Tomasz Nidecki w Wiedniu w latach 1828–1837 w świetle tamtejszej prasy
Authors: Szalsza Piotr
Published: April 2023

Pretekstem dla powstania artykułu było odnalezienie niepublikowanego dotąd listu Johana N. Hummla napisanego w 1828 roku z Warszawy do nieznanego adresata w Wiedniu w sprawie wyjazdu Tomasza Nideckiego na stypendium rządowe. List znajduje się w Dziale Zbiorów Rękopisów Austriackiej Biblioteki Narodowej. Artykuł jest prezentacją wyników analizy prasy wiedeńskiej oraz wielu dokumentów, które pozwalają na szczegółowe odtworzenie chronologii wydarzeń związanych z życiem Tomasza Nideckiego, zwłaszcza trwającą niemal dziesięć lat jego działalnością artystyczną w Wiedniu. Autor skupia się przede wszystkim na aktywności kompozytorskiej Nideckiego, m.in. opisując okoliczności powstawania spektakli z jego muzyką. Przybliża ponadto wiedeńskie kontakty Nideckiego z Fryderykiem Chopinem, który również przebywał w tym mieście w latach 1829–1831.
Między dziełem a źródłem. Redagowanie „urtekstu” w aspekcie teoretycznym i praktycznym
Authors: Kamiński Paweł
Published: April 2023

Punktem wyjścia dla niniejszej pracy jest zbadanie, jakie relacje zachodzą między zachowanymi zapisami dzieła muzycznego, czyli tzw. źródłami, a dziełem jako takim. Poruszone zostały zagadnienia błędów i niedokładności występujących w olbrzymiej większości źródeł: każdy realny zapis utworu (źródło) musi być uważany za swoistą redakcję zapisu intencjonalnego; niemożności wyraźnego zdefiniowania pojęcia „błędu oczywistego”; zakresu autentyczności poszczególnych źródeł, czyli oceny, które ich elementy są rzeczywiście wyrazem intencji twórcy; miejsca i roli poszczególnych źródeł autentycznych w procesie kształtowania i doskonalenia dzieła przez kompozytora. Charakteryzując następnie wykonawców jako naturalnych i pożądanych adresatów urtekstu, autor zwraca uwagę, że nie mają możliwości dokonania samodzielnej oceny źródłowej prezentowanego tekstu. Zadaniem wykonawcy jest przetworzenie zapisu w żywą muzykę, dostarczony przez redaktora tekst stanowi dlań zaledwie punkt wyjścia. Przy ocenie ewentualnych wariantów wykonawca powinien kierować się swoim smakiem artystycznym, zadaniem redaktora jest uporządkowanie tych wariantów zgodne z intencją autora w takim stopniu, w jakim można to określić na podstawie źródeł.W tekście wyprowadzono podstawowe tezy w odniesieniu do redakcji urtekstu: odtworzeniu poszczególnych źródeł najlepiej służą ich odpowiednio skomentowane faksymilia – publikacje te nie mogą jednak stanowić podstawy dla praktyki wykonawczej; celem urtekstu, jako wydania źródłowego przeznaczonego dla wykonawców, musi być odtworzenie intencji kompozytora w odniesieniu do zapisu jego dzieła, określone obrazowo jako stworzenie czystopisu idealnego kompozycji; odtworzeniu tej intencji służy specjalna metoda krytyki tekstu, uwzględniająca wszystkie źródła autentyczne w takim zakresie, w jakim stanowią dokumentację procesu twórczego kompozytora; uszanowanie ciągłości tego procesu wymaga przedkładania integralności dzieła nad integralność źródła w urtekście; sztywne trzymanie się zasady odtwarzania w tekście głównym wersji jednego tylko źródła prowadziłoby w wielu przypadkach do wypaczeń (czasem poważnych) intencji twórcy.

