Incroduction: Falls are a very serious problem for people over 65 years of age. The frequency of falls increases with age. Studies show that 18% of people under the age of 45 fall down every year, 25% of those aged 45-65 and 35% of those over 65.
Material and Methods: 18 people from the participants of the project “Comprehensive diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients with back pain syndromes and those at risk of falling using innovative therapy” were qualified for the analysis. Patients, before and after therapy, were tested using a stabilometric platform. The test was conducted in a free standing position with eyes open (30 seconds) and then with eyes closed (30 seconds).
Results: Comparison of patient results before and after therapy showed a statistically significant (p <0.05) improvement in posture stability expressed in the mean X-axis displacement rate (movement to the sides) and Y (antero-posterior movement) both in the study with eyes open and closed. A shortening of the mean length of the center of gravity projection path was also observed.
Conclusions: The proposed therapeutic program had a positive effect on improving stability in the studied patients. This improvement was mainly expressed by reducing the speed of center of gravity displacement and shortening the path that the center of gravity travels in both the open and closed eyes test.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Elderly Patients

Published: October 2020

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive, patient-tailored intervention, that can be started at any stage of a respiratory disorder. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are the biggest referred group, but almost every patient with other chronic lung disorder will benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation program. Contraindications for rehabilitation are sparse: severe cognitive dysfunction, mental illness, unstable comorbidity and dyspnoea at rest. The multidisciplinary care consists of a team of specialists, including pulmonologist, physiotherapist, nurse, clinical psychologist and dietitian. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs include exercise training, education, dietary counselling and psychological support. The basis of respiratory rehabilitation is broadly defined physiotherapy, which increases muscle strength and improves aerobic fitness. Each patient requires an individualized treatment plan. Pulmonary rehabilitation consists of endurance exercises, strength training, interval training, exercises of the chest wall motion, inspiratory muscle training and, in case of neurological disorders, percutaneous neuromuscular electrostimulation (NSE). The effectiveness of rehabilitation should be assessed, which might be difficult in elderly patients. In summary, pulmonary rehabilitation is beneficial in many aspects, as it reduces clinical symptoms, improves physical performance, mental status and patients’ quality of life.

This article discusses the curatorial strategy of open storage and its assumed potential to decolonize knowledge production in ethnographic museums. Showing masses of stored objects supposedly free from any institutional interpretation is thought to allow for shifting the authority over meaning-making from the museum to the public. Findings from public storeroom visits that were conducted in connection with a participatory exhibition project in an ethnographic museum call these assumptions into question.

Behaviorism and constructivism continue to be the basis of current educational methodologies, despite being commonplace in the first decades of the twentieth century. In fact, one of the contemporary challenges of the educational system is based on strengthening constructivism in the classroom, which would allow students to become responsible for their educational process and build their knowledge. The aim of this paper will be to analyse which educational techniques are the most used among early childhood education teachers and on which methodological currents they are mostly based. It will also take into account whether the type of school in which teachers work and their years of experience affect the use of those techniques. To this end, an ad hoc questionnaire was sent to 117 active teachers. The results indicated that, although the use of punishments is lower, the level of use of reinforcements and constructivist resources (above all, the scaffolding, the spiral curriculum, and starting from the interest of the students) is high. Consequently, it is necessary to reflect on the effect of over-justification, together with continuing to promote constructivist models and resources.

Authors: Conlon M.S.C. , Santi S.A. , Meigs M.L. , Davidson S.M. , Saunders D.
Published: October 2020

