Músicas populares en debates académicos, o ¿cada carancho a su rancho?
Authors: Prendes Marcia Natividad
Published: October 2020

En el presente trabajo se presentan algunas reflexiones relacionadas a la investigación que la autora se encuentra desarrollando en el marco de sus estudios de posgrado. Se propone analizar ideas, conceptos y perspectivas metodológicas y críticas contenidas en algunos textos y discusiones sobre músicas populares argentinas - latinoamericanas. Dichos estudios sostienen que resulta difícil insertar y sostener la música y la musicología popular en los ámbitos académicos, así como producir sistematizaciones válidas para su enseñanza. Insisten en que si no se considera su especificidad, o no se abordan bajo sus propios cánones y procesos de producción característicos, se siguen reproduciendo modelos pedagógicos pensados para las músicas dominantes, bajo un planteo de supuesta “universalidad”, donde todo se vuelve analizable desde la perspectiva de la música académica. Aquellas músicas que por omisión son silenciadas, negadas, no reconocidas, prohibidas o censuradas, quedan excluidas del sistema y los ámbitos académicos, subestimando (en su reducción y simplificación) al objeto de estudio y su propia especificidad.

Authors: Larasati Zita Wahyu , Sunartiningsih Agnes
Published: October 2020

This article explains the strategy of managing the community resources in corporate social responsibility programs. For instance, this research aims to enrich studies on community empowerment strategies trough exploration of community empowerment programs conducted by corporates. This research uses a qualitative research method. Also, primary data was collected through in-depth interviews with the Sumbersari Village Cattle Group Society members, the Terapan Village Banana Processing Group administrators, Petrokimia Corporate of Gresik program assistants, and Petrokimia Corporate of Gresik staff. Furthermore, the research findings show that the sustainability strategy adopted by Petrokimia Corporate of Gresik is different for each program. In its implementation, Petrokimia Corporate of Gresik concerns on the plan for community empowerment sustainability programs, primarily based on an investigation and analysis of the needs, potential, and problems in both villages. These are due to differences in needs, potential, and problems in the two empowerment programs. These differences indicate that each region has its uniqueness in terms of variations, resources, and local responsibilities. The sustainability strategy implemented in the Cattle Program is potential integration and product diversification, while in the Banana Processing Program is adopted by product diversification.Artikel ini menjelaskan strategi pengelolaan sumber daya masyarakat dalam program tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan.

“Green” and “grey” ecologies as a notional context of contemporary artistic practices
Authors: Zeidler-Janiszewska Anna
Published: October 2020

The author highlights the need for the societies to become aware of the ecologically motivated ethics of responsibility. She discusses the division of ecological practices into “green” (e.g. establishments of reserves, protection of endangered species) and “grey” ones, which have been analyzed by P. Virilio, who defined them as “no longer an ecology of substance, but an […] ecology of the shrinking world.” According to the author, ecologically committed art contributes to propagating responsible attitudes, by drawing for instance on the tradition of avant-garde commitment. It is manifested in all currents which expose the dangers of the advancing technology and look for means of overcoming such threats (grey ecology).
From blight to beauty: the controversial creation of the first U.S. industrial-heritage park
Authors: Whitehouse Tanya
Published: October 2020

This paper describes and assesses Richard Haag’s controversial campaign to create Seattle’s Gas Works Park. Haag’s plan is significant in the history of environmental aesthetics, because it was the first to preserve remnants of industrial heritage in a United States city park, and because Haag appealed to aesthetics when making his case. I argue Haag’s campaign was persuasive, and I claim the former gas works now function within the park in much the same way as the ruins of parks of previous centuries. And because the structures are now ruins, they do not sanctify the destructive function they used to have. Finally, I claim that human intervention in abandoned, derelict, or post-industrial sites can be worthwhile if it successfully conveys a change in use or function of those sites, thus bringing beauty out of blight.

