processos sociais que resultam em tal quadro de subalternização da mulher, focalizamos as apostilas utilizadas pelos anos finais do ensino fundamental das escolas públicas da rede da Secretaria Municipal de Educação da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, durante o ano de 2013. Foram selecionadas as apostilas das disciplinas Ciência, História e Matemática. Desenvolvemos também estudo sobre a apropriação da noção de gênero na produção acadêmica recente da pesquisa em Educação, de modo a mapear e discutir sobre esta outra importante instância de atribuição de sentido ao ser mulher. Em diálogo com o filósofo Jacques Derrida e suas teorizações sobre os processos sociais de construção de sentidos, nossas análises se basearam no entendimento de que as palavras possuem significados instáveis, provisórios e precários, instituídos de modo relacional e diferencial. Com as teorizações de Joan Scott e Judith Butler, trazemos as proposições de Derrida para pensar os mecanismos de produção do feminino no social, através do conceito de gênero e da noção de identidade performativa. Entre os resultados construídos, está a invisibilidade que a história das mulheres apresenta no material de História, a naturalização de funções apresentadas como femininas nas apostilas de Ciência e a reprodução de concepções tradicionais sobre o lugar de meninas e meninos no corpus de Matemática. Mas concluímos também que os materiais didáticos pesquisados já possuem concepções menos sexistas na forma de significar o feminino, observando-se deslocamentos que sugerem certa hibridação. Porém, esses deslocamentos são inseridos nos textos de forma tímida, fazendo com que os postulados com maior poder de iteração sejam aqueles que ainda reproduzem velhas formas de ser mulher e de ser homem, podendo reforçar os estereótipos de gênero, caso não haja acesso a informações que se contraponham às encontradas.
