ANTROPOLOGIA RELIGIOSA DE VIKTOR FRANKL? À guisa da perspectiva religiosa do fundador da Logoterapia
Authors: Meireles Marcos Vinicius da Costa
Published: June 2019

À luz da concepção do teólogo Hans Jügen-Fraas sobre psicologia da religião, este trabalho se propõe a investigar a propriedade em definir a concepção antropológica de Viktor Frankl como religiosa. Para tal, vale-se da pesquisa teórico bibliográfica, a fim de pôr em relevo alguns temas de importância para Frankl. O percurso seguido consiste em debater sobre: I) A responsabilidade transcendente; II) A delimitação em relação a teologia; III) A relação do ser humano com a questão do sentido; IV) A tendência apologética de se pensar Deus. O método utilizado é a análise dedutiva do conteúdo.

PSICOLOGIA DA RELIGIÃO E SISTEMA DE CRENÇAS
Authors: Azevedo Gilson Xavier de
Published: June 2019

RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é abordar a noção de sistema de crenças dentro da psicologia da religião através de três elementos que parecem cruciais para tal compreensão. Inicialmente tratar a experiência religiosa como elemento formado a partir de um sistema de crenças constituído no campo psíquico e depois, propor um levantamento das obras de dois autores (Sigmund Freud e Erich Fromm) da psicanálise que abordaram a experiência religiosa em algumas de suas obras, e em terceiro, compor um perfil significativo da psicologia das crenças em questão. Trata-se de um estudo revisional exploratório. A motivação para esse estudo, situa-se no conjunto de estudos que venho proposto nos campos da antropologia, psicologia e sociologia sobre o que concebo por sistema de crenças. A questão é se os autores e obras que venho analisando tocam nesta questão, sem necessariamente se darem conta de que estão tratando de uma estrutura tão elementar para a formação social quanto as demais. A premissa básica é de que autores e obras analisadas dão subsidio para tal localização. Espera-se não só nesse artigo, mas no estudo como um todo, chegar a noções conceituais sólidas sobre o sistema de crenças e seu papel cultural, psíquico e social.

Good Corporate Governance does not mediate the influence of capital structure and firm growth on firm value
ANALISIS PENGARUH MARKETING MIX TERHADAP KEPUTUSAN PEMILIHAN PTS YANG DIMEDIASI VARIABEL BRAND IMAGE (Studi Pada Siswa SMAN di Kota Semarang)
Authors: Kurniawati Endang , Mohklas Mohklas
Published: June 2019

The phenomenon that occurs in high school graduates and equivalent post graduation is always preoccupied with making choices in higher education. The priority that is his choice is to enter the State University. The reality that exists with various regulations from State Universities (PTN) is very competitive, which includes very minimal capacity.This condition causes Private Higher Education (PTS) to always increase the intensity of competition among higher education service providers. This causes demands to be able to implement the right marketing strategy by trying to offer higher education services that are in line with the expectations of prospective students (consumers). Universities need to consider the right marketing strategy in the right combination of marketing mix to win the competition.In general, this study aims to test, analyze the direct and indirect effects of marketing mix influence on the decision of private university selection with mediated brand image variables. So that it can be seen that the most dominant mediation pathway in influencing election decisions. Specifically this study aims to provide PTS management input advice in Semarang City, in improving the quality and quantity of performance in the marketing unit.The variables in this study consist of 6 (six) variables where in the first stage the variables of product, price, promotion, and location become independent variables while the decision to choose Private Higher Education becomes the dependent variable. Then in the second stage the fourth independent variable is mediated with the brand image variable.Data collection techniques were researched by distributing questionnaires to SMAN in Semarang City which were arranged systematically with several easy-to-understand answers. Distribution of questionnaires by being met directly in the middle of 2018, with a sample of 161 students. Then the data collected through the questionnaire is carried out by a data analyst test; validity and reliability, classical assumption test, path analysis followed by hypothesis testing.
Sea-level rise in Denmark: Bridging local reconstructions and global projections
Authors: Colgan William , Box Jason E. , Ribeiro Sofia , Kjeldsen Kristian K.
Published: June 2019