Chopin kopiujący Chopina
Authors: Rink John
Published: April 2023

This paper investigates a number of pertinent issues surrounding the copies that Chopin prepared of his own music. His propensity for making compositional changes at subsequent stages in a work’s evolution is of course well known and much documented, but his skills as a copyist – defined in terms of notational clarity, fidelity to the original source, appropriate improvements to presentation and so on – have received little comment in the literature. Close study of the two surviving autograph manuscripts of one of Chopin’s late works, the Barcarolle Op. 60, reveals not only changes of compositional substance but also indications of an inattentiveness which almost certainly prevailed when Chopin copied out the manuscripts of other pieces. Comparison with relevant first editions also helps to challenge any assumptions we might have about the unqualified authority of Chopin’s autograph sources.
Repertuar muzyki polskiej wieku XIX – wydania cyfrowe i analiza skomputeryzowana
Authors: Konik Marcin
Published: April 2023

Artykuł niniejszy stanowi próbę refleksji nad dostępnymi formatami zapisu, metodologiami analizy skomputeryzowanej oraz możliwymi sposobami renderowania partytur repertuaru muzyki polskiej XIX stulecia. W tekście zaprezentowano też przykładowe transkrypcje oraz podstawowe możliwości analizy skomputeryzowanej. Korzyści płynące ze stworzenia dużej bazy danych, obejmującej repertuar muzyki polskiej wieku XIX (a docelowo wykraczającej poza te ramy czasowe) są niekwestionowane. Dotyczy to nie tylko przeprowadzania analizy stylokrytycznej, ale także badań w zakresie atrybucji utworów anonimowych. Możliwości, jakie daje współczesna technologia, pozwalają prowadzić badania, których podjęcie było do tej pory nierealne. Szczególnie obiecującym tego przykładem jest baza Josquin Research Project tworzona przez stanfordzkich naukowców.
Grając z Chopinowskimi źródłami
Authors: Rink John
Published: April 2023

Współcześnie, w znacznej mierze dzięki sieci internetowej i możliwości umieszczania w niej zdigitalizowanych kolekcji, dostęp do rękopisów i pierwodruków dzieł Chopina jest większy niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej. Korzyści z takiego stanu rzeczy dla wykonawstwa i badań są nie do przecenienia. Zarazem jednak nieograniczony, powszechny wgląd w źródła, jaki mają nawet nieprzygotowani do ich odczytywania odbiorcy, grozi powstawaniem błędnych, nieumotywowanych faktami interpretacji Chopinowskiej muzyki – tak ze strony pianistów, jak adeptów chopinologii, wreszcie – odbiorców.Autor w swoim artykule porusza niektóre z zagadnień związanych z pierwotnym materiałem źródłowym, formułując następnie pewną liczbę reguł i procedur odpowiednich do jego studiowania. Za cel stawia osiągnięcie bardziej świadomego rozumienia „intencji Chopina” (jakkolwiek zamiar ten jest i pozostanie problematyczny), jak również uwolnienie twórczego potencjału ukrytego w źródłach. Systematyzując typy źródeł, wskazując podstawowe zagadnienia, z jakimi powinien mierzyć się redaktor materiału źródłowego i ilustrując je przykładami z konkretnych kompozycji, wyciąga ostatecznie wnioski pozwalające na stworzenie katalogu ogólnych zasad studiowania jakiegokolwiek manuskryptu bądź pierwodruku Chopina.

Perspective Chapter: Organizational Ecology – Evolving Realities in Higher Education from Cholera to Covid – A Michigan State University Planning and Design Case Study
Authors: Wen Bin , Zhou Jing , Hao Lijun , Bryan Burley Jon
Published: April 2023

This manuscript is a narrative concerning the evolution of Michigan State University (MSU), the first American Land-grant school and the development of planning and design instruction and research at MSU from the 1860s until the present time, including adaptations in the post-Covid era. Covid is not the first epidemic to influence higher education at MSU, as the school had to adapt to Cholera (1832–1866), Scarlet Fever (1858), Typhoid Fever (1906–1907), H1N1 Flu (1918), Diphtheria (1921–1925), Polio (1916–1955), H2N2 Flu (1957), Second Measles Outbreak (1981–1991), H1M1 Flu (1991), Meningitis (1997 to present), Whooping Cough (2010, 2014), HIV and Aids (1980 to present), and Covid (2020 to present). The narrative presents a depiction of the changing organizational structure/network over time, illustrating the transformations in the sciences, arts, funding, and publication demands with comments, observations, and insights offered by Dr. Burley, FASLA, a now retired MSU landscape architecture faculty member with questions posed by the coauthors. The paper is in the form of traditional historic criticism essays meant to interpret events and activities. To critique does not have negative intent, but rather to bring understanding. The paper illustrates the transition from a German academic model to a diversified free-form education model.
DC Parallel Ribbon Ion Beams for High-Dose Processes
Authors: R. White Nicholas
Published: April 2023

