Encuentro de saberes: Huellas de memoria pluriversa y descolonización de la Universidad contemporánea
2018
This paper studies the Encounter of Knowledge as a project that, by welcoming mestres and mestras of ancestral knowledge into universities, contributes to decolonize higher education, broadening its field of memory. Based on a systematization exercise, we established a theoretical dialogue with Bajtin and Bejamin. Based on the participation of four mestres -Lucely Pío, raicera del Cerrado, Mãe Lu and Tata Mutá Imé, religious leaders of Candomblé and the political leader and shaman Álvaro Tukano of the Tukano nation- we show how the project promotes in the contemporary Brazilian university a space of mnemic pluriversity, capable of activating diverse narrative planes (biographical, political…
Paper-bound online readers: Revisiting reading strategies of foreign language learners
2016
Making sense of any text written in a foreign language is a dynamic and demanding activity that engages decoding and comprehending processes. Meaning construction entails comprehension monitoring as quite often foreign language users may be confused by the information they have decoded, and then they have to identify the possible sources of confusion. Reading strategies – plans for solving problems with the construction of meaning (Duffy 1993) – play an important role in monitoring text comprehension, both printed on and electronic. Since the electronic media have entered educational, professional and private spaces where they coexist with printed matter, it is crucial to understand how and…
Discharge management in fresh and brackish water RAS: Combined phosphorus removal by organic flocculants and nitrogen removal in woodchip reactors
2020
The current study combined P and N removal using organic flocculant chemicals and woodchip bioreactors in both freshwater and brackish water (7 ppm) recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). The use of carbon (C) containing flocculant chemicals in the process was hypothesized to further stimulate C-demanding N removal (denitrification) in bioreactors. The trial of combined P and N removal consisted of four treatments: freshwater and brackish water RAS with and without the addition of supernatant from flocculation process to the woodchip reactor. Duplicate woodchip reactors were used per treatment and the trial was run for six weeks. 56 % and 49 % of P was removed from fresh and brackish slud…
An Automatic Ontology-Based Approach to Support Logical Representation of Observable and Measurable Data for Healthy Lifestyle Management: Proof-of-C…
2020
Background Lifestyle diseases, because of adverse health behavior, are the foremost cause of death worldwide. An eCoach system may encourage individuals to lead a healthy lifestyle with early health risk prediction, personalized recommendation generation, and goal evaluation. Such an eCoach system needs to collect and transform distributed heterogenous health and wellness data into meaningful information to train an artificially intelligent health risk prediction model. However, it may produce a data compatibility dilemma. Our proposed eHealth ontology can increase interoperability between different heterogeneous networks, provide situation awareness, help in data integration, and discover…
Polysubstituted ferrocenes as tunable redox mediators
2018
A series of four ferrocenyl ester compounds, 1-methoxycarbonyl- (1), 1,1’-bis(methoxycarbonyl)- (2), 1,1’,3-tris(methoxycarbonyl)- (3) and 1,1’,3,3’-tetrakis(methoxycarbonyl)ferrocene (4), has been studied with respect to their potential use as redox mediators. The impact of the number and position of ester groups present in 1–4 on the electrochemical potential E1/2 is correlated with the sum of Hammett constants. The 1/1+–4/4+ redox couples are chemically stable under the conditions of electrolysis as demonstrated by IR and UV–vis spectroelectrochemical methods. The energies of the C=O stretching vibrations of the ester moieties and the energies of the UV–vis absorptions of 1–4 and 1+–4+ c…
The territorial dimension in the EU programming and the New Framework for Public Policies: Territorial Tural Development, CAP Reform and new LEADER
2012
Lo que venimos denominando como perspectiva territorial del desarrollo es un fenómeno bastante reciente en el contexto de la Unión Europea, de apenas dos décadas. En esencia esta perspectiva territorial del desarrollo se ha centrado en un enfoque local de los procesos de desarrollo en las áreas rurales, de la mano, principalmente, de instrumentos como LEADER. La necesidad de incorporar la dimensión territorial a los procesos de desarrollo proviene no solo del éxito global de estos instrumentos, sino también por el convencimiento de que puede constituir un elemento fundamental de cara a la cohesión económica y social en el seno de la UE. Avances recientes, como el Libro Verde de la Cohesión …
N,N-Dimethyl-N-propylpropan-1-aminium chloride monohydrate
2008
The title compound, C8H20N+·Cl−·H2O, has been prepared by a simple one-pot synthesis route followed by anion exchange using resin. In the crystal structure, the cations are packed in such a way that channels exist parallel to the b axis. These channels are filled by the anions and water molecules, which interact via O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds [O...Cl = 3.285 (3) and 3.239 (3) Å] to form helical chains. The cations are involved in weak intermolecular C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The title compound is not isomorphous with the bromo or iodo analogues.

In the title compound, C16H18O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 33.4 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are packed in a zigzag arrangement along the b-axis and are interconnected via weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and C—H⋯π interactions involving the methoxy groups and the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules.
3,5-Dimethoxy-4'-methylbiphenyl
2013
The title compound, C15H16O2, crystallizes with three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The intramolecular torsion angle between the aromatic rings of each molecule are −36.4 (3), 41.3 (3) and −37.8 (3)°. In the crystal, the complicated packing of the molecules forms wave-like layers along the b and c axes. The molecules are connected via extensive methoxy–phenyl C—H…π interactions. A weak C—H…O hydrogen-bonding network also exists between methoxy O atoms and aromatic or methoxy H atoms.
