Published: September 2020

Innocuous mechanical stimuli, such as rubbing or stroking the skin, relieve itch through the activation of low-threshold mechanoreceptors. However, the mechanisms behind this inhibition remain unknown. We presently investigated whether stroking the skin reduces the responses of superficial dorsal horn neurons to pruritogens in male C57BL/6J mice. Single-unit recordings revealed that neuronal responses to chloroquine were enhanced during skin stroking, and this was followed by suppression of firing below baseline levels after the termination of stroking. Most of these neurons additionally responded to capsaicin. Stroking did not suppress neuronal responses to capsaicin, indicating state-dependent inhibition. Vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3)-lineage sensory nerves compose a subset of low-threshold mechanoreceptors. Stroking-related inhibition of neuronal responses to chloroquine was diminished by optogenetic inhibition of VGLUT3-lineage sensory nerves in male and femaleVglut3-cre/NpHR-EYFPmice. Conversely, in male and femaleVglut3-cre/ChR2-EYFPmice, optogenetic stimulation of VGLUT3-lineage sensory nerves inhibited firing responses of spinal neurons to pruritogens after the termination of stimulation. This inhibition was nearly abolished by spinal delivery of the κ-opioid receptor antagonist nor-binaltorphimine dihydrochloride, but not the neuropeptide Y receptor Y1 antagonist BMS193885. Optogenetic stimulation of VGLUT3-lineage sensory nerves inhibited pruritogen-evoked scratching without affecting mechanical and thermal pain behaviors. Therefore, VGLUT3-lineage sensory nerves appear to mediate inhibition of itch by tactile stimuli.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTRubbing or stroking the skin is known to relieve itch. We investigated the mechanisms behind touch-evoked inhibition of itch in mice. Stroking the skin reduced the activity of itch-responsive spinal neurons. Optogenetic inhibition of VGLUT3-lineage sensory nerves diminished stroking-evoked inhibition, and optogenetic stimulation of VGLUT3-lineage nerves inhibited pruritogen-evoked firing. Together, our results provide a mechanistic understanding of touch-evoked inhibition of itch.
From Jennies to JATO

The First World War was seminal to the development of military aeronautics and aircraft/aerospace manufacturing in California. While flight innovators Glenn L. Martin and Glenn H. Curtiss made key prewar contributions to military aviation within the state, it was America's entry into the war that was the primary catalyst to the establishment of military air facilities as well as a constellation of small, federally contracted airplane factories within California. Using Sacramento's aviation training school at Mather Field and the airplane factory at North Sacramento's Liberty Iron Works as case studies, this article details the ways that World War I was an early catalyst to the statewide embrace of the seemingly limitless potential of aviation, what many then referred to as “air-mindedness.” An intimate look at both Liberty Iron Works and Mather Field reveals how World War I made Sacramento a martial city, strongly committed to a century of pursuing, and playing host to, military aeronautics and aircraft/aerospace production, as manifested by today's Mather Airport (until 1993, Mather Air Force Base) and aerospace giant Aerojet-General, an early innovator of jet-assisted take-off (JATO) and the indirect progeny of Liberty Iron Works. Several factors related to the advent of World War I—most notably, the promise of economic growth, the allure and mystery of flight, and the local prestige that comes with contributing to national defense—inculcated Sacramentans (and Californians) with an adoration for the military, a sense of regional independence, a reverence for the economic promise of the aircraft and aerospace industry, and an aviation-centered mentality that would endure into the twenty-first century.
Is Black Hole A Hole?
Authors: Wandreal Johansson
Published: September 2020

The first picture of block hole was released on April 10th, 2019. This breakthrough came after a decade of collaborate work to align the myriad parts of the giant project and gain the highest resolution possible from the Earth’s surface. Even from our original consideration, block hole is a mysterious greedy hole that can suck anything away no matter how big the matter is. However, the newly released results indicated that block hole is not the imaginary hole; it is as a dark shadow within a doughnut-like ring of hot, glowing material with almost the size of our solar system.