Ribbon beams of heavy ions have advantages over cylindrical beams, including higher space-charge limits. History of use goes from Calutrons, Freeman and Bernas ion sources, to the first ion implanters in the 1970s. In the 1990s, 300 mm uniform parallel mass-analyzed ribbon beams were developed to enable precise doping by mechanically scanning a substrate through the ion beam in one dimension. Ion species included the primary dopants boron, phosphorus and arsenic, but many others are also used. Such sources can produce currents of heavy ions with linear current densities at the source of the order of 10 mA/cm, but these sources are limited in the beam breadth they can produce. Broader beams are used for flat-panel display manufacture. A new linear source design combines a modified Penning trap with magnetic cusp confinement system, allowing extension of linear sources to meter scale beam breadths, maintaining around 10 mA/cm linear current density. Magnetic analysis of such beams has required new developments because the weight of conventional dipole magnets increases very steeply as the pole gap is increased. A new magnetic configuration has been developed to address this issue, reducing the potential weight of meter-scale analyzed systems by an order of magnitude.
Never Enough (Until You Earn It)
Authors: Raymond Keith “Doc” ,   After Dinner Conversation
Published: April 2023

Does basic income encourage laziness? What obligations does a country that willingly accepts a refugee has to the person they accept? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Sbongo is an African refugee who escaped to Turkey and was granted asylum in Germany. His life immediately improves as Germany offers him “basic income,” more money than he has ever received in his life. Initially, he spends his days walking the streets, enjoying a simple life. However, over time, he becomes jealous of the wealth of those around him. First, he gets a job at a Kebob store and loses his basic income stipend. Later, he is fired and ends up homeless. After hitting rock bottom he gets into a job training program, gets a job doing street maintenance, and starts to feel the pride of the money he earned.
Storytelling as Grammars of Listening
Authors: Acosta López María del Rosario ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

This paper proposes a reading of Walter Benjamin’s “The Storyteller” in connection to what Nelly Richard, in her diagnosis of traumatic forms of violence, has called “catastrophes of meaning.” Written, like Freud’s theory of trauma, in the wake of the first World War, I argue that Benjamin sees in storytelling the experience of an imparting or communication (Mitteilung) capable of conveying trauma without betraying its paradox—and thus, without either interpreting its excesses as meaningless or reducing its absences to mere silences. Storytelling and the community of listeners it both depends on and institutes with its imparting, develops the possibility of a grammar of listening that would attend to what Richard diagnoses as the silences in traumatic testimony, the moments of rupture and breakdown that communicate the truth of its experience. Reading Benjamin along with Richard, the paper argues that Benjamin’s theory of storytelling is an attempt to search out new ways of truly listening to the fractures and shattering of language resulting from traumatic forms of violence, rather than merely filling the gaps left by their discontinuities and absences of “meaning.”
Two Conceptions of Solidarity in Health Care
Authors: Horne L. Chad ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: April 2023

In this paper, I distinguish two conceptions of solidarity, which I call solidarity as beneficence and solidarity as mutual advantage. I argue that only the latter is capable of providing a complete foundation for national universal health care programs. On the mutual advantage account, the rationale for universal insurance is parallel to the rationale for a labor union’s “closed shop” policy. In both cases, mandatory participation is necessary in order to stop individuals free-riding on an ongoing system of mutually advantageous cooperation.
Uncrewed surface systems facilitating a new era of global ocean exploration
Authors: Mayer Larry
Published: April 2023

