Authors: Cardona-Duque Deisy Viviana , Medina-Pérez Oscar Adolfo , Herrera-Castaño Sandra Milena , Orozco-Gómez Paula Andrea
Published: November 2017

Introducción. El VIH/sida es una enfermedad crónica, por ello es necesario reconocer qué factores favorecen la adhesión al tratamiento antirretroviral.Objetivo. Determinar la asociación entre adhesión al tratamiento antirretroviral y depresión, ansiedad, percepción de apoyo social y variables sociodemográficas en personas viviendo con VIH/sida en Quindío, Colombia.Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de tipo transversal en una muestra intencional de 70 adultos, a quienes se les aplicó el cuestionario autorreferido de Morisky-Green, el Inventario de Depresión de Beck, el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck, el cuestionario MOS (Medical Outcomes Study) de Apoyo Social y una encuesta sociodemográfica. Se realizaron análisis univariados y bivariados calculando Odds Ratio para determinar asociación (p<0.05).Resultados. 57.1% de los participantes reportó poca adhesión al tratamiento, 30% presentó síntomas depresivos moderados o graves, 71.4% puntuó niveles mínimos o leves de ansiedad y 77.1% tuvo baja percepción de apoyo social. Se encontró asociación estadística entre depresión —niveles altos triplicaron el riesgo de no adhesión— y autoevaluación de la manera como se sigue el tratamiento —excelente o buena aumentó cinco veces la probabilidad de adhesión—.Conclusión. La depresión y la autoevaluación del cumplimiento se asociaron con adhesión al tratamiento antirretroviral. Se sugiere profundizar el estudio de la percepción de apoyo social y variables cognitivas, como la autoeficacia y percepción de riesgo, en personas que viven con VIH/sida.
Should male children be vaccinated against human papillomavirus?
Authors: Legua-Pérez Gerardo Sebastián , Ramos-Canevaro José Fidel
Published: November 2017

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main risk factor for the development of cervical cancer in women and other types of malignancies in men, including penile, oropharyngeal and perianal cancer. These neoplasms take longer to be detected because the infection is asymptomatic and silent in men.
Implications of technical-instrumental rationality in health education: pending challenges
Authors: Beltrán-Veliz Juan Carlos , Muñoz-Navarro Sergio , Osses-Bustingorry Sonia , Navarro-Aburto Braulio , Peña-Troncoso Sebastián
Published: November 2017

The current era, characterized by postmodernism, puts a strain on the true meaning of higher education, specifically in relation to health, which has been guided by logics binding the technical, reflective and critical rationality of those who train professionals. One of the core concepts of this contemporary debate is the imposition of technical-instrumental rationality as the only paradigm of knowledge. This imposition eclipses the epistemological foundation of educational work and the teleological problems of every teaching act (1). Actually, in the words of Heidegger, insofar as man technically constructs the world as an object, the path to the open is voluntarily and completely obstructed. (2, p218). In this context, it is possible to observe the technical-instrumental rationality of knowledge, which constitutes one of the cognitive interests that underlies all human practices and, specifically, the teaching methods in health.

Sprachliche und ethnische Verhältnisse in Ungarns Luthertum an der Wende vom 16. zum 17. Jahrhundert
Authors: Csepregi Zoltán
Published: November 2017

Ein besonderer Zug des Luthertums in Ungarn ist dessen ethnische Vielfalt. In der Studie wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche jene Volkssprachen sind, in denen Ungarns lutherische Geistliche um das Jahr 1600 ihre Gottesdienste feierten, predigten, sangen und schrieben. Wenn man aus den Quellen erhebt, mit welchen ethnischen Attributen die Prediger der mehrsprachigen lutherischen Kirchengemeinden damals bezeichnet wurden, kommt folgende Liste zustande: böhmisch, deutsch, kroatisch, polnisch, sächsisch, slowakisch, ungarisch und windisch. Wenn man also die Predigtsprachen zusammenzählt, könnte man (abhängig von der Zuordnung einzelner Dialekte) zu einer Zahl von 6 bis 8 Sprachen gelangen. Die Anzahl der liturgischen Sprachen ist hingegen viel geringer, denn diese standen bereits mit der Buchkultur und den Schriftsprachen in Verbindung. Liturgische Literatur (vor allem Agenden, Gebet- und Gesangsbücher, sowohl gedruckte als auch handschriftliche) stand nämlich nur in vier Sprachen zur Verfügung: Tschechisch, Ungarisch, Deutsch und Slowenisch. Für die Pfarramtskandidaten war es darum nötig, sich andere Volkssprachen anzueignen. Der Fremdsprachenerwerb geschah nicht mit schulischen Methoden, sondern in der Praxis, in der Umgebung von Muttersprachlern. Der hier unternommene Rundblick über Ungarns Luthertum vom Übermurgebiet bis zum Burzenland bezieht sich auf die Zeit um 1600. Die Mehrsprachigkeit war hier damals noch alltägliche Praxis, heute existiert sie jedoch nur noch als kulturelle Erinnerung und als weitestgehend untergegangene Tradition. Die Lutheraner konnten sich aber dank ihrer historischen Wurzeln doch eine besondere Offenheit und ein Verhalten gegenseitigen Respekts und gegenseitiger Annahme aus dieser Zeit herüberretten.
Sign – symbol – decoration: the relationship of image and text in 16th –17th century Hungarian calendars
Authors: Dukkon Ágnes
Published: November 2017

