Surdez e alteridade: “o encontro entre o tilintar das vozes e o tremular das mãos”
Authors: Silva Rubia Carla Donda da , Martins Sandra Eli Sartoreto de Oliveira
Published: January 2020

Resumo De caráter ensaístico, este texto contempla o diálogo entre os estudos surdos com viés pós-estruturalista e a filosofia da linguagem para abordar a diferença como não coincidência. Nele, a experiência da surdez é tratada como um evento singular, problematizando o aprisionamento dos corpos dos surdos às representações fixas, em nome de um projeto homogeneizador marcado pela reprodução da identidade. Ninguém se afirma, pois a força universalista da padronização linguística é diretamente proporcional a invisibilidade daqueles que ouvem e oralizam. Entretanto, afirmar-se evidencia a insubmissão dos surdos ao projeto monolíngue e monocultural ouvinte e denuncia a tentativa de fixação da identidade ditada pelos cânones da normalidade. As relações opositivas que marcam a identidade surda e a normalidade ouvinte trazem consigo a impossibilidade do diálogo, mantendo invisíveis os clamores das mãos que sinalizam nos territórios habitados por vozes inacessíveis aos ouvidos dos surdos, na contramão da alteridade.
Jogar e brincar de crianças pantaneiras: um estudo em uma “escola das águas”
Authors: Zaim-de-Melo Rogério , Duarte Rosalia Maria , Sambugari Marcia Regina do Nascimento
Published: January 2020

Resumo No Pantanal sul-mato-grossense, no município de Corumbá, há um grupo de unidades escolares denominadas escolas das águas, assim chamadas por estarem situadas em regiões de difícil acesso e sofrerem influência do ciclo das águas. O presente artigo apresenta resultados de uma tese de doutorado que analisou a cultura lúdica das crianças de uma dessas escolas. O estudo foi realizado em contexto escolar, com 33 crianças, e envolveu observações, entrevistas e análise de desenhos sobre brincadeiras e jogos produzidos pelas crianças a pedido do pesquisador. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de conteúdo e categorizados em dois eixos temáticos: tipologia do jogo/brincadeira e mídias na cultura lúdica. Os resultados indicam fortes semelhanças entre a cultura lúdica das crianças pantaneiras e de outras regiões do Brasil e pouca presença da cultura pantaneira nas brincadeiras desenvolvidas pelas crianças na escola pesquisada.
O cuidado como dimensão ontológica na educação infantil: sobre corpos, espaços e movimentos na constituição do ser-no-mundo
Authors: Colla Rodrigo Avila
Published: January 2020

Resumo O texto discute o cuidado como dimensão ontológica e potência constitutiva do humano. Vale-se de matriz teórica que une autores da área da educação infantil coma ontologia de Martin Heidegger. Apresenta o conceito heideggeriano de cura (sorge) – cuidado/curadoria numa dimensão ontológica – e o toma como eixo articulador a partir do qual são pensadas a corporeidade e a espacialidade. O conceito de tato, de Helmholtz, também é desenvolvido a fim de sustentar a noção de contato, trazida à tona por Marta Nörnberg. Ratifica-se o argumento da autora de que as instituições de educação infantil devem ser consideradas como domus, isto é, moradas comuns em que o estatuto de “ser-no-mundo-junto-das-coisas-com-outros” seja favorecido por meio de um comprometimento cuidadoso/curador. Destaca-se, ainda que brevemente, a importância do ato de brincar e a necessidade de um olhar cuidadoso/curador tanto para a brincadeira quanto para os ambientes e corpos. Por fim, argumenta-se que as instituições de educação infantil devem ser ambientes cuidados/cuidadores que propiciem a convivência e o contato, indicando caminhos constitutivos do ser-no-mundo.
Descolonizar o pensamento museológico: reintegrando a matéria para re-pensar os museus
Authors: BRULON BRUNO
Published: January 2020

