Cognitive Void In Relation To Attendant Circumstances As Subjective Mens Rea
Authors: Ben-David Guy
Published: June 2015

How should the criminal law treat a person who did not pay any attention to the existence of attendant circumstances noted in the definition of an offense? This mental state of lack of attention to the existence of the attendant circumstance is analogous to the existence of a void in the actor’s consciousness, and has therefore been awarded the name “cognitive void.” Because the criminal law is founded on cognitive theory that offers a binary concept to establish an accused’s state of mind depending on the existence or absence of cognition, it is difficult to impose criminal liability on an actor who acted out of a cognitive void. The purpose of this Article is to discuss the difficulty that it engenders and the attempts to solve this difficulty. The Article presents the proposed thesis, suggesting that different states of cognitive void should be examined in accordance with the extent of culpability that they represent. Therefore, the Article calls for the abandonment of the prevalent basic assumption that sees cognitive void as a state indicating lack of subjective mens rea, and suggests replacing it with a normative approach that would recognize cognitive void as a multidimensional term covering a range of different mental states.
Gastric Schwannoma: A Postoperative Surprise A Case Report.
Authors: Ait ALi Abdelmounaim , Essarghini Mohamed , Hajjouji Abderzak , Sair Khalid
Published: June 2015

Gastric Schwannoma is a rare, slow-growing, and clinically non-specific submucosal tumor, originating from Schwann cells with excellent prognosis after surgical resection.
We report a clinical case of a patient presented with gastric schwannoma revealed by non-specific gastric signs and of which the definitive diagnosis is done through immunohistochemistry of the resected specimen, showing strong S100 protein positivity. The evolution is favorable after a partial gastrectomy with a decline of two years. Through this case, we are trying to trace the rarity, strong similarities with gastric stromal tumors and especially, the weak index of suspicion for this diagnosis.

El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar los estomas de cinco especies de vainilla. Durante el año 2012 se tomaron muestras de hoja de Vanilla planifolia G. Jackson, V. pompona Schiede, V. inodora Schiede, V. insignis Ames y V. odorata Presl, del banco de germoplasma de vainilla de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. Se obtuvo el tamaño de estomas al considerar el largo y ancho de estos, índice y número estomático de la parte abaxial y adaxial de la hoja, en un diseño de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones. V. pompona Schiede y V. inodora Schiede presentaron mayor índice estomático con 8713 y 8246 estomas por mm2, respectivamente, seguido por V. odorata Presl con 4412 estomas por mm2. V. insignis Ames y V. planifolia G. Jackson tuvieron el menor índice estomático con 2968 y 1378 estomas por mm2, respectivamente, en la superficie abaxial de la hoja, diferencias que fueron estadísticamente significativas (p≤ 0,05). Por la posición de los estomas en la hoja, V. planifolia G. Jackson y V. pompona Schiede se pueden considerar hipoestomáticas por presentar estomas solamente en la parte abaxial de la hoja. V. insignis Ames, V. inodora Schiede y V. odorata Presl se pueden considerar anfiestomáticas por presentar estomas en la parte abaxial y adaxial de la hoja. V. inodora Schiede presentó estomas más pequeños en comparación con las demás especies, característica importante para ser integrada en el mejoramiento genético del género Vanilla, al considerar el cambio climático, donde el aumento de temperatura y disminución de la precipitación requieren de genotipos con mayor eficiencia en el uso de agua.