Purpose: Many patients diagnosed with head-and-neck cancer are current or former smokers. Despite the well-known adverse effects of smoking, continuation of smoking during cancer treatment is associated with reduced efficacy of that treatment and with cancer recurrence. In the present study, we examined smoking characteristics in patients with head-and-neck cancer near the time of cancer treatment. Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with head-and-neck cancer who attended a dental oncology clinic before receiving cancer treatment at a regional cancer centre were invited to participate in a study that involved completing an interviewer-administered questionnaire to assess smoking characteristics, intention to quit, motivation to quit, and strategies perceived to potentially aid in successful cessation. Results: The study enrolled 493 ever-smokers, with a response rate of 96.1% and a self-reported current smoker rate of 37.1% (n = 183). Most of the current smokers reported high nicotine dependence, with 84.7% (n = 155) indicating a time to first cigarette of 30 minutes or less. Most had previously attempted to quit smoking (77.0%), and many had prior unsuccessful quit attempts before resuming smoking again. Most were interested in quitting smoking (85.8%), and many (70.5%) were seriously considering quitting smoking within the subsequent 30 days. Conclusions: Patients with head-and-neck cancer reported high nicotine dependence and high interest in cessation opportunities near the time of treatment for cancer. Those results might provide support for provision of smoking cessation opportunities.

Published: October 2020

Chondrosarcomas constitute the 3rd most common primary bone malignancy. These tumours grow slowly and rarely metastasize, usually having a good prognosis after surgery. Among patients registered and treated at the Brazilian National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, an uncommon case of chondrosarcoma was identified in a 63-year-old man, who was diagnosed with multicentric chondrosarcoma of the appendicular skeleton. This example is atypical in the medical literature because multicentric tumours are different from metastatic events, and their frequency in chondrosarcoma is rare. This article therefore provides a rare case report alongside a review of additional cases in the medical literature.

Published: October 2020

Methods: A retrospective cohort study considered patients 18 or more years of age diagnosed between January 2007 and May 2018 with unresectable stage iii non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) who received combined chemoradiation (crt). Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method to determine median overall (os) and progression-free survival (pfs) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (cis). Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors prognostic for survival, including age, sex, smoking status, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ecog ps), histology, treatment type, tumour size, and nodal status. Results: Of 226 patients diagnosed with unresectable stage iii disease, 134 (59%) received combined crt. Mean age was 63 years; most patients were white, were current smokers, had an ecog ps of 0 or 1, and had nonsquamous histology. Median pfs was 7.03 months (95% ci: 5.6 months to 8.5 months), and os for the cohort was 18.7 months (95% ci: 12.4 months to 24.8 months). Of those patients, 78% would have been eligible for durvalumab consolidation therapy. Univariate analysis demonstrated a significant os benefit (p = 0.010) for concurrent crt (ccrt) compared with sequential crt (scrt). Disease-specific survival remained significantly better in the ccrt group (p = 0.004). No difference in pfs was found between the ccrt and scrt groups. In addition, tumour size and nodal involvement were significant discriminating factors for survival (p < 0.05). In this patient cohort, 64% of patients progressed and received subsequent therapy. Based on multivariate analysis, tumour size and nodal station were the only factors predictive of survival in patients with unresectable stage iii nsclc treated with crt. Conclusions: Combined crt has been the standard treatment for unresectable stage iii nsclc. In our study, a trend of better survival was seen for ccrt compared with scrt. Factors predictive of survival in patients with stage iii disease treated with crt were tumour size and nodal station. Most patients with stage iii disease would potentially be eligible for durvalumab maintenance therapy based on the eligibility criteria from the pacific trial. The use and effectiveness of novel treatments will have to be further studied in our real-world patient population and similar populations elsewhere.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Inflammation is a critical component in carcinogenesis. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (nlr) has been retrospectively studied as a biomarker of prognosis in metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc). Compared with a low nlr, a high nlr is associated with worse prognosis. In the present study, we compared real-world survival for patients with mcrc based on their nlr group, and we assessed the utility of the nlr in determining first-line chemotherapy and metastasectomy benefit. Methods: In this retrospective and descriptive analysis of patients with mcrc undergoing first-line chemotherapy in a single centre, the last systemic absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte count before treatment was used for the nlr. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to estimate the nlr cut-off value, dividing the patients into low and high nlr groups. Median overall survival (mos) was compared using Kaplan–Meier curves and the log-rank test. A multivariate analysis was performed using a Cox regression model. Results: The 102 analyzed patients had a median follow-up of 15 months. Regardless of systemic therapy, approximately 20% of patients underwent metastasectomy. The nlr cut-off was established at 2.35, placing 45 patients in the low-risk group (nlr < 2.35) and 57 in the high-risk group (nlr ≥ 2.35). The Kaplan–Meier analysis showed a mos of 39.1 months in the low-risk group and 14.4 months in the high-risk group (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression on the nlr estimated a hazard ratio of 3.08 (p = 0.01). Survival analysis in each risk subgroup, considering the history of metastasectomy, was also performed. In the low-risk group, mos was longer for patients undergoing metastasectomy than for those not undergoing the procedure (95.2 months vs. 22.6 months, p = 0.05). In the high-risk group, mos was not statistically different for patients undergoing or not undergoing metastasectomy (24.3 months vs. 12.7 months, p = 0.08). Conclusions: Our real-world data analysis of nlr in patients with mcrc confirmed that this biomarker is useful in predicting survival. It also suggests that nlr is an effective tool to choose first-line treatment and to predict the benefit of metastasectomy.

