‘The spirit of the Lord God is upon me’ (Is 61:1): The use of Isaiah 61:1–2 in Luke 4:18–19
Authors: Obiorah Mary J. , Uroko Favour C.
Published: October 2018

Copious citations of the Old Testament (OT) by the New Testament (NT) writers confirm the continuity of the divine revelation in both parts of the sacred scripture and at the same time underscore the newness of the NT. This is evident in the theological development of the reality of the ‘spirit of the Lord’ from the OT to the NT. In this article the writer traces the development of this biblical concept from its occurrence in the context of Isaiah 61:1–2 to the use of this text in a programmatic passage of Luke 4:18–19. The aim of the research is to shed light on the concept and nature of the spirit of the Lord in its context in Isaiah and the use of this by a NT writer. Both texts are carefully compared, using a literary approach, with the intention to discover how the NT writer used this concept in his presentation of the person and mission of Jesus as a charismatic figure and the anointed of the Lord.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug Resistance and Transmission among Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Patients in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Authors: Mai Trinh Quynh , Martinez Elena , Menon Ranjeeta , Van Anh Nguyen Thi , Hien Nguyen Tran , Marais Ben J. , Sintchenko Vitali
Published: October 2018

Vietnam has a high burden of tuberculosis (TB) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB, but drug resistance patterns and TB transmission dynamics among TB/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfected patients are not well described. We characterized 200 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from TB/HIV coinfected patients diagnosed at the main TB referral hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) for first-line drugs, spoligotyping, and 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit (MIRU-24) analysis was performed on all isolates. The 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit clusters and MDR isolates were subjected to whole genome sequencing (WGS). Most of the TB/HIV coinfected patients were young (162/174; 93.1% aged < 45 years) males (173; 86.5% male). Beijing (98; 49.0%) and Indo-Oceanic (70; 35.0%) lineage strains were most common. Phenotypic drug resistance was detected in 84 (42.0%) isolates, of which 17 (8.5%) were MDR; three additional MDR strains were identified on WGS. Strain clustering was reduced from 84.0% with spoligotyping to 20.0% with MIRU-24 typing and to 13.5% with WGS. Whole genome sequencing identified five additional clusters, or members of clusters, not recognized by MIRU-24. In total, 13 small (two to three member) WGS clusters were identified, with less clustering among drug susceptible (2/27; 7.4%) than among drug-resistant strains (25/27; 92.6%). On phylogenetic analysis, strains from TB/HIV coinfected patients were interspersed among strains from the general community; no major clusters indicating transmission among people living with HIV were detected. Tuberculosis/HIV coinfection in Vietnam was associated with high rates of drug resistance and limited genomic evidence of ongoing M. tuberculosis transmission among HIV-infected patients.
Cold fronts – a potential air quality threat over the Yangtze River Delta, China

Published: October 2018

Abstract. Cold frontal passages usually promote quick removal of atmospheric pollutants over North China (e.g. the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region). However, in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), cold fronts pose a potential threat to air quality. In this study, a cold frontal passage and a subsequent stable weather event over YRD during 21–26 January 2015 was investigated with in-situ observations and Weather Research and Forecasting–Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System simulations. Observations showed a burst of PM2.5 pollution and an obvious southward motion of PM2.5 peaks on the afternoon of 21 January, suggesting a strong inflow of highly polluted airmasses to YRD by a cold frontal passage. Model simulations revealed an existing warm and polluted airmass over YRD, which climbed to the free troposphere along the frontal surface as the cold front passed, increasing the PM2.5 concentration at high altitudes. Strong north-westerly flow behind the cold front transported particles from the highly polluted North China Plain (NCP) to YRD. As the cold front intruded into the downstream of YRD, high pressure took control over the YRD, which resulted in a synoptic subsidence that brought particles from the free troposphere (1.0–2.0 km) to the surface. After the cold front's passage, weakened winds and a stable atmosphere stayed over the YRD and led to the accumulation of locally emitted PM2.5. Tagging of PM2.5 by geophysical regions showed that the PM2.5 contribution from the YRD itself was 35 % and the contribution from the NCP was 29 % during the cold frontal passage. However, under the subsequent stable weather conditions, the PM2.5 contribution from the YRD increased to 61.5 % and the contribution from the NCP decreased to 14.5 %. The results of this study indicate that cold fronts are potential bringers of atmospheric pollutants when there are strong air pollutant sources in upstream areas, which may deteriorate air quality in downstream regions.
Impacts of climate change and emissions on atmospheric
oxidized nitrogen deposition
over East
Asia

