Trânsito de africanos: circulação de pessoas, de saberes e experiências religiosas entre os Rios de Guiné e o arquipélago de Cabo Verde (séculos XV-XVII)
Authors: Horta José Silva
Published: April 2019

Este artigo trata de africanos que circularam entre os rios da Grande Senegâmbia e as ilhas de Cabo Verde, entre o final do século XV e o século XVII. Através de fragmentos de alguns percursos de vida registados nas escritas de viagem da época, procura-se indagar a que ponto essa circulação transformou social e culturalmente os homens e mulheres que, na costa guineense, usufruíam de um estatuto elevado. Em contrapartida, procura-se vislumbrar o modo como a sua presença marcou todos aqueles, africanos, europeus e luso-africanos, com quem interagiram nos espaços em que viveram. O trânsito de experiências religiosas será uma das dimensões exemplificadas. Nos estudos de caso em que se verificou um regresso de africanos livres à África continental, pretende-se reconstituir as condições e vicissitudes em que ele ocorreu.
José Martí e o liberalismo: a trajetória intelectual de um exilado cubano no México
Authors: Vieira Pinto Jorge Eschriqui
Published: April 2019

Este artigo apresenta as análises de José Martí sobre o projeto para a construção de um Estado-Nação elaborado pelos liberais, que é o resultado de um conjunto de idéias que surge e se desenvolve ao longo do século XIX no México. Dessa maneira, o intelectual cubano, desde os seus artigos jornalísticos escritos durante o período em que se exilou nesse país, entre 1875 e 1876, não somente deixou as suas impressões sobre vários aspectos do cotidiano mexicano, mas também refletiu sobre os alcances e os limites do projeto liberal no sentido de transformar essa realidade.
IMPACTOS CONCORRENCIAIS DA ENTRADA DOS MEDICAMENTOS GENÉRICOS NO MERCADO FARMACÊUTICO BRASILEIRO DE 2003 A 2007
Authors: Dantas Alexis Toríbio , Mendonça Pedro Alerrandro Saccol
Published: April 2019

Em 1999, o mercado de medicamentos genéricos foi criado no Brasil, iniciando-se, assim, uma nova fase do mercado farmacêutico brasileiro. Através de dados cedidos pela Anvisa sobre o mercado varejista brasileiro, objetiva-se testar até que ponto a política de medicamentos genéricos tem logrado êxito. Foram utilizados dados em painel para analisar o impacto da entrada dos medicamentos genéricos sobre a estrutura do mercado, assim como o impacto nos preços e na quantidade vendida entre 2003 e 2007. Os resultados foram favoráveis à diminuição da concentração dos mercados relevantes da amostragem e também ao aumento da quantidade comercializada. Em relação aos preços, o modelo se mostrou pouco significativo, provavelmente pela política de medicamentos genéricos ser um instrumento indireto de controle de preços.

Authors: Pessoa Sirlene Gomes , Pereira Benedito Dias , Carvalho Regina Célia
Published: April 2019

Com adoção da taxa interna de retorno (TIR) como metodologia de análise econômica, investiga-se a viabilidade econômica da produção de 200 hectares das espécies de eucalipto mais cultivadas em Mato Grosso (urograndis, citriodora e camaldulensis), com três finalidades: sequestro de carbono, cultivo de madeira para geração de energia e produção conjunta (sequestro de carbono e cultivo de madeira) em municípios localizados no cerrado do Estado. Os projetos exclusivamente para sequestro de carbono revelaram-se economicamente inviáveis, diferentemente dos destinados exclusivamente para cultivo de madeira para geração de energia, além dos projetos com produção conjunta em determinados municípios, que exibiram viabilidade econômica.
ON THE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY SHOCKS OVER LABOR INPUT AT BUSINESS-CYCLE FREQUENCIES: AN EMPIRICAL NOTE
Authors: Magalhães Matheus Albergaria de , Picchetti Paulo
Published: April 2019

In the last years, there has been a heated debate over the empirical adequacy of Real-Business-Cycle (RBC) models (GALÍ, 1999; CHRISTIANO; EICHENBAUM; VIGFUSSON, 2003; FRANCIS; RAMEY, 2005). In this empirical note, we check the robustness of some of the main results obtained in this strand of the literature. Our contribution is twofold: first, we provide robust results by using different data sources; second, we show that the results related to labor input’s dynamic pattern over business-cycle horizons are sensitive to the way labor input is modelled. The results obtained favor specifications where labor input is modelled as growth rates. These results may help distinguishing the most desirable empirical specifications to be employed over the debate in the future.
ANÁLISE DA EFETIVIDADE E DA RAZÃO ÓTIMA DO HEDGE DO BOI GORDO E DO CROSS-HEDGE DO BEZERRO NO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO (2001 A 2010)
Authors: Freitas Clailton Ataídes de , Alves William Bottega
Published: April 2019

O trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a efetividade de uma operação de hedge do boi gordo e de cross-hedge do bezerro no estado de São Paulo como forma de minimizar riscos, utilizando dados referentes ao período de 2001 a 2010. Para tanto, avaliou-se a possibilidade de utilização do mercado futuro da BM&F-Bovespa, através do uso de contratos futuros de boi gordo. Nesse sentido, foram estimados três modelos econométricos: o risco de base do preço para os criadores de boi gordo e de bezerro, a razão ótima de hedge e cross-hedge e a efetividade dos mesmos. Os resultados obtidos pelo primeiro modelo apontaram um risco muito mais elevado para o bezerro vis-à-vis ao do boi gordo. Quanto ao segundo modelo, verificou-se uma razão hedge elevada do boi gordo e uma extremamente baixa para o bezerro. Já para a efetividade, obteve-se um percentual de proteção considerado bom em relação ao boi gordo e baixo para o bezerro.
TESTANDO AS IMPLICAÇÕES DO MODELO INTERTEMPORAL DA CONTA-CORRENTE PARA O BRASIL: 1947-2010
Authors: Carrasco-Gutierrez Carlos Enrique , Oliveira Lucio Hellery Holanda
Published: April 2019

De acordo com a abordagem intertemporal, uma das maneiras mais importantes para a descrição da dinâmica internacional de capitais é a conta-corrente. Este artigo aplica para dados brasileiros a técnica econométrica desenvolvida por Campbell (1987) e Campbell e Shiller (1987) para testar o modelo intertemporal da conta-corrente para o período de 1947 até 2010. Comparam-se os resultados obtidos neste trabalho com outros apresentados para a economia brasileira de forma a estabelecer a robustez do modelo para diferentes períodos. Os resultados obtidos corroboram alguns fatos estilizados apresentados na literatura e mostram que nem todas as proposições básicas testáveis do modelo intertemporal da conta-corrente foram confirmadas. Contudo, uma análise menos formal sugere um elevado grau de mobilidade de capitais e fluxos significativos de capitais especulativos, pois a série de conta-corrente ótima mostrou-se menos volátil que a série observada no período.
STATIC VERSUS DYNAMIC DEA IN FEDERAL HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS - IFES
Authors: Costa Edward Martins , Ramos Francisco De Sousa , Souza Hermíno Ramos de
Published: April 2019

The present study aims to analyze intertemporal changes in productivity at Federal Higher Education Institutions (IFES) from 2004 to 2008. It examines efficient frontiers from each year using slacks-based (SBM-DEA) and dynamic slacks-based measures (DSBM) for data envelopment analysis (DEA). The total set of IFES was divided into two subsets (group A and group B) in order to minimize heterogeneity in the sector. Estimation results show that static frontiers for both groups underestimate the institution efficiency during the study period, indicating that intertemporal frontiers are more accurate when calculating efficiency since they consider a variable link between the inputs and outputs intertemporally.
MOEDA E ACUMULAÇÃO DE CAPITAL: KEYNES, ROBERTSON E O CONCEITO DE POUPANÇA
Authors: Meyrelles Filho Sérgio Fornazier , Arthmar Rogério
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo busca recuperar os elementos centrais das concepções sobre a poupança formuladas por Keynes e Robertson nas décadas de 1920 e 1930. Aseção inicial descreve a parceria entre ambos os economistas ao início do período, bem como as suas respectivas teorias a respeito do comportamento dos diferentes tipos de poupança, particularmente as de natureza compulsória, ao longo dos ciclos de acumulação de capital. Em seguida, revisita-se o princípio da demanda efetiva e a teoria do multiplicador, conforme desenvolvidos na Teoria geral do emprego, do juro e da moeda, de modo a identificar os seus pontos de distanciamento relativamente à análise associada à doutrina da poupança forçada. Após, a atenção volta-se às críticas de Robertson ao mecanismo do multiplicador de renda. Finalizando, discute-se o contra-argumento de Keynes, o qual envolveu a modificação nos determinantes da demanda por moeda mediante a incorporação do conceito de meios financeiros em sua teoria do investimento. Na conclusão, procede-se a um sumário dos pontos em debate, apontando-se suas principais implicações teóricas.
INSEGURANÇA JURÍDICA DO DEVEDOR: PELA AMPLIAÇÃO DO DEBATE SOBRE SELEÇÃO ADVERSA E CUSTO DO CRÉDITO NO BRASIL
Authors: Yeung Luciana Luk-Tai , Silva Ana Lúcia Pinto da , Carvalho Carlos Eduardo
Published: April 2019