Between 1850 and 2006 global mean sea level rose by 24 ± 18 cm. It is projected to rise a further 52 ± 21 cm under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario, which approximates the carbon emissions reductions of the ‘Paris Agreement’ climate pathway. It is projected to rise 74 ± 28 cm under the RCP8.5 scenario, which represents a ‘business-as-usual’ climate pathway (Box & Colgan 2017). These rates of recent and future sea-level rise are faster than those reconstructed for previous warm intervals, such as the Medieval Climatic Optimum (c. 1000 to 1400 CE) and the Holocene Thermal Maximum (c. 7000 to 3000 BCE) (Gehrels & Shennan 2015). Moreover, palaeo reconstructions indicate a global sea-level sensitivity of two metres per degree of warming (Levermann et al. 2013).

The forces driving global sea-level change are complex. The global sea-level budget includes the transfer of land ice into the ocean, thermal expansion of seawater, changes in land water storage, and changes in ocean basin volume (Church et al. 2013). At the local scale, the evolving planetary gravity due to shifting water and ice masses, shifting oceanic and atmospheric currents and persistent tectonic and glacial isostatic adjustment processes can also be important. Sea-level changes around the globe are therefore far from uniform (Jevrejeva et al. 2016).

Here, we highlight the value of combining palaeo reconstructions of sea level, the measured tide gauge record, and projections of future sea level. This allows us to understand local sea-level changes from the recent past in the context of global projections for the near future (0 to 2100 CE). We explore the strong differences in local sea-level histories and future projections at three Danish cities: Skagen and Esbjerg, as they have contrasting glacio-isostatic adjustment histories, and Copenhagen, where we also compare local and global drivers of present-day sea-level rise based on previously published research.
Sensitivity Analysis and Stabilization for Two Dynamical Systems
Authors: Bazuaye Frank Etin-Osa
Published: June 2019

This paper focuses on the sensitivity analysis for two dominant political parties. In contrast to Misra, Bazuaye and Khan, who developed the model without investigating the impact of varying the initial state of political parties on the solution trajectory of each political parties, we have developed a sound numerical algorithm to analyze the impact of change on the initial data on the behavior of the democratic process which is a rare contribution to knowledge. Two Matlab standard solvers for ordinary differential equations, ode45 and ode23, have been utilized to handle these formidable mathematical problems. Our findings indicate that as the initial data varies, the dynamical system describing the interaction between two political parties is stabilized over a period of eight years. As duration increases, the systems get de-stabilized.
On the Modified Optimal Investment Strategy for Annuity Contracts under the Constant Elasticity of Variance (CEV) Model
Authors: Njoku K. N. C. , Osu B. O.
Published: June 2019

In this work, the optimal pension wealth investment strategy during the decumulation phase, in a defined contribution (DC) pension scheme is constructed. The pension plan member is allowed to invest in a risk free and a risky asset, under the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. The explicit solution of the constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) and constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) utility functions are obtained, using Legendre transform, dual theory, and change of variable methods. It is established herein that the elastic parameter, β, say, must not necessarily be equal to one (β ≠ 1). A theorem is constructed and proved on the wealth investment strategy. Observations and significant results are made and obtained, respectively in the comparison of our various utility functions and some previous results in literature.
The Wit of "Judge Rinder"
Authors: Moran Leslie James
Published: June 2019

Judge Rinder is a British reality TV court show. It has much in common with the US archetype Judge Judy. But there are differences. One is Judge Rinder’s humour, and more specifically his wit. Using a research database of Judge Rinder cases. The article examines the nature and effects of humour in this courtroom setting. It explores the role of the judge, the form the humour takes and the interactions and social relations it generates. A distinctive feature of the analysis is consideration of the impact of the audio-visual technologies, and the techniques and conventions developed around them, upon the interactions and social relations the onscreen humour generates with viewers. While the camera aligns the screen audience with the judge and the laughter track infects the audience with emotion the judge generates, the paper cautions against assuming that all viewers have the same emotional experience.
Family Violence and Judicial Empathy
Authors: Booth Tracey
Published: June 2019

