Moulding Cultural Capital into Cosmopolitan Capital
Authors: Lindell Johan , Danielsson Martin
Published: December 2017

Various media allow people to build transnational networks, learn about the world and meet people from other cultures. In other words, media may allow one to cultivate cosmopolitan capital, defined here as a distinct form of embodied cultural capital. However, far from everyone is identifying this potential. Analyses of a national survey and in-depth interviews, conducted in Sweden, disclose a tendency among those in possession of cultural capital to recognise and exploit cosmopolitan capital in their media practices. Those who are dispossessed of cultural capital are significantly less liable to approach media in this way. Relying on various media practices in order to reshape one’s cultural capital exemplifies what Bourdieu called a reconversion strategy. As social fields undergo globalisation, media offer opportunities for the privileged to remain privileged – to change in order to conserve.
Dual-release hydrocortisone treatment: glycometabolic profile and health-related quality of life
Authors: Mongioì L M , Condorelli R A , La Vignera S , Calogero A E
Published: December 2017

Objective

Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a chronic condition associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The treatment of AI in the last years has been object of important changes due to the development of a dual-release preparation of hydrocortisone. It differs from previous therapeutic strategy as it contemplates a once-daily tablet that allows more closely mimicking the physiological circadian cortisol rhythm. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of dual-release hydrocortisone treatment on the glycometabolic profile and health-related quality of life of patients with AI.

Design and Methods

In this clinical open trial, we enrolled ten patients with primary AI (41 ± 2.67 years) and nine patients with AI secondary to hypopituitarism (53.2 ± 17.7 years). We evaluated the glycometabolic profile before and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after dual-release hydrocortisone administration. We also evaluated health-related quality of life, estimated by the AddiQol questionnaire. The mean dose administered of dual-release hydrocortisone was 28.33 ± 6.68 mg/day.

Results

One female hypopituitary patient dropped out from the study. After 12 months of treatment, the mean dosage administered of dual-release hydrocortisone was significantly lower (P < 0.05) and all patients reported improved quality of life and well-being. The glycometabolic profile improved and the glycosylated hemoglobin decreased significantly in patients with primary AI (6.25 ± 0.2 vs 5.35 ± 0.17, P < 0.05). In contrast, hypopituitary patients had worse glycometabolic profile and a trend toward hypertriglyceridemia.

Conclusions

Dual-release hydrocortisone treatment improved the quality of life of patients with AI, and it allowed a decrease of cortisol dosage administered in the absence of side effects. The glycometabolic profile worsened in hypopituitary patients.
Reference Quality Genome Assemblies of Three Parastagonospora nodorum Isolates Differing in Virulence on Wheat
Authors: Richards Jonathan K , Wyatt Nathan A , Liu Zhaohui , Faris Justin D , Friesen Timothy L
Published: December 2017

Parastagonospora nodorum, the causal agent of Septoria nodorum blotch in wheat, has emerged as a model necrotrophic fungal organism for the study of host–microbe interactions. To date, three necrotrophic effectors have been identified and characterized from this pathogen, including SnToxA, SnTox1, and SnTox3. Necrotrophic effector identification was greatly aided by the development of a draft genome of Australian isolate SN15 via Sanger sequencing, yet it remained largely fragmented. This research presents the development of nearly finished genomes of P. nodorum isolates Sn4, Sn2000, and Sn79-1087 using long-read sequencing technology. RNAseq analysis of isolate Sn4, consisting of eight time points covering various developmental and infection stages, mediated the annotation of 13,379 genes. Analysis of these genomes revealed large-scale polymorphism between the three isolates, including the complete absence of contig 23 from isolate Sn79-1087, and a region of genome expansion on contig 10 in isolates Sn4 and Sn2000. Additionally, these genomes exhibit the hallmark characteristics of a “two-speed” genome, being partitioned into two distinct GC-equilibrated and AT-rich compartments. Interestingly, isolate Sn79-1087 contains a lower proportion of AT-rich segments, indicating a potential lack of evolutionary hotspots. These newly sequenced genomes, consisting of telomere-to-telomere assemblies of nearly all 23 P. nodorum chromosomes, provide a robust foundation for the further examination of effector biology and genome evolution.
SARTRE Y LA TRASCENDENCIA DEL EGO: LA PREPARACIÓN DE UNA FILOSOFÍA EXISTENCIAL A LA LUZ DE UNA “ONTOLOGÍA FENOMENOLÓGICA”
Authors: Escudero Morales Alejandro
Published: December 2017

