Pseudo-Hegesippus at Antioch? Testing a Hypothesis for the Provenance of the De Excidio Hierosolymitano
Authors: Carson Bay
Published: May 2019

A significant proportion of the meager scholarship that treats Pseudo-Hegesippus, or De Excidio Hierosolymitano, has been spent arguing about whether or not Ambrose was the author of the work. Part and parcel of this argument has been the implicit or explicit location of the text’s provenance in Rome. However, there are very good reasons for believing that the text, or the text’s author, hailed from Antioch in Syria instead; at the very least he held some significant attachment to that city. Here I argue that the text of De Excidio suggests for itself an Antiochene author. By presenting together a series of evidence that suggests an Antiochene provenance for De Excidio, I submit that scholarship should at least retain the possibility that De Excidio is a product of Antioch (or an Antiochene), as this is a more likely provenance than Rome.

The Old Syriac Versions of the Gospels. A Status Quaestionis (From 1842 to the Present Day)
Authors: Haelewyck Jean-Claude
Published: May 2019

After having presented the manuscripts of the Old Syriac version of the Gospels and the editions of the witnesses (Sinaiticus, Curetonian, and the newly discovered Sinaitic palimpsests), this article demonstrates in what respect all these witnesses are reflections of a single translation. It then goes on to deal with the thorny question of its date and its milieu of origin, going through the various arguments that have been made: the historical arguments, the analysis of quotations of the Old Syriac, the study of the relationship with the other versions (Old Testament Peshitta and the Diatessaron) and the analysis of its language and its “linguistic anomalies.” The last part of the article is devoted to the relationship between the Old Syriac and the Greek text of the Gospels. Although today most scholars agree that it is hazardous to try and provide a retroversion into Greek, it is however possible, under certain conditions, to identify the Greek text type which served as a model. Despite its proper readings and its contacts with the Alexandrian and Caesarean texts, the Old Syriac is in part a witness to the Western text type.

La protesta estudiantil Argentina a un siglo del “grito de Córdoba” : una aproximación a su fenomenología.
Authors: Castro Riaño Luis Carlos
Published: May 2019

En la Argentina, la reforma universitaria de 1918 representa el momento a partir del cual el estudiantado se configura como sujeto político. Desde entonces, el accionar de este sector ha sido continuo, salvo algunos lapsos, y hoy por hoy hace parte del acervo cultural de la vida universitaria nacional. En este artículo de investigación se analizan los hechos en los que se ha materializado, revisando su devenir y analizando las tramas que lo insuflan. Para ello, se realiza, a través de una metodología cualitativa, un recorrido que avanza desde sus primeros atisbos hasta nuestros días, observando su cómo y su porqué mediante el uso de categorías que aluden a la estructura, a la identidad y, en particular, al componente cultural de la cuestión en tanto fenómeno social. El objetivo, a propósito de la conmemoración de aquel hito, es elaborar un mapa de la trayectoria de la protesta estudiantil en el país austral y de las dinámicas que intervienen en su constitución para implementar enclaves analíticos poco usuales en la literatura local que la aborda.
La función social de la actividad humana en Gabriel García Márquez.
Authors: Machado Pardo Ligia Estela
Published: May 2019

En este artículo de investigación son analizadas, mediante una metodología cualitativa, algunas ideas esenciales de García Márquez, a partir de su desempeño como periodista y escritor, en relación con sus reflexiones antropológicas sobre la función social de la actividad humana. El objetivo es destacar en su concepción su optimismo epistemológico y axiológico, pero esencialmente político y social referido a lo que cada hombre debe contribuir a la sociedad en beneficio de la perfectible condición humana, especialmente a través de la educación y la cultura. En toda su obra intelectual y política es evidente su compromiso orgánico por luchar por una sociedad superior en la que se dignifiquen a los pueblos latinoamericanos.
Las negociaciones de paz entre la gran Colombia y España : esperanzas y desencantos de un referente latinoamericano de reconciliación.
Authors: Pita Pico Roger
Published: May 2019

