Comparison of Inverted ILM-Stuffing Technique and ILM Peeling Alone for Optic Disc Pit-Associated Maculopathy: Long-Term Results
Authors: Ravani Raghav , Kumar Atul , Karthikeya R. , Kumar Pradeep , Gupta Yogita , Mutha Vinit , Singh Shilky
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate long-term outcomes of inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) stuffing into the optic disc pit for optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) compared with vitrectomy with ILM peeling alone.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Twelve eyes of 12 patients who underwent vitrectomy for ODP-M and followed up more than 12 months were included. We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of inverted ILM flap stuffing into ODP (group 1, n = 6) with ILM peeling alone (group 2, n = 6).

RESULTS:

At 12 months, both groups showed significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness. On comparison, significantly faster resolution of maculoschisis was found in group 1 compared with group 2 (
P
= .012).

CONCLUSIONS:

Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with ILM peeling and PPV with inverted ILM stuffing are effective treatment modalities for ODP-M, with inverted ILM stuffing showing faster resolution of maculoschisis.

Published: December 2018

Mediterranean trawl fisheries are characterized by a critical combination of high fishing effort and low size at first capture for most commercial species. In this study we tested the use of sorting grids installed on bottom trawl nets to minimize the catch of undersized deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris, DPS) and European hake (Merluccius merluccius, HKE). The catch of a traditional trawl net was compared with that obtained with the same net equipped with ad hoc designed juveniles and trash excluder devices (JTEDs) during an experimental survey. Three different JTEDs were tested: the first (G1-SM40) was built with a net of 40-mm square mesh; the second (G2-ST20) and third (G3-ST25) with vertical steel bars spaced 20 and 25 mm, respectively. The probability of retaining DPS and HKE by length class in trawl nets with and without JTED was analysed using generalized additive mixed models. With G1-SM40, the reduction of undersized individuals in the cod-end was about 60% and 44% for DPS and HKE, respectively. With G2-ST20, a 34% catch decrease of HKE individuals smaller than 20 cm total length was observed. A loss of marketable fractions of DPS was recorded with G1-SM40 (–25%) and G2-ST20 (30%). Finally, JTD G3-ST25 was efficient at reducing the catch of undersized specimens of DPS and HKE, but showed a higher loss of marketable fractions than the other JTEDs. Although further fishing trials would be required to maximize the sorting efficiency of the grids, the results obtained clearly indicated that grids can substantially reduce unwanted catches of undersized DPS and HKE in Mediterranean bottom trawl fisheries.
Using an Intelligent Tutoring System to Support Learners’ WMC in e-learning: Application in Mathematics Learning
Authors: El Mamoun Bouchra , Erradi Mohamed , El Mhouti Abderrahim
Published: December 2018

Learning is a complex process linked to a number of individual, cognitive and affective characteristics of the learner. In this context, the learner’s Working Memory (WM) concept has also been identified as a preacher of learning performance. In the learning process, solving a problem is an essential part of the learner's WM. Its capacity and performance are predictive factors of academic success. The success of the given problem depends on a good selection, processing and transformation of this information. This mental work within the WM requires a good WM Capacity (WMC). The improvement of the WMC needs some strategies which focus on the learning content and the use of educational technologies in the learning process.

Encouraged by the results of previous research, this work aims to harness the potential of educational technologies to enhance the learners' WM ability in learning mathematics in an e-learning environment. In order to help learners with low WMC in e-learning, this paper proposes to set up an e-learning platform integrating an Intelligent Tutorial System (ITS). The purpose of this ITS is to manage the limited ability of the learner's WM by adopting strategies that improve the transition of mathematical knowledge from short-term memory to long-term memory. The proposed ITS generates e-learning content that will serve to improve the learner's WMC, and subsequently improve his learning performance.
Des monuments merveilleux ou des hommes émerveillés ?
Authors: Soto Omayra Herrero
Published: December 2018

Dans cet article, je propose une nouvelle réflexion sur la terminologie utilisée pour nommer les merveilles du monde dans les sources arabes, notamment lorsqu’on parle des merveilles du monde comme de réalités remarquables ayant été catégorisées sur la base de critères variés. Par ailleurs, je mets en évidence les insuffisances du débat sur cette terminologie tel qu’il a été proposé jusqu’à présent (par exemple, la distinction traditionnelle entre ʿaǧīb et ġarīb, « merveille ordinaire » et « merveille extraordinaire »), lorsqu’on parle des constructions humaines qui sont pourtant considérées comme merveilleuses au même niveau que celles dont l’origine est attribuée à la Divinité, telles que les merveilles naturelles. Enfin, j’analyse les stratégies employées par les auteurs afin de ranger ces constructions dans la catégorie des « merveilles », c’est-à-dire comme des créations aux caractéristiques surprenantes et sortant de l’ordinaire.