Published: October 2020

The coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has necessitated changes to the way patients with chronic diseases are managed. Given that patients with multiple myeloma are at increased risk of covid-19 infection and related complications, national bodies and experts around the globe have made recommendations for risk mitigation strategies for those vulnerable patients. Understandably, because of the novelty of the virus, many of the proposed risk mitigation strategies have thus far been reactionary and cannot be supported by strong evidence. In this editorial, we highlight some of the risk mitigation strategies implemented at our institutions across Canada during the first wave of covid-19, and we discuss the considerations that should be made when managing patients during the second wave and beyond.

Įvadas. Lėtinė spontaninė dilgėlinė yra daugiau nei šešias savaites trunkanti liga, pasireiškianti išbėrimais pūkšlėmis ir (arba) angioedema. Daliai sergančiųjų standartinis gydymas antihistaminiais vaistais yra neveiksmingas net skiriant keturis kartus didesnę nei vaisto apraše rekomenduojama dozę. Omalizumabas – monokloninis antikūnas prieš imunoglobuliną E (anti-IgE), pastarųjų metų klinikinių tyrimų duomenimis, yra veiksmingiausias III pakopos vaistas, skirtas atsparios antihistaminiams vaistams lėtinės spontaninės dilgėlinės gydymui. Tikslas – įvertinti omalizumabo veiksmingumą malšinant lėtinės spontaninės dilgėlinės simptomus. Metodika. Atlikta 22 asmenų, sergančių antihistamininiams vaistams atsparia aktyvia lėtine spontanine dilgėline, kurie buvo tirti ir gydyti Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto ligoninės Kauno klinikų Imunologijos ir alergologijos klinikoje, retrospektyvioji duomenų analizė. Ligos aktyvumas ir gydymo omalizumabu poveikis vertinti pagal dilgėlinės aktyvumo balą (UAS7). Rezultatai. Teigiamas gydymo poveikis pasiektas (dilgėlinės aktyvumo balas sumažėjo >50 proc.) 18 pacientų (81,8 proc.), septyniems pacientams (31,8 proc.) simptomų sumažėjimas stebėtas jau po pirmos vaisto injekcijos, aštuoniems asmenims (47,1 proc.) iš visų baigusiųjų 6 mėn. gydymo kursą dėl pasikartojančių intensyvių dilgėlinės simptomų vaisto vartojimas buvo atnaujintas. Išvados. Gydymas omalizumabu žymiai sumažino ligos aktyvumą. Atsinaujinus lėtinės spontaninės dilgėlinės simptomams po sėkmingo gydymo omalizumabu, vėl pratęstas gydymas šiuo vaistu buvo veiksmingas ir saugus.

