Published: October 2022

Abstract: Now, fighting a fire in rugged mountain terrains or high building windows fire is difficult and dangerous for firefighters. High buildings containing floors at height, and reaching the position for deployment of external firefighting equipment and rescue operations may not be easy it takes some time, and fire will spread easily during that period. Meanwhile reaching farms located in rugged mountains, and terrains with firefighting vehicles are often impossible because of rugged road conditions and traffic. From this perspective view, to meet the need for a fast way to extinguish the fire in an area to be approached by using drone technology and to give safety for the public and firefighters. The fire extinguishing technique is detailed in this paper. The system is structured with six frames. Hexacopter (with release mechanism), Fire extinguishing ball, collision avoidance system. Hexacopter will carry a specific payload and be capable of throwing an extinguishing in an area that is chosen by the operator. This system has been implemented, constructed, and tested in a practical session. The results demonstrate the feasibility of drones in extinguishing fire in its initial stages, dropping a CO2 ball, and can fly back to firefighters for the next round.

Published: October 2022

Abstract: The global energy demand is going to increase by over 60% in the upcoming decades. Thus, the alternative form of energy should be investigated. The only energy preferable will be a renewable form of energy which includes wind, solar, biomass, and waste generated through human activities. The most useful alternative to fossil fuels in generating clean energy is solar energy. However, the extraction of maximum energy from the sun is quite difficult. This paper includes a comprehensive review of simple parabolic trough collectors along with geometrical analysis, thermal efficiency, and applications. The applications of PTC include water desalination, water heating, increasing the performance that can be utilized for steam generation, etc.

Published: October 2022

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the structural relationships among instructor-student interaction, self-directed English learning ability, task value influencing learning satisfaction and to analyze the mediating effects among them in online college English class.
Methods To achieve this goal, the structural equation modeling was conducted and the mediating effect was verified by using bootstrapping method based on the web-survey questionnaire data of 203 members of online English class.
Results The results were as follows: the structural relationship among the variables was established except learning satisfaction. Second, self-directed English learning ability and task value had a direct effect on learning satisfaction. Third, instructor-student interaction had an indirect effect on learning satisfaction through learners' self-directed learning ability and task value respectively.
Conclusions The result suggests that instructor-student interaction, self-directed English learning ability, task value should be improved to increase L2 learners' learning satisfaction in the online English class environment.
Survey and Structuralization of the Demand for Beauty Curriculum as an Elective Subject by the Introduction of the 2022 Revisded Curriculum and High School Credit System
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Sang-Won , Jung Jae-Hyung
Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this survey is to examine the demand of general high school students for beauty subjects, which are elective subjects following the introduction of the high school credit system, and to seek operation plans.
Methods From May to June 2022, 418 general high school students in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon were surveyed on pre-understanding of the high school credit systems, preferred institutions, curriculum types, evaluation methods, and subjects.
Results The perception of the high school credit system was similar regardless of region. The preferred institutions were in the order of college, specialized high school, industry, general high school, and online classes. While the types of preferred curriculum were in the order of career subjects, convergence education, and major subjects, the group that chose “hope” preferred major subjects, and the group that chose “worry” preferred career subjects. It was found that absolute evaluation and performance evaluation were preferred, and paper-written evaluation was avoided. It was found that students were lack of awareness in supplementary program, but they hoped the program to be operated. Their preferred subjects were found to be interest-oriented classes such as hair coloring, basic beauty, basic makeup, and facial care classes.
Conclusions It is necessary to make students recognize the purpose of the operation of the high school credit system and to prepare a learning environment in which practical conditions are established. It is suggested that classes should be classified by level based on students’ needs. Beauty subjects should be offered, considering whether they can induce students’ various learning experiences, career exploration and interest. Specific policies should be established for smooth curriculum management. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that the beauty curriculum will be activated as elective subjects, and the necessity of follow-up research on specific operation plans is suggested.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Ye Hong , Lee You-Me , Lee Sang-Mi
Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of parental attachment on the relationships between mothers’ parental monitoring and children’s media device addiction among 11-year old children.
Methods In this study, Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between mother’s parental monitoring and parental attachment and children’s media device addiction by analyzing data from the 12th year of the Korean Children’s Panel(N=948). A hierarchical regression analysis was performed to verify the effect of controlling parental attachment on the relationship between addiction to media devices.
Results First, the average level of mothers’ parental monitoring was high with a rating of 4.68(SD=.54), the average level of parental attachment was middle with a rating of 3.84(SD=.56), and the average level of children’s media device addition was low with a rating of 1.70(SD=.45). Second, it was found that there was an overall negative correlation between mothers’ parental monitoring, adolescent’s attachment with parent and children’s media device addiction. Third, mothers’ parental monitoring had a negative(-) effect on children’s media device addiction, and it was found that the moderating effect of parental attachment was significant on their relationship. In other words, the group with low parental attachment slowed down the influence of mothers’ parental monitoring to lower children’s media device addiction, as a result, it suggests that the possibility of media device addiction is high.
Conclusions The purpose of this study was to prove that children with higher parental attachment and trusting their parents that mothers’ parental monitoring was effective and the tendency to addicted to media devices was lowered. The results of this study are meaningful in investigating the importance of a healthy family environment and the attachment relationship between children and parents as a way to prevent media device addiction in elementary school children who are exposed to a lot of media.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Seulki , Kye Seunghee
Published: October 2022