Published: September 2020

The use of fuels, urbanization growth, and economic development have influenced the generation of atmospheric pollutants such as NOx (nitrogen oxides), SO2 (sulfur dioxide), and TSPs (Total Suspended Particles). The Costa Rican industrial sector has different category companies such as glass melting and manufacturing of food products and clothing, which release emissions of these pollutants into the atmosphere. The main objective of this research is to generate a preliminary inventory of atmospheric emissions (NOx, SO2, and TSP) from different industrial sectors in Costa Rica. The inventory was conducted in 2019 and included samplings and measurements of pollutants from chimneys of different production processes (companies) from 2014 and 2015.  The sampling and the corresponding measurement of pollutant concentrations (NOx, SO2 and TSP) were conducted using Testo 350 to measure NOx and SO2 and an APEX portable particle counter to quantify TSPs. Data was tabulated using Microsoft Excel, while graphics were generated using R programming language in the R studio interface. The industrial sector entitled “manufacturing of food products” presents the highest amounts of pollutants, with values equal to 1246.14 tons/year, 1959.54 tons/year and 651.01 tons/year for NOx, SO2, and TSP, respectively, for 2014; and 2,622.14 tons/year, 3,257.64 tons/year and 346.40 tons/year, respectively, for 2015.
Reincorporación territorial para la construcción de paz. Hábitats autogestionados por excombatientes FARC-EP, Colombia
Authors: Bolaño-Peña Melissa , Mejía-Escalante. Mónica
Published: September 2020

Los Espacios Territoriales de Capacitación y Reincorporación (ETCR) como asentamientos para desmovilizados de las FARC-EP y su reintegración a la vida civil, en el marco del Acuerdo de Paz firmado en 2016 entre el gobierno de Colombia y este grupo insurgente, se destacan por la autogestión y autoconstrucción de estas villas del futuro por parte de los excombatientes como actores discretos, con diversos grados de consolidación espacial, desde una inteligencia colectiva que deviene de medio siglo de construir su hábitat en la selva. El estudio del caso del ETCR Las Colinas (San José del Guaviare, Guaviare), cotejado con documentos asociados al Acuerdo de Paz, permite establecer los elementos territoriales que posibilitan a los habitantes de estos asentamientos su reincorporación territorial a las comunidades receptoras. Se advierte que los excombatientes se enfrentan a una sensación de incertidumbre producto de la continua presión por parte de diversos actores para que los ETCR desaparezcan, lo que motiva a sus moradores a acelerar la producción de su hábitat en su interés por permanecer.

Published: September 2020

El artículo presenta una experiencia de gestión comunitaria del riesgo como parte de la construcción social barrial, sorteando el conflicto generado por la aplicación de lineamientos normativos para el ordenamiento territorial de Medellín (Colombia) y las condiciones geomorfológicas adversas de un contexto de ladera. Para esto, se aplicó una metodología de investigación-acción, estructurada desde escenarios participativos de educación popular con una comunidad barrial: El Pacífico, ubicado en la parte alta de la Comuna 8, ladera nororiental de Medellín. A partir de esta propuesta, se formuló un plan de gestión comunitaria del riesgo y prevención de desastres, contemplando la identificación de amenazas de orden socioterritorial, medidas de reducción de riesgo y un componente programático. Tomando estos resultados como referencia, se discuten las implicaciones de la gestión comunitaria de riesgos y su capacidad para reducir la brecha de las inequidades socioespaciales. Se concluye que la gestión comunitaria de riesgo de desastres, conjugada con la educación popular y la interacción entre academia, comunidad, organizaciones sociales e instituciones gubernamentales, puede fungir como práctica clave para la materialización de la justicia espacial y ambiental de la ciudad de Medellín.
La consolidación del Estado liberal y las investigaciones meteorológicas en Costa Rica (1887-1904)
Authors: Díaz Bolaños Ronald Eduardo
Published: September 2020

