HUKUM WARIS ISLAM KONTEMPORER (PERSPEKTIF HERMENEUTIKA MUHAMMAD SYAHRÛR)
Authors: Syaekh Khaerul Ardhian
Published: February 2022

Muhammad Syahrûr is one of the contemporary Muslim intellectuals who offers a new methodology for interpreting, understanding and establishing the laws in the Qur'an. With this methodology, a rational, systematic, and comprehensive al-Qur'an can become the salih li kulli al-Qur'an of the time of wa eating. This methodology can be used as an effort to have a dialogue with the Qur'an in answering current problems and being able to accommodate changes and developments of the times. Muhammad Syahrûr did a rereading of the Qur'an with a hermeneutic approach based on a linguistic approach which he called manhaj al-tarikh. The use of the linguistic approach by Syahrûr as the method of the Qur'an cannot be separated from his assumption that the Qur'an has two miraculous sides, namely literary and scientific. The first is understood with a descriptive-significant approach while the second with a historical-scientific approach, both of which lie within the framework of linguistic studies. In terms of inheritance law, Muhammad Syahrûr is of the opinion why in the opinion of commentators, men always get double the share of women, and this is considered an axiom as evidenced by the argument that women lack reason and religion.

Impact of annual growth pattern on swelling of selected wood species
Authors: Dobrowolska Ewa , Macińska Joanna
Published: February 2022

Impact of annual growth pattern on swelling of selected wood species. Unit swelling was investigated in radial and tangential directions as well as in the intermediate directions for wood of density ranging from 300÷500 kg/m3 and 500÷700 kg/m3 and above 700 kg/m3. Species selected included pine – PNSY (Pinus sylvestris L.), oak – QCXE (Quercus. robur L.) and bangkirai – SHBL (Shorea spp.), teak – TEGR (Tectona grandis), merbau – INXX (Intsia bijuga), jatoba – HYCB (Hymenaea courbaril L). For all the studied wood species, the lowest swelling in the radial direction (0°) was found after both 2 h and 24 h of wetting in water, which increased with the angle of inclination of the annual growth and, after reaching 90°, corresponded to the maximum swelling in the tangential direction. For pine (PNSY) sapwood and heartwood and for oak (QCXE), a high swelling unit was obtained after a wetting time of 2 h, with little change after 24 h of wetting. Swelling increments for the other wood species were lower, ranging from 1% to over 2% after a wetting time of 2 h, showing slight differences between radial and tangential directions. For these wood species, after 24 h of wetting the swelling was higher and varied from more than 2% to nearly 5% in the radial direction and from more than 4% to 10% in the tangential direction. The study showed that, for high-density wood species, it becomes necessary to extend the wetting time in order to determine the actual maximum swelling per unit. The swelling anisotropy coefficients ε of the studied wood species corresponded to the values found in the literature. Higher coefficients were found for oak (QCXE) and teak (TEGR), bangkirai (SHBL) and jatoba (INXX), and were related to the characteristic features of the density structure and anatomical structure. The unit swelling values calculated with the Krzysik (1974) and Vorreiter (1949) equations may be used to assess changes in the dimensions of elements in intermediate directions. The discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical values are smaller for the unit swelling values calculated with the Vorreiter (1949) equation compared to the Krzysik (1974) equation.
Familial Mediterranean fever may actually be a persistent inflammatory process on vascular endothelium all over the body

Published: February 2022

Background: We tried to understand whether or not there is a persistent inflammatory process in Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Methods: Consecutive patients with the FMF and controls were studied. Results: The study included 39 patients with the FMF (18 females) and 39 controls. Mean age of the FMF patients was 27.5 ± 11.9 (11-58) years. Although the body weight and body mass index (BMI) were retarded in the FMF patients (64.6 versus 71.7 kg and 24.1 versus 25.7 kg/m2, respectively), the differences were nonsignificant probably due to the small sample size of the study (p>0.05). The mean body heights were similar in both groups (163.4 versus 166.8 cm, p>0.05). As negative acute phase reactants (APR), low density lipoproteins (LDL) (99.0 versus 114.3 mg/dL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) (37.5 versus 44.5 mg/dL) were suppressed whereas triglycerides (TG) increased (110.2 versus 105.1 mg/dL) as positive APR, but the differences were nonsignificant probably due to the small sample size of the study, again (p>0.05). On the other hand, systolic blood pressures (BP) (115.0 versus 124.8 mmHg, p= 0.047) and diastolic BP (79.2 versus 88.9 mmHg, p= 0.001) were suppressed parallel to the suppressed body weight and BMI, significantly. Conclusion: Although the FMF is described as intermittent attacks of painful inflammation, probably there is a persistent vascular endothelial inflammation all over the body. The suppressed body weight, BMI, LDL, HDL, and systolic and diastolic BP and the increased TG levels probably play roles of positive and negative APR in the systemic inflammatory process. Key words: Familial Mediterranean fever, chronic endothelial damage, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, acute phase reactants, triglycerides, blood pressure.

