Manoel Moises, Mãe Bela e o protestantismo rural na história da Igreja Presbiteriana em Cabeceira Grande-MG (1947-1970

A ideia de um protestantismo rural é caracterizada pela relação dos crentes com o lúdico e a familiaridade com o sagrado. Este tipo protestante tupiniquim, genuinamente brasileiro, se desenvolveu em locais de pouca ou nenhuma resistência por parte do catolicismo, religião hegemônica no contexto brasileiro, fator que possibilitou arranjos e rearranjos que o diferenciam do protestantismo dito oficial. Esta pesquisa procura, pois, identificar algumas características deste protestantismo rural, principalmente sua interação com as culturas populares tradicionais no contexto fundante da Igreja Presbiteriana de Cabeceira Grande-MG. Através da metodologia de pesquisa em história oral e micro-história, o foco do estudo será aproximado à vida de duas importantes figuras que se destacaram neste contexto: o lavrador Manoel Moises e a parteira Mãe Bela. Manoel Moises, pioneiro protestante, chega à região em 1947, trazendo a sua mudança em um carro de bois. A origem da Igreja Presbiteriana em Cabeceira Grande deve-se às atividades deste pregador leigo e autônomo. Posteriormente, a comunidade já formada recebe a visita de pastores vinculados às Agências Missionárias estrangeiras atuantes na região. Assim como Manoel Moises é referência constante nas memórias locais, Mãe Bela, uma das primeiras convertidas ao protestantismo naquele lugar, é também lembrada por sua atuação como parteira e pelos seus conhecimentos da medicina tradicional, articulados com o imaginário religioso local. Mãe Bela também foi a doadora do terreno em que foi construído o templo da Igreja Presbiteriana, inaugurado em 1970.

Empirical research in business process management : introduction to the special issue

In this editorial letter, we provide the readers of Information Systems and e-Business Management with an introduction to Business Process Management and the challenges of empirical research in this field. We then briefly describe selected examples of current research efforts in this fields and how the papers accepted for this special issue contribute to extending our body of knowledge.

Introduction to the First International Workshop on Empirical Research in Business Process Management (ER-BPM 2009)

Providing effective IT support for business processes has become crucial for enterprises to stay competitive. In response to this need numerous process support paradigms (e.g., workflow management, service flow management, case handling), process specification standards (e.g., WS-BPEL, BPML, BPMN), process tools (e.g., ARIS Toolset, Tibco Staffware, FLOWer), and supporting methods have emerged in recent years. Summarized under the term “Business Process Management” (BPM), these paradigms, standards, tools, and methods have become a success-critical instrument for improving process performance.

In the pursuit of effective affective computing : the relationship between features and registration

For facial expression recognition systems to be applicable in the real world, they need to be able to detect and track a previously unseen person's face and its facial movements accurately in realistic environments. A highly plausible solution involves performing a "dense" form of alignment, where 60-70 fiducial facial points are tracked with high accuracy. The problem is that, in practice, this type of dense alignment had so far been impossible to achieve in a generic sense, mainly due to poor reliability and robustness. Instead, many expression detection methods have opted for a "coarse" form of face alignment, followed by an application of a biologically inspired appearance descriptor such as the histogram of oriented gradients or Gabor magnitudes. Encouragingly, recent advances to a number of dense alignment algorithms have demonstrated both high reliability and accuracy for unseen subjects [e.g., constrained local models (CLMs)]. This begs the question: Aside from countering against illumination variation, what do these appearance descriptors do that standard pixel representations do not? In this paper, we show that, when close to perfect alignment is obtained, there is no real benefit in employing these different appearance-based representations (under consistent illumination conditions). In fact, when misalignment does occur, we show that these appearance descriptors do work well by encoding robustness to alignment error. For this work, we compared two popular methods for dense alignment-subject-dependent active appearance models versus subject-independent CLMs-on the task of action-unit detection. These comparisons were conducted through a battery of experiments across various publicly available data sets (i.e., CK+, Pain, M3, and GEMEP-FERA). We also report our performance in the recent 2011 Facial Expression Recognition and Analysis Challenge for the subject-independent task.

Third international workshop on empirical research in business process management (ER-BPM 2012)

Empirical research in business process management(BPM) is coming of age. In 2009, when the inaugural ER-BPM workshop was held, the field of BPM research was characterized by a strong emphasis on solution development, but also by an increasing demand for insights or evaluations of BPM technology based on dedicated empirical research strategies. The ER-BPM workshop series was created to provide an international forum for researchers to discuss and present such research.