Objectives This study was conducted to understand the nutrition education reality among nutrition teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools and examine the awareness and demand for non-face-to-face online nutrition education.
Methods The subjects of this study were 158 nutrition teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. For the collected data, the Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, or independent sample t-test were performed according to the analysis items using SPSS Statistics version 26.0.
Results The study showed that nutrition education was more prominent in elementary than middle and high schools. The lack of time due to overwork in nutrition teachers was suggested as the main reason for the failure to provide nutrition education. As the methods of implementing nutrition education, it was found that there were many direct education methods in the form of lectures during discretionary activity time in elementary schools, whereas indirect education methods using school newsletter were common in middle and high schools. As for the contents of nutrition education in schools for the past year, a balanced diet, good eating habits, and table manner were taught in the lower grades of elementary school, and food poisoning management was educated in the upper grades of elementary school. In addition, the proportions of contents on a balanced diet, obesity prevention and weight management, food poisoning management, food hygiene, eating blandly, and nutrition labeling were high in middle school. There was a high level of education in high school on healthy snack intake, obesity prevention and weight management, and nutrition labeling. Less than half of the study subjects experienced online nutrition education. The limitations of online nutrition education were the lack of a sense of presence with learners in online nutrition education and the restrictions on activity classes such as practice and experience. The highest percentage responded that various content levels are needed to be provided as a measure to improve online nutrition education.
Conclusions Based on the results of this study, measures to activate online nutrition education are needed to be performed non-face-to-face in preparation for the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

Objetivo: evaluar el desempeño de la escala Severe Community Acquired Pneumonia (SCAP) en pacientes con neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC) para la predicción de muerte intrahospitalaria, a 30 días, requerimiento de ventilación mecánica invasiva (VMi) y de soporte vasopresor. Metodología: estudio de cohorte retrospectivo con análisis de prueba diagnóstica de la escala SCAP en pacientes con NAC conforme a los criterios de la American Thoracic Society (ATS) y la Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). Se estimó una escala SCAP adicional reemplazando la PaO2/FiO2<250 por la SpO2/ FiO2<400. Se calcularon los OR crudos y ajustados por cada variable de los puntajes con los desenlaces de interés, así como las áreas bajo la curva de la característica operativa del receptor (ACOR). Se compararon las ACOR con la prueba De-Long, considerando una p<0,05 estadísticamente significativa. Resultados: se incluyeron 1795 pacientes en el análisis definitivo, 13,6% fallecieron en el hospital y 15% en el seguimiento a 30 días, 10,8% requirieron VMi y 11,4% soporte vasopresor. La sensibilidad de la escala SCAP para la predicción de los cuatro desenlaces previamente mencionados fue mayor que la del puntaje CURB-65. El rendimiento de la escala no se modifica al emplear como criterio la SpO2/FiO2<400. Conclusiones: la escala SCAP presenta un buen desempeño para la predicción de los desenlaces clínicos en neumonía, manteniendo su rendimiento cuando se utiliza la SpO2/FiO2<400.

