O SENTIDO DA HESITAÇÃO NO CONTEXTO DA PÓS-VERDADE
Authors: Hardt Lúcia Schneider
Published: January 2018

Sempre estivemos excessivamente preocupados com a verdade. De início, verdades religiosas, depois científicas e hoje aquelas que necessariamente devem conferir com nossas convicções. Assim, a verdade aproxima-se também da mentira. Para todos os tempos, parece, precisamos reaprender o sentido da hesitação. Um sentido que evita a pressa, oferece ao tempo outra forma de fazer acontecer a vida, oferece aberturas, rachaduras, rasgos que merecem mais atenção para serem compreendidos. Hesitar, suspender, aguardar. Ruminar é necessário, precisamos reaprender a nos apresentar indagando, perguntando. O diálogo é a forma artística mais clássica da filosofia. Nietzsche retoma o diálogo como ferramenta filosófica não para fazer triunfar uma ideia, mas mostrar uma disposição para pensar, insinuar respostas. Reconhecer as sinuosidades de qualquer orientação. Enfim, a hesitação como expressão de uma outra formação humana.
 
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Hesitação; Formação; Diálogo.
 
 
ABSTRACT
We have always been overly concerned with the  concept  of truth. Initially religious truths, then scientific and currently those that must necessarily confer with our convictions. The the  concept of truth is thus close to the concept  of lie. In any historical time we need to relearn the sense of hesitation. A sense that avoids any haste, offers  another way of making life happen, offering openings, cracks, tears that deserve more attention in order to be understood. To hesitate, to suspend, to wait. Ruminating is necessary, since we need to relearn a way to present ourselves by asking, questioning. Dialogue is the most classic artistic form of philosophy. Nietzsche retakes the dialogue as a philosophical tool not to make an idea triumph, but to show a willingness to think, to insinuate answers. To recognize the windings of any orientation. Finally, hesitation is an expression of  a different human formation.
 
KEYWORDS: Hesitation; formation; dialogue. 
 
 
RESUMEN
Siempre hemos sido demasiado preocupado con la verdad. Inicialmente verdades religiosas, a continuación, científicas y en la actualidad los que deben conferir necesariamente con nuestras convicciones. La verdad se acerca a lo que la mentira. Para todos los tiempos, al parecer, hay que volver a aprender el sentido de vacilación. Un sentido de que evita las prisas, el tiempo ofrece otra manera de hacer que suceda la vida, ofrece aberturas, grietas, roturas que merecen más atención para ser entendido. Dude, suspender, espere. Ruminate es necesario, tenemos que volver a aprender a presentarnos pide, pide. El diálogo es la forma de arte clásico más de la filosofía. Nietzsche reanudar el diálogo como una herramienta filosófica no es ganar una idea, sino mostrar una voluntad de pensar, insinuar respuestas. Reconocer los meandros de cualquier orientación. De todos modos vacilación como una expresión de otra formación humana.

ÉTICA, DIREITO DE RESPOSTA E A ESTREIA DE LAURO JARDIM EM “O GLOBO”
Authors: Lemos Daniel Dantas
Published: January 2018

Este trabalho discute questões ético-morais do jornalismo brasileiro, a partir dos princípios deontológicos da ANJ, da ANER e da FENAJ, especialmente com relação ao exercício do direito de resposta. Para tanto, retomamos a discussão da questão ética no jornalismo a partir da dimensão da parresia e da coragem da verdade em Foucault (2011) e discutimos noções de ética como o estudo das relações entre os sujeitos sociais e os princípios morais. Destacamos a resistência que as associações empresariais (ANJ e ANER) têm ao direito de resposta e sua implicação sobre a imagem de personagens denunciados pela imprensa.  Por fim, analisamos o episódio da estreia do jornalista Lauro Jardim como colunista de “O Globo” e o fato de sua principal manchete em primeira página ter sido objeto de uma errata menos de um mês depois no mesmo espaço editorial.

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses ethical-moral issues in Brazilian journalism, based on the ethical principles of ANJ, ANER and FENAJ, especially regarding the exercise of the right of reply. For that, we return to the discussion of the ethical question in journalism from the dimension of parrhesia and the courage of truth in Foucault (2011) and we discuss notions of ethics as the study of the relations between social subjects and moral principles. We emphasize the resistance that the business associations (ANJ and ANER) have to the right of reply and their implication on the image of characters denounced by the press. Finally, we analyze the episode of the debut of the journalist Lauro Jardim as a columnist for "O Globo" and the fact that his main headline on the first page was errata less than a month later in the same editorial space.

