Resumo O 12º Congresso Internacional de Zoologia realizou-se em Lisboa, em 1935. Da sua memória concreta constam insígnias – estrela-do-mar – e caricaturas de zoólogos. A partir de investigação no Arquivo do Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência/Universidade de Lisboa, pretendemos interrogar a cenografia material, pensada pelo zoólogo Artur Ricardo Jorge pela aproximação epistémica às potencialidades da biografia de objetos científicos. Esta nota de pesquisa pretende deixar a marca de um discurso científico traduzido em materialidades de circulação em espaço público, na Europa globalizante dos anos 1930, com referências de poder científico, no contexto do Estado Novo português, inaugurado, constitucionalmente, em 1933.

Abstract The material memory of the 12th International Congress of Zoology, held in Lisbon in 1935 includes insignias – the starfish – and caricatures of zoologists. Through an investigation of the archives at the University of Lisbon’s National Museum of Natural History and Science, we intend to investigate the material landscape as conceived by the zoologist Artur Ricardo Jorge by drawing epistemologically on the potentialities of the biography of scientific objects. This research note reveals a scientific discourse translated into materialities circulated in public spaces in the globalized Europe of the 1930s, with references from scientific power, in the context of Portugal’s Estado Novo regime, enshrined in its 1933 constitution.

ABSTRACT The generation of sewage sludge and the concern with their fate has greatly increased. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of using in natura (SS) or composted sewage sludge (SSC) in comparison with mineral fertilizer (MF) application and a control (CT) treatment on the nutritional status of Guanandi (Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess.) seedlings in a typical Red Oxisol in Brazil. The leaf-level nutritional responses of the Guanandi seedlings to these three different fertilizers and the control were evaluated at 90 and 180 days after planting. Nutritional data of leaf variables were compared between the treatments by means of one-way analysis of variance using the F test and a pair-wise comparison of means done by Tukey’s test. The seedlings that received SS or SSC showed deficiencies in Ca, Mg, and Mn, which were confirmed by a visual diagnosis of their leaf symptoms. However, at 180 days after planting there were significant differences (p < 0.05) for K that was greater for MF, SS and SSC than CT, Mg, with SSC larger than SS, and for S that was greater with SS and SSC uses relative to MF. The results highlight the potential for using SS and SSC, after adding KCl and lime, although the Guanandi was highly demanding of Ca, Mg, and Mn. However, they were able to nutritionally supply seedlings, although the short-term cannot be conclusive as regards the exclusive use of them in place of mineral fertilizers.

Resumo Doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) são a principal causa global de doença aguda e morte e representam elevado custo socioeconômico. Universitários são altamente expostos. A pesquisa desenvolvida na Unicamp teve como objetivo quantificar e gerar autopercepção do (des)conhecimento sobre as DST, além de avaliar o interesse em uma disciplina sobre o tema. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi o questionário enviado eletronicamente aos graduandos do final de 2011 e aos alunos recém-ingressos em 2012. Responderam o questionário 1.448 veteranos e 371 calouros. Não tinham tido atividade sexual 20% dos veteranos e 38% dos calouros. Dos alunos que já haviam tido, 26,9% não tinham parceria fixa e 28,2%, mais que duas parcerias/ano. O preservativo foi usado por 99% dos alunos, mas menos de 20% deles faziam uso adequado. Cerca de 80% não sabiam que o preservativo não protege fora da área de barreira; pretendiam ler mais sobre DST e aprenderam algo sobre o assunto. Quase a metade julgou que uma disciplina deveria ser oferecida a todos os graduandos. Estes dados serão úteis para definir estratégias de prevenção e o instrumento didático poderá ser utilizado em outros ambientes de ensino.

Abstract Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the main global cause of acute illness and death and represent a high socioeconomic cost. Undergraduate students are highly exposed to STDs. The research developed at UNICAMP sought to quantify and generate self-perception of knowledge(or lack thereof) about STDs, as well as evaluate the interest of the students in a course on the topic. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire sent electronically to students about to graduate at the end of 2011 and to freshmen in 2012. The questionnaire was answered by 1,448 seniors and 371 freshmen. Twenty percent of seniors and 38% of freshmen had no sexual activity. Among sexually active students, 26.9% had no regular partner and 28.2% more than two partners per year. The condom was used by 99% of students, but less than 20% used them appropriately. About 80% were unaware that condoms do not provide protection outside the barrier area; they intended to read more about STDs and learnt something about the subject. Nearly half of the students considered that a course should be offered to all undergraduates. These findings will be of use in defining strategies for prevention and the teaching tool could be used in other learning environments.

