Interesse contratual positivo e interesse contratual negativo
Authors: Silva Rodrigo da Guia
Published: June 2020

O escopo central do presente estudo consiste em investigar os influxos da distinção entre interesse contratual positivo e interesse contratual negativo sobre a delimitação da indenização no âmbito da resolução do contrato por inadimplemento culposo. Para tanto, investiga-se, inicialmente, o sentido que o vocábulo interesse assume na dogmática da responsabilidade civil. A partir da compreensão do sentido do interesse contratual, busca-se examinar o sentido e o alcance da distinção entre as suas duas modalidades – o interesse positivo e o negativo –, com particular enfoque sobre a controvérsia referente à definição da modalidade de interesse contratual a nortear a indenização no âmbito da resolução contratual por inadimplemento. Examinam-se, ainda, outras relevantes controvérsias, notadamente aquelas referentes à possibilidade ou não de cumulação entre o interesse positivo e o interesse negativo, à possibilidade ou não de livre escolha da vítima entre uma e outra modalidade de interesse contratual e, por fim, à limitação ou não do interesse negativo pelo positivo.
Aplicações da função promocional na responsabilidade civil ambiental
Authors: Dos Reis Júnior Antonio
Published: June 2020

O presente artigo propõe um espaço de reflexão à releitura, de caráter funcional, em torno das funções da responsabilidade civil. Intenciona difundir a nova função que, conectada à finalidade última do instituto, de viés marcadamente ético, apresenta-se como modelo de estímulos à reparação espontânea do dano. É o que aqui se designa de função promocional da responsabilidade civil, cuja existência tem o condão de aperfeiçoar o sistema de proteção da(s) vítima(s), conferindo mais instrumentos para o tratamento da lesão causada. Como nova fronteira da solidariedade e na esteira da máxima efetividade dos direitos, busca-se, afinal, a satisfação eficaz e eficiente do interesse atual da(a) vítima(s) no momento posterior ao dano, cujo um dos enfoques de maior relevância se concentra na tutela dos interesses metaindividuais, marcadamente da proteção dos danos ambientais.

Published: June 2020

Os avanços tecnológicos impõem novas situações que demandam a atenção do Direito. A internet permite superar fronteiras, mas nem todas as mudanças se fazem acompanhar de aspectos inteiramente positivos. Por muito tempo, em especial no Brasil, não havia legislação que se adequasse, particularmente, aos problemas relacionados ao tratamento de dados pessoais de usuários das redes virtuais. Com o surgimento do Marco Civil da Internet e, posteriormente, da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, o Direito brasileiro começou a acompanhar a evolução tecnológica verificada na sociedade. Este artigo se propõe a analisar, sobretudo à luz da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, como o armazenamento de dados pode ferir os direitos intrínsecos à personalidade, mormente a privacidade, e, em decorrência, como se manifestam as novas perspectivas da responsabilidade civil para reparar os danos causados neste âmbito.
ADAPTIVE ROUTING SCHEME FOR RELIABLE COMMUNICATION IN VEHICULAR AD-HOC NETWORK (VANET)
Authors: Sivasubramanian Karthikeyini S. , Subramaniam Shankar S.
Published: June 2020

In a wireless communication system, due to the presence of the surrounding objects, the amplitude of the received signal rapidly changes by reflection, diffraction, and scattering and noise is added to the received signal. This prompts multipath fading and interference, which affects the quality of communication. The proposed Adaptive Routing Scheme (ARS) considers the algorithm Reliable Routing (RR) using Average Bit Error Rate expressed in Nakagami-m fading channel (ABERN-m) to predict the quality of the link, the Energy Efficient Routing (EER) calculates Remaining Battery Energy (RBE) to extend the network lifetime. The Canberra Distance Measure (CDM) is used instead of Euclidean Distance Measure (EDM) to improve the accuracy of distance measurement in mobile nodes. The aim of the proposed scheme is to predict the best optimal path and maintain the consistent path to enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) in real-time communication to improve efficient traffic on the road.
A Parametric Model for the Shapes of Black Hole Shadows in Non-Kerr Spacetimes
Authors: Medeiros Lia , Psaltis Dimitrios , Özel Feryal
Published: June 2020

