Published: August 2016

Angiopoietin-like protein 3 and -4 (ANGPTL-3 and -4) are generally related to lipid metabolism as well as angiogenesis in animals, however very less was known about their mRNA expression characterizations in tissue development. In this study, the mRNA expressions of ANGPTL-3 and ANGPTL-4 (ANGPTL-3 and -4) and tissue distribution in Peking duck (Anas platyrhynchos) of 1 to 8 weeks of age were analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR methods. It was observed that ANGPTL-3 and -4 mRNAs were broadly expressed in duck liver and adipose tissues and were most abundant in intra-abdominal adipose tissue (AD). ANGPTL-3 and -4 had different expression patterns in tissues. These data suggested that both duck ANGPTL-3 and -4 could be related to the development of tissues, and ANGPTL-4 may contribute to the development of adipose tissue through promoting adipocyte differentiation.

Published: August 2016

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different RSC waters and zinc fertilization on soil properties, yield and nutrient ratios of fenugreek on loamy sand soil. The experiment comprising 12 treatment combinations replicated three times was laid out in completely randomized block design with four levels of RSC water (control, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mmol L-1) and three levels of Zn (0, 10 and 20 mg ZnSO4 ha-1 soil). Results revealed that under 7.5 mmol L-1 RSC of irrigation water, the ECe, content of different fractions of soil Zn and available soil Zn was decreased significantly, while pH and ESP of soil increased significantly. The seed and straw yield of crop, P/Zn in straw and Ca/Mg ratios of seed and straw decreased significantly with all levels of RSC of irrigation water. While, Na/K, Na + K/Ca and Na/Ca ratio of seed and straw increased significantly. P/Zn and Fe/Zn ratios of seed also increased significantly. The increasing level of zinc significantly increased the seed and straw yield of crop, Ca/Mg ratio of seed and straw. While P/Zn, Zn/Fe, Na/K, Na + K/Ca and Na/Ca ratios of seed and straw decreased significantly.
Effect of amendment of soil with fly ash in combination with other nutrients on change in grain yield, crude protein, NPN and true protein contents of rice
Authors: Muni S. , Rout K. K. , Parida R. C.
Published: August 2016

Field experiment was conducted with two different varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) namely, Pooja grown in kharif season followed by MTU-1001 grown in rabi season. The experiment consisted of nine different treatments, one with recommended dose (RD) of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium (NPK) fertilizer served as the control and the rest of the treatments were either lone fly ash (FA) or FA applied in two doses in combination with different amounts of fertilizers (100% RD or 50% RD of NPK) and farm yard manure (FYM). Except for the lone FA doses the rest of the treatments were found to have varying degrees of beneficial effects on grain yield over the control without affecting the protein contents. The most effective dose was RD + FA @ 40 t ha-1 for both the seasons. The increase in the quantities of FA from 20 t ha-1 to 40 t ha-1 did not changed the protein contents of the grains significantly. Again no significant cumulative effect of the amendments could be observed in the second season.

Published: August 2016

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2012-13 which consisted of two spacing viz., 30 cm x10 cm (S1), 22 cm x 10 cm (S2) and two fertilizer levels viz., F1- 40:40:20 kg NPK per ha, F2- 50:50:25 kg NPK per ha and three genotypes viz., Ajmer Fenugreek-1 (V1), Ajmer Fenugreek-3 (V2) and Ajmer Fenugreek-4 (V3). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Result revealed that significantly higher seed yield (2437.4 kg ha-1), straw yield (3356.8 kg ha-1), biological yield (5794.2 ha-1), net return (Rs.57358 ha-1) and BCR (2.5) were recorded with sowing at a spacing of 22 cm x 10 cm as compared to 30 cm x 10 cm spacing but numbers of pods per plant (37.0), seed yield per plant (43.5 g), test weight (16.6 g) and harvest index (41.80) were higher in 30 cm x 10 cm spacing. Irrespective of spacing and genotypes, the application of 125 percent RDF ( NPK 50:50:25) recorded significantly more pods (40.7) per plant, seed yield (41.9 g) per plant, seed yield (2249.1 kgha-1), straw yield (3094.2 kgha-1), biological yield (5343.2 kgha-1), 1000 seed weight (16.4 g), harvest index (42.07), net return (Rs.51091.0 ha-1) and BCR (2.3) as compared to 100 percent RDF(NPK 40:20:20). Significantly higher number of pods (42.9/pod), seed yield (45.9 g/plant), seed yield (2270.7 kgha-1), straw yield (3066.8 kgha-1), biological yield (5337.4 kgha-1), net return (Rs.51927.0 ha-1) and BCR (2.3) were recorded with AFg-4. Thus, it is inferred that sowing at 22 cm x 10 cm spacing with application of 125 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizer is better for realizing higher yield, net return and BCR.