Resumen: En la Costa Rica de finales del siglo XIX se desarrolla un proceso de institucionalización de la Meteorología como ciencia, producto de la presencia de una activa comunidad científica y de un Estado nacional que se ha venido consolidando bajo el liberalismo. Este interés por la meteorología se encuentra asociado a la importancia que tiene el conocimiento de los fenómenos atmosféricos y de las condiciones climáticas presentes en un territorio cuya economía se basa en un modelo capitalista agroexportador. De esta forma, se funda un Observatorio Meteorológico en la ciudad de San José en 1887, entidad que centraliza las observaciones meteorológicas producidas en el país. Esta labor será continuada por el Instituto Meteorológico Nacional y el Instituto Físico-Geográfico Nacional en los años siguientes, instituciones que fueron dirigidas por el naturalista suizo Henri Pittier hasta su renuncia en 1904. La Sección Meteorológica del Instituto Físico-Geográfico logró el establecimiento de una red de información meteorológica gracias al apoyo de la United Fruit Company, con la instalación de varias estaciones pluviométricas en el enclave bananero de la región caribeña de Costa Rica.

Published: September 2020

Aim. To study conventional risk factors and arterial stiffness parameters to identify non-invasive markers of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with and without history of cardiovascular disease, with premature and physiological vascular aging.

Material and methods. The study included 198 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 57 healthy people. The subjects were divided into two cohorts: younger and older than 50 years. Each group included patients with newly diagnosed acute coronary syndrome with/without history of cardiovascular disease (CAD and/or hypertension). Conventional risk factors were analyzed in all subjects. Ultrasound radiofrequency of common carotid arteries (CCA), applanation tonometry, volume sphygmography were performed.

Results. Analysis of arterial parameters in individuals <50 years old revealed differences between healthy people and patients with CAD. In the

 subgroup of patients without a history of cardiovascular disease compared with healthy people, CCA were damaged in  77%  (p<0,05), aorta — in 13%, muscular arteries — in 29% (p<0,05); in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, in 71% (p<0,05), 5% and 34% (p<0,05), respectively. In the older age group of patients with and without history of cardiovascular disease, CCA were damaged in 84% and 94% (p<0,05), aorta — in 92% and 87% (p<0,05), muscular arteries — in 42-44% (p<0,05), respectively. According to the ROC analysis, in patients <50 years old, the area under the curve (AUC) for the intima-media thickness (IMT) was 0,830, the threshold — 622,3 (p=0,000); for the  beta  stiffness index — 0,850, threshold — 7,01 (p=0,002); for L-/CAVI1 — 0,742, threshold — 7,3 (p=0,000). In patients >50 years of age, AUC for the IMT was 0,948, threshold — 607,5 (p=0,000); for the beta stiffness index — 0,740, threshold — 8,84 (p=0,000); for L-/CAVI1 — 0,861, threshold — 8,4 (p=0,000).

Conclusion. Timely identification of atherosclerotic markers using noninvasive techniques can improve the prediction of cardiovascular events. A comprehensive non-invasive examination of the arteries with determination of IMT, beta stiffness index, and L-/CAVI1 will probably identify young people with an unfavorable absolute cardiovascular risk. .