RESUMO O artigo apresenta uma reflexão com bases teóricas sobre as estruturas coloniais dos museus, considerando historicamente o desenvolvimento dessas instituições no Brasil desde a criação do Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, em 1818. Propõe a descolonização do pensamento museológico por meio do reconhecimento crítico de suas bases no Iluminismo e na reiteração material do sujeito racional como sujeito ontológico herdado desde o cogito cartesiano. Abordando a crítica decolonial, identifica na separação entre sujeito e objeto e entre pensamento e matéria - estruturantes do pensamento filosófico ocidental - o principal traço do colonialismo nos regimes museais e patrimoniais. Entendendo os museus como dispositivos de “materialização”, segundo o conceito de Judith Butler, o artigo propõe a reintegração da matéria ao pensamento na teoria museológica como caminho para re-pensar as práticas museais em regimes pós-coloniais.
Experience of people with advanced cancer faced with the impossibility of cure: a phenomenological analysis
Authors: Prado Eleandro do , Sales Catarina Aparecida , Girardon-Perlini Nara Marilene Oliveira , Matsuda Laura Misue , Benedetti Gabriella Michel dos Santos , Marcon Sonia Silva
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experience of people with advanced-stage cancer given the impossibility of curing the disease. Method: A research based on the Heideggerian phenomenology conducted with 11 people with advanced-stage cancer. Data was collected between November 2015 and March 2016 through an open interview. Results: From the understanding of the reports, three themes emerged: Finding the inevitable possibility of death; Finding oneself through anguish and suffering; Seeking to transcend the existential anguish given the possibility of death. Conclusion and implications for practice: Experiencing incurability or re-experiencing cancer gives patients feelings of apprehension, fear, and frustration. However, suffering causes them to reflect on life and to set out on a new path, founded, above all, on spirituality. The need to accept the “Being” in its human totality is evident, considering its doubts and apprehensions, transcending its physical needs and entering into its biopsychosocial world.
Sensitivity and specificity of the Brazilian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment – Basic (MoCA-B) in chronic kidney disease
Authors: Amatneeks Thaís Malucelli , Hamdan Amer Cavalheiro
Published: January 2020

Abstract Introduction Cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. As a complex pathology, at all stages of CKD patients need to have a good understanding of the need for drug and nutritional adherence. Cognitive screening is the starting point for detection of cognitive impairments. Objective To determine the specificity and sensitivity of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment – Basic (MoCA-B) for identification of cognitive impairment in the CKD population. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with 163 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and MoCA-B were administered. Results The MoCA-B has reliable internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74). A cutoff point of ≤ 21 points provides the best sensitivity and specificity for detection of cognitive impairment. The education variable had less impact on the total MoCA-B score than on the total MMSE score. Conclusions The MoCA-B is a suitable screening instrument for evaluating the global cognition of hemodialysis patients. The results can help health professionals to conduct evaluations and plan clinical management.

Published: January 2020

Abstract Introduction Music performance anxiety (MPA) is characterized by long-lasting, high intensity apprehension associated with performing music in public. At extreme levels, MPA can impair the career and quality of life. Our goal is to describe the clinical profile, perceived causes and coping strategies associated with MPA. Methods In this cross-sectional study, several self-assessment instruments were administered to a sample of 214 Brazilian musicians (68% male, 53.3% classical/46.7% popular musicians). Data were analyzed using descriptive and parametric statistics, based on the variables of musical training and level of MPA. Results Percentages of indicators of pathology were high (40% high MPA levels, 37% social anxiety, 12.5% depression, 13.5% alcohol abuse), and musicians with high MPA levels were the most affected. A wide variety of situations were associated with MPA, especially those related to the individual (pressure from self/concern about audience). Emotion-focused coping and internal resources were prominent among the resources used for coping with MPA (breathing, increased practice, familiarization with performance venue), although they were not always effective. It was relatively uncommon for musicians to seek specialized resources and treatments. Conclusions The results demonstrate the vulnerability of the targeted professional groups and the need for preventive strategies and behavioral, environmental, educational, and pharmacological interventions to change this scenario.
Parindo no paraíso: parto humanizado, ocitocina e a produção corporal de uma nova maternidade
Authors: Russo Jane A. , Nucci Marina Fisher
Published: January 2020