AbstractBACKGROUND:Some research indicates that physicians do not dominate the expected dermatological content for the proper exercise of the profession. This fact compromises their diagnostic and therapeutic performance, generating unnecessary costs.OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to evaluate the relevance of Dermatology and the knowledge acquired in the specialty during the undergraduate course in clinical practice of graduates at the State University of Campinas Medical School (FCM/UNICAMP).METHOD:A questionnaire with 22 closed questions and two open ones was electronically sent to physicians who had graduated more than 10 years ago and others for less than 10 years. In the first group, physicians were trained by the same curriculum and in the second group there were subjects trained by the old and the new curriculum.RESULTS:Of the 126 respondents, 83% had completed a specialization course. Among all, 82% did not study dermatology after graduation. The majority considered that Dermatology has high relevance in clinical practice, regardless of the group. There was a statistically significant difference between non-dermatologist doctors graduated for more than 10 years and those graduated for less than 10 years regarding confidence about lesion diagnosis, diagnostic investigation and treatment of skin diseases. Physicians who have graduated for a longer time feel more insecure in relation to patients with dermatoses. Concerning contributions offered by graduation program completion they prioritized outpatient care, ability to diagnose, knowledge of pathology, research and knowledge of lesions.CONCLUSION:This study has shown that Dermatology is relevant in medical practice and more recent graduates from the FCM/UNICAMP feel less insecure when treating a patient with dermatoses.

<p>Different colorimetric reagents, the Nash reagent (acetylacetone/ammonia solution), Purpald (4-amino- 3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole/sodium hydroxide solution) and 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH), were evaluated for the determination of formaldehyde in indoor air samples. Analytical parameters such as color stability of the product formed, sampling efficiency and reaction conditions were compared for the methodologies. Several method validation parameters were determined for the three colorimetric methods.

Resumo O texto apresenta os resultados de pesquisa desenvolvida com o objetivo de analisar quais são, para egressos dos cursos de pedagogia e de medicina, da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, as contribuições da formação universitária para uma atuação como profissional-cidadão. Procuramos desvendar a partir da avaliação dos egressos, aspectos de Educação Geral ao longo da formação, tanto nos currículos dos cursos como nas vivências universitárias oferecidas pela Unicamp. A pesquisa teve como base a importância de se ter uma formação universitária que ultrapasse os limites da formação técnica profissional específica e se estenda para uma que possibilite o desenvolvimento do senso crítico, do pensamento reflexivo, comportamento ético, habilitando para uma atuação com responsabilidade social. A amostra foi composta por 22,3% dos egressos do curso de medicina e 23,1% do curso de pedagogia. Os egressos de ambos os cursos avaliam que os aspectos de Educação Geral que mais vivenciaram foram as “discussões sobre grandes temas” e “estudos de clássicos da cultura ocidental”. Quanto à atuação profissional, mais de 90% desses egressos encontram-se atuando na sua área de formação e têm autopercepção de que atuam como profissionais-cidadãos. A maioria (70%) dos egressos avalia ainda que esta atuação está relacionada à formação dada na universidade que foi: adequada para as práticas profissionais; amparada em conhecimentos científicos; com visão social; pautada na ética; com valores humanos, ou seja, possui elementos de Educação Geral que possibilitaram uma formação de profissionais-cidadãos.