Foram tomados como referência livros da Coleção Educadores. Apresentaremos, inicialmente, uma breve biografia de Decroly e Piaget, em seguida, de modo resumido, adentraremos em suas questões de estudo e, finalmente, apontaremos alguns aspectos das possíveis aproximações entre suas pesquisas e/ou metodologias.
Um Compressor de Arquivos Paralelo Compatível com o Bzip2
Authors: Nascimento Vinicius Dalto do , Vercillo Davi , Silva Gabriel Pereira da
Published: February 2022

No cenário atual da computação verifica-se um aumento crescente da capacidade dos sistemas de armazenamento. Com isso, o desenvolvimento de ferramentas para a compressão rápida e eficiente de um grande número de arquivos, com tamanhos também cada vez maiores, se torna uma necessidade urgente. Simultaneamente, a ampla disponibilidade de recursos computacionais com múltiplos processadores, seja em um único computador, seja em um ambiente de rede, viabiliza o uso de aplicações paralelas para o atendimento dessa demanda. Este trabalho apresenta um compressor de arquivos paralelo, em que o trabalho de compressão é distribuído através de diversos processadores locais e remotos. São apresentadas duas versões desse compressor: uma que utiliza o paradigma de memória compartilhada e outra o de troca de mensagens. O uso de um servidor de arquivos paralelos, junto com rotinas do MPI-I/O, foi a solução encontrada para melhorar o desempenho do sistema de E/S, normalmente um gargalo nesse tipo de aplicação. Para verificar e validar o desempenho das implementações desenvolvidas, foram analisados diversos cenários e feitas comparações com os resultados de um compressor paralelo apresentado em um trabalho correlato.

Published: February 2022

A popularização do uso de vídeo digital nas mais diferentes mídias tornou o processo de codificação de vídeo fundamental por permitir a redução da quantidade de dados a serem transmitidos e armazenados sem perda significativa de qualidade. Neste processo, a etapa de estimação de movimento é a que requer maior tempo de processamento, existindo diferentes algoritmos para implementa-la. Este trabalho apresenta o uso de técnicas e ferramentas de multiprogramação leve (OpenMP) em arquiteturas multi-core para a realização da estimação de movimento. Os resultados das implementações, explorando o paralelismo de diversas formas, são apresentados e discutidos. Os experimentos apontam que o algoritmo Full Search ofereceu os melhores ganhos de desempenho com tempo de processamento, 54.54% menor que a versão seqüencial.

Published: February 2022

Arquiteturas NUMA possuem latência e largura de banda assimétricas devido a existência de múltiplos níveis hierárquicos de memória no sistema. Para garantir desempenho neste tipo de arquitetura torna-se necessário garantir a afinidade de memória nas aplicações. Os sistemas operacionais, com suporte para arquiteturas NUMA, possuem políticas para alocação e escalonamento de memória e threads que visam a afinidade de memória. Entretanto, essas políticas não apresentam sempre o melhor desempenho para todos os tipos de aplicações. Ferramentas e APIs, presentes nestes sistemas operacionais, permitem gerenciar explicitamente a afinidade de memória nas aplicações. Neste trabalho será apresentado a avaliação de desempenho de diferentes estratégias para gerenciamento explícito de afinidade de memória, implementadas com APIs do sistema operacional em aplicações paralelas. Essas estratégias foram implementadas em uma aplicação sísmica e em kernels do Benchmark NAS e executadas em diferentes arquiteturas NUMA. Os resultados mostram a importância de garantir a afinidade de memória em arquiteturas NUMA (ganho médio de até 80%) e que isso pode ser obtido através de APIs do sistema operacional.
Uma Abordagem para Composição de Clusters Eficientes na Execução do Modelo Numérico WRF de Previsão do Tempo
Authors: Pinto Luiz C. , Tomazella Luiz H. B. , Dantas M. A. R.
Published: February 2022

A resolução de problemas conhecidos por grand challenge, como é o caso da previsão do tempo por meio de modelos numéricos, demandam computação de alto desempenho. Apesar da consolidação dos clusters como solução para prover alto desempenho, a escolha dos computadores que o compõe está submetida à variabilidade das configurações disponíveis no mercado. De fato, a inserção de processadores multi-core em ambientes de cluster cria um cenário distinto no que diz respeito à comunicação entre processos. Nesse contexto, propõe-se uma abordagem em que alguns núcleos de processamento não são alocados a processos da aplicação, com o intuito de construir clusters econômicos mas também eficientes, interconectados por Gigabit Ethernet em alternativa a redes de interconexão como Myrinet e lnfiniband. Experimentos com o modelo numérico de previsão do tempo WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting Model) e o algoritmo de granularidade fina IS do NAS Parallel Benchmarks, revelaram redução de mais de 20% no tempo de execução. Portanto, os resultados empíricos indicam um ganho expressivo no desempenho de um mesmo cluster quando configurado segundo a abordagem proposta, provando a pertinência deste trabalho.
Controle de Granularidade com threads em Programas MPI Dinâmicos
Authors: Lima João Vicente F. , Maillard Nicolas
Published: February 2022