There is growing recognition that key to addressing critical issues like climate change, global sea level rise and the long-term sustainability of humankind is a more complete understanding of our oceans and processes within them that account for the distribution of global heat, CO2 and provide sustenance to so many. Yet, despite years of effort, less than 25% of the global ocean seafloor has been mapped and less than 5% of the ocean volume explored, likely due to the cost and inefficiency of traditional ocean mapping and exploration techniques using large, very expensive, crewed research vessels. Recent advances in the development of uncrewed surface vessels offer the possibility to reduce costs and increase efficiency of ocean mapping and exploration. Such efficiencies can be gained by using small mother ship-deployed uncrewed vessels acting as relatively inexpensive mapping and sampling force multipliers or the use of small uncrewed vessels launched to from a mother ship to monitor and control autonomous underwater vehicles, allowing multiple operations simultaneously and “verified, directed sampling”, all while freeing the mother ship for independent operations. We are also seeing the development of larger uncrewed vessels launched from shore with long-endurance and range, capable of carrying a full suite of deep ocean mapping and exploration tools. All of these systems and approaches offer great hope but it is very early in our understanding of their full capabilities, costs and limitations and we must be careful not to overpromise, leading to disappointments and early abandonment of a potentially innovative approach, while at the same time maintaining the patience required to continue the research, investment and innovation that will hopefully bring us to a new world of efficient and effective ocean mapping and exploration that will allow us to meet our goal of complete coverage of the ocean.
Scientific evidence of kinesiotaping in physiotherapy and sports. Review Article
Authors: Taldykina Elizaveta , Kozin Serhii
Published: April 2023

Background and purpose. Kinesio taping (KT) is used for the prevention and treatment of injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of our research review was to analyze the available scientific data and determine how is the kinesiotaping method effective really.

Materials and methods: Only articles written in English that matched the keywords of our research paper were included in our study. The literature search was performed using the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, SportsDiscus, and Cochrane. 218 sources were analyzed, from which 23 sources were selected that most corresponded to the purpose of our study.

Results. The results of an analysis of studies to establish the effectiveness of the kinesio taping method for improving motor control, balance and coordination are mixed. We have also established the lack of effectiveness in improving the physical qualities of sportsmen, so kinesio taping can have the most pronounced effect in reducing pain syndrome and improving posture only in the short term. According to most studies, kinesotaping immediately improves posture. But these results need further testing to determine the long-term effects of kinesiotaping on posture.

Conclusions. The analyzed studies give reason to assert that today there is no conflicting scientific evidence of the effectiveness of kinesitaping, and there is also no reason not to use CT as an additional method both in physical therapy and in sports.

Growth in labor productivity is crucial to economic growth and has an important role to increase worker incomes. As a result, this study has analyzed the level of labor productivity in three industries, such as furniture, food-beverage, and clothing industry, and studies of factors affecting labor productivity. The study found that only large textile industries with higher productivity and positive value were positive. Generally, manufacturing output is lower than that of manufacturing, with only large garment industry with higher labor productivity than zero, both in manufacturing, manufacturing and outside manufacturing. In addition, all three industries have a higher remuneration than average labor per capita per month, whether for production, manufacturing or outside production. But the small-scale food-beverage industry is characterized by lower labor productivity than labor-intensive remuneration, and the medium-sized garment industry is lower than the third-generation labor productivity of less than three times a month. Thus, the wage determination of these groups should be delineated so that it can provide an incentive to the labor force and increase the level of labor productivity. In addition, the government should focus on building a vocational training promotion and training program for Lao workers, as well as building labor productivity awareness among entrepreneurs, especially Lao entrepreneurs, in order to stimulate labor productivity.

Authors:   Centre of Postgraduate Studies, Asia Metropolitan University (AMU), Malaysia., Xiongzhong Tan
Published: April 2023

This study investigates the impact of safety culture on safety performance in construction enterprises in Guangdong Province. A random sample of 10 construction enterprises in Guangdong Province was selected, and a total of 600 questionnaires were distributed. The data was analyzed using SPSS software, and a SEM structural equation model was used to construct a relationship model between safety culture, safety performance, and safety climate. The research findings indicate that safety culture has a direct positive correlation with enterprise safety performance. The safety climate plays a mediating role in the relationship between safety culture and enterprise safety performance. To improve the safety performance prediction level of enterprises, construction enterprises in Guangdong Province should actively promote the construction of safety material culture and increase investment in safety production materials, improve safety awareness of employees, and carry out hidden risk management work continuously.