Enquiries and research reveal that many victims of family violence who are personally cross-examined by the alleged perpetrator of that violence in family law proceedings find the process traumatising and intimidating. Not only can such processes generate unsafe and unfair outcomes but also they are unlikely to produce the high quality evidence required by the court. In deference to the emotional wellbeing and vulnerability of these victims, a number of measures for receiving such evidence are available to Australian Family Court judges. However, currently these are all discretionary powers and anecdotal evidence suggests that the use of these tools is unpredictable and dependent on the individual judge. In the absence of empirical evidence, this paper aims to open up potential emotional dimensions of judicial decision-making in this context with a view to exploring these theoretical ideas in later empirical work.
China and its wests – evolution of security dynamics and its consequences for the defence industries of the involved actors
Authors: Markiewicz Magdalena
Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVES: The research objective of the paper is to analyse the recent, ever more pronounced shifts
and changes in security dynamics between China and its “Wests”.

METHODS: The methods used in the study consist of in-depth going qualitative research and analysis
of Western journals as well as an investigation and translation of primary Chinese sources.

RESULTS: Each cooperation effort and security partnership between China and the analysed partners
means that the defence capabilities of one player will affect those of the other. This is a matter of
concern for those who are currently in a position that relies on the import of military and intelligence
equipment from stronger actors, as such a relationship may provide easier access and leverage for giants
such as China to influence their domestic foreign policy and security agendas.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study shed light on the on-going relevance of the question: is it possible to
find space in which actors can achieve their own security objectives that is beneficial for the development of their
defence industries without challenging the foreign policies of one another? Can competition between China and
the actors it interacts with be conducted primarily in the political and economic field, with security relations
only focusing on peaceful imports and exports instead of an arms race? One may only speculate.
PENGENDALIAN DAN PENGELOLAAN TIM LINTAS FUNGSIONAL DALAM ORGANISASI
Authors: . Supardi
Published: June 2019

The complexity of modern business and the need for quick responses to changing conditions don’t allow employees to go through channels anymore. But many companies have a hard time combining information, action and interpretation across old structural boundaris, like hierarchical organization. Often, the result is decisions so untimely as to be irrelevant, no matter how technically correct they are. In today’s business environment, companies need the team concept to increase productivity and profitability, enhance quality, beat competition, or achieve the company objective du jour. Cross-functional teams (CFTs) have increased in use within a variety of organizations. While these teams claim to enhance organizational effectiveness, research has seen mixed results. This paper examines the challenges faced by CFTs and why these challenges facilitate the need for the development of a teams climate for trust.Keyword: cross-functional team, hierarchical organization
Genomics-inspired discovery of massiliachelin, an agrochelin epimer from Massilia sp. NR 4-1
Authors: Diettrich Jan , Kage Hirokazu , Nett Markus
Published: June 2019

A putative siderophore locus was detected in the genome of the violacein-producing bacterium Massilia sp. NR 4-1 and predicted to direct the biosynthesis of a molecule that is structurally related to the thiazoline-containing siderophore micacocidin. In order to track this compound, we analyzed the metabolic profiles of Massilia cultures grown under different iron concentrations. A compound which was found to be predominantly produced under iron deficiency was subsequently isolated. Its structural characterization by spectroscopic and bioinformatic analyses revealed a previously not known diastereomer of the cytotoxic alkaloid agrochelin. The structure of this natural product, which was named massiliachelin, corresponds to the assembly line encoded by the identified siderophore locus.
Determining the Efficiency of Converting Magnetar Spindown Energy into Gamma-Ray Burst X-Ray Afterglow Emission and Its Possible Implications
Authors: Xiao Di , Dai Zi-Gao
Published: June 2019