Published: December 2018

La corrélation entre sources écrites et mobiliers archéologiques est une méthode qui s’avère pertinente pour mesurer les flux commerciaux en Méditerranée occidentale durant le haut Moyen Âge. La contribution qui suit s’appuie sur une approche archéométrique pluridisciplinaire (pétrographie, géochimie, chimie organique) des céramiques, et permet de cerner productions et échanges. Grâce aux études typologiques et archéométriques des mobiliers archéologiques il est possible, à la lumière d’une nouvelle lecture des textes judéo-arabes, d’ébaucher des circuits commerciaux pour le trafic des conteneurs et vaisselles polychromes provenant du domaine islamique et circulant entre Sicile, Ifrīqiya, Égypte et Provence.
الطائفية والهوية: صراعات المسيحية الشرقية في مصر في العصر العثماني
Authors: جرجس مجدي
Published: December 2018

Eastern Christianity has been starkly influenced by the Ottoman rule. With the dominant power of the Greek Patriarch over the Chalcedonian communities in the Arab world, these communities have been reconstructed, and many struggles and conflicts erupted.This paper tackles an aspect of these struggles among Christian communities in Egypt during the 17th century, as represented in a conflict between the monks of Saint Catherine Monastery in Sinai and the Melkite patriarch of Egypt. It examines how the local powers intervened in this conflict, and how the whole narrative has been formulated in legal and sharia texts.
Les manuscrits des drames : écrire et dessiner pour la scène
Authors: Brière Chantal
Published: December 2018

Cette étude a pour objet de mettre en perspective les manuscrits illustrés des drames de Victor Hugo créés entre 1832 (Le roi s’amuse) et 1843 (Les Burgraves), période de production théâtrale la plus intense de sa vie. Si la lecture diachronique de ces dessins à l’encre, plans de scènes et modèles de décor placés en vis-à-vis de certaines didascalies initiales, confirme la maîtrise graphique croissante de Hugo, elle démontre surtout son désir de contrôler toutes les étapes de la création théâtrale, de l’écriture à la mise en scène. Plus encore, elle témoigne de la prévalence qu’il accorde à cet espace théâtral codifié qui se revendique comme tel, apte à réunir contingences matérielles et dimension poétique, jalonné de signes qui organisent le jeu dramatique. Inspirés par des souvenirs d’enfance ou de voyage, les dessins des drames inspireront à leur tour, sous le signe de la décoration, les créations ultérieures de Hauteville House.
« Océan » : texte, poésie, poème (février 1854)
Authors: Laforgue Pierre
Published: December 2018

Les cinq poèmes de Victor Hugo souvent réunis sous l’appellation de « nébuleuse “Océan” », bien qu’ils aient été séparés dans des publications tardives, possèdent plusieurs caractéristiques communes : une même période de rédaction bien circonscrite (février 1854), une forte unité thématique, et une forme strophique très contraignante. Leur genèse est indissociable de celle, strictement contemporaine, d’autres poèmes qui entreront dans La Fin de Satan, encore à l’état d’ébauche, mais aussi dans Les Contemplations et la première série de La Légende des siècles. On peut alors observer dans cet océan créatif, sans équivalent dans la vie de Victor Hugo, que c’est autour du poème de Satan que se construit le reste, « nébuleuse “Océan” » comprise. Prévue dès l’origine en poèmes distincts, cette dernière ne se comprend que dans son rapport avec lui, non comme un projet à part, mais plutôt comme une tentative provisoire, et compensatoire, de donner une forme à ce qui n’en avait pas encore.
Comment j’ai écrit un de mes livres : La double genèse de Si par une nuit d’hiver un voyageur d’Italo Calvino
Authors: Berkman Natalie
Published: December 2018

Les années parisiennes d’Italo Calvino sont marquées non seulement par une amitié avec Raymond Queneau et ses camarades de l’OuLiPo (l’Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle) dont Calvino devint membre officiel en 1973, mais aussi de nombreuses théories littéraires qui étaient à la mode à l’époque, notamment la sémiotique d’Algirdas Greimas. Après la publication de son roman Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore en 1979, Calvino publie deux fois le même essai, Comment j’ai écrit un de mes livres, dans lequel il raconte la genèse de l’œuvre et la manière « oulipo-greimassienne » dont il l’avait fabriquée. Cependant, les brouillons du livre ne semblent pas en rapport avec l’article. Cette histoire des multiples genèses de Si par une nuit d’hiver un voyageur éclaircira non seulement les méthodes oulipiennes et théoriques de l’auteur italien, mais également l’importance des années parisiennes de Calvino dans la génétique de cette œuvre.
The Limits to Dependent Growth in East-Central Europe
Authors: Myant Martin
Published: December 2018