This study tries to give an overview of the varied connections between word and image in the calendars and other popular works (penny books, manuscript song collections) of the late Renaissance and Baroque. The author investigates the associations and influences from different fields of culture, considers ancient topoi and archetypes which underwent a great many transformations over space and time. In the first part of this paper are examined some non-traditional figures in the calendar for 1578 (Kolozsvár-Cluj, Heltai’s office) like mermaids/sirens in the role of Aquarius and Virgo, and the appearence of these figures on the painted furniture and ceiling panels of 18th -century Calvinist churches in Hungary.

The second part of this article deals with some typical title pages of calendars, edited in different printing houses of Upper Hungary (by Lorentz Brewer in Lőcse/Levoča, the serie Calendarium Tyrnaviense, Nagyszombat/Trnava) from the second half of the 17th century, and with the calendars of David Frölich, published in Breslau (Wrocław, PL) between 1623 and 1646.
Újdonságok a gyermekkori immunthrombocytopenia kezelésében – 2017
Authors: Kovács Gábor , Kiss Csongor
Published: November 2017

Abstract:

Immune thrombocitopenia in children is a very variable disease. International recommendations give therapeutic possibilities without strong protocols. In 2011, a therapeutic algorithm was published based on Hungarian practice. Recently, new innovative drugs have been available even in Hungary, so there is a need for modification of the therapeutic protocols. In this summary we give an overview about the current up-to-date management. In infancy and in childhood, high-dose immunglobulin treatment is recommended henceforward. In older children an alternative can be steroid therapy (pulses or long-term low-dose treatment). In resistant cases, a new thrombopoetin receptor stimulant, eltrombopag can be administered. This drug is registered in Hungary, and can very effectively influence the prognosis. Splenectomy is very rare nowadays in children. Immune thrombocytopenia is an unpredictable disease. Cure rate is about 70–80% of the cases, but management of the patients needs special care and specialist. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(48): 1891–1896.
Integração de políticas ambientais no Brasil: uma análise de políticas de mudanças climáticas e biodiversidade
Authors: Donadelli Flavia
Published: November 2017

Resumo Este trabalho discute a importância e o estado atual da integração de políticas ambientais das áreas de mudança do clima e da biodiversidade no Brasil. Ele apresenta e avalia criticamente o pressuposto teórico de que diferenças em termos de culturas burocráticas resultarão em dificuldades de integração de políticas. Com base no arcabouço teórico da teoria cultural (grid-group), argumenta-se que a tendência igualitária desenvolvida na implementação de políticas de biodiversidade diverge e potencialmente prejudica a integração dessa área com a de mudanças climáticas, cuja tendência cultural predominante observada foi hierárquica. Por fim, o papel das lideranças políticas em superar barreiras institucionais representadas por culturas burocráticas é também apresentado como um fator importante, relativizando e qualificando as previsões da teoria cultural.

RESUMO Objetivos Comparar os níveis de insatisfação corporal, checagem corporal e comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares entre graduandas de diferentes cursos da área de saúde, bem como avaliar a associação da checagem corporal e a insatisfação corporal, em cada curso de graduação. Métodos Participaram 92 universitárias com idade entre 18 e 35 anos, da cidade de Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, que responderam a instrumentos de autorrelato sobre: dados sociodemográficos, insatisfação corporal (Body Shape Questionnaire), comportamentos de checagem corporal (Body Checking Questionnaire) e comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares (Eating Attitudes Test-26). Foi realizada estatística descritiva, inferencial (Kruskal-Wallis) e teste de correlação de Spearman utilizando o software SPSS 21.0 e adotando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados Os testes de comparação não demonstraram diferenças para a insatisfação corporal (H (4, 92) = 3,534260, p = 0,47), checagem corporal (H (4, 92) = 3,154817, p = 0,53) e comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares (H (4, 92) = 4,435904, p = 0,35) entre os cursos analisados. Foi encontrada associação significativa das variáveis checagem corporal e insatisfação corporal para quase todos os cursos, exceto Nutrição (rspearman = 0,01, p > 0,05), sendo Farmácia aquele que apresentou relação forte entre essas variáveis (rspearman superior a 0,80). Conclusões Conclui-se não haver diferenças significativas para as variáveis insatisfação corporal, checagem corporal e comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares entre as estudantes dos cursos da área de saúde. Destaca-se, contudo, variações na importância de algumas variáveis, como a checagem corporal, na construção da imagem corporal dos sujeitos.