Omalizumabas – tai monokloninis antikūnas, kuris selektyviai jungiasi prie žmogaus imunoglobulino E (IgE) ir neleidžia jam prisijungti prie didelio ir mažo afiniteto IgE receptorių, esančių ląstelių – taikinių paviršiuje. Klinikiniais tyrimais įrodyta, kad omalizumabas pagerina astmos kontrolę, sumažina šios ligos paūmėjimų dažnį, gliukokortikoidų (GK) poreikį bei sulėtina kvėpavimo takų remodeliacijos vystymąsi. Be to, omalizumabas yra veiksmingas tiek esant dideliam, tiek mažam eozinofilų kiekiui kraujyje. Skirtingų tyrimų rezultatai ir klinikinė patirtis rodo, jog ilgalaikis gydymas omalizumabu yra veiksmingas ir saugus.

Agricultural innovations as a factor in the formation of national agribusiness
Authors: Korniyenko Ganna
Published: October 2020

Problem setting. Agrobusiness in Ukraine is one of the stimulus of stable economic functioning, social status, state’s food safety. Its sustainable development depends on various factors including in particular the introduction of innovations into the economic sphere of a specific agricultural producer.
Latest research analysis. Economists and lawyers research the issues of agricultural innovations. We can outstand the scientific works by Kot O., Larina S., Oliynyk О., Mazurenko O., Semchyk V. These works consider agricultural innovations as an economic phenomenon without taking into account the legal aspect. This approach seems to be somewhat narrow.
Discussion. Agricultural innovations are the result of the realization of the entity’s intellectual property (inventions, useful models, new kinds of plants) in the field of agrobusiness that is aimed at obtaining economic, social, environmental effects. In agricultural production agricultural innovations can be found in the area of crop growing, animal husbandry, fishing industry, agricultural engineering, organic production.
Conclusions and prospects. Innovative legal relations in the field of agrobusiness are the relations that arise between specific entities and the ones in agricultural business concerning the order, the use of a new agricultural product, the technologies of agricultural products’ production, the maintenance of digital agricultural production in the field of agrobusiness for making profit, gaining positive social ecological effect. Agricultural innovations as an object of innovative agrarian relations are the important factors in the formation of national agrobusiness. Their use leads to an innovative model of agricultural production. The demand for innovative products allows to make an innovative chain of agrobusiness and it includes: the development of innovation, its commercialization, the operation of agricultural production, consumers’ offer for agricultural products, including innovations.

Published: October 2020

In this study, an investigation of the steady 2-D magnetohydrodynamiic (MHD) flow of stagnation point past a nonlinear sheet of stretching/shrinking within of a non-uniform transverse magnetic intensity in nanofluids had been analysed. Considered material of nanoparticles such as copper (Cu) in water base fluid with Pr = 6.2 to analyze the influence of volume fraction parameter of nanoparticles and the stretching/shrinking sheet parameter. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted in to the nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and use the boundary value problem solver bvp4c in Matlab program to solve numerically through the use of a similarity transformation. The impact of the parameter of the magnetic field on the coefficient of skin friction, the local number of Nusselt and the profiles of velocity and temperature are portrayed and explained physically. The analysis reveals that the magnetic field and volume fraction of nanoparticles affect the velocity and temperature. The dual solutions are achieved where for the shrinking sheet case and the solutions are non-unique, different from a stretching sheet.

We analyze the photometry and spectra of the “redback” millisecond pulsar binary J2339−0533. These observations include new measurements from Keck and the Gamma-Ray Burst Optical/Near-infrared Detector (GROND), as well as archival measurements from the Optical and Infrared Synergetic Telescopes for Education and Research (OISTER), WIYN, Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR), and Hobby–Eberly Telescope (HET) telescopes. The parameters derived from GROND, our primary photometric data, describe well the rest of the data sets, raising our confidence in our fitted binary properties. Our fit requires hot spots (likely magnetic poles) on the surface of the companion star, and we see evidence that these spots move over the 8 yr span of our photometry. The derived binary inclination i = 69.°3 ± 2.°3, together with the center-of-mass velocity (from the radial-velocity fits) K