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo señalar el procedimiento, que Jean Paul Sartre lleva a cabo en su primera obra filosófica, La trascendencia del ego. A nuestro juicio, esta obra al igual que El ser y la nada tiene como fundamento metodológico la llamada “ontología fenomenológica”. Con el fin de fundamentar esta tesis señalamos que el ego trascendente y el cogito tienen el mismo sentido ontológico que el ser-en-sí y ser-para-sí.

Bacteriological study of diabetic foot ulcer according to Wagner’s classification: a one-year study
Authors: Malepati Srikrishna , Vakamudi Prakash , Kandati Jithendra , Satish Sreeram
Published: December 2017

Background: Diabetes is considered as one of the most important and rapidly evolving non-communicable disease which requires top priority around the world. 10-25% of diabetics develop foot infections [DFI’s] during the course of their disease period ranging from simple calluses to major Osteomyelitis. 3 Microbial infections of the diabetic foot ulcers are difficult to manage because of multiple factors associated in response including overall glycaemic control, associated complications like vascular disease and neuropathy. The present study was done to assess the microbial flora according to Wagner’s classification for diabetic foot disease. To isolate, identify the aerobic bacterial pathogens and their drug sensitivity pattern with reference to ESBL productionMethods: A prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital by department of general surgery among Diabetics presenting with diabetic foot infections. All the enrolled cases were classified based on Wagner’s classification and socio demographic data was noted. Specimens from the ulcer were collected and processed for isolation, identification of pathogens based on standard CLSI guidelines. The antibiotic sensitivity of the isolates was done and ESBL production was demonstrated by standard guidelines.Results: 346 cases were enrolled in study and grade-3 Wagner’s ulcers were predominant. Males were predominant, 46-55 years age group was common with mean age of 55.3±1.4 years. Peripheral arterial disease was more common than peripheral neuropathy and both were found significantly associated with development of ulcers. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were most common isolates. MRSA exhibited maximum sensitivity to vancomycin, clindamycin and linezolid. Gram negative isolates exhibited maximum sensitivity to meropenems, piperacillin-tazobactam. The prevalence of ESBL producers in the study was 16.24%.Conclusions: DFI are a serious concern in uncontrolled diabetics and require proper management. Outcome of the infection depends upon the grading of the ulcer as per Wagner’s classification and also the nature of the infection either polymicrobial or with a single organism. Our study highlights and suggests that prospective multicentre studies are required to assess the appropriate antibiotic regimen in diabetic foot ulcers and proper management of antibiotics must be implemented to decrease the incidence and development of multi drug resistant organisms.
Differences in survival by race/ethnicity among cutaneous melanoma patients in the United States over a period from 1982 to 2011
Authors: Nasiri Abdulrahman M. , Al-Akeel Elharith S. , H. Rayes Nora
Published: December 2017