Published: October 2022

Despite the ubiquity of Aspergillus species, and the fact that a person may inhale hundreds of conidia daily, only a small proportion of patients develop an infectious disease. Aspergillus spp. can cause a wide spectrum of diseases, depending on the patient’s underlying immune function; these range from an allergic syndrome, (which does not represent a true infection), a hypersensitivity reaction (ABPA), a chronic process (CPA) or invasive aspergillosis (IA). All diseases associated with Aspergillus spp. have the potential to be misdiagnosed because symptoms and/or clinical findings overlap with each other, or with other non-fungal conditions. Greater clinical recognition of the different pulmonary syndromes is needed to identify those patients who could benefit from an appropriate therapeutic approach. Multidisciplinary management is required, where the role of antifungal therapy is only established for symptomatic and/or progressive disease management, taking into account the potential for azole resistance, which adds to the complexity of treatment and, in some cases, limits therapeutic options.

Published: October 2022

La raya mariposa Gymnura micrura es capturada directa e indirectamente en el golfo de México. Para conocer su historia de vida, se determinó la edad y se estimaron los parámetros de crecimiento en 96 hembras capturadas durante octubre 2015 a septiembre 2016. La edad se asignó siguiendo protocolos convencionales comparando los conteos entre lectores y asumiendo una formación anual de las bandas de crecimiento. Mediante la técnica de retrocálculo, se estimaron tallas de individuos pequeños faltantes en la muestra. El modelo de von Bertalanffy fue ajustado a los datos edad-talla observados y agregando los retrocalculados. El intervalo de tallas varió de 48-89 cm de ancho de disco (AD). La relación entre el tamaño corporal y el tamaño de la vértebra es adecuadamente explicada mediante una regresión lineal (r= 0,81, P < 0,05). La edad máxima estimada fue de 11 años en un individuo de 88 cm AD. De acuerdo con el índice CIA (Criterio de Información de Akaike), agregar los datos retrocalculados no mejoró el ajuste del modelo. Los parámetros estimados a los datos observados fueron AD∞= 91,05 cm, k= 0,22 años-1 y AD0= 21,09 cm. Esta es la primera aproximación para conocer la edad de esta especie y es el inicio del entendimiento de su historia de vida y dinámica poblacional.

Authors: P Hepsibha , S M K Karthickeyan , V Judia Harriet Sumathy
Published: October 2022

A study was aimed to evaluate a set of polymorphic microsatellite markers for their efficiency in testing parentage in Jersey crossbred cattle available in Tamil Nadu. The objective of validation was based on the criteria such as polymorphism information content, various genetic diversity parameters and the ability of markers to exclude the wrong parent. A total of 21 microsatellite markers were included to verify the parentage in 24 Jersey crossbred trios (comprising 24 dams, 24 progenies and 2 sires). The microsatellite loci were amplified using fluorescently labelled primers by multiplex PCR and fragment analysis was done through capillary electrophoresis using automated DNA analyzer. Statistical analyses were done using Pop gene version 1.31, CERVUS 3.0.7 and GENALEX 6.503 software programs. The number of alleles for the markers utilized in the study ranged from 4 (ILSTS11) to 12 (INRA23 and TGLA122) with an overall mean of 8.0952 ± 0.47 alleles per locus. The markers also exhibited high expected heterozygosity (He) and polymorphism information content (PIC) ranging from 0.6362 (ETH3) to 0.8629 (SPS115) with a mean of 0.7681 ± 0.013 and 0.592(ETH3) to 0.83(CSSM66) with a mean of 0.7256±0.014 respectively, signifying them to be highly informative. Low overall probability of identity (PI) of 0.0943 ± 0.008 and high overall probability of exclusion (PE) of 0.9619±0.02 with the increasing locus combinations were observed. The probability of exclusion was cent per cent (PE=1.0000) when a combination of 8 markers were used with one known parent and a combination of 12 markers when excluding a putative pair, suggesting the efficacy and suitability of the markers used in the study for parentage testing on Jersey crossbreds of Tamil Nadu.

Although how rare species persist in communities is a major ecological
question, the critical phenotypic dimension of rarity is broadly
overlooked. Recent work has shown that evaluating functional
distinctiveness, the average trait distance of a species to other
species in a community, offers essential insights into biodiversity
dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and biological conservation. However,
the ecological mechanisms underlying the persistence of functionally
distinct species are poorly understood. Here we propose a heterogeneous
fitness landscape framework, whereby functional dimensions encompass
peaks representing trait combinations that yield positive intrinsic
growth rates in a community. We identify four fundamental causes leading
to the persistence of functionally distinct species in a community.
First, environmental heterogeneity or alternative phenotypic designs can
drive positive population growth of functionally distinct species.
Second, sink populations with negative growth can deviate from local
fitness peaks and be functionally distinct. Third, species found at the
margin of the fitness landscape can persist but be functionally
distinct. Fourth, biotic interactions (either positive or negative) can
dynamically alter the fitness landscape. We offer examples of these four
cases and some guidelines to distinguish among them. In addition to
these deterministic processes, we also explore how stochastic dispersal
limitation can yield functional distinctiveness.
Phylogeny more than plant height and leaf area explains variance in seed mass
Authors: Yi Xianfeng , Yu Fei , Wang Yang , Zhang Hongmao , Wang Yingnan
Published: October 2022