En el marco de la conmemoración del Bicentenario de la Independencia de Colombia y de las reflexiones actuales en torno al tema del posconflicto, el propósito de este artículo de investigación se enfoca en analizar, mediante una metodología cualitativa, los acercamientos realizados entre 1820 y 1822 por el Gobierno de la Gran Colombia con miras a firmar un tratado de paz con España luego de suscrito el armisticio de Trujillo, con el cual se pusiera fin a las guerras de Independencia. No hay duda de que el Gobierno republicano, a pesar de sus vacilaciones, fue mucho más insistente en su proyecto de paz, para lo cual desplegó no una sino varias propuestas, algunas de ellas ciertamente generosas. En contraste, España se empecinó en una actitud intransigente, mostrándose todavía reacia a aceptar una nueva realidad política, lo que en últimas le acarreó la pérdida de los dominios americanos. A pesar de las dificultades, estos intentos de reconciliación constituyeron un referente de reconciliación latinoamericana ante el mundo.
“Ir y quedar, y con quedar partirse” : breve análisis del fenómeno migratorio en España.
Authors: Scocozza Giovanna , Sagnella Angela
Published: May 2019

El presente artículo de investivestigación pretende recorrer mediante una metodología cualitativa el fenómeno de la migración en España, destacando, a través de una mirada diacrónica, las etapas principales de un proceso que, hoy en día, ha invertido sus tendencias iniciales. De hecho, si por un lado la península ibérica ha sido un lugar de salidas hacia las colonias de Ámérica, y de separaciones forzadas dictadas por la distonía política, por el otro —en tiempos más recientes— se ha convertido en un lugar de llegada para miles de nuevos migrantes. En otras palabras, la famosa «emigración en masa» ha dejado cada vez más espacio para una narrativa de inmigración y acogida. ¿Cómo se produjo esta metamorfosis? ¿Y en qué marco socio-jurídico se ha realizado dicha transformación? A estas preguntas tratará de responder el artículo aquí presentado, en el intento de vislumbrar nuevos horizontes de reflexión acerca del fenómeno migratorio en España.

Nacjonalizm polski w optyce niemieckiej lat trzydziestych XX w.
Authors: Stachowiak Paweł
Published: May 2019

Niemieckie zainteresowanie polskim nacjonalizmem było w latach trzydziestych niewielkie. Więcej miejsca i uwagi poświęcały mu jedynie czasopisma i wydawnictwa zajmujące się szczególnie problematyką wschodnioeuropejską. Niemal całkowicie pomijały oficjalne źródła NSDAP. Problem relacji między polskim nacjonalizmem a faszyzmem i narodowym socjalizmem stał się przedmiotem refleksji naukowej. Niestety jak dotąd nie dokonano podobnej analizy biorąc jako punkt wyjścia Niemcy ówczesnej epoki. Warto zadać pytanie, czy również tam, w publicystyce, w publikacjach naukowych, rozwój polskiego nacjonalizmu wzbudzał zainteresowanie? Jak postrzegali swych polskich ideowych pobratymców zwolennicy ruchu nazistowskiego, jak odnosili się do nich publicyści i naukowcy proweniencji nienazistowskiej? Zadaniem niniejszego tekstu jest próba takiego uzupełnienia stanu badań nad dziejami wzajemnych odniesień nacjonalizmów w Polsce i Niemczech.

In the big data era, conventional bioinformatics seems to fail in managing the full extent of the available genomic information. The current study is focused on olive tree species and the collection and analysis of genetic and genomic data, which are fragmented in various depositories. Extra virgin olive oil is classified as a medical food, due to nutraceutical benefits and its protective properties against cancer, cardiovascular diseases, age-related diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and many other diseases. Extensive studies have reported the benefits of olive oil on human health. However, available data at the nucleotide sequence level are highly unstructured. Towards this aim, we describe an in-silico approach that combines methods from data mining and machine learning pipelines to ontology classification and semantic annotation. Fusing and analysing all available olive tree data is a step of uttermost importance in classifying and characterising the various cultivars, towards a comprehensive approach under the context of food safety and public health.
Ordinary and Markov-Switching Autoregressive Models for Firm-Level Underwriting Data
Authors: Feng Frank Y. , Powers Michael R.
Published: May 2019

For many decades, the analysis of underwriting-profitability regimes (i. e. successive “hard” and “soft” markets) has formed an important topic in insurance research. In the present article, we study the characteristics of firm-level underwriting results by applying both ordinary and Markov-switching autoregressive models to data from individual U.S. property-liability companies. The research employs both univariate and multivariate methods. Our analysis argues against the existence of distinct, firm-level underwriting regimes in the U.S. property-liability market, but offers evidence of cross-company interactions over time.
Comparison of bone biomechanical properties after bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell or alendronate treatment in an osteoporotic animal model
Authors: Piao Chengdong , Li Zhengwei , Ding Jie , Kong Daliang
Published: May 2019