On the experience of the urban landscape: A commentary on Siegfried Lenz’s "Von der Wirkung der Landschaft auf den Menschen"
Authors: Szczepański Piotr
Published: October 2020

The aim of this paper is to characterize the relation between the urban  landscape (the image of the city) and the subject. The landscape is understood here in two ways: as something alien, excluding, and hostile, but also as something that gains new features when in contact with the Other. For it can be said, paraphrasing Siegfried Lenz’s famous statement on the relation between man and landscape, that the city is being created through us. The relationship between the residents and the urban landscape has a reciprocal character, in which “I” places itself in relation to a certain “you.”

Meduza, osłona i wysłannik niebios. Tajemnice Pieśni IX „Piekła” Dantego według nadinterpretacji Giulia Leoniego w powieści „I delitti dellaMedusa”
Authors: Raczyńska Alicja
Published: October 2020

Giulio Leoni, a modern Italian writer, is the author of five crime novels inspired by the life and works of Dante Alighieri. He presents Dante as a detective who investigates mysterious crimes of the early 14th-century Florence, Rome and Venice. Although Leoni has gained an international fame, there are very few studies which examine the connections between the “Divine Comedy” and his books. My article aims to analyze the overinterpretation of Canto IX of the “Inferno” in the novel “I delitti della Medusa”.

Rzymski hortus jako jeden z symboli miasta nad Tybrem. Krajobraz sepulkralny w przestrzeniach Rzymu od IV w. p.n.e. do I w. n.e.
Authors: Dworniak Justyna
Published: October 2020

The land and its cultivation had an important place in the minds and hearts of people living on the Tiber. As Roman culture developed, there evolved a tradition of building tombs which were to serve the living rather than the dead. This led to a widespread practice of designing “sepulchral landscapes” which became a fixed feature of Rome’s architectural space. Thus the necropolises gained a new function, becoming vibrant parks which offered an ideal locus amoenus

Bł. Jan Henryk Newman - etos i nawrócenie
Authors: Kłos Jan
Published: October 2020

This paper is an attempt to approach the history of bl. John Henry Newman as the history of a man who decided to re-evaluate his ethos in line with what his conscience showed him to be a duty to fulfil. Here conversion is understood as a long process of development, where the moment of decision is only the finał element. What seems to be an illumination and impulse is only seemingly a sudden change. In faet, it stems from personal and tacit thought, from the mystery of the person.

„Nie należy do mężczyzny, by wtrącał się do jadła”. Rzecz o ucztowaniu i tabu pokarmowym w średniowiecznej Islandii
Authors: Jakubczyk Radosław
Published: October 2020

In this paper, I discuss various kinds of feasts in Old Norse-Icelandic literature, such as wedding, funeral, or sacrificial feasts. I discuss feasting, an important part of the culture of medieval Iceland, much more in terms of its functions (political, social, religious) than in terms of its culinary aspect. In addition, I consider how religious traditions impacted Old Icelandic food culture and how food taboo related to horse-meat consumption (declared just after the conversion of Iceland to Christianity in 1000 CE) affected social interaction.
Medal upamiętniający zawarcie związku małżeńskiego między Teresą Kunegudną Sobieską a Maksymilanem Emanuelem Wittelsbachem z 1694 roku, autorstwa Georga Haustscha. Próba interpretacji na przykładzie wybranych dzieł sztuki (medalierstwa i grafiki)
Authors: Rokita Jan Gustaw
Published: October 2020

In the article, the author describes in detail two selected pieces of art which bear considerable resemblance to the medal minted by Georg Hautsch. As the author observes, no representation in the entire painterly and graphic legacy of associated with Jan III Sobieski offers a direct prototype on which the medallist may have relied. It should therefore be suspected that the royal likeness on the obverse was based on several earlier representations in graphic arts or constituted an original project by Hautsch.
How new is the new biography? Some remarks on the misleading term’s past and present
Authors: Cymbrykiewicz Joanna
Published: October 2020