O Brasil é o campeão mundial no número de cesáreas, em especial no setor privado de saúde. Este número pode chegar a mais de 80% entre gestantes das classes média e alta em algumas regiões do país. Contrapondo-se a isso, o movimento do parto humanizado vem ganhando força, tendo como objetivos a denúncia da violência obstétrica e o retorno da a forma natural de parturição e cuidado com o bebê. Neste artigo, pretendemos discutir o modo como o ideário desse movimento implica na constituição de um novo sentido à maternidade a partir de uma concepção de natureza corporal e o papel da ocitocina nesse processo.
Saúde, lazer e envelhecimento: uma análise sobre a brincadeira de dança de roda das Meninas de Sinhá
Authors: Borges Raquel de Magalhães , Brito Cristiane Miryam Drumond de , Monteiro Claudia Franco
Published: January 2020

O grupo artístico Meninas de Sinhá teve como princípio um encontro de mulheres idosas em situação de vulnerabilidade que utilizam a brincadeira da dança de roda como uma potência curativa, capaz de torná-las mais saudáveis. Investigamos a atribuição de sentidos pelo grupo, no campo da saúde e do lazer, ao longo de sua formação estabelecida nos espaços/tempos de brincar de roda. Analisamos os estados corporais revelados nos depoimentos das mulheres que constam em documentos produzidos sobre o grupo e nas suas músicas autorais. Explicitamos esses estados na passagem da condição de adoecimento para a vida de artistas. Percebemos que, como prática comunitária, a brincadeira de roda constituiu-se como uma necessidade social específica para fruição da experiência do lazer, para mobilizar uma rede de encontros e cuidados (na troca e no autocuidado) e para o empoderamento dessas idosas.
La investigación formativa en la universidad: sentidos asignados por el profesorado de una Facultad de Educación
Authors: Turpo-Gebera Osbaldo , Quispe Pedro Mango , Paz Luis Cuadros , Gonzales-Miñán Milagros
Published: January 2020

Resumen En el marco de la investigación formativa se suscita una serie de construcciones subjetivas sobre su comprensión y trascendencia. Dicha situación incita a determinar los sentidos asignados a su implementación pedagógica en la formación del profesorado. En esa intención, se ha entrevistado a siete docentes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa (Perú), a fin de reconocer los sentidos establecidos en su concepción, su distinción de la investigación científica, las características requeridas y las expectativas suscitadas. Los resultados evidencian que los docentes expresan una diversidad de sentidos formativos, más próximos a la formación de investigadores que como dispositivo o estrategia de enseñanza; asimismo, distinguen sutilmente la investigación formativa de la investigación científica en sentido estricto, que induce a confusiones entre ellas; de otro lado, enfatizan en el desarrollo de capacidades cognitivas ligadas a la investigación, y, finalmente, sitúan en el proceso formativo de la investigación, diversas expectativas de actuación no siempre concretadas en la enseñanza. La aproximación a los sentidos asignados a la investigación formativa evidenció diferenciaciones, confusiones, pero también coincidencias sobre el carácter formativo de la investigación, que conlleva a pensar en estrategias para un mejor afrontamiento de los desafíos docentes y socioprofesionales.
Landfill site selection in India using analytic hierarchy and geographic information
Authors: Agrawal Ruchin , Srivastava Amitabh Kumar , Nigam Anjani Kumar
Published: January 2020

Landfills are used worldwide for disposing of urban wastes that cannot be economically recycled or incinerated. However, due to possible contamination and risk, the selection of landfill sites is a complex process. Various multi-criteria decision-support systems have been reported in the literature for such complex decision making. This paper reports on how the analytic hierarchy process and multi-criteria techniques were used to support a landfill siting decision in India. The input parameters were extracted from a geographic information system. By using these techniques, the ranking of eight candidate landfill sites for Sultanpur city was performed and landfill suitability indices for all sites were calculated to facilitate the decision.

Proposta de articulação intermunicipal para monitoramento das ações previstas no Plano Hidroambiental da bacia do rio Capibaribe-PE
Authors: Moura Micaella Raíssa Falcão de , Falcão Symone Maria Pancracio , Montenegro Suzana Maria Gico Lima
Published: January 2020