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and alendronate sodium (ALN) intervention on osteoporosis (OP). Sixty-eight 6-month-old healthy female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used to generate an OP model by removal of the ovaries. After 12 weeks, rats were treated with BMMSCs (BMMSC group) or ALN (ALN group) for 5 weeks. Serum type I collagen C terminal peptide (CTX_1), procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) were tested along with the femur bone density and other properties, including bone mineral density (BMD), BALP, percent trabecular area (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (TbN), maximum load, maximum stress, maximum strain, and elastic modulus. BMD, BALP, BV/TV, Tb.Th, TbN, maximum load, maximum stress, maximum strain, and elastic modulus values were higher in the BMMSC group versus the ALN group relative to the control group (p < 0.05); CTX_1, PINP, trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), and osteoclast number (OC.N) were lowest in the BMMSC group versus the ALN group relative to the control group (p < 0.05). Both BMMSCs and ALN could improve the metabolic function and bone quality in osteoporotic mice while restoring the strength and toughness of bones. The intervention effects of BMMSCs are better than ALN in this model.
What interventions could reduce diagnostic error in emergency departments? A review of evidence, practice and consumer perspectives
Authors: Wright Breanna , Faulkner Nicholas , Bragge Peter , Graber Mark
Published: May 2019

The purpose of this article is to synthesise review evidence, practice and patient perspectives on interventions to reduce diagnostic error in emergency departments (EDs). A rapid review methodology identified nine systematic reviews for inclusion. Six practice interviews were conducted to identify local contextual insights and implementation considerations. Finally, patient perspectives were explored through a citizen panel with 11 participants. The rapid review found evidence for the following interventions: second opinion, decision aids, guided reflection and education. Practitioners suggested three of the four interventions from the academic review: second opinion, decision aids and education. Practitioners suggested four additional interventions: improving teamwork, engaging patients, learning from mistakes and scheduled test follow-up. Patients most favoured interventions that improved communication through education and patient engagement, while also suggesting that implementation of state-wide standards to reduce variability in care and sufficient staffing are important to address diagnostic errors. Triangulating these three perspectives on the evidence allows for the intersections to be highlighted and demonstrates the usefulness of incorporating practitioner reflections and patient values in developing potential interventions.

Published: May 2019

Three quartz samples extracted from different origins were collected for ESR evaluation to appreciate the optical bleaching characteristics of the E1’ centre in a long time scale. After exposure of about 400 hours to artificial sunlight, the E1’ centre were bleached to a steady increasing level, about 2.5 times of its natural level, and the increase level also exhibit a small variability among different sample origins. The constant increasing level provide a significantly evidence for the potential use of the natural signal intensities of quartz E1’ centre in tracing sediment provenance. The results show that the signal intensity of E1’ centre increased within beginning 84 h and decreased after 202 h as previous researches have partly predicted. After long time exposed to sunlight, there is no correlation between irradiated samples’ dose rate and its E1’ centre ESR signal intensity. Thus, no new convenient indication shed light on the possible use of the E1’ centre for ESR sediment dating.
Acid precipitation of kraft lignin from aqueous solutions: the influence of anionic specificity and concentration level of the salt
Authors: Sewring Tor , Theliander Hans
Published: May 2019

In this study, the formation of particles and evolution of the particle size distribution in the micron range were monitored in situ during acid precipitation of kraft lignin. The objective of this work was to study the influence of anionic specificity and the ion concentration level. The concentrations of ions in the solution were altered both in terms of the concentration of Na+ and the type of anion in the salt added (

and Cl−). The results indicate that a salting-out phenomenon occurred as NaCl was added (Na+ ≥2 mol kg−1 water) to the kraft lignin solution at high pH, but not when Na2SO4 was added. However, the onset pH of the formation of particles (≥1 μm), triggered by acidification, showed to be virtually non-specific to the anion but strongly dependent on the Na+ concentration. As the pH decreased further to below the onset pH of the formation of particles ≥1 μm, the chord length distributions (particle-size related) indicated that most of the volume of the precipitated kraft lignin (and thus possibly also the mass) may be found among the micron-sized particles, despite the fact that a relatively large number of submicron particles may also be present. The volume-based distributions tended to be wide at relatively low pH and high Na+ concentrations (e.g. pH 9.4 and 2.0 mol kg−1 water).
Unauthorized Use of Famous Brands and Its Impact on Brand Equity Dimensions
Authors: Macías Washington , Cerviño Julio
Published: May 2019

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of unauthorized use of famous brand names on their brand equity dimensions. In addition, we explored the moderation effect of similarity between the unauthorized brand (junior brand) and the famous brand. An experimental design with four real famous brands and sixteen fictitious junior brands was applied to 617 undergraduate students from a large university in Ecuador. Hypotheses about the effect on brand equity dimensions and overall brand equity construct were tested using structural equation models. Results showed that awareness of a famous brand was not diluted by consumers’ exposure to junior brands. However, associations, perceived quality, loyalty and an overall construct of brand equity were diluted. There was evidence that similarity between famous and junior brands attenuated dilution. Therefore, considering that brand equity dimensions have desirable consequences on consumer behavior and firm value, this paper’s results highlight the importance of protecting brands against unauthorized use.