Published: November 2017

RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar e descrever os achados ultrassonográficos do útero de éguas gestantes de diferentes idades, de jumento e garanhão, utilizando a técnica de ultrassonografia Doppler Espectral, visando caracterizar os índices de resistência (RI) e pulsatilidade (PI) até 154 dias de gestação. Foram utilizadas 20 éguas em idade reprodutiva, sem raça definida. As avaliações foram realizadas nas artérias uterinas. Não foi constatada interação entre os valores de RI e PI obtidos nos cornos uterinos (que iniciaram ou não a gestação) com o tempo da gestação (P>0,05), desta forma os dados foram discutidos separadamente. Não foram encontradas diferenças entre as avaliações de RI e PI quando comparado os cornos que iniciaram ou não a gestação (P>0,05). Verificou-se efeito de tempo (P<0,05) sobre o PI, onde no D70 foi constatada a menor média quando comparado aos tempos D0, D7, D14 e D21. Não f oi encontrado efeito de tempo sobre o RI (P>0,05). As éguas gestantes de jumento apresentaram maior vascularização uterina no corno não gestante, que as éguas gestantes do garanhão. Com exceção do RI no lado não gravídico, foi verificado efeito de idade da fêmea sobre o lado da gestação (P<0,05), onde as éguas idosas, tanto no corno que iniciou a gestação e o contralateral, tiveram PI e RI mais altos, ou seja, menos vascularizados. Concluiu-se que a vascularização uterina não apresentou diferença entre os cornos uterinos. Há um aumento da vascularização uterina no 70º dia de gestação. Éguas gestantes de jumentos apresentaram maior vascularização uterina, quando comparada às éguas gestantes de garanhões. Éguas com idade acima de 15 anos apresentaram menor vascularização uterina, quando comparadas com idade inferior a 15 anos.
Natural restoration of mechanical properties of concrete subjected to high temperature
Authors: Li Qingtao , Pang Haolei , Yuan Guanglin
Published: November 2017

The effects of heating temperature, cooling method, re-curing time and water-to-cement ratio (w/c) on the natural restoration of mechanical properties of concrete exposed to high temperature were experimentally studied. The fire-damaged concrete specimens were re-cured in ambient conditions after they had been rapidly cooled in water and naturally cooled in air. Below 500°C, the natural restoration of the compressive strength of water-cooled concrete was more evident than that of air-cooled concrete. The natural restoration of the compressive strength of air-cooled concrete with low w/c ratio was more obvious than that of concrete with high w/c ratio. After being subjected to 500°C and re-cured for 3 months, the splitting tensile strength decreased to below 26% of the initial value. The splitting tensile strength of water-cooled concrete recovered more evidently than that of the air-cooled concrete. The restoration of elastic modulus was mainly affected by the heating temperature and cooling method. The elastic modulus of water-cooled concrete which had been subjected to 200, 300 and 400°C was obviously restored after being naturally re-cured for 3 months. The effects of w/c on the tensile strength and elastic modulus were not significant.
Effect of molecular weight of slow-release Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer on the properties of cementitious system
Authors: Liu Jinzhi , Yang Yong , Zhang Qian , Shu Xin , Ran QianPing , Liu JiaPing
Published: November 2017

In order to improve the fluidity retention performance of cement, monomers containing ester groups were introduced into slow-release polycarboxylate superplasticisers (PCEs). Four slow-release PCEs with different molecular weights (Mw) were synthesised through aqueous free radical polymerisation. The effect of the molecular weight of slow-release PCEs on the dispersion performance, hydrolysis reaction ratio, adsorption process and hydration of cement was investigated systematically. Due to the hydrolysis reaction, the amount of adsorbed groups continued to increase over time. The adsorption amount of PCEs on the cement particles increased with increasing Mw, indicating that Mw was the main factor affecting adsorption. The retardation of cement hydration was weakened with increased Mw, due to a reduction in the number of molecules adsorbed on the surface of the cement particles. Among the four PCEs, the PCE with medium Mw displayed excellent initial dispersion. The PCE with the highest Mw exhibited the worst dispersion retention, the strongest adsorption capacity and the most cement hydration acceleration. The PCE with the lowest Mw showed outstanding dispersion retention and the maximum delay in cement hydration. According to fluidity retention requirements, an appropriate Mw may be thus selected, which provides a reference for the synthesis and performance of slow-release PCEs.
Chemical and mechanical activation of hybrid fly ash cement
Authors: du Toit Grizelda , Kearsley Elsabé P. , Mc Donald James M. , Kruger Richard A. , van der Merwe Elizabet M.
Published: November 2017