Authors: Noda-Leyva Yolai , Pérez-Vásquez Arturo , Valdés-Rodríguez Ofelia Andrea
Published: June 2015

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la asociación de tres especies de oleaginosas: Jatropha curcas (Linn), Ricinus communis (Linn) y Moringa oleifera (Lam) en la etapa de establecimiento. El estudio se realizó en el área experimental del Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Veracruz, México, durante el periodo 2013-2014. Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorizado y se muestrearon diez plantas al azar por cada especie en las que se evaluó altura de la planta, grosor del tallo y de la rama primaria, proyección de la copa y afectaciones por plagas y enfermedades. Se empleó estadística descriptiva (promedio). Jatropha y Moringa tuvieron un crecimiento acelerado (20 cm) entre los 45 y 60 días de evaluación, mientras que el crecimiento de Ricinus fue más lento (10 cm) y su altura resultó inferior a la reportada en la literatura. Las variables grosor del tallo y de la rama primaria y proyección de la copa en J. curcas y M. oleifera tuvieron poca variabilidad; las plantas de Ricinus fueron afectadas por plagas y patógenos, sin embargo, no se encontraron los mismos insectos en las especies evaluadas. Moringa fue la especie que sobresalió respecto a las variables evaluadas y Jatropha expresó un comportamiento morfológico similar al encontrado en sistemas de monocultivo. Para Ricinus la asociación no fue favorable debido al efecto de la sombra y el ataque severo de agentes patógenos.

Authors: Palma-Jiménez Melissa , Blanco-Meneses Mónica
Published: June 2015

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar la metodología de acondicionamiento adecuada para la limpieza de los especímenes de cochinilla harinosa y su correcta observación. La investigación se llevó acabo en el laboratorio del Centro de Investigación en Estructuras Microscópicas (CIEMIC) de la Universidad de Costa Rica durante el año 2012. Se implementaron cuatro tipos de metodología, con los cuales se evidenció una mejora gradual para la observación de las ultraestructuras a través del microscopio electrónico de barrido. Cada proceso fue descrito detalladamente, el que mostró mejores resultados fue en el que se incorporó xilol al 10% (en algunos casos resultó viable utilizando etanol al 95-100%), ya que se logró eliminar la cera del cuerpo del insecto, evitar el colapso del mismo y observar ultraestructuras específicas del individuo. Esta metodología permitirá reducir el tiempo y los costos en futuras investigaciones taxonómicas de la cochinilla harinosa.

Authors: Rodríguez-González Shirley , Schneider Sergio , Coelho-de-Souza Gabriela
Published: June 2015

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la importancia del cambio del sistema alimentario convencional para el logro de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y el desarrollo rural. Este texto se dividió en tres secciones. En la primera se caracterizó el sistema alimentario convencional y sus consecuencias, mostrándose la necesidad de un cambio que procure la integración de las dimensiones social, ambiental y de salud. En la segunda parte se abordó el papel del Estado en las intervenciones relacionadas con el sistema de abastecimiento alimentario, las cuales son fundamentales para la construcción de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y la activación de procesos en el área rural que favorezcan su desarrollo. Finalmente, se presentó la experiencia de Brasil con el Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar, en la cual se realizó una vinculación de los alimentos producidos por los pequeños productores con el programa de alimentación escolar, permitiendo la reconexión de la producción y el consumidor a través de mercados institucionales. Esta vinculación creó incentivos para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de los pequeños productores y al mismo tiempo, mejoró la disponibilidad de alimentos de mayor calidad para poblaciones vulnerables y promueve patrones alimentarios que permiten la conservación de la cultura alimentaria.
Uso de teorías de comunicación para disminuir el error diagnóstico
Authors: Monestel Umaña Silvia , Samaha Laya
Published: June 2015

Objetivo: El error diagnóstico es el descuido universal en el contexto médico, siendo causa de muchas muertes, daños, y la negligencia más cara en medicina. Una forma de controlar este error es explorando el camino más relevante de la comunicación en el contexto de salud: la comunicación médico-paciente durante la anamnesis. Este documento revisa el modelo de la Teoría de Manejo Motivado de Información en una prueba empírica que observa, desde la perspectiva del médico, el proceso de manejo de información. Debido a que esta teoría ha sido exitosa al predecir decisiones de búsqueda de la información, 50 médicos de diferentes especialidades en Suiza y Costa Rica completaron voluntariamente un cuestionario, brindando datos de cómo su nivel de incertidumbre dirige sus procesos de búsqueda de información para pacientes en cuidado agudo. Los resultados contribuyen al entendimiento de los procesos de búsqueda de información que impulsa a los profesionales de salud, así como los determinantes más fuertes de este proceso. Al haber identificado ocho diferentes categorías en el estado de anamnesis, este modelo parece tener mejor adaptación en sólo uno de ellos, Queja Principal. Este estudio abre las puertas al desarrollo de más investigación aplicando esta teoría en el ámbito médico.
El origen de las especialidades médicas; en búsqueda de un acercamiento a la práctica médica actual
Authors: Casas Patiño Donovan , Rodríguez Torres Alejandra
Published: June 2015