The article discusses the issue of the so-called “new biography” by underscoring ambiguity of the term and presenting the different variants of “new biography” it encompasses. In order to do that, an introduction is made where the tenets of  the classical biography are outlined. The inquiry focuses chiefly on England and the USA, although remarks are also made with respect to biographical writing in other countries. It appears that the term is contemporarily mainly associated with Lytton Strachey’s model of biography which, having been formulated in 1918, proved  a breakthrough in life writing, since it operated with ironic detachment from the protagonist. Strachey perceived biography as an art and was determined to speak openly about all spheres of the biographee’s life. The article proves that although other  attempts at creating a “new biography” were made after Strachey (by Leon Edel and Jo Burr Margadant), their newness is either derivative and supplementary to Strachey’s achievement, or advances a wholly new notion of biography, with the concept of multiplicity of the protagonist’s self. As the Stracheyan biographical model is almost a century old, one can assume that what is understood as “new biography” is not  so new after all. In the meantime, though, biographical practice has taken a turn and  a novelistic mode of writing, i.e. biofiction, has become the current paradigm. The author therefore suggests that the present-day understanding of “new biography” be reconsidered by recognizing biofiction as one of the figures of biographical “newness”.

Stuck in my head: Musical obsessions and experiential avoidance
Authors: Reuman Lillian , Buchholz Jennifer , Abramowitz Jonathan
Published: October 2020

Earworms refer to catchy tunes that run repeatedly through a person's mind. Empirical literature regarding earworms is scant; however, some researchers have conceptualized the phenomenon as an unwanted intrusion in the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The current study expands upon past research by characterizing the experience of earworms and examining associations of earworm-related distress and interference with theoretical constructs of interest, including obsessive beliefs and experiential avoidance. Two hundred forty participants completed an online survey regarding the experience of musical obsessions (e.g., duration, frequency, distress) and related theoretical constructs (e.g., experiential avoidance) of interest. Descriptive results regarding the frequency, duration, and associated distress and interference of earworms are presented. Furthermore, results reveal that experiential avoidance is a unique predictor of earworm-related distress and interference. Results suggest that interference and distress due to earworms may be related to attempts to suppress them. Study conclusions, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
Reduced Multivoxel Pattern Similarity of Vicarious Neural Pain Responses in Psychopathy

Published: October 2020

Psychopathy is a personality construct characterized by interpersonal callousness, boldness, and disinhibition, traits that vary continuously across the population and are linked to impaired empathic responding to others’ distress and suffering. Following suggestions that empathy reflects neural self–other mapping—for example, the similarity of neural responses to experienced and observed pain, measurable at the voxel level—we used a multivoxel approach to assess associations between psychopathy and empathic neural responses to pain. During fMRI scanning, 21 community-recruited participants varying in psychopathy experienced painful pressure stimulation and watched a live video of a stranger undergoing the same stimulation. As total psychopathy, coldheartedness, and self-centered impulsivity increased, multivoxel similarity of vicarious and experienced pain in the left anterior insula decreased, effects that were not observed following an empathy prompt. Our data provide preliminary evidence that psychopathy is characterized by disrupted spontaneous empathic representations of others’ pain that may be reduced by instructions to empathize.
Zika virus depletes neural stem cells and evades selective autophagy by suppressing the Fanconi anemia protein FANCC
Authors: Tiwari Shashi Kant , Dang Jason W , Lin Nianwei , Qin Yue , Wang Shaobo , Rana Tariq M
Published: October 2020

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging flavivirus, which when passed through vertical transmission from mother to developing fetus can lead to developmental abnormalities, including microcephaly. While there is mounting evidence that suggests a causal relationship between ZIKV infection and microcephaly, the mechanisms by which ZIKV induces these changes remain to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that ZIKV infection of neural stems cells, both in vitro and in vivo, induces macroautophagy to enhance viral replication. At the same time, ZIKV downregulates a number of essential selective autophagy genes, including the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway genes. Bioinformatics analyses indicate that the transcription factor E2F4 promotes FANCC expression and is downregulated upon ZIKV infection. Gain and loss of function assays indicate that FANCC is essential for selective autophagy and acts as a negative regulator of ZIKV replication. Finally, we show that Fancc KO mice have increased ZIKV infection and autophagy protein levels in various brain regions. Taken together, ZIKV downregulates FANCC to modulate the host antiviral response and simultaneously attenuate neuronal growth.
Forests, peoples, and governments: Persistent land-use conflict in Northern Thailand
Authors: Talerngsri Khemarat
Published: October 2020