Sexual and reproductive health services in Albania are based on a positive history of services quality and access. However, in the context of the past decades changes in the social and population perspective, these services are faced with the challenge to meet increasing and evolving demands from girls and women. The data available are scare to portray a good picture of the knowledge, attitude practice and other dimensions of access and quality of sexual and reproductive services from the viewpoint of girls and women. The findings introduced in this article present an attempt to add on the evidence, with the target of Tirana, being the most populated city. The methodology used in this research is composed by two components: the quantitative KAP survey, and the qualitative assessment of the services’ access and quality. The first instrument is tested and has passed the necessary reliability and validity tests and the second instrument is a focus group with girls and women. Both data are analysed with respective software. The respondents reported low level of knowledge on contraception methods, risk factors for cervical cancer, and signs of breast cancer. They accept that practices in terms of modern contraception are not frequent, similar are the prevention measures or testing for cervical cancer, IST/HIV. The study identifies that many barriers remain strong for girls and women in Tirana to access quality services.
Syntagmatic And Paradigmatic Features Of Relative Syntagmas In Azerbaijani And English Languages
Authors: Akbarov Hashim L.
Published: August 2016

The article deals with the definition of syntagma and relative syntagmas in Azerbaijani and English languages. At the same time, they are researched as syntactic units of linguistics. They are classified according to their types. Also, their meaning is spoken of widely in the article. It also talks about the semantic and stylistic features of syntagma as a unit of syntax. Syntagma is investigated as a syntactic unit of linguistics. Also, it comprehensively highlights its importance. This unit consisting of two members of the combined words is used in the functions of determining and being determined. It is explained as a semantic-syntactic event, and it studied and developed its semantic features. Signs perform the system of approaches in the form of syntagmatics and paradigmatics. Syntagmatic approaches are based on distributive potentials of signs. Their valence, but paradigmatic approaches are based on the selection of definite element of paradigm signs. Thus, this is the reason Saussure considers the morphology as the “sphere of paradigmatics”. The syntax is, however, known as the “sphere of syntagmatics”. A notion of “verticality” and “horizontality” exists even in the row of language signs of classic linguistics. Therefore, syntagmatics is explained as a “horizontality”, but paradigmatics as a “verticality”.

Published: August 2016

Abattoir management is left in the hands of the populace and to this end, the wastes generated thereof are handled without consideration of the impacts on the environment. The study established quality deterioration for rainy/dry season physicochemical parameters at downstream (points after the abattoir) as theyexceeded values of the control point (sample site before the abattoir). The analysis of variance test at 0.05 confidence level supports the fact that quality of Anwai River at effluent discharge point differ significantly from quality at control point during rainy season. The rainy season values of the physicochemical parameters for slaughter days far exceeded the non slaughter days. The ANOVA test to determine if dry season quality of the Anwai River at effluent discharge point differ significantly from quality at control point showed no statistical variation at 0.05 level of confidence of confidence suggesting reduced diffused pollution and transportation of pollutant during the dry season. The study also established that the season of the year does have effect on quality deterioration of Anwai River. Diffuse pollution was established to on Anwai River as a result of poor abattoir waste management. It is recommended that the State government intervenes to stem the indiscriminate disposal of abattoir waste into the river to help preserve the health of the river and Anwai community.