Genetic diversity of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) in the Baltic Sea

We described the patterns and extent of microsatellite DNA variation in historical and present-day Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks in the Baltic Sea and neighbouring areas, and in European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) ecotypes, populations and run-timing types in Finland. Moreover, the amount and pattern of genetic diversity in historical salmon populations before human impact were described, and the proportion of diversity maintained in the present hatchery stocks evaluated. Salmon populations in the Baltic Sea were, on average, significantly less variable than eastern Atlantic populations, and the diversity of landlocked populations (Lakes Vänern, Saimaa, Onega and Ladoga) was in turn significantly lower than that of anadromous salmon populations in the Baltic Sea populations. Within the Baltic Sea, the anadromous populations of Atlantic salmon formed three clear groups, corresponding to the northern (Gulf of Bothnia), eastern (Gulf of Finland and eastern Baltic Main Basin) and southern (western Baltic Main Basin) regions. Based on microsatellite data, three salmon population groups in the Baltic Sea were considered potentially different colonization lineages. In short- and long-term breeding programmes of Atlantic salmon, the average observed rate of loss of alleles was 4.9% and 2.0% per generation and the average rate of loss of heterozygosity was 1.4% and 1% per generation, respectively. When comparing the genetic parameters of stocks before and after hatchery breeding of several successive generations (Rivers Iijoki and Oulujoki), statistically significant changes in allele frequencies were common, while large wild stock in the Teno River has remained temporally very stable over 56 years. Despite the observed losses of genetic diversity in broodstock breeding, a large proportion of the genetic resources of the extirpated stocks are still conserved in the broodstocks. Genetic differentiation among European whitefish ecotypes was generally low, thus giving support to the hypothesis of one native European whitefish species in Fennoscandia. Among the ecotypes, the northern, large sparsely rakered, bottom-dwelling whitefish was the most unique. The known genetic differences in quantitative traits have thus either developed independently of potential phylogenetic lineages, or the lineages have mixed and the quantitative traits of the ecotypes, like gill-raker number, have later changed according to environment and selection pressures. Overall, genetic distances between the anadromous whitefish populations along the Finnish coast, especially in the Bothnian Bay area, were small. Wild whitefish populations studied had slightly higher allelic diversity than hatchery-reared populations in corresponding rivers.

Inclusión de harina de hojas de Marango (Moringa oleífera) en la alimentación de pollos de engorde y su efecto en el comportamiento productivo

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la inclusión de harina de hoja de Marango (Moringa oleifera) en dietas para pollos de engorde y su efecto sobre el comportamiento productivo (Consumo, Ganancia media Diaria (GMD) , peso final (PF), Peso de la canal (PC), Rendimiento de la canal (RC), Conversión alimenticia (CA) ) así como su efecto sobre el tracto gastrointestinal (TGI) y calidad de la canal (CC) . Se utilizaron 210 aves de la línea Cobb 500 con peso promedio 30.09 g (0.5) . Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar (DCA), distribuido en tres tratamientos con siete repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron: T1:concentrado comercial, T2: concentrado con 5% de harina de hoja de Marango (Moringa oleifera ) y T3: concentrado con 10% de harina de hoja de Marango ( Moringa olei fera ). Los datos fueron analizados por PROC ANDEVA con el paquete estadístico SAS® Ver. 9.1 , las comparaciones de medias por la prueba de Tu key . No se encontraron diferencias (p>0.05) para consumo , GMD, PF, PC, y RC. Existieron diferencias (p <0.05) para CA T1 ( 1.6 ) supero a T3 ( 1.79 ) pero fue similar a T2 ( 1. 64 ) . La morfometría del TGI no se vio afectada en términos generales por los tratamientos en estudio. La CC no mostro diferencias entre los tratamientos, con una mejor aceptación de las canales provenien te de las aves alimentadas con harina de hoja de Marango (T2 y T3). La valoración financiera determino que el T2 es una alternativa viable para sustituir dietas basadas en alimentos comerciales, al generar mayores utilidades sin que esto afecte el peso final de las aves.

Histoire philosophique et politique : des établissemens et du commerce des européens dans les deux Indes

Guillaume Raynal, historiador e filósofo francês, nasceu em Saint-Geniez-en Rouergue em 11 de abril de 1713 e morreu em Choillot, em 6 de março de 1796. Estudou no Colégio dos Jesuítas de Pézenas, distinguindo-se como pregador e professor. Abandonou o hábito jesuita para se dedicar à filosofia e à história, publicando numerosos artigos no Mercure de France. Tendo sido alvo de um mandado de prisão, refugiou-se na Prússia e mais tarde na Rússia; retornou à França em 1787. ‘Histoire philosofique et politique’ foi publicada simultaneamente pelo mesmo editor em duas impressões, contendo cinco volumes a primeira e dez volumes a segunda. Foi uma das obras que mais ínfluenciou o movimento da Revolução Francesa, tendo o autor utilizado opiniões e, eventualmente, a colaboração de Diderot e Holbach, entre outros contemporâneos. Proibido na França e ai queimado em 1781, este importante trabalho de Raynal teve mais de trinta edições num periodo de vinte anos e foi traduzido para quase todos os idiomas europeus. Segundo Borba de Moraes, ‘esta edição de Genebra é a melhor e mais bela’. Na impressão de dez volumes existentes na Biblioteca da Câmara, a seção referente ao Brasil encontra-se no volume 5.