Land-use conflict in Northern Thailand has led to large-scale deforestation. This article suggests two reasons why this conflict has not been resolved despite the many legal and institutional approaches taken by Thai governments over the decades. First, conflicting directions embedded within the national policymaking level caused uncertainty for policy implementors at ministerial levels. Second, policy-drivers at the local level interacted with the specific socioeconomic context of upland residents in a way to make land-use conflict persistent. Contradictory messages by top policymakers, combined with the national ministries’ focus on purely functional tasks, diminished the importance of a local area-based approach necessary for land-use conflict resolution. Additionally, vested interests favoring agricultural expansion into the forests have been more diverse and influential than those favoring forest conservation; the former having tools at hand to incentivize smallholders to encroach into forested areas. Further driving agricultural expansion was that, in a management vacuum, local private sector actors acted as the de facto policy coordinators for the fragmented government local operations; however, on the forest conservation front, there was no coordinating body. This imbalanced situation has proved fertile soil for conflict.
Capital flows and political conflicts: Evidence from Thailand
Authors: Luangaram Pongsak , Sethapramote Yuthana
Published: October 2020

How do domestic political conflicts affect capital flows into Thailand? This article advances the current understanding in two ways. First, it adopts a new method for measuring political uncertainty using Thai-language newspapers over the past 20 years. Given that the nature of political conflicts is multi-faceted, these measures cover the various key components of Thai political tensions—both within and outside of parliament. Second, how different types of tensions affect capital flows are examined using a quantile regression framework—allowing an examination of effects upon the overall distribution of capital flows. The empirical results indicate that Thai political conflicts significantly and adversely affect both foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment at the left tails of their distribution. The results also highlight how different types of political conflicts affect capital flows in different ways. For example, uncertainty about a military coup and government measures regarding martial law or emergency decrees have a strong negative effect upon foreign direct investment flows; whereas heightened political protest and news about constitutional reform play a significant role in explaining the risk reversal of foreign portfolio investment flows.

The objective of this research project was to evaluate the quality of private school education in the Chaclacayo District of Lima. The study was performed with a qualitative, descriptive methodology. The quality of education at five private high schools was assessed using a sample of 209 participants, including students, teachers and parents. Three questionnaires were applied: the first with 108 questions for students, the second with 121 questions for teachers, and the third with 83 questions for parents. Results showed that the level of education at these schools was found to be “medium quality”, according to the assessed criteria: customer satisfaction (50.23%), educational leadership (51.37%), strategic planning applied to education (48.30%), human talent satisfaction (51.67%), human talent management (48.15%), teaching methods and processes (51.13%), impact on society (52.80%), educational outcomes (50.17%) and educational resources (47.93%). In conclusion, the quality of high school private education in the Chaclacayo District is found to be at a medium level, represented by a score of 50.93%, according to the average perceptions of the external customers (students and parents), as well as internal customers (teachers).
Parenting and Migration in Academic Publications: What is seen to be ‘Troubling’?
Authors: Juozeliūnienė Irena , Bielevičiūtė Indrė , Budginaitė-Mačkinė Irma
Published: October 2020

In this chapter the authors examine how parenting in migration context is portrayed in the academic discourse in Lithuania. The authors reveal the depictions of migration-induced child caring practices, based on the results of analysis of academic publications (2004–2017) carried out from January to March 2018 as part of the sub-study of the research project ‘Global Migration and Lithuanian Family: Family Practices, Circulation of Care, and the Return Strategies’. The chapter focus on the portrayal of parenting within the host country, after return from emigration and in transnational family settings. The analysis reveals how value judgements about family life rooted in the low mobility discourse are reproduced in academic publications on family and migration and lead the researchers to portray parenting in migration as ‘troubling’.

RESUMO O estudo dos ativos intangíveis tem despertado crescente interesse nos últimos anos. Por força dessa tendência, estudar as empresas que se utilizam intensamente desse tipo de ativo também é igualmente importante. Os ativos intangíveis são responsáveis por grandes mudanças nas características financeiras e operacionais das empresas. Partindo-se dessa suposição, uma questão importante a ser analisada é se existem diferenças significativas entre as empresas intensivas em ativos intangíveis e as empresas intensivas em ativos tangíveis. Assim, este artigo tem por objetivo identificar e analisar os possíveis determinantes econômico-financeiros da intangibilidade das empresas brasileiras. Os resultados mostram que duas variáveis, o endividamento e o tamanho, são importantes na diferenciação entre as empresas intangível-intensivas e tangível-intensivas.