Published: May 2019

An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry based profiling of a purified MeOH extract (PME) from the roots of Chenopodium bonus-henricus L. (Amaranthaceae) tentatively identified 15 saponins of six sapogenins. The PME exerts hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities comparable to those of flavonoid complex silymarin in in vitro (1 and 10 μg/mL) and in vivo (200 mg/kg/daily for 7 days) models of hepatotoxicity, induced by CCl4. The main constituents of PME, respectively saponins bonushenricoside A (1), 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-bayogenin-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (2), 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-medicagenic acid-28-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl (1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester (3), 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-2β-hydroxygypsogenin-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (4), 3-O-α-L-rabinopyranosyl-bayogenin-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (6) and bonushenricoside B (8) (3 μg/mL each), compared to silymarin (5 and 50 μg/mL), significantly reduced the cellular damage caused by CCl4 in rat hepatocytes, preserved cell viability and glutathione level, decreased lactate dehydrogenase leakage and reduced lipid damage. The experimental data suggest that the glycosides of phytolaccagenin, bayogenin, medicagenic acid, 2β-hydroxygypsogenin, 2β-hydroxyoleanoic acid and oleanoic acid are a promising and safe class of hepatoprotective agents.
Shale, Quakes, and High Stakes: Regulating Fracking-Induced Seismicity in Oklahoma, USA and Lancashire, UK
Authors: Aczel Miriam R. , Makuch Karen E.
Published: May 2019

High-volume hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling has “revolutionized” the United States’ oil and gas industry by allowing extraction of previously inaccessible oil and gas trapped in shale rock [1]. Although the United States has extracted shale gas in different states for several decades, the United Kingdom is in the early stages of developing its domestic shale gas resources, in the hopes of replicating the United States’ commercial success with the technologies [2, 3]. However, the extraction of shale gas using hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling poses potential risks to the environment and natural resources, human health, and communities and local livelihoods. Risks include contamination of water resources, air pollution, and induced seismic activity near shale gas operation sites. This paper examines the regulation of potential induced seismic activity in Oklahoma, USA, and Lancashire, UK, and concludes with recommendations for strengthening these protections.

Asymmetric Redundancy of ZERZAUST and ZERZAUST HOMOLOG in Different Accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Vaddepalli Prasad , Fulton Lynette , Schneitz Kay
Published: May 2019

Divergence among duplicate genes is one of the important sources of evolutionary innovation. But, the contribution of duplicate divergence to variation in Arabidopsis accessions is sparsely known. Recently, we studied the role of a cell wall localized protein, ZERZAUST (ZET), in Landsberg erecta (Ler) accession, lack of which results in aberrant plant morphology. Here, we present the study of ZET in Columbia (Col) accession, which not only showed differential expression patterns in comparison to Ler, but also revealed its close homolog, ZERZAUST HOMOLOG (ZETH). Although, genetic analysis implied redundancy, expression analysis revealed divergence, with ZETH showing minimal expression in both Col and Ler. In addition, ZETH shows relatively higher expression levels in Col compared to Ler. Our data also reveal compensatory up-regulation of ZETH in Col, but not in Ler, implying it is perhaps dispensable in Ler. However, a novel CRISPR/Cas9-induced zeth allele confirmed that ZETH has residual activity in Ler. Finally, the synergistic interaction of the receptor-like kinase gene, ERECTA with ZET in ameliorating morphological defects suggests crucial role of modifiers on plant phenotype. The results provide genetic evidence for accession-specific differences in compensation mechanism and asymmetric gene contribution. Thus, our work reveals a novel example for how weakly expressed homologs contribute to diversity among accessions.
Sismo de Capellades 01 diciembre 2016, Cartago, Costa Rica