Hybrid fly ash cement is a binder with a composition between that of pozzolanic fly ash cement and alkali-activated fly ash cement. Its production requires less cement clinker than ordinary Portland cement, facilitating a much-needed reduction in the carbon dioxide footprint related to the production of high-clinker-containing cement. Research on activation methods is required to overcome the low early age strength and slow strength development in hybrid fly ash cements. In this study the activation of a South African siliceous fly ash (70%) for use along with Portland cement (30%) in a hybrid alkaline binder was investigated. Both chemical (the addition of sodium sulfate) and mechanical (milling) activation of fly ash was studied. The aim of this work was to develop a better understanding of the characteristics of compressive strength development of hybrid fly ash cement mortars over an extended curing period of up to a year. The results indicated that the combination of mechanical and chemical activation (sodium sulfate) can be considered a viable solution to improving early strength and slow strength development, so that hybrid cements are able to comply with the strength requirements of the BS EN 197 cement specification.
The Continuing Validity of Monetary Policy Autonomy Under Floating Exchange Rates
Authors: Nelson Edward
Published: November 2017

Economic research in recent years has given considerable prominence to the issue of whether a floating exchange rate provides autonomy with regard to monetary policy to a central bank whose economy is highly open. In particular, Rey (2016) has argued that inflation-targeting advanced economies lack monetary policy autonomy by pointing to results suggesting that U.S. monetary policy shocks matter for the behavior of key financial variables in these economies. In contrast, it is argued in this paper that monetary autonomy does prevail in inflation-targeting advanced economies, notwithstanding the reaction of these economies’ asset prices to U.S. monetary policy developments. The reason is that the monetary-autonomy argument, as advanced by Milton Friedman and as embedded in new open-economy models, rests on the fact that the monetary base is insulated from foreign influences under floating rates. This fact allows the home monetary authority to pursue a stabilization policy in which it has a decisive influence on nominal variables in the long run, as well as a short-run influence on real variables. The result that rest-of-world monetary policy is among the other factors affecting the short-run behavior of real variables (including real asset prices) in a small, floating-rate open economy turns out to be consistent with the traditional and appropriate concept of monetary policy autonomy under floating exchange rates. It follows that such effects of rest-of-world monetary policy on the home economy are consistent with the celebrated open-economy trilemma.
Revisiting the peroneal trochlea of the StW 352 calcaneus
Authors: McNutt Ellison J. , Claxton Alexander G. , Carlson Kristian J.
Published: November 2017

StW 352, from Sterkfontein Member 4 (South Africa), is a partial calcaneus attributed to Australopithecus africanus and is dated to ~2.0–2.6 Ma. The unusual robusticity of the peroneal trochlea (PT) of StW 352 has been commented on by several authors. The size of hominin PTs has been hypothesised to be positively correlated with the degree of recruitment of peroneus longus during bipedal locomotion and/ or climbing. Given the potential functional relevance of an enlarged PT for reconstructing hominin activity patterns, we present the following previously unrecognised structural details of the reconstructed StW 352 that affect current interpretations of its functional morphology: (1) we estimate that the PT has been reattached to the body of the calcaneus ~5 mm dorso-distally from its original anatomical position; and (2) the presence of intrusive matrix has artificially misshaped the PT by expanding it laterally and proximodistally. Future studies of this specimen that apply geometric morphometrics, or other shape analysis tools, should compensate for these inaccuracies before undertaking comparisons between it and other calcanei. Additionally, given that the PT is likely smaller than previously reported for StW 352, caution should be exercised when using it to infer muscle function and extrapolate activity patterns of this individual, and thus by extension, within Australopithecus africanus in general. Lastly, these findings highlight the importance of not only the production of accurate reconstructions, but also the critical evaluation of the accuracy of existing reconstructions when working with damaged fossil material.

Significance: 

This work epitomises the value of critically evaluating original fossil reconstructions, especially of postcranial elements.
New technologies (e.g. microCT) offer non-destructive opportunities for evaluating/improving the accuracy of fossil reconstructions.
Re-assessing StW 352 suggests peroneal muscles may have factored less prominently in A. africanus locomotion than previously thought.