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is taking the first images of black holes resolved at horizon scales to measure their shadows and probe accretion physics. A promising avenue for testing the hypothesis that astrophysical black holes are described by the Kerr solution to Einstein’s equations is to compare the size and shape of the shadow a black hole casts on the surrounding emission to the predictions of the Kerr metric. We develop here an efficient parametric framework to perform this test. We carry out ray-tracing simulations for several parameterized non-Kerr metrics to create a large data set of non-Kerr shadows that probe the allowed parameter space for the free parameters of each metric. We then perform principal components analysis (PCA) on this set of shadows and show that only a small number of components are needed to accurately reconstruct all shadows within the set. We further show that the amplitude of the PCA components are smoothly related to the free parameters in the metrics and, therefore, that these PCA components can be fit to EHT observations in order to place constraints on the free parameters of these metrics that will help quantify any potential deviations from the Kerr solution.

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 150910A was detected by Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), and then rapidly observed by Swift/XRT, Swift/Ultraviolet-Optical Telescope, and ground-based telescopes. We report Lick Observatory spectroscopic and photometric observations of GRB 150910A, and we investigate the physical origins of both the optical and X-ray afterglows, incorporating data obtained with BAT and XRT. The light curves show that the jet-emission episode lasts ∼360 s with a sharp pulse from BAT to XRT (Episode I). In Episode II, the optical emission has a smooth onset bump followed by a normal decay (α
R,2 ≈ −1.36), as predicted in the standard external shock model, while the X-ray emission exhibits a plateau (α
X,1 ≈ −0.36) followed by a steep decay (α
X,2 ≈ −2.12). The light curves show obvious chromatic behavior with an excess in the X-ray flux. Our results suggest that GRB 150910A is an unusual GRB driven by a newly born magnetar with its extremely energetic magnetic dipole (MD) wind in Episode II, which overwhelmingly dominates the observed early X-ray plateau. The radiative efficiency of the jet prompt emission is η

The siphonostomatoid copepod Caligus undulatus Shen & Li, 1959 has been widely reported from plankton samples obtained from neritic and oceanic waters off coasts of the Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Until now, its fish host has remained unknown. This copepod belongs to an intriguing group of congeners that, despite being part of a chiefly parasitic group, are consistently found as zooplankters. Quite unexpectedly, in October 2019, a fish host of C. undulatus was discovered in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan—namely, the Japanese sardinella Sardinella zunasi (Bleeker, 1854). Both juvenile (chalimus) and adult individuals of this caligid were observed as parasites of the fish host. The discovery suggests that the species has an alternative life cycle as previously proposed for other purportedly ‘planktonic’ congeners and might frequently switch hosts during the adult stage. Thus, the C. undulatus group is newly proposed as a species group in the genus, in which five species are known as planktonic. Some hypotheses on the modified life cycle of caligids also briefly discussed.

Antibiotic therapy may have important side effects. Guidelines recommend the administration of specific probiotics to reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD). The rates and determinants of antibiotics and co-prescription of probiotics in children remain poorly known in Asia-Pacific countries, which are very heterogenous in terms of economic development, health care organization and health policies. A survey among general practitioners (GPs) and paediatricians was performed in seven countries of the Asia-Pacific area (Australia, Japan, Indonesia, India, China, Singapore, and South Korea). Physicians completed an online questionnaire that explored their current habits and the determinants for prescribing antibiotics and probiotics. For the 731 physicians who completed the questionnaire (390 paediatricians and 341 GPs), 37% of all consultations for a child led to the prescription of antibiotics (ranging from 17% in Australia to 47% in India). A large majority of physicians (84%) agreed that antibiotics disrupted gut microbiota and considered probiotics an effective intervention to prevent AAD (68%). However, only 33% co-prescribed probiotics with antibiotics (ranging from 13% in Japan to 60% in South Korea). The main reasons for prescribing probiotics were previous episodes of AAD (61%), presence of diarrhoea (55%), prolonged antibiotic treatment (54%) or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid therapy (54%). Although current local guidelines recommend the use of selected probiotics in children receiving antibiotics in Asia-Pacific area, the rates of antibiotics and probiotics prescription significantly vary among countries and are deeply affected by country-related cultural and organisational issues.
Do waiting times in endurance vet gates affect the cardiac recovery index?
Authors: de Mira M.C. , Williams J. , Santos R.G. dos , Rodrigues P. , Arroja B. , Marlin D.
Published: June 2020

