Pathogenesis and Biomarkers of Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Hurza Viktoria , Vatashchuk Myroslava , Bayliak Maria
Published: July 2022

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a pathologic multifaceted condition characterized by elevated triacylglycerides, decreased high density lipoproteins, insulin resistance, increased blood pressure and fasting glucose. Together these abnormalities increase a risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Overnutrition and sedentary lifestyle followed by overweight and obesity are the main contributing factors to MetS development. The pathogenesis of MetS is very complex and not fully elucidated. The studies support the concept of oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and low-grade inflammation playing main roles in its manifestations. Diagnosis with MetS and the development of MetS complications can be detected and monitored via specific serum biomarkers. In this paper, we describe classical metabolic, hormonal and pro-/anti-inflammatory markers which are the most frequently used for MetS diagnostic and research. They include serum lipid profile (triacylglycerides, total cholesterol, low and high density lipoproteins), blood pressure, fasting glucose and HOMA-IR index, levels of anti-inflammatory adiponectin, pro-inflammatory C-reactive protein and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, etc.). We also analyze advantages of additional criteria such as levels of oxidative damages, appetite hormones (leptin, ghrelin), apolipoproteins and oxylipins, the composition of gut microbiota and levels of microbiome-derived metabolites, the ratios between different parameters as helpful biomarkers of MetS and concomitant cardiovascular diseases.

Published: July 2022

У статті акцентовано увагу на проблемі, що особливо загострилася у сучасному суспільстві в останні десятиліття – нестачі рухової активності та, як наслідку – виникненні гострої потреби у наданні якісних послуг фахівцями з масажу, що є потужним засобом впливу на всі системи організму людини. Зазначено, що лікувальний масаж є ефективним методом фізичної і психоемоційної релаксації, профілактики і лікування різних захворювань, а також косметичною процедурою. Так як масажні прийоми чинять потужний вплив на весь організм, необхідно точно знати, які прийоми, в якому випадку слід застосовувати. Помилки в роботі масажиста можуть стати причиною серйозних порушень в роботі організму, тому, оволодіваючи професією масажиста, необхідно враховувати всі протипоказання та можливі проблеми. Ретельний аналіз науково-методичної і спеціальної літератури, присвяченої темі масажу, свідчить про те, що дана проблема потребує більш глибокого та комплексного осмислення. Якісне теоретичне обґрунтування та класифікація помилок могли б застерегти фахівців від відомих на даний час помилок в роботі, а їх клієнтів – від некваліфікованих масажних послуг. Результати дослідження можуть бути використані в освітньому процесі при навчанні фахівців з масажу з метою підвищення їх кваліфікації, попередивши допущення небажаних помилок.
Entre a realidade e o absurdo
Authors: Medeiras Natália Kanashiro de
Published: July 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar alguns aspectos críticos, representados por meio do topos do mundo às avessas, em As intermitências da morte, de José Saramago. A narrativa do romance apresenta um fato inusitado: o desaparecimento da morte. Diante deste acontecimento absurdo, as personagens apresentam um estado enérgico e eufórico com a perspectiva de viverem na eternidade, entretanto, é neste momento que as expectativas narradas na obra são fraturadas, visto que se depararam com a continuidade dos aspectos problemáticos inerentes ao ser humano: a velhice, a doença, a omissão das instituições e, por último, o caráter narcísico do homem. Em consideração a isso, a realização da análise literária deste estudo foi subsidiada pelo diálogo teórico com os autores: Ariès (2012), Becker (1973), Bloom (2005), Berman (1986), Berrini (1998), Calbucci (1999), Gerth (1977), Hodgart (1969), Huizinga (2015) e Soethe (1998). Em suma, a investigação deste estudo sugere como resultado a utilização de recursos particularmente expressivos, como o mundo às avessas, para os comentários críticos na construção da narrativa saramaguiana, com vistas a realizar denúncias sociais.