Published: October 2020

In freshwater ecosystems, invasive salmonid fishes can have a significant impact on native fish species. Detecting the invasion and its negative effects is critical for the conservation of native fish communities. We examined the species composition and seasonal changes in the freshwater fish community, including salmonids, on the Kamikawa Plain, Hokkaido Island, Japan, using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. We detected 23 fish species in 176 samples collected from 16 sites over 12 months (October 2018 – August 2019). Between 11 and 20 species were detected at each site, including five native salmonids (Oncorhynchus masou, Oncorhynchus keta, Parahucho perryi, Salvelinus leucomaenis leucomaenis and Salvelinus malma krascheninnikova). The invasive alien rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was detected at all 16 sites and it was the most commonly detected salmonid. Although we found no obvious competitive exclusion of native salmonids by rainbow trout in the study area, the invasive species occurred more often and at more sites than any of the natives. We also determined the occurrence and seasonal changes in the fish community, classified as native salmonids, invasive rainbow trout, Cypriniformes and other benthic fishes. There were fewer species overall in winter, but the sites with higher species richness in winter were on the lower reaches of the river. In addition, we detected domestic invaders, such as the topmouth gudgeon, Pseudorasbora parva, although they were less prevalent than rainbow trout. These results show the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding, which can be used for surveying species richness at an ecosystem scale. In particular, the detection of the early stages of establishment and spread of invasive species can be achieved by eDNA monitoring.

Published: October 2020

Syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a cosmopolitan group of flower-visiting insects, though their diversity and importance as pollinators is understudied and often unappreciated. Data on 1,477 Syrphid occurrences and floral associations from three years of pollinator collection (2017-2019) in the Southern Illinois region of Illinois, United States, are here compiled and analyzed. We collected 69 species in 36 genera off of the flowers of 157 plant species. While a richness of 69 species is greater than most other families of flower-visiting insects in our region, a species accumulation curve and regional species pool estimators suggest that at least 33 species are yet uncollected. In order to further the understanding of Syrphidae as pollinators in the Southern Illinois region, we produced a NMDS ordination of floral associations for the most common syrphid species. The NMDS did not sort syrphid species into discrete ecological guilds, and syrphid floral associations generally fit those predicted by traditional pollination syndromes. We also conducted a preliminary analysis of the pollen-carrying capacity of different syrphid taxa, which found severalEristalisspecies to carry pollen loads comparable to the European Honey Bee,Apis mellifera, and showed significant differences in the pollen-carrying capacity of various syrphid species. Notably, the extremely common genusToxomerusand other small Syrphinae species carried very little pollen, while large and pilose Eristalinae species carried large pollen loads.

The path to academia can be rocky for nurses. Nursing academia is much more than educating students. The balance of teaching, service, and scholarship that is required for tenure, coupled with the institution of academia, can be overwhelming. New nursing faculty often find themselves feeling unprepared for the multidimensional nature of the role. Effective mentoring is crucial for new faculty success.

Method:

A new faculty cohort, The Tenure Tribe, took initiative to establish a unique mentoring process of planned, purposeful connection and networking as peers and with experienced faculty for the purpose of academic nursing success.

Results:

Role-reversal mentoring was found to increase feelings of support and job satisfaction for the new faculty while creating a unique way to accelerate and support their transition from clinician to educator.

Conclusion:

Role-reversal mentoring was an effective means for new nursing faculty assimilation, growth, and development.

Les transgressions poétiques d’un auteur swahiliphone de Lubumbashi : Patrick Mudekereza
Authors: Aiello Flavia , Gaudioso Roberto
Published: October 2020