O controle de granularidade é um fator importante no desempenho de programas paralelos. Problemas estáticos adaptam sua granularidade pela decomposição e atribuição de dados a cada tarefa, mas em irregulares não é possível prever a carga de trabalho antes da execução. Os irregulares que utilizam decomposição recursiva, como ordenação, necessitam de dinamismo com suporte a criação de tarefas sob demanda. Alguns ambientes de programação, como Cilk e KAAPI, oferecem dinamismo e trabalham com granularidade através do conceito abstrato de tarefa porém possuem limitações que dificultam seu uso em PAD. O MPI, padrão de fato em PAD, oferece dinamismo de processos e uso de threads mas atribui à implementação especificar o comportamento na criação de uma tarefa. Este trabalho propõe investigar as vantagens no controle de granularidade com threads em programas MPI dinâmicos, através da substituição da criação de processos por tarefas onde um mecanismo (libSpawn) decide entre lançar processo(s) ou thread(s). Os resultados obtidos com o programa de ordenação Cilksort, que segue o modelo Divisão-e-Conquista, demonstram ganhos de até 85% em criação de tarefas e comunicação.

Published: February 2022

Nas últimas décadas, a transformação nos meios e formas de comunicação vêm impulsionando uma grande diversificação de dispositivos na área de comunicação de dados. Essa transformação é possível, sobretudo, em decorrência do desenvolvimento da microeletrônica e dos sistemas embarcados. Apesar da grande evolução ocorrida nos equipamentos em si, ainda existe uma carência no que diz respeito aos testes e validações dos mesmos. Várias RFCs (Request for Comments) já foram escritas objetivando a definição de uma metodologia para benchmarking, mas a maioria são tipicamente implementadas através de software e os equipamentos para esse fim, disponíveis no mercado, possuem um alto custo agregado. Porém, com a necessidade crescente de aumento da vazão, muitos desses testes ficam restritos, já que o software não consegue atingir os requisitos de vazão e latência necessários. Assim, esse trabalho tem como principal objetivo implementar os testes descritos na RFC 2544 em hardware. Os resultados mostram que essa abordagem é bastante eficiente e flexível, tendo em vista que não é necessário o uso de um sistema operacional e aplicativos de alto nível.

Authors: Kronbauer Fernando , Rigo Sandro
Published: February 2022

Devido à grande disseminação recente de arquiteturas paralelas, mais e mais programadores são expostos aos problemas relacionados ao uso dos mecanismos tradicionais de controle de concorrência. Memórias transacionais têm sido propostas como um meio de aliviar as dificuldades encontradas ao escreverem-se programas paralelos. Neste trabalho exploramos um sistema de memória transacional em software (STM), apresentando uma abordagem nova para gerenciar a contenção entre transações, que leva em consideração os padrões de acesso aos diferentes dados de um programa ao escolher o gerenciador de contenção usado para o acesso a estes dados. Elaboramos uma modificação da plataforma de STM que nos permite realizar esta associação entre dados e gerenciamento de contenção, e realizamos uma caracterização baseada nos padrões de acesso aos dados de um programa executando em diferentes sistemas de computação.

Published: February 2022

Em problemas de categorização automática de texto com um grande número de rótulos, as bases de dados de treinamento são grandes, o que pode tornar proibitivo o tempo de categorização para sistemas on-line. Neste trabalho avaliamos a implementação paralela em C+CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) de um categorizador multi-rótulo de texto baseado no algoritmo k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors). Nós implementamos este algoritmo de duas formas: seqüencial em C e paralela em C+CUDA. Nossos resultados experimentais mostram que, com o uso de GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) e C+CUDA, são possíveis ganhos de desempenho da ordem de 65 vezes o desempenho seqüencial alcançado com CPUs.
Análise de desempenho do sistema de arquivos Lustre sob padrões de acesso a dados exclusivos
Authors: Boito Francieli Zanon , Kassick Rodrigo Virote , Navaux Philippe O. A.
Published: February 2022