El presente documento describe el origen de algunas especialidades acorde a los momentos históricos. Se toma como referencia la propuesta de Eric Hobsbawm acerca de un siglo XIX largo y un siglo XX corto, según este autor el siglo XIX comienza históricamente con el estallido de la revolución Francesa 1789, y finalizó con el inicio de la Primera Guerra Mundial 1914 y el siglo XX nuevo, que inicia con el término del bloque soviético en 1991 y se continua hasta este momento. La práctica médica y su especialización van de la mano con estos cambios políticos-sociales y económicos, lo que nos lleva a reflexionar sobre ¿qué tipo de especialista médico será necesario en los próximos años?

Published: June 2015

Las hemoglobinopatías son alteraciones de las cadenas de globina que componen la hemoglobina, dentro de las alteraciones más comunes destacan las talasemias y la drepanocitosis. En el CIHATA se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de las muestras analizadas por electroforesis de hemoglobina durante el período 2011-2013, en donde se obtuvo un total de 2345 muestras analizadas, de las cuáles el patrón electroforético más frecuente fue el de Hb AA2, con un valor A2 promedio de (4.8±0.8%), compatible con el diagnóstico de β talasemia menor; seguido por el patrón asociado a portadores Hb S. En menor cantidad se observaron resultados de Hb AC, AF, AA2F, entre otros. Los patrones se distribuyeron a lo largo del país, pero localizados mayormente en la región central (sesgo relacionado a mayor área de atracción). Es importante la detección de los patrones anormales, pues aunque no se asocien con un cuadro clínico, en condiciones de hipoxia o estrés fisiológico si se pueden presentar complicaciones graves y sobre para brindar consejo genético. Esta actualización brinda un panorama de la frecuencia de hemoglobinopatías circulantes en Costa Rica durante los últimos años. Se debe procurar la recopilación de información clínica, y demográfica completa de todos los pacientes, con el fin de hacer reportes de caso completos que puedan ayudar en el óptimo abordaje diagnóstico de los pacientes y familiares.

Published: June 2015

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a produção de massas alimentícias de maior densidade nutricional, utilizando como base a mistura de três matérias-primas biofortificadas: arroz, feijão e trigo. Para a produção das massas, foi utilizado um delineamento experimental central composto rotacional a fim de avaliar o efeito da umidade e do percentual de farinha de feijão na farinha de arroz, na qualidade das massas. Os melhores resultados (maior aumento de peso e volume e menor tempo de cozimento) foram obtidos nos tratamentos: T4 (36% umidade, 9% feijão, 21% arroz), T8 (34% umidade, 9,9% feijão, 20,1% arroz) e T9-13 (34,5% umidade, 5,5% feijão, 24,5% arroz). Os tratamentos selecionados apresentaram características tecnológicas muito próximas às da massa alimentícia controle (100% de farinha de trigo refinada), com o diferencial na composição química, na qual se pôde verificar o aumento na densidade nutricional, com a adição de farinha de feijão e arroz polido à formulação
Acute appendicitis in pregnancy: literature review
Authors: Franca Neto Antônio Henriques de , Amorim Melania Maria Ramos do , Nóbrega Bianca Maria Souza Virgolino
Published: June 2015