Quando o Kadish é para nossos filhos e para os filhos dos outros: estratégias socioculturais do Sonderkommando em Saul fia/Filho de Saul, de László Nemes
Authors: Santana Jorge Alves
Published: November 2017

Em uma crucial sequência do filme Saul fia/Filho de Saul, 2015, do diretor húngaro László Nemes, acompanhamos, no auge da “Solução Final” na Shoah, um membro do Sonderkommando que é Saul Ausländer (Géza Röhrig) abordando um rabino nos territórios de Auschwitz-Birkenau: “Rabbi: Livre-se dele. Você conhece a reza? Eu rezarei. O nome dele. Não dá para fazer nada além disso. Saul: Não é o suficiente. Você sabe disso. Você sabe!” Saul, nesse contexto, deseja obsessivamente realizar o ritual do Kadish para um garoto, apresentado como seu suposto filho, que morrera recentemente na câmara de gás e deverá ter o corpo cremado como centenas de milhares de pessoas nesses específicos campos de concentração e de extermínio. Tendo esse filme como corpus de estudo, observaremos e analisaremos como uma prática religiosa e cultural é capaz de reestabelecer memórias da tradição judaica em plena Shoah, ressensibilizar sujeitos desumanizados pelos variados e crônicos dispositivos de violências, bem como, e sobretudo, estender essa prática do cuidado e do respeito humano para os demais povos envolvidos pela tragédia.
The Limits of Literary Testimony: Understanding Levi’s Paradox
Authors: Oliveira Lucas Amaral de
Published: November 2017

Auschwitz has often been thought of as an indescribable event that is beyond all possible linguistic means of representation. Italian author Primo Levi (1919-1987) attempted to address this problem revealing the aporetic (and paradoxical) nature of the process of elaborating a literary testimony: impossible, but necessary. This article aims to analyse some of the ethical and epistemological issues that testimony of a traumatic event can raise for literature. The hypothesis is that the testimony, as Levi elaborated it, contains a lacuna or a void, which is in fact what constitutes it: while witnesses present the limit-experience out of obligation, they cease to convey others due to inability or incapacity. The argument here is that what makes a testimony on a traumatic event possible is its incomplete nature, which gives strength to the process of communicating limit-experiences.
Os refugiados judeus em Portugal: memórias de exílio
Authors: Pignatelli Marina
Published: November 2017

Este artigo centra-se na análise de um conjunto de memórias de judeus refugiados em Portugal durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Os dados foram recolhidos mediante entrevistas em profundidade a alguns dos poucos destes refugiados que ficaram, dos milhares que por cá passaram, nos meados do século XX, em fuga do Holocausto e analisados à luz de lentes teóricas da antropologia, por uma metodologia qualitativa. O modelo interpretativo seguido, além do alinhamento histórico necessário, contempla as perspectivas em roda da noção de memória, de refugiado e de ritos de passagem, sobretudo atendendo ao momento da chegada dos judeus em busca de exílio, em Portugal naquela época.

Papillary tumor of the pineal region
Authors: Zaimoglu Murat , Yakar Fatih , Dogan Ihsan , Caglar Yusuf Sukru
Published: November 2017

Pineal region tumors make up 0.4-1.0% of intracranial tumors in adults. These tumors may arise from pineal gland itself or structures around pineal gland which are all termed as pineal region tumors. Papillary tumor of the pineal region is a non-parenchymal tumor of the pineal region. It was first documented in 2003. We presented a 21 years old female patient with pineal tumor. Supracerebellar infratentorial approach was performed. The total excision of the lesion was achieved successfully. Histopathological examination revealed papillary tumor of the pineal region. The case is discussed in the light of our preoperative surgical experience, its pre-and post-operative radiological and histopathological evaluation. Supracerebellar infratentorial approach is encountered as the favoured approach generally. As recurrence rates are high, adjuvant treatment is advised after surgery. Further research on this pathology will enlighten the neurosurgeons for effective treatment.
Hartmann’s rectal stump revisited preoperative evaluation prior to reversal
Authors: Munger Jordan Ari , Horesh Nir , Naymagon Steven , Bauer Joel J.
Published: November 2017

Hartmann’s procedure is the gold standard surgical intervention in a variety of emergencies. Hartmann's Reversal is a complex procedure and has high rates of intra-operative and post-operative complications. There are no clear guidelines or recommendations for pre-operative evaluation of the remnant colorectal pouch prior to restoration of intestinal continuity. We present two patients who underwent Hartmann reversal. In both cases, during pre-operative endoscopic evaluation of the Hartmann colorectal pouch, a stricture was incorrectly thought to be the pouch’s blind end and the anastomosis was formed proximal to that stricture. In case 1, a partial obstruction developed that was successfully treated with endoscopic balloon dilatation. In case 2, a complete obstruction occurred, requiring emergent re-operation with formation of a bypass around the stricture. Surgeons and gastroenterologists should be aware of this diagnostic pitfall, and consider pre-operative evaluation that includes both endoscopic and radiologic evaluation in patients being considered for reversal.
Suture granuloma mimicking axillary recurrence in bilateral breast carcinoma: a case report
Authors: Huda Farhanul , Kumar Vinod , Kumar Navin , Kishore Sanjeev
Published: November 2017