A articulação entre municípios que integram a unidade de planejamento da bacia hidrográfica é de suma importância para uma gestão hídrica participativa e inclusiva. Em Pernambuco, o Plano Hidroambiental da bacia do rio Capibaribe é vanguardista no Estado, à medida que traça diagnósticos e delimita planos de investimentos para alcance da sua sustentabilidade, prevendo a participação de múltiplos atores, entre os quais encontram-se as prefeituras. Nesse contexto, este artigo objetivou desenhar uma proposta de articulação intermunicipal para otimizar o monitoramento das ações previstas no Plano Hidroambiental do Capibaribe. Para tal, foram utilizados os métodos de análise documental e observação participante, possibilitando ainda a identificação do Eixo que demanda maior atuação das prefeituras, o qual foi utilizado como base para concepção da proposta. Os resultados mostraram que a ausência de articulação contribui para um monitoramento menos eficaz, que pode ser aperfeiçoado por meio de um sistema integrador que permita também a troca de experiências entre os gestores no âmbito da bacia.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar indicadores de qualidade de vida dos municípios pertencentes ao estado de Minas Gerais (Brasil), a partir de dados divulgados pelo Índice Mineiro de Responsabilidade Social (IMRS), importante instrumento de gestão pública do governo estadual que é sistematizado anualmente pela Fundação João Pinheiro. A análise da qualidade de vida aqui evidenciada está relacionada a busca por respostas a problemática envolvendo o processo de urbanização brasileiro no contexto da urbanização contemporânea, pautado, sobretudo, nas diferenças de condições socioeconômicas entre os diferentes estratos da sociedade e que por consequência envolvem também diferentes níveis de qualidade de vida da população. Para tal análise, utilizou-se de indicadores de quadro dimensões de análise: Saúde, Educação, Segurança Pública e Saneamento-Habitação-meio ambiente, ambos do ano de 2016, que se trata da divulgação mais recente do IMRS. As informações dos 853 municípios de Minas Gerais foram coletados, tabulados utilizando o Excel 2010, importados para o software ArcGIS 10.2, espacializados através da cartografia e exportados em forma de cartogramas com o intuito de auxiliar na análise espacial. A classificação dos dados nas categorias “baixo, médio e alto” seguiu a mesma utilizada pela Fundação João, que é a instituição responsável pela divulgação dos dados. Os resultados apresentados propiciaram o (re)conhecimento do panorama da situação de aspectos da qualidade de vida em nível estadual e evidenciaram a importância do IMRS como instrumento que possibilita a melhoria da gestão pública e a implementação de políticas públicas voltadas a melhoria da qualidade de vida da população.

Uso do espaço público e das áreas verdes da Avenida Paulista sob o olhar das Cidades Sustentáveis e Biofílicas - Estudo de Casos: Programa Paulista Aberta e Parque Trianon
Authors: Moraes Dulce Ferreira de
Published: January 2020

O presente artigo traz reflexões sobre a relevância de iniciativas, promovidas pelo governo e pela sociedade civil, voltadas a estimular o contato com a natureza e a preservação de áreas verdes no meio urbano. A pesquisa analisa a contribuição dos espaços livres de uso público no cumprimento de critérios de planejamento urbano ecológico e sustentável e avalia duas tipologias desses espaços na Avenida Paulista: a via (como espaço de lazer aos domingos) e o parque urbano Tenente Siqueira Campos/Trianon (a maior área verde localizada na avenida). O território delimitado para estudo é a Avenida Paulista, uma centralidade urbana importante e simbólica da cidade de São Paulo, por seu contexto cultural, histórico, turístico, social e econômico. A base teórica subjacente à análise é a interface conceitual das abordagens urbanísticas: Cidades Sustentáveis, Cidades Biofílicas e Cidades para Pessoas. A pesquisa revela que a presença de vegetação na paisagem urbana e o enfoque das atividades e eventos desenvolvidos em espaços públicos afeta o nível de envolvimento da sociedade com as áreas verdes urbanas e a preservação ambiental. Nesse sentido, verifica-se que os aspectos biofílicos (afiliação do homem com a natureza) em espaços públicos constituem fatores para o alcance da sustentabilidade urbana que merecem ser observados nas políticas públicas e no planejamento urbano das cidades que almejam ser sustentáveis.

