Embolada e outras coisas do folclore tulusano: a experiência da Associação Escambiar em Toulouse - França

Since the middle 80 s from the 20th century, some musical genres associated to the Brazilian Northeastern region notably the forró, coco de embolada and repente de viola have been gradually incorporated to the musical production of south France linked to the occitanista trend, currently linking many musicians and groups from those regions in both countries. This paper is engaged in reflecting on the particular experience of the groups formed by the Escambiar Association, located on the city of Toulouse, and specially the duet Fabulous Trobadors, whose compositions are mostly made in the coco de embolada form. Watching the motivations and the processes that led to the creation of the groups from this association and it s current operation, this study investigates the transcultural phenomenon, that allow to cross two symbolic universes through rationalizing speeches about music, considering the locality s production in the midst of a political debate that involve questions about cultural identity and tradition

Feeding habits of the shortnose guitarfish, Zapteryx brevirostris (Müller and Henle, 1841) (Elasmobranchii, Rhinobatidae) in southeastern Brazil

Foram estudados os hábitos alimentares da raia-viola-de-focinho-curto, Zapteryx brevisrostris, com base em 382 espécimes coletados no litoral norte de São Paulo, sudeste do Brasil. A dieta mostrou predominância de crustáceos (carídeos e anfípodes), anelídeos poliquetos e ocasionalmente pequenos peixes, sipunculídeos e cefalópodes. A dieta de machos e fêmeas mostrou-se similar, entretanto, juvenis, subadultos e adultos demonstraram diferenças na composição de presas. As frequências dos itens diferiram ao longo do ano, provavelmente influenciadas por fatores oceanográficos, embora, em geral, a espécie se alimente predominantemente de crustáceos e poliquetos.

Zika virus damages the human placental barrier and presents marked fetal neurotropism

An unusually high incidence of microcephaly in newborns has recently been observed in Brazil. There is a temporal association between the increase in cases of microcephaly and the Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic. Viral RNA has been detected in amniotic fluid samples, placental tissues and newborn and fetal brain tissues. However, much remains to be determined concerning the association between ZIKV infection and fetal malformations. In this study, we provide evidence of the transplacental transmission of ZIKV through the detection of viral proteins and viral RNA in placental tissue samples from expectant mothers infected at different stages of gestation. We observed chronic placentitis (TORCH type) with viral protein detection by immunohistochemistry in Hofbauer cells and some histiocytes in the intervillous spaces. We also demonstrated the neurotropism of the virus via the detection of viral proteins in glial cells and in some endothelial cells and the observation of scattered foci of microcalcifications in the brain tissues. Lesions were mainly located in the white matter. ZIKV RNA was also detected in these tissues by real-time-polymerase chain reaction. We believe that these findings will contribute to the body of knowledge of the mechanisms of ZIKV transmission, interactions between the virus and host cells and viral tropism.

Os custos relacionados com a qualidade na prática fiscal das empresas portuguesas. Comparative case study

Todas as organizações deveriam preocupar-se com a análise dos custos da qualidade, dado que essa análise, para além de permitir identificar aspetos a melhorar, é uma ferramenta fundamental para os próprios órgãos de gestão dessas organizações. Esta análise sobre os custos da qualidade também deveria incidir sobre as atividades da empresa relacionadas com a sua prática fiscal. Porém, a literatura não apresenta qualquer referência à relação entre essas duas temáticas: custos da qualidade e fiscalidade empresarial. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho de investigação analisa a relação entre os princípios dos custos da qualidade e a fiscalidade empresarial em Portugal. Pelo que, optou-se pela metodologia case study, mais especificamente pela metodologia comparative case study, por se entender, e se ter demonstrado, ser a metodologia que melhor se adequa à complexidade do tema em análise. Este trabalho, para além de relacionar os custos da qualidade e a fiscalidade empresarial, permitiu apresentar e aplicar uma metodologia para implementação do modelo Prevention – Appraisal – Faillure (PAF), com o objetivo de diminuir os custos da qualidade na prática fiscal e atingir o nível económico da qualidade, bem como um índice de eficiência, que permite, a todo o momento, determinar o nível de eficiência atingido e a forma de o melhorar. Nesse sentido, concluiu-se que a generalidade das empresas portuguesas não aplica os princípios dos custos da qualidade ao seu departamento fiscal ou à sua prática fiscal, quer essa atividade seja executada internamente na empresa, quer seja executada externamente; Costs related to the quality of fiscal practice in Portuguese firms. Comparative case study Abstract: Every organization should be concerned about analyzing its quality costs, since that analysis, besides allowing identification of aspects to improve is a fundamental tool for the management organs of those organizations. This analysis of quality costs should also be carried out on firms’ activities related to their fiscal practice. However, no reference is found in the literature to the relationship between these two: quality costs and business taxation. This research analyzes the relationship between the principles of quality costs and business taxation in Portugal. So being, and to carry out this study, the case study methodology was chosen, more specifically the comparative case study methodology, through the understanding, and previous demonstration, that it is the most appropriate methodology for the complexity of the subject analyzed. Besides relating quality costs to business taxation, this study allowed presentation and application of a methodology for implementing the Prevention – Appraisal – Failure (PAF) model in companies’ fiscal practice which decreases the costs of this practice, reach the economic level of quality as well as an efficiency index, which allows at any time to determine the achieved level of efficiency and how to improve it. All in all, what this study demonstrated is that Portuguese companies, in general, do not apply the principles of quality costs to their taxation department or fiscal practice, whether that activity is performed internally in the firm or externally.