Introduction: suspected appendicitis is the most common indication for surgery in non-obstetric conditions during pregnancy and occurs in about one in 500 to one in 635 pregnancies per year. This occurs more often in the second trimester of pregnancy. Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical problem encountered during pregnancy. Methods: a literature review on research of scientific articles, under the terms “acute appendicitis” and “pregnancy”, in PubMed, Lilacs/SciELO, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Uptodate databases. Results: the clinical manifestations of appendicitis are similar to non-pregnant women, however, without a classic presentation, which often occurs, diagnosis is difficult and must be supported by imaging. Discussion: clinical diagnosis should be strongly suspected in pregnant women with classic findings such as abdominal pain that migrates to the right lower quadrant. The main purpose of imaging is to reduce delays in surgical intervention due to diagnostic uncertainty. A secondary objective is to reduce, but not eliminate, the negative appendectomy rate. Differential diagnosis of suspected acute appendicitis usually includes pathologies considered in non-pregnant people. Conclusion: the imaging study of choice is ultrasound, MRI may be used when the former is not conclusive and, as a last resort, a CT scan can be performed. The treatment remains appendectomy by laparotomy, since the feasibility of video- assisted surgery in these cases remains controversial.
Subject and network: potential and political limits of the (un)making of bodies online
Authors: Zafra Remedios
Published: June 2015

This essay concerns subjective construction on the Internet, the potential and limitations for the deconstruction of the social meanings of the body (there where, interfaced and displaced by the machine, it is made, but factitiously). Potentials and limits also for the ideation of camouflaged forms of repetition and symbolic repression present new technological scenarios. In this text, screens, as the material node of cyberspace, dress us and carry a new complexity in the identity and subjective constitution, to which are added the different spaces of the online relationship (such as social networks) which territorialize the Internet today; spaces that we think condition the presentation and representation of the "I" in its relationship with others and the constitution of desire and possible collectivities. The starting point will be the body as a symbolic construction, with its ways of seeing, its identity and social filters and its subjective pretensions; but also the subject from a materialist position that emphasizes the technologically located and amplified body, conditioned by the biopolitical design of the most common electronic devices of recent decades. From them we analyze some of the points of tension, possibilities and political conditionalities for subjective awareness and practice on the Internet.

Published: June 2015

This article aimed to analyze the perception of the nursing team about the care of institutionalized elderly. It consists of a qualitative and exploratory study developed in the six long-term care nursing homes for elderly in the city of João Pessoa/PB, Brazil, from January to June 2013. The sample was comprised 50% of the nurses from all the institutions, totaling 13 participants, whose data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires. Content analysis was used in the study, which enabled the construction of two thematic categories: I) Perceptions of the delivery of care by the nursing staff of the institutions; II) Perceptions of the care activity to be performed by the nursing staff in the institutions. We conclude that the participants are aware of the need for an individualized and systematized care by the nursing staff, aimed to the prevention of diseases, health promotion and active aging.

O artigo pretende analisar algumas questões fundamentais para a compreensão da vida cotidiana dos trabalhadores da mina de Morro Velho (Nova Lima, Minas Gerais), nas décadas de 1930 e 1940 (primeira fase do governo de Getúlio Vargas), destacando as antidisciplinas que esses trabalhadores foram construindo em seu cotidiano. O exame das diferentes formas de recepção às ideias divulgadas pelo Estado Novo permite identificar certas práticas presentes nesse meio operário: pequenas resistências face ao "colonizador" inglês; manifestações de insubmissão às ideologias presentes no Estado varguista, em seu período autoritário.
Auditory brainstem response in gerbils submitted to ischemia and sepsis
Authors: Lima Janaina Patricio de , Velasco Irineu Tadeu , Barbeiro Denise Frediane , Schochat Eliane
Published: June 2015