An axillary mass caused by foreign body reaction post mastectomy is a rare occurrence and may pose a diagnostic challenge. We report our experience with a case of suture granuloma of the axilla mimicking recurrence in a patient with aggressive bilateral breast carcinoma. A 47-year-old female presented with left axillary swelling following bilateral modified radical mastectomy for carcinoma. Radiological and pathological investigations were equivocal. A provisional diagnosis of recurrence was made, and the swelling was excised. On histopathology it was found to be a suture granuloma.
Locally optimal control of space tug motion between the libration points of the Earth-Moon system
Authors: Starinova O. L. , Fain M. K.
Published: November 2017

The article deals with the locally optimal control of space tug transfers between the libration points of the Earth-Moon system using low-thrust engines. The control program was obtained using the Fedorenko method to find derivatives and a variable-step gradient method to optimize control laws. All flights were considered within the restricted three-body problem. The mathematical model of flight was described in a barycentric coordinate system. The total flight time was assumed as the optimization criterion. The disturbances from the Earth, the Moon and the Sun were taken into account. The influence of shadow zones created by the Earth and the Moon was examined. Laws of control, trajectories and values of the total flight time were obtained as a result of optimization.
Iteration procedure of choosing a low-thrust rendezvous transfer control program in problems of space debris disposal in the geostationary orbit
Authors: Philippov G. A.
Published: November 2017

The problem of controlling rendezvous between a debris collector spacecraft and fragments of space debris in the geostationary orbit is studied. Relative motion in the orbital cylindrical coordinate system is considered. A linearized model of motion is used; relative motion is divided into periodic and secular components on the basis of the model. Motion control is carried out by thrust acceleration reversal. The problem of control is divided into two parts. The first iteration implies analytical determination of a control program using a linearized motion model. The program is based on the control of secular components of relative motion. The second iteration consists in refining the control program obtained earlier using the original math model and the analytical solution obtained in the first iteration. Numerical simulation of motion is carried out. We established that it is rational to start the rendezvous transfer at the moment when the debris collector spacecraft is positioned below and to the right or above and to the left relative to the space debris fragment.

Experimental study of a method of reducing the drag of a circular cylinder by installing a flat plate
Authors: Frolov V. A. , Kozlova A. S.
Published: November 2017

The article describes experimental investigation of a method of reducing the drag of a circular cylinder. We consider installation of a flat plate parallel to the flow before the cylinder. The results for the cylinder drag coefficient depending on various locations of the flat plate relative to the cylinder are presented. The following geometric characteristics are studied: the reference chord of the plate and the angle of the plates position with respect to the cylinder. It was found that the drag coefficient depends on the location of the plate relative to the cylinder. The article presents experimental results that were obtained in the wind tunnel of Samara University. The locations of the plate relative to the cylinder that provide the lowest value of the drag coefficient are identified.
Modeling external thermal influence of infrared radiation sources during tests of rocket and space equipment in VK-600/300
Authors: Dobritsa D. B. , Ushakova A. A. , Shabarchin A. F. , Yashchenko B. Yu.
Published: November 2017

The paper presents the solution of the problem of simulation of the effect of radiant heat fluxes from infrared sources (IRS) on the surface of spacecraft and their modules during complex tests in a vacuum chamber (VC) 600/300. We suggest using empirical dependences as a solution to the problem of promptly obtaining the results of calculating the density of thermal radiation fluxes on the elements of the surface of a space vehicle when performing complex tests. A brief description of the design features of the IRS module is presented, which is necessary for constructing a mathematical model of thermal radiation distribution. The layout of IRS modules accommodation in VC 600/300 is shown and the main energy characteristics calculated in the modeling of radiant heat fluxes are determined. The article shows the empirical dependences obtained for calculating the energy characteristics of the IRS modules on the electric power supplied to the radiating elements. The results of calculating the distribution of the IR flux density using empirical relationships are shown in comparison with the results of calculations using a software package and with the experimental measurements obtained.

We propose a method of selecting the orbit for spin-stabilized spacecraft in order to obtain maximum electric energy on board due to the spacecraft motion in the earth magnetic field. The article describes the peculiarities of using additional low-power energy sources for power supply systems of small space vehicles. A method is proposed for taking into account the complex dependence of the position of the resultant magnetic induction vector on the spatial attitude of the spacecraft for converting the energy of the earth magnetic field into electric power.