Plateaus are common in X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts. Among the few scenarios regarding their origin, the leading one is that there exists a magnetar inside and it persistently injects its spindown energy into an afterglow. In previous studies, the radiation efficiency of this process is assumed to be a constant at ≳0.1, which is quite simple and strong. In this work we obtain the efficiency from a physical point of view and find that this efficiency strongly depends on the injected luminosity. One implication of this result is that those X-ray afterglow light curves that show steeper temporal decay than t
−2 after the plateau phase can be naturally understood now. Also, the braking indexes deduced from afterglow fitting are found to be larger than those in previous studies, which are more reasonable for newborn magnetars.
The Cygnus A Jet: Parabolic Streamlines up to Kiloparsec Scales
Authors: Nakahara Satomi , Doi Akihiro , Murata Yasuhiro , Nakamura Masanori , Hada Kazuhiro , Asada Keiichi
Published: June 2019

We investigated the distance dependence of the transverse width of the jet W(r) of Cygnus A, one of the typical Fanaroff–Riley type II radio galaxies; the radial (deprojected) distance r ranged from 0.28 pc to 60 kpc (from 1.1 × 103 to 2.4 × 108
R
S) on both the approaching and counter-jet sides. The power-law dependences (W(r) ∝ r

a
) of the jet-width profile in the parsec-scale and kiloparsec-scale regions consistently show a ∼ 0.55. For the first time, we have discovered that active collimation, i.e., a smooth reduction in the opening angle with increasing distance, persists up to distances beyond the Bondi radius. We have also discovered an apparent discontinuity in the radial profiles of the jet width, by which the jet downstream appears to widen a factor of six compared with the expectation from extrapolating the upstream profile, at the radial distance between 57 and 170 pc (from 2.3 × 105 to 6.8 × 105
R
S, including the Bondi radius for Cygnus A), which is a blank in our measurements. We discuss possible explanations. The cross-section of jets was physically inflated and collimation again owing to the loss of dynamic equilibrium or a recollimation shock in a relatively flat profile of ambient pressure. We also discuss an alternative possibility to explain the observed discontinuity by a multi-layered structure in the jets: an outer (slower) layer and an inner (faster) layer with flows that are progressively accelerated with distance, throughout the parabolic streamline. The outer layer would be in lower brightness at small distances, whereas the inner layer attenuates at large distances, due to Doppler debeaming as a highly inclined jet of Cygnus A.

Hunde als Freunde und Begleiter in der deutschen Literatur vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart. Reaktion auf den ‘Animal Turn’ aus motivgeschichtlicher Sicht
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: June 2019

L’étude de la littérature, dans l’un de ses derniers « tournants » ( turns ), porte son attention sur les relations entre l’homme et l’animal. Cet article analyse en particulier de telles relations entre l’homme et le chien à l’aide de quatre exemples tirés de la littérature médiévale et de trois autres exemples empruntés à des textes des xix e  et xx e  siècles. Le propos est d’identifier le discours centré sur le chien. Il met en évidence la relation émotionnelle qui les unit. Certes, il existe de nombreux cas où les chiens assument simplement un rôle de guide, de messager ou d’intermédiaire. Mais il arrive aussi que ce rapport s’élève au rang d’une amitié profonde comme c’est le cas avec Gottfried von Straßburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach et d’Elisabeth von Nassau-Saarbrücken, mais aussi de Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach et de Thomas Mann.
„… es wächst schlafend des Wortes Gewalt“. Schlafen und Wachen bei Hölderlin
Authors: Kocziszky Eva
Published: June 2019

On sait depuis longtemps que la poésie entretient avec le sommeil un dialogue productif, mais jusqu’à présent on n’a qu’à peine prêté attention au codage poétique du sommeil et à sa possible fonction poétologique. Cette étude s’applique à le faire. Elle tente en même temps d’analyser les transformations qui affectent les rapports antinomiques entre le sommeil et la veille dans les poésies de Hölderlin. Ce faisant, elle cherche à en dégager la pertinence au regard de l’art du poète.
Hospitalité et Antiquité méditerranéenne dans les sciences humaines et sociales contemporaines
Authors: Le Guennec Marie-Adeline
Published: June 2019