Character Traits Of Effective Executives: A Phenomenological Study Of Ceos In Ghana
Authors: Nyukorong Remy , Quisenberry William
Published: August 2016

Leadership in organizations has been widely studied in the literature. However, scant research could be found exploring the critical personality characteristics business executives need to have in order to lead corporate organizations more effectively. This qualitative, phenomenological study was designed to investigate the lived experience of top-level business leaders in leadership roles. Ten Chief Executive Officers of Ghana Club 100 were interviewed and told their experience as leaders. The email and face-to-face interview transcripts were coded and analyzed for themes. The following personality attributes emerged from the study which were found to support and promote strong executive effectiveness: integrity, forward-looking, selfconfidence, emotional intelligence and maturity, and caring for others. The study significance provides information to Board of Directors of Ghanaian Corporations in the selection, promotion, and training of executive-level managers, and potentially lower the costs associated with losing highpotential executive leaders. The study findings could also help business schools and management consultants to focus better on preparing business leaders for the future. A major limitation of the study was the small sample size, which may require caution in generalizing the findings to the entire population. The current study is one of the first to be carried out in Ghana on leader personality traits.

Published: August 2016

The suitability of 10 different rice varieties cultivated in Benin for parboiling was assessed through physical, chemical and sensorial analysis. Paddy rice samples were soaked at three different water temperatures (60, 70 and 80°C) under laboratory conditions. Using these temperatures, significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the chalkiness, hardness and grain homogeneity of the parboiled rice after milling. The paddy rice soaked at 80°C presented the best results: the majority of the parboiled grains were homogeneous (overall mean = 85.16%) and had favorable scores for hardness (overall mean = 8.99 kg) and chalkiness (score =1). In the field, At soaking temperature about 80°C the professional parboilers preferred NERICAL56, BERIS21 and IR841 as the most suitable for parboiling from the investigated rice varieties, due to the grain homogeneity (> 90 %), head rice ratio ( > 86.67 %) and low rate of broken grains after milling (<13.33 %). These three varieties were the most appreciated by the panelists before and after cooking, whereas BL19 and NERICA2 were the least. Findings from this work are important for guiding rice parboiling stakeholders in Benin and other countries in West Africa. NERICAL56, BERIS21 and IR841 were the suitable rice varieties for parboiling to be advised to the processors. To this end, passport data on the varieties suitable for parboiling will be produced and widely disseminated to the stakeholders for rice parboiling.

The paper presents an example of calculation to identify data affected by aberrant errors and removing these data from the values of elongation (A) and impact strength (KC) of Ni-Cu austempered ductile iron, by applying the Romanowski tests. All accepted values as fair were noted with the Yes and all values affected by errors were noted with No. This test has identified two aberrant errors of the experimental data. In this way, the experimental results obtained are validated with a statistical confidence level of 95%.

In the area of Lakota (Midwest, Côte d'Ivoire), where the vegetation is a semi-deciduous forest, cacao growing is practiced by people from different origins. Cacao cropping techniques seem to be influenced by some social and cultural habits, according to the people and the agroecological areas. The present study aimed to understand(1) the cacao cropping systems and to identify(2) the reasons underlying the choice of vegetal species combined to cacao trees in these rural communities. To achieve this goal, interviews were realised with cacao farmers of four villages of the area. These interviews concern farmers’ profiles, the former agriculture practices, the variety of the cultivated cacao and the plants combined to cacao trees. The results show that among the 223 interviewed farmers, 72 (32.3% of the farmers) are natives, 42 (18.8% of the farmers) are immigrants and 109 (48.9% of the farmers) are non-native Ivorians. In total, 77 species regularly combined to cacao trees were named by the farmers and they can be divided into local species and exotic species. Plots ordination shows three agroforestry systems according to ethnic group of the locality. Cacao farms with the large proportion of local species are owned by Lakota native people "Dida". The exotic species are dominant in cacao farms that belong to immigrants (Malian, Burkina Faso and Guinean people) and "Malinké" people (a non-native ivorian ethnic group). The Akan people (a non-native ivorian ethnic group) combine in a same proportions exotic and local species in their cacao farms.
Examining The Dynamics of Cooperation Between Competing Firms in Their R&D Activities (R&D Co-Opetition)
Authors: Maroofi Fakhraddin
Published: August 2016