A rádio Fronteira do Sul (1940-1975)
Authors: Silva Camila de Almeida
Published: July 2022

O fio condutor desta pesquisa é a rádio Fronteira do Sul, de sua fundação em 1940 até sua dissolução em 1975. A emissora foi, durante sua existência, a única rádio da cidade de São Borja na Fronteira Oeste do Rio Grande do Sul. Sua trajetória é marcante, principalmente pelo envolvimento do ex-presidente João Goulart, um dos maiores acionistas na emissora. A Fronteira do Sul sofreu forte repressão durante a Ditadura Civil-Militar Brasileira, mesmo após a doação de todas as ações de João Goulart a seus funcionários, a repressão nunca assimilou o encerramento do vínculo. Com isso, é o objetivo deste artigo evidenciar a atuação da emissora que resistiu aos desmandos advindos da repressão e dos eventos que levaram ao encerramento de suas atividades, bem como destacar a história da rádio, sua formação e a história e memória de alguns sócios/funcionários.
Onomatopoeias in a graphic novel and the ways of their rendering from Finnish into Russian (on the material of comics “Kalevala” by S. Makkonen)
Authors: Bratchikova Nadezhda S.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The article discusses the features of onomatopoeia and alliteration in the genre of graphic novel on the example of the work on the translation of the comics “Kalevala”. The author analyzes the phonostylistic techniques of the graphic novel “Kalevala” by S. Makkonen, studies the potential of onomatopoeic complexes, analyses the emotional components of onomatopoeia and their role in creating the perlocutionary effect of the comic.
Materials and Methods. Research material includes onomatopoeia, which autonomously formalize speech acts of comic book characters, as well as alliteration. The focus is on the pragmatic potential of onomatopoeia, which is revealed in combination with a verbal component and illustrative material. The analysis of empirical material is carried out based on the methods of linguistic description of qualitative, quantitative, and functional-semantic characteristics of the actual material.
Results and Discussion. Onomatopoeia in comics participates in the formation of speech acts. The most numerous groups of onomatopoeia in the novel by S. Makkonen are represented by onomatopoeic combinations that convey the state of nature and the emotions of the characters. Their choice is motivated by the of the author to describe the underground, hostile to man world of Pohjola. Inarticulate sounds of nature are transmitted by means of human language with a certain system and traditions of visual means. Studies have shown that in onomatopoetic words there is a distant connection between sound and meaning. Sounds are semanticized and given meaning in a specific context.
Conclusion. In the Finnish language, onomatopoeia complexes remain a relatively little-studied topic, which indicates the prospects and relevance of works devoted to phonosemantics and onomatopoeic words.
“Wood” symbolism in the decoration of the Udmurt costume: origins, existence, meaning
Authors: Molchanova Ludmila A.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The article analyzes the semantics of the tree-like figures of the traditional female costume. The purpose of the work is to determine the origins of this image in the Udmurt ornamentation.
Materials and Methods. The work uses the method of structural-semiotic analysis, allowing to consider costume ornament as a sign-symbolic system.
Results and Discussion. The two prototypes that arose back in the period of the formation of human mentality: a woman and a totemic beast, formed the basis of the mythopoetic symbol of the world tree. Complex of Udmurt vorshud concentrated and preserved the echoes of the most ancient cult of a female – progenitor, endowed with a totem name. Each Udmurt clan had its own vorshud name. This name was associated with a natural totem, belonged to women of the clan, and passed down from generation to generation through the female line. A vorshud name was given to the ancestral territory, and its sacred center – vorshud in the sanctuary of kua. Vorshud demonstrates two key ideas of the world tree: connection and continuity of generations and the center of ancestral territory.
Conclusion. During the study, the connection between the tree symbols of the costume ornament with the cult of Udmurt vorshud and the symbolism of the world tree was revealed. Therefore, it reveals the origins and semantics of wooden symbols in the Udmurt costume ornament.
A person and the world in a Mordovian folk tale (in comparison with folktales of other ethnic cultures)
Authors: Osmushina Anastasia A.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The effectiveness of the research of folklore for the cognition of the cosmo-psycho-logos of the ethnos determines the relevance of this work. The research novelty of this study is studying Erzya and Moksha folk tales with the application of deixis analysis of folk tales with similar plots circulating in various ethnic groups. The object of the study is the texts of the Erzya and Moksha fairy tales with the plot motif “Tom Thumb” in comparison with Russian, German, English, Spanish and Latin American fairy tales with a similar plot. The subject of the research is the features of ontology, axiology, anthropology of Erzya and Moksha in a fairy tale. The purpose of the work is to identify the ontological, axiological and anthropological features of the Mordovian fairy tale. The objectives of the study are to perform a deixis analysis of the texts of several variants of the Mordovian fairy tale and its foreign-ethnic counterparts; identify their similarities and differences; to formulate the ontological, axiological and anthropological features of the Mordovian fairy tale.
Materials and Methods. To achieve the purpose of the study, the author carried out a comparative content analysis of the deixis of seven fairy tales with the leading plot motif “Tom Thumb”. The author applies the method of critical selection of sources choosing the authentic versions of folk tales. General research methods allow the author to analyze and systematize the information obtained and synthesize the conclusions.
Results and Discussion. All the considered folk tales record the tragedy of the absence of children in an ethnic family, the desirability of procreation as children are the happiness and the meaning of human life. The Erzya folk tale demonstrates the local-common solidarity, the fight against aggressive authorities, and armed restorative justice. In the Moksha fairy tale, there is a motif of deception by a deceiver as a form of restorative justice to improve the financial situation of the family. Both in the Erzya and Moksha fairy tales, the intention of returning home in an indirect way and living in labor in one’s place of development is realized.
Conclusion. A comparative analysis of the deixis of fairy tales of different ethnic groups with a similar plot makes it possible to identify the general and special in the content of fairy tales, to determine the features of the ontology, axiology, and anthropology of the ethnic group. The study showed that the ontological, axiological and anthropological features of the Erzya and Moksha fairy tales are close, but not identical; it revealed similarities and differences with the fairy tales of other ethnic cultures.