Dans un contexte contemporain internationalement marqué par des situations migratoires dramatiques et par le sentiment d’urgence de l’accueil qui les accompagne, on assiste depuis une trentaine d’années à un retour de la notion d’hospitalité dans le discours politique, civil et scientifique. Les sciences humaines et sociales se sont ainsi ressaisies de cet objet d’étude qui, après avoir suscité un intérêt certain au siècle des Lumières et dans le premier xix e  siècle, avait pratiquement disparu des champs disciplinaires dans le courant du xx e  siècle. Dans les travaux qui participent de ce renouvellement historiographique, et comme c’était déjà le cas à la période moderne, la référence à l’Antiquité méditerranéenne occupe une part très importante. À partir d’un corpus d’étude de cinq ouvrages français récents, relevant de la philosophie, de la sociologie et des sciences politiques, cet article s’intéresse aux modalités et aux sens de cette évocation de l’hospitalité des périodes anciennes pour penser les enjeux du temps présent.
L’hospitalité : une institution particulière, une exigence universelle
Authors: Sauge André
Published: June 2019

S’interroger sur les rites d’accueil de l’étranger dans l’Antiquité, à l’appui d’une analyse étymologique de la notion indo-européenne, s’est avéré utile. Il nous est apparu que l’institution de l’hospitalité était un mode d’échange aristocratique. Dans la plupart des sociétés, il n’est pas une seule façon d’accueillir l’étranger, voire de l’intégrer à son propre territoire, comme il n’est pas une seule façon de le tenir à distance. La société judéenne du retour de l’exil de Babylone s’est cimentée par l’affirmation d’une solidarité exclusive entre les membres de l’alliance de Yahvé avec son peuple ; l’inclusion de l’autre en tant qu’hôte n’était pas possible. Il n’existait pas de mot en hébreu pour signifier l’hospitalité. Il est probable qu’une coupure aussi tranchée entre les fils de l’Alliance et le reste de l’humanité avait paru scandaleuse à Jésus de Nazareth. D’où la règle de conduite qu’il a énoncée, celle de l’accueil de tout être humain en tant qu’étranger, et donc de l’accueil de l’étranger au même titre que celui du parent, de l’ami, etc.

Le premier est consacré à l’hospitalité, où l’auteur contraste celle, généreuse, des Anciens à celle, commerçante, des Modernes ; le second décrit le rite romain des « tessere de l’hospitalité » qui marquait symboliquement l’engagement réciproque des « hôtes ».
« Welcome Home ! » Don et hospitalité à Burning Man
Authors: Gauthier François
Published: June 2019

Cet article aborde la question de l’hospitalité à partir du couple identité et altérité pour déboucher sur une réflexion sur le multiculturalisme, la nation et l’accueil des migrants. Celle-ci s’appuie sur une analyse du festival annuel Burning Man, aux États-Unis, exemple prototypique de communauté effervescente et volontaire à l’ère du Marché-Global sous la forme d’une cité éphémère en plein désert. Fondée sur une foisonnante économie de don et l’impératif de participation et d’expressivité, l’appartenance à la communauté y est exigeante et repose sur des obligations plutôt que des droits. À partir d’une analyse des mécanismes de production, de transmission et de régulation de l’identité collective et de la politique d’hospitalité à l’égard des « vierges » et des « touristes », l’article montre comment Burning Man parvient à reconnaître la particularité de chacun et la diversité en mettant l’emphase, par les dynamiques du don, sur l’interdépendance des participants au sein d’un tout qui les dépasse et les englobe. Ainsi s’ouvre une voie tierce, à distance des modes libéral et républicain de régulation du vivre-ensemble et de l’accueil.
L’hospitalité en actes. Quand des habitants viennent en aide aux migrants en transit à Ouistreham
Authors: Gourdeau Camille
Published: June 2019