The relationship between collaboration with competitors and goods innovation performance was investigated along with the moderating effect of the innovating firm's technological capability. The hypothesis that collaboration with competitors has an inverted U-shaped relationship with goods innovation performance was tested using data on new goods introductions from 749 Iranian firms. The results support the balance between competition and collaboration by confirming that collaboration with competitors contributes considerably to successful goods innovation. The positive influences of co-optation certainly seem consistent with the cooperative arguments that collaboration with competitors increases absorptive capacity, improves information exchange and facilitates joint problem solving. The results also show that unnecessary collaboration with competitors can have a negative influence on innovation performance, raising concerns about opportunistic exploitation. The results support the existence of a bell-shaped relationship between application and goods innovation performance. Technological capability and alliances with universities were shown to weaken the relationship.

Published: August 2016

Case:

We report 3 consecutive cases of bone defects of critical size after chronic osteomyelitis in children that were treated with the induced membrane technique, in 2 girls and a boy 7 months to 7 years old. All defects were diaphyseal. The length of resection was from 4 to 12 cm (35% to 55% of the total bone length). Resection of the infected bone, filling of the defect with a cement spacer, and intramedullary fixation were followed by autologous bone-grafting 60 to 90 days later. All defects healed. At the latest follow-up, which ranged from 21 months to 6 years, no recurrence or complication had occurred.

Conclusion:

The induced membrane technique is an attractive option for bone defects of critical size after chronic osteomyelitis in children.
Persistence of Alfalfa Sod‐Seeded into Bermudagrass Pastures on Coastal Plain Soils
Authors: Corriher‐Olson Vanessa , Rouquette Monte , Smith Gerald R. , Haby Vincent A.
Published: August 2016

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) production and persistence in the Lower South of the USA are dependent on climate, soil, and competition from warm‐season perennial grasses such as bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.]. A 3‐year study was conducted at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Overton, to evaluate ‘Alfagraze’ alfalfa persistence on a Darco loamy fine sand (loamy, siliceous thermic Grossarenic Paleudult) when sod‐seeded at three row spacings (10, 20, and 30 inches) into a well‐established ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass pasture. Alfagraze was rotationally stocked with animal residence time from 5 to 13 d and deferment periods ranging from 18 to 27 d. In Year 1, during the first three grazing periods (1 April to 31 May), alfalfa was the dominant species (P < 0.05). Thereafter, from 30 June to 3 October, bermudagrass was dominant (P < 0.05). At the initiation of harvest in Year 2 (1 April), alfalfa dry matter (DM) was 1353, 783, and 690 lb/acre, respectively, at 10‐, 20‐, and 30‐inch drill‐row spacing prior to bermudagrass growth. At the end of Year 2 (3 October), alfalfa DM was 33, 10, and 0.90 lb/acre, respectively, at 10‐, 20‐, and 30‐inch spacings while bermudagrass DM was 1424, 1557, and 1080 lb/acre. At the beginning of Year 3, the percent stands of alfalfa were 14, 11, and 5%, respectively, for 10‐, 20‐, and 30‐inch spaced alfalfa plantings, while the respective percent stands of bermudagrass were 86, 89, and 95%. Under the climatic and sandy Coastal Plains soils of this vegetation region, Alfagraze was not persistent under grazing at any row spacing for more than 3 years when sod‐seeded into a well‐established Coastal bermudagrass pasture.
Seasonal Biology of the Invasive Green Stinkworm Amynthas hupeiensis and Control of Its Casts on Golf Putting Greens
Authors: Redmond Carl T. , Saeed Abiya , Potter Daniel A.
Published: August 2016