Background: Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with a high mortality rate. The incidence of melanoma has increased in recent years from 1:1500 in 1935 to 1:50 in 2011. The aim of this study is to investigate survival by race/ethnicity, taking site into account, among melanoma patients in the United States.Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. SEER collects data through a non-concurrent cohort study design. The sample size was 185219 participants. The chi-square test was used to examine the association between categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate the overall survival curve and to estimate the survival curve per race/ethnicity. Collinearity was assessed using Pearson correlation. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HR).Results: Non-Hispanic White (NHW) and Other patients were older in age (70 years or older), while non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic patients were younger (30-39 years). Melanoma in NHW patients was mostly located in trunk whereas melanoma for NHB, Hispanic and Other patients was mostly located in the lower limbs. For all races/ethnicities except for NHB, more individuals were diagnosed between 2002 and 2011. Patients with melanoma in upper limbs lived more frequently. Fewer women died (6.8%) compared to men (17.1%). Patients who were diagnosed between the ages of 30-39 were more likely to die. NHB had an adjusted HR of 3 (95% CI 2.7, 3.3) compared to NHW. The adjusted HR of lower limb was 1.6 (95% CI 1.5, 1,6) compared to the reference group (Head and Neck). The hazard for trunk and lower limb were about the same as the reference. Those who were 70 years or older had an adjusted HR of 2.2 (95% CI 2.0, 2.4). Women had an adjusted HR of 0.4 (95% CI 0.4, 0.5), and diagnosis during the decade 1982-1991 had an adjusted HR of 2.6 (95% CI 2.4, 2.7).Conclusions: NHB patients and patients of ages 30-39 years were more likely to die. The poorest survival was for diagnosis between 1982 and 1991. However, more individuals were diagnosed between 2002 and 2011. The lower limb had a worse prognosis with adjusted HR of 1.6 (95% CI 1.5, 1,6), and more men were diagnosed than women.
Significance of Monitoring and Control for Employees’ Felt Trust, Motivation, and Mastery
Authors: Bernstrøm Vilde Hoff , Svare Helge
Published: December 2017

The aim of the current study is to investigate the importance of monitoring and employee control for employees’ felt trust, as well as felt trust as a mediating variable between monitoring and control, intrinsic motivation and mastery. A random sample of 3015 Norwegian employees was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. Monitoring was negatively related to employees’ felt trust, while employees’ control over decisions was related to higher felt trust. In turn, felt trust was related to employees’ intrinsic motivation and experience of mastery. Felt trust also partially mediated the relationship between employee control and intrinsic motivation, employee control and mastery, and entirely mediated the relationship between monitoring and intrinsic motivation and monitoring and mastery. The findings highlight the importance of felt trust for theory related to the workplace: Our findings support that employees are less intrinsically motivated if they are monitored because they feel less trusted.

PHASE EQUILIBRIA STUDY OF SYSTEMS COMPOSED OF MACAUBA PULP OIL (Acrocomia aculeata), FREE FATTY ACIDS, AND HYDROUS ETHANOL AT 25ºC
Authors: Bastos de Rezende Daniel , Caño de Andrade Maria Helena , Duarte Pasa Vânya Márcia
Published: December 2017

The deacidification of vegetable oil by liquid-liquid extraction is based on the difference in solubility of the free fatty acids and triacylglycerols in the solvent. In the present study, the determination of the ternary phase diagram of the liquid-liquid equilibrium for a pseudo-ternary mixture of solvent (ethanol and water), neutral oil (triacylglycerols) and free fatty acids was performed. It is important to highlight that the macauba pulp oil sample used did not pass through any kind of treatment such as degumming or neutralization. Therefore, the free fatty acids in the sample are resulted from natural degradation of the macauba oil. Despite of that, the results were similar to those found in other studies with purified macauba oil or other sources of triacylglycerols with the addition of oleic acid. The experimental data were correlated by NRTL model and the global deviation between experimental and calculated concentrations was 2.74%.
PROCESSAMENTO DE BIOMASSA LIGNOCELULÓSICA PARA PRODUÇÃO DE ETANOL: UMA REVISÃO
Authors: Santiago Bárbara Luiza Silva , Rodrigues Fábio De Ávila
Published: December 2017

A sociedade é atualmente desafiada a conciliar a crescente demanda de energia com irrefutável necessidade de sustentabilidade. O esgotamento progressivo dos combustíveis fósseis e as emissões de gases de efeito estufa motivam o emprego de fontes de energia de caráter renovável, sustentável e de baixo custo. Nesse contexto, o etanol de segunda geração tem sido apontado com alternativa aos combustíveis derivados do petróleo, uma vez que é obtido a partir de biomassa lignocelulósica. A efetiva aplicação dos materiais lignocelulósicos requer etapas de pré-tratamento que promovem o fracionamento dos seus principais constituintes (celulose, hemicelulose e lignina). A combinação de diferentes tipos de pré-tratamentos é explorada visando aumento da recuperação dos açúcares e a mínima liberação de substancias com potencial ação inibitória ao metabolismo microbiano, que afetam a eficiência e produtividade do processo fermentativo. Esta breve revisão de literatura apresenta as principais tecnologias envolvidas no processamento da biomassa lignocelulósica para produção de etanol.