Transforming roles to support student development of academic literacies: a reflection on one team’s experience

Abstract: Social work is a discipline that attracts students from diverse academic backgrounds. Many are first in family to attend university, and come to university through alternative pathways such as vocational education. As a result, there are higher levels of attrition compared to other disciplines, especially in the first year. To address this, and in keeping with a commitment to provide accessible education, one school of social work undertook a project to embed academic literacies into the curriculum. This paper used Gibb’s reflective process to explore how this was experienced by team members. Data were collected via staff focus groups at two different points in time across the project and compared. The reflection unpacked a number of tensions experienced by team members, including concerns about potential loss of resources as a result of academics adopting new roles, and concerns about implementing what was seen as Westernised academic skills which may not fit with students’ ways of thinking and creating knowledge. Overfull curricula and constant change also appeared to be of concern. The reflection highlighted that to achieve effective and sustainable change, action was required at multiple levels.

Rethinking grassroots campaigners in the digital media: The ‘grassroots orchestra’ in Italy

The diffusion of digital media allows the emergence of new types of relations between grassroots campaigners and organisers. This article presents the results of a comparative qualitative study of two Italian cases of grassroots online participation: a local electoral campaign and a single-issue social movement. The first case is ‘Tell your Milano’, a project that took place during the electoral campaign for Mayor of Milan in the spring of 2011. The second case is the ‘Purple People’ (Popolo Viola), an Italian social movement started in 2009 to demand the resignation of the Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. The article introduces the concept of a ‘grassroots orchestra’: a grassroots campaign aimed at a short-term objective, coordinated by a non-grassroots political actor and performed by a community sharing a uniform and coherent context.

Análisis de los posibles efectos del TLC con Estados Unidos en el subsector del maíz

En el marco del desarrollo del sector primario en Colombia, se observa la existencia de una serie de situaciones o factores adversos que le impiden alcanzar su productividad y competitividad, entre los cuales destacan los altos costos de la materia prima e insumos utilizados en los procesos productivos de siembra y cosecha, la inexistencia de políticas públicas que garanticen un verdadero apoyo al campesinado colombiano, como los subsidios y/o estrategias de protección a la producción nacional, estas últimas, como barrera a la entrada en grandes volúmenes de productos importados, resultantes de los acuerdos internacionales donde se les da mayor participación a los productos importados, como ha sido en los últimos años, los provenientes de Canadá y Estados Unidos, este último, con la firma del TLC. Lo anterior ha coadyuvando a una reducción en las áreas de cultivo, así como en el rendimiento por hectáreas; como es el caso de la agrocadena de cereales, entre los que destaca el maíz amarillo, el cual ha experimentado un alto incremento en su volumen de importación, resultado de los excedentes exportables dados en la producción agrícola norteamericana, siendo los subsidios que a través de la ley Farm Bill, el gobierno norteamericano le otorga a los productores agropecuarios, un incentivo importante para tal fin. Con base en esto, los precios internacionales de comercialización del maíz amarillo han presentado una tendencia de decrecimiento, imposibilitando a los productores colombianos afrontar esta situación. Por medio de esta investigación se busca evaluar y esclarecer los posibles efectos del TLC de Colombia con Estados Unidos sobre los productores de maíz, y así mismo porporcionar alternativas de solución tanto para los campesinos como para el gobierno, identificando las principales variables que afectan la producción del cereal