L’article rend compte des recherches menées sur le terrain dans le cadre d’un projet d’intérêt national (PRIN) intitulé « Mobilité – stabilisation. Représentations congolaises et dynamiques sociales, au Congo et dans l’espace global », financé pour la période 2017-2020 par le ministère de l’Éducation, de l’Université et de la Recherche italien. Flavia Aiello et Roberto Gaudioso présentent des textes inédits de Patrick Mudekereza qu’ils ont rencontré en 2018 à Lubumbashi. Mudekereza n’a jamais publié ses poèmes dans des recueils poétiques, considérant son écriture essentiellement comme une pratique associée à son travail dédié à l’art. Engagé dans plusieurs formes d’écriture, créative et discursive (cette dernière en français ou anglais), l’artiste luhois semble avoir un rapport très particulier et intime à la poésie, qu’il pratique de manière intermittente et dont il ne garde pas trace de façon systématique. Dans cet article on analysera six textes, dont trois (Funga macho liya, Pima tuyambe et Langues) composés durant les travaux du collectif d’écrivains Libr’Écrire né à Lubumbashi en 2007 ; deux ne sont pas datés (Buzuri tele et Mu pori ya binvuri [Dans le bois des ombres]), et un (Mankamanshi>Mboleo [Morve>Fertilisant]) est daté du 13 février 2018. Trois de ces compositions poétiques sont bi/multilingue, en français, swahili et lingala (Funga macho liya, Langues, Mankamanshi>Mboleo), les autres sont écrits en swahili.
D’une rive l’autre : questions de génétique et poétique
Authors: Martin-Granel Nicolas
Published: October 2020

On se demandera dans quelle mesure l’approche génétique, dont le postulat « le texte n’existe pas » implique de remonter en amont du texte imprimé, n’irait pas à contre-courant de cette littérature (du) fleuve dont la poétique globale, à l’image du flux continu, dynamique et irréversible qui « se défenestre dans l’Océan », postulerait au contraire que le brouillon ou l’avant-texte n’a plus lieu d’être. De fait, au hasard de nos rencontres avec les textes, terrains et artistes des deux rives du Congo, on s’aperçoit que cette tension inextricable entre catabase poétique et anabase génétique surdétermine la dynamique fleuvienne, indisciplinée et protéiforme, qui emporte toutes les pratiques artistiques, de l’écriture aux arts plastiques, vivants ou performatifs, selon le modèle global de l’Art salvateur, sans origine première ni fin dernière.
Des traces littéraires haïtiennes au Congo
Authors: Mudimbe-Boyi Elisabeth
Published: October 2020

Cette transcription partielle d’un entretien vidéo avec Elisabeth Mudimbe-Boyi, critique et professeur émérite de littérature française et comparée à l’Université de Stanford, réalisé par Jean Jonassaint en avril 2020, dans le cadre d’une recherche sur la contribution des Haïtiens à la création du Congo moderne, éclaire un chemin intellectuel inhabituel qui ne va pas, comme c’est le plus souvent le cas, du Sud au Nord, mais du Sud au Sud. Haïti et le Congo avaient, dans les premières années de l’Indépendance, des relations non seulement historiques mais aussi culturelles. Cet entretien revient sur ces relations, jusqu’à présent peu étudiées, tout en retraçant, entre autres, le milieu universitaire du début des années soixante, le rôle joué par un professeur belge non aligné, et la naissance d’une maison d’édition, Mont Noir, qui a fait, dans les années soixante-dix, des choix éditoriaux courageux et parfois futuristes.
La lecture aberrante d’une inscription à Kasserine (Tunisie). Prospérité et chute d’une création par erreur
Authors: González Bordas Hernán
Published: October 2020

Cet article plonge dans le milieu des antiquaires amateurs d’épigraphie du début du XVIIIe siècle dans la Régence de Tunis. Il explore la façon dont est créé, par des antiquaires aux connaissances limitées et dans des circonstances difficiles, un texte fantaisiste à partir de la mauvaise lecture d’une inscription. Ensuite, la tradition manuscrite de cette lecture a été retracée afin de mettre en évidence le processus de légitimation de ce témoignage erroné, qui fut écarté définitivement lors de l’avènement du CIL, œuvre fondatrice de l’épigraphie contemporaine.
Le Van Gogh de Heidegger et le Velazquez de Foucault. Une reflexion sur deux erreurs philosophiques
Authors: Salucci Marco
Published: October 2020