RESUMO Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar os resultados do diagnóstico do Lentivírus Caprino, por Imunodifusão em Gel de ágar - IDGA, utilizando o kit comercial americano e o kit nacional produzido com cepa CAEV Cork. Foram utilizados dois rebanhos, sendo um da Embrapa Caprinos submetido a doze anos de programa de controle e um outro rebanho infectado pelo CAEV, que não teve nenhuma ação prévia de controle. Analisando os resultados dos antígenos (nacional e americano) no rebanho não controlado, verificou-se que o antígeno comercial americano, quando foi utilizado pela primeira vez para o diagnóstico apresentou resultados mais significativos do que o nacional. Já no rebanho controlado, o antígeno nacional detectou um número maior de positivos. Analisando os dados do trabalho verificou-se a importância da alternância de proteínas imunogênicas presentes no antígeno dos kits de diagnóstico usados em programas de controle da Artrite Encefalite Caprina, haja vista a variação das respostas ao diagnóstico segundo a proteína expressa pelo vírus.

ABSTRACT Millipede infestations of urban centers have received the attention of several researchers interested in understanding the causes of this phenomenon and to develop control measures. A great numbers of millipede Urostreptus atrobrunneus have invaded a district of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, during the spring and summer of the last three years, apparently becoming a nuisance to local residents. The toxicity of Bendiocarb® insecticide for U. atrobrunneus was tested in laboratory. High mortality was observed 24 hours after the insecticide application. However, this insecticide may cause environmental contamination (if used for millipede control).

Justificativa e Objetivos: No processo saúde-doença da tuberculose (TB), a mortalidade constitui um dos indicadores de saúde que mais traduz o enlace social com o biológico. O óbito por TB é considerado um evento sentinela por ser evitável, indicativo de falha da rede social e do sistema de saúde. Descrever as características sociodemográficas e operacionais dos pacientes que evoluíram a óbito por TB e a distribuição temporal da taxa de mortalidade por TB no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo descritivo do tipo transversal e abordagem quantitativa, realizado a partir do banco de dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM), na qual foram considerados todos os óbitos que apresentaram a TB como causa básica, registrados de 2001 a 2011, analisados por meio da estatística descritiva. Resultados: No período do estudo, foram registrados 53.747 óbitos com TB como causa básica, sendo maior percentual dos casos do sexo masculino (n= 39.597; 73,6%), raça/cor parda (n= 21.697; 40,3%), estado civil solteiro (n= 23.518; 43,8%), escolaridade até 8 anos de estudo (n=19.443; 36,2%), maior ocorrência dos óbitos no hospital (n= 43.028; 80,1%) e 19.712 casos (36,7%) receberam assistência médica antes do óbito. As taxas brutas anuais de mortalidade apresentaram redução no período de estudo, variando de 3,2 a 2,4 óbitos por 100 mil habitantes. Conclusão: Os resultados evidenciam a necessidade de propor estratégias diferenciadas por sexo, idade e escolaridade em nível local nos programas de controle de TB, assim como planejamento de ações de promoção e prevenção da saúde disponíveis às populações residentes nessas áreas.