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a percepção dos gestores e clientes-fidelidade em uma rede de supermercado no Ceará em relação às práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa e descritiva quanto ao objetivo, com uma amostra de 11 gestores e 22 clientes-fidelidade. Para a compreensão dos dados utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram a existência de práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental, implantadas de forma contínua e outras de caráter pontual, como ações de responsabilidade ambiental, políticas de compra, uso alternativo de embalagens, etc., entretanto, são desconhecidas pelos clientes-fidelidade da rede pesquisada. Pode-se concluir que, no contexto pesquisado, as práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental evidenciadas contribuem para a preservação do meio ambiente, porém, ainda são percebidas de forma genérica por parte do seu público.
Review of Health Literacy and Nutrition-Related Research in the Middle East
Authors: Wikkeling-Scott Ludmilla F. , Rikard R.V.
Published: November 2017

Aim: In the Middle East where nutrition-related diseases continue to be on the rise, health literacy related research may provide meaningful insight to patient-provider communication, nutrition and general health behavior, to improve health outcomes. Yet, little is known about health literacy in the region. We provide insight into the current research on health literacy and nutrition-related outcomes in the region. Methods: English-language articles were identified using relevant keywords to search PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and ProQuest Middle East & African. Inclusion criteria were quantitative and qualitative studies of any design focused on health literacy and nutrition-related health outcomes in the Middle East. We identified 22 unduplicated articles that met inclusion criteria.Results: To date, only three studies employ a validated health literacy measure to examine the relationship between health literacy and nutrition-related disease outcomes (e.g., diabetes, overweight, and obesity). However, the research findings from the three studies cannot be generalized to larger populations within each country. Participants were patients who regularly visited health care facilities. The limited samples may bias conclusions regarding health literacy and the influence on nutrition-related disease outcomes.Conclusions: Research is needed to understand health literacy and health literacy needs in Middle East countries, which are known for their racial and ethnic, and socio-economic diversity. Researchers can take advantage of the multitude of health literacy tools which have been validated and are readily available for use in diverse populations. Established health literacy measures provide greater benefit than developing brand new assessments when important information is urgently needed to address nutrition-related health outcomes.

The interdisciplinary approach has risen in the modern curricula as it is considered an important and challenging technique. Physical education is a prime content area for interdisciplinary learning. In order to integrate different subject areas into Physical Education lessons, the specialist needs to learn more about the academic curriculum. Integrating core subjects with physical activity can easily be done and can be very beneficial to student learners in all levels of Education. A great effort is done in addition to be integrated with other subjects. Over the last twenty years there have been frequent internal changes at international level, which also affect pre-school curricula. This trend has been intensified in recent years, with unprecedented mobility being observed, to the point of demanding a fundamental reform of the educational mission of the kindergarten.  An interdisciplinary approach has been at the core of attention in primary and secondary school education recently.In this approach, teachers collaborate to invent and apply more effective means of teaching by associating the subjects and activities of a school subject in the curriculum with other subjects. The basic aim and purpose is to cultivate skills and values such as cooperatives, flexibility, adaptability, solidarity, but above all to provide basic knowledge, exploration, classification, selection, evaluation, resolution, and observation.
O ato infracional e a prática jurídica processual: uma análise discursiva
Authors: Anjos Hildete Pereira dos , Sales Rubeilton Guilherme
Published: November 2017

A pesquisa propôs investigar as práticas discursivas no processo de ato infracional, objetivando identificar as formações discursivas e suas relações na trama discursiva de um processo judicial de ato infracional. Metodologicamente, mobilizou as teorias e procedimentos da análise de discurso a partir dos conceitos foucaultianos de discurso, formação discursiva, regularidade discursiva e enunciado. A partir da análise dos enunciados identificados no processo, à luz da literatura acerca da adolescência, da criminologia e sociologia, bem como da história dos direitos e das políticas de atendimento à criança e ao adolescente no Brasil, identificou-se formações discursivas do “adolescente em perigo” e do “adolescente perigoso” e os respectivos discursos que, em sua coexistência, dão conformação a tais formações discursivas.
Estereótipos e subjetividade na argumentação em sentenças judiciais
Authors: Cabral Ana Lúcia Tinoco , Conceição Antonio Marcos
Published: November 2017

As ações judiciais têm por função dirimir conflitos de interesse; cabe ao juiz determinar aquele que poderá ser considerado o detentor do direito, o que ele faz na sentença judicial. Ao longo do tempo, consolidou-se na sociedade a ideia de que os magistrados exercem seu papel de julgador de forma neutra e imparcial. O artigo põe em questão essa ideia e, visando a observar como o juiz marca suas crenças  ao proferir as sentenças, apresenta, a título de exemplificação, a análise de uma sentença judicial, na qual verifica a presença de estereótipos e como eles manifestam a subjetividade na argumentação desenvolvida para fundamentar as decisões finais e justificar a sentença proferida.  A base teórica para o desenvolvimento do texto constitui o estudo dos estereótipos (Amossy e Pierrot, [1997] 2007), aliado à questão da subjetividade da linguagem (Kerbrat-Orecchioni, [1980] 1997.