NIILISMO REPAGINADO?
Authors: Miranda Cynthia Mara , De Sousa Sonielson Luciano
Published: January 2018

O corpo é objeto de disputa política, religiosa, artística e, mais recentemente, científica. Neste sentido, este ensaio trás uma linha histórica apontando como o tema é encarado, bem como delineando o conjunto de significados, mitos e interditos relacionados ao corpo. No processo, tendo por bases autores da filosofia e sociologia clássicas de diferentes épocas, aponta para a possibilidade de uma retomada do niilismo, na busca de um ideal de corpo. Isso porque, ao se utilizar de técnicas ascéticas, os sujeitos envoltos na dinâmica dão uma dimensão sagrada ao corpo, além de negar certos aspectos da vida, como a decrepitude e a impermanência, condições inalienáveis à dimensão humana. De acordo com a proposta do ensaio e baseado em diversos autores, o corpo volta a ocupar lugar central na sociedade – como já ocorreu na Grécia Clássica –, só que agora esvaziado de sua dimensão política e social.

ABSTRACT
The body is the object of political, religious, artistic and, more recently, scientific dispute. In this sense, this essay draws a historical line pointing out how the theme is viewed, as well as delineating the set of meanings, myths and interdicts related to the body. In the process, based on classical philosophical and sociological authors of different epochs, it points to the possibility of a resumption of nihilism in the search for an ideal of the body. This is because, when using ascetic techniques, the subjects involved in the dynamics give a sacred dimension to the body, besides denying certain aspects of life, such as decrepitude and impermanence, conditions inalienable to the human dimension. According to the proposal of the essay and based on several authors, the body returns to occupy central place in the society - as already occurred in Classical Greece -, but now emptied of its political and social dimension.

From the ‘Indignados Movement’ to power politics: a critical study of the theoretical underpinnings of ‘Podemos’
Authors: Zamora García, Javier
Published: January 2018

This paper was awarded the Gillian Rose Memorial Prize for Social and Political Thought 2015, awarded to the best essay produced by a candidate for the MA in Social and Political Thought at the University of Sussex. The following is a shortened version of the original dissertation. This paper argues that the theoretical foundations of Podemos are grounded in a series of premises that do not sufficiently challenge the political logic of liberal representative democracy. This forces the party to adopt a model that presents some similarities with what is encouraged by other realist theories of democracy such as Schumpeter’s or Down’s. As a result, the party has faced serious problems in escaping the competitive, hierarchical and efficacy-driven dynamic of a conception of politics that derives from an overemphasis on the goal of electoral victory.

Authors: Governa Paolo , Baini Giulia , Borgonetti Vittoria , Cettolin Giulia , Giachetti Daniela , Magnano Anna Rosa , Miraldi Elisabetta , Biagi Marco
Published: January 2018

Phytotherapy has long been a source of medicinal products and many attempts to use herbal medicine for the treatment of diabetes has been done over the years. Several medicinal plants and their preparations demonstrated to act in key points of glucidic metabolism. The most common mechanisms of action found include the inhibition of α-glucosidase and of AGE formation, the increase of GLUT-4 and PPARs expression and the antioxidant activity.Despite the large amount of literature available, the actual clinical effectiveness of medicinal plants in controlling diabetes related symptoms is still controversial and there is a crucial need for stronger evidence-based data. In this review, an overview of the medicinal plants, which use in the management of diabetes is supported by authoritative monograph, is provided. References to some species which are currently under growing clinical investigation are also reported.

Published: January 2018

Metal and alloy toughening was the core and long-term research direction in materials filed. As grain size had bimodal distribution, micro/nano-structured alloys presented excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, and this had become one of the research hotspots and developing trends in the field of nanotechnology. In-situ tensile test was a direct and effective method to study the deformation mechanism of materials, which revealed the multiple mechanisms responding to feature grain sizes and provided reliable experimental means and research technique. Research on development of in-situ technique and its applications in mechanical properties was reviewed in this paper according to the recent advances on the modern mechanical properties for high strength and high plasticity alloy at home and abroad. The disadvantages of the present study of preparation methods and investigation techniques for high-performance alloy had been concluded. Finally, the development prospects of high strength and high plasticity alloy materials were analyzed.

Published: January 2018

Preconception lifestyle modification and reducing several known risk factors may have an influence on the future pregnancy outcome. The aim of the study was to analyse health behaviour and personal values, as well as to assess the relationship of these factors in women without children, in pregnant ones and in women who had already delivered babies. The questionnaire survey included Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI), Personal Value List (PVL) and the sociodemographic data and was conducted in 538 women. These women were divided into 3 groups: women who recently delivered (n = 235), pregnant women (n = 121) and childless women (n = 182). Pregnant women demonstrated a significantly higher level of declared health behaviours and also they rated higher subscales values "positive mental attitude" and "health practices" in comparison to women who recently delivered and to childless women. In all tested groups the highest rated personal value was "a successful family life", while the most appreciated symbol of happiness was "love and friendship". Our results suggest that the system of values and the perception of happiness symbols may influence women's health behaviours. Positioning “health” in the hierarchy of personal values as the most important one may facilitate introduction of healthy behaviours. This in turn could reduce several adverse pregnancy outcomes that are potentially modifiable with changing preconception health attitudes. Our results also identify several unanswered questions and highlights areas where new research is needed.