Introduction: An ischemic stroke is a clinical condition that affects thousands of people worldwide. As a result of this injury, neuronal death can be observed, and in the natural course of recovery, the individual may develop sepsis. Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response that can lead the patient to death. To assess the clinical condition of a patient with this condition, the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) can be useful, since it is not an invasive procedure, it is a fast technique and it can be done at the bedside. Purpose: To assess auditory brainstem response (ABR) latency values in gerbils subjected to ischemia and sepsis. Methods: ABR values were collected from 72 adult male gerbils, which were divided into six groups: control, sepsis, ischemia, sham, ischemia with sepsis, and sham with sepsis. For the induction of sepsis, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was applied intraperitoneally in gerbils. The animals were anesthetized with a ketamine/xylazine combination before collection; their ABR were collected before any procedure (base collection), after ischemia, and 24 hours after the application of LPS. The absolute latency of wave IV was evaluated, and the values were compared between groups. Results: There were significant differences in the groups submitted to sepsis in the latency value of wave IV in relation with the other groups. Conclusion: ABR was sensitive to sepsis with the increase in latency of wave IV during the development of the disease in the experimental model used.

Published: June 2015

OBJECTIVE Evaluate and correlate individual, work-related and organizational factors that influence adherence to standard precautions among nursing professionals of psychiatric hospitals in São Paulo. METHOD An exploratory cross-sectional study conducted with 35 nursing professionals, using the assessment tool for adherence to standard precautions through the Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5. RESULTS Knowledge of the precautions received a high score (4.69); adherence received (3.86) and obstacles (3.78), while intermediaries and the scales of organizational factors received low scores (2.61). There was a strong correlation between the magnitude adherence scale and the personal protective equipment availability (r = 0.643; p = 0.000). The training scale for prevention of HIV exposure (p = 0.007) was statistically different between the nurses and nursing assistants. CONCLUSION The organizational factors negatively contributed to adherence to standard precautions, indicating that psychiatric institutions lack safe working conditions, ongoing training and management actions to control infections.

Authors: Costa Jorge Lopes da , Mourão Vitória
Published: June 2015

A avaliação da política de cuidados continuados integrados em Portugal por peritos e decisores em saúde enquadra-se no modelo sistêmico do processo político. Este obtém-se a partir de inputs organizados seguindo uma lógica de representação de interesses públicos, de negociação, na qual as partes tendem a convergir para uma solução consensual. Não se discute a substância da política, mas desenvolve-se uma apreciação normativa da mesma procurando responder à questão da sustentabilidade e da sua adequação às necessidades tendo como pano de fundo a perspectiva do risco como que agitando a eficácia e a eficiência nos resultados esperados. Este estudo permite, através de uma abordagem qualitativa apreciar o panorama do risco da rede nacional de cuidados continuados portuguesa, bem como interpretar esse fenómeno, a partir da teorização da informação recolhida. Neste sentido realizaram-se onze entrevistas aprofundadas a interlocutores de relevo na área da saúde, com experiência a nível nacional e internacional. Dados mostram que a manutenção dos cuidados de longa duração têm sido um dos principais tópicos discutidos na agenda política e que podem até assumir diversas opçoes de de financiamento. O discurso dominante expressa o desafio e custo da mudança, num momento em que esse nível de cuidados atinge um patamar proeminente no setor da saúde.

Published: June 2015

Agroforestry systems can reduce the risks of investing in just one crop. However, there are uncertainties like other agricultural and forestry activities. Therefore, there is the need for economic studies under conditions of economic risk of agroforestry systems. This work reports an analysis of the main components of costs and revenues of an agroforestry system with coffee and banana, as well as an analysis of its economic performance through indicators: net present value, equivalent period benefit (or cost), family labor revenue and a sensitivity analysis of net present value. The main cost components in the system are the human labor and mineral and organic fertilizers applied in coffee, and the costs for the production of coffee outweigh the costs of banana production. The monthly income from the production of bananas balances the costs of coffee production, generating a positive cash flow in the studied period. Financial indicators showed positive values, demonstrating the economic viability of the system with coffee and banana. The agroforestry system is economically feasible, even with variations of ± 20% in production costs and selling prices of their products. Variables that showed greater sensitivity on the net present value were the selling price of coffee and bananas, and the cost of coffee production.