Amynthas hupeiensis (Michaelsen) is an invasive east Asian megascolecid earthworm whose prolific casting disrupted maintenance and playability of golf courses along the United States Atlantic seaboard during the 1940s and 1950s. The worm was recently found damaging sand‐based greens of central Kentucky golf courses. This is the first report of A. hupeiensis infestation of golf courses west of the Appalachian Mountains and the first from golf courses anywhere in the United States in more than 60 years. We document A. hupeiensis seasonal biology and casting and evaluate chemical and organic vermicides for mitigating its damage on sand‐based putting greens. Unlike ubiquitous European‐origin earthworms that are active in golf course turf on native soil in early spring and late autumn, A. hupeiensis produces large, sinuate casts on sand‐based greens, especially from May to September. Casting occurs day and night so that greens mowed in the morning are covered with new casts by afternoon. All life stages were present in greens from April to October. A single spring application of the neonicotinoid‐pyrethroid combination insecticides clothianidin + bifenthrin (Aloft) or zeta‐cypermethrin + bifenthrin + imidacloprid (Triple Crown) reduced casting by more than 95% for the rest of the growing season. Products with tea‐seed saponins, concentrated pyrethrins, or soluble sulfur did not suppress casting by A. hupeiensis. We hypothesize that A. hupeiensis may be introduced onto golf courses as cocoons in compost, soil, or crude river sand used for course renovations, a scenario supported by events at our most egregiously infested study site and by confirmation of presence of A. hupeiensis along sandy riverbanks in Kentucky.
Application of Nitrapyrin with Banded Urea, Urea Ammonium Nitrate, and Ammonia Delays Nitrification and Reduces Nitrogen Loss in Canadian Soils

Core Ideas

Nitrapyrin has been tested in fallow field trials in cereal and oilseed growing regions of Canada.

Nitrapyrin maintained N in the ammonium form through critical loss periods.

Nitrapyrin preserved more mineral N in the soil relative to non‐stabilized fertilizer.

Soil N loss is a significant impediment to maximizing yield and profitability for farmers in Canada. Maintaining N in the stable and plant‐available NH4+ form via use of nitrification inhibitors limits the potential for soil N losses from denitrification or leaching. Between 2013 and 2015, twenty‐one research trials were established across the major cereal and oilseed growing regions of Canada to evaluate the efficacy of two commercially available formulated nitrapyrin products, eNtrenchTM and N‐Serve, at stabilizing soil N in the NH4+ form and protecting against N loss. Urea, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or NH3 fertilizer treatments were banded in the fall or spring on fallow land, and the soil was sampled to a depth of 60 cm at multiple time intervals after application. Fall applications of nitrapyrin resulted in 21–63% more NH4N, and 10–19% more total mineral N, at spring sampling after soil thaw relative to non‐stabilized fertilizer. Spring applications of nitrapyrin resulted in larger pools of NH4–N for at least 8 weeks after treatment, and they increased total mineral N by up to 25%, compared with non‐stabilized treatments. Results suggest that eNtrench and N‐Serve are useful tools for growers looking to protect their N investment, optimize crop yield potential, and enhance flexibility of their N application timing.
Genesis and Identification of Octoploids Generated from Tetraploid Prairie Cordgrass
Authors: Lee Moon‐Sub , Rayburn A. Lane , Lee D. K.
Published: August 2016

Prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) is a warm season (C4) perennial grass that could be a potential candidate for studying polyploidization and its effects on environmental adaptability. Polyploidy plays an important role in prairie cordgrass's adaptation and distribution on different ecoregions in the North American Prairie. However, the genetic backgrounds of polyploidy prairie cordgrass distributed in the different edaphic regions are different. Thus, to extend our knowledge of the effect of polyploidy on environmental adaptation, it is necessary to have diverse ploidy levels of plants with a similar genetic background. Tetraploid prairie cordgrass, IL‐102 (2n = 4x = 40), was used as explant material to generate octoploids. Germinated seeds were treated with 0.00, 0.03, 0.06, 0.1, and 1% colchicine or 0.000, 0.002, 0.003, 0.005, and 0.007% oryzalin solution with 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 6, 12, or 24 h. Ploidy levels of treated seedlings were determined by flow cytometric analysis and their putative ploidy were confirmed by the chromosome count. Our results show that stable octoploid plants (2n = 8x = 80) were obtained directly by treating with antimitotic agents or by propagating cytochimeric plants. Induced octoploid plants showed increased genome size and stomata size compared with tetraploid plants. By obtaining different cytotypes in the same genetic background, sole effects of ploidy variations on agronomic traits can be determined.
Generalization of the Green–Ampt Theory for Horizontal Infiltration into Homogeneous Soils
Authors: Prevedello Celso Luiz , Armindo Robson André
Published: August 2016

Core Ideas

The Green–Ampt theory may be now generalized for the unsaturated zone.