Although the leaf-height-seed (LHS) scheme states that plant height and
leaf area are closely correlated with seed mass; phylogeny, genome size,
growth form, and leaf N may also explain variations in seed mass. Till
now, there has been little information on the relative contributions of
these factors. We compiled data consisting of 1071 plant species from
the literature to quantify the relationships between seed mass,
explanatory variables and phylogeny. Strong phylogenetic signals of
these explanatory variables reflected inherited ancestral traits of the
plant species. Without controlling phylogeny, growth form and leaf N are
associated with seed mass. However, this association disappeared when
accounting for phylogeny. Plant height, leaf area, and genome size
showed consistent positive relationship with seed mass irrespective of
phylogeny. Using partial R2s, phylogeny explained 50.89% of the
variance in seed mass, much more than plant height, leaf area, genome
size, leaf N, and growth form explaining only 7.39%, 0.58%, 1.85%,
0.06% and 0.09%, respectively. Our study is the first to disentangle
the contributions of phylogeny and plant attributes to the variance in
seed mass, providing a novel avenue for better understanding variation
in traits across plant species.

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is one option of many free-tissue flaps that is frequently selected to reconstruct defects of the head and neck. It is popular due to its relatively thin and pliable associated soft tissue, reliable supplying vasculature, and appropriate diameter and length of the supplying vessels to perform microvascular anastomosis. This case report describes the use of the RFFF to reconstruct an oral cavity defect following tumor resection in a patient who required adjustment of the typical RFFF design. This patient has a significant psychiatric history leading to self-induced forearm lacerations that resulted in substantial scarring of her bilateral forearms in the anatomical area typically included in the RFFF. Since the RFFF was the optimal reconstructive option for this patient, the design of the RFFF was able to be moved proximally up her forearm to avoid inclusion of the scars in the flap. Adequate blood flow of the ulnar artery was confirmed with an Allen’s test preoperatively to ensure the radial artery could be taken as part of the RFFF without causing ischemia of the hand. Following surgical resection of the patient’s tumor, the RFFF was harvested and inset to reconstruct the resulting oral cavity defect. The patient has had no complications following her resection and reconstruction to date. This report highlights the adaptability of the RFFF, allowing adjustments to typical flap design to optimize outcomes for each individualized patient.

Despite a well characterized mechanism, Myasthenia gravis (MG) remains a dilemma in terms of etiology. Several case reports and series of cases suggest a potential cause-effect relation between SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination and MG. We present the case of an autoimmune MG occurring post Covid-19 in an elderly male, vaccinated with three doses of the BNT162b2/Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The 78-year-old male was admitted in the Neurology Clinic in early November 2021 with double vision, bilateral ptosis, dysphonia and dysphagia, 16 days after receiving a third dose of the BNT162b2/Pfizer-BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and 12 days after testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The symptoms began to emerge at 9 days after COVID-19 diagnosis. Clinical neurological examination included ice-pack test and intramuscular neostigmine, both with positive results. Myasthenia gravis positive diagnosis was confirmed by slow repetitive nerve stimulation and abnormally increased serum levels of antibodies against acetylcholine receptors. Due to patient’s refusal of further hospitalization, he was discharged with therapy recommendations. Under treatment with oral pyridostigmine, but no oral corticosteroid due to therapeutic noncompliance, the patient was readmitted two months later with aggravated symptoms. The myasthenic crisis was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulins, corticosteroid therapy and oral pyridostigmine. The novelty of the current case resides in the fact that, to the best of our knowledge, appears to be the first case of MG clinically manifested after COVID-19 infection in a fully vaccinated patient.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic is related to a higher incidence of myocarditis; we present a case series of seven patients, admitted with COVID-19 related acute myocarditis, evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, showing an altered profile of the free wall of the right ventricle, no longer present after six months follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven patients have been evaluated for COVID-19 related acute myocarditis, all patients have been evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging both in the acute setting and after six months follow-up. RESULTS: In the acute phase, myocarditis was confirmed in keeping with the current diagnostic criteria. In five out of seven cases, the presence of a crinkling profile of the free wall of the right ventricle was observed; at six months follow up, remission in four out of the five cases and a significant reduction in the remaining case, of the previously described findings, was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Crinkling appearance in the profile of the free wall of the right ventricle, detectable with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, might represent a morphological feature present in the acute setting of COVID-19 related myocarditis; several underlying physiopathological mechanisms are conceivable. Further studies are needed to confirm this correlation, define the underlying mechanisms and the prognostic implication related to it. This is the first report in the literature that has considered such findings to the best of our knowledge.
Separating Auditor-Provided Tax Planning and Tax Compliance Services: Audit Quality Implications
Authors: Chyz James A. , Gal-Or Ronen , Naiker Vic
Published: October 2022