Published: January 2018

To understand the health impacts of “hikikomori” lifestyle and to establish its first comprehensive health profile, a cross-sectional study was designed to measure how well the cases of hikikomori youths of Hong Kong were living, in terms of social, mental and physical aspects. This study involved 104 eligible participants at age 19.02 year-old who had completed the set of questionnaires and a series of anthropometric and physical health measurements. Despite SF36 score of 84.0 indicated good physical functioning in general, participants were lived sedentarily with high incidence of hypertension at 15.4% and prehypertension at 31.7%. Occurrence of hypertension in cases living as hikikomori >6 months was 3-times higher than those newly onset cases. The blood pressure levels were correlated with age and all obesity index parameters measured including waist circumference and body mass index. Half of the hypertensive cases involved the elevation of systolic blood pressure, which suggested higher odds of cardiovascular complications. Participants were mentally stable living with moderate levels of perceived stress and state anxiety, but borderline clinical depression. In conclusion, the hikikomori lifestyle could be a risk behavior that may harm the younger generation physically by promoting obesity and hypertension and probably other chronic illnesses.

Neurodegeneration and Sensorimotor Deficits in the Mouse Model of Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Bhowmick Saurav , D'Mello Veera , Ponery Nizmi , Abdul-Muneer P.M.
Published: January 2018

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in persistent sensorimotor and cognitive deficits, which occur through a cascade of deleterious pathophysiological events over time. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that neurodegeneration caused by TBI leads to impairments in sensorimotor function. TBI induces the activation of the caspase-3 enzyme, which triggers cell apoptosis in an in vivo model of fluid percussion injury (FPI). We analyzed caspase-3 mediated apoptosis by TUNEL staining and PARP and annexin V western blotting. We correlated the neurodegeneration with sensorimotor deficits by conducting the animal behavioral tests including grid walk, balance beam, inverted screen test, and climb test. Our study demonstrated that the excess cell death or neurodegeneration correlated with the neuronal dysfunction and sensorimotor impairments associated with TBI.

Published: January 2018

In this paper, we tackle air quality forecasting by using machine learning approaches to predict the hourly concentration of air pollutants (e.g., Ozone, PM2.5 and Sulfur Dioxide). Machine learning, as one of the most popular techniques, is able to efficiently train a model on big data by using large-scale optimization algorithms. Although there exists some works applying machine learning to air quality prediction, most of the prior studies are restricted to small scale data and simply train standard regression models (linear or non-linear) to predict the hourly air pollution concentration. In this work, we propose refined models to predict the hourly air pollution concentration based on meteorological data of previous days by formulating the prediction of 24 hours as a multi-task learning problem. It enables us to select a good model with different regularization techniques. We propose a useful regularization by enforcing the prediction models of consecutive hours to be close to each other, and compare with several typical regularizations for multi-task learning including standard Frobenius norm regularization, nuclear norm regularization, ℓ2,1 norm regularization. Our experiments show the proposed formulations and regularization achieve better performance than existing standard regression models and existing regularizations.

The objective is to study the local perceptions on the conservation of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in the Réserve Naturelle Communautaire de Dindéfélo (RNCD), southeast of Senegal, to design specific actions to improve conservation management. We conducted 338 semi-structured interviews in three main villages of RNCD. Three-fourths of the population were farmers. Of those interviewed, 29% received elementary education. Two of the three villages participated in a project to plant trees as fences. On average, 66% of the respondents were animists. Of the respondents who were afraid to see a chimpanzee, 68% answered because they attack. Seventy-seven percent washed their clothes in the forest river because there was more water than in the village wells. Of the interviewees who threw the old clothes into the forest, 50% did it due to tradition. Ninety-six percent of respondents stated that chimpanzees do not feed from their crops. The main problems of the locals with the Reserve were lack of water and basic resources and not been allow to cut trees in protected areas. There were significant relationships between education (1 relationship), environmental project (4 relationships) and animism (11 relationships) with local perceptions. The 93% of the respondents who had the traditional belief that “if the old clothes were burnt, children would become sick” feel fear of chimpanzees, while those who did not have this animistic belief the 6% are afraid (χ2 = 1.57, P < 0.02). These local perceptions allow us to design specific course of action to improve chimpanzee conservation and sustainable coexistence in this complex period of the Anthropocene.