Published: November 2017

A concepção de discurso político tem causado inúmeras discussões na área de Linguística e de Análise Crítica de Discurso, devido à amplitude de seus objetivos e demandas. Comumente o discurso político representa uma seara de textos, oficiais ou não, produzidos por agentes políticos reconhecidos pelo sistema político vigente em uma sociedade. Em nossa visão, tal tema merece mais detalhamento, uma vez que as esferas sociais em que a política é discutida são variadas, o que gera práticas discursivas distintas. Dessa forma, este estudo visa a promover uma discussão sobre concepções de discurso político e apresentar uma ampliação de conceitos, o que pode auxiliar as investigações em discursos dessa área. Como resultado de nossa investigação, propomos uma tripartição discursiva: discurso político; discurso do político; discurso sobre política, como o discurso praticado pelos meios de comunicação ou até mesmo pelas conversas individuais, tomando por base acontecimentos da esfera política.
De compostos nominais produtivos a um sistema incipiente de classificação nominal em Apurinã (Aruák)
Authors: FACUNDES Sidi , FREITAS Marília Fernanda Pereira de
Published: November 2017

A natureza semântica dos sistemas de classificação nominal tem recebido muita atenção na literatura linguística, em termos de sua semântica subjacente, gramática e, em menor extensão, de propriedades discursivo-pragmáticas (ADAMS, 1986; vários artigos em CRAIG, 1986; CORBETT, 1991; AIKHENVALD, 2003; entre muitos outros). Menos atenção, no entanto, tem sido dada a sistemas de classificação também usados com funções mais derivacionais, em que um nome classificatório é frequentemente usado para expandir o vocabulário da língua. A fim de ilustrar a propriedade definidora de tais nomes classificatórios, podemos compará-los com um sistema de classificação típico, tal como os classificadores numerais tailandeses (Sino-Tibetano, Tailândia). Em tailandês, um classificador numeral como kon, usado para pessoas, como em kru?u song kon (professor dois CLF) „dois professores?, é empregado para quantificar referentes humanos no discurso. Em Apurinã (Aruák), um nome classificatório como tãta „casca (de árvore)? pode ser produtivamente usado para derivar novos lexemas, tais como uku-tãta (uku-casca de árvore) „casca de “uku” (espécie de árvore)?; e uky-tãta (olho-casca) „óculos?. Se descrevermos as propriedades de tais nomes classificatórios como mapeamentos de uma fonte para domínios semânticos alvo, é possível determinar qual informação semântica está sendo perdida ou preservada, já que cada nome classificatório é usado como parte de diferentes formas de palavras. Tendo estabelecido os domínios fonte e alvo, podemos encontrar as propriedades semânticas específicas sendo mapeadas entre os domínios. Os resultados revelam um sistema de propriedades semânticas nucleares subjacentes aos vários mapeamentos, o qual emerge em termos de esquemas comparáveis àqueles usados para motivar metáforas (LAKOFF, 1987; LAKOFF, JOHNSON, 1986; JOHNSON, 1987). Finalmente, tendo encontrado as propriedades semânticas subjacentes ao uso dos nomes classificatórios em Apurinã, podemos compará-los a termos de classe típicos em tailandês e, em seguida, abordar a questão do lugar de tais sistemas classificatórios na tipologia geral de sistemas de classificação.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Nomes Classificatórios.

Termos de classe em Wapixana (Aruák)
Authors: SANTOS Manoel Gomes dos
Published: November 2017

Dentre os processos de formação de palavras em Wapixana, destaca-se aquele realizado por meio de raízes, isto é, termos de classe. Assim, parte dos nomes obrigatoriamente possuídos (inalienáveis) que fazem referência, especialmente, a partes do corpo, partes de planta e relações de parentesco exibe uma função classificatória, sendo empregada recorrentemente para produzir nomes compostos, constituindo, pois, morfemas classificatórios de origem transparentemente lexical que operam na geração do léxico da língua, semelhantemente aos processos de derivação e composição. O propósito deste trabalho é, então, analisar esse tipo particular de processo de formação de palavras em Wapixana, buscando compreender sua relação com o sistema de classificadores e o sistema de classes de nome (gênero).PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Termos de classe.