INTERCULTURAL MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION CONTEXT
Authors:   Politehnica University Timisoara, Constantin Elena Claudia
Published: April 2023

The article focuses on the importance of intercultural management in a European society characterised by cultural diversity. Even if the cultural diversity constitutes a positive element for Europe, our historical period is still marked by interethnic conflicts and identity crises. The cultural identity could become a central problem and there are not too many ways to solve it: dialogue or confrontation. Any EU communication act, which is not in accordance with the culture of the group the individuals belong to, can lead to a change of attitude towards EU. European Union should improve its policy regarding intercultural communication and management.
VISION CLASSIQUE ET MÉTHODOLOGIE MODERNE DANS LA CONSTRUCTION DES DICTIONNAIRES

Published: April 2023

Cet ouvrage se propose de démontrer comment a évolué, dans le contexte européen, la lexicographie poétique. On a pris en considération le cas de quelques dictionnaires célèbres. On a observé qu’en Italie, par exemple, un intellectuel tel que Giuseppe Savoca, réussit à construire, par ses volumes de lexicographie, une vraie école de linguistique littéraire. Tudor Vianu, chez nous, cinq décennies auparavant, sans support électronique, avec des fiches minutieusement conçues par les chercheurs de Bucarest, avait réalisé une performance unique. Avant Dumitru Irimia et Marian Papahagi, il n’y avait aucun linguiste susceptible d’entrevoir l’ouverture impressionnante fournie par la lexicographie roumaine aux différents interprètes de textes littéraires.

By using all the means offered by popular culture, Hubble 15th Anniversary project suggested a range of cultural products and events (Hubble Days events, DVDs, Hubble-themed gadgets etc.) which combined information with entertainment and which managed to materialize a science PR strategy based on the realities of popular culture.
NON-ARGUMENTATIVE RHETORIC: ASPECTS OF ZEN RHETORIC
Authors:   Politehnica University Timişoara, Băiaș Cosmin Constantin
Published: April 2023

This work aims to investigate on a meta-theoretical level the conceptual framework of rhetoric. Two spheres can be distinguished: the argumentative or persuasive rhetoric and the non-argumentative or non-persuasive rhetoric. Tracing the contemporary theoretical trends in the rhetoric field, we propose an alternative version of conceptualization. Using both the feminist invitational rhetoric and the comparative rhetoric, we propose an integrative synthesis. The alternative is found in the Buddhists texts and practices. Among the non-argumentative aspects of language we mention: negation, contradiction, silence, the story or the paradox. We believe that these elements of our daily life are worth emphasized and encompassed in an integrative perspective. It is possible not to evaluate.
Klasifikace vegetační stupňovitosti v České republice: review
Authors: Dujka Petr , Kusbach Antonín
Published: April 2023

Considering the changing climatic conditions, the Czech and Slovakian vegetation has been vertically divided into Forest Vegetation Zones (FVZs) units. Each FVZ is represented by a specific tree species, i.e., the oaks (Quercus sp.), European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) and dwarf pine (Pinus mugo Turra). The FVZ concept has been applied in the Czechoslovakian forestry classification practice since the 1950s. Due to the broad time span of the studied topic, this article is divided into five chapters regarding the evolution of the FVZ concept. Its currently applied form was established primarily in the 1970s on the grounds of data gathered during two decades of forest typology research. An FVZ unit has become an upper unit of the Czech Forest Ecosystem Classification since its legislative codification in the Forest Act (289/1995) in 1995. To this day, however, the FVZ concept has not been reassessed by advanced, multi-dimensional statistical methods. This paper aims to describe key moments of the development of this concept and provide a perspective on its limitations, also in connection with current trends in ecological research. This review aims to provide a better understanding of the forest vegetation-environment relationship in the Czech Republic in relation to climate change, indirect anthropogenic environmental impact, and prediction of forest and landscape ecosystems response.
Ophiostomatální houby v porostech borovice lesní (Pinus sylvestris L.) postižených dlouhodobým suchem
Authors: Lorenc František
Published: April 2023