Between 1990 and 2017 the four central eastern European countries (CEECs), Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia narrowed the gap in economic levels with the EU average. The key driver in most of this period was inward foreign direct investment (FDI) by multinational companies (MNCs), which brought success for export-oriented manufacturing activities. This justifies a characterisation of the resulting variety of capitalism as “dependent”, following theories of dependent development used for Latin America. However, this development brought rapid growth only for a time, still leaving a substantial lag relative to western Europe. The potential for further growth is investigated with an analysis of the strategies pursued in CEECs by those MNCs, using data on the products they export. The fact of lower wages gives them good reasons for not transferring their most advanced products and processes to CEECs and the transfer of less advanced activities in turn helps keep wage levels below those of western Europe. The implication is that CEECs may not catch up with western Europe without a change in their growth model.
« Capitalismes dépendants » d’Europe centrale et orientale : pièges de la dépendance externe et instrumentalisations domestiques
Authors: Delteil Violaine
Published: December 2018

Au croisement de l’économie politique internationale et de la science politique, l’article propose quelques outils analytiques et illustrations empiriques pour penser les logiques et dynamiques propres au modèle de « capitalisme dépendant » est-européen. Les économies d’Europe orientale, prises dans les rets de dépendances en chaîne, associant aux pressions économiques les exigences politico-institutionnelles venant de l’UE, emblématisent ce modèle. Prenant appui sur l’expérience de ces pays mis en regard avec l’Europe centrale, l’article explicite les fondements domestiques de la dépendance externe, depuis « l’État faible » et le régime de compétitivité « low cost », jusqu’aux stratégies d’acteurs instrumentant la norme externe pour discipliner les pratiques locales (corruption, informalité, etc.). À l’aune de cette dépendance, les écueils de l’intégration européenne apparaissent flagrants et largement contingents d’une gouvernance de l’UE inapte à défaire le piège de la dépendance qui enserre les économies de la périphérie, et incidemment nourrit une crise profonde du politique.
Taming the Bear while Riding the Dragon? Central Asia confronts Russian and Chinese economic influences
Authors: Vercueil Julien
Published: December 2018

Three waves of external influence developed in Central Asia since 1992: western, Russian and more recently, Chinese. This article aims at determine whether the Russian and the Chinese economic influences can be considered from now on as competing. It begins by distinguishing between degrees of exogeneous economic influence in order to apply this framework to the region. It then differentiates the structure of accumulation regimes among these countries and the ways they can be influenced by exogeneous changes. Third, it provides an assessment of the channels by which Chinese and Russian influence can be felt in Central Asia. Finally, it documents the current transformations that are increasing the Chinese presence and raising the risk of structural external dependency for central Asian countries.
De la réforme agraire à l’hyperinflation : l’expérience zimbabwéenne (1997-2008)
Authors: Drabo Daouda
Published: December 2018

Cet article a pour objectif de contribuer à la compréhension de l’hyperinflation zimbabwéenne de 2008. La réforme agraire annoncée en novembre 1997 est à l’origine de cette hyperinflation. Celle-ci a provoqué une fuite massive de capitaux et une désorganisation de la production qui entraînent sur plusieurs années la dégradation des comptes extérieurs, et une dépréciation tendancielle du dollar zimbabwéen. La dépréciation, via la hausse des coûts à l’importation, a engendré une forte augmentation des prix. La hausse durable des prix a, par la suite, débouché sur les pratiques d’indexation des prix sur le cours du change. Ces phénomènes d’indexation ont non seulement nourri le processus inflationniste, mais aussi conduit à l’effondrement de la monnaie zimbabwéenne. La réforme agraire enclenche donc un processus qui aboutit à la destruction du dollar zimbabwéen. Notre contribution à la compréhension de l’hyperinflation zimbabwéenne est de montrer comment la décision politique visant à exproprier les terres appartenant aux fermiers britanniques a entraîné un effondrement de l’ordre monétaire.