La fausse interprétation d’un tableau peut-elle créer de véritables concepts philosophiques ? En raison de qui ou de quoi l’erreur est-elle l’origine de la vie ? Ces questions constituent l’entrée, au sens deleuzien, pour pouvoir aborder deux célèbres cas de fausses interprétations philosophiques : l’interprétation faite par Martin Heidegger de Une paire de chaussures (1887) de Vincent Van Gogh et l’interprétation de Les Ménines (1656) de Diego Velázquez faite par Michel Foucault. Ces deux célèbres cas seront mis en perspective à l’aide de la pensée de Gilles Deleuze et Felix Guattari afin de répondre aux questions posées.
L’art en échec : les peintres et l’erreur dans quelques romans de l’artiste au XIXe siècle
Authors: Pallas Basile
Published: October 2020

Après avoir rappelé que certains romans de l’artiste au XIXe siècle posent la représentation de la réalité comme un échec, nous montrerons en quoi les ateliers de l’artiste, tels qu’ils sont décrits dans ces romans, se font les symptômes symboliques des différentes erreurs de l’exercice créatif, et de quelles façons ils mettent en scène les enjeux de la création picturale et littéraire, tout en les reconfigurant.
L’erreur à l’œuvre et ses enjeux artistiques. Le cas chinois de la période maoïste à la période actuelle
Authors: Le Gouriérec Frédéric
Published: October 2020

La notion d’erreur n’a pas de pertinence dans la tradition artistique chinoise. Seule la confrontation entre l’imagerie réglementée de la cour et l’imagerie artistique de la peinture lettrée a fait naître un problème que devaient amplifier leurs avatars successifs, de la tentative du réalisme socialiste de s’annexer l’art dit moderne à la confrontation entre l’institution académique et l’art contemporain. Cette perspective historique ne dispense pourtant pas d’une analyse des mécanismes de l’erreur dont il s’avère qu’ils n’ont d’unité que dans le mot.

Authors: Dos Santos Bruna Felix , Trevisan Diego Peruchi , Moschini Luiz Eduardo
Published: October 2020

As transformações impostas ao ambiente têm ocasionado impactos negativos aos ecossistemas, deixando-os vulneráveis. Com isso, nos últimos anos a preocupação com a conservação dos recursos naturais, do solo e das águas tem aumentado significativamente. Tais influências antrópicas alteram a paisagem e modificam grandes áreas como coberturas florestais, transformando-as em inúmeros fragmentos, o que interfere na qualidade e quantidade dos recursos naturais. Diante as estas considerações o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em analisar a qualidade estrutural da paisagem município de Itirapina – SP, por meio da utilização de índices da paisagem em decorrência de suas características físicas com o uso e cobertura da terra presentes nos anos de 2006 e 2016, com o intuito de analisar o efeito da modificação de áreas naturais causados pelas atividades antrópicas sobre a estrutura da paisagem. A abordagem metodológica envolveu levantamentos bibliográficos e digitais da base de dados sendo estas informações analisadas no Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIGs) os quais deram suporte para determinação do índice de Qualidade Estrutural da Paisagem, o qual verificou os principais impactos estruturais na área de estudo, possibilitando um melhor desenvolvimento e planejamento de ações voltadas a conservação das áreas de vegetação natural e resultando em uma boa qualidade estrutural da paisagem e consequentemente das funções ecossistêmicas da região.
(RE) SIGNIFICAÇÕES DO EMPÍRICO NO DECORRER DA HISTÓRIA DO CONHECIMENTO GEOGRÁFICO: UM DIÁLOGO EM TRÊS MOMENTOS
Authors: Bauab Fabrício Pedroso
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo trata da história e da epistemologia da Geografia - apesar da interdisciplinaridade inerente ao seu conteúdo -, mais especificamente do significado do saber empírico ao longo do tempo para o conhecimento geográfico. Para tanto, estruturamos o texto em três momentos, que são comparados e enredados. O primeiro abrange o período medieval e sua predileção pelo elemento textual e apologético, embasados em premissas basilares do cristianismo. Aqui, ao elemento empírico são sobrepostos conteúdos textuais de diferentes épocas, objetivando equiparar a grafia do mundo a elementos religiosos. O segundo momento refere-se ao período conhecido como Grandes Navegações. Nele, novas gentes e terras são desveladas pela Europa – principalmente por espanhóis e portugueses - que, pelas evidências empíricas das novas paragens, viu-se obrigada a pôr em questionamento algumas verdades da tradição medieval fortemente presentes nos séculos XV e XVI. Por fim trataremos da viagem de Alexander von Humboldt à América Espanhola (1769-1859). Aqui, o sábio prussiano vai (re) significar o empírico mediante uma complexa simbiose entre procedimentos científicos convencionais, elementos do Romantismo Alemão, bem como do aporte pretensamente científico de Johann Wolgang von Goethe (1749-1832). Cabe mencionar que o artigo tem como premissa basilar a relação intrínseca entre o tipo de relevância dado ao empírico e a conjuntura histórica em que tal relevância ganha contornos próprios.
Amerindian Perspectivism in the Mythicized Discourses of Popular Catholicism in the Amazon
Authors: Reis Marcos Vinicius Freitas , Torres Pereira Marcos Paulo
Published: October 2020