The cardiac recovery index (CRI) is currently a key component of veterinary inspections to assess endurance horses metabolic status and fitness. Originally published by Ridgeway, it instructs veterinarians to subtract from the first heart rate (HR1), collected when the horse is initially presented for examination, a second HR (HR2), taken 1 min after the horse starts a 125 feet (38.1 m) out and back trot to assess gait. It is widely believed that an increase of more than 4 bpm from HR1 might be an indicator of fatigue. The FEI rules instruct the veterinarians to start the stopwatch exactly 1 min after the HR1 count instead of trot start, as described previously. The aims of this study were to investigate how time delays in the vet gate affect the HR1 count and the CRI during endurance competitions, and to characterise and compare the time taken by veterinarians to measure the original version of the CRI (tCRIRIDG) and the adapted CRI used in FEI endurance events (tCRIFEI). Data from 972 veterinary inspections of horses that took place in different endurance competitions in three different venues were collected. There was no association between the time elapsed from entering the vet gate to the start of the HR1 count or from the HR1 count to the start of the trot-up and the HR1 or the CRI (P>0.05). However, larger studies involving more venues and different layouts are needed to corroborate our findings and to characterise the sensitivity and specificity of the CRI regarding the baseline heart rate. Although this study did not show an influence of waiting times on the CRI, a reduced deviation from the mean observed across all veterinarians when using the original Ridgeway guidelines to calculate the CRI (tCRIRIDG) seems to point a better time-wise consistency when this version is used.

Published: June 2020

A 10-year-old male presented with 1-week duration of painless bilateral central vision loss after having been diagnosed with influenza A. Optical coherence tomography revealed superficial retinal nerve fiber layer infarcts, hyperreflectivity of the inner nuclear layer consistent with paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM), and outer nuclear layer hyperreflectivity and disruption of the ellipsoid zone suggesting acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN). Brain MRI revealed enhancement of the right basal ganglia consistent with focal encephalitis. He was diagnosed with presumed influenza-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) and treated with intravenous steroids. Influenza-induced LCV is a rare phenomenon and can present with AMN, PAMM, and encephalitis.

Buckwheat and Avalokiteśvara / Ajda in Avalokiteśvara
Authors: Honda Yutaka
Published: June 2020

I investigated the situation of the dedication ceremony of buckwheat noodle in two temples. The buckwheat noodle is dedicated to Avalokiteśvara in both temples. These temples have long history from the foundation, however these ceremonies are never old, if anything new. Buckwheat production increased three times in the past thirty years in Japan. Domestic buckwheat is recognized as good taste and good quality. People visit temple and eat the famous buckwheat noodle in temple town. The interests or merits in the both of restaurants’ owners and the temple’s priests agree each other.  Increasing of production gives birth to new concerned industry or activity of old industry. We can see that the increase of the crop production has the new potential in the human culture.

Seed storage proteins of grain crops meet the major dietary protein requirement of over half of the world population. PCR based genome walking the 5’UTR of the gene coding for a lysine rich legumin type protein amplified a 1.1kb DNA fragment representing the promoter region of the gene. Clustal alignment of this sequence with other sequences in the Genbank database clearly showed 100 percent complementary base match of 282 bases at the 3’ end of the sequence, corresponding to nucleotide position 780-1062 with correspondingly similar number of bases on the 5’ end of the 1.7kb Bwleg gene.We detected one prolamin box and three RY-repeat motifs in the sequence. Seven deletion fragments of the putative promoter were generated by 5’ nested PCR and cloned in pCAMBIA1304 upstream of GUS gene after excising the CaMV 35S promoter from the vector. Arabidopsis plants plants harbouring the deletion construct pBwlDF1 to pBwlDF6 clearly showed seed specific expression of the reporter gene. Seeds harbouring the constructs pBwlDF3, pBwlDF4 and pBwlDF5 showed a nearly threefold decrease in GUS activity than those harbouring the construct with full length promoter.