Can Beauty Advertisements Empower Women? A Critical Discourse Analysis of the SK-II’s “Change Destiny” Campaign
Authors: Xu Huimin , Tan Yunying
Published: January 2020

This study examines the advertising campaign of a beauty product SK-II, “Change Destiny” through the lens of critical discourse analysis. By unpacking the verbal language and visuals in the three advertisements and a video advertisement, this article aims to investigate how the beauty advertiser SK-II constructs the ideal images of women through discursive strategies in ads and uncover the possible ideologies underlying the advertising discourse. Adopting Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (1990 ,1996) framework of ‘reading images’ and systemic functional grammar (Butt, 2012; Halliday, 1994) to analyze the texts and visuals in the ads, this study has found that the beauty brand SK-II has utilized various strategies to engage the audiences and market its products, such as problematizing the aging of women, providing personalized solutions to the problem of aging, constructing certain feminist discourses for women, and drawing itself close to the younger generation through women empowerment. The findings show that although the beauty brand claims to empower women through advocating change of destiny for women in its ads, gender ideology remains to be dominant and continues to perpetrate women. It is concluded that these new changes in the ads are simply playful discursive strategies that employed by advertisers to legitimate the new capitalism and commercialism and generate more sales.

Authors: Ou Jiaxing , Hua Yan
Published: January 2020

Against the backdrop of the Belt and Road Initiative, the going-out policy of Chinese culture is ensured by a strong language tool. Now the going-out of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is leading an irreversible trend for TCM is widely expanded as the significant part of traditional Chinese culture. Then, the precise translation of TCM is expected to be a guarantee for its internationalization. To date, mistranslation, omission and inaccuracy have extremely interfered with the cultural exchanges with other countries, affecting the quality of translations. From the aspect of the translations of Five Xing Theory of TCM and its core terminologies, the paper purports to compare WHO International Standard Terminologies on Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region (IST) and International Standard Chinese-English Basic Nomenclature of Chinese Medicine (ISN). And then it can be concluded that when translating Five Xing Theory of TCM and its core terminologies, literal translation and transliteration should be mainly adopted and annotation is supposed to be added in proper situation so as to achieve accurate translation and better the promotion of transmission of TCM.

ON WICK-ROTATIONS AND QUATERNIONS: The Game of Symmetry between Space and Time (SOBRE ROTAÇÕES DE WICK E QUATERNIONS: O Jogo da Simetria entre Espaço e Tempo)
Authors: Serpa Nilo
Published: January 2020

Abstract: Despite so many advances, modern physics remains entangled in a number of open questions, some of which are responsible for considerable obstacles in the last 30-40 years. I belong to the group of those who consider that the biggest problem comes from instrumental and conceptual limitations. Our ways of understanding the universe are still extremely limited by the heritage of classical-positivist thinking. Moreover, it is not simple to break the constraints of a brain whose functional design has developed over millions of years in three-dimensional interactive evolution basically conditioned by the imperatives of survival. This natural resistance to a broad theoretical reconstruction leads us to advance very slowly through the innermost essence of the cosmos, having evident reexes on our motivations and expectations. Present essay examines a preliminary model of spacetime structure in an attempt to oer new conceptual support for the study of the quantum entanglement. Wick-rotations are applied on a quaternionic basis to establish the theoretical foundations of the proposed spacetime symmetries.

Key words: Wick-rotation, quaternion, Clifford algebra, quantum entanglement, spacetime symmetries.

===========================================================================

Resumo: Apesar de tantos avanços, a física moderna permanece enredada em várias questões abertas, algumas das quais responsáveis por obstáculos consideráveis nos últimos 30-40 anos. Eu pertenço ao grupo daqueles que consideram que o maior problema vem das limitações instrumentais e conceituais. Nossos modos de entender o universo ainda são extremamente restringidos pela herança do pensamento positivista clássico. Além disso, não é simples quebrar as restrições de um cérebro cujo design funcional se desenvolveu ao longo de milhões de anos de evolução interativa tridimensional, basicamente condicionada pelos ditames da sobrevivência. Essa resistência natural a uma ampla reconstrução teórica nos leva a avançar muito lentamente através da essência mais íntima do cosmos, tendo reexos evidentes em nossas motivações e expectativas. O presente ensaio examina um modelo preliminar de estrutura de espaço-tempo numa tentativa de oferecer novos subsídios conceituais para o estudo do emaranhamento quântico. Rotações de Wick são aplicadas a uma base quaterniônica para estabelecer os fundamentos teóricos da simetria proposta entre espaço e tempo.