This article aims to problematize, through the theoretical contributions of the post-colonial studies, the catholic church’s colonization project towards the Amapaense Amazon’s popular catholicism - such as the Myth of Cobra Grande - constituted as a project evolved around eurocentric and judeo-christian assumptions to the detriment of afro-amerindian cultural, identity and religious expressions, of catholic communities in the urban and rural areas of the brazilian Amazon. The amazonian population develops strategies of resistance and re-existence in order to maintain their religious traditions around festa dos santos (festival of saints), pilgrimages, festivities, rosaries, quermesses, and other activities as forms of origins establishment or origins return for the foundation of a narrative identity..
The haitian migratory system in the guianas: beyond borders
Authors: Handerson Joseph
Published: October 2020

The Guianas are an important migratory field in the Caribbean migratory system, whereby goods, objects, currencies, and populations circulate for different reasons: geographical, cultural proximity, climatic, geopolitical and socioeconomic factors. From the 1960s and 1970s, Haitian migration increased in the Guianas. Five decades later, after the January 2010 earthquake, the migratory spaces were intensified in the region, Brazil became part of them as a country of residence and transit to reach French Guiana and Suriname. In 2013, the routes were altered. Some migrants started to use the Republic of Guyana to enter Brazil through the border with Roraima, in the Amazon, or to cross the border towards Suriname and French Guiana. This article is divided into two levels. First, it describes the way in which migrants' practices and trajectories intersect national borders in the Guianas. Then, it analyzes the migratory system, documents and papers, and the problems that the different Haitian migratory generations raise in space and time. The ethnographic research is based on the Triple Border Brazil, Colombia and Peru, but also in Suriname, French Guiana and Haiti.
miR-126 targeting GOLPH3 inhibits the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and reduces cell invasion

Published: October 2020

The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer have been increasing in recent years. MiR-126 and target genes have been studied in gastric cancer, but their studies with Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) and related pathways in gastric cancer are rarely reported. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the interaction between the miR-126 and GOLPH3in the progression of gastric cancer. In this study, we revealed the role of miR-126-GOLPH3 axis into regulating the progression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in BGC-823 cell model. Firstly, tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 45 patients with gastric cancer. We found the expression of miR-126 in human tumor tissue was significantly lower than in normal tissue using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). But the GOLPH3 expression was opposite by the detection of immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot. Moreover, we predicted miR-126 targeting GOLPH3 by bioinformatics and confirmed the interaction using luciferase reporter gene system; miR-126 inhibited the proliferation, invasion and EMT progression in BGC-823 cells through overexpressing miR-126; miR-126 negative regulated GOLPH3 expression by overexpressing and interfering miR-126. Finally, we found GOLPH3 could promote proliferation using MTT assay, invasion using Transwell, and EMT progression by inhibiting the expression of E-cadherin, inducing vimentin and N-cadherin in BGC-823 cells. Our results demonstrated that miR-126 inhibits proliferative and invasive ability as well as EMT progression by targeting GOLPH3. This study may provide a new field of vision for targeted treatment of gastric cancer.