Abstract The paper reports the results of a survey conducted with the aim of analyzing what are, for graduates of Pedagogy and Medicine, from the State University of Campinas - Unicamp, the contributions of the university education for a performance as a professional-citizen. The research seeks to unravel, from the graduates point of view, the aspects of General Education in the curricula of the courses as in the other experiences offered by the university. The research was based on the importance of having a university education that goes beyond the boundaries of specific vocational and technical training, that is, that extends to one that develops ethical behavior, critical and reflective thinking, enabling for a performance with social responsibility. The sample comprised 22.3% of Medical School graduates and 23.1% of the School of Education. For the graduates of both programs the aspects of General Education that were more experienced were "discussions on major topics" and "studies of of Western culture classics." As for professional practice, over 90% of graduates are working in their training area and have a perception that they act as a professional-citizens. Most graduates (70%) evaluate that this activity is related to the training provided at Unicamp, as being: suitable for professional practices, supported by scientific knowledge; with social vision; based on ethics and human values. All these are elements of general education that allowed for their formation as professional-citizens.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo quantificar as emissões de gás carbônico a partir de um Latossolo Vermelho eutroférrico sob pastagem degradada localizada na região de Sorocaba. Os tratamentos avaliados foram: lodo de esgoto (LE), composto de lodo de esgoto (CLE), adubo mineral (AM) e ausência de adubação (T0). O experimento foi conduzido em blocos inteiramente casualizados, sendo analisado o efeito dos quatro tratamentos (CLE, LE, AM e T0) com quatro repetições. A aplicação de lodo de esgoto, composto de lodo de esgoto, fertilizante mineral e ausência de adubação apresentaram efeito estatístico quanto às variáveis de incremento em altura e a altura do coleto das mudas de Guanandi (Calophyllum brasiliense Cambessèdes - Calophyllaceae). Os tratamentos apresentaram diferença significativa quanto às emissões de CO2 do solo. O CLE foi o tratamento de apresentou os maiores fluxos de CO2, atingindo um pico de 9,33±0,96 g C m- 2 dia- 1 (p<0,0001), assim como o LE, com um fluxo máximo de CO2 de 6,35±1,17 C m- 2 dia- 1 (p<0,005), já o tratamento AM (4,96±1,61 g C m- 2 dia- 1) apresentou o mesmo efeito estatístico que o T0 (5,33±0,49 g C m- 2 dia- 1). Os fluxos de CO2 apresentaram correlação com a temperatura do solo em todos os tratamentos estudados. No entanto, considerando o período de 172 dias de avaliação do experimento, a perda total de C na forma de CO2 foi de 2,7% do total de C adicionado com a aplicação dos resíduos no solo para o lodo de esgoto e de 0,7% do total de C adicionado com a aplicação dos resíduos no solo para o composto de lodo de esgoto.

This study aimed to quantify the carbon dioxide emissions from an Oxisol under degraded pasture located in Sorocaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. The treatments were: sewage sludge (LE), sewage sludge compost (CLE), mineral fertilizer (AM) and no fertilization (T0). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with analysis of the effect of the four treatments (CLE, LE, and AM T0) with four replications. The application of sewage sludge, sewage sludge compost, mineral fertilizer and no fertilizer was statistically significant for the variables of height increase and stem height of Guanandi seedlings (Calophyllum brasiliense Cambessèdes - Calophyllaceae). Treatments showed significant differences in terms of CO2 emissions from soil. The CLE exhibited the highest CO2 fluxes, reaching a peak of 9.33±0.96 g C m- 2 day- 1 (p<0.0001), as well as the LE with a maximum CO2 flux of 6.35±1.17 C m- 2 day- 1 (p<0.005). The AM treatment (4.96±1.61 g C m- 2 day- 1) had the same statistical effect as T0 (5.33±0.49 g C m- 2 day- 1). CO2 fluxes were correlated with soil temperature in all treatments. However, considering the period of 172 days of evaluation, the total loss of C as CO2 was 2.7% for sewage sludge and 0.7% for the sewage sludge compost of the total C added with the application on soil.

En el contexto de educación superior, la participación de estudiantes en el diseño curricular es poco enfatizada. Este trabajo resulta de una investigación desarrollada con discentes de todas las carreras profesionales de la Universidad Estatal de Campinas - Unicamp - Brasil, con el objetivo de conocer la perspectiva de estos, qué aspectos del currículo de sus carreras profesionales son vistos como esenciales, y cuál sería el principal énfasis curricular que se debería abordar para prepararlos mejor para la actualidad y el futuro mundo del trabajo. Los datos revelan que los estudiantes están hoy más preocupados que en el pasado por cuestiones sociales, y resienten no ver ese énfasis abordado en los currículos. El trabajo es relevante por dar voz a la opinión de los estudiantes, una vez que ejercen un importante papel al transformar el currículo intencionado en currículo experimentado.

Em nosso contexto de educação superior, a participação de estudantes no desenho curricular é pouco enfatizada. Esse trabalho resulta de uma pesquisa desenvolvida com discentes de todos os cursos da Universidade Estadual de Campinas - Unicamp, com o objetivo de conhecer, na perspectiva destes, quais aspectos dos currículos de seus cursos são vistos como essenciais e qual seria a principal ênfase curricular que os currículos deveriam abordar para melhor prepará-los para o atual, e o futuro, mundo do trabalho. Os resultados demonstram uma mudança no comportamento e na visão do aluno sobre qual deva ser a direção de sua formação como profissional, o que desafia as políticas curriculares a tomar em consideração aspectos apontados por eles. Os dados desvelam que os estudantes hoje estão mais preocupados com questões sociais do que estiveram no passado e que se ressentem de não ver essa ênfase abordada nos currículos. A pesquisa é relevante por dar voz à opinião dos estudantes, uma vez que estes exercem importante papel ao transformar o currículo intencionado em currículo experienciado.