Published: December 2018

Success in tissue culture of all plant species depends on the removal of exogenous and endogenous contaminating microorganisms. Rhododendron wardii is a parent of many of the best yellow hybrids and it has been identified as a Least Concern spp. An efficient protocol was developed for sterilization of seeds of R. wardii for in vitro cultivation for mass propagation and conservation. Three sterilizing agents, namely, HgCl2 (w/v), NaOCl (v/v) + Tween20 and H2O2 (v/v) at varying their concentration and time of exposure were tested. Treatment with 25% H2O2 for 20 min was the most effective with no contaminated cultures, where the germination percentage was 92.6% (ex vitro germination percentage was 58.61%) and produced 100% healthy plants. Even though the exposure to 15% NaOCl + Tween 20 for 20 min produced 100% contamination-free cultures, the percentage seed germination was 51%. Seeds could be sterilized with 5% NaOCl, for 20 min and 15% for 10 min for maximum germination (64%), but contamination rate was 1:2. Sterilization with HgCl2 did not produce any satisfactory result (maximum germination percentage = 18%).
Enabling High-Performance Heterogeneous Integration via Interface Standards, IP Reuse, and Modular Design
Authors: Olofsson Andreas , Green Daniel S. , Demmin Jeffrey
Published: December 2018

DARPA is leading a new thrust to leverage mainstream semiconductor design approaches to enable the rapid and cost-effective integration of heterogeneous device technologies. This represents a leap ahead beyond the monolithic silicon approach that has served the semiconductor industry well, but which now creates prohibitive cost and design issues at leading-edge nodes, as well as performance constraints without the benefits of broad device technology options. DARPA's Common Heterogeneous Integration and IP Reuse Strategies (CHIPS) program will develop interface standards, IP reuse methodologies, and modular design approaches with the goal of making heterogeneous integration as straightforward as printed circuit board design and assembly, without compromising device performance. An overview of the program's vision, goals, and progress to date is presented here.
The Protection of Health in the Care and Trust Relationship between Doctor and Patient: Competence, Professional Autonomy and Responsibility of the Doctor and Decision-Making Autonomy of the Patient
Authors: Delbon Paola
Published: December 2018

The Authors review Law No. 219/2017, with its important contribution to defining the roles and responsibilities of subjects in care relationship – a dynamic relationship (over time, for the condition of the interested party, to people who may be involved) – and regulating advance directives and shared planning of care. The Law promotes and enhances the relationship of care and trust between doctor and patient, which includes the competence, professional autonomy and responsibility of the doctor and the decisional autonomy and right to self-determination – to make an informed and voluntary choice about treatment proposed by the doctor - of the patient. For concrete implementation of the Law, an adequate information system and all the measures to guarantee certainty about the consequences of behaviour and protection of the rights of all the subjects involved are now essential. In addition, for advance directives, it is essential to reflect on the adequacy of medical information required by the Law itself for its drafting, considering that the citizen can contact qualified professionals and also independently find this information autonomously, selecting the sources of information.
Perceptions of Health Professionals about the Quality of Communication and Deliberation with the Patient and its Impact on the Health Decision Making Process
Authors: Osuna Eduardo , Pérez-Carrión Antonio , Pérez-Cárceles María D. , Machado Francisco
Published: December 2018

The information process is considered a core element in decision- making and an obligatory matter of concern for the health professional. Rather than information per se, we should perhaps mention the need for communication between the health professional and the patient, which should be appropriate to each specific case and situation. Interaction and communication during the relationship generates a degree of trust that contributes to improving care quality and health-related results. The aim of this study is to know the perception of professionals on the quality of communication and its impact on the decision-making process of the patient and the degree of involvement of health professionals in the process of communication with the patient. A sample of 2186 health professionals (1578 nurses, 586 physicians, and 22 pharmacists) was studied. A questionnaire composed of 20 items dealing with the process of communication with the patient and obtaining informed consent was administered. Our study revealed the high consideration that professionals hold of their communication skills with patients since almost 80% of those surveyed, think they are sufficiently skilled in this area. Professionals refers that nurses are most skilled at communicating with patients. Communication in the clinical relationship must not only serve as a way for the professional to obtain information from the patient on their pathology, but also as a means to inform patients so that they understand their illness. Patients also like to feel that they are being listened to and are co-participants in the care process. Communication should be a continuous object of study for all health professionals, both in primary and specialised attention.