Published: October 2018

Abstract. A multi-model ensemble of Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP) simulations are used to study the atmospheric oxidized nitrogen (NOy) deposition over East Asia under climate and emission changes projected for the future. Both dry and wet NOy deposition shows significant decreases in the 2100s under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, primarily due to large anthropogenic emission reduction over both land and sea. However, in the near future of the 2030s, both dry and wet NOy deposition increases significantly due to continued increase in emissions. The individual effect of climate or emission changes on dry and wet NOy deposition is also investigated. The impact of climate change on dry NOy deposition is relatively minor, but the effect on wet deposition, primarily caused by changes in precipitation, is much higher. For example, over the East China Sea, wet NOy deposition increases significantly in summer due to climate change by the end of this century under RCP 8.5, which may subsequently enhance marine primary production. Over the coastal seas of China, as the transport of NOy from land becomes weaker due to the decrease of anthropogenic emissions, the effect of ship emission and lightning emission becomes more important. On average, seasonal mean total NOy deposition is projected to be enhanced by 24–48 % and 3 %–37 % over Yellow Sea and East China Sea, respectively, by the end of this century. Therefore, continued control of both anthropogenic emission over land and ship emissions may reduce NOy deposition to the Chinese coastal seas.
Submarine groundwater discharge site in the First Salpausselkä ice-marginal formation, south Finland

Published: October 2018

Abstract. Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) has been implicated as a significant source of nutrients and other potentially harmful substances to coastal sea. Although the number of reported SGD sites has increased recently, their stratigraphical architecture and aquifer geometry are rarely investigated in detail. This study analyses a multifaceted dataset of offshore seismic sub-bottom profiles, multibeam and sidescan sonar images of the seafloor, radon measurements of seawater and groundwater, and onshore ground-penetrating radar and refraction seismic profiles in order to reconstruct the detailed stratigraphical architecture of a high-latitude SGD site, which is connected to the Late-Pleistocene First Salpausselkä ice-marginal formation on the Hanko Peninsula in Finland. The studied location is characterized by a sandy beach, a sandy shore platform that extends 100–250 m seaward sloping gently to ca. 4 m water depth, and a steep slope to ca. 17 m water depth within ca. 50 m distance. The onshore radar and offshore seismic profiles are correlated based on unconformities, following the allostratigraphical approach. The aquifer is hosted in the distal sand-dominated part of an ice-contact subaqueous fan foreset. It is interpreted that gravel and coarse sand interbeds and lenses in the distal foreset, and, potentially, coarse couplet layers in the overlying glaciolacustrine rhythmite, provide conduits for localized groundwater flow. The SGD takes place predominantly through pockmarks on the seafloor, which are documented on the shore platform slope by multibeam and sidescan sonar images. Elevated radon-222 activity concentrations measured 1 m above seafloor confirm SGD from two pockmarks with fine sand surface sediment, whereas there was no discharge from a third pockmark that was covered with a thin organic-rich mud layer. The thorough understanding of the local stratigraphy and the geometry and composition of the aquifer that have been acquired in this study are crucial for successful hydrogeological modeling and flux studies at the SGD site.
An attempt to monitor seasonal dynamics of soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta region of China using Landsat data
Authors: Chen Hongyan , Zhao Gengxing , Li Yuhuan , Wang Danyang , Ma Ying
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Monitoring seasonal dynamics of soil salinization is necessary with distinct seasonal climates. The article is to explore the optimal inversion models of soil salinity content (SSC) in different seasons and to achieve the spatial distribution and seasonal dynamics of SSC in Kenli district in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) region of China. Based on the Landsat data in 2013, the improved vegetation indices (IVI) were constucted, which were then applied in the SSC inversion model construction. Finally, the SSC optimal model in each season was extracted, then, the spatial distributions and seasonal dynamics of SSC in four seasons were analysed. The results indicated that the support vector machine (SVM) method resulted in the best inversion models. The SSC best inversion model of spring was also determined as the optimal model of winter, similarly, the best model of autumn was also as the optimal model of summer. The SSC exhibited a gradually increasing trend from the south-west to the north-east in Kenli district, and its seasonal dynamics were as that soil salinity accumulates in spring, decreases in summer, rises in autumn, and peaks in winter. This work would provide data support for the treatment and utilization of saline alkali soil in the YRD region.