Counseling Adolescents Diagnosed With Conduct Disorder: Application of Emotion-Focused Therapy for Individuals
Authors: Adams Charmayne R. , Gibbons Melinda M.
Published: January 2020

Adolescents diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD) experience difficulty regulating their emotions and engaging in effective social relationships and can potentially cause significant harm to individuals and property in their communities. The severe symptom cluster associated with CD impacts multiple aspects of the youth’s life, including home, school, and community relationships. Due to the severity, it may be necessary to integrate an individual emotion-focused therapeutic intervention as one aspect of a multifaceted treatment approach. This paper proposes emotion-focused therapy for individuals as an intervention to meet the needs of adolescents diagnosed with CD in residential treatment and describes a hypothetical case illustration to demonstrate its application.
Complicated Grief in Rural Appalachia: Using Feminist Theory to Reconcile Grief
Authors: Thacker Nancy E. , Gibbons Melinda M.
Published: January 2020

Rural Appalachians make up a unique cultural group that shares common values of egalitarianism, familism, religiosity, and neighborliness. These values impact cultural norms and expectations for grieving after experiencing loss. Complicated grief, an enduring and impairing grief response to the loss of a loved one, can develop when individuals are unable to reconcile grief within cultural expectations and norms of grieving. Thus, rural Appalachians are at risk for developing complicated grief when their experiences conflict with common cultural values. A systemically focused theoretical framework, such as feminist therapy, can offer a culturally appropriate approach to address the etiology and manifestation of complicated grief with this group. The authors review complicated grief and rural Appalachian culture, provide a brief description of feminist therapy, and demonstrate the use of feminist therapy with rural Appalachians through a case illustration.

Published: January 2020

Neuroscience-informed cognitive-behavior therapy (nCBT) is an emerging approach that is being refined in preparation for efficacy trials. This feasibility study defined the essential components of the nCBT model and evaluated whether expert raters could determine if trained clinicians adhered to or deviated from the model. The study sample featured 11 licensed mental health professionals who participated in a simulated client session 8 weeks after the conclusion of a 3-day training. Sessions were recorded and reviewed by the research team, who evaluated trainee videos from 11 simulated client sessions. Interrater consistency among four raters ranged from κ = .64 to κ= .84. Considerations for model development, modifications to the fidelity scale, and recommendations for counseling researchers and practitioners regarding treatment fidelity are discussed.
Discussion on the characterisation of hydrogen embrittlement based on eddy current signals
Authors: Zhou Haiting , Ye Dongdong , Chen Jianjun , Wang Qiang , Fan Xinwei
Published: January 2020

A non-destructive testing (NDT) method for evaluating mechanical performance has been studied based on the analysis of eddy current signals. Low-alloy steel samples were tested under conditions of tension with the aim of quantifying hydrogen embrittlement (HE). The mechanical responses
of samples were investigated after electrochemical hydrogen charging. Eddy current signals were gathered to evaluate the hydrogen embrittlement state using a differential probe. Numerical analysis of hydrogen concentration distribution in material was performed to investigate the response
mechanism of the signal. The effect that hydrogen has on the mechanical performance of low-alloy steel has been discussed. The experimental results show that the eddy current signal has a good correlation with the hydrogen-induced plasticity loss index.
CONCILIATING AGREEMENT AS A NEW BASIS FOR EXEMPTION FROM CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CLOSURE OF CRIMINAL CASES OF MINORS
Authors: Shestakova L. A.
Published: January 2020

The author of the article came to the conclusion that there are two competing models of criminal procedure policy: the model of due process and the model of crime control. Restorative justice was supported in the second half of the 20th century. The restorative approach to justice was a natural result of the trends in the criminal process humanization, private and public interest, acceleration and simplification of criminal proceedings. The author sees the consistent consolidation of the basic ideas of restorative justice in international acts. The introduction of restorative technologies in the criminal proceedings of many foreign countries began with changes in juvenile justice. The author of the article formulates proposals for restoring the institution of exemption from criminal liability of minors and for applying mediation in terminating a criminal case in connection with the reconciliation of the parties (Article 25 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).
SUBJECT MATTER AND LIMITS OF PROOF AT THE STAGE OF APPOINTMENT OF THE COURT SESSION
Authors: Ryabinina T. K.
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of evidentiary activity of the court at the stage of appointment of the court session. The study of different points of view of scientists and practitioners led the author to the conclusion that, despite the limitation of the powers of the court related to the verification of the materials of the criminal case received by the court, the reduction of issues to be clarified when appointing a court session, the nature and content of the courts activities for the collection, verification and evaluation of evidence has not changed. The only circumstance that is not included in the scope of the verification actions of the judge is the question of the guilt of the accused in the commission of the crime, which in no way indicates a limitation of the control powers of the court at this stage. Therefore, the powers of the judge at this stage of the process are limited to establishing the sufficiency of evidence to resolve the main issue at the trial stage the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Particular attention is paid to the evaluation of evidence, which differs from similar activities of the court at the trial stage.
Collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans in aortic aneurysms.
Authors: Sobolewski K , Wolańska M , Bańkowski E , Gacko M , Głowiński S
Published: January 2020