Fatigue damage analysis of pavements under autonomous truck tire passes
Authors: Fahad Mohammad , Nagy Richard
Published: July 2022

Two different tire configurations consisting of a dual tire and a super single wide tire having different range and distribution of contact pressures have been analyzed. Along with the effect of speed on development of pavement damage at speeds of 5, 50 and 80 km h−1 under zero and uniform wander modes. Results show that at super slow speeds of 5 km h−1, at dual wheel moving at zero wander mode, decrease in fatigue life of the pavement is 3.5 years, which is 1.45 times more than the dual wheel moving at uniform wander and 3.4 times more than wide tire moving at uniform wander mode. The difference between fatigue damage at different lateral wander modes is prominent at speeds greater than 50 km h−1. A wide tire performs better than the dual wheel under zero wander configurations.

Autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and netosis in pathogenesis of immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases
Authors: Saidov M. Z.
Published: July 2022

There are organized forms of cellular infiltrate observed in immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases, i.e., ectopic follicle-like lymphoid structures and delayed-type response granulomas, whereas diffuse cellular inflammatory infiltrates represent non-organized forms. In these types of cellular infiltration, an integral pathogenetic link includes programmable cell death variants, with autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and netosis being the most significant. There is a close relationship between these forms of cell death. This relationship occured in the process of biological evolution, being characterized by pronounced conservatism, and it follows general biological laws of molecular cellular processes. The “danger signals” (DAMPs) released during cell death induce a state of autoreactivity caused, e.g., by modulation of cell death processes using cellular PRR receptors of the innate immune system. When analyzing the processes of endocytosis, signaling pathways, adaptive molecules, transcription factors involved into these modes of cell death, we discuss pathogenetic role of changing membrane structures and molecular pathways of programmed cell death in immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases. In this regard, there are fundamental membrane-associated cellular processes, genesis of various types of intracellular inflammasomes, cross-presentation of MHC-restricted products of disorganized loose fibrous connective tissue, and induction of innate and adaptive immune autoreactivity. Causal relationships of the molecular pathways for initiation of these forms of cell death, thus enabling identification of the molecular targets, in order to modulate productive inflammation.
Association between Arg753Gln (rs574308) polymorphism of the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene and the risk of pulmonary sarcoidosis among the residents of Karelia”
Authors: Malysheva I. E. , Topchieva L. V. , Tikhonovich E. L.
Published: July 2022

Genetic factors play an important role in the development and progression of many disorders including lung sarcoidosis which is a systemic inflammatory granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, characterized by the formation of epithelioid cell granules in affected tissues. Intensity of the developing inflammation may partially depend on genetic factors which may influence both susceptibility to lung sarcoidosis, and also clinical course of the disease and the degree of inflammatory response from the immune system. Allelic polymorphism of distinct genes is therefore worth of study. In the carriers of certain allele variants, one may observe either increase, or a decreased production of pro-inflammatory factors. Among the candidate factors involved in higher susceptibility of humans, one may consider Toll-like receptors (TLRS) which may contribute to formation of granulomas. Relevant data concerning association between the allele variants of these genes and susceptibility to lung sarcoidosis, and its clinical course are still quite limited and contradictory. The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between the Arg753Gln (rs574308) polymorphism of the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene and the risk of developing pulmonary sarcoidosis.