Sociocultural Contexts of Reading Development in Young English Language Learners
Authors: Lin Hsin-Hui , Wei Liping , Wang Mei-Chih
Published: October 2018

This study explored reading development in young English language learners (ELL) during the kindergarten year. Data used in this study came from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011 (ECLS-K: 2011). A total sample of 15,042 students who attended kindergarten the first time was included. The independent variables were the indicators of the home language, family income level, and gender. The two dependent variables were students’ reading item response theory (IRT) scale scores in the fall and spring semester of the kindergarten year. Two full three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) models were used for the statistical analyses. The results found there is a gender difference in children’s reading performance, with female students doing slightly better than male. The family income levels also show differences in children’s reading performance. The higher the family income was, the better students showed in their mean reading scores. English Only Learners (EOL) had the highest mean scores, followed by the group of multilingual learners (ML), English language learners (ELL) group had the lowest scores for both semesters. Among the 18 subgroups, the highest group was ELL-high-income-family-females in the fall semester and ML-middle-income-family-males in the spring semester. The lowest group was ELL-low-income-males for both semesters.
Firm’s Engagement in Corporate Social Responsibilities in Nigeria
Authors: Onuorah A. C. , Ozurumba B. A.
Published: October 2018

This study examined firms engagement in corporate social responsibilities in Nigeria using secondary data derived from the audited annual reports of the five (5) selected listed Oil and Gas Companies in Nigeria from 2008 - 2017. The study proxied firm’s involvement by Firm Age (FMA), Employee Turnover (EPT), Customers Satisfaction (CSF) and Reputation (RPT) as the independent variables, while Responsibility of firms in Nigeria was proxied by CSR as the dependent variable. The study applied GRETL software, and used Ordinary Least Square (OLS) for the estimation of the result. The results revealed that the independent variables: EPT, CSF and RPT have positive significant impact on CSR while FMA shows a negative impact. The coefficient of R-squared which is 0.935067 shows that all the independent variables have 94% positive impact on CSR while the coefficient of Adjusted R-squared, 0.931820 suggests that 93% of all independent variables could be explained by the changes in CSR. The study concludes that firm’s age is not a strong and powerful measure of CSR as it does not play a significant role in determining the CSR of oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Thus, it was recommended that the management of the selected oil and gas sector should maintain quality assets that are durable. This is necessitated by the potential of the organizations that have such assets to invest more substantial funds towards Corporate Social Responsibility.

Hong Kong’s Elusive Identity: Searching in the Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Ellis James W.
Published: October 2018

Hong Kong is adrift between its British colonial past and its upcoming political reunification with the ancestral Chinese motherland. Hong Kong has endured a prolonged identity crisis in recent years, as it struggles to reconcile conflicts between its transnational worldview and the cultural identity, or Chineseness, of its majority population. A growing wave of nostalgia for the colonial era has frustrated Beijing’s efforts to win the hearts and minds of Hongkongers. This essay analyzes how Hong Kong’s distinctive local character is reflected in several socio-cultural arenas: the heritage industry, filmmaking, efforts to preserve historic structures and intangible heritage, public education, and tourism. With reunification on the horizon, Hongkongers want to assert an independent cultural identity but still seem to exist at the “intersection of different spaces”.
Cognitive Comprehension of “Beyond & Behind”: An Experimental Study of Baghdad University
Authors: Aajami Raghad Fahmi
Published: October 2018

The present study analyzes two locative English prepositions behind and beyond from the cognitive semantic point of view. These prepositions pose a problem experienced by Iraqi undergraduates. The complexity of these two prepositions encourages the researcher to use the cognitive linguistics (CL) approach and its insights as developed by Evans and Tyler 2003 to test its validity and help the Iraqi students. The data analysis is quantitatively-based. Seventy second-year university students participate in this experimental study. The pre-test and post-test data are analyzed through SPSS statistical editor and the results show a progress of more than (0.05≤). The results of the questionnaire show a noticeable positive change in the students’ attitude toward CL approach and display the main source of difficulty that is related to perplexity in the usage of these prepositions. The effectiveness of CL approach in getting accurate comprehension of the English prepositions behind and beyond is proved by the results of this experiment.