Published: May 2019

En este trabajo se hace una descripción de la fuente sísmica del sismo de Capellades, provincia de Cartago, Costa Rica, del 1 de diciembre de 2016, 00:25:20 hora UTC. Se estudian los parámetros de la fuente, centroide, momento, magnitud, mecanismo focal; así como hypocentro de las réplicas y sus magnitudes. También se hace una descripción de la sismicidad en la zona epicentral antes del sismo de Capellades. Los datos usados en el análisis fueron registrados por la red sísmica del Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica de la Universidad Nacional (OVSICORI-UNA) y el Laboratorio de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Costa Rica (LIS-UCR). El sismo principal se localizó con una profundidad hipocentral de 3.0 km, 3.7 km al NNO de Capellades, con una magnitud (Mw) de 5.2. Éste sismo se ubica entre los volcanes Turrialba e Irazú; Cordillera Volcánica Central de Costa Rica. La solución del tensor de momento indica una falla transcurrente dextral, casi vertical (buzamiento 82°), rumbo 155° y deslizamiento 174°; con un centroide a 6 km de profundidad. El eje de presión está indicado por un strike y dip de 21°/1°; es decir, con una dirección SSO-NNE y el de tensión de 111°/10°; indicando una tensión en la dirección SEE-NOO. En general, el mecanismo focal obtenido usando inversión de ondas o el impulso de los primeros arribos indican una falla transcurrente, con ejes de presión y tensión horizontales en concordancia con los esfuerzos de otros eventos sísmicos intraplaca moderados y ligeros que han ocurrido en el arco volcánico central de Costa Rica. En 5 días de actividad sísmica, en la zona comprendida entre 9.9 y 10.12 latitud norte, 83.9 y 83.72 longitud oeste, se localizaron 1923 sismos; todas las réplicas con magnitudes menores a 4.0 grados en la escala Richter. La relocalización de las réplicas muestra una tendencia epicentral con dirección NO-SE, con buzamiento al SO y concentrada en un área de 32 km2. El rumbo de 155° coincide con la tendencia mostrada por los epicentros de las réplicas, lo que indica el azimut de traza de la falla. La zona del Irazú-Turrialba, donde ocurrió el sismo del 1 de diciembre 2016, mostró microsismicidad meses y años antes del sismo principal, pero no se tenía conocimiento de sismos similares a éste, en el área de ruptura.

La ciudad es uno de los más poderosos y al mismo tiempo más controvertidos artefactos creados por el ser humano. En la actualidad, la mayoría de la humanidad desarrolla su vida cotidiana y trabaja en estos conjuntos de edificaciones y espacios libres diseminados por todo el planeta. El cine y, con él, la denominada imagen en movimiento, nacieron a finales del XIX y se desarrollaron en el siglo pasado, justo cuando las urbes se comenzaban a convertir en las descomunales aglomeraciones donde hoy disfrutamos y sufrimos. En las pantallas cinematográficas se fue mostrando ese crecimiento y en sus ficciones se narraron las transformaciones que iban experimentando los ciudadanos inmersos en las metrópolis; a partir de entonces, el denominado “séptimo arte” se ha convertido en un instrumento imprescindible tanto para analizar el desarrollo de las ciudades, como para proponer alternativas a la vida urbana.AbstractThe city is one of the most powerful and at the same time most controversial artifacts created by the human being.

Added therapeutic value of new drugs approved in Brazil from 2004 to 2016
Authors: Hoefler Rogério , Alves Teresa Leonardo , Leufkens Hubertus G. , Naves Janeth de Oliveira Silva
Published: May 2019