A total of 253 persons were under study including 122 patients diagnosed with morphologically verified sarcoidosis with lung involvement (average age, 41.00±12.56 years), and 131 healthy donors comprising a control group (average age, 44.00±14.23 years). The distribution of alleles and genotypes for the Arg753Gln (rs574308) polymorphic TLR2 gene marker was studied in the groups of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and healthy donors. The test alleles of this polymorphic marker were typed by means of PCR technique followed by length analysis restriction fragments (PCR-RFLP method).

There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of allele and genotype frequencies for the polymorphic marker Arg753Gln (rs574308) of the TLR2 gene between the control group and the group of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis: χ2 = 2.0, df = 1, p = 0.158 and χ2 = 2.19, df = 2, p = 0.140, respectively.

The polymorphic marker Arg753Gln (rs574308) of Toll-like receptor 2 gene is not associated with the risk of developing pulmonary sarcoidosis among ethnic Russians of the Republic of Karelia.

Published: July 2022

The aim of present study was to investigate the hBD-3 gene expression in the surface epithelium of mucosa in ORL organs. We have studied a total of 210 mucosal samples, obtained at the most frequent surgical intervantions from 5 different anatomical functional areas: nose and paranasal sinuses, middle ear, nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx. The inferior turbinate mucosa (1) and the normal middle nasal passage mucosa (2) served as controls. Estimation of hBD-3 and β-actin gene expression was performed by reverse transcription and realtime PCR. In the nasal and sino-nasal mucosa, only negligible expression levels were detected in 14.29-33.33% of samples, most often in the specimens from the middle nasal passage and ethmoid labyrinth polyps (53.84%), being absent in hypertrophic inferior turbinate. In the middle ear cavity, the frequency detection of the hBD-3 gene expression varied from 7.69% in the stapes superstructures mucosa to 53.85% of the mucosal samples in the presence of cholesteatoma. hBD-3 gene expression was detected in most tissue samples with high microbial contamination: palatine tonsils (100%); adenoid hypertrophy (84.62%); adenoids in hypertrophic states of adenoids and palatine tonsils (87.5%); laryngeal fibrous-vascular polyps (87.5%); other laryngeal pathology (77.78% of the samples). The highest levels of hBD-3 gene expression were found in laryngeal fibrous-vascular polyps. The findings presumed two functionally different types of immune response in mucosa of the ORL organs. In the anatomical-functional areas lined with ciliated epithelium (middle and inferior nasal passages, maxillary and ethmoid sinuses, middle ear), significantly lower frequencies (Fisher's exact test, p < 0.05 to p < 0.001) and levels (Mann-Whitney test, p < 0.05 to p < 0.001) of hBD-3 gene expression were detected, except of polyps of the middle nasal passage and ethmoid labyrinth, and mucosa of the tympanic cavity in cholesteatoma, which may be related to the nature of the pathological process. In the areas lined with squamous epithelium or a combination of squamous and ciliated epithelium, hBD-3 gene expression was detected almost everywhere and at significantly higher levels. In the context of chronic inflammation and infection-related diseases of the ORL organs, in addition to the direct microbicidal activity of hBD-3 as the first line of immune response, one may suggest peptide dysregulation and, even, pathogenetic effects of hBD-3, e.g., increased sensitivity to infections, pathological changes in the composition of the commensal bacteria, fibrous remodeling.

Published: July 2022

Allele typing of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be used in predictive medicine and to determine targets for the most effective treatment strategies for various diseases. The purpose of the present work was to investigate the association between the SNPs of inflammatory genes, e.g., IL10 (C819T; rs1800871; C592A; rs1800872); IL4 (C589T; rs2243250); fibrosis-related factors - TGFβ1 (G915C; rs1800471); MMP1 (1607insG; rs1799750); apoptosis-regulators (TNFRSF11B G1181C; rs2073618); vasoconstricting factors (CRP C3872T; rs1205); CYP1A1 (A2454G; rs1048943), endothelial dysfunction (EDN1 G925T; rs5370); (NOS3 C786T; rs2070744) and development of coronary heart disorders, breast cancer, bronchial asthma (BA) and threatened miscarriage in early pregnancy among population of the Republic of Adygea.

DNA samples of unrelated donors and patients (n = 74) with verified diagnoses of bronchial asthma (n = 13), coronary heart disease (n = 10), breast cancer (n = 10) and threatened miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy (n = 8) were isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes and typed by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction with electrophoretic detection of results using commercial tests-systems of NPF “Litech”, Moscow.