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate, in Nursing students, the effect of clinical simulation as an educational strategy for learning about the cardiovascular physical examination. Methods: Quasi-experimental study, with the placement of 30 undergraduate nursing students, from a public university in Northeast Brazil, in two groups - intervention and control. The educational intervention consisted of a clinical simulation applied to the intervention group. The control group received only the usual class. Pre-test and post-test were applied with questions about cardiovascular physical examination for both groups. In the inferential analysis, we used chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables; and the Student’s t-test for independent samples. Results: The results showed that the difference in correct answers between the intervention and control groups was statistically significant, with a value of p of 0.05. Conclusion: We concluded that the applied educational strategy had a positive effect on undergraduate nursing students to learn the cardiovascular physical examination.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the HIV care continuum from the diagnosis in an HIV/AIDS Counseling and Testing Center (CTC), and the sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics related to gender. Method: Epidemiological study, conducted with data of individuals assisted at a Counseling and Testing Center, and followed in an outpatient clinic for HIV/AIDS. Pearson’s Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to obtain odds ratios, considering alpha value <0.05. Results: The prevalence of HIV among 5,229 users was 5%. The highest chance of positive results was among men, aged 14 to 33 years old, who were not in a domestic partnership. In the analysis of TCD4+ lymphocytes and viral load (VL) of 238 cases, 56.1% had a late diagnosis. We have identified gaps in the care cascade, especially linkage to the care, retention in care, and viral load suppression. Conclusion: The results suggest a late diagnosis for both genders, as well as difficulty in reaching the viral suppression goal.
“A igreja sou eu, é você, somos nós”: notas sobre a desinstitucionalização evangélica no Brasil a partir da observação da Comunidade Caminho da Graça
Authors: Santos Douglas Alessandro Souza , Martinez Elias David Morales
Published: September 2020

Resumo: Ao contrário do que previa a tese clássica da secularização, a religiosidade não combaliu. Na realidade, o que temos observado na contemporaneidade poderia ser definido como um caso de reconfiguração religiosa de características próprias. Dentre as mais diversas e significativas mudanças no cenário religioso brasileiro dos últimos anos, destaca-se a desinstitucionalização, incluindo a evangélica. Os evangélicos sem-igreja, termo usado para designar os que se encontram nesse processo, estão inseridos numa variável crescente. O presente artigo busca ponderar a respeito desses novos sujeitos religiosos, bem como estudar a relação entre o seu crescimento vinculado aos aspectos próprios do recente período histórico da modernidade radicalizada nele reverberados. Para tanto, toma a comunidade Caminho da Graça, liderada por Caio Fábio D’Araújo Filho, como principal caso de campo.
O divino no humano e o humano no divino: esboço de uma cosmologia cristã-pentecostal
Authors: Corrêa Diogo Silva
Published: September 2020

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão acerca da relação entre homem e divindade na cosmologia cristã-pentecostal. Com base em uma experiência etnográfica de quase dois anos junto a crentes pentecostais na Assembleia de Deus em Península (Adep), o texto, primeiro, explicita a interpretação que os crentes dessa igreja fazem do mito de origem do homem em Gênesis para, em seguida, mostrar a sua relação com a doutrina pentecostal dos “pequenos deuses”. O artigo termina por estabelecer um diálogo entre a cosmologia cristã-pentecostal e a rediscussão que a antropologia contemporânea tem feito acerca dos conceitos de animismo e de perspectivismo.

Resumo O método de avaliação aplicado foi o proposto por Silveira et al. (2019). A pesquisa buscou avaliar simulações dos modelos do Projeto Cordex para o domínio da América do Sul que fornecessem dados de precipitação em frequência mensal da família do experimento Historical para município de Fortaleza, Ceará. Foram encontrados quatro RCMs aninhados com dez GCMs totalizando dezesseis combinações denominadas aqui simplesmente por “modelos”. Para realizar a comparação foram utilizados dados observados da Estação Pici (338001) obtidos no Portal HidroWeb durante período de 1970 a 2005. O modelo regional ETA apresentou o melhor desempenho na representatividade do clima presente. A condução pelo modelo global CanESM2, segundo o índice AVALs, se apresentou como melhor simulação para o período avaliado com um CORREL de 0,96 e RMSE_PC de 3,01%. Ficou evidenciado a relação direta da ordem de classificação com espaçamento das grades, ou seja, quanto maior a resolução do modelo mais bem posicionado na classificação. Após a avaliação desses modelos, pesquisadores interessados em aplicar dados de modelagem em Fortaleza terão arcabouço científico para adotar modelos adequados em suas pesquisas. Em tese, os modelos que conseguem representar de forma adequada o clima presente, possivelmente também conseguirão representar o clima futuro.

