RESUMO:O artigo baseia-se em relatar as atividades desenvolvidas no projeto de pesquisa, registrado no DEPEP do IF Farroupilha: “A Feira da Produção da Reforma Agrária da Agricultura Familiar – FEPRARF – de Júlio de Castilhos: uma análise”, ocorrido de maio a agosto de 2016, junto aos agricultores familiares, pertencentes a FEPRAF. Identificar o perfil dos feirantes, os produtos comercializados, o processo de produção, os custos, a logística, os canais de comercialização, a rotulagem dos produtos e o marketing realizado foi o objetivo. Pesquisa bibliográfica e o estudo de caso embasaram a elaboração e aplicação de questionários e entrevistas com os feirantes. O diagnóstico demonstrou a importância da agricultura familiar, da FEPRAF e os benefícios oferecidos para o município. A observação participante, por parte de duas estudantes do curso de Agronegócio, possibilitou reflexões expressivas nos envolvidos.Palavras-chave: Agricultura Familiar. Feira da Agricultura familiar.

ABSTRACT:The article is based on reporting the activities carried out in the research project, registered in DEPEP of IF Farroupilha: "The Fair of the Production of Agrarian Reform of Family Agriculture - FEPRAF - by Júlio de Castilhos: an analysis", occurred from May to August 2016, together with family farmers, belonging to FEPRAF. Identifying the profile of marketers, marketed products, production process, costs, logistics, marketing channels, product labeling and marketing was the objective. Bibliographical research and the case study were based on the elaboration and application of questionnaire and interviews with the fairgrounds. The diagnosis demonstrated the importance of family farming, FEPRAF and the benefits offered to the municipality. The participant observation, by two students of the course of Agribusiness, allowed for significant reflections on those involved.Keywords: Family farming. Family Agriculture Fair. FEPRAF.

Made In

Our forensic human factors firm was retained to research the facts and formulate an opinion about a series of errors that resulted in an incorrect intravenous bag being used on a hospitalized patient. The patient died as a result of the administration of this drug. We were asked to explore the issue of errors made in administering medications and to provide an opinion specifically regarding the labeling of the subject intravenous bag product. In the process of exploring those issues, we also assessed the frequency of this type of error involving product labeling and packaging of drugs and why these errors are made by trained professionals. From our research into medical error statistics, theories of human error, and design principles for product labels, we provided recommendations for improving the labeling and packaging which, if implemented, would most likely help to reduce these types of errors.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Deformation Patterns

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