The study in a group of Adygea residents has revealed the statistical significance for the “normal” Arg25-allelic variant of the TGFβ1 gene (p < 0.05; F = 0.038; OR = 3.231; 95% CI = 1.081-9.656) in the development of bronchial asthma. There were no significant differences in SNP rs1800471 of the TGFβ1 gene in the groups with cardiovascular, oncological diseases and gestational disorders (p > 0.05). The frequency distribution of allelic variants NOS3 C786T; TNFRSF11B G1181C; 1607insG of the MMP1 gene; G925T of the EDN1 gene, and CYP1A1 2454G in the examined patients with cardiovascular disease and breast cancer did not significantly differ from the control group (p > 0.05). The statistical significance for the frequency of allelic variants rs1799750 (MMP1 gene) in cases of threatened early miscarriage and in women with a physiological course of pregnancy (F = 0.096; p < 0.05%: OR = 6.0) was close to reliable, but with a confidence interval > 1.0 (95% CI = 0,98036,716), thus requiring further research.

The obtained data could be sufficient in order to suggest predisposition for bronchial asthma, as well as to develop a set of preventive measures taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient.

ABSTRACT: In Brazil, snakebites are often cited as a cause of mortality in ruminants, but there are discrepancies in the literature regarding its actual prevalence, either by lack of diagnosis or by mistakes in the differential diagnosis. Among the factors that hinder the diagnosis are included the inconsistencies to distinguish between accidents caused by Bothrops and Crotalus, responsible for over 90% of the cases. For the diagnosis of accidents involving Lachesis muta, both the neurotropic and the proteolytic/hemolytic effects must be considered, similar to what is described in Crotalus scutulatus. This article describes the main clinical, pathological, and laboratory findings observed in envenoming by the aforementioned snakes and suggests procedures for establishing the diagnosis and differential diagnosis starting from a logical sequence, based on epidemiological evidence, clinical, laboratory, and pathological findings.

Published: July 2022

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding levels of emulsifier based on soy lecithin and enzymatic complex (xylanase, β-glucanase, galactosidase, protease, amylase, and β-mannanase) on the basal diet during the raising of free-range broiler chickens. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five treatments and six replications. Treatments were: T1: control diet, without enzymatic complex and emulsifier; T2: 0.2 kg t-1 of enzymatic complex; T3: 0.5 kg t-1 of emulsifier; T4: 0.2 kg t-1 of enzymatic complex + 0.5 kg t-1 of emulsifier; and T5: 0.3 kg t-1 of enzymatic complex + 1 kg t-1 of emulsifier. Performance data were collected every 14 days, and the animals were euthanized at 70 days to obtain carcass, breast, drumstick, and thigh yield and intestine collection for pH analysis and morphometry. The periods from 1 to 56 and 1 to 70 days showed a difference (P<0.05) in the parameters of zootechnical performance, the feed intake was lower in T4 and T5, and weight gain was better in T1, T2, T3, and T4. Feed conversion was better in T1, T2, and T4. No difference (P>0.05) was observed for poultry livability, carcass yield, viscera, and pH of duodenum and cecum. A difference was found for intestinal morphometry (P<0.05), and T5 showed the best villus/crypt ratio. The level with 0.3 kg t-1 of enzymatic complex and 1 kg t-1 of emulsifier indicated a better relationship between villi and crypts. However, the level with 0.2 kg t-1 of enzymatic complex and 0.5 kg t-1 of emulsifier added to the commercial diet led to benefits such as decreased feed intake, without affecting weight gain, thus inducing a good feed conversion.

Resumo A Segurança Alimentar é um tema importante para a saúde pública e o comércio internacional de alimentos. Resíduos de medicamentos veterinários e contaminantes ambientais em produtos de origem animal podem causar doenças e toxicidade aguda em organismos expostos a essas substâncias. Este estudo avaliou dados oficiais de monitoramento de resíduos de medicamentos veterinários do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento em tecidos de aves e suínos no período de 2002 a 2014 para verificar padrões ocultos na ocorrência de seis medicamentos comuns (Closantel, Diclazuril, Nicarbazina, Sulfaquinoxalina, Doxiciclina e Sulfametazina). A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de dois métodos de aprendizado de máquina: árvore de decisão e redes neurais, além da avaliação visual por meio de gráficos e mapas. As taxas de contaminação foram baixas, variando de 0 a 0,66%. Foi identificado um padrão de distribuição espacial das detecções de substâncias por região, mas nenhum padrão de distribuição temporal foi observado. No entanto, as regressões mostraram um aumento nos níveis quando essas substâncias foram detectadas, portanto, o monitoramento deve continuar. No entanto, os resultados mostram que os produtos monitorados durante o período do estudo apresentaram baixo risco à saúde pública.