ResumoNeste estudo teve-se por objetivo sugerir o emprego de uma metodologia alternativa para mensuração da liquidez em mercados acionários. Para tanto, o procedimento empregado foi a Análise Fatorial de Séries Temporais (TSFA), proposta por Gilbert e Meijer (2005). Com base neste modelo, foram utilizados dados da negociação de ações da BM&FBOVESPA de dezembro de 1994 a junho de 2011 para cinco diferentes proxies de liquidez que foram empregadas na construção fatorial. No estudo permitiu-se observar a possibilidade de se combinarem diferentes medidas de liquidez para a formação de um único fator que demonstrou possuir uma forte associação com as proxies utilizadas em sua construção. Como vantagens, esse procedimento permite eliminar problemas de colinearidade em estimações estatísticas e possibilita que análises de investimento utilizem uma única variável para mensurar a liquidez ao invés de várias simultaneamente. Além disso, a construção fatorial pode ser replicada para novos dados, já que não é assumido um modelo dinâmico para os fatores, o qual é tratado simplesmente como um problema de mensuração.Palavras-chave: Liquidez.

We employed on that model, data from December, 1994 to June, 2011 of five liquidity proxies.  As findings, we observe that is possible to combine liquidity measures to create a unique factor, which show to have a high correlation with the liquidity proxies. The advantages of this procedure is to eliminate the problem of collinearity on statistical estimations and the possibility of use a single variable to measure liquidity in investment analysis. Furthermore, the factorial construction can be replicated for new datas, since is not assumed a dynamic model for the factors, which is treated simply as a measurement procedure.Keywords: Liquidity.

AbstractConsidering that the quality of financial decisions taken by individuals depends on their financial knowledge, abilities and attitudes, it is possible to state that the well-being of a population depends on how financially literate it is. In this context, the aim of this study was to measure the financial literacy level of university students in north of Mexico. The research method used was the survey and the data collected were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. As results, it was possible to confirm that financial attitudes of university students of north of Mexico influence their financial behavior. However, it was not confirmed that financial knowledge of these students impacts their financial behavior. As a high relationship between financial attitudes, financial behavior and financial knowledge of analyzed individuals was not found, it is concluded that the level of financial literacy of university students in the north of Mexico is low. It implies in the necessity to invest in financial literacy programs that could help this population to better manage their resources, what would certainly impact on its savings and consumption decisions, and retirement planning.Keywords: Financial Literacy. Financial Education. Structural Equation Modeling. Mexican Students. Investigando o nível de alfabetização financeira de estudantes universitários ResumoConsiderando que a qualidade das decisões financeiras tomadas pelos indivíduos depende de seus conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes financeiras, é possível afirmar que o bem-estar de uma população depende do quão financeiramente alfabetizada ela é. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi mensurar o grau de alfabetização financeira dos estudantes universitários do norte do México. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi a survey e os dados coletados foram analisados por meio da técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais. Como resultados, foi possível confirmar que as atitudes financeiras dos universitários do norte do México influenciam seu comportamento financeiro. Todavia, não se confirmou que o conhecimento financeiro desses estudantes impacta seu comportamento financeiro. Como não se encontrou uma forte relação entre os conhecimentos, atitudes e comportamentos financeiros dos indivíduos analisados, conclui-se que o nível de alfabetização financeira dos estudantes universitários do norte do México é baixo. Isso implica na necessidade de investir em programas de alfabetização financeira para auxiliar essa população a melhor gerir seus recursos, o que certamente irá impactar em suas decisões de poupança e consumo, assim como em seu planejamento de aposentadoria.Palavras-chave: Alfabetização financeira.