Published: June 2015

Sorghum is used as a source of energy alternative to corn, however, its low pigments content are considered hindrance to the use of this feedstuff for poultry. The inclusion of annatto seed by-product (ASB) may solve this problem. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ASB inclusion in diets containing sorghum as the main source of energy on performance, carcass traits, meat color, and economic viability in the production of slow-growth broilers. A total of 420 sexed chicks of the Carijó Pesadão line were distributed in a completely randomized design according to a 2 × 7 factorial arrangement, with three replicates of 10 birds per treatment. Studied factors were two sexes (males and females) and seven diets, wherein one had corn as source of energy and the others contained sorghum plus inclusion of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15% of ASB. Irrespective of the sex, diets did not affect feed intake (g/bird), feed conversion (g/g), yields (%) of carcass, breast and drumstick+thigh, percentage of abdominal fat, or relative weight of the liver. However, the inclusion of ASB influenced the color parameters of the meat making it more pigmented and improved the economic viability parameters. In diets for slow-growth birds containing sorghum as the main source of energy, ASB can be included up to 15%, and meat pigmentation problems can be reduced with total substitution of corn by sorghum with inclusion of ASB from 3%.

Objective Evaluate the effects of VEGF165 gene transfer in the process of remodeling of the extracellular matrix after an acute myocardial infarct. Methods Wistar rats were submitted to myocardial infarction, after the ligation of the left descending artery, and the left ventricle ejection fraction was used to classify the infarcts into large and small. The animals were divided into groups of ten, according to the size of infarcted area (large or small), and received or not VEGF165 treatment. Evaluation of different markers was performed using immunohistochemistry and digital quantification. The primary antibodies used in the analysis were anti-fibronectin, anti-vimentin, anti-CD44, anti-E-cadherin, anti-CD24, anti-alpha-1-actin, and anti-PCNA. The results were expressed as mean and standard error, and analyzed by ANOVA, considering statistically significant if p≤0.05. Results There was a significant increase in the expression of undifferentiated cell markers, such as fibronectin (protein present in the extracellular matrix) and CD44 (glycoprotein present in the endothelial cells). However, there was decreased expression of vimentin and PCNA, indicating a possible decrease in the process of cell proliferation after treatment with VEGF165. Markers of differentiated cells, E-cadherin (adhesion protein between myocardial cells), CD24 (protein present in the blood vessels), and alpha-1-actin (specific myocyte marker), showed higher expression in the groups submitted to gene therapy, compared to non-treated group. The value obtained by the relation between alpha-1-actin and vimentin was approximately three times higher in the groups treated with VEGF165, suggesting greater tissue differentiation. Conclusion The results demonstrated the important role of myocytes in the process of tissue remodeling, confirming that VEGF165 seems to provide a protective effect in the treatment of acute myocardial infarct.
Games are motivating, aren´t they? Disputing the arguments for digital game-based learning
Authors: Westera Wim
Published: June 2015

The growing popularity of game-based learning reflects the burning desire for exploiting the involving and motivating characteristics of games for serious purposes. A wide range of arguments for using games for teaching and learning can be encountered in scientific papers, policy reports, game reviews and advertisements. With contagious enthusiasm, the proponents of game-based learning make their claims for using games to improve education. However, standing up for a good cause is easily replaced with the unconcerned promotion and spread of the word, which tends to make gaming an article of faith. This paper critically examines and re-establishes the argumentation used for game-based learning and identifies misconceptions that confuse the discussions. It reviews the following claims about game-based learning: 1) games foster motivation, 2) play is a natural mode of learning, 3) games induce cognitive flow, which is productive for learning, 4) games support learning-by-doing, 5) games allow for performance monitoring, 6) games offer freedom of movement and the associated problem ownership, 7) games support social learning, 8) games allow for safe experimentation, 9) games accommodate new generations of learners, who have grown up immersed in digital media, and 10) there are many successful games for learning. Assessing the validity of argumentation is considered essential for the credibility of game-based learning as a discipline.