In this study, presence of ophiostomatiod fungi (absence, presence) on wood cross-section samples (total 72) from freshly cut Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees (total 24) at four sites (Valtice, Příšťpo, Brodce, Vrbová Lhota) affected by long-term drought was evaluated in relation to: sampling period (spring, summer, autumn), tree age (30–40, 50–90 years), wood sample origin (bottom trunk, middle trunk, twigs), tree defoliation (>25–60%, >60–99%), and presence of other taxa. Ophiostomatoid fungi were present on 33% wood cross-section samples from 50% trees. Presence of ophiostomatoid fungi was significantly different in relation to sampling period (i.e. the highest in autumn, the lowest in spring), and was directly proportional to both presence of mites and Nematocera larvae; it was insignificantly different in relation to site, tree age, wood sample origin, defoliation, and presence of other taxa. These results show: (1) frequent presence of ophiostomatoid fungi in wood tissues of Scots pine trees, (2) insignificant effect of ophiostomatoid fungi on health status of the trees, (3) relationship of presence of ophiostomatoid fungi with both presence of mites and Nematocera larvae.
Vliv zalesnění orné půdy a různého věku lesního porostu na tvorbu vodostabilních půdních agregátů (WSA)
Authors: Klíč Radek , Čepelka Ladislav , Kravka Miroslav
Published: April 2023

Research was focused on determination of water-stable aggregates (WSA) distribution in soil (cambisol) under different land use (forest, arable land) taking into account also the age of forest stand. Soil samples were collected at three localities separately for arable and forest soil. The localities were selected from map in places where arable land had been afforested in the past. Afterwards 30 samples were dry sieved and then wet sieved to determine the percentage of individual soil fractions of WSA, which allowed comparison of localities. Results showed that from the land use perspective, no prominent differences were evident after dry sieving. However, after the subsequent wet sieving, there was a distinct change. For arable soil, the fraction larger than 2 mm was almost entirely (98.22–98.88%) dissolved into smaller fractions, while the results of forest soil showed much better soil properties, as the largest fractions (>2 mm and 2–1 mm) were still represented in the sample in the range of 34.18% to 69.14%. From the results, it is possible to conclude that aggregation already occurs between 10 and 24 years after the establishment of the forest stand, which should be more investigated during the following research.

To prevent this event, a unique precutting method, termed opening window fistulotomy, was performed in patients with a large infundibulum as the primary procedure for biliary cannulation, whereby a suprapapillary laid-down H-shaped incision was made without touching the orifice. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of this novel technique.Methods: One hundred and ten patients were prospectively enrolled in this study. Patients with a papillary roof size ≥10 mm underwent opening window fistulotomy for primary biliary access. In addition, the incidence of complications and success rate of biliary cannulation were evaluated.Results: The median size of the papillary roof was 6 mm (range, 3–20 mm). Opening window fistulotomy was performed in 30 patients (27.3%), none of whom displayed PEP. Duodenal perforation was recorded in one patient (3.3%), which was resolved by conservative treatment. The cannulation rate was high (96.7%, 29/30 patients). The median duration of biliary access was 8 minutes (range, 3–15 minutes).Conclusions: Opening window fistulotomy demonstrated its feasibility for primary biliary access by achieving great safety with no PEP complications and a high success rate for biliary cannulation.

Neste artigo discutiu-se sobre o espetáculo de malabarismo de fogo Wiking: Uma Batalha Sonora, a partir de uma escrita performativa com viés etnográfico. Através de uma análise descritiva da cena, complementada com fatores de movimento de Laban, articulada com uma análise crítico reflexiva baseada nas teorias de Alessandro Fontana, destacou-se que o malabarismo de fogo possui peculiaridades denominadas variáveis limites, que influenciam na prática da técnica; além disso, o estudo evidenciou que as disciplinas circenses utilizadas, as ações realizadas e o contexto da apresentação envolvem a morte, tanto no registro imaginário quanto no simbólico.