This theory is applicable in any homogeneous soil for θi ≠ 0.

The centenary limitation of the Green–Ampt theory for horizontal infiltration has been solved.

In past work, an analytic solution of the Boltzmann transform as a function of matric potential was proposed to estimate the soil water content profile for horizontal water infiltration into porous media. However, it could only be successfully described for sands, but with singularity at position x = 0. Later, others introduced the concept of air‐entry pressure to divide the soil water retention curve into saturated and unsaturated domains to provide an exact solution of the Bruce and Klute equation, with no restrictions, while assuming the initial soil water content to be zero before the infiltration process. The problem remained that the above‐mentioned analytical solution was limited to sands, while the Bruce‐ and Klute‐based approach was limited to zero water content at the beginning. This study was based on both previous studies, and the objective was to develop a solution that works for all soil types and does not depend on zero initial soil moisture content. As a result, an alternative solution is presented that generalizes the centenary theory of Green and Ampt for any homogeneous soil.

Um Protótipo do Paraíso à Brasileira: o Solo Sagrado de Guarapiranga em comparação com os Solos Sagrados no Japão
Authors: Ribeiro Carlos Roberto Sendas
Published: August 2016

Este artigo aborda o chamado ”Solo Sagrado” de Guarapiranga, construído na cidade de São Paulo pela Igreja Messiânica Mundial do Brasil, buscando encontrar convergências e divergências com os Solos Sagrados originais que o inspiraram, construídos pela igreja-mãe, a Igreja Messiânica Mundial, no Japão. Consciente dos vários aspectos diferenciados não só na questão geográfica e cultural entre o Japão e o Brasil, mas também nas características específicas da Igreja Messiânica de cada país, o artigo concentra-se nas adaptações do modelo japonês do solo sagrado aos ambientes natural, social e cultural do Brasil.

Os pentecostais e a Bíblia no Brasil Aproximações mediante a estética da recepção
Authors: Benatte Antonio Paulo
Published: August 2016

O artigo trata da leitura da Bíblia entre comunidades pentecostais brasileiras ao longo do último século, com ênfase na Assembleia de Deus. Com base na história cultural da leitura e nos aportes da estética da recepção, busca indicar modos alternativos de estudo da história da recepção popular dos textos bíblicos. A metodologia combinou a observação participante, a coleta de entrevistas orais e a análise de fontes impressas. Conclui que a noção de “leitura literal” é teórica e empiricamente inadequada para compreender a complexidade da relação dos crentes com a Bíblia Sagrada.
Viva o hoje: O bem-estar evangélico na obra de Max Lucado sob um olhar cultural
Authors: Bellotti Karina Kosicki
Published: August 2016

Este artigo traz resultados parciais de pesquisa de pós-doutorado sobre a cultura do bem-estar presente na mídia evangélica consumida por evangélicos brasileiros desde os anos 1980. Um dos seus grandes expoentes é o pastor norte--americano Max Lucado, autor de diversos sucessos editoriais no mercado americano e brasileiro, que trazem conselhos para superar problemas e aproveitar a vida com a bênção divina. Proponho uma abordagem histórico-cultural do ministério de comunicação de Lucado a fim de explorar os sentidos de suas mensagens de aconselhamento – quais problemas são identificados pelo pastor, quais soluções são oferecidas e como essas questões podem ser articuladas às demandas de um contexto religioso competitivo?
Uma leitura brasileira de “Para uma Psicologia Cultural da Religião”, de Jacob A. Belzen
Authors: Valle Edênio
Published: August 2016