Fc receptor–like (FCRL) 4 is an immunoregulatory receptor expressed on a subpopulation of human memory B cells of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Fc receptor function of FCRL4 was demonstrated by binding of IgA to FCRL4 following heat aggregation of the Ig. In this study, we demonstrate that FCRL4 recognizes J chain–linked systemic IgA in the absence of heat aggregation. We further demonstrate that mucosal secretory IgA is not recognized by FCRL4 and that systemic IgA binding can be competitively inhibited by recombinant secretory component protein. Finally, we provide evidence that primary FCRL4-bearing human memory B cells are constitutively bound to IgA. Our study provides a mechanism for the negative regulatory activity of FCRL4 on AgR-mediated B cell activation.
Early Insights into Immune Responses during COVID-19
Authors: St. John Ashley L. , Rathore Abhay P. S.
Published: June 2020

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the newly emerged virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and was recently declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. In its severe form, the disease is characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome, and there are no targeted intervention strategies to treat or prevent it. The immune response is thought to both contribute to the pathogenesis of disease and provide protection during its resolution. Thus, understanding the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is of the utmost importance for developing and testing vaccines and therapeutics. In this review, we discuss the earliest knowledge and hypotheses of the mechanisms of immune pathology in the lung during acute infection as well at the later stages of disease resolution, recovery, and immune memory formation.

Published: June 2020

The combination of anaerobic pre-treatment and conventional aerobic technologies in a single compact unit has the potential to afford practical, sustainable and low-cost systems for the decentralized treatment of sewage. The aims of the present study were (i) to determine the efficiencies of a single-family compact (SFC) and a multi-family compact (MFC) station in removing organic matter from domestic sewage, and (ii) to investigate the behavior of aerobic intermittent sand filters (ISFs) regarding nitrification. The SFC station consisted of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, an anaerobic upflow bed filter and an aerobic ISF, while the MFC station comprised a septic tank and two ISFs. The mean efficiencies for the removal of total chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and total Kjeldahl nitrogen were, respectively, 90, 93 and 75% for the SFC and 87, 91% and 74% for the MFC with ISFs operated at hydraulic loading rates of 380 L.m-2.day-1. The sand filters produced helminth-free effluents that complied with World Health Organization recommendations for water intended for agricultural reuse, although the geometric mean of E. coli counts (104 CFU.100 mL-1) was somewhat high, implying that the treated water was appropriate for irrigation in low-tech agriculture.
DEVELOPING AND OPTIMISING AN URBAN INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT MODEL: EFFECT OF TRANSFER STATIONS
Authors: Paul Koushik , Chattopadhyay Subhasish , Dutta Amit , Krishna Akhouri Pramod , Ray Subhabrata
Published: June 2020

Solid waste management (SWM) is among the poorly rendered services in developing countries — limited resources, increasing population, rapid urbanisation and application of unscientific, outdated systems leads to inefficiency. Lack of proper planning and inadequate data regarding solid waste generation and collection compound the solid waste management problem. Given the large number of available waste management options and the inter-relationships among them, identifying SWM strategies that satisfy economic or environmental objectives is a complex task. The paper integrates the effects of transfer station(s) to a mathematical model developed for a municipal Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) system and focusses on the effect of inclusion of transfer stations on the overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of an ISWM system. The model then serves as decision support tool to evaluate various waste management alternatives and identifies the least cost optimal combination of technologies for the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste. The constraints include those linking waste flows and mass balance, processing plants capacity, landfill capacity, transport vehicle capacity and number of trips. The linear programming model integrating different functional elements was solved by LINGO optimisation software and various possible waste management options were considered during analysis.
APPROACHES TO FORMALIZATION OF ASSESSMENT OF TERRITORY ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY FOR PURPOSES OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT (THE CITY OF MOSCOW CASE STUDY)