Biostratigraphy and Foramiferal Paleoecology of the Early Eocene Naredi Formation, SW Kutch, India
Authors: Keller Gerta , Khozyem Hassan , Saravanan Nachiappan , Adatte Thierry , Bajpai Sunil , Spangenberg Jorge
Published: June 2015

The Naredi Formation in southwestern Kutch overlies the last Deccan Trap deposited during the early Paleocene. The lower part of the Naredi Formation (2.8-4.2 m from base) is of early Eocene (Ypresian) age (SBZ8, E4) based on larger foraminifera and rare planktic foraminifera, whereas the upper part (9.3-11 m, including the Assilina limestone) is of late early Eocene age (SBZ11, E6). There is no age control for the basal 0-2.8 m and between 4.2-9.3 m because microfossils are rare or absent. Small benthic and rare planktic foraminifera are common in three short intervals and indicate deposition in a brackish to normal marine inner shelf environment (SBZ8, E4), brackish environment (middle of section, no age control) and inner shelf to marginal marine environment (SBZ11, E6). Two phases of marine transgressions can be identified with the maximum transgressions in each phase coincident with the lower and upper foraminiferal assemblages. A paleosol indicated by root traces and burrows (5.9 m) represents a regression and possibly sequence boundary.

This study is dedicated to Dr. Lukas Hottinger (1933-2011), who passed away before this study was completed. We remember him for his invaluable contributions to the biostratigraphy, taxonomy and paleoecology of larger Foraminifera and his generous ever cheerful willingness to teach, advise and share his immense knowledge and expertise. We will miss him.
Como se devem verter os antigos: Luciano e o século XVIII português
Authors: Brandão Jacyntho Lins
Published: June 2015

Trois traductions de Comment on doit écrire l’histoire de Lucien de Samosate ont été publiées au XVIIIe siècle en Portugal: les deux premières, dans un seul volume, l’une à côté de l’autre, par les Frères Jacintho de São Miguel et Manoel de Santo António (1733), et la dernière par le Père Custódio de Oliveira (1771). Cet article analyse les trois traductions et leurs paratextes (préfaces, dédicaces, appréciations et notes), en posant trois sortes de questions: a) porquoi traduire; b) comment traduire; c) comment juger les options idéologiques des traducteurs par rapport au contexte politique et culturel de l’Illuminisme portugais.

Helena em Odisseia IV
Authors: Sais Lilian Amadei
Published: June 2015

The aim of this paper is to present a brief analysis of Helen in Book IV of Homer’s Odyssey. Book IV displays the well- known stories of Helen and Menelaus, symmetric in form but opposite in the way Helen is represented. An approach of Helen’s ambiguity in this book may help to establish the tension it generates in the whole of Odyssey. Besides that, the meaning of this ambiguity and tension can be seen as potentially influencing other female characters, like Penelope herself.
Hesíodo y el valor del oîkos: espacio y subjetividad
Authors: Colombani María Cecília
Published: June 2015

O plano do presente trabalho consiste em analisar as características que assume o lar em Os Trabalhos e os Dias, bem como a funcionalidade do mesmo no âmbito geral do poema. sabemos que essa obra pode ser lida a partir de vários pontos de vista, sendo um deles a consideração do poema como um verdadeiro manual de conselhos práticos para o agricultor, que constitui a base da economia agrícola aldeã. sem dúvida, por meio desta dimensão didática, surge a ideia do trabalho como algo regulador da constituição ética do homem. se unirmos os dois elementos, trabalho mais agricultura, um modelo apropriado de interpretação é o valor do campo como articulador de ambos os tópicos. A referência à terra e ao espaço aberto que ela supõe é, sem dúvida, um elemento-chave da leitura do poema em termos topológicos ou espaciais.
Fingi(dores) de si mesmos: dores fingidas e reais na oratória romana
Authors: Vasconcellos Paulo Sérgio de
Published: June 2015