À travers l’examen des pratiques de solidarité à l’œuvre à Ouistreham à l’égard de migrants en transit, il s’agit d’interroger les conditions de l’hospitalité, notamment pour les personnes qui hébergent des exilés, mais également de réfléchir aux apports de l’hospitalité. L’article s’appuie sur une recherche en cours sur la mobilisation citoyenne pour l’accueil des migrants à Ouistreham. Il s’intéresse dans un premier temps aux motifs individuels de l’engagement ; comment expliquer la mobilisation en faveur des migrants postés à Ouistreham ? quel élément déclencheur a provoqué ces actions de solidarité ? Il évoque ensuite le cas des personnes hébergeant à leur domicile des migrants : quelles sont les règles de vie commune établies ? y a-t-il des limites à l’hospitalité ? Enfin, il analyse ce qu’apporte le don d’hospitalité aux personnes solidaires : si toutes disent recevoir de la part de ces jeunes exilés, cette relation d’aide peut être envisagée comme une forme de contre-don hypothétique, elle peut également permettre de remédier à « la mauvaise conscience » ou à un sentiment de culpabilité. Elle peut aussi trouver un sens plus politique.
L’heure est peut-être arrivée de créer des « communautés transitionnelles »
Authors: Métraux Jean-Claude
Published: June 2019

Partant du constat que l’hospitalité du Nord vis-à-vis des migrants du Sud tend à s’amoindrir, l’article commence par décrire sa figure actuelle à cinq niveaux : État, services publics, associations, entreprises privées, citoyens ordinaires. Certaines hypothèses, complémentaires, sont alors proposées pour tenter de comprendre la genèse de cette géographie et de cette histoire de l’hospitalité, marquées par un appauvrissement des espaces intermédiaires tolérant l’ambiguïté entre l’hôte et l’ennemi. Suit une analyse des formes de reconnaissance susceptibles de revitaliser ces espaces appauvris. La création de « communautés transitionnelles », pensées pour la première fois par l’auteur il y a plus de vingt ans, suggère une alternative aux actuelles tendances.
Hospitalité et reconnaissance
Authors: Pulcini Elena
Published: June 2019

La question tragique des migrations est sans aucun doute l’un des défis de l’âge mondial, un défi qui relève de la nouvelle figure de l’autre: l’autre comme différent , destiné à devenir l’« étranger interne » (Simmel). Il en résulte une réaction émotionnelle double et spéculaire: d’une part, la peur de la part de l’hôte recevant ( host ) qui se sent menacé ; de l’autre, le ressentiment de l’hôte invité ( guest ), qui se sent l’objet d’une méconnaissance. Cette spirale négative, source de conflit et de violence, ne peut être interrompue que par une disponibilité à l’ hospitalité . Mais s’il est vrai, comme le prétend Derrida, que l’hospitalité ne pose pas de conditions, il est également vrai qu’elle ne peut être fondée que sur une reconnaissance mutuelle (Honneth) entre l’hôte ( host ) et l’invité ( guest ).
La société de l’écoute. La réceptivité comme essence du bien commun
Authors: Rosa Hartmut
Published: June 2019

Dans ce texte inédit, l’auteur approfondit sa conception de la démocratie comme sphère de résonance. Si cette manière de se relier au monde et aux autres au nom d’une conception partagée du bien commun est aujourd’hui entrée en crise, c’est en raison du fait que, soumis aux forces de la croissance et de l’accélération généralisées, le monde et l’avenir ne nous répondent plus et il semble impossible de les faire nôtres par des moyens démocratiques. Et l’une des manifestations de ce rapport répulsif à ce monde n’est autre que l’hostilité à l’égard des « étrangers » et la crise contemporaine de l’hospitalité. Comment alors instituer une « société de l’écoute » qui puisse conserver sa capacité d’être résonante tant à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur de ses frontières ?
Don et résonance. En écho à la sociologie de Hartmut Rosa. Vers une synthèse ?
Authors: Caillé Alain
Published: June 2019

La sociologie, aujourd’hui, est fractionnée entre un nombre incalculable d’écoles, de sous-écoles, de courants, de méthodologies, d’épistémologies et de « terrains ». Aussi, dans un tel contexte, est-il particulièrement agréable d’observer l’étonnante congruence qui existe entre deux écoles sociologiques, deux paradigmes, qui se sont développés de manière indépendante : le paradigme de la résonance – appelons-le ainsi – théorisé par Hartmut Rosa dans le cadre de la sociologie critique de l’École de Francfort, une des plus importantes écoles sociologiques existantes, et le paradigme du don élaboré depuis une quarantaine d’années autour de la Revue du MAUSS dans le sillage de l’ Essai sur le don de Marcel Mauss.
L’hôpital débordé : plus vite, moins haut, moins fort
Authors: Spinhirny Frédéric
Published: June 2019

