Che Ke Rapyça - ouvir em sonho: a mudança do Tekoha para a redução jesuíta no Tekoha Guasu do Guayrá

Colóquio Yo el Supremo (1974-2014) – Augusto Roa Bastos – 03 e 04 de dezembro de 2014. Organizadores Alai Diniz e Fernanda PereiraNo início do século XVII na região do tekoha Guasu doGuayrá na América espanhola os Guarani estavam em crise, sofriam com as epidemias que geravam grande mortandade no contato com os não índios e desestruturava a organização social de base nuclear das famílias extensas. As narrativas Guarani missioneira trazem a produção de experiências de Che Ke rapyça: ouvir em sonho, que as mesmas evocam na vida dos Guarani e demonstram que em momentos de crise, pensaram o destino, a partir dos conhecimentos próprios, as estratégias de alianças. E, é o conhecimento e a ação do Topehýi: do sonho, que conduzem os Guarani para a tomada de decisões na mudança do tekoha para a redução jesuíta de Nuestra Señora del Loreto del Pirapó

The behaviour of PIV tracers in a homogeneous environment

The Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), a technique which is today completely developed, relies on the measured light scattered by suitable particles suspended in the flow. The choice of the proper tracers depends on the experiment type too: in the stratified one, according to the long time required for the preparation, it is very important to be sure to have the correct seeding density at the measurement time. For this reason it is very important to know well the tracers behaviour. In fact it can depend not only on the tracers type and size but also on the interaction with the environment in which they are used. In this work a preliminary study has been developed in order to check the tracers behaviour under different water conditions and with a simplified experimental set-up

Global well-posedness of Kirchhoff systems

The aim of this paper is to establish the $H^1$ global well-posedness for Kirchhoff systems. The new approach to the construction of solutions is based on the asymptotic integrations for strictly hyperbolic systems with time-dependent coefficients. These integrations play an important role to setting the subsequent fixed point argument. The existence of solutions for less regular data is discussed, and several examples and applications are presented.Comment: 24 page

Formation of Singularities for Weakly Non-Linear N×N Hyperbolic Systems

We present some results on the formation of singularities for C^1 - solutions of the quasi-linear N × N strictly hyperbolic system Ut + A(U )Ux = 0 in [0, +∞) × Rx . Under certain weak non-linearity conditions (weaker than genuine non-linearity), we prove that the first order derivative of the solution blows-up in finite time

[Abstract] How to secure better outcomes for everybody in asthma management: the international-medicines use review health technology assessment (international-MUR HTA)

Aims: This project is looking at the development and application of the novel tool (International–Medicines-Use-Review-Health-Technology-Assessment; International-MUR HTA) in community practice that for the first time is able to meet better asthma control and secure added value service in asthma management. More specifically it allows to: evaluate the quality of care delivered in terms of economic impact (for patient-provider-society), health outcomes and patient benefits; collect real-world evidence and evaluate longterm effect of care; provide different stakeholders with evidence-based information that would help formulate health policies in community practice that are safe, effective, patient-focused and cost-effective, balancing access to innovation and cost containment. Crucially, the tool can also support the delivery of a cost-effective and cost-saving intervention for asthma patients based on the success of the Italian-Medicines-Use-Review (I-MUR) trial [1]. Methods: Evidence from the Italian-Medicine-Use-Review (I-MUR) trial showed that the I-MUR intervention provided by the community pharmacists in asthma is effective, cost-saving and cost-effective.1 The trial allowed to model a novel framework (International-MUR-HTA) that would enable to routinely deliver the intervention, but also collect and analyse patient relevant data on its clinical-effectiveness, quality-of-life and cost-effectiveness. I-MUR-HTA was discussed within three expert-panel discussions including policy-makers, commissioners, academics, healthcare-professionals and patientrepresentatives in Italy,2 UK3 and Brussels/Europe.4 The current plan includes testing the use of the tool in RW environment across European regions. Results: Evidence collected from the expert discussions confirmed that International-MUR-HTA information is relevant to meet current NICE target for cost-effective service delivery and this is what is needed to support the evaluation of innovative effective and cost-effective health policies and promote their implementation across nations. Its implementation is underway and real-world pilots are planned to take place in different European regions. Conclusion: the International-MUR-HTA appears to be an innovative tool to promote active patient involvement into policy-decision-making and community service implementation

Pharmacists’ and patients’ views and feedback on Italian Medicines Use Review (I-MUR)