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the biliary tree in a paediatric patient – A rare cause of obstructive jaundice
Authors: Mathew Denny , De Lima Heliodora , Mahomed Nasreen
Published: December 2018

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in the paediatric age group, ranking fourth in frequency after central nervous system tumours, neuroblastomas and nephroblastomas. Embryonal RMS of the biliary tree is considered a rare entity, with the most common clinical presentation being that of obstructive jaundice. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy who presented with hepatomegaly and obstructive jaundice. Biochemically, there was evidence of elevated ductal enzymes with conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features were consistent with a biliary RMS with the differential diagnosis of a choledochal cyst initially included based on the computed tomography images. The diagnosis of embryonal biliary RMS was later confirmed on histology. This case illustrates the importance of considering malignant aetiologies in paediatric cases of obstructive jaundice, as this entity is infrequently described in the literature and may mimic the appearance of a choledochal cyst. The demonstration of enhancement of intraductal material within the biliary tree on MRI and the presence of arterial waveforms within the intraductal mass on ultrasound assists in the differentiation between biliary RMS and a choledochal cyst.
Ultrasound elastography findings in piriformis muscle syndrome
Authors: Demirel Adnan , Baykara Murat , Koca Tuba Tülay , Berk Ejder
Published: December 2018

Background: Piriformis muscle syndrome (PMS) is relatively less known and underestimated because it is confused with other clinical pathological conditions. Delays in its diagnosis may lead to chronic somatic dysfunction and muscle weakness. Objective: Here, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the ultrasound elastography (UE) as an easy, less-invasive, and cost-effective method for early diagnosis of PMS. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight cases clinically diagnosed as PMS at the outpatient clinic were evaluated by UE. The elastographic strain ratio was calculated by dividing the strain value of the subcutaneous fat tissue by the mean stress value of the muscle beneath. The diagnostic performances of the strain rate measures were compared using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Twenty-one (N = 21) cases were female, and seven (N = 7) of the cases were male. The mean age was 45 years (ranged 24–62 years). The strain rates of piriformis muscle (PM) and gluteus maximus (GM) muscles were significantly higher on the PMS-diagnosed side (P < 0.001). The cutoff value of UE strain ratio for the PM and GM were 0.878 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.774–0.981] and 0.768 (95% CI 0.622–0.913), respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity values were, respectively, 80.95% and 85.71% for the PM, and they were, respectively, 85.71% and 66.67% for the GM. Conclusion: We showed that the muscle elasticity and tissue hardening increased on the problematic side both on PM and GM. UE may provide early diagnosis of PMS, thereby increasing the possibility of treatment with less invasive methods.

Published: December 2018

Objectives: This study aims at determining the normal pancreatic dimensions in pediatric age groups considering demographic parameters and thus developing percentile reference curves for normal pancreatic dimensions in Indian children. Setting and Design: It is a cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was planned at a children hospital during July 2016–December 2017, in which the pancreatic dimensions of 1078 normal children in the age range of 1 month to 19 years were obtained through abdominal ultrasonography (USG). The demographic details like age and gender were obtained for each child. Statistical Analysis Used: Percentile reference curves were obtained with reference to age for each gender type independently. Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape were used to obtain percentile plots for each pancreatic part. Results: The mean age of children was 6.65 ± 4.43 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1.63:1. The head, body, and tail dimensions increased with the age. For head, up to 25th percentile, the curves were similar for both genders, while subsequent curves were higher in males as compared to females. Similar was the observation for body of pancreas. For tail, up to 75th percentile, the curves were similar for both genders. Conclusion: The normal ranges can be supportive in diagnosis of illness related to pancreas. The dimensions within 5–95th percentile along with iso-echogenicity can be regarded as normal, while the dimensions beyond these limits along with change of echogenicity can be suspected for pancreatic disorders.

Published: December 2018

Artykuł ma za zadanie odpowiedzieć na pytanie – na czym polega połączenie kapłaństwa Jezusa Chrystusa z Jego Sercem, jak również z naszym ministerialnym „kapłaństwem na wzór Serca Jezusowego”. Wskazuje na fakt, że nowe święto Jezusa Chrystusa Najwyższego i Wiecznego Kapłana jest na wskroś chrystologiczne, dlatego też mówiono w historii kultu Serca Jezusa o Jego kapłańskim Sercu, zwłaszcza w tradycji francuskiej szkoły duchowości berulliańskiej, z której wyrasta duchowość L. Dehona. Całość rozważań opiera się na inspiracjach płynących z tekstów mszy o Jezusie Chrystusie Najwyższym i Wiecznym Kapłanie, a zwłaszcza z jego biblijnych czytań, skąd wypływa kierunek dla formacji do kapłaństwa na wzór Serca Jezusa. Te liturgiczne i biblijne teksty są dopełnieniem rozumienia kapłaństwa w ujęciu o. Leona Dehona, a także mogą nadać mu nowy dynamizm i kierunek dalszego rozwoju.