Los méritos del constitucionalismo global
Authors: Peters Anne
Published: December 2017

El constitucionalismo global es una agenda que identifica y defiende la aplicación de principios constitucionalistas en la esfera jurídica internacional. La constitucionalización global supone la aparición gradual de unas características constitucionalistas en el derecho internacional. Las críticas del constitucionalismo global tienden a dudar de la realidad empírica de la constitucionalización, lo que lleva a preguntarse por el valor analítico del constitucionalismo como aproximación académica y a preocuparse por que el discurso pueda ser normativamente peligroso al ser anti pluralista, por crear artificialmente una falsa legitimidad y por prometer unos fines políticos surreales. El presente artículo aborda estas objeciones. Se argumenta que la constitucionalización global podría compensar los déficits constitucionalistas a nivel nacional por la globalización inducida; que una lectura constitucionalista del derecho internacional podría servir como una herramienta hermenéutica, y que el vocabulario constitucionalista destapa los déficits de legitimidad del derecho internacional ofreciendo soluciones. El constitucionalismo global tiene entonces un verdadero y necesario potencial crítico y responsabilizador.
Aktywna rehabilitacja formą wsparcia w procesie aktywizacji społecznej osób niepełnosprawnych ruchowo
Authors: Król Katarzyna Maria
Published: December 2017

Pojawienie się dysfunkcji wpływa w określony sposób na funkcjonowanie człowieka, jego środowisko, relacje z innymi. Osoba z niepełnosprawnością ruchową potrzebuje umiejętności, które pozwolą jej odzyskać samodzielność, poczucie własnej wartości. Działanie wielu instytucji nakierowane jest na wyrównywanie szans, przeciwdziałanie dyskryminacji społecznej i zawodowej. Mimo wielotorowych działań, nadal zauważa się wykluczenie społeczne osób z różnorodnymi dysfunkcjami. Jedną z ciekawszych inicjatyw, wychodzącą naprzeciw potrzebom i oczekiwaniom osób niepełnosprawnych ruchowo, zwłaszcza po urazie rdzenia kręgowego, jest idea rehabilitacji środowiskowej, mająca swój rodowód w USA, a rozwinięta w Szwecji jako ruch Aktywnej Rehabilitacji. W Polsce propagowaniem i realizacją aktywnej rehabilitacji zajmuje się organizacja pozarządowa – Fundacja Aktywnej Rehabilitacji (FAR), która powstała z inicjatywy „wózkowiczów dla wózkowiczów”. W niniejszym artykule zostały zaprezentowane wyniki badań efektów działań Aktywnej Rehabilitacji, wspierających proces aktywizacji społecznej osób niepełnosprawnych ruchowo, a mających na celu aktywne włączanie tych osób w nurt życia społecznego, zwiększanie ich niezależności życiowej. Szczególny nacisk został położony na rolę wzorca osobowego w Aktywnej Rehabilitacji.
Konwalidacja małżeństwa kanonicznego
Authors: Bartczak Adam
Published: December 2017

Konwalidacja małżeństwa w prawie kanonicznym jest instytucją, procesem, w którym nieważnie zawarte małżeństwo zostaje uważnione w świetle prawa. W niniejszym artykule została podjęta problematyka konwalidacji, zwłaszcza w perspektywie samego nazewnictwa używanego przez autorów polskojęzycznych. Kanwą rozważań stało się rozróżnienie dwóch form konwalidacji, tj. konwalidacji zwykłej i uzdrowienia w zawiązku. W nomenklaturze przyjętej na gruncie polskiej kanonistyki używa się w zasadzie jednego określenia – uważnienie na określenie tych dwóch form, oczywiście przy jednoczesnym ich rozróżnieniu. Konwalidacja ma zasadnicze znaczenie w prawie kanonicznym, ponieważ nadaje skuteczność prawną małżeństwu, które przecież faktycznie istnieje.
Recepcja idei prawnej w stanowieniu i stosowaniu prawa
Authors: Malesa Wojciech
Published: December 2017