Desejo, renúncia, ascese e salvação em Schopenhauer
Authors: Bittencourt Renato Nunes
Published: October 2018

O artigo aborda o caráter filosoficamente revolucionário do pensamento de Schopenhauer acerca do processo ontológico da negação da Vontade, representado materialmente na era moderna pela ruptura com a ordem materialista da sociedade de consumo, produtora de ilusões de satisfação e gozo para seus sectários. Tal circunstância faz de Schopenhauer uma voz dissonante aos apelos do materialismo vulgar do regime capitalista por dissecar filosoficamente as bases psicológicas que o sustentam, a exaltação dos desejos jamais realizados convenientemente.
A presença da literatura nos "argumentos" de Schopenhauer a favor da primazia da vontade sobre o intelecto
Authors: Debona Vilmar
Published: October 2018

Este pequeno artigo investiga a presença de alguns dos clássicos da literatura universal nos argumentos e provas de Schopenhauer a favor da primazia da vontade sobre o intelecto. Enfatizamos que, ale m de ter considerado como ratificadoras de seu pensamento as ciências naturais que vieram a lume ulteriormente a elaboração da sua metafísica da vontade, o pensador também insistiu que as teses centrais da sua filosofia teriam como chancela a produção artística e literária de grandes nomes. O texto apresenta, em específico, um breve mapeamento dos principais literatos que o filósofo cita no capítulo 19 do Tomo II de O mundo como vontade e representação, intitulado justamente Do primado da vontade na consciência de si, para corroborar suas afirmações. Isso não retira o pretendido caráter propedêutico do artigo, que visa uma abordagem horizontal - e não vertical - da vasta temática sobre o uso da literatura feito por Schopenhauer.

Schopenhauer e a arquitetura
Authors: Cacciola Maria Lúcia
Published: October 2018

O intuito deste texto é o de esclarecer melhor a estética schopenhaueriana por meio da exposição do que é, para ele, a arquitetura. Esta como forma de arte que lida com as forças mais primitivas da matéria, a gravidade e a resistência, estaria na base da pirâmide das artes. Porém, isto não quer dizer que ela não seja exemplar do modo de criação artística por exibir uma das principais características da Metafísica do Belo, a de que arte não é cópia, tendo uma referência muito particular ao mundo tal como o representamos. Esta peculiaridade a aproxima da mais nobre das artes, a música, que conte m o mínimo de elementos materiais.
O laboratório de Schopenhauer? Benjamin Libet e seu experimento seminal
Authors: Cardoso Renato César , Medeiros Júnior Waldir Severiano de
Published: October 2018

Estudar a filosofia de Schopenhauer sem perder de vista a nossa paisagemcientífica revela-nos conexões interessantes. Poder-se-ia facilmente encontrar muitos insights que mais tarde seriam provados relevantes em diferentes campos como na física, na biologia, na psicologia e na literatura. Foi a neurociência, entretanto, que produziu algumas das mais intrigantesconfirmações da filosofia de Schopenhauer. Suas considerações sobre o tema do livre-arbítrio encontraram provas consideráveis no conhecimento moderno do cérebro. O neurofisiologista Benjamin Libet, por exemplo, encontrou evidências científicas convincentes de que a "vontade" precede a vontade consciente, tal como sustentada há quase duzentos anos pelo pensador alemão. Minar a ideia de livre arbítrio, no entanto, traz sérios problemas para as teorias éticas e legais tradicionais. Assim, sustentamos que os emergentes campos da Neuroética e do Neurodireito poderiam ganhar muito com o tipo de solução determinista (figurada na ideia deuma imputabilidade prospectivista, ou seja, voltada para o futuro) proposto por Schopenhauer.