This study uses a unique dataset that separates tax nonaudit services (NAS) into tax planning and compliance NAS to examine how audit quality is affected by these two types of tax NAS. Our main results, which account for decisions to purchase and disclose the breakdown of tax NAS, show that audit quality is unaffected by tax planning NAS but is positively associated with tax compliance NAS. These findings suggest that the knowledge spillovers between tax NAS and audit quality documented in prior studies are attributable to tax compliance NAS. Additional tests reveal that the effect of tax compliance NAS is amplified by auditor industry expertise. Also, tax planning NAS in the presence of powerful chief executive officers (CEOs) and audit firm culture that relies on client advocacy has a negative effect on audit quality. These latter findings are consistent with engagement-level tax planning NAS degrading audit quality in certain settings.

The Association between PCAOB Inspection Reports and Seasoned Equity Offering Discounting
Authors: Abbott Lawrence J. , Buslepp William L. , Moon James R. , Swenson Laura A.
Published: October 2022

We examine the association between Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection reports and a firm’s cost of equity capital, measured using seasoned equity offering (SEO) discounting. SEO discounting occurs when the offer price is lower than the prior day’s market price of the firm’s shares and represents “money left on the table” for issuing firms. We document an economically significant, positive association between SEO discounting and the use of an auditor found to be deficient by the PCAOB for clients of triennially inspected auditors. Cross-sectional evidence suggests that this relation is stronger for clients with lower analyst following and disclosed material weaknesses in financial reporting controls, and weaker if the auditor issues a going concern modification. Our evidence is consistent with PCAOB inspections providing meaningful information about audit quality to market participants, particularly for clients of smaller, triennially inspected auditors.

Published: October 2022

Information on depressive symptoms among patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) undergoing systemic treatment in a real-world setting is scarce. This prospective real-world clinical cohort study analysed data from SwedAD, a Swedish national register comprising patients with AD undergoing systemic treatment. Data were collected at baseline (n = 120) and at follow-up at 6 months (range 3–9 months, n = 59), and 12 months (10 months or later, n = 36). Depression was assessed with the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale-Self-report (MADRS-S) and AD with the Eczema Area Severity Index, the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure, the Dermatology Life Quality Index and evaluation of pruritus. More than half of patients with moderate-to-severe AD had depressive symptoms at baseline, 24% presented with moderate-to-severe depression and 3% had pronounced suicidal ideation. Systemic treatment of AD significantly reduced both depression and AD symptoms at 6 months, and this positive effect remained at 12 months. In conclusion, depressive symptoms are common among adults with moderate-to-severe AD. Systemic treatment of AD significantly reduced depressive symptoms in parallel with AD symptoms.
Persigo a un colibrí de la hermosura, lo sagrado en el espacio poético y el espacio poético como sagrado en Amelia Biagioni
Authors: Falcón Ana Rodriguez
Published: October 2022