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the level of therapeutic innovation of new drugs approved in Brazil over 13 years and whether they met public health needs. Comparative descriptive analysis of therapeutic value assessments performed by the Brazilian Chamber of Drug Market Regulation (CMED) and the French drug bulletin Prescrire for new drugs licensed in Brazil, from January 1st 2004 to December 31st 2016. The extent to which new drugs met public health needs was examined by: checking inclusions into government-funded drug lists and/or clinical guidelines; comparing Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification (ATC) codes and drug indications with the list of conditions contributing the most to the national disease burden; and assessing new medicines aimed to treat neglected diseases. 253 new drugs were approved. Antineoplastics, immunossupressants, antidiabetics and antivirals were the most frequent. Thirty-three (14%) out of 236 drugs assessed by the Brazilian chamber and sixteen (8.2%) out of 195 assessed by the French bulletin Prescrire were considered innovative. Thirty-six drugs (14.2%) were selected for coverage by the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS), seven of which were therapeutically innovative, and none were aimed to treat neglected disease. About 1/3 of the drugs approved aimed to treat conditions among the top contributors to Brazil’s disease burden. Few therapeutically innovative drugs entered the Brazilian market, from which only a small proportion was approved to be covered by the SUS. Our findings suggest a divergence between public health needs, research & development (R&D) and drug licensing procedures.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar as associações entre as variáveis ambientais e a obesidade em população adulta de um município brasileiro de médio porte. Trata-se de estudo transversal com dados individuais de estudo de base populacional e dados ambientais obtidos por meio de observação direta, posteriormente georreferenciados com base nos endereços. A amostra incluiu 965 adultos de 20 a 59 anos. Utilizaram-se dados antropométricos, socioeconômicos, demográficos, comportamentais e de percepção de saúde. A variável desfecho foi a obesidade, definida por índice de massa corporal (IMC) ≥ 30kg/m2. Os estabelecimentos de venda de alimentos foram classificados em: supermercados, estabelecimentos com predominância de alimentos saudáveis, não saudáveis e mistos. O ambiente para a prática de atividade física foi categorizado em público e privado. Para a caracterização do ambiente social utilizou-se a renda per capita do setor censitário em terços e taxa de criminalidade. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística binária pelo modelo de equações de estimativa generalizadas. Foi verificada associação inversa entre a densidade dos locais públicos e privados para a prática de atividade física e obesidade (OR = 0,95, IC95%: 0,92-0,99; OR = 0,98, IC95%: 0,97-0,99), em modelos ajustados por variáveis individuais e ambientais. Em todos os modelos o terço de renda per capita mais alto associou-se inversamente à obesidade (p ≤ 0,05). O ambiente alimentar e as taxas de criminalidade não foram independentemente associados à obesidade. Tais achados sugerem que a renda do setor censitário e o ambiente de atividade física podem direcionar políticas públicas para a diminuição da obesidade no município.
Do euglossine females reside in a single nest? Notes on Euglossa cordata (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini)

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Euglossa Latreille, 1802 do not live in large colonies, and these are usually maintained or “reactivated” by new females, subordinate to their mother, which construct and provision brood cells. This study aimed to obtain information about the natural history of Euglossa cordata (Linnaeus, 1758) specially focusing on nest behavior. Our specific objective was to answer the following question: do E. cordata females reside in a single nest? We construct 14 artificial nesting boxes and made them available for E. cordata bees in natural environment for seven months. During this time, we use a re-marking method to identify bee fidelity to a single nest box. More specifically, we record bee permanence in the nests, the time bees take to provision brood to new cells and the time taken to offspring emergence. A total of 12 boxes were colonized by E. cordata and 23 cells were built in an average of 9.78 ± 11 days per cell. Eleven females emerged from the cells in 48.6 ± 11 days. Although adult females moved between nests and sometimes used multiple nests at the same time, E. cordata showed a relatively high fidelity to a single nest (81.1% of the female bees stayed in a single nest more than 50% of time).

Published: May 2019

RESUMO Este ensaio foi feito com base em um estudo descritivo que visou avaliar o conhecimento de alunos de Medicina sobre Oftalmologia. Por meio do aplicativo Survey Monkey, foi aplicado um questionário composto por 20 questões que foram respondidas por graduandos do primeiro ao sexto ano de Medicina. A análise dos dados coletados indicou aumento do nível de conhecimento acerca da Oftalmologia de acordo com o ano cursado na faculdade, ou seja, estudantes do quinto e sexto anos têm maior propriedade no assunto e também alunos que optaram pela opção de Oftalmologia como futura especialização. Além disso, um dado importante que se apresentou neste estudo foi que, embora tenham conhecimento de patologias oftalmológicas importantes, os alunos não têm plena familiaridade com o manejo de emergências e condutas oftalmológicas como médicos generalistas no pronto-socorro.
Intervenções sobre as superfícies urbanas: dissenso, consenso e ambivalências em Londres
Authors: Corrêa Laura Guimarães
Published: May 2019

Resumo Intervenções urbanas são práticas comunicacionais inscritas nas superfícies das cidades, que rompem a normalidade e interferem na paisagem e no cotidiano urbanos. Muitas intervenções podem ser lidas como ações políticas e gerar diversos significados, com reverberações e impactos positivos e negativos. Este artigo adota os conceitos de dissenso / consenso e política / polícia em Rancière para detectar reivindicações e empreender a análise de duas intervenções urbanas realizadas em Londres nos anos de 2015 e 2016. Ao analisar esses casos, observa-se que discursos hegemônicos podem se apropriar de intervenções urbanas, assim como manifestações criativas e ativistas contemporâneas podem se tornar consenso, como parte dos crescentes fenômenos de gentrificação e comodificação do espaço urbano. Esses processos são permeados pela lógica neoliberal e trazem consigo as contradições, a complexidade e as ambivalências presentes no dia-a-dia das cidades contemporâneas.
Kristeva e Butler: significância, performatividade e produção como parâmetros para uma semiótica crítica
Authors: Lucas Cássio de Borba , Silva Alexandre Rocha da
Published: May 2019