Published: April 2023

O presente artigo trata do retorno da ação artística Passeio Cantante às ruas, após dois anos de isolamento social provocado pela covid-19, com o objetivo de deixar um testemunho da experiência das artes da presença e do isolamento. Soma-se uma narrativa sobre a linguagem que vem sendo criada a partir da intersecção entre patrimônio histórico, cena e tradição junina, a qual aqui é chamada de Teatro de Quermesse. Para descrever como tem sido feito este teatro caipira, adicionamos às informações relacionadas ao Passeio Cantante, informações sobre a urbanização de Campinas desde o século XVIII, sobre as pessoas e a tradição junina aqui plantada desde o século XVI. A partir do material aqui reunido, mostramos como esta dramaturgia para becos, largos e praças, é pensada enquanto acontecimento cênico que evoca a memória da cidade, de uma perspectiva política dos dias de hoje com vistas para proposições de futuro. O texto dialoga com Leda Maria Martins (1997; 2002), Milton Santos (2014), Luís Antônio Simas (2019), entre outras referências.
As particularidades do circo de rua: uma experiência
Authors: Barreto Lua
Published: April 2023

A rua apresenta-se ao artista circense como uma possibilidade de atuação democrática. Entretanto, ela requer conhecimentos específicos que nem sempre são oferecidos pelos espaços formativos. Apresento, aqui, um relato de experiência de pesquisa realizada no Summer Seminar Writing (about/on/with/at/the) Contemporary Circus, na Universidade de Concordia, em Montreal (Canadá). A experiência consistiu em submeter uma artista de circo com bom domínio de sua modalidade, mas sem experiência de circo de rua, a três incursões em um espaço público. Após cada incursão, a artista teve a colaboração de uma artista de rua experiente para readequar sua apresentação. Sem a pretensão de oferecer um manual de instruções ou determinar formas de atuação, busco refletir sobre a articulação da teoria com a prática, debatendo, ainda, alguns aspectos da práxis do circo de rua.

Morbihan disease (MD) is a very rare condition characterized by rosaceous or erythematous lymphedema on the upper twothirds of the face. A definitive management strategy for MD is lacking, and treatment is challenging. Herein, we present a case of persistent bilateral eyelid edema treated by lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) and lymph node-vein bypass surgery. The patient experienced persistent bilateral eyelid edema. Indocyanine green lymphography was performed, and the diagnosis of bilateral facial lymphedema was confirmed. On the right side, a preauricular lymphatic vessel was anastomosed to a vein. On the left side, lymphostomy on the preauricular lymph node was done, with anastomosis to the transected proximal end of the concomitant vein of the transverse facial artery. Furthermore, a preauricular lymphatic vessel was anastomosed to a vein. Eyelid edema decreased and progressively improved on both sides. The outcome of this case suggests that LVA and lymph node-vein bypass surgery are appropriate for treating persistent eyelid edema related to MD.

As mentioned in the first part of this paper, our paper was motivated by two classical papers on the representations of integers as sums of arithmetic progressions. One of them is a paper by Sir Charles Wheatstone and the other is a paper by James Joseph Sylvester. Part I of the paper, though contained some extensions of Wheatstone’s work, was primarily devoted to extensions of Sylvester’s Theorem. In this part of the paper, we will pay more attention on the problems initiated by of Wheatstone on the representations of powers of integers as sums of arithmetic progressions and the relationships among the representations for different powers of the integer. However, a large part in this portion of the paper will be devoted to the extension of a clever method recently introduced by S. B. Junaidu, A. Laradji, and A. Umar and the problems related to the extension. This is because that this extension, not only will be our main tool for study ing the relationships of the representations of different powers of an integer, but also seems to be interesting in its own right. In the process of doing this, we need to use a few results from the first part of the paper. On the other hand, some of our results in this part will also provide certain new information on the problems studied in the first part. However, for readers who are interested primarily in the results of this part, we have repeated some basic facts from Part I of the paper so that the reader can read this part independently from the first part.
Molecular basis of ligand-dependent Nurr1-RXRα activation

