The present research paper aims to analyze the spatial results of the expansion that Brazilian Federal Universities Network have presented between 2003 and 2018, looking forward the impacts and possibilities towards the achievement of urban and regional sustainable development. In economically obsolete or marginalized areas or in those with strong industrial dynamism or agribusiness production, these new campuses also can be understood as vehicles to promote economic security/growth, social equity and assure environmental integrity. Focusing in two empirical studies, based in qualitative and quantitative methodologies, besides the theoretical approach, in cities and regions of Bahia state which received two new universities, we present the economic contribution of the new campuses, the challenges and strategies to socially develop places with high amount of vulnerable population, and the environmental potentialities to build green campus, understood as a nature-based solution, and to implement the Sustainable Developing Goals

The flexed-arm hang (FAH) has been used to assess arm and shoulder girdle strength for 35 years despite little evidence to support its use. The purpose of this study was to determine what muscular fitness component, if any, was related to the FAIl. The traditional overgrip chin-above-bar test and 5 different variations were compared with absolute strength (1 repetition maximum [1RM] lat pull down), relative strength (1RM*[mass.sup.-1]), and muscle endurance (repetitions to failure at 70% of the 1RM). Sixty college-age women volunteered for the study. Relationships were examined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. No significant relationship was found between any of the FAH variations and absolute strength or muscle endurance; however, all FAH variations correlated significantly with relative strength (1RM*[mass.sup.-1]). The strongest relationship was with the under-grip FAH timed to 90[degrees] of elbow extension (r = 0.72). Investigators concluded that the FAH is a test of weight-relative muscular strength and appears unrelated to absolute strength or muscle endurance. KEY WORDS. absolute strength, relative strength, muscle endurance

Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi yang pesat tentu sangat memudahkan generasi muda dalam mengakses suatu informasi dengan cepat dan mudah. Tetapi dalam penggunaan teknologi yang mudah, terdapat pengaruh positif dan negatif. Hal ini tentu sangat penting untuk diketahui agar dapat dengan mudah memilah informasi-informasi yang didapat. Tujuan diadakannya kegiatan pengabdian ini berfokus pada peningkatan kapasitas pemuda melalui literasi digital. Kegiatan terdiri dari beberapa tahapan, yaitu: Tahapan Persiapan, Tahapan Pelaksanaan dan Tahapan Evaluasi. Kegiatan diadakan selama 1 hari dengan melibatkan Tim PkM serta 20 Peserta dari Angkatan Muda Gereja Protestan Maluku (AMGPM) Cabang Pniel Wayame. Kegiatan yang dilakukan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai penggunaan teknologi yang baik bagi para peserta yang mengikuti kegiatan ini. Respons dan antusias peserta dalam mengikuti kegiatan ini sangat berguna dalam menambah pengetahuan bagi para peserta dalam penggunaan teknologi yang baik di era sekarang ini.

In two consecutive papers we study the stability of black lipid films against thermally induced hydrodynamic fluctuations. In the present part we develop a semiphenomenological theory of steric repulsion in these films. The model employs the statistical mechanical formulation of the van der Waals theory of simple liquid–vapor interfaces; it is based on the picture that upon diminishing the film thickness the adjacent interfacial layers start overlapping in the film center raising the degree of orientation of the hydrocarbon segments there. This causes a mutual repulsion of the two film surfaces. The general order parameter profile is found to depend on two parameters which can be determined from film compression measurements.

We investigate the impact of the steric force (modeled in part I) on the linear dynamics of a thin lipid film with plane parallel surfaces at rest. We perform a stability analysis of the hydrodynamic fluctuations of the film, exposed to an external electric field. For long wavelengths, we find the stability of the film against bending to be governed by the total film tension. Stability against periodic thickness fluctuations (squeezing) is determined by the film elasticity. In both cases, sterics counteracts the destabilizing action of the van der Waals and electrostatic forces. We establish a diagram which displays the regimes of film stability as a function of film thickness and electric cross film potential. The film is predicted to be stable against squeezing for film thickness smaller than a critical film thickness (of the order of 60 Å). The latter depends slightly on the applied voltage. Voltages larger than 190 mV trigger bending of low tension films (single interface tension: 0.05 dyn/cm) above and just below the critical squeezing thickness. For these voltages, bending of the film is prevented only by reducing the film thickness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