Published: October 2020

Justificativa e Objetivos: Apesar das novidades relacionadas ao diagnóstico precoce e ao rastreamento microbiano dos casos de sepse, faz-se necessário compreender os aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos dos serviços de saúde visando definir as especificidades dos pacientes acometidos em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Nesse contexto, objetiva-se descrever as características epidemiológicas de pacientes com sepse em UTI. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva, retrospectiva, documental, com abordagem quantitativa, realizada entre maio e julho de 2018, em hospital de ensino da Zona Norte do Estado do Ceará. Utilizou-se como fonte de dados os prontuários de pacientes que apresentaram sepse nas UTI do referido hospital, alcançando-se uma amostra de 62 prontuários para análise. Os dados coletados foram armazenados nos programas Microsoft Excel e Origin Lab 8 para posterior construção de gráficos e tabelas para análise das informações. Resultados: Os casos tiveram predominância em indivíduos do sexo masculino, residentes em municípios interioranos circunvizinhos e adultos jovens com idade entre 19 e 39 anos. O traumatismo cranioencefálico e o politraumatismo foram os diagnósticos iniciais que prevaleceram. As bactérias grampositivas tiveram maior prevalência, superando os bacilos gram-negativos e os fungos. Os antimicrobianos mais utilizados foram Cefepime e Vancomicina. As evoluções das infecções estiveram associadas a fatores como: estado de saúde dos pacientes; utilização de dispositivos invasivos e longo período de internação. Conclusão: As informações obtidas nesta pesquisa indicam que os dados epidemiológicos desempenham papel crucial no que diz respeito à aplicação de novos recursos, tecnologias e tratamentos. Tais conhecimentos permitirão desenvolver estratégias e condutas direcionadas à qualidade na assistência intensiva.

Justificativa e Objetivos: A sífilis é umas das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis que causam grandes danos às gestantes e seus conceptos. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer o perfil epidemiológico de gestantes portadoras de sífilis em um município da região do Cariri, Ceará, Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza descritiva, documental, com abordagem quantitativa, realizada no período de fevereiro a dezembro de 2018. O estudo ocorreu no setor de vigilância epidemiológica de um município da região do Cariri, e teve como amostra, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 96 fichas de investigação de sífilis em gestantes. Um roteiro de formulário foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados. Posteriormente, os dados foram analisados pelo Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultados: Em relação ao perfil sociodemográfico, 53,2% (n=51) das participantes tinham idade entre 14 e 23 anos, 87,5% (n=84) estavam no último trimestre da gestação, 84,4% (n=81) eram pardas, 54,2% (n=52) tinham ensino fundamental incompleto, 84,4% (n=81) residiam na cidade de Juazeiro do Norte - Ceará, e 76% (n=73) possuíam como ocupação ser dona do lar. Quanto ao estágio clínico, 83% (n=80) apresentavam a forma latente da doença. No ano de 2017, a incidência foi de 48% (n=46) e em 2018, foi de 52% (n=50). Conclusão: Embora o acesso ao diagnóstico da sífilis no período gestacional tenha melhorado após a incorporação do teste rápido para sífilis nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família (UBSF), esta patologia ainda tem grande predominância no Brasil, como evidenciado no estudo.

Justificativa e Objetivos: O sucesso da técnica anestésica é fundamental para qualquer procedimento e garantia de segurança ao paciente, sendo sustentado por protocolos e fundamentos de caráter imperativo a fim de conferir o melhor atendimento. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho verificará a utilização dos anestésicos locais, com ênfase em pacientes hipertensos, nos consultórios particulares da cidade de Palmas/TO. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo transversal de abordagem quantitativa realizado por meio de um questionário fechado de construção livre aplicado para profissionais do serviço privado de Palmas/TO, após assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Foi realizada análise descritiva de 113 questionários por intermédio do Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22.0. Resultados: Dos entrevistados, 58,4% eram mulheres, a especialidade mais encontrada foi implantodontia (20,4%); 53,1% apontaram que a escolha do anestésico é feita de acordo com a condição do paciente; 47,8% dos profissionais possuem mais de 3 tipos de anestésicos disponíveis para o atendimento; 53,1% apontou ensino de anestesiologia na graduação satisfatório; 65,5% não frequenta cursos e palestras sobre esse tema; 41,6% dos dentistas aferiam a pressão somente em hipertensos, lidocaína foi o sal mais utilizado de forma geral e também de forma especifica ao considerar somente hipertensos. Conclusão: O anestésico local mais utilizado em hipertensos é a lidocaína 2% com adrenalina 1:100.000, porém a maioria dos profissionais só afere a pressão arterial em já diagnosticados com hipertensão, expondo resultados relativamente satisfatórios em virtude de condutas que ainda necessitam ser readequadas.