The present paper addresses methods for formalization of engineering geological complexity of urban territory based on engineering geological zoning for purposes of urban and spatial planning. Presented is distinguishing three main sets of issues for purposes of urban development complex, improvement of environmental management and assessment of engineering geological complexity distribution, issues being addressed at two levels: at the city level - mapping the engineering geological complexity to scale of 1: 100 000 and at municipal level – engineering geological complexity maps to scale of 1: 25 000 with derivation of taxonomic formula of geological hazard; at that, cartographical materials are proposed as open data. For the first time it is proposed to use the complexity index and to plot the diversity curves for negative geological processes. Results of distribution analysis for complexity of engineering geological conditions made it possible to reveal a relatively low complexity of the structural uplift megamassif at the territory of the city of Moscow. The proposed methods shall help to develop "geoecological image" of the city and be used for better understanding of geoecological problems related to the city development.
GREY WATER FOOTPRINT OF POINT SOURCES OF POLLUTION: THE CZECH REPUBLIC STUDY
Authors: Ansorge Libor , Stejskalová Lada , Dlabal Jiří
Published: June 2020

Grey Water Footprint is an indicator of anthropogenic pollution load into the inland water. The indicator is used for quantification of water needed for pollutant dilution to such an extent that the quality of the ambient water remains above agreed water quality standards of pollution discharged from point sources in the Czech Republic. Grey Water Footprint was calculated for 6 382 point pollution sources, recorded in the national register of wastewater discharges, from period 2009–2018. The domestic, industry and agriculture sectors were analyzed separately in the assessment. The total Grey Water Footprint of point sources of pollution varied between 1.90 × 1010 and 2.46 × 1010 m3/year. The Grey Water Footprint of domestic pollution represented about ¾ of the total Grey Water Footprint. The Grey Water Footprint of industrial pollution represented about ¼ of the total Grey Water Footprint. The Grey Water Footprint of agricultural point sources of pollution can be neglected on the national level in the Czech Republic. In most cases, the Grey Water Footprint is determined by ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N).
FLOOD DAMAGE ANALYSIS: A BRAZILIAN CASE STUDY
Authors: Ribeiro Neto Alfredo , Batista Larissa , Coutinho Roberto
Published: June 2020

Worldwide floods stand out as some of the most recurrent and potentially destructive phenomena. Risk reduction management must consider dynamics involving structural risk elements called indicators. The objective of this paper was to simulate an extreme flood event in the Pirapama river basin, Pernambuco State, Northeastern Brazil, and to analyze some risk components, focusing on the application of damage models in the Brazilian scenario. The hydrological model HEC-HMS (Hydrological Modeling System) was calibrated in order to generate streamflow for ungauged areas. The model was able to identify the highest flood peaks and the statistic criteria were consistent with daily simulation. The parameters calibrated for the HEC-HMS model allowed us to generate results used as input flow in HEC-RAS (River Analysis System). The hydrodynamic model HEC-RAS performed steady flow simulations for the peak flow that occurred in 2010. Remote sensing products with high spatial resolution were used successfully to identify and calculate dwellings surface in the municipality of Cabo de Santo Agostinho. Flood damage estimates were performed through transferred depth-damage curves which is a methodological option verified in the literature. The two main Brazilian studies on this field were selected. The difference between the functions is just over BRL$72 per square meter, and around BRL$85 million for the entire area in the 2010 event (BRL$234.58 and BRL$149.11 million). Those values were adjusted for inflation until 2019. A combination of different methodologies is a way to try to overcome the lack of information, but much remains to be done to validate damage analysis, especially in what concerns to prevention.
FUNCTIONALISM OF WIND RENEWABLE ENERGY IN VERNACULAR ELEMENTS OF WIND CATCHER AND MOSHABAK (CASE STUDY: QESHM ISLAND)
Authors: Pazhouhanfar Mahdieh , Mohammadi Mazraeh Hamed
Published: June 2020