A tragédia como gênero literário e a negação da “justiça poética” no terceiro livro de O mundo como vontade e representação, de Schopenhauer
Authors: Rodrigues Eli Vagner Francisco
Published: October 2018

O gênero literário da tragédia é apontado por Schopenhauer, no parágrafo 51 de O mundo como vontade e representação, como a mais perfeita tradução da visão de mundo característica de sua filosofia. No capítulo citado, Schopenhauer faz uma crítica ao recurso literário denominado “Justiça poética”, apontando-o como um recurso que subverteria completamente a essência deste gênero. Este artigo apresenta uma análise dos argumentos de Schopenhauer contra o uso do recurso da justiça poética, além de apresentar, em linhas gerais, as teses de Schopenhauer sobre o gênero da tragédia em relação à sua filosofia. Para Schopenhauer, o sentido verdadeiro da tragédia reside na profunda intelecção de que os heróis não expiam os erros cometidos na ação dramática, mas que pagam, com o fatalismo final característico do gênero, pelo próprio pecado original, isto é, a culpa pela própria existência.

A interpretação de Schopenhauer do cristianismo
Authors: Germer Guilherme Marconi
Published: October 2018

Esse artigo se propõe a analisar e interpretar o pensamento de Schopenhauer sobre o cristianismo. Como toda religião, o cristianismo possui, segundo o pensador, “duas caras, uma muito amigável e outra muito obscura” (P/P II, p. 425). A primeira delas engloba, para o filósofo, as lições da “caridade, generosidade, amor ao inimigo, resignação e abnegação da Vontade, que no Ocidente são entendidas como completamente próprias do cristianismo” (P/P II, p. 428). A segunda, conforme o autor, abarca a “astúcia sacerdotal” da identificação dos mitos à verdade literal, a carência dessa religião de uma ética animal, o ofuscamento de sua ética pelas cerimônias estatuárias e pela violência religiosa contra outras religiões, a filosofia e o conhecimento, entre outros elementos. Contribuir com a distinção de ambos os lados do cristianismo - ao respeito com o primeiro e à sublimação do segundo - a partir da abordagem proposta está entre os principais objetivos desse artigo.
O problema da quarta motivação no âmbito ascético
Authors: Lima Felipe Cardoso Martins
Published: October 2018

Pretende-se apresentar neste artigo uma análise da noção de liberdade a partir da filosofia de Schopenhauer. Objetiva-se, por um lado, comentar a ideia de uma liberdade consciente no fenômeno, na qual são enaltecidos os aspectos do conhecimento do todo da vida, e, por outro, ressaltar a presença de uma Besonnenheit der Vernunft, anunciada por Schopenhauer como um meio termo entre conhecimento intuitivo e abstrato. Propõe-se, então, debater essa noção, uma vez que, embora tal Besonnenheit der Vernunft se dê no âmbito místico, serão demonstradas algumas possibilidades interpretativas, das quais se sobressalta a impossibilidade da liberdade no âmbito fenomênico, seja na esfera negativa (asceta), seja no horizonte afirmativo (conquistador de mundos). Assim, para alcançar o objetivo fundamental desse artigo, a investigação se fundamentará nos quadros principais do pensamento schopenhaueriano, a partir da análise rigorosa das três motivações das ações humanas e, em especial, de uma quarta motivação própria do asceta, apresentada no parágrafo 48 dos suplementos.
Akrasia e errância da vontade em Schopenhauer
Authors: Santana Bruno Wagner D'Almeida de Souza
Published: October 2018

Partindo do que Schopenhauer considera ser o pressuposto de toda ética, a significação interior do mundo, isto é, a diversidade que vige nas ações humanas entre a causalidade interior e a materialidade do mundo, o presente artigo recorre inicialmente à Crítica da filosofia kantiana, onde Schopenhauer afirma que Kant operou na filosofia a maior de todas as revoluções ao instaurar uma descontinuidade entre o ideal e o real, insurgindo-se assim contra o realismo filosófico, substituindo a crença na potência do intelecto pela noção de fantasia e incluindo o fator subjetivo dentre as causas da variação de humor. Mas para além do mundo mediado pela subjetividade há o mundo como vontade, onde se desenha a história trágico-cômica do mundo: a vontade não se move em direção a um objeto que justifique seu desgaste, que a recompense proporcionalmente ao esforço realizado e garanta-lhe a satisfação esperada.
Schopenhauer e os Cínicos: elementos do cinismo na eudemonologia de Schopenhauer
Authors: Chevitarese Leandro
Published: October 2018