Nous entendons régulièrement que les choses vont plus vite à l’hôpital, qu’on n’a plus le temps de rien faire. Le temps nous manque, certes, mais d’où vient ce sentiment paradoxal : tout s’accélère mais rien n’avance ? Certaines études démontrent que les organisations de travail souffrent de mauvaises pratiques managériales et que, plus que les conditions matérielles concrètes des agents, ce sont elles qui nuisent à la qualité de vie au travail. Notre réflexion a pour ambition de mettre en avant le phénomène d’accélération sociale comme étant le cœur des problématiques de souffrance au travail, de perte de sens et de manque d’adhésion au collectif.
Oral administration of heat-killed Lactobacillus brevis SBC8803 elevates the ratio of acyl/des-acyl ghrelin in blood and increases short-term food intake
Authors: Saito H. , Nakakita Y. , Segawa S. , Tsuchiya Y.
Published: June 2019

It is known that gastrointestinal microbiota, probiotics and heat-killed microbes can regulate intestinal immunity; however, their effect on the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones is unclear. The secretion of gastrointestinal hormones can be mediated by the elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, suggesting that these hormones may act through common mechanisms. We have previously shown that heat-killed Lactobacillus brevis SBC8803 (hk-SBC8803) induced the secretion of serotonin and elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration in serotonin-producing RIN-14B cells, suggesting that hk-SBC8803 could potentially cause the same effect on other gastrointestinal hormones, including hunger hormone ghrelin. Here, we tested this hypothesis by treating cultured cells and experimental animals with hk-SBC8803 and assessing ghrelin secretion, expression of ghrelin-related genes, and food intake. The results indicated that hk-SBC8803 treatment for 30 min significantly upregulated the secretion of acyl ghrelin (active form) (P=0.046) and mRNA expression of the Syt3 (synaptotagmin 3) gene related to ghrelin exocytosis (P<0.05) in primary mouse stomach cells. In addition, oral administration of 500 mg/kg hk-SBC8803 to rats tended to upregulate acyl ghrelin concentration (P=0.10) and significantly increased the ratio of acyl to des-acyl (inactive) ghrelin (P=0.027) in blood, which corresponded to a tendency of stimulating food intake (P=0.087) at 30 min post-treatment. However, when in order to minimise individual differences we normalised the data on food intake to those on one-day food intake prior to food deprivation, the resultant food intake ratio showed a significant increase (by 5% compared to control; P=0.032) at 30 min after hk-SBC8803 treatment, indicating that hk-SBC8803 administration stimulated rats to take more food during the first meal after fasting.

Published: June 2019

The vibroburnishing is a process of surface plastic deforming applied to parts made of metallic materials to diminish the surface roughness, to increase the microhardness of the superficial layer, to generate internal stresses more convenient in certain service conditions of the parts. Practically, the ball vibrorolling process appeared as a result of including a vibratory motion. A ball is used as a deformation tool, as in the case of the more known process of burnishing. The analysis of the vibrorolling process showed that the simplest and the most accessible way of changing the process results could be based by considering the workpiece peripheral rotation speed and the longitudinal feed, respectively. An experimental research was proposed and performed to establish some empirical mathematical models that highlight the influence exerted by the workpiece peripheral rotation speed and by the longitudinal feed on the values of theRasurface roughness parameter and on the thickness of the hardened surface layer at the ball vibrorolling of the external cylindrical surfaces. The investigation considered also the influence of the distance from the test sample surface on the variation of the Vickers microhardness in the test sample superficial layer.