Theological content of the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Eternal High Priest in context formation to the priesthood on design of the Heart of Jesus

The article is intended to answer the question – what is the connection of the priesthood of Jesus Christ with his Heart, as well as with our ministerial „priesthood on design of the Heart of Jesus”. He points to the fact that the new feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Eternal High Priest is thoroughly christological, therefore it was said in the history of the cult of the Heart of Jesus about His priestly Heart, especially in the tradition of the French school of Berullian spirituality, from which the spirituality of L. Dehon grows. All the reflections are based on the inspirations flowing from the texts of the Holy Mass on Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Eternal High Priest, and especially his biblical readings, from where the direction for the formation to the priesthood on design of the Heart of Jesus. These liturgical and biblical texts complement the understanding of the priesthood in the light of Fr. Leon Dehon, and can give it new dynamism and direction for further development.
La sintesi di cristologia e pneumatologia in ecclesiologia secondo Ioannis Zizioulas
Authors: Pastorczyk Adam
Published: December 2018

Synteza Chrystologii i Pneumatologii w Eklezjologii według Ioannisa Zizioulasa
„Byt eklezjalny” oznacza nic innego jak dokonywanie paschalnego przejścia: od bytu indywidualnego do komunionalnego. „Nowe narodzenie z góry” jest owocem równoczesnego działania Trójcy, które w naszej prezentacji zostanie wyrażone za pomocą twierdzenia: „chrystologia uwarunkowana pneumatologią i odwrotnie”. W tym samym czasie, Duch tworzy ciało Chrystusa, a Chrystus posyła Ducha tym, którzy zostają włączeni do wspólnoty Kościoła.
Biorąc pod uwagę to, co właśnie zostało powiedziane, Chrystus nie może być rozumiany jako indywiduum, lecz jako jedyna w swoim rodzaju „osobowość korporacyjna”: „«jeden» w «wielu» i «wielu» w «jednym»”. W ten sposób, eschatologiczna tożsamość Chrystusa, będąc poza historią, właśnie w historii znajduje swą pełną realizację. Usytuowanie historii i eschatologii w Chrystusie, zbliża nas do chrystologiczno-pneumatologicznego equilibrium w eklezjologii, tak bardzo oczekiwanego przez Ioannisa Zizioulasa.

The Synthesis of Christology and Pneumatology in Ecclesiology according to Ioannis Zizioulas
„Ecclesial being” means nothing other than making a paschal transition: from individual being to communal being. „The new birth from above” is a fruit of the simultaneous action of the Trinity, which in our presentation will be expressed by means of the theorem: „christology conditioned by pneumatology and vice versa”. At the same time, the Spirit forms the body of Christ and Christ sends the Spirit to those who are incorporated into the Church.
Taking into consideration what was said above, Christ cannot be understood as an individual, but as an unique „corporate personality”: „«one» in «many» and «many» in «one»”. In this way, the eschatological identity of Christ, being beyond history, finds its full realization in history. The location of history and eschatology in Christ brings us closer to the christological-pneumatological equilibrium in ecclesiology, so much awaited by Ioannis Zizioulas.
Czy chrześcijanie mogą „narzucać” swoje prawa ludziom mającym inny światopogląd? Uwagi na marginesie debaty społecznej w Polsce
Authors: Smykowski Krzysztof
Published: December 2018

Celem artykułu jest podjęcie refleksji nad zagadnieniem możliwości prawnej regulacji niektórych kwestii moralnych. Toczy się bowiem wciąż debata społeczna dotycząca m.in. prawnych aspektów przerywania ciąży. Po syntetycznym ukazaniu fundamentu prawa do życia, którego źródłem jest nadprzyrodzona godność człowieka, podjęto problem prawnej regulacji analizowanych kwestii. Stwierdzono, że niektóre swoje źródło mają w powszechnie obowiązującym prawie naturalnym, a normy religijne je wzmacniają i dostarczają nowej motywacji. Wskazano ponadto na potrzebę permanentnej formacji sumienia, które nie może zostać zastąpione przez prawo.

Can Christians „impose” their rights on people who have a different worldview? Comments at the margin of social debate in Poland
The aim of the article is to reflect on the problem of the possibility of legal regulation of some moral issues. There is still a social debate regarding, among legal aspects of abortion. After a synthetic presentation of the foundation of the right to life, the source of which is the supernatural dignity of a human being, the problem of legal regulation of the analyzed issues was raised. It has been found that source of some of them is in the universally binding natural law, and religious norms strengthen them and provide new motivation. It also pointed to the need for permanent formation of conscience, which cannot be replaced by the law.