O presente artigo pretende investigar as raízes cínicas que se fazem presentes na eudemonologia schopenhaueriana, tendo em vista a possibilidade de melhor compreender tal orientação para uma “vida menos infeliz”. Partindo da leitura que Schopenhauer desenvolve acerca da prática de vida dos cínicos, compreendida como matriz da elaboração teórica do estoicismo, pretende-se considerar quais elementos estariam significativamente presentes em sua proposta de uma “ética empírica” para enfrentar o “mal de viver”.
O uso estratégico de Schopenhauer por Nietzsche em "Para a genealogia da moral"
Authors: Paschoal Antonio Edmilson
Published: October 2018

Nosso objetivo neste artigo é apontar alguns traços do modo como ocorre a apropriação de um filósofo por outro e dos motivos que leva um filósofo a utilizar tal procedimento quando se trata de expressar suas próprias intuições. Como campo de investigação, tomaremos as passagens da terceira dissertação da Genealogia da moral, nas quais Schopenhauer é utilizado por Nietzsche, e como metodologia, retomaremos um conhecido debate, sobre a interpretação da noção kantiana de belo por Schopenhauer. O intuito de tal retomada é elencar elementos para nossa hipótese de que Nietzsche recorre ao seu antecessor na Genealogia, não para refutá-lo, mas pelos benefícios argumentativos que ele oferece para a sua crítica à moral.
Schopenhauer como educador: o esboço de misantropia filosófica de Nietzsche
Authors: Salviano Jarlee
Published: October 2018

Em 1874 Nietzsche publicou sua terceira Consideração Extemporânea – Schopenhauer como educador. Trata-se de mais um importante episódio desta complicada relação entre os dois filósofos. A filosofia schopenhaueriana, pela sua extemporaneidade, sua crítica severa e solitária à cultura da época e à filosofia universitária, serve ao jovem Nietzsche na construção do modelo ideal da nova cultura dos homens superiores, no seio da qual seria possível o engendramento do autêntico filósofo e do gênio na arte. Trata-se então de verificar os detalhes desta luta que o autor das Extemporâneas trava consigo mesmo nesta tentativa de conciliar sua veneração por Schopenhauer e sua negação de princípios metafísicos da tradição, na qual será incluída posteriormente a filosofia de Schopenhauer.
A proximidade entre gênio e loucura: um estudo sobre a estética de Schopenhauer
Authors: Green Samuel
Published: October 2018

O tratamento da estética de Schopenhauer forma um dos aspectos centrais de sua extensa visão filosófica de mundo. Apesar do tratamento ser perspicaz e sensível, a análise do gênio criativo conecta-se com o mais periférico exame da loucura no sentido em que ameaça solapar a concepção de Schopenhauer do eu. A loucura é caracterizada pela descontinuidade do self do indivíduo, que convida a uma comparação com a transição para a pura subjetividade da empírica subjetividade cotidiana durante a contemplação estética. Uma comparação com a loucura é até mais relevante para o gênio cuja exposição aos elementos sublimes da natureza está em paralelo com a exposição ao horrível que o louco é exposto. Ao comparar o princípio da loucura com o do estado estético, pode ser colocado em questão o que preserva a nossa identidade em toda a nossa mudança na subjetividade. Como Schopenhauer argumenta nosso conhecimento sobre a vontade é insuficiente, um apelo a isto como a fonte de continuidade é insatisfatório

Meu corpo, minha vontade, minha dança
Authors: Faria Daniele Da Silva
Published: October 2018

Tendo sido convidada a palestrar na quarta edição do colóquio “Para saber mais Schopenhauer”, realizado na cidade de Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil, no corrente ano, elaborei uma breve comunicação, dado o limite de tempo, sobre o conceito de corpo na teoria metafísica de Schopenhauer. No entanto, no primeiro dia desse encontro, assistimos a duas conferências acerca da metafísica do belo, especificamente a respeito da hierarquia das artes e da metafísica da música. Depois da exposição de um dos palestrantes sobre essa hierarquia, foi aberto um tempo determinado para perguntas. Nesse tempo levantei a seguinte questão: onde se situa a dança na hierarquia schopenhaueriana? Muitos dos presentes arriscaram seus palpites, especularam, mas nenhum foi provedor de uma resposta satisfatória o bastante. Como havia dois dias até a data de minha conferência no encontro, resolvi pensar essa questão e arriscar minhas próprias conclusões, ainda que prematuras.
On analogical arguments: Organizing logical and conceptual problems in sections 18 and 19 of Schopenhauer´s The World as Will and Representation
Authors: Silva Marcos
Published: October 2018