Resumo O artigo propõe um diálogo entre as teorias de Julia Kristeva e Judith Butler com o objetivo deretomar suas contribuições para uma semiótica crítica da comunicação. Indica, para tanto, uma série de ressonâncias que parecem conectar os distintos projetos das autoras em um similar viés pós-estruturalista. Na primeira seção, são exploradas estas ressonâncias por meio das noções de “experiência discursivamente condicionada”, de “práticas significantes” e da possibilidade de “intervenção crítica” na comunicação com viés desconstrucionista. Na segunda seção, trata-se de indicar a centralidade, no pensamento das duas pensadoras, do conceito de produção, que parece fundamentar as perspectivas da significância e da performatividade de que cada uma lança mão para evidenciar os desafios micropolíticos da comunicação.
Linguagem, corpo, estética e experiência - (re)dimensionamento do sentido e da presença nas práticas comunicativas midiatizadas
Authors: Onuki Gisele Miyoko , Wosniak Cristiane
Published: May 2019

Resumo Como seria possível qualificar as experiências vividas e percepções da realidade? Dentre as diversas variações históricas espaço-temporais (BARBOSA, 2012; KOSELLECK, 2006) que constituem as transformações culturais de experiências, percepções e ações que regem nosso tempo presente, bem como projetam expectativas quanto ao devir da cultura e da sociedade, esta pesquisa visa refletir sobre a edificação da sensibilidade sob a perspectiva das oscilações da experiência do real para uma possível qualificação dos sentidos. Para tanto, parte-se da hipótese de que o homem contemporâneo é acometido por uma “crise da experiência” (BENJAMIN, 1975) que redireciona a dimensão de sentido e presença (GUMBRECHT, 2010, 2015) nos agenciamentos das práticas comunicativas midiatizadas (HEPP; HASEBRINK, 2015), culminando nos modos de (in)tangenciar a realidade, (re)confingurando as mediações culturais e sociais.
Estratégias enunciativas de subversão da espacialidade nos jogos eletrônicos Portal, Antichamber e Monument Valley
Authors: Médola Ana Silvia Lopes Davi , Oliveira Bruno Jareta de
Published: May 2019

Resumo As estratégias enunciativas de projeções espaciais não referenciadas no mundo natural presentes em jogos eletrônicos são o objeto de análise deste trabalho. Sob a perspectiva da semiótica discursiva e estudos da linguagem audiovisual, busca-se compreender as lógicas de produção de sentido nas projeções espaciais dos jogos Portal, Antichamber e Monument Valley. As análises indicam que as imagens sintetizadas ampliam e subvertem a lógica perspectivista na representação da espacialidade e engendram regras de jogabilidade a partir de uma homologação parcial entre os regimes de interação do espaço enunciado com o do espaço da enunciação.

Authors: Recuero Raquel , Gruzd Anatoliy
Published: May 2019

Resumo O presente artigo busca debater, por meio de estudo de caso, as cascatas das chamadas fake news de cunho político no Twitter. Para tanto, examinam-se fake news que circularam durante dois eventos, o julgamento e a prisão do ex-presidente Lula. Para tal análise, utilizam-se métodos de coleta de dados automatizados, análise de redes e uma análise qualitativa. Os principais resultados apontam para uma circulação limitada dessas notícias, principalmente dentro de núcleos ideológicos favoráveis e uma forte ação de determinados tipos de usuários no seu espalhamento.
Um gesto político intersticial e um histórico palimpséstico:a escrita de si em D’est e Là-bas de Chantal Akerman
Authors: Veiga Roberta
Published: May 2019

Resumo Onde está o histórico e o político quando uma cineasta recusa os procedimentos de rememoração documentais como o arquivo, o testemunho e a encenação, para apenas contemplar espaços de conflito no Leste Europeu de 1993 e em Israel de 2006, sem a eles se imiscuir? Buscando responder tal questão, este artigo produz o argumento de que através da escrita de si – de uma autobiografia instituída nas lacunas da memória sobre o Holocausto – os filmes D’est e Là-bas, de Chantal Akerman, alcançam o político por uma via intersticial – aquela dos afetos e das brechas - e formula uma figura palimpséstica para a história, que não encadeia passado e presente.
Volto já (Be right back), de Black Mirror: tecnologias, finitude e a arte de saber terminar
Authors: Ferraz Maria Cristina Franco
Published: May 2019