O artigo defende que a insegurança jurídica no crédito afeta também o devedor. O debate econômico brasileiro praticamente ignora problemas dos tomadores de crédito diante de procedimentos desleais e oportunistas dos credores. Para a teoria econômica dos contratos, o credor é a parte favorecida pela assimetria de informações sobre o mercado e sobre o contrato, e o agente da lei deve atuar de forma a corrigir esse desequilíbrio. A análise de 1.687 decisões do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, de 1998 a 2008, não revela viés anticredor nesse nível do Judiciário. O trabalho propõe a inclusão da insegurança jurídica do devedor no modelo de racionamento de crédito.
FLUXOS DESIGUAIS DO SISTEMA FINANCEIRO E INOVATIVO: UMA ANÁLISE DAS ASSIMETRIAS ENTRE PAÍSES RICOS E POBRES
Authors: Alves Frederick Fagundes , Toyoshima Silvia Harumi , Torres Daniela Almeida Raposo
Published: April 2019

Este artigo objetiva identificar a relação entre o sistema financeiro e o sistema de inovação e preencher uma lacuna que há na literatura sobre financiamento do progresso tecnológico. A partir de uma análise empírica em painel para dois grupos de países (de maiores e menores PIB per capita), no período entre 1980 e 2010, verifica-se a existência de uma relação de causalidade entre a variável financeira e a variável tecnológica para o caso dos países desenvolvidos. Já para os países menos desenvolvidos observa-se a ausência de causalidade de longo prazo entre o sistema financeiro e o tecnológico. Conclui-se que há necessidade de adoção de políticas de estímulo ao desenvolvimento tanto do sistema financeiro doméstico quanto do sistema nacional de inovação nas economias mais pobres, visando elevar sua taxa de crescimento de maneira sustentada.
PREFERÊNCIAS ASSIMÉTRICAS VARIANTES NO TEMPO NA FUNÇÃO PERDA DO BANCO CENTRAL DO BRASIL
Authors: Lopes Kennedy Carvalho , Bejarano Aragón Edilean Kleber
Published: April 2019

Este trabalho estima uma função de reação forward-looking com parâmetros variando no tempo para examinar mudanças nos coeficientes medindo assimetrias nas preferências do Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), bem como verificar não linearidades na regra monetária decorrentes da convexidade da curva de Phillips. Para considerar o problema de endogeneidade dos regressores, utiliza-se o procedimento de estimação em dois passos proposto por Kim (2006) e Kim e Nelson (2006). Os resultados indicam que: a) a reação da taxa Selic à interação entre o desvio da inflação e o hiato do produto não é estatisticamente diferente de zero, sugerindo que a resposta não linear do BCB à inflação e/ou hiato do produto não decorre da convexidade da curva de Phillips; b) o BCB apresenta, em geral, uma preferência assimétrica em favor de uma inflação acima da meta no período 2002-2005; c) o coeficiente medindo a preferência assimétrica com relação ao hiato do produto apresenta uma tendência decrescente, mas não é estatisticamente significante.

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUNDBenign vascular lesions of the skin, hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas are quite common in pediatric patients, which are complicated with bleeding in 7.5% of cases.

MATERIAL AND METHODSIn 2016–2018, 17 children with cavernous hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas complicated with bleeding were operated on an emergency basis at the Research Institute of Emergency Children’s Surgery and Traumatology. Surgical intervention for all patients was performed using the method of interstitial selective laser photodestruction developed by the RIECST, which took out the utility patent. This method was implemented using two wave laser surgical device IPG “IRE-Polus” (Russia), generating two wavelengths of laser radiation of 0.97 μm and 1.56 μm.