Amelia Biagioni, poeta argentina nacida en 1916 y fallecida en el año 2000, es tan fundamental para la poesía argentina contemporánea como lo es para Portugal Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. Con el trabajo que aquí presentamos intentaremos realizar una pequeña introducción a su persona y a su obra, para luego ingresar en uno de los ejes que atraviesan su poesía, específicamente, el del camino poético-literario como espacio de encuentro con la belleza, con el otro (humano/ divino) y con la propia identidad, realidades que en Biagioni son fundamentales, pero nunca definitivas o preestablecidas. Al contrario, toda su poesía es movimiento, sed, y búsqueda en respuesta a un llamado vital, de una promesa que se torna fugitiva y huidiza. Para el análisis nos centraremos en su último libro publicado Región de fugas (1995), específicamente en uno de sus poemas "Al Rey sin fin" del cual surge el verso citado en el título de nuestro trabajo: "Persigo a un colibrí de la hermosura"
“Ó flor que é impossível ver”
Authors: Moreira Helder
Published: October 2022

Reconhecida pela torrencialidade discursiva, a poesia de Ruy Belo assume em Toda a Terra, de 1976, os seus traços mais excêntricos. O presente artigo analisará o contributo da associação metonímica para o desenvolvimento da obra em questão, partindo da hipótese de que este tropo assume uma dimensão matricial na poética de Ruy Belo. A metonímia funciona, então, não apenas como figura de retórica, mas como processo cognitivo que orienta o sentido anagógico subjacente a toda a escrita beliana e que, em Toda a Terra, atinge o grau máximo de concretização. À insuficiência da linguagem para chegar a uma transcendência ou a uma totalidade por si própria anunciada, a poesia de Ruy Belo contrapõe um excesso de palavras — uma excentricidade contínua alimentada por um princípio gerador estável — na busca de uma palavra-total simbolizada pela “flor”.
“Só a antropofagia nos une”. Missa dos Quilombos a partir de uma (est)ética antropofágica
Authors: Campos Sebastião Lindoberg da Silva
Published: October 2022

Já no Modernismo brasileiro Oswald de Andrade colocou o desafio de se pensar uma ontologia nacional a partir de uma leitura antropofágica da realidade histórica. A sua tese fincava raízes no reconhecimento traumático do contato civilizacional dos povos e na aceitação substancial da herança antropológica dos povos originários. Para além de um devaneio poético ou estética literária, o tema da antropofagia requer o corpo como elemento em que a história se faz e se realiza. Se é verdade a assertiva que “só a antropofagia nos une”, então nos colocamos diante de um “olhar o mundo” a partir da perspectiva dos corpos que se encontram e se rechaçam mutuamente. Sendo a compreensão da história nacional baseada no embate de forças das relações de poder e subordinação, a tese oswaldiana pode se dirigir à conclusão de encontrar na antropofagia uma mediação para um entendimento substancial da questão humana. Nessa perspectiva e tendo em consideração o desafio de reavaliar uma epistemologia a partir destas questões, poderíamos interrogar que acontecimentos históricos poderiam apontar para a realização de sua tese? Um caminho proposto, que conjuga a substancialização dos elementos históricos herdados do encontro traumático seria a famosa, e não menos polêmica, Missa dos Quilombos. Sendo uma síntese do encontro entre o corpo colonizador e o corpo colonizado, a Missa converte-se num campo de possibilidades que mergulha profundamente em nossas raízes culturais e extrai daí sua matéria de reavaliação. Sob o signo do chicote, açoite e sangue derramado que marcam a nossa herança a partir da escrita dos corpos no tempo histórico, a Missa dos Quilombos nos convida a um novo olhar sobre o humano e nossa própria história. Revivendo na carne do povo negro os dramas históricos, a Missa dos Quilombos celebrava uma utopia que extrapolava os limites de uma estética ritualística e se efetivava numa ética humana. Revisitar esse ritual nos permite lançar luzes sobre o conceito oswaldiano de antropofagia e sua “existência palpável da vida”, ressignificando, desta forma, a própria concepção cristã de alteridade, a qual requer, obrigatoriamente, o corpo em sua constituição.
peregrinaje dantesco
Authors: Campana Silvia
Published: October 2022

Dante Alighieri, “el sumo poeta, profeta de esperanza, testigo de sed infinito” (Papa Francisco) nos invita a sumergirnos en su obra cumbre, La Divina Comedia, en las profundidades del hombre, en un viaje que conduce a través de las luces y sombras que tanto él como nosotros, hoy, experimentamos en este camino de la vida.