This paper focuses on the conceptions of ethos and pathos in Roman rhetoric in order to investigate how far were ancient Romans from our notion of poetical persona. Its title dialogues with the poem “Autopsicografia” by Fernando Pessoa, whose “feigned pain” has a correlate in Ciceronian fictus dolor. This preliminary consideration is part of our broader investigation on the reception of subjective poetry in ancient Rome, and more widely in classical studies.
Traduções em prosa da Odisseia de Homero: exemplos e problemas
Authors: Malta André
Published: June 2015

My aim is to discuss four Portuguese translations of Homer’s Odyssey. Two were written in prose (by Dias Palmeira/ Alves Correia and by Jaime Bruna), in the 20th century, and two in free verse (by Frederico Lourenço and by Donaldo Schüler), in the 21st century. A quick review of these examples reveals that all of them want to recover Homer’s narrative fluidity, without giving attention to its main formal aspects – which surely enhance the understanding of the contents. As to the latest versions, it is possible to claim that, despite the impressive differences between them, deployment of a free verse betrays the goal of only establishing a line by line correspondence between the original text and the translation, and in the end the principles of a prose translation seem again to guide these versions to Portuguese.
A tripulação de Odisseu e o proêmio da Odisseia
Authors: Frade Gustavo Henrique Montes
Published: June 2015

This work relates the presence of Odysseus’ crew and of the eating of the cattle of Helios in the first verses of the Odyssey to three narrative functions of the proem: a first definition of Odysseus and his poem; the setting of a starting point to the narrative selection; and an introduction to the Odyssean themes of human error caused by ignoring warnings and the relations between gods and humans, two themes explicitly connected in Zeus’ speech (I, 32-43). The companions are the first example of failure caused by a bad reading of the world, which leads them to the foolish decision of committing an impiety. They are also the first examples of the extreme consequences of a god’s rage.

A persona lírico-elegíaca de Encólpio no Satyricon de Petrônio
Authors: Avellar Júlia Batista Castilho
Published: June 2015

This paper investigates the presence of tópoi and models of Latin lyric-elegiac poetry in two episodes of Petronius’s Satyricon: the breaking of Encolpius and Giton and the love relationship between Encolpius/ Polyaenus and Circe. In the first episode, the focus will be on the narrator’s poetic inserts, and, in the second one, on prose narrative. We seek to identify and analyse some allusions to lyric-elegiac literary tradition in these episodes, to verify how their presence causes the parody of the models and, in this way, to see how this resource produces a metaliterary discussion. Furthermore, we intend to show that, more than a “mythomaniac narrator” (Conte, 1996), Encolpius presents himself as a literomaniac narrator, assuming various personae throughout the narrative (not only an epic persona, but also a lyric-elegiac one).

Le cuisinier fanfaron chez Athénée
Authors: Carastro Marcello
Published: June 2015

Nos Deipnosophístai, Ateneu põe em cena a figura do alazo_n mágeiros, o cozinheiro fanfarrão, que intervém no espaço do banquete não somente para apresentar seus pratos, mas também para celebrar longamente sua arte culinária. Recorrendo a numerosas citações eruditas (o mais das vezes, das comédias), o cozinheiro rivaliza com os doutores à mesa. Mas este gosto partilhado pela erudição não saberia ocultar a separação que existe entre o mágeiros e os convivas. Afim de apreender a distância que os separa, este artigo propõe um estudo da noção de alazoneía, fanfarronice. Aparece, assim, uma vasta rede de noções e de representações que articulam a fala épica, as sonoridades agudas ou ainda o discurso dos sophístai (doutores) com o prazer, a enganação, a imobilização e o esquecimento.

 

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: cozinheiro; fanfarronice; fala; sophístai; Ateneu.