Maintenance of intestinal barrier integrity is crucial for preventing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) onset and exacerbations. In this work we study the effect of a fixed combination of Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus acidophilus and herbal extracts in an in vitro inflammation experimental model. Caco-2 cell monolayer was exposed to INF-γ+TNF-α or to LPS; Trans Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) and paracellular permeability were investigated. ZO-1 and occludin tight junctions (TJs) were also investigated by mean of immunofluorescence. The pre-treatment with the fixed combination of probiotics and herbal extracts prevented the inflammation-induced TEER decrease, paracellular permeability increase and TJs translocation. In summary the fixed combination of probiotics and herbal extracts investigated in this research was found to be an interesting candidate for targeting the re-establishment of intestinal barrier function in IBDs conditions.

An understanding of the mechanism underlying fruit ripening is critical for fruit quality improvement. Although post-harvest ethylene application is known to enhance the onset of fruit ripening, exact mechanisms remain unclear. To characterize the fruit ripening process and mechanism, we investigated the effects of exposing kiwifruit cultivars ‘Hayward’ and ‘Gamrok’ to exogenous ethylene treatment post-harvest using comprehensive proteomic analyses. Comparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed that most of the proteins aggregated in ethylene-treated samples compared to the control (non-treated). We observed that among all ethylene treatments, 95 proteins from ‘Hayward’ and 106 from ‘Gamrok’ were differentially expressed. Interestingly, among the elicited protein successfully identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry, 50% from “Hayward’ and 60% from ‘Gamrok’ are associated with fruit ripening. Furthermore, 18% and 10% of proteins, respectively, are associated with defense response, whereas other major proteins are related to protein biosynthesis and photosynthesis/Calvin cycle. Interactions between identified proteins were demonstrated by bioinformatic analysis, providing insights into biological pathways and molecular functions in post-harvest kiwifruit ripening elicited by ethylene application. The present proteomic study in accordance with physiological analysis provides a quantitative evaluation of fruit ripening in response to exogenous ethylene in post-harvest kiwifruit.

Due to their strong immersion and real-time interactivity, helmet-mounted VR devices are becoming increasingly popular. Based on these devices, an immersive virtual geographic environment (VGE) provides a promising method for research into crowd behavior in an emergency. However, the current cheaper helmet-mounted VR devices are not popular enough and will continue to coexist with PC-based systems for a long time. Therefore, a heterogeneous distributed virtual geographic environment (HDVGE) could be a feasible solution to solve the heterogeneous problems caused by various types of clients, and support implementation of virtual crowd evacuation experiments, with large numbers of concurrent participants. In this study, we developed an HDVGE framework and put forward a set of design principles to define the similarities between the real world and the VGE. We discussed the HDVGE architecture and proposed an abstract interaction layer, a protocol-based interaction algorithm and an adjusted dead reckoning algorithm to solve the heterogeneous distributed problems. We then implemented an HDVGE prototype system focusing on subway fire evacuation experiments. Two types of clients are considered in the system, PC and all-in-one VR. Finally, we evaluated the performances of the prototype system and the key algorithms. The results showed that in a low-latency LAN environment, the prototype system can smoothly support 90 concurrent users consisting of PC and all-in-one VR clients. HDVGE could serve as a new means of obtaining observational data about individual and group behavior in support of human geography research.

When extract building from high resolution remote sensing image with meter/sub-meter accuracy, the shade of trees and interference of roads are the main factors of reducing the extraction accuracy. Proposed a Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks(BCNET) model base on standard fully convolutional networks(FCN) to solve these problems. First take building with no shade or artificial removal of shade as Sample-A, woodland as Sample-B, road as Sample-C. Set up 3 sample libraries. Learn these sample libraries respectively, get their own set of feature vector; Mixture Gauss model these feature vector set, evaluate the conditional probability density function of mixture of noise object and roofs; Improve the standard FCN from the 2 aspect:(1) Introduce atrous convolution. (2) Take conditional probability density function as the activation function of the last convolution. Carry out experiment using unmanned aerial vehicle(UVA) image, the results show that BCNET model can effectively eliminate the influence of trees and roads, the building extraction accuracy can reach 97%.

In Physics learning, misconception is often experienced by students, including on Dynamic Fluid materials namely Continuity Platform. This study aims to identify misconceptions that occur in the subject matter of the Continuity Platform and identify the concept's weakness as the cause of the misconception. The study was conducted on 37 students in one high school in Bandung with one shoot research method. The diagnosis of student misconceptions is done using a four-tier diagnostic test instrument which is the development of a three-tier test instrument by adding a confidence level to the third tier. The results of the diagnosis showed that students who experienced misconceptions of 28%, students who understand some 35%, students who understand the concept only 6%, students who do not understand the concept of 30% and students who cannot be coded 0%. Based on the results of the observation on the learning process and the analysis on the third and fourth tier answers, misconception that occurs is generally due to the student's inappropriate logic that students assume that the fluid has a large speed has a large fluid pressure, and fluid has a small speed has a small fluid pressure.