Published: April 2023

Small molecule compounds that activate transcription of Nurr1-retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRα) (NR4A2-NR2B1) nuclear receptor heterodimers are implicated in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, but function through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we show that RXRα ligands activate Nurr1-RXRα through a mechanism that involves ligand-binding domain (LBD) heterodimer protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibition, a paradigm distinct from classical pharmacological mechanisms of ligand-dependent nuclear receptor modulation. NMR spectroscopy, PPI, and cellular transcription assays show that Nurr1-RXRα transcriptional activation by RXRα ligands is not correlated with classical RXRα agonism but instead correlated with weakening Nurr1-RXRα LBD heterodimer affinity and heterodimer dissociation. Our data inform a model by which pharmacologically distinct RXRα ligands (RXRα homodimer agonists and Nurr1-RXRα heterodimer selective agonists that function as RXRα homodimer antagonists) operate as allosteric PPI inhibitors that release a transcriptionally active Nurr1 monomer from a repressive Nurr1-RXRα heterodimeric complex. These findings provide a molecular blueprint for ligand activation of Nurr1 transcription via small molecule targeting of Nurr1-RXRα.

Pyogenic liver abscesses due to Granulicatella adiacens are infections associated with high mortality, mainly in immunocompromised patients. The main microorganisms associated with liver abscesses are Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli, though it may also be polymicrobial. However, case reports describing liver infection by Granulicatella adiacens are scarce.We present the case of an immunocompetent adult patient who presented 15 days of evolution consisting of quantified fever peaks associated with asthenia, adynamia, chills, jaundice and coluria. The initial clinical examination revealed a generalized icteric tint without abdominal pain, and blood pressure with a tendency to hypotension. Biliopancreatic confluent neoplasia, secondary cholangitis and sepsis of biliary origin were suspected, initiating fluid resuscitation and antibiotic therapy; blood cultures and complementary diagnostic studies were taken. Hepatobiliary ultrasound with evidence of an abscess of 73 x 62 mm in segment IV; the bile duct and pancreas were within normal limits. To better characterize the lesion evidenced in the liver, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen was performed. The patient completed antibiotic management with ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, and metronidazole in good condition and was successfully discharged.This is the first pyogenic liver abscess reported caused by Granulicatella adiacens in an immunocompetent patient, in whom early microbiological diagnosis in conjunction with targeted antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage of the lesion was decisive in the clinical outcome.

Introducción. La diabetes mellitus es una de las enfermedades crónicas con mayor prevalencia en la población pediátrica y juvenil, con efectos en la calidad de vida de los pacientes.Objetivo. Evaluar la calidad de vida de una población pediátrica menor de 18 años con diagnóstico de diabetes de tipo 1, de dos instituciones pediátricas de la ciudad de Bogotá.Materiales y métodos. Se recolectaron los datos sociodemográficos, y se emplearon la versión validada en español del cuestionario PedsQL 4.0™ y el módulo 3.2 sobre diabetes. Los datos se procesaron en el software estadístico STATA 17™.Resultados. Con el puntaje global del módulo 3.2 sobre diabetes, de la versión validada del PedsQL™, se evaluó la correlación entre los valores de la hemoglobina A1c (HbA1c) y los del cuestionario. Los pacientes con valores por debajo del 9 % de HbA1c presentaron una mejor calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, mientras que, en el grupo con HbA1c mayor de 9 %, se observó una baja percepción de calidad de vida (p=0,025). En cuanto el tipo de terapia y la relación con los dominios del PedsQL™ 3.2, versión diabetes, los pacientes que utilizaban la bomba de insulina o microinfusor presentaban mejor puntaje en los dominios barreras, cumplimiento, preocupación y comunicación, y en el puntaje global, respecto a quienes usaban múltiples inyecciones de insulina como tratamiento (p=0,0363).Conclusiones. En nuestros pacientes, un mejor control metabólico (medido por el valor de HbA1c) y el uso de microinfusora contribuyen a una percepción de mejor calidad de vida.