Aqui listo e organizo alguns problemas lógicos e conceituais dos parágrafos 18 (sobre a cognoscibilidade da coisa em si) e 19 (sobre a extensao deste resultado ao mundo) na obra principal de Schopenhauer. Quando Schopenhauer coloca a responsabilidade no argumento por analogia de transmitir (übertragen) a problemática identificação coisa em si/vontade, ele traz para a sua Filosofia os seguintes pontos frágeis deste argumento: (i) a invalidade lógica; (ii) a falta de critério para o alcance da extensao; (iii) a indeterminação do que está sendo realmente extendido; (iv) o caráter irrestrito da extensão analógica; (v) a natureza indireta do argumento (para evitar o solipsismo); e (vi) o colapso do que está sendo extendido. Assim tento apontar por que, apesar destes pontos frágeis, este argumento por analogia parece nao ser de forma alguma problemático para Schopenhauer.
A negação da Vontade e o ponto de ebulição da água
Authors: Bassoli Selma Aparecida
Published: October 2018

A comparação entre a negação da vontade e o ponto de ebulição da água foisugerida por Schopenhauer a fim de esclarecer a transição da compaixão à ascese. Pois estatransição só acontece quando se atinge um determinado ponto, que revela a supressão completado principium individuationis e torna possível a negação da vontade como um fenômenoindependente do princípio de razão. O nosso objetivo é demonstrar como essa comparaçãocontribui para o entendimento desse tema e quais são os limites que temos que atribuir a ela.
The interplay between self-construal, social support, and psychological adaptation of Indian immigrants’ in Greece
Authors: Kateri Evangelia , Karademas Evangelos
Published: October 2018

In the present study, the interplay between self-construal, social support and psychological adaptation of first generation Indian immigrants residing in Crete (N = 114) was examined. The first aim of the study was to analyze the association of self-construal with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem as indicators of psychological adaptation. It was hypothesized that Indian immigrants would maintain a more interdependent than independent self-construal and that Indians with high interdependent self-construal would receive more social support and have less adaptation problems compared to immigrants’ with a more independent self-construal. Furthermore, the second aim was to examine the relation of social support to self-construal, and psychological adaptation. It was hypothesized that interdependent self-construal would have positive effects on psychological adaptation through social support (mediation). A moderation effect was also hypothesized, in that social support was expected to act protectively for Indians with high interdependence, regarding psychological adaptation. The results verified some of the hypotheses but there were unexpected findings as well. Interdependence was not related to any indices of psychological adaptation, while a negative relationship was found between independent self-construal and self-esteem. Although, social support was not related either to self-construal or to adaptation, it acted as mediator in the relationship between interdependent self-construal and depression. Furthermore, a moderation effect was found on the relationship between independent self-construal and self-esteem. There are certain implications of these findings, regarding the impact of cultural values in counseling and the role of social support in immigrants’ psychological adaptation.
Behavioral science licensure: Merit and applications
Authors: Fulmer Russell , Kezele Jordan
Published: October 2018

This article provides an overview of occupational licensure as applied to the behavioral sciences. Licensure enactment is inherently an interdisciplinary phenomenon with educational, ethical, and community welfare implications. The aim of the current study is to conduct a review of the literature pertaining to licensure and compare the findings with the ethics code of the American Counseling Association. The results reveal that the common reasons given for licensure are of questionable validity. Voluntary certification is suggested as a viable alternative.

Reward associations do not explain transitive inference performance in monkeys
Authors: Jensen Greg , Alkan Yelda , Ferrera Vincent P , Terrace Herbert S
Published: October 2018

The observation that monkeys appear to make transitive inferences has been taken as evidence of their ability to form and manipulate mental representations. However, alternative explanations have been proposed arguing that transitive inference performance based on expected or experienced reward value. To test the contribution of reward value to monkeys’ behavior in TI paradigms, we performed two experiments in which we manipulated the amount of reward associated with each item in an ordered list. In these experiments, monkeys were presented with pairs of items drawn from the list, and delivered rewards if subjects selected the item with the earlier list rank. When reward magnitude was biased to favor later list items, correct responding was reduced. However, monkeys eventually learned to make correct rule-based choices despite countervailing incentives. The results demonstrate that monkeys’ performance in TI paradigms is not driven solely by expected reward, but that they are able to make appropriate inferences in the face of discordant reward associations.