Pollination service of Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees in strawberry
Authors: Silva Giuliana Ribeiro da , Pérez-Maluf Raquel , Ribeiro Generosa Sousa , Gusmão Ana Luiza de Jesus
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT Strawberry presents moderate dependence on bee pollination service, and pollination is related to the production and quality of fruits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pollination service provided by Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees in strawberry. Primary flowers of cultivar San Andreas were used in a completely randomized experimental design, with twelve replicates and five types of pollination: one N. testaceicornis visit (1V); two N. testaceicornis visits (2V); three N. testaceicornis visits (3V); natural pollination (NP); self-pollination (SP). In flowers visited by N. testaceicornis, movements and visit time were observed. The following fruit characteristics were evaluated: fruit biometry, fecundation rate of achenes, postharvest fruit quality, contribution of pollination agents and mechanisms on average fruit weight. In fruit biometry, pollination service contributed only in longitudinal length, which was higher in NP and 3V, compared to SP. In the different types of pollination, the fertilization rate of achenes did not differ and showed no effect on fresh fruit weight. In post-harvest fruit quality, 1V, 3V and NP showed better results regarding degree of deformation and marketability. Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees and natural pollination contributed to the average fresh weight of strawberry fruits. Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees and natural pollination provided improvement in quality and added value of fruits. Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees were effective strawberry pollinators.

WAGE FLEXIBILITY, EXCHANGE-RATE COMPETITIVENESS AND FULL EMPLOYMENT: THE FIRST HERETICS
Authors: G. Julio López
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT This paper discusses Keynes’ and Kalecki’s rejection of the notion that downward wage flexibility would ensure full employment, recollecting also Steindl’s stagnation theory, which extends to the long-run Kalecki’s ideas. It then considers the association between wage fall and currency depreciation and examines the Latin American contribution to the arguments of why currency devaluation may depress aggregate demand. Afterwards, it briefly reflects on the economic policy consequences that the authors studied here inferred from their analysis. It finally adds a succinct remark on the author’s empirical findings on this issue.
Diagnosis and treatment of mucocele in a pediatric patient: case report

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT Mucocele is a benign lesion, originating from disorders of minor salivary glands containing mucus. These lesions are found in children and young adults and usually occur due to local trauma. Clinically, it presents as a circumscribed, asymptomatic, soft and bluish or normocromic blister. The treatment of choice is surgical removal, when the lesion does not rupture naturally. This study aims to report a clinical case of mucocele in a pediatric patient removed through total surgical excision. A 7-year-old patient accompanied by mother sought care at the Dentistry Clinic of the “Tiradentes” University Center (UNIT / AL), with a main complaint of asymptomatic blister in the lower lip for about 15 days. In the anamnesis, the habit of biting in the region was reported. At clinical examination, a blister with clear limits of approximately 10 mm in diameter was observed in the lower lip mucosa, with slightly firm/fibrous consistency, which gave rise to doubts about the possible diagnosis, since it presented characteristics similar to that of a mucocele, although consistency at palpation indicates possible fibroma. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed; the material collected was fixed in 10% formalin and sent to histopathological examination that confirmed the diagnosis of mucocele. The patient was kept on follow-up, and there was no recurrence of the lesion. Surgical excision demonstrated an effective and prognostic therapeutic course, allowing accurate diagnosis through the histopathological evaluation of the lesion.

Abstract Interventions to reduce stigma related to people who use drugs can improve their quality of life and adherence to treatment. This review aimed to identify and analyze studies on interventions to reduce the stigma related to people who use drugs. Searches were performed in the following databases, without period delimitation: PubmMed, APA PsycNET, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and VHL. Considering secondary referencing, we identified a total of 5,488 records. This review covered 28 articles and was based on PRISMA. Although target audiences comprising students and health professionals were predominant, as well as the use of quantitative methods, sample size and interventions varied among studies. The selected studies present considerable methodological limitations. We concluded that no evidence confirms the effectiveness of the proposed interventions and which of them should continue to be applied for this specific aim. It is essential to invest in approaches other than those traditionally adopted.

