Neste artigo buscamos tecer algumas considerações a respeito do pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin, sobretudo, no que tange às suas contribuições ao campo da educação. Para tanto, se fez necessário um enfoque em sua obra “Sete saberes necessários à educação futuro”, pois acreditamos afora vasta produção acadêmica e intelectual autor, nesta Morin esforça estabelecer, forma pragmática, princípios...

O presente artigo procura analisar a forma pela qual se encontra religiosidade no pensamento de Edgar Morin. Apresenta hipótese que existe Morin uma perspectiva religiosa, é acessada por meio da ética. Desta forma, o religioso em necessita um estudo crítico, cuja epistemologia está pautada na Teoria Complexidade, religando os diversos saberes, conforme propõe Morin, onde complexidade também pos...

PURPOSE To address the effect of resveratrol and other red wine polyphenols on cell proliferation, apoptosis and androgen receptor (AR) expression in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS LNCaP cells (5 × 102) were cultured in microtiter plate modules and treated with gallic acid, tannic acid and quercetin (1, 5 and 10 μM), rutin and morin (25, 50 and 75 μM) and resveratrol...

Ultraviolet-A (UV-A) can damage microbes by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), singlet oxygen, superoxides, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals. These species readily react with lipids, proteins, DNA and other constituents of cells, leading to oxidative deterioration and the eventual death of the microbe. However, the oxidative ability of these reactive species also harms the viabili...

We begin with a quick summary of the notions of global singularity theory and the theory of Thom polynomials. For a more detailed review we refer the reader to [1, 15]. Let N and K be two complex manifolds of dimensions n and k respectively; assume that n ≤ k. Consider a holomorphic map f : N → K for which the differential d fp : TpN → TpK at a generic point p ∈ N is nonsingular, i.e. has rank ...

Flavonoids are constituents of fruits, vegetables, and plant-derived beverages, as well as components in herbal-containing dietary supplements. The objective of this investigation was to characterize the effect of flavonoids on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated cellular efflux and to determine the molecular mechanism(s) of the flavonoid-drug interaction. Studies were conducted in the sensitive and...

We consider routing problems in ad hoc wireless networks modeled as unit graphs in which nodes are points in the plane and two nodes can communicate if the distance between them is less than some fixed unit. We describe the first distributed algorithms for routing that do not require duplication of packets or memory at the nodes and yet guarantee that a packet is delivered to its destination. T...

Morin is one of the flavonoids with intensive antioxidant activity. With aim to use its benefits on human health, there an increasing trend pay attention content in food or supplements. The simplicity and low cost spectrophotometric determination based formation a morin complex Zn 2+ ion (stoichiometric ratio 1 : 1), at pH 7.98 392 nm, give it advantage over other methods that can be used for q...