Rozumowanie prawnicze stanowi istotny element tworzenia i stosowania prawa. Dokonywane jest ono na kilku etapach: 1) debata towarzysząca tworzeniu prawa, 2) rozumowanie podmiotu stosującego prawo, 3) dyskurs sądowy i wreszcie 4) doktrynalna ocena rozstrzygnięć judykatury. W stanowieniu i stosowaniu prawa prawodawcy, użytkownicy, sędziowie i glosatorzy dotykają pewnej określonej koncepcji tworzącej normę prawną. Nawiązując do platońskiego zamysłu, można stwierdzić, iż owa koncepcja stanowi pewien byt idealny, który jest odczytywany na poszczególnych etapach. Na przykładzie wybranego przepisu z ustawy o stosunku Państwa do Kościoła katolickiego w RP autor artykułu wskazuje na rolę rozumowań prawniczych w tworzeniu i stosowaniu prawa na wszystkich etapach. Najistotniejsze jest właściwe odczytanie idealnego bytu prawnego oraz klarowne zapisanie go w treści aktów prawnych. Poprawne wykonanie tego zabiegu ułatwi dalsze etapy stosowania prawa.
Język polski w odmianie akademickiej. Propozycja programu kursu adresowanego do studentów zagranicznych przygotowujących się do studiów wyższych w Polsce
Authors: Zarzycka Grażyna
Published: December 2017

W niniejszym artykule zostały podjęte refleksje na temat problemów nauczania języków obcych, w tym języka polskiego jako obcego (jpjo), w odmianie akademickiej. W części wstępnej porównano terminologię obecną w naukowej anglojęzycznej i polskiej literaturze glottodydaktycznej, jak też omówiono wybrane praktyki w zakresie przygotowywania językowego studentów zagranicznych do podjęcia studiów w Polsce. Autorka stawia tezę, że kandydaci na studia w Polsce, niezależnie od wybranego kierunku, powinni posiąść określoną wiedzę socjokulturową, rozwinąć kompetencje i umiejętności przydatne w studiowaniu i komunikowaniu się z przedstawicielami środowiska uczelnianego. Owe uniwersalne „wspólne treści” stanowią podstawę, przedstawionego w części drugiej pracy, programu kursu przygotowującego cudzoziemców do studiów w Polsce.

O NADA EM SARTRE E ECKHART
Authors: Rossatto Noeli Dutra
Published: December 2017

Resumo: Estudos atuais relacionam o nada (neant) em Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) com o dos místicos medievais, entre os quais figura Mestre Eckhart (1260-1328). Um de seus sermões está citado textualmente por Sartre em Saint Genet – ator e mártir. Contudo, o filósofo francês não revela textualmente a fonte consultada. Em um primeiro momento, investigaremos a possibilidade de Sartre ter lido diretamente o místico alemão ou mediante a interpretação de Heidegger; ou ainda a do medievalista francês Etienne Gilson. Ao que parece, Sartre leu diretamente a obra do místico. No entanto, isso só nos leva a ter de mostrar, em outro momento, que a compreensão do nada (nicht) eckhartiano por Sartre resulta da leitura da obra do medievalista francês. É isso que, ao final, determinará a diferenciação entre um nada cognitivo e ideal, atribuído por Sartre a Eckhart, e um nada ontológico e existencial, resultante de seu existencialismo.Abstract: Current studies relate nothingness (neant) in Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) with that of the medieval mystics, among which figures Master Eckhart (1260-1328). One of his sermons is textually cited by Sartre in Saint Genet — actor and martyr. However, Sartre doesn’t textually reveal the referred source. At first, we will investigate whether a direct reading of the German mystic occurred, or if its reception took place by means of Heidegger’s interpretation or that of French medievalist Etienne Gilson. As it seems, Sartre read directly from the mystic’s work. However, secondly, we will show that the understanding of nothingness (nicht) in Eckhart results from the French medievalist’s interpretation. That is what will, ultimately, determine the differentiation between the cognitive and ideal nothingness in Eckhart and the ontological and existentialist nothingness in Sartre.
PHILOSOPHY AS RADICAL SOCIAL CRITIC: SUPPORTING COMMON PEOPLE AGAINST STRONG INSTITUTIONALISM AND SYSTEMIC POLITICS
Authors: Danner Leno Francisco
Published: December 2017