In the context of higher education, student participation in curriculum design is little emphasized. This work results from a research developed with students from all courses at the State University of Campinas - Unicamp - Brazil, with the aim of knowing their perspective regarding which curricular aspects of profesional careers are considered to be seen as essential, and which would be the main curricular emphasis that should be applied in order to better prepare them for the current and the future world of work. The data reveal that students today are more concerned with social issues than they have been in the past and resent not see this emphasis addressed in the curriculum. The research is relevant for giving voice to students’ opinion, once they play an important role in transforming the curriculum intended to a experienced curriculum.

This article founded on documental analysis as well as on analysis of the literature in the field, addresses the issue of non-neutrality of quality assessment; it discusses dimensions of the quality concept, identifies factors that contribute to the non-neutrality of quality in reference to universities. It emphasizes that the benchmarks that are considered valuable to the evaluator (reference model), give different characteristics to the institutional and program evaluation models for higher education, making reference to the cases of Colombia, Argentina and Brazil and discusses the different implications of its operation. It is inferred that what contributes to the non-neutrality of quality assessment are: the conceptual emphasis on one or on several quality dimensions, the purpose of the evaluator, which determines the quality benchmarks he uses, and the demands for quality which are endogenous or exogenous to the institution, program or system that is under evaluation.

En este artículo en base al análisis documental y de la literatura del área se aborda el tema de la no neutralidad de la evaluación de la calidad, se exploran dimensiones en el concepto de calidad proponiendo un modelo comprensivo, se identifican factores que contribuyen a la no neutralidad del concepto en referencia a las instituciones universitarias. Se enfatiza en que los elementos de referencia considerados valiosos para el evaluador (modelo de referencia) comunican características diferenciales a los modelos de evaluación institucional y de programas para educación superior haciendo mención a los casos de Colombia, Argentina y Brasil y se analizan las diversas implicancias en su funcionamiento. Se infiere que contribuyen a la no neutralidad de la evaluación de la calidad: el énfasis conceptual en alguna o algunas dimensiones de la calidad, el propósito que es de interés del evaluador, el cual determina el referente de calidad a utilizar, y las demandas de calidad endógenas y exógenas a la institución, programa o sistema que es objeto de evaluación.

In this work, a rapid and simple method using capillary electrophoresis (CE) was developed for the determination of the benzoate, sorbate, methyl and propylparaben in foodstuffs. A running buffer consisting of 20 mmol L-1 (pH = 9.3) tetraborate enabled separation of the analytes in less than 5 min. The detector wavelength was set at 220 nm. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of sodas, sweeteners, sauces and juices. The range of preservatives found were from 478.5-466.6 mg kg-1 for methylparaben , 83.7-231.3 mg kg-1 for sorbate and 336.7-428.3 mg kg-1 for benzoate.

This work describes CE preconcentration strategies based on the effect of manipulation of the disperse/secondary velocity. Introduced by Terabe et al. in 1984, micellar electrokinetic chromatography is a powerful separation approach that increases the usage of electrokinetic phenomena for the separation of nonionic compounds. The main disadvantage of MEKC is the low concentration sensitivity associated with the limited optical path length for on-capillary photometric detection and the limited volume of sample solution that can be injected. This paper compiles on-line concentration strategies for neutral analytes by sample stacking and sweeping in micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

Analisamos neste artigo o surgimento da universidade denominada "moderna", as funções e papéis a ela atribuídos ou dela esperados, a crise desse modelo nos tempos atuais e alguns dos elementos que estão caracterizando a universidade contemporânea. A instituição que se constituiu como "universidade moderna" teve origem na organização da Universidade de Berlim, em 1808. Passados dois séculos, podemos afirmar que as formulações de Humboldt, bem como seus pressupostos mais gerais, são ainda tomadas como relevantes. No entanto, seus princípios têm sido negligenciados ou substituídos por outros menos nobres. Na atualidade, que podemos caracterizar como sendo um período denominado pós-moderno, discute-se um novo projeto para a universidade que possa lhe permitir continuar sendo uma importante instituição do tempo presente.

This article analyses the emergence of the modern university, the roles attributed to or expected from it, the crisis of this model in current times and some of the elements that characterize the contemporary university. The institution that was constituted as the "modern university" has its origin in the organization of the University of Berlin, in 1808. After two centuries, we can affirm that the formulations of Humboldt, as well as its more general presuppositions, are still relevant. However, its principles have been neglected or substituted for less noble ones. Presently, a period which we can characterize as post-modern, a new project for the university has to be discussed in order for it to continue to be an important institution for our time.