ABSTRACT Populations of the soybean leaf blight pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA) are highly genetically differentiated along a latitudinal gradient in the major soybean growing regions of Brazil. However, the evolutionary processes leading to regional adaptation are still unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative importance of neutral genetic variation and natural selection on the divergence and regional adaptation of populations of the soybean-infecting pathogen R. solani AG-1 IA. Therefore, we compared the phenotypic differentiation in quantitative traits (QST) and the neutral genetic differentiation (FST, based on microsatellites data) among three pairs of populations. As measures of phenotypic responses of the fungus (quantitative traits), we estimated the tolerance to temperature stress and the tolerance to a broad-spectrum fungicide (copper oxychloride) under optimal (25 °C) and high temperature conditions (33.5 °C). In general there was an increase in genetic variance with a positive effect on the heritability for tolerance to copper fungicide under temperature stress. The genetic differences among populations were the main determinants of thermal adaptation in R. solani AG-1 IA (h2 > 0.70). The analysis of neutral genetic structure (FST) indicated subdivision between the three pairs of populations. Although population pairwise comparisons between FST and QST values did not follow a single pattern, the majority of QST values did not differ significantly from FST, indicating that, for the quantitative characters studied, neutrality (or neutral evolution) had a major role in the regional adaptation of R. solani AG-1 IA populations.

ABSTRACT The use of beneficial microorganisms in crop systems can contribute to sustainable agriculture by promoting improvements in crop development and grain yield without damaging the environment. However, there is much uncertainty surrounding the effects of using a combination of microorganisms to promote plant development. The objective of this work was to determine the effects of microorganism species individually and in combination on the biomass production, gas exchange and nutrient contents in the shoots and roots of soybean plants. The experimental design was completely randomized, with 30 treatments and three replicates. The treatments consisted of the application of the rhizobacteria BRM 32109, BRM 32110 and 1301 (Bacillussp.); BRM 32111 and BRM 32112 (Pseudomonas sp.); BRM 32113 (Burkholderia sp.); BRM 32114 (Serratia sp.); Ab-V5 (Azospirillum bras ilense) and 1381 (Azospirillum sp.); the fungus Trichoderma asperellum (a mixture of the isolates UFRA. T06, UFRA. T09, UFRA. T12 and UFRA. T52); 19 combinations of these microorganisms, and a control (no microorganisms). At sowing, the soil was treated with Bradyrhizobium, and then the soybean seeds were inoculated. The microorganism suspension was applied in each treatment at 7 days after planting (DAP) in the soil and at 21 DAP on the seedlings. The Trichoderma pool, Ab-V5, 1301 + 32110, 1301 + 32114, 1301 + Ab-V5 and 32110 + Ab-V5 treatments resulted in significantly higher total biomass accumulation in the soybean plants, with values that were, on average, 25% higher than that in the control treatment. Our results suggest that the use of beneficial microorganisms in cropping systems is a promising technique.

ABSTRACT Seeds of ‘sabiá’ (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth.) have coat dormancy, which hampers the absorption of water and oxygen, thereby delaying germination. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate methods for overcoming dormancy associated with priming on germination and vigor of seeds of ‘sabiá’, considering the efficiency, practicality and cost of treatment. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 4 x 5 factorial scheme (four methods for overcoming dormancy x five types of priming), constituting 20 treatments with four replicates of 25 seeds. The methods for overcoming dormancy used were tip removal, seed immersion in hot water at 100 °C for three minutes, immersion in sulfuric acid for 10 minutes and intact seeds. For the determination of physiological conditioning of seeds, the imbibition curve with the different priming agents was constructed. Priming was done on filter paper moistened with solutions of mannitol at the potentials of -0.2 MPa (16 hours), -0.4 MPa (24 hours) and -0.6 MPa (36 hours) and only with distilled water for the hydropriming (12 hours) and seeds without priming. The variables analyzed were first count of germination, germination, root length, shoot length and dry weight of seedlings. The data were subjected to analysis of variance by F test and Tukey test at 5% probability. The dormancy of M. caesalpiniifolia seeds should be overcome with the use of hot water (100 °C) for three minutes, without the need for priming.