RESULTSThe analysis of the long-term results of treatment in 17 pediatric patients who were operated on an emergency basis for hemangioma and pyogenic granuloma complicated by bleeding showed that all 17 patients (100%) had a good clinical and aesthetic result. The method of interstitial selective laser photodestruction provided a radical removal with guaranteed hemostasis of the indicated benign vascular lesions of the skin complicated with bleeding illustrate the effectiveness of this method in clinical practice, as well as the possibility of its use in inpatient and outpatient conditions.

CONCLUSIONTo prevent the large blood loss in hemangiomas complicated by bleeding and pyogenic granulomas of the skin in children, emergency surgical treatment has been performed using interstitial selective laser photodestruction. This method ensures the radical photodestruction of tissues of a pathological vascular formation and reliable hemostasis, which guarantees the achievement of a good clinical and aesthetic result of treatment in inpatient and outpatient conditions in all cases.

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease is one of the main causes of the population’s disability and mortality in Russia and abroad. Revascularization with coronary stents in the course of the most suitable drug therapy is one of the most important treatments of coronary heart disease. It is essential to pay special attention to the research results of using modern stents, in particular, the frst Russian drug-eluting stent “CALYPSO”.

AIM OF STUDY To study immediate and medium-term results of Limus-eluting stents procedure in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

MATERIAL AND METHODS 304 patients with acute coronary syndrome were included into the research and were divided into 2 groups. The frst group consisted of 156 patients with CALYPSO stent (Angioline, Russia). The other group consisted of 148 patients who had undergone revascularization with the XIENCE stent (Abbot Vascular, USA). Their health state was monitored via phone 3, 6, 9 and 12 months later. After the discharge from the hospital, the drug therapy was prescribed, and instrumental procedures of diagnostics were planned for the period of 9–12 months. According to the results of the examination, patients with suspected or confrmed myocardial ischemia underwent follow-up coronary angiography.

RESULTS The success of implantation was 98.63% in the frst group, and 99.4% in the second group. One fatal outcome occurred in both groups during hospitalization (thus making 0.64% и 0.67%). The placement of the CALYPSO stent in distal parts of coronary arteries requested signifcantly less time and contrast. Medium-term results of stenting in both groups appeared to be comparable (thus, all cause death 3 (1.92%) and 2 (1.35%), restenosis >50% 3 (1.92%) and 3 (2 %), late thrombosis — 0 in both groups, cardiac death — 0 in both groups. End points (MACE) in both groups were 1.28% and 0.67%.

CONCLUSION Taking into consideration immediate and medium-term results it can be concluded that domestic stents (CALYPSO) are comparable to stents XIENCE. The CALYPSO stent is more advantageous than the XIENCE in the delivery to the lesion focus while performing the procedure in distal ﬂow.

As ameaças ao setor de saúde brasileiro
Authors: Osaki Milton M
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo pretende apresentar algumas dificuldades atuais e previstas do setor de saúde do nosso país que exigem atenção para garantir o bem-estar dos cidadãos.Os gastos com a assistência à saúde no Brasil atualmente atingem cerca de 9% do PIB. Porém, o crescimento dos gastos preocupa pela velocidade com que ocorre. Caso os gastos continuarem evoluindo com a mesma taxa destes últimos anos, poderão chegar a representar 20 a 25% do PIB em 2030, dificultando o custeio da assistência à saúde.Para o contingenciamento dos custos, o aperfeiçoamento e consolidação dos modelos de atenção aos idosos é necessidade prioritária pelo perfil de envelhecimento da população. Investir em saneamento básico é fundamental para a contenção dos custos de assistência às doenças infectocontagiosas. É importante a conscientização da população quanto à prevenção de doenças para minimizar gastos assistenciais. Do lado governamental, o investimento e melhoria das ações de promoção à saúde é necessidade urgente para o mesmo fim. Nosso país necessita ainda trabalhar ferramentas de gestão, como a integração de dados do paciente, utilizar tecnologias e incorporar inovações para a melhoria do setor de saúde brasileiro.Porém, investir na melhoria da governança é indubitavelmente a maior necessidade para assegurar a melhoria e viabilidade do setor.Palavras-chave: Sistema Único de Saúde; Demografia; Políticas, Planejamento e Administração em Saúde; Governança  ABSTRACTThe present article intends to present some current and foreseen difficulties of the Brazilian health sector that demand attention to guarantee the well-being of the citizens.Expenditures on health care in Brazil currently reach around 9% of GDP. But spending growth worries about the speed with which it occurs. If expenditures continue to evolve at the same rate in recent years, they may account for 20-25% of GDP by 2030, making it difficult to afford health care costs.For the cost contingency, the improvement and consolidation of care models for the elderly is a priority need due to the aging profile of the population. Investing in basic sanitation is essential to contain the costs of assisting infectious diseases. It is important to educate the population about disease prevention to minimize care expenses. On the government side, investment and improvement of health promotion actions is an urgent need for the same purpose. Our country still needs to work on management tools, such as integrating patient data, using technologies and incorporating innovations to improve the Brazilian health sector.However, investing in improving governance is undoubtedly the greatest need to ensure the improvement and viability of the sector.Keywords: Unified Health System; Demography; Health Policy, Planning and Management; Governance