The walls of human abdominal aortas and atherosclerosis-induced aneurysms contain similar amounts of collagen. The quantitative ratio between collagens of various types of this protein does not differ significantly either, whereas solubility of the collagen in aneurysmal wall and its susceptibility to the action of EDTA are distinctly decreased. In contrast with collagen, the amount of elastin in aneurysms is significantly lower. Total amount of glycosaminoglycans slightly decreased as compared with that of normal tissue, but the ratio of particular compounds varies. The percentage of chondroitin sulphate is increased and that of heparan sulphate significantly decreased. The significance of these changes in pathogenesis of aneurysms is discussed.
Studies on the mechanism of mutagenicity and genotoxicity induced by dihydralazine.
Authors: Chłopkiewicz B , Ejchart A , Marczewska J
Published: January 2020

Dihydralazine was found to be mutagenic towards S. typhimurium TA1537, TA97, TA1538 and TA98 and genotoxic towards E. coli PQ37. Using the nitro blue tetrazolium reduction method we have found that dihydralazine can generate active oxygen species. The possible role of active oxygen species in mutagenicity (Ames test) and genotoxicity (SOS Chromotest) of dihydralazine was studied by testing the influence of the different active oxygen species scavengers on these two processes. Of the active oxygen scavengers tested, only superoxide dismutase suppressed partially the mutagenic and genotoxic activity of dihydralazine. This result seems to indicate that superoxide anion play a role in these two biological events.
Incorporation of stilbazolium merocyanines into human leukocytes measured by flow cytometry.
Authors: Wiktorowicz K , Niedbalska M , Planner A , Frackowiak D
Published: January 2020

Human peripheral blood leukocytes were incubated with thirteen various merocyanines of the stilbazolium betaine type and the fluorescence intensities of the cells were measured by flow cytometry. The fluorescence intensity of lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes depended on the time and temperature of incubation with the dyes. An increase in the incubation temperature enhanced the fluorescence intensity whereas washing of the cells after incubation had little influence on the observed emission. This points to incorporation of the dye molecules into the cell membrane. From the measured fluorescence intensities corrected for relative fluorescence yields, the relative efficiencies of incorporation into the cells of the various merocyanines tested were evaluated. The efficiency was dependent on the type of the cells and the lenght and side groups of the merocyanine molecules studied.
Ergosterol biosynthesis inhibition: a target for antifungal agents.
Authors: Barrett-Bee K , Dixon G
Published: January 2020

The isoprenoid sterols play a crucial role in the viability of all fungi; those unable to synthesise ergosterol because of inhibition, growth conditions or mutation must take it up from the environment. A range of compound types have been discovered which interfere with the biosynthetic pathway from acetate to ergosterol and these compounds have antifungal actions. Inhibition of several of the steps has yielded agents which have been used with great success as medical and agrochemical agents. The most important biosynthetic steps that have been exploited are inhibition of squalene epoxidase, (the allylamines and tolnaftate) C14 demethylation (the azoles), delta 7,8 isomerase and delta 14 reductase which are inhibited by the morpholines. Recent research has shown that inhibition of C24 methyltransferase and C4 demethylation also yield antifungal agents. Combination studies demonstrate that synergy between agents of different types can be measured. Fungicidal effects were observed when a combination of two fungistatic agents was used.