Resumo Este artigo analisa, com base no método bakhtiniano, o enunciado estético do seriado The handmaid’s tale (2017, 2018, 2019), em cotejo com o esquete do Porta dos fundos, denominado Handmaid’s tale (2019), relacionado à política brasileira. Os objetivos são refletir sobre: a atualidade do discurso da série; a valoração da mulher; o seriado relacionado à sociedade brasileira. Os estudos bakhtinianos fundamentam esta escrita e a relevância social justifica o estudo. Para exemplificar a relação com a sociedade brasileira, como cotejo, são trabalhados dois posts do Instagram. Os resultados revelam quanto o atual governo intensifica as desigualdades, com suas práticas patriarcais, sustentadas pelo discurso religioso.
A cavalaria como imagem de mundo: manu militari e ambivalências ético-políticas
Authors: Silveira Ada Cristina Machado
Published: July 2022

Resumo O texto circunscreve aspectos da complexidade significacional de uma fotografia que, em sua circulação, atravessou um século e meio acumulando sedimentos oriundos da vida pública brasileira. Ao conectar imagem e imaginário, a fotografia dos oito cavaleiros converteu-se num objeto simbólico. Em meio à ambivalência em que se inscreve, consagrou-se como imagem fundadora que, partindo da ordem familiar, social e política, concede precedência ao militarismo e o concebe como um poder organizador na vida republicana brasileira.
Tremendão e Erasmo Carlos: entre o indivíduo e a celebridade
Authors: Garson Marcelo
Published: July 2022

Resumo O ano de 1965 marca o início da Jovem Guarda, fenômeno midiático que visava construir uma cultura juvenil ao redor da música. Com canções sobre carrões e namoros, fez de jovens artistas celebridades; objetos de culto e modelos de reconhecimento, identificação e conduta. Ao estudar a emergência do Tremendão, alterego de Erasmo Carlos, o texto analisa empiricamente a construção das celebridades; processo que não se esgota em esquemas industriais de produção, mas antes reconstitui e reembala trajetórias de vida singulares para criar um efeito de autenticidade. Apoiado em registros de época — reportagens, canções, capas de disco, fotografias —, bem como entrevistas e biografias, o texto visa problematizar a relação entre o individual e o estrutural, e entre o singular e o massivo.

Retratos de província: fotografias de estúdio, invenções do eu e arquivos da memória
Authors: Jaguaribe Beatriz , López David Gómez
Published: July 2022

Resumo Ao explorar seletivamente os acervos de três fotógrafos — Manuel Jesús Serrano (1882-1957), Chichico Alkmim (1886-1978) e Baldomero Alejos (1902-1976) —, analisamos retratos fotográficos de estúdio realizados nas décadas de 1920 a 1950. Nas cidades de província onde exerceram a profissão de retratista, os estúdios fotográficos propiciavam um teatro de poses, automodelações modernas e pactos fotográficos entre retratados e fotógrafos. Nessas estufas fotográficas, a câmera disseminava, majoritariamente, o retrato burguês com suas conotações de posse e individualismo. Entretanto, os estúdios fotográficos de Serrano, Alkmim e Alejos também possibilitaram uma gama de automodelações desejadas, revelando variações étnicas, expressões subjetivas e hibridações culturais. Neste ensaio, analisamos imagens desses exímios retratistas, destacando os entrelaçamentos entre memórias afetivas e o arquivo; a relevância do estúdio fotográfico como espaço cenográfico de imaginários modernos, convencionais e também fantasiosos; e, finalmente, a leitura das imagens de estúdio em relação ao imaginário urbano dessas cidades provincianas.
O nu e o vestido (por ocasião da descoberta do Brasil)
Authors: Rosa Victor da
Published: July 2022

Resumo O presente artigo apresenta uma compreensão do modernismo brasileiro com base em suas relações possíveis com a moda. Desde a suposta inspiração da Semana de Arte Moderna em uma fashion week francesa até o new look que Flávio de Carvalho desenvolve para uma performance já nos anos 1950, o artigo passa ainda pelas obras de Oswald de Andrade, Mário de Andrade e Tarsila do Amaral. Dessa forma, interpreta um conjunto de textos literários, quadros, polêmicas e até mesmo certas performances ocorridas, expostas e publicadas ao longo do período modernista, que se orientaram pela moda em seus dois principais aspectos: o tempo e o vestuário. E conclui, por meio de uma sugestão etimológica, que, para os modernistas, a própria ideia de descoberta, como ato do conhecimento, se associaria à condição da nudez.
A política quântica dos engenheiros do caos, de Giuliano da Empoli
Authors: Campos Évilin Thaoane de Matos , Barili Fabricio
Published: July 2022