Qeshm, an island in southern Iran, has two significant elements of sustainable architecture—wind catcher and Latticework (Moshabak). So, it can be defined based on its performance-oriented vernacular architecture which results in the wind renewable energy. However, there are few studies on these sustainable elements. The present study attempted to analyze the performance and structure of these natural ventilation systems in the island. In our research methodology, we tried to use the qualitative approach. Initially, we used citation and library sources for gathering information. Later, we visited the site and the native architecture of the island was studied by analyzing and extracting architectural elements from 48 old buildings which are over 70 years old. Moreover, different types of wind energy and Moshabaks used in the island were thoroughly studied. Meanwhile, the temperature during different periods was compared and the height of the wind catchers and their influence on the rate of wind deflector, functional art, and ecology-oriented architecture of the island were evaluated. The results showed that in terms of function, these so-called sustainable native architectural elements have met the natural ventilation requirement appropriately.
The Effectiveness of Group Counseling Based on Problem-Solving on Experiencing Domestic Violence Among Pregnant Women
Authors: Alamshahi Masoumeh , Olfati Forouzan , Shahsavari Saeed , Taherpour Maryam
Published: June 2020

Introduction:

Domestic violence is highly prevalent during pregnancy and affects both the mother and fetus. Problem-solving training showed to be useful in controlling different crises of life including anger and aggression. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group counseling based on problem-solving on experiencing domestic violence among pregnant women.

Methods:

This study is a clinical trial which was conducted on eighty pregnant women referred to Buin Zahra urban centers in 2019. The individuals were randomly divided into intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. Six 45-min sessions for five groups of eight people were implemented for the intervention group. The violence was examined before, immediately, and 3 months after the intervention using the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale instrument. Sociodemographics and obstetrics characteristics were compared using Chi-square. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance at a significance level of < 0.05.

Results:

The baseline characteristics were homogeneous between the two groups. After intervention, the mean score of violence decreased statistically significantly for the intervention group versus control group immediately after (159.28 vs. 190.98, P < 0.001) and 3 months after the intervention (117.85 vs. 198.9, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Group counseling based on problem-solving is effective on the level of domestic violence among pregnant women. Therefore, using this method of counseling during pregnancy can be associated with positive results in reducing domestic violence.

يعتبر ميخائيل نعيمة مُفَكِّرًا عربيًّا كبيرًا، وهو واحد من ذلك الجيل الذي قاد النهضة الفكرية والأدبية والنقدية، والتي شهدت تحوُّلات كثيرة مسَّت جميع الاتجاهات والمناهج المتنوعة، فكان له الدور الريادي في إثراء الدرس النقدي العربي (تنظيرًا وتطبيقًا) بمقالاته النثرية، والتي تدرَّجت في تصاعُدٍ ملحوظ من خلال تطوُّر حِسِّه النقدي، وذوقه الفني، وفلسفته العميقة التي تأصَّلت فيه بسبب تأثُّره بالفكر العالمي؛ إذ كان يجمع بين تراث الشرق وتراث الغرب. من هذا المنطلَق هدفت هذه الدراسة للكشف عن ملامح هذا التطوُّر والنضج الفكري، ورصد آثار الفكر الغربي في انطباعات الناقد، وتجلياته النقدية. ثم تأتي أهمية هذا البحث في كونه يتناول موضوعًا حديثًا لا يزال في طور البحث والدراسة؛ ليس في ميدان النقد العربي فحسب، بل في ميدان النقد الغربي أيضًا، وتلمُّس جوانب التأثير والتأثُّر. وتماشيًا مع طبيعة هذه الدراسة ارتأى البحث اعتماد آليات المنهج الوصفي، والذي يركِّز على دراسة الظاهرة زمانيًّا ومكانيًّا، واستجلاء جوانبها من خلال مراحل تطوُّرها وتأثُّرها بالعوامل المتنوعة. ويخلُص البحث إلى أن هذا الاستعداد، أو الحس النقدي المبكِّر لدى ميخائيل نعيمة ونضوجه الفني ساهَم في تكوينه عاملان: الأول: عامل فطري، تيقُّظه الفكري، وذاكرته الحادَّة، ونزعته العنيفة إلى التفوُّق، بالإضافة إلى ما كان يشعر به من مكانة وحظوة لدى الآخرين. الثاني: الدنيا العجيبة التي فاجأته في كنوز الأدب الروسي، فاحتوته، وكان قبلًا لا يعرف شيئًا من ذلك، فنهل بنَهَمٍ، وأحسَّ بنفسه إنسانًا آخر