Exposure of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) to persistent organic pollutants was discovered in the 1970s, but recent evidence suggests the presence of unknown toxic chemicals in their blood. Protein and phospholipid depleted serum was stirred with polyethersulfone capillaries to extract a broad range of analytes, and nontarget mass spectrometry with “fragmentation flagging” was used for detection. Hundreds of analytes were discovered belonging to 13 classes, including novel polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) metabolites and many fluorinated or chlorinated substances not previously detected. All analytes were detected in the oldest (mid‐1980s) archived polar bear serum from Hudson Bay and Beaufort Sea, and all fluorinated classes showed increasing trends. A mouse experiment confirmed the novel PCB metabolites, suggesting that these could be widespread in mammals. Historical exposure and toxic risk has been underestimated, and these halogenated contaminants pose uncertain risks to this threatened species.
Bromine‐Substituted Fluorene: Molecular Structure, Br–Br Interactions, Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence, and Tricolor Triboluminescence

Organic tribophosphorescence materials are rarely reported and the introduction of Br atoms may be a practical way to design such materials. Here four bromine‐substituted fluorene‐based derivatives are presented and BrFlu−CBr, having fluorescence‐phosphorescence dual‐emission induced not only by UV light but also by mechanical stimulus, manifests the highest phosphorescence efficiency of 4.56 % upon photoirradiation. During the grinding process, three different triboluminescent spectra were identified. Upon introduction of a mechanical stimulus, the triboluminescence emission is cyan, whereas after an extended period it changed to blue. After removing the mechanical stimulus, green‐white phosphorescent emission was observed. Careful research on single‐crystal structures and theoretical calculations demonstrate that strong Br⋅⋅⋅Br interactions are vital to facilitate spin‐orbit coupling and promote intersystem crossing, thus generating the unique properties.

Published: October 2018

In this study, effect of high‐loaded silica capsules with corrosion inhibitor on thermal degradation and self‐healing properties of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was investigated. Silica capsules were synthesized using an oil in water (O/W) microemulsion and WPU was prepared via the prepolymer method. Assembled capsules demonstrated pH dependent release of their core. Incorporating silica capsule as an inorganic component resulted to improve thermal and barrier properties of WPU coatings. WPU coating with 1% silica capsules demonstrated better barrier quality in corrosive media and adding more than that resulted a rapid deterioration in barrier properties. Furthermore, such coatings possess an excellent adhesive strength with steel substrate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used in corrosion monitoring and healing procedure. Moreover, capsule morphology and thermal degradation of the WPU coating has been investigated separately by scanning electron microscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: October 2018

To endow waterborne fluorinated polyurethanes (WFPUs), films with stable lower surface free energy and lower surface reorganization after the films contacted with water, a series of crosslinked WFPUs (CWFPUs) emulsions were prepared by adjusting the content of aziridine (AZ). The effect of crosslinking on the surface free energy, glass‐transition temperature (Tg), water absorption, and surface composition of dry/hydrated WFPUs and CWFPUs films were studied by CAs test, dynamic mechanical analysis, water absorption measurements, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. When the fluorine content was 0.5%, the surface free energy of the CWFPUs films modified by 0.4% AZ content (CWFPU‐6‐0.5‐CK0.4) reached to the lowest value of 15.76 mN m−1which almost equaled to the surface free energy (15.45 mN m−1) of the dry uncrosslinked films (WFPU‐6‐0.5). With the increasing of AZ content, theTg, hardof hard segments of the CWFPUs films increased and the water absorption of the CWFPUs films decreased, which suggested the formation of the crosslinked network structures. The studies of the surface elements and groups composition of dry/hydrated WFPUs and CWFPUs both confirmed that the surface reorganization and the migration of fluorinated side chains were restricted by the crosslinked network structures. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