Resumo A partir de uma retomada detalhada e comentada do episódio Volto já da série Black Mirror, o artigo discute a agenda atual da tecnociência em sua inflexão fáustica, com base nos trabalhos seminais de Hermínio Martins. Convoca, a seguir, José Gil para relacionar o impulso fáustico ao fechamento da porosidade da pele e à corrosão de Eros. Por fim, remete à proposta nietzschiana da arte de saber terminar como um contraponto aos sofrimentos com relação à perda e à finitude, tema central do episódio Volto já, de Black Mirror.
TIME TRENDS OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI PREVALENCE IN ITAJAÍ - SC: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 25 YEARS BASED ON ENDOSCOPIC DATABASE

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with the development of gastric adenocarcinoma. Currently, the prevalence in developed countries is 40%, but this value increases considerably in developing countries, which can reach rates bigger than 90%. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the mean and annual prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients from Itajaí during the period from July 1992 to April 2016, as well as the gender and age groups most affected. METHODS: After consent of the clinical director of the Gastroclinica Itajaí and confidentiality commitment about the research, the database of the Endoscopy Service of the clinic was evaluated. All the patients who underwent their first upper digestive endoscopy with urease test and/or histological analysis were included. The data were submitted to statistical analysis of prevalence by gender, age group and years of study, with subsequent correction through the confidence interval. RESULTS: The mean prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection thru all years of study was 50.07%. With the calculation of the annual prevalences, it was evident the gradual reduction of infection in the population of Itajaí, that was 81.3% in 1992, declining to 33% in the year of 2016. When classifying the prevalence of infection by gender, it was higher in males (53.59%), and gender distribution by age group showed no statistically significant difference among genders between the ages of 40 and 80 years. In relation to the age group, the highest prevalence was in the group between 40 and 49 years. CONCLUSION: Although this study is retrospective and based on endoscopic database analysis, without access to clinical data of patients such as prior use of proton pump inhibitor and antibiotics to endoscopy, its results are important because they may reflect the current panorama of Helicobacter pylori infection in the city under study, where it has been presenting a gradual reduction of prevalence over the years, with current rates similar to that of developed countries (33%). Future studies are needed to confirm our data.

Abstract Portugal has some rehabilitation centers for wild animals, which are responsible for the rehabilitation and reintroduction of birds, among other animals, into the wild. Coccidian parasites of these wild birds in rehabilitation centers are especially important because these centers can introduce coccidian species into new environments through the reintroduction of their respective hosts. In this context, the current study aimed to identify intestinal coccidia from wild birds at two rehabilitation centers for wild animals located in two municipalities of Portugal. Eighty-nine wild birds of 9 orders and 11 families were sampled, of which 22 (25%) were positive for Coccidia. Avispora spp. were found in raptors. Sporocysts of Sarcocystinae subfamily were recovered from owls. An Isospora sp. was found in Turdus merula Linnaeus, 1758, and an Eimeria sp. was found in Fulica atra Linnaeus, 1758. Among the coccidian species, Avispora bubonis (Cawthorn, Stockdale, 1981) can be highlighted. The finding of this species indicates that transmission of coccidians from the New World to the Old World may be occurring, potentially through dispersion by Bubo scandiacus (Linnaeus, 1758) through Arctic regions or by means of anthropic activities, and/or through other unknown mechanisms.
Behaviour of cement-stabilised silty sands subjected to harsh environmental conditions

Published: May 2019

This work evaluated the effect of three distinct amounts of fines, Portland cement and dry unit weights on the accumulated loss of mass (ALM), maximum shear modulus at small strains (G0) and tensile strength (qt) of stabilised sands subjected to wetting–drying cycles. Tensile strength test results showed that addition of fines to sand stabilised with cement increased its tensile strength, irrespective of the dry unit weight (γd) and cement content in the mixture. Increasing the amount of fines in compacted cement-stabilised silty sand specimens subjected to wetting–drying cycles reduced the ALM and increased the G0 and qt of the mixtures. This may be due to the fact that specimens with larger amounts of fines have more contact points among the particles, which provides better opportunities for the cement to develop more efficient bonds within the soil fabric, thus improving its mechanical performance. An increase in the cement content and γd of the compacted cement-stabilised silty sand specimens reduced their ALM and increased G0 after each one of the 12 wetting–drying cycles. The G0 and qt of cement-stabilised silty sand specimens with fines increased up to the sixth cycle, remaining practically constant after that, when these specimens were subjected to wetting–drying cycles.