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita, mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, che la diritta via era smarrita. […] Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate. Estos versos nos remiten al peregrino que forja su vida en cada paso y en la acción desea, elige, sufre, ama. Es en la dinámica existencial donde ontológicamente, como una fuente, la fuente del ser, se manifiesta el drama de la libertad en el cual todos estamos inmersos. Dante es sujeto de ese drama y nos hace partícipes del mismo. En los cantos centrales del Purgatorio, XVI, XVII y XVIII el poeta canta el dinamismo de la libertad, de la responsabilidad, del bien y el mal en danza y en diálogo interdisciplinario, pero sobre todo existencial.
Elogio da vaidade
Authors: Camacho Carlos Mário Paes
Published: October 2022

A religião ocupou um lugar importante na obra de Machado de Assis. Escrito em 1878, Elogio da vaidade revela a presença do Eclesiastes no texto machadiano. O tema da vaidade presente no conjunto da obra machadiana ganhou a companhia do pessimismo e reforçou no escritor um significado negativo da vida. Dom Hugo de Bressane abordou de forma pioneira o tema da religião na obra do escritor fluminense. No limiar do século XXI ocorreu de modo expressivo, o número de trabalhos sobre a religião em Machado. O Eclesiastes, um dos livros bíblicos mais conhecidos, trata de temas que revelam o cotidiano e a efemeridade da vontade e da vida humana. A rotina de trabalho a qual está submetido o homem que labora sol a sol levanta questões em torno do sentido da vida. O esforço humano é associado à fadiga e ao sofrimento.   Machado faz uma reflexão sobre a vaidade e as vanidades humanas. O conto revela a importância da Bíblia para as reflexões machadianas sobre o pessimismo e o sentido da vida.
pecado na mística de Santa Teresa de Ávila
Authors: Pedrosa-Pádua Lúcia
Published: October 2022

O estudo da mística de Santa Teresa traz importante contribuição para a compreensão do mal provocado pelo pecado. Embora a ênfase de Santa Teresa seja a experiência do amor de Deus e o convite à entrega pessoal e coletiva a este amor, a autora nos apresenta textos contrastantes com esta experiência. O artigo explora textos relevantes, sentidos e experiências teresianas do pecado. Percebe-se a contribuição da mística para a compreensão teológica e existencial da realidade do mal na pessoa, pelo qual há uma recusa a reconhecer a Deus como princípio e fim humanos, profundo sofrimento interior e sérias consequência éticas. A experiência teresiana apresenta uma perspectiva antropológica, não moral, do pecado. O artigo apresenta a realidade do pecado em relação a Deus, explora aspectos do pecado na pessoa humana, demonstra esta realidade como um risco nunca superado na vida espiritual e articula o pecado com a ausência de oração.
publicidade da verdade enquanto ato político zubiriano
Authors: Meinhardt Giovani
Published: October 2022

Os intelectuais que conviveram com Zubiri relatam a ausência de menções sobre a situação política espanhola ou internacional em seu discurso. Essa lacuna foi indevidamente projetada em sua teoria, produzindo a crença de que seu sistema filosófico não contempla a política. Este artigo pretende apresentar o equívoco da questão, demonstrando que Zubiri teoricamente escreveu sobre política através de entidades da sociedade civil como a instituição escolar.
La verdad como proceso histórico
Authors: González Ángel
Published: October 2022

Este artículo es sobre un curso Ellacuría dado en 1973 sobre Hegel e intenta indicar, en primer lugar, que este autor tenía sus propias teorías filosóficas, en las cuales Hegel es tan importante cuanto Zubiri. He intentado ilustrar como la labor filosófica surge de la necesidad de pensar críticamente sobre el momento histórico de la realidad para conceptuarlo y, en ese sentido, evitar que se cierre en sí mismo y se convierta en un ejercicio académico estéril.
corpo como lugar da oração na liturgia do Vaticano II
Authors: Silva Daniel Carvalho , Martins Filho José Reinaldo Felipe
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo coloca em evidência a dimensão antropológica da liturgia. Tal dimensão, propiciada pelo Movimento Litúrgico e acatada pelo Concílio Vaticano II, possibilitou o nascimento da ciência litúrgica e o diálogo aberto com as outras ciências que investigam o rito como parte do fenômeno religioso. Valorizada nos primórdios do cristianismo, negada no medievo e reassumida pelas constituições conciliares Sacrosanctum Concilium e Gaudium et Spes, a corporeidade, como dado litúrgico e também pastoral, tem sido endossada pelo magistério do papa Francisco. Por meio da pesquisa exploratória, o texto a seguir busca compreender como o corpo foi assumido pelas tradições bíblica, cristã e litúrgica e quais implicações essas demonstram ter sobre a concepção atual de corporeidade. Em seguida, busca-se elucidar acerca de como a liturgia atua sobre o corpo e de como o corpo se manifesta na liturgia. O estudo conclui que a ênfase na mediação simbólica que tange os sentidos corpóreos possibilitou afirmar que a liturgia é o modo pelo qual o corpo ora.
ontologia eucarística intersubjetiva
Authors: Bavaresco Agemir , Costa Danilo Vaz-Curado. R. M.
Published: October 2022