يتمثل الهدف الرئيسي للدراسة في التعرف على الدور الذي تلعبه مؤسسات التنشئة الاجتماعية (الأسرة والمدرسة) في حماية الشباب في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة من الجريمة، وذلك من خلال إجراء دراسة ميدانية على عينة من الشباب في مجتمع الامارات، وكذلك تحليل أدبيات ومصادر علمية ومعرفية متعلقة بموضوع الدراسة. ولتحقيق هذا الهدف تم تصميم استبيان لجمع البيانات الأولية من عينة متسقة ومتلائمة من 339 شاباً تتراوح أعمارهم بين 18-35 سنة (ذكورا وإناثاً) وقد تم اختيارهم بطريقة عشوائية من ثلاث إمارات هي: دبي والشارقة وعجمان، وتم استخدام الحزم الإحصائية للعلوم الاجتماعية (SPSS) لتحليل البيانات التي تم جمعها من خلال الاستبيان، واستخدمت أساليب تحليلية إحصائية مثل مقياس ترتيب الأهمية، ونسبة معدل الأهمية والمتوسط المرجح للأهمية (الانحدار المتعدد – التباين) مع التركيز على متغير النوع فى كل المقياس. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى مجموعة من النتائج منها: - أهمية دور الأخصائي الاجتماعي والأخصائي النفسي ودمج خطة عمل كليهما في الخطة المدرسية، ويوحد الجهود لتحقيق أهداف حماية الطلاب من المشاكل الاجتماعية والنفسية التي تؤدي إلى ارتكاب الجريمة. - إن تنظيم وتنفيذ جلسات الإرشاد النفسي باستخدام الأساليب الفردية والجماعية التي تساهم في الحماية من الجريمة والسلوك الإجرامي تظهر أقل نسبة من الأهمية، مع اختلاف كبير في النوع. - أهمية دور التنشئة الاجتماعية عن طريق توفير الطرق لحل المشاكل التي يواجهها الشباب هو أعلى نسبة مئوية من أي قياسات أخرى تقع تحت هذا المجال. مع التباين بين الجنسين. - تأتي أهمية نقل التراث الثقافي والاجتماعي من جيل إلى جيل والالتزام بالتكامل مع مؤسسات التنشئة الاجتماعية الأخرى عند أدنى مستوى من الأهمية. كما إن العقبات التى تحول دون فاعلية دور الأسرة والمدرسة في منع الجريمة تتمثل في ضعف التعليم الذي يعيق تفعيل دور عمليات التنشئة الاجتماعية.