Rationale, aims and objectives: Although medicine review services are offered by community pharmacists in many countries, they are non-existent in Italy. A novel intervention I-MUR, was developed for patients with asthma aiming to improve medicines use. The aim of this study was to obtain pharmacists’ and patients’ views on the acceptability of the I-MUR service provided by community pharmacists to asthma patients in four regions of Italy. Methods: Pharmacists’ expectations, experiences and attitudes to delivering the I-MUR were obtained through questionnaires distributed before and after delivering the I-MUR, plus focus groups. Patients’ views were obtained via questionnaires, distributed by the pharmacists and returned anonymously. Results: Seventy-four pharmacists provided the I-MUR service to 895 asthma patients; 49 pharmacists completed both questionnaires, 53 participated in focus groups and 246 patients returned questionnaires. Barriers anticipated most frequently by pharmacists before the I-MUR were lack of time (53%) and lack of co-ordination with other health professionals (61%), while lack of financial compensation was identified by 37%. Lack of co-ordination proved the most common actual barrier (88%), with lack of financial compensation being cited less frequently after providing the intervention (8%). Ninety-six percent of pharmacists anticipated providing both education on inhaler technique and medication counselling, but in practice slightly fewer had provided these (90% and 86% respectively). Focus groups highlighted a lack of relevant undergraduate education to support medication review and structural barriers within some pharmacies, but described positive patient feedback and desire to extend the I-MUR. Patients’ respondents were positive; 62% indicated the reason for having an I-MUR as making sure that they were using medication correctly, 75% considered they benefited from it and 86% would recommend it to others. Conclusions: The I-MUR service was perceived positively by both pharmacists and patients, supporting the extension of medicine review services to community pharmacists in Italy

Cotidiano de fronteira em países da América Latina e Ibéricos

O I Encontro Internacional do MALOCA Grupo de Estudos Multidisciplinares em Urbanismos e Arquiteturas do Sul teve por objetivo apresentar os resultados do seu primeiro triênio (2014-2016) e debater os rumos das pesquisas do grupo para o triênio 2017-2019. Divulgamos agora os Anais Eletrônicos do I Encontro, que aconteceu em outubro de 2017 na Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana (UNILA). Confiram no link: https://revistas.unila.edu.br/anaismaloca/index :)Este trabalho procura problematizar a temática de fronteira em países da América Latina e Ibéricos, sobre o ponto de vista do cotidiano desses países, na questão social e econômica, como na tríplice fronteira entre o Brasil, Paraguai e Argentina; Brasil, Peru e Bolívia; o norte do México, na América Latina e Portugal e Espanha na península Ibérica. Nesses espaços, ocorrem migrações de pessoas, como a diária, temporária ou permanente, conforme os interesses de cada uma, e o comércio de mercadorias, de forma legal e lícita, conforme a lei do país em questão, e também a ilegal, a clandestina e a ilícita. Diante disso, observa-se que em meio à variedade de compras de mercadorias, algumas acontecem através do contrabando, situações de comércio que se insere no contexto da globalização. No entanto, esse cenário propicia a identidade de cultura de fronteiras, que consequentemente resultam no desenvolvimento do local, com as vendas de produtos, como também à renda do trabalho, e assim sendo, à ampliação urbana em tais espaços geográficos. Porém, convém lembrar que nesse trabalho são leituras das fronteiras e não sobre as fronteiras em si, pois cada uma tem sua política em questão.Este trabajo busca problematizar la temática de frontera en países latinoamericanos e ibéricos bajo el punto de vista del cotidiano de dichos países considerándose la cuestión socioeconómica como en la triple frontera entre Brasil, Paraguay y Argentina, Brasil, Peru y Bolívia, el norte de México, en Latinoamérica, Portugal y España en la península Ibérica.

Notes on a paper of Pokhozhaev

We prove a second order identity for the Kirchhoff equation which yields, in particular, a simple and direct proof of Pokhozhaev's second order conservation law when the nonlinearity has the special form $(C_1 s +C_2)^{-2}$. As applications, we give: an estimate of order $\varepsilon^{-4}$ for the lifespan $T_\varepsilon$ of the solution of the Cauchy problem with initial data of size $\varepsilon$ in Sobolev spaces when the nonlinearity is given by any $C^2$ function $m(s)>0$; a necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness of a second order energy of the solutions.Comment: 7 page