Społeczny wymiar miłosierdzia
Życie społeczne jest siecią interakcji, jakie zachodzą pomiędzy wielorakimi podmiotami społecznymi: jednostkami, grupami społecznymi, jednostkami i grupami społecznymi. Interakcje te obejmują nie tylko wszelkie wymiary życia, ale również ich głębię i etyczny charakter. Życie społeczne jest regulowane zwyczajami, obyczajami i prawami. Nie ma jednak zasad, które regulowałyby życie społeczne w sposób doskonały. Nie jest nią sprawiedliwość, chociaż stanowi bazę, na której mogą się opierać inne zasady, jak na przykład solidarność. Nawet prawo, chociażby byłoby sprawiedliwe, lecz stosowane literalnie, staje się niesprawiedliwe. Zatem, w ramach funkcjonowania każdego społeczeństwa, rodzi się potrzeba miłosierdzia. Miłosierna aktywność była, jest i zawsze będzie aktywnością na wskroś pożądaną. Rzecz bowiem w tym, że ludzkie potrzeby, które mogą być zaspokajane tylko na drodze miłosierdzia, są wielorakie i ponadczasowe. Im większa niemoc jednostki, tym szersze otwiera się pole na uczynki miłosierdzia.

Social dimension of Mercy
Social life is a network of interactions that occur between multiple social entities: individuals, social groups, individuals and social groups. These interactions include not only all dimensions of life, but also their depth and ethical character. Social life is regulated by customs, mores and laws. However, there are no rules that would regulate social life in a perfect way. It is not justice, although it is the basis on which other principles can be based, such as solidarity. Also the law, even if it was just, but used literally, becomes unjust. Therefore, within the functioning of every society, the need for mercy arises. Merciful activity has been, and always will be a thoroughly desirable activity. The point is that human needs that can be satisfied only through the path of mercy are manifold and timeless. The greater the weakness of the individual, the wider the field opens to the works of mercy.

Pesquisa social interpretativa alemã: os métodos de entrevista narrativa biográfica e de reconstrução biográfica de caso
Authors: Sangalli Lucas Cé , Rinaldi Débora
Published: December 2018

A pesquisa social interpretativa alemã desenvolve e aplica métodos qualitativos de pesquisa mais intensamente desde a década de 1970. O principal objetivo do artigo é apresentar e discutir os métodos de entrevista narrativa biográfica e de reconstrução biográfica de caso sistematizados pela socióloga alemã Gabriele Rosenthal em seu livro Pesquisa Social Interpretativa (2014). Estes métodos aplicam os princípios de uma pesquisa social interpretativa, os quais têm suscitado interesse em pesquisadores brasileiros nos últimos anos. Na primeira parte do artigo, apresentamos os pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos de uma pesquisa social interpretativa. Posteriormente, explicamos e discutimos as etapas de uma reconstrução biográfica de caso com base em dados gerados em uma entrevista narrativa biográfica. Por fim, apresentamos um estudo brasileiro e outro alemão para demonstrar como estes métodos permitem reconstruir a gênese dos fenômenos sociais e explicar sua manifestação no presente, avançando em relação a métodos que se restringem a uma análise sincrônica e descritiva dos fenômenos. Isto contribui para o desenvolvimento de uma sociologia histórica do conhecimento e para o estabelecimento de uma tipologia sociogenética dos fenômenos sociais.

Abstract. The effects of slaughter age and muscle type on meat quality properties of
Eastern Anatolian Red (EAR) bulls (n=46) were investigated in the present
study. Forty-six EAR bulls were slaughtered at 15, 17, 19, 25 and 27 months.
Meat samples were taken from longissimus dorsi (LD) and gluteus medius (GM)
muscles obtained from the carcasses at 24 h post-mortem. Meat color
parameters were significantly affected by slaughter age. Older animals (19,
25 and 27 months of age) possessed higher L*, a* and
H values than those of younger animals (15 and 17 months of age). LD muscle
had higher L* and a* values than those of GM muscles. The influences
of slaughter age and muscle type on the proportions of dry matter, ether
extract, crude ash and crude protein were not significant in the present study.
The influence of slaughter age on the tenderness, acceptability, juiciness,
number of chews and Warner–Bratzler shear (WBS) values were found to be
significant. Tenderness, juiciness, flavor intensity and acceptability
increased until 19 months of age, and then increase in age resulted in lower
tenderness, flavor intensity and acceptability scores. Cooking yield
significantly increased depending on the increase of age. WBS and cooking
yield values from the LD were higher than that of the GM muscle. Textural
characteristics such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess,
chewiness and resilience were not affected by slaughter age, but muscles had
a significant influence on hardness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience. In
conclusion, most eating quality characteristics and color parameters were
positively influenced by slaughter age.