Resumo A obra analisada tem por plano de fundo o cenário democrático global que passa por uma transformação de ordem técnica em pautas populares e que interfere — por vezes imperceptivelmente — no resultado de eleições. Com base em cenários apresentados no continente europeu (Itália e Hungria) e no continente americano (Estados Unidos e Brasil), Giuliano da Empoli retrata como os mecanismos tecnológicos são apropriados pelo que chama de engenheiros do caos, pessoas capazes de usar os meios digitais para disseminar fake news, teorias da conspiração, promovendo ódio e medo e influenciando nas eleições.

ABSTRACT Most studies about soil organic carbon stock changes in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanna) biome are either related to field data collected in clayey Ferralsols or different land uses, as if they were in equilibrium. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tillage systems and crop sequences on the soil organic carbon stock and crop yield, in a sandy Ferralsol from Bahia, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with four replicates. Soil samples were collected after fve years of cotton, soybean and maize monocropping under heavy disk harrow and leveling harrow (conventional tillage), and of crop rotation of cotton, soybean and maize with green manure or cover crop (no-tillage). Additional samples were collected from a non-cultivated site (Neotropical Savanna, Cerrado sensu stricto). Soil conservation practices such as no-tillage and crop rotation with cover crop and green manure favored the soil organic carbon stock at the 0-40 cm layer, with the highest values reaching 36.03 Mg ha−1. The accrued soil carbon stock under conventional tillage and monoculture of cotton, maize and soybean was lower than under no-tillage, which ranged from 30.9 to 54.9 %, with the soil organic carbon stock increasing at the annual rate of 2.36 Mg ha−1 during fve years. The no-tillage, with the soybean-maize-cotton rotation, in combination with cover crop and green manure, increased the cotton and soybean yields, with a simultaneous organic carbon accumulation in the sandy soil.

ABSTRACT Objective To identify the main risk factors for metabolic syndrome and its relationship with the perception of quality of life in Brazilian fishing colonies. Methods We included 77 participants aged > 18 years. Metabolic syndrome and quality of life were the main study outcomes. We considered a significance level < 0.05 and all procedures were approved by the ethics committee. Results Most participants are male, single, economic class D-E, working hours of 6 to 8 hours, length of service from 1 to 5 years, and dedicated exclusively to fishing. Conclusion Abdominal perimeter and blood pressures were the most frequent criteria and the greatest contribution to metabolic syndrome. Although quality of life had a higher score for the social relationship domain, in this study, the physical domain was the only one associated with another observation, in which we observed a significant correlation with systolic blood pressure.

Regularized determinant of the Laplacian on forms over odd dimensional projective spaces
Authors: Rafael F. S.
Published: July 2022

We establish formulae for the regularized determinant of the twisted Laplacianson forms over odd dimensional real projective spaces. This work corresponds toa generalization of the previous formula for this type of space and we prove theequivalence in the common cases, what leads to interesting, if simple, identitiesinvolving special values of Bernoulli polynomials and the Riemann zeta function.As application, we calculate the Analytic Torsion of these spaces in relation to allunitary representations of their fundamental group.
Mariátegui, González Prada e o indigenismo radical no Peru da década de 1920
Authors: Deveza Felipe
Published: July 2022

Resumo: A obra do peruano José Carlos Mariátegui é conhecida por tratar de temas latino-americanos, mais especificamente peruanos a partir do marxismo de maneira criativa. Em geral se associa a originalidade de sua obra às questões regionais, mas a partir de referências e autores europeus. Quando adentramos no contexto dos movimentos sociais peruanos da década de 1920, em particular no movimento camponês e indígena, é possível perceber que a preocupação do autor peruano está, muitas vezes, vinculada à necessidade de responder às demandas de uma luta política específica. O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os movimentos radicais que foram imediatamente anteriores ao surgimento do marxismo no Peru e debater essas influências na obra de José Carlos Mariátegui.
A censura da opereta “La mascotte”: polêmica nos jornais do Riode Janeiro do século XIX
Authors: Neves Larissa de Oliveira
Published: July 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo traz a história, lida pelas páginas dos jornais, da censura da opereta La mascotte, escrita por Henry Chivot e Alfred Duru, musicada por Edmond Audran, que não passou de sua primeira representação no Rio de Janeiro, ocorrida em 30 de maio de 1881, pela companhia de Maurice Grau. Por meio de uma pesquisa em fontes primárias nos jornais da época, realizada na plataforma da Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional, o texto aborda a polêmica jornalística instaurada em torno do Conservatório Dramático a partir deste episódio, delineando temas como a problemática da censura e o personalismo institucional. O objetivo consiste em apresentar este estudo de caso e não analisar a instituição do Conservatório como um todo.
A assistência social nas ditaduras ibéricas: perspetivas sobre o Auxilio Social franquista e as Campanhas de Apoio aos Pobres no Inverno salazaristas
Authors: Pereira Pedro Teixeira
Published: July 2022