Abstract: I argue in this paper that the main task of contemporary philosophy as radical social critic is to face all institutional and systemic powers that monopolize social evolution and institutional legitimation, denying not only an inclusive democracy to common people, but also a democratization of all fields of society. Therefore, philosophy as social critic and political praxis must overcome both the separation between theory and practice and the affirmation of a strong institutionalism as well as the systemic explanation of institutions as the central core for the legitimation and fulfilment of social evolution.Resumen: Sostengo en este artículo que el objetivo principal de la filosofía contemporánea como crítica social es la contraposición y la contención de todos los poderes institucionales y sistémicos que monopolizan la evolución social y la legitimación institucional, socavando una democracia popular inclusiva, así como la democratización de todos los campos constitutivos de la sociedad. La filosofía como crítica social y práxis política debe superar tanto la separación entre teoría y prática como la afirmación y la hegemonía de un institucionalismo fuerte y de la explanación sistémica de las instituciones como la base central para la legitimación y la realización de la evolución social.
COMUNIDADE, PERSONALIDADE E DEUS – A ÉTICA RELIGIOSA DO JOVEM RAWLS NO HORIZONTE DA TEOLOGIA PROTESTANTE NEO-ORTODOXA
Authors: Rohling Marcos
Published: December 2017

Resumo: O propósito desse texto é apresentar as ideias formuladas por Rawls em sua monografia de graduação referentes aos conceitos de personalidade, comunidade e Deus. Nesse texto, suas ideias são caudatárias de uma reflexão iniciada muito antes a respeito da compreensão da relação do homem com Deus, no contexto de uma comunidade humana. Nesse sentido, parte-se das exposições de Buber e de Brunner, principiando pela exposição do pensamento de Buber, em função da larga influência que exerceu sobre os pensadores do movimento neo-ortodoxo, assim como sobre a teologia relacional, de caráter ético de Brunner. Enfim, serão examinadas as ideias de Rawls em sua monografia de conclusão de bacharelado, a tese sênior, notadamente aquelas sobre a personalidade, a comunidade e Deus, que constituem os eixos da sua concepção de ética, e contrastando essa ideia de Deus com a que é proposta em On My Religion.Abstract: This article aims to present the ideas proposed by Rawls in his graduate thesis regarding the concepts of personality, community and God. Rawls’s ideas in this text are a subservient reflection that began long before the understanding of the relationship between man and God, in the context of a human community. In this sense, this article is based on Buber’s and Brunner’s works, starting with the understanding of Buber’s thinking, which had large influence upon the thinkers of the neo-orthodox movement. It also focuses on the ethical character of Brunner’s relational theology. Finally, the article deals with Rawls’s ideas, developed in his undergraduate senior thesis, notably those on personality, community and God, which constitute the axes of his conception of ethics, comparing it to the idea of God presented in On My Religion.
Open Treatment of Radial Head Fractures
Authors: Adams Julie E. , Sems S. Andrew , Steinmann Scott P.
Published: December 2017

Radial head fractures may commonly be treated by (1) open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), (2) radial head excision, or (3) radial head replacement. If there is no associated elbow instability with lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) injury, the preferred approach is via a split in the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) origin. This provides a wide exposure but limits the risk of injury to the LUCL and associated instability. The radial head is fixed, excised, or replaced. Open treatment of radial head fractures begins with the following steps: (1) a laterally based incision is centered over the radiocapitellar joint, (2) the EDC is split at the midline of the radial head and elevated off the bone anteriorly and superiorly, and dissection proceeds distally, splitting the extensor origin along its fibers, and (3) the capsule is opened and the radial head fracture, identified.

For ORIF, provisional fixation is then obtained with Kirschner wires and small bone reduction clamps. Headless low-profile screws are preferred if possible. If a plate is used, the dissection proceeds distally and the posterior interosseous nerve may need to be identified and protected. Definitive fixation is applied in the safe zone for implant placement (i.e., a right angle based laterally when the forearm is in a neutral position).

For excision of the radial head as definitive treatment or for radial head replacement, the fragments are removed and an oscillating saw is used to remove additional radial neck or other fragments. When radial head excision is the definitive treatment, the radial neck is planed to a smooth contour that allows for placement of the prosthesis or for smooth motion without impingement at the proximal radioulnar joint. An indication for radial head replacement is suspicion of an Essex-Lopresti-type injury or demonstration of longitudinal instability of the forearm with excessive motion when a “push-pull” test is performed under fluoroscopy of the wrist while traction is applied to the radial neck.