The yeast cell wall as a good antifungal target is discussed in general. More specifically the reaction, catalyzed by Dol-P-Man: protein O-D-mannosyltransferase is proposed as a new potential target. Six genes responsible for this endoplasmic reticulum-localized reaction have been cloned and characterized so far. Triple disruptions of these genes are either lethal or the corresponding cells have to be osmotically stabilized to survive. No inhibitors of this reaction are as yet known.
Das mônadas de Leibniz à educação estética de Schiller
Authors: Silveira Roberison Wittgenstein Dias
Published: January 2020

Partindo da proposta ontológica de Leibniz, a ideia de perfeição dá origem à discussão estética germânica. O grande questionamento é se o gosto está ligado a uma concepção de perfeição inerente à realidade ou se é o resultado da dinâmica dos sentidos, responsáveis pelas sensações. Reformulando a concepção estética moderna, Kant não concebe nenhuma validade de coisa-em-si para o gosto, ele não está nas coisas nelas mesmas, mas antes na maneira de operar da faculdade de julgar reflexiva. Reconhecendo esta nova perspectiva, e encontrando nela lacunas no que diz respeito à aproximação entre razão e sensibilidade, Schiller propõe uma nova criação da estética como modelo de formação do homem.

No espaço midiático, o culto à aparência corporal propaga a imagem de um corpo feminino bonito, jovem e magro. Com relação à mulher que vive no campo, a imagem difundida é de uma mulher alheia aos cuidados com a beleza, “desleixada”. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar a satisfação com a imagem corporal e a influência dos meios de comunicação em mulheres em um assentamento rural de Jataí-Go. Foi aplicado o Body Shape Questionnaire a 25 mulheres e realizada entrevista com oito mulheres. Os resultados indicam que maioria das participantes está satisfeita com a sua imagem corporal, embora afirmem que realizariam algum procedimento cirúrgico para fins estéticos.

Содержание хлорофилла в биомассе морских микроводорослей при световом лимитировании (модель)
Authors: Тренкеншу Р. П. , Новикова Т. М.
Published: January 2020

Представлена математическая модель светозависимого содержания хлорофилла в биомассе морских микроводорослей. Основой модели служит представление о биомассе как сумме резервных и структурных макромолекулярных форм органического вещества клеток. При этом хлорофилл относится к структурным формам биомассы. Используя такие представления, можно применять известные уравнения для светозависимого содержания структурных форм в биомассе. Предложенное уравнение хорошо описывает результаты, полученные в экспериментах с хлорофиллостатной культурой Tetraselmis viridis.
A Cost-Effective Evaluation of Pods Diversion Effectiveness using Fiber Optics DAS and DTS

Published: January 2020

Diversion has been widely promoted as a technology that can both, lower the cost and increase the efficiency of plug-and-perforating completions (PnP). There are many diversion materials and techniques available today including; balls, chemicals, etc. A new product, informally referred as "pods" consisting of knotted degradable fibers delivered in a capsule, has gained significant interest within the industry.

We tested this new diversion material, "pods", in four stages in one of our wells instrumented with a fiber optic cable deployed behind casing. The FO results clearly showed that although perforations were plugged following "pods" deployment, the diagnostics also revealed that the outcome was not the desired one, which is to divert a portion of the treatment to understimulated clusters. In all the stages tested, the material did not re-open screened-out clusters. Furthermore, the frac placement distribution effectiveness was worse after the deployment of the diverter material.

All the tested stages showed the expected treatment pressure increase at the surface corresponding to the "pods" blocking some of the perforations. It is important to highlight that in the absence of downhole FO technology all these tests would have been categorized as successful. However, when the number of "pods" was increased to try to improve their performance, we ended up blocking so many perforations that the stimulation could not continue due to pressure limitations. This integrated approach toward the testing of this new technology demonstrated that there was a clear downside risk in utilizing this diversion technology in many wells without a full understanding of how this diverter material was interacting downhole with the clusters and perforations. The paper highlights the pitfalls and risks of relying on a single diagnostic tool (surface treatment pressure) to evaluate emerging technologies.

Fundamentally, there are two ways to empirically test new completion designs and stimulation technologies: Production-only-Pilots (PoP) and Integrated-Frac-Diagnostics-Pilots (IFDP). While better PnP efficiency is not the only intended use for "pods", the IFDP approach and FO monitoring used in this test has enabled a rapid and cost-effective testing of this technology application at a fraction of the cost and time of a PoP test.