A pesquisa assume como hipótese que a eucaristia para garantir sua atualidade na economia do cristianismo, enquanto presença real de Cristo, precisa ser interpretada de modo relacional e intersubjetivo. Como afirmar a presença real de Cristo na eucaristia através do pão e do vinho em sentido eclesiológico e pneumatólogico? Explicita-se, em primeiro lugar, com base em Zeno Carra as insuficiências do modelo tomista-tridentino para a explicação do fato eucarístico, mostrando os problemas metafísicos da assunção da categoria de substância aristotélica por Tomás de Aquino e as dificuldades teológicas oriundas desta escolha por ele. Ao apresentar os limites da leitura substancialista, estática e dualista, o texto recorre, depois, a Hegel para articular uma leitura ontológica da eucaristia desde bases intersubjetivas e relacionais. Enfim, apresenta-se a ontologia eucarística intersubjetiva como ação pneumatológica que une, ao mesmo tempo, o evento da presença real de Cristo e o ato litúrgico eclesiológico realizado em comunidade.
Teologia da eucaristiaem Teilhard de Chardin
Authors: De Fraga Gomes Tiago , Ricardo Berny Machado Everton
Published: October 2022

Na tradição cristã a celebração eucarística sempre ocupou um lugar central. O Concílio Vaticano II reconhece-a como fonte e cume de toda a vida cristã. Embora a Eucaristia ocupe um lugar de grande relevância na fé cristã, a sua compreensão não está isenta de questionamentos propostos pela cultura moderna. Uma reflexão atualizada da teologia da Eucaristia é uma tarefa necessária e permanente para manter viva a fé sacramental da Igreja e expressar de forma atual o que de fato se crê. Contudo, essa reflexão não pode ignorar as contribuições da Sacrosanctum Concilium e a renovação litúrgica das últimas décadas. O presente estudo visa confrontar a contribuição do Concílio Vaticano II com a teologia litúrgico-eucarística do jesuíta Teilhard de Chardin que contribuiu consideravelmente para um diálogo entre ciência e fé. Parte-se da tese de que é possível encontrar pontos afins capazes de propor uma compreensão da Eucaristia na sua dimensão cósmica.
leitura de David Tracy sobre a análise de modelos teológicos
Authors: Zeferino Jefferson , Villas Boas Alex
Published: October 2022

O lugar da teologia no contexto acadêmico, sobretudo na sua relação com as ciências humanas e os estudos da religião, demanda uma reflexão acerca de sua própria voz e sobre seu modo de colaborar com a produção de conhecimento qualificado no conjunto da concepção de conhecimento científico contemporâneo desde a emergência de uma racionalidade pública no século XIX. Em perspectiva interdisciplinar, nota-se que a função teológica de explicitar o funcionamento de um determinado discurso ou modelo teológico pode se configurar em efetiva contribuição para outros saberes que se dedicam ao mesmo fenômeno. Por meio de uma análise bibliográfica, acessa-se o pensamento de David Tracy para ajudar a pensar possíveis critérios para a análise de teologias, como proposta de avanço a um procedimento de análise de tradições teológicas particulares. Na tarefa de um método de correlação entre as hermenêuticas críticas das tradições teológicas e da situação contemporânea, evidencia-se o zelo pela explicitação de suas estruturas de plausibilidade, de seus atores e objetos.
Ecoteologia e juventude
Authors: Conceição Elizeu
Published: October 2022

Este artigo, fruto de pesquisa bibliográfica, garimpadas principalmente do Magistério do Papa Francisco, busca apresentar a reflexão teológica com uma lente ecológica a partir da juventude. Com um projeto do humano integral, busca-se superar o sistema de percepção viciado pelo olhar que tende a ver o real de modo superficial e utilitarista. Nesse sentido, o jovem nos ajuda a ver que a vida não é objeto de consumo, mas contém verdade e beleza própria que é necessário descobrir.