ABSTRACT Estradiol benzoate (EB), estradiol cypionate (EC), and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) were evaluated as ovulation inducers for TAI of crossbred lactating cows. In experiment I (n = 45), the follicular dynamics was evaluated, while in experiment II (n = 171) the reproductive efficiency was evaluated. All females were submitted to a synchronization protocol: insertion on day 0 (D0) of intravaginal progesterone -release intravaginal device (PRID; 1g) plus administration of EB 2mg; D8, PRID removal, administration of 0.150mg PGF2α and 400 IU of eCG, and cows were allocated into three treatments: 1) TEB9 - IM administration of 1mg EB on D9 and AI performed 52 hours after PRID removal; 2) TEC - IM administration of 1mg EC on D8 and AI performed 48 hours after withdrawal of PRID; and 3) TGnRH - administration of 100pg GnRH on D10 and AI performed 52 hours after removal of PRID. The follicular growth rate was lower in the EC group (p <0.05). There was no effect of treatments on ovulation and pregnancy rates (p >0.05). The use of EB, EC, and GnRH as ovulation inducers in the TAI protocol did not show marked differences in the evaluated patterns of follicular dynamics and pregnancy.

Published: September 2020

Resumo O presente artigo aborda o imaginário jurídico brasileiro no início da República Velha tomando como chave-interpretativa a insurreição popular do Arraial de Canudos. Utilizando como metodologia de interpretação das fontes a relação entre imaginação e direito, a análise de elementos da cultura jurídica no período e dos escritos de Antônio Conselheiro revela indícios da permanência, às portas do século XX, de um imaginário jurídico de fortes tendências pré-modernas.
Instituições do poder local no Brasil e em Angola
Authors: Santin Janaína Rigo , Teixeira Carlos
Published: September 2020

Resumo Este artigo busca estudar as instituições angolanas de Poder Local, comparando-as com o que se tem a respeito do Poder Local no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. O Poder Local está explícito na Constituição angolana de 2010, e implícito no texto constitucional brasileiro, quando eleva o Município a ente federativo e estabelece formas participativas de exercício do poder político em âmbito local. Porém, não basta apenas o reconhecimento formal do Poder Local, é preciso desenvolver uma cultura participativa, ainda incipiente em ambos os países.
“Relações Perigosas”: Walter Benjamin e Carl Schmitt no crepúsculo de Weimar
Authors: Traverso Enzo
Published: September 2020

Resumo Enzo Traveso analisa a relação entre Walter Benjamin e Carl Schmitt no contexto da crise europeia dos anos 1930. Benjamin consagrou a Schmitt algumas passagens de seu livro sobre o drama barroco alemão (1928) e em 1930 escreveu a ele uma carta em que enfatizou suas afinidades com o teórico da ditadura e do decisionismo. Schmitt não respondeu a carta, mas a conservou e esta tornou-se a base de suas discussões com o filósofo judeu-alemão Jakob Taubes após a 2ª Guerra Mundial. Traverso sublinha a impossibilidade de diálogo entre a forma revolucionária do messianismo judaico defendido por Benjamin e a forma conservadora da Teologia Política elaborada por Schmitt. Ambos dividiam uma visão da história como uma catástrofe crescente e reivindicaram a necessidade de uma decisão política, mas suas terapias eram radicalmente opostas: Benjamin identificou o advir da era messiânica com a revolução proletária, enquanto Schmitt acolheu o nazismo como uma espécie de moderno katechon (o vencedor do Anticristo na tradição católica).