O autor tem como objetivo fazer uma leitura do livro recentemente traduzido ao português (“Para uma Psicologia Cultural da Religião”, do psicólogo holandês da Religião Jacob A. Belzen,), analisando-o desde a realidade religiosa polimorfa do Brasil. Na primeira parte, com base na perspectiva interdisciplinar e na hermenêutica que Belzen pretende dar à abordagem psicológica da Cultura e da Religião, o autor comenta os princípios, aproximações e aplicações que, segundo seu entendimento, poderão, no futuro, conduzir a uma Psicologia verdadeiramente cultural da Religião. Na segunda parte, tomando como referência dois casos holandeses marcadamente patológicos descritos e analisados de forma interdisciplinar por Belzen, Valle faz uma releitura de um caso de milenarismo e suposta intervenção demoníaca acontecido em um remoto lugarejo de Catulé-MG. Mostra que, nesse caso brasileiro – bem estudado por cientistas da religião da USP ainda nos anos 50, quando se deu –, a hermenêutica interdisciplinar e as orientações metodológicas de Belzen poderão ser aplicadas com grande proveito,sendo capazes de trazer nova luz tanto a casos patológicos quanto aos que se situam dentro da normalidade cultural e religiosa de cada grupo.

A dinâmica das filiações religiosas no brasil entre 2000 e 2010: diversificação e processo de mudança de hegemonia
Authors: Alves José Eustáquio Diniz , Barros Luiz Felipe Walter , Cavenaghi Suzana
Published: August 2016

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a dinâmica das filiações religiosas no Brasil entre 2000 e 2010, enfocando quatro grandes grupos: católicos, evangélicos, sem religião e outros. O número de adeptos da religião Católica Apostólica Romana, que já vinha caindo em termos relativos, diminuiu em termos absolutos pela pri­meira vez na última década. As pessoas que se declaram evangélicas mantiveram a tendência de crescimento, tanto em termos absolutos, como relativos. O número de pessoas que se declaram sem religião continuou aumentando, representando o terceiro contingente em nossa análise. Os demais grupos religiosos, mesmo pequenos em termos agregados, também apresentaram aumento. O Brasil vem passando por um processo de diversificação religiosa e aanálise das característi­cas regionais e demográficas da população, segundo as opções religiosas, ajuda a entender o processo em curso de mudança de hegemoniae maior pluralidade na composição das religiões no Brasil.
Max Weber e o Budismo
Authors: Oliveira Arilson
Published: August 2016

Em relação ao Budismo, Max Weber explica que, apesar de não ter uma importância definitiva na Índia atual, seu grande êxito na Índia antiga, radicado em seu desenvolvimento – hoje, bem mais ampliado – na China, Tibete, Coreia, Japão etc., o qualifica como religião universal, sendo ela uma das maiores religiões missionárias da Terra. Segundo Weber, o Budismo não se vincula a um mero conhecimento especulativo, senão a um estado de paz e tranquilidade que se alcança renunciando ao mundo mediante a autorrealização; o que se busca não é a libertação para a vida eterna, mas uma tranquilidade para a morte.
Ensaio para uma Fenomenologia do Pensamento Védico
Authors: Garcia Rafael Rodrigues
Published: August 2016

O presente texto se propõe a apresentar uma fenomenologia do pensamento védico a partir da estrutura teórica da Antropologia Filosófica de Ernst Cassirer. Acreditamos assim poder compreender sua sistemática e, destarte, oferecê-la como base capaz de integrá-lo no corpus das investigações sobre o fenômeno religioso, mantendo-o, entretanto, próximo tanto quanto possível de suas próprias premissas. Para tanto, apresentaremos pontos suficientes da perspectiva teórica de Cassirer para a compreensão do pensamento religioso enquanto tal. Em seguida, trataremos da fenomenologia do pensamento védico a partir de tal arcabouço, com especial atenção para os textos śruti. Por fim, apresentaremos algumas das perspectivas de investigação que se abrem a partir da nossa exposição
