OBJECTIVE To understand the meaning of care management attributed by faculty members of a nursing course from the viewpoint of complex thinking. METHODS Qualitative and comprehensive research with case studies, and individual interviews with 17 faculty members of a nursing course of a public university in southern Brazil. The data were subjected to comprehensive analysis based on the principl...

AI-sensitive (als) mutants of Arabidopsis were isolated and characterized with the aim of defining mechanisms of AI toxicity and resistance. Most als mutants selected on the basis of root growth sensitivity to AI were recessive, and together the mutants constituted eight complementation groups. Also, in most als mutants, AI sensitivity appeared to be specific for AI relative to La (another triv...

Recent developments in computer technology have significantly altered the way the insurance business functions. Easy access to large quantities of data has rendered some traditional ratemaking limitations obsolete. The emergence of catastrophe simulation using computer modeling has helped actuaries develop new methods for measuring catastrophe risk and providing for it in insurance rates. This ...

The pro-oxidative properties of the four flavonoids, quercetin, morin, naringenin and hesperetin, in human lymphocyte system were investigated. Naringenin and hesperetin accelerated the oxidation of deoxyribose induced by Fe(3+)/H(2)O(2) in a concentration range of 0-200 microM, but quercetin and morin decreased it when the concentration was greater than 100 microM. The generation of hydrogen p...

We have developed a GC/MS method to simultaneously measure the concentrations of 15 biologically active phenolic components of wine:  vanillic acid, gentisic acid, m- and p-coumaric acid, gallic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, cis- and trans-resveratrol, epicatechin, catechin, morin, quercetin, and cis- and trans-polydatin. Wine (1 mL) was diluted 1:1 with water to reduce the alcohol content ...

RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo estabelecer um diálogo epistemológico entre Paulo Freire e Edgar Morin, sob a perspectiva da Linguística Aplicada. Os aportes teóricos para interlocução pretendida são educação bancária emancipadora (FREIRE, 1992, 2002, 2005, 2007), Epistemologia Complexidade (MORIN, 1990, 1996, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2013), o entendimento de ato pedagógico (SANTOS, 2018) c...

Este texto apresenta a visão da natureza e paisagem China partir dos relatos pessoais de dois autores franceses, Roland Barthes Edgar Morin. O primeiro viajou nos anos 1970 com comitiva Tel Quel, convite agência turismo chinesa, uma experiência controlada organizada. Morin, duas décadas depois após as reformas políticas, sociais econômicas, visitou como convidado Associação Chinesa para Compree...

The iron binding properties and antioxidant activities of compounds with hydroxy-keto binding sites, 3-hydroxychromone, 5-hydroxychromone, and sulfonated morin were investigated. For these compounds, prevention of iron-mediated DNA damage and kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation were studied in aqueous solutions close to physiological pH (pH 6). 3-Hydroxychromone and sulfonated morin inhibit iron-media...