Abstract. This study aims to audit and evaluate the Dispendukcapil e-Government services in Pamekasan Regency using COBIT 5 Framework. The audit was conducted at the Dispendukcapil Office of Pamekasan Regency. The samples are four Districts and twelve Sub-districts / Villages that were considered quite representative. .The results show that overall capability audit results of the level of ICT services in the Pamekasan District Dispendukcapil are at level 3 (Establish) meaning that the process of ICT services has been implemented according to the existing ICT service standards. The detailed index value of the capability level of each domain is the BAI 2.85 domain (Established), DSS 2.50 domain (Established) and MEA domain 2.83 (Established). Field findings show that business processes in ICT governance of e-government services at the sub-district, village and village levels are at an incomplete level, meaning there is virtually no ICT governance process at that level. The need of fuller more authority on governance is suggested and recommended to be done at the sub-district and village / kelurahan levels by adding competent human resources in the ICT field to provide better e-government services.Keywords:E-Government, Capability Level, COBIT 5.0Abstrak.

Published: April 2019

The Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized by many technologies, standards, tools and devices for a wide range of application fields and often, for the end-users (makers and developers), is hard to orientate in an equally wide range of offers from various manufacturers. In recent years, the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocol is achieving a large portion of the market, thanks to its low-power and low-cost orientation and its pervasiveness in mobile devices, like smartphones. For these reasons, BLE is increasingly used in IoT-oriented Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN), where a small set of devices arranged in star topology network and connected to a smartphone and a Wi-Fi gateway, can cover a large number of monitoring and controlling use case scenarios. This work presents the ST’s STM32 Open Development Environment (ODE), a complete suite of hardware and software tools representing a reference point for end-users willing to create BLE-based star topology networks for a wide range of applications. Through a simple use case in a smart home context, it is shown how all provided tools can be used to fast prototype applications addressing all user requirements.

�Latar belakang dari penelitian ini adalah kurang terlatihnya kemampuan argumentasi siswa, hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya pengetahuan guru tentang model-model pembelajaran yang dapat melatih kemampuan berargumentasi. Pemilihan model pembelajaran yang tepat akan berpengaruh terhadap kualitas pembelajaran yang berimplikasi pada kemampuan berargumentasi siswa. Salah satu model yang menjadi alternatif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berargumentasi adalah model pembelajaran Argument-Driven Inquiry(ADI). Keterampilan berargumentasi berperan penting dalam membangun suatu eksplanasi, model dan teori dari suatu konsep yang dipelajari, dengan melatih keterampilan berargumentasi berarti melatih kemampuan kognitif dan afektif yang dapat digunakan untuk membantu memahami konsep-konsep dalam biologi.� Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berargumentasi siswa di SMA. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental. Penelitian ini dirancang dengan menggunakan desain Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas XI IPA di SMA Negeri 1 Ciawigebang tahun pelajaran 2015/2016 sebanyak 9 kelas. Pengambilan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling.

Healthcare Workers' Perceptions of Services at the Swaziland Wellness Centre

The healthcare workforce in southern Africa is diminished by unprecedented morbidity and mortality as a result of the HIV pandemic. Healthcare workers (HCWs) have been hesitant to access care where facility staff may be unprofessional, stigmatising, or breaching client confidentiality. The Wellness Centre for Health Care Workers opened in 2006 to enhance the health and well-being of HCWs in the Kingdom of Swaziland. The Centre’s nurse-managed model of care – the first of its kind in Africa – delivers HIV and tuberculosis prevention and treatment services through a primary care, community-based clinic. Our mixed-methods study evaluated the first 10 years of the Centre’s operation; a medical record review was complemented with 23 HCW client interviews. This article reports on the qualitative component in which HCWs described their experiences of receiving services at the Centre. The Centre’s service delivery was described as acceptable by HCWs receiving care for physical and psychological conditions. Clients with HIV described a supportive and inspiring environment that lacked the stigma and mistreatment that clients had experienced in other health facilities. Nurses were well-trained, trustworthy clinicians who engaged with their clients in a compassionate manner. The Centre’s unique outreach is effective in engaging HCW clients and their family members in primary care and HIV services. The Centre’s approach may serve as a model for similar nurse-managed clinics in Africa. It is recommended that nurses caring for HCW clients be respectful, communicative, and competent clinicians. Assuring privacy and confidentiality for HCW clients may increase enrolment and retention of clients in care.
Skills Gap among Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare Professionals in Cameroon
Authors: Nkwenti Michael N. , Abeywardena Ishan Sudeera
Published: April 2019