تلاقي الكتابات الفرانكفونية والعربية في الأدب المغاربي: الرواية أنموذجا

النص الروائي شكلا فنيا يحمينا من نسيان وجودنا، ويستوعب النص الروائي الأنواع السردية متمثلة في التراث الشعري، الحكائي، الوثائقي وأدب الرحلات بما فيها حضور متميز للشخصيات الإشكالية وما تحمله من عناصر، وهذا دال من أدلة الهوية الثقافية لدى المتلقي. والرواية جنس أدبي حديث في الابداع العربي، الا أنها حظيت بمكانة متميزة في الآداب العالمية والأدب العربي المعاصر عموما وفي إبداع المغرب العربي على وجه الخصوص. فبعد أن خرجت البلدان المغاربية من ظروف استعمار الأجنبي الذي خلف وراءه فقرا وجهلا وأمية ثقافية مركبة ومعقدة وحصارا ثقافيا مهيمنا إلى حد ما، ازدهرت هذه البلاد في النصف الثاني من القرن العشرين، بإنجازات هائلة سيما ما بعد الثمانينات. ويمكن أن نذكر إن من بين أسباب مظاهر هذا الانفتاح: التغير الاجتماعي الذي طرأ على هذه البلاد بعد الاستقلال نتيجة "تعبير الرواية عن فئة اجتماعية جديدة من المثقفين: كتابا وقراء." وبهذا انتقلت الثقافة المغاربية من ثقافة شفوية إلى أخرى مقروءة. البلاد المغاربية ذات موقع متميز جمع بين مختلف الحضارات. وقد منحتها هذه المكانة أهمية قصوى وثراء بناء لثقافتها إذ تغوص بجدورها في عديد من اللغات والثقافات والحضارات العربية الإسلامية والبربرية والإفريقية وكونها تعايشت مع الغرب الأوربي أثناء وبعد فترة الاستعمار. والبلدان المغاربية مثقلة بإرث أصيل يضرب بجذوره في أعماق التاريخ. وعندما نشير إلى أدبه المكتوب على سبيل المثال لا الحصر، نجد أنه كتب بلغتين وكلاهما لم تنفصل عن أصولها العربية الإسلامية: لغة، دينا، حضارة وإرثا أصيلا. إن صور الالتقاء في الروايات المغاربية المكتوبة بلغتين تكمن في كونها تشترك في عناصر عدة منها: نقدها للواقع الاجتماعي المغاربي وإبراز عنصر علاقتها مع المجتمع الغربي بمختلف أشكاله. وإن لم يعترف كثيرا من المفكرين الفرنسيين بأن الأدب الفرنكفوني إبداعا مغاربيا يعبر عن ذاته وإن كتب بلغة المستعمر إلا أن البعض منهم يعتقد أن الأدب المغاربي المكتوب بالفرنسية، قد أصطلح على تسميته بمصطلح بأنه أدب عربي كتب باللغة الفرنسية.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous, coccidian parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. This infection, if acquired during pregnancy may result in severe damage. It affects a third of the world’s population. In many developing countries, its prevalence is unknown, and data concerning its seroprevalence among pregnant women is scarce in our study area. The objective of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection and the associated risk factors among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic (ANC) at the Bamenda Regional Hospital in Cameroon. The results obtained will be useful in giving an estimate of the prevalence among pregnant women thus informing policy on preventive measures. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of pregnant women recruited between January and April 2018 using systematic random sampling technique. Socio-demographic data of participants and predisposing factors to toxoplasmosis were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire administered to them. Five milliliters of blood were collected and the serum screened for IgG and IgM antibodies against T. gondii using the cassette and buffer immunochromatographic method. The positive IgG cases were tested further by ELISA technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Associations between variables were tested by Chi square and p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Of 127 women tested, 44 were seropositive for IgG T. gondii infection (34.6%) by cassette and buffer method and only 1 with both IgG and IgM antibodies(0.8) were found among them with Elisa test. Pet ownership and handling of their litters were risk factors significantly associated with toxoplasmosis (p=0.013 and 0.006 respectively). Although the frequencies of consumption of raw dried meat and farming among the subjects were high, their associations with toxoplasmosis were not statistically significant.Conclusion: The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii antibodies among the pregnant women is still high compared with previous finding in the same area (34.6 % for IgG and 0.8% for IgG and IgM). Pet ownership and handling of their litters were risk factors significantly associated with toxoplasmosis in this study. Screening of pregnant women during ANC and treatment of positive cases, are necessary to prevent congenital infections in the newborn. Health education on how to minimize exposure to the risk factors should be given.Keywords: Risk factors, toxoplasmosis, congenital transmission, serological diagnosis.