Resumo: A política social constitui-se numa porta entreaberta para ideário dos regimes ditatoriais ibéricos. No decurso dos anos de 1930 e 1940, Salazar e Franco apresentaram-se aos respetivos países como garantia de uma nova ordem política, articulando o discurso em torno das questões sociais. Este artigo estuda como os regimes, através da construção de uma assistência social, conseguiram alguma fidelização das massas em retorno, por dependência perante o Estado e, sobretudo, por imposição do mesmo. Contudo, Salazarismo e Franquismo reservaram diferente relevância para as suas políticas assistencialistas.
Circulação dos mouriscos após a deportação do reino de Granada (1570)
Authors: Contrera Ximena León
Published: July 2022

Resumo Após a Revolta dos Mouriscos de Granada (1568-1570) ocorreu a deportação de boa parte dos mouriscos daquele reino para Castela e outros territórios peninsulares da Monarquia Hispânica. A remoção foi realizada rapidamente, sendo iniciada antes do final do conflito e sistematizada em três levas, entre 1569 e 1585. A deportação provocou debates sobre a pertinência de espalhar pela Espanha uma das fontes da dissidência religiosa: a comunidade mourisca de Granada. Após a distribuição foi constatado que os mouriscos, em muitos, casos tentavam desobedecer às ordens de restrição da circulação, buscando o retorno ao reino de Granada ou fuga para a Berberia mesmo em face a fortes obstáculos. Este artigo procura traçar alguns aspectos deste processo de mobilidade dos mouriscos de Granada, com base tanto nas documentações institucionais, como em relatos e processos individuais, denúncias, crônicas, cartas e censos ou padrones da população.
Analysis of maximum-power-tracking methods in photovoltaic panels
Authors: Akdemir Ali , Karakaya Abdulhakim
Published: July 2022

In the past century, the demand for energy has soared with the rapid development of technology and the human population. Fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil used today to obtain energy have a limited life span. Therefore, the interest in renewable energy sources is increasing. Solar energy, which is one of these renewable energy sources, comes to the fore more than the other renewable energy sources because the energy emitted instantly by the sun is so much greater than the energy consumed by the world in a year. Therefore, much research has been done to produce a greater amount of energy from the sun. This study examines the maximum-power-point tracking methods that are widely used today. The methods under review include constant voltage, short-circuit current, perturb and observe, fuzzy logic, incremental conductance and artificial neural networks. Of these methods, perturb and observe, fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks have been analyzed using the PVSOL software, which is for making designs and simulations for photovoltaic systems. The analysis includes a comparison of the depreciation periods for standard systems and facilities where these control algorithms are used.
Epilepsy management during difficult times

Published: July 2022

Major disruption in the delivery of healthcare services can occur in exceptional situations such as natural disasters, conflicts, periods of severe economic hardship, and epidemics. These disruptions typically affect to the greatest extent the most vulnerable segments of the population, including people with epilepsy. Inability to access healthcare services can lead to failure to undergo necessary diagnostic investigations, or to receive needed therapeutic interventions, including epilepsy surgery. Stress and other factors associated with the nature or the cause of the disruption can adversely affect seizure control status, or precipitate the occurrence of psychiatric disorders and other comorbid conditions. Failure to access antiseizure medications is a common occurrence in these situations and can result in loss of seizure control, withdrawal seizures, and status epilepticus. In this article, we provide examples of recent disruptions in healthcare and their implications for people with epilepsy. We discuss the consequences of natural disasters, conflicts, economic sanctions, and focus in greater detail on lessons learnt during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We also discuss possible mitigation procedures, focusing in particular on the application of telemedicine to epilepsy care. Finally, we underline the need for governments, healthcare authorities, and international organizations to improve their preparedness to deal with exceptional situations that may arise in the future.