Over the last 10 years, the state of sexual and reproductive health in Cameroon has been challenging with rising levels of sexually transmitted diseases, the high fertility rate, and high infant and maternal mortality rates. Some researchers attributed these challenges to the limited number and quality of sexual and reproductive health personnel working in health facilities across the country. The North West Region of Cameroon was taken as a unit of study to probe into the skills gap among sexual and reproductive health practitioners. A total of nÂ =Â 302 participants at a confidence interval of 95Â per cent were selected using a stratified random sampling technique to take part in the study. The results indicated that a good number of them have no prior experience in the field of sexual and reproductive health. On the other hand, most of the practitionersâ€™ skills level is situated between intermediate and competent with very few of them being at the expert skills level. It was therefore recommended that most of the participants needs improvement in (i)Â computer or information technology skills; (ii)Â research skills; and (iii)Â leadership development of the specialty. These areas need to be dealt with, as a matter of priority, through training and professional development to enable these professionals to deliver better service in the sexual and reproductive healthcare sector. It was also recommended that, in line with the critical role that sexual and reproductive health practitioners play in Cameroonâ€™s health system, the Ministry of Public Health and other role players in the health sector make sufficient investments in the improvement of the health workforceâ€™s accessibility to information and communication technology.
Le psaume 18
Authors: Meynet, S.I. Roland
Published: April 2019

Le Ps 18 est le troisième plus long du Psautier. Son importance toutefois n’est pas seulement due à sa longueur; elle tient aussi et surtout au fait que ce psaume remplit une fonction conclusive: de même en effet que son double se trouve à la fin des livres de Samuel (2S 22), ainsi le Ps 18 conclut la première sous-section du premier livre des psaumes (Ps 1–18). Son titre, particulièrement développé, le laisse entendre: «au jour où Yhwh le délivra de la paume de tous ses ennemis et de la main de Saül». Le poème comprend sept passages organisés de manière concentrique autour d’une déclaration d’innocence (v. 21-30) qui ne laisse pas de poser problème. Prétendre que ces versets sont secondaires ne saurait lever la difficulté; cela ne fait, en réalité, que témoigner de l’impuissance à résoudre l’énigme que constitue toujours le centre d’une composition concentrique. La clé n’est pas cachée, elle offerte dans la formule qui marque le tournant du texte: «Avec le fidèle tu es fidèle» (v. 26).
Egzegeza i interpretacja Łk 16 na podstawie metodologii wypracowanej przez retorykę semicką
Authors: Skorupa Lucyna Anna
Published: April 2019

The focus of this thesis is an exegesis and interpretation of Luke 16 based on the methodology developed by Hebrew Rhetoric. The assumed goal has been achieved.The conducted analysis was described in three interrelated chapters. The first chapter was dedicated to the composition of the text. This stage of work consists of delimitation which has allowed to separate Luke 16 as one unit and present its context. Luke 16 includes three interrelated passages. Their detailed segmentation was provided in the second paragraph. The final stage was a holistic view of the examined sequence, which justified its symmetrical-concentric structure.In the second chapter, intertextual analysis of particular expressions significant for the interpretation of the pericopes included in the sequences, was carried out. At this stage, connection between units was revealed, what in the next chapter allowed to describe relations and explain the previously established compositional figure AXA’.Developed interpretation of particular passages has been a starting point for deeper analysis, in which parallel units were interpreted, what let to draw theological conclusions. It has been shown that cognition, in the biblical sense, is a first stage leading to full commitment. Only the person who really experienced the closeness of Jesus is able to risk using all possible means to enter kingdom of God. It is possible only by showing mercy and making use of worldly possessions. Undivided heart commited to serving God requires creative love of neighbour.