Data Processing for Ship Screw Propellers Measurements
Authors: Savu Tom
Published: June 2019

A data acquisition system was developed for measuring standardised ship propeller’s parameters. The hardware consists of two linear and one rotary encoder, all sending the data to a counter/timer data acquisition board. The software is first aligning the different coordinates systems of the propeller and of the three encoders . Data processing is initially performed for compensating the effects of different encoders’ resolutions. There are then computed the blade profile’s length and the coordinates of the points belonging to the blades’ reference lines, together with the local pitch variations on each radius and blade, the mean pitch per blade and the mean pitch of the propeller. A discussion is made about choosing the most appropriate number of points where the local pitch is computed, thus providing useful data for estimating the best way for propeller’s overhauling.

Polymer-Modified Calcium-Aluminate Macro Defect Free (MDF) Cements
Authors: Dell’Aversano Raffaella
Published: June 2019

Cementitious Macro Defect Free (MDF) materials can be obtained in complex forms with high performance making these materials suitable for applications in many sectors. The low water to cement ratio, w/c, and the saturation of voids by means of water soluble polymers allows increasing the cement strength. However, in their standard form these materials show both the sensitivity typical of water-soluble polymers, presenting a low glass transition temperature (Tg), and the brittle behavior typical of ceramic materials and therefore low toughness. The aim of this work is to modify with various techniques the standard formulation of MDF materials by modulating toughness from a brittle to a ductile behavior. In addition, the effect of the recipes modifications will be analyzed by comparing the rheological characteristics along the processing stages.

Low vision" is a pathological condition caused by an ocular illness in which the visual acuity is 20/70 or less in the better eye and cannot be corrected or enhanced with ordinary glasses (spectacles). Most visually impaired people have some degree of instability, which highlights the need for some help, both for travel and for support in standing. Existing systems are complex, useful, diversified in relation to patient requirements, fixed or mobile, but all require manual use that limits mobility and accessibility. In this research we propose a portable system designed as a structure created by 3D printing of thermoplastic materials and composite materials. Inside of this structure, optimized as an assembly space, the electronic system is designed for guidance and warning actions adapted to the patient with low vision. The system is designed to be easy to use, to have a very low weight and to be adaptable to any anthropometric dimension of patient or mobility space. The thermoplastic and composite materials, as well as the 3D printing technology, allow, for a low weight and an affordable price, to obtain a system that gives more stability and mobility to patients with low vision or blindness.

Authors: Druga Corneliu Nicolae , Rosca Ileana Constanta , Necula Radu
Published: June 2019

The UHMWPE acetabular cups are the most popular joints for joint prostheses after Charnley introduced UHMWPE for the acetabular component in 1962. It has been demonstrated that polyethylene wear remains the main source of particles in the THR and therefore requires particular attention. The paper presents a series of theoretical and practical aspects regarding the wear of acetabular cups (made of UHMWPE) from the total hip prosthesis component. At the same time, the other tribological phenomena that occur in these MoP (metal on polyethylene) combinations are treated, such as lubrication and friction. Total Hip Replacement & Hip Resurfacing A hip replacement involves replacing the hip joint with a mechanical bearing system which is comprised of a femoral component and an acetabular component. During a hip replacement the acetabulum is reamed and the acetabular component is fitted into the cavity and the femoral component can either be placed over a reamed femoral head, in a procedure referred to as hip resurfacing, or positioned inside the femoral shaft during a total hip replacement [1].

Authors: Dumitriu Mădălina , Stănică Dragoş Ionuţ
Published: June 2019

The paper features the results of a numerical study regarding the influence that the damping reduction in the primary suspension of the rail vehicle, due to the defect in a damper, has on the ride comfort. The study is based on model of rigid-flexible coupled vehicle, with seven degrees of freedom, where the carbody is modelled as an Euler-Bernoulli type equivalent beam. The results of the numerical simulations show the power spectral density of carbody vertical accceleration and the ride index comfort calculated in three carbody reference points - at the centre and against the bogies, for various cases of reduction in the damping constant of the primay suspension in the axle, compared to the reference value. As a function of velocity, due to the geometric filtering effect, the damping reduction has contrary effects upon the level of vibrations in the carbody and upon the ride comfort.