The final step of open treatment of radial head fractures, before the wound is closed in layers, consists of assessment of the range of motion and use of fluoroscopy to confirm appropriate fixation, resection, or prosthetic position.

Outcomes following radial head fixation, resection, or arthroplasty for isolated radial head fractures are generally favorable. Loss of motion is particularly problematic in the pronation-supination arc in the setting of plate fixation, and patients are generally counseled that implant removal is often necessary. Loss of motion in the flexion-extension arc, particularly loss of terminal extension, may be noted. Resection of the radial head results in radiographic evidence of degenerative changes along the ulnohumeral joint, but this may be well tolerated as symptoms develop slowly, particularly in older patients. Radial head replacement results in changes in the capitellum over time, but these are usually asymptomatic.

Background

Suicide is a leading cause of death, particularly among young people. Continuity of care following discharge from hospital is critical, yet this is a time when individuals often lose contact with health care services. Offline brief contact interventions following a suicide attempt can reduce the number of repeat attempts, and text message (short message service, SMS) interventions are currently being evaluated.

Objective

The aim of this study was to extend postattempt caring contacts by designing a brief Web-based intervention targeting proximal risk factors and the needs of this population during the postattempt period. This paper details the development process and describes the realized system.

Methods

To inform the design of the intervention, a lived experience design group was established. Participants were asked about their experiences of support following their suicide attempt, their needs during this time, and how these could be addressed in a brief contact eHealth intervention. The intervention design was also informed by consultation with lived experience panels external to the project and a clinical design group.

Results

Prompt outreach following discharge, initial distraction activities with low cognitive demands, and ongoing support over an extended period were identified as structural requirements of the intervention. Key content areas identified included coping with distressing feelings, safety planning, emotional regulation and acceptance, coping with suicidal thoughts, connecting with others and interpersonal relationships, and managing alcohol consumption.

Conclusions

The RAFT (Reconnecting AFTer a suicide attempt) text message brief contact intervention combines SMS contacts with additional Web-based brief therapeutic content targeting key risk factors. It has the potential to reduce the number of repeat suicidal episodes and to provide accessible, acceptable, and cost-effective support for individuals who may not otherwise seek face-to-face treatment. A pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of the RAFT intervention is underway.
An athlete’s criminal liability towards spectators
Authors: Nabipour Mohammad
Published: December 2017

Abstract:

 

Basically and according to clause of article 158 of the Islamic penal code, approved in 2013 (sporting activities and accidents resulting from it, if the reason of accidents do not violate the rules related to that sport and these regulation are not in conflict with religious rules) there will be no criminal liability for the athlete. As it appears the athlete that will be exempted from any criminal offense when he has not violated the rules, however, if the athletes is offender whether the injured is opponent athlete or one of the spectators, the offending athletes will be liable for the penalty. In other words, what kind of criminal responsibility would be in these cases, if the act committed by him towards the spectator was deliberate (which would warrants retaliation) or a psedudo_deliberate error (which would warrants the payment of atonement and also sanction punishment it means that imprisonment 1 to 3 years in case of victim death by the offending athlete according to article 616 in sanction law) or vasted error (which would warrants prey for a loss by kinsmam) the responsibility of the athlete will be different.But whether the athlete respect to all of the rules he will be completely exempted from the damage that he enters into the spectator or not, is the point of disagreement which this article seeks to ask the question.

This paper is a survey article on queueing models with standbys support. Due to many real life applications of queueing models, it has become an interesting area for researchers and a lot of research work has been exerted so far. It is worthwhile to examine the performance based analysis for queueing modelling system as it provides a valuable insight to the tractability of the system and accelerates its efficiency. The provision of standbys to the queueing modelling of a real system is needed for smooth functioning in the presence of its unavoidable failures. The present survey provides a dig into the research work done, and emphasis the sequential developments on queueing models with standbys support.