Aerosol optical properties derived from POLDER-3/PARASOL (2005–2013) over the western Mediterranean Sea – Part 1: Quality assessment with AERONET and in situ airborne observations
Authors: Formenti Paola , Mbemba Kabuiku Lydie , Chiapello Isabelle , Ducos Fabrice , Dulac François , Tanré Didier
Published: December 2018

Abstract. The western Mediterranean atmosphere is impacted by a variety of aerosol
sources, producing a complex and variable mixture of natural and
anthropogenic particles, with different chemical and physical properties.
Satellite sensors provide a useful global coverage of aerosol parameters but
through indirect measurements that require careful validation. Here we
present the results of a long-term regional scale analysis of the full
dataset (March 2005 and October 2013) of POLDER-3/PARASOL ocean operational
retrievals of the total, fine, and coarse aerosol optical depth (AOD,
AODF, and AODC), Ångström exponent (AE), and
the spherical or non-spherical partition of coarse-mode AOD
(AODCS and AODCNS), respectively. The evaluation is
performed using data from 17 coastal and insular ground-based AERONET sites
on one side, and airborne vertical profiles of aerosol extinction and number
size distribution obtained by the SAFIRE ATR-42 aircraft operated in the area
during summer 2012 and 2013 on the other side. This study provides the first
regional evaluation of uncertainties of the POLDER-3 products, and highlights
their quality. The POLDER-3 Ångström exponent, representing AOD
spectral dependence in link with the aerosol particle size distribution, is
biased towards small values. This bias, however, does not prevent using AE
for classifying the regional aerosol laden air masses. AODF
corresponds to particles smaller than 0.6–0.8 µm in diameter and
appears suitable to monitor the aerosol submicron fraction from space. We
also provide an original validation of POLDER-3 AODC and its
spherical or non-spherical partition, which shows agreement within 25 %
with AERONET shape retrievals when the aerosol coarse fraction
dominates.
LISA: a lightweight stratospheric air sampler

Published: December 2018

Abstract. We developed a new lightweight stratospheric air sampler (LISA). The LISA
sampler is designed to collect four bag samples in the stratosphere during a
balloon flight for CO2, CH4 and CO mole fraction
measurements. It consists of four multi-layer foil (MLF) sampling bags, a
custom-made manifold, and a diaphragm pump, with a total weight of
∼2.5 kg. A series of laboratory storage tests were performed to assess the stability
of CO2, CH4 and CO mole fractions in both MLF and Tedlar
bags. The MLF bag was chosen due to its better overall performance than the
Tedlar bag for the three species CO2, CH4 and CO.
Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of the pump under low pressure
conditions to optimize a trade-off between the vertical resolution and the
sample size. The LISA sampler was flown on the same balloon flight with an AirCore in
Sodankylä, Finland (67.368∘ N, 26.633∘ E,
179 m a.s.l.), on 26 April and 4–7 September 2017. A total of 15
stratospheric air samples were obtained during the ascent of four flights.
The sample size ranges between 800 and 180 mL for the altitude between
12 and 25 km, with the corresponding vertical resolution ranging from
0.5 to 1.5 km. The collected air samples were analysed for
CO2, CH4 and CO mole fractions, and evaluated against
AirCore retrieved profiles, showing mean differences of 0.84 ppm for
CO2, 1.8 ppb for CH4 and 6.3 ppb for CO,
respectively. High-accuracy stratospheric measurements of greenhouse gas mole fractions are
useful to validate remote sensing measurements from ground and from space,
which has been performed primarily by comparison with collocated aircraft
measurements (0.15–13 km), and more recently with AirCore
observations (0–30 km). While AirCore is capable of achieving
high-accuracy greenhouse gas mole fraction measurements, it is challenging to
obtain accurate altitude registration for AirCore measurements. The LISA
sampler provides a viable low-cost tool for retrieving stratospheric air
samples for greenhouse gas measurements that is complementary to AirCore.
Furthermore, the LISA sampler is advantageous in both the vertical resolution
and sample size for performing routine stratospheric measurements of the
isotopic composition of trace gases.
