Benefits, Challenges and Strategies of Open Access And Repository Implementation in Seventh-Day Adventist University Libraries: An International Perspective

Open Access and institutional repositories are rapidly making their way into the scientific communication s pipe line. Many universities are implementing their own intellectual production repositories using open access strat egy and technology as a means for maintaining and accessing these archives. With this trend, libraries and researchers have free access to an abundance of subject, institutional and author access points. The literature is becoming robust in presenting the results of research depicting benefits from its use and the challenges libraries face implementing such initiatives. This research investigated 92 university and technological library directors from 66 different countries regarding their perspective on OA and institutional rep ository‟s benefits as well as the main challenges they face to implement such initiatives. Th irteen library directors from 10 different countries answered the survey. These results were then compared to the data reported in the litera ture of the area. Eleven benefits were reported. The main ones were: expends the circulation of scientific work; creates global visibility for an institution‟s scholarly works; maximizes research; accelerates the dissemination of research information; prov ides access to archival literature and allows digital copies to be posted in subject - specific institutional repositories. Thirteen barriers or challenges were presented. The main ones being: technological infrastructure; lack of budget or funds; lack of sp ecialized personnel, and lack of implementation and maintenance quality control system

A IMPORTÂNCIA DOS CONCEITOS DE AMEAÇA, VULNERABILIDADE E RISCO EM PLANOS DIRETORES MUNICIPAIS: ESTUDO DE CASO NO MUNICIPIO DE ALENQUER (PARÁ)

A natureza em função de sua dinâmica cria eventos que na presença da ocupação humana se constituem em ameaças que ao encontrarem um ambiente vulnerável tornam-se riscos ao homem. O Plano Diretor, criado pelo artigo 40 da Lei 10257/01, surge no sentido criar condições no município para que as cidades e zonas rurais possam planejar seu crescimento. No Estado do Pará o município de Alenquer, que convive historicamente com ameaça de enchentes provocadas pela cheia do furo Surubiú, através da Lei Municipal n° 704 de 9 de Outubro de 2007 aprovou o seu Plano Diretor. Este trabalho é uma análise para se verificar de que maneira a gestão de riscos naturais, ameaças e as vulnerabilidades que afetam o município são tratados nesse documento. Os resultados mostraram que esses conceitos em sua maioria não foram considerados ou tratados de maneira superficial no Plano Diretor prejudicando assim as políticas de gestão territorial.ABSTRACTNature, because of its dynamic, creates events that constitute hazards when happens in areas of vulnerable population. The Master Plan of municipalities, created by article 40 of the law 10257/01, establishes the conditions for the planning of urban and rural areas in the municipality. In the State of Pará, the urban area of the municipality of Alenquer coexists with frequent floods caused by the River Surubiu and in 2007, through law Municipal 704 has defined its Master Plan. The present work analyses how the natural risks management and vulnerabilities affecting the areas are addressed in this document. The results showed that these concepts were mostly not considered or treated superficially in the Master Plan, thus harming the land management policies

DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À PROVA E ÔNUS DAS PARTES: ASPECTOS CONSTITUCIONAIS E IMPLICAÇÕES A PARTIR DO CPC/2015

O artigo objetiva analisar o direito fundamental à prova e o ônus da sua produção pelas partes, como forma de assegurar a garantia constitucional da tutela jurisdicional adequada e efetiva, a partir de um enfoque na distribuição estática e dinâmica do ônus probatório, da sua inversão e da cooperação processual no CPC/2015. Através do método dedutivo, baseado em investigações bibliográficas, constatou-se que a distribuição dinâmica do ônus probatório possibilita a universalização das garantias fundamentais do acesso à justiça, do contraditório e da ampla defesa. A pesquisa contribui nas áreas do Direito Constitucional, Direitos Humanos e Fundamentais e Direito Processual Civil

Xanthan gum as an alternative to replace fat for coating and flavoring the extruded snacks

Food industries adapt their products and processes to the needs and desires of consumers. Extruded snacks include 10–20% fat sprinkled to fix flavors, seasonings, and salt. Considering the need to flavor snacks and simultaneously reduce the intake of calories, a polysaccharide is proposed in this study as a fat replacer. Impact of aqueous xanthan gum (Xg) solutions (0.25, 0.5, 1.0%) under two pH conditions (3.5 and 7.0) on structural and sensory characteristics of extruded snacks was analyzed. Rheological features of the coating solutions, as flow behaviour and viscoelastic profile (storage and loss moduli), were assessed. Texture analysis, to evaluate the snacks firmness and moisture content, water activity, retraction, and agglomeration index of the coated snacks, were also evaluated. Results for the aqueous Xg coatings were very encouraging showing good coating properties, not damaging the texture of the extrudates or causing agglomeration. Sensory analysis reflected a good overall acceptability of these snacks, as compared to oil-coated snacks. Therefore, xanthan gum should be used by the industry, to replace fat, on extruded snacks flavor coating solutionsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Carisma salesiano y educación superior

Las Instituciones Salesianas de Educación Superior (IUS) necesitamos generar una cultura universitaria que sea el resultado no solo de la experiencia, sino sobre todo del ejercicio de pensar cómo estamos haciendo educación superior. El punto nuclear de ese desafío es profundizar la riquísima relación entre carisma salesiano y el mundo universitario. Las IUS quieren ser un proyecto educativo que se inspira en los valores del Evangelio y en la pedagogía salesiana nacida del Sistema Preventivo vivido por Don Bosco. Pretenden caracterizarse por ser comunidades académicas que educan, unificadas en torno a un proyecto institucional definido al servicio de los jóvenes, especialmente de sectores populares, con una clara finalidad educativo-pastoral