Aplicações que executam em ambientes de cluster frequentemente geram grandes quantidades de dados, que podem precisar ser acessados de forma eficiente por todos os nós envolvidos na computação. Sistemas de arquivos distribuídos (SADs) constituem uma solução natural nesse caso. Dependendo das suas opções de projeto, esses sistemas podem apresentar variados comportamentos sob diferentes padrões de acesso. Assim, estudar como se comporta o desempenho de um SAD sob padrões de acesso verificados na prática é uma tarefa importante, pois fornece ferramentas para que as aplicações possam adequar as suas operações de E/S para tirar melhor proveito do sistema utilizado. Um desses padrões comuns em aplicações científicas é o acesso pelos nós a dados exclusivos. Duas formas de fazê-lo são empregar um arquivo por processo, ou segmentos de um arquivo compartilhado. Esse artigo apresenta um estudo sobre o comportamento do sistema de arquivos Lustre nessas situações, a fim de determinar a que deve ser preferida em cada caso. Para realizar o estudo, foram realizados testes que simulam os padrões de acesso. Os resultados permitiram concluir que, para operações de escrita com números grandes de clientes, a abordagem de arquivos múltiplos é a melhor. No entanto, para outras situações, ela se mostra equivalente e até pior que a de arquivo compartilhado.

Published: February 2022

We developed two parallel versions of the Constant Space Belief Propagation algorithm (CSBP - one of the best stereo algorithms currently known) [1]: one in OpenMP and one in C+CUDA. For images with 640x480 pixels, the sequential version has a performance of 1.16 frames per second (FPS), the OpenMP parallel version has a performance of 3.7 FPS, while the C+CUDA version has a performance of 17.3 FPS in high-performance desktop machines. These results are important because they enable the implementation of autonomous vehicles with sensors like camera, which is one of the objectives of a PRONEX project being currently developed in LCADDI/ UFES. One of the goals of this project is to implement an autonomous vehicle from a commercial automobile.

Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Pharmacotherapy in Pain Management in Patients with Chronic Pain
Authors: Lotfi Jabali Atefeh , Mojtabaei Mina , Mirhashemi Malek
Published: February 2022

Background: A variety of pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods are used to treat chronic pain. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) through stimulating the central and peripheral nerves is a different and promising method for the treatment of chronic pain. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of tDCS and pharmacotherapy in pain management in patients with chronic pain in Tehran, Iran. Methods: The present study followed a clinical trial design. The statistical population comprised all patients with chronic pain who were referred to Pardis Multidisciplinary Pain Clinic in Tehran within 2020 - 21. A total of 60 patients willing to participate in the study were selected using convenience sampling. The participants were randomly divided into three groups, including pharmacotherapy (treatment by gabapentin with a dosage of 600 mg twice per day), tDCS, and control (n = 20 per group). The research instrument included the McGill Pain Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance with SPSS software (version 24.0). Results: The results showed that both pharmacotherapy and tDCS interventions led to a reduction in the mean scores of pain management components, compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the effects of the two experimental groups on pain management components. Conclusions: The tDCS and pharmacotherapy were both shown to be effective in pain management in patients with chronic pain. Therefore, in addition to pharmacotherapy, tDCS is also recommended for the treatment of chronic pain.
Increased ERCP volume improves cholangiogram interpretation: a new performance measure for ERCP training?
Authors: Vedantam Shyam , Amin Sunil , Maher Ben , Ahmad Saqib , Kadir Shanil , Niaz Saad Khalid , Wright Mark , Tehami Nadeem
Published: February 2022

Background/Aims: Cholangiogram interpretation is not used as a key performance indicator (KPI) of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) training, and national societies recommend different minimum numbers per annum to maintain competence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between correct ERCP cholangiogram interpretation and experience.Methods: One hundred fifty ERCPists were surveyed to appropriately interpret ERCP cholangiographic findings. There were three groups of 50 participants each: “Trainees,” “Consultants group 1” (performed >75 ERCPs per year), and “Consultants group 2” (performed >100 ERCPs per year).Results: Trainees was inferior to Consultants groups 1 and 2 in identifying all findings except choledocholithiasis outside the intrahepatic duct on the initial or completion/occlusion cholangiogram. Consultants group 1 was inferior to Consultants group 2 in identifying Strasberg type A bile leaks (odds ratio [OR], 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77–0.96), Strasberg type B (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.74–0.95), and Bismuth type 2 hilar strictures (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69–0.95).Conclusions: This investigation supports the notion that cholangiogram interpretation improves with increased annual ERCP case volumes. Thus, a higher annual volume of procedures performed may improve the ability to correctly interpret particularly difficult findings. Cholangiogram interpretation, in addition to bile duct cannulation, could be considered as another KPI of ERCP training.

Soulages, Michaux, Malraux y Vieira da Silva, amigos e inspiradores de Zao Wou-Ki
Authors: Yamada Satoru
Published: February 2022

Zao Wou-Ki (1921-2013) es un pintor chino reconocido internacionalmente. Intentando alejarse del convencionalismo del arte en China, decidió instalarse en París. Pero allí, después de conocer la obra de Paul Cézanne y Paul Klee, Zao empieza a reconciliarse la tradición china: el signo y el qui, como estilo de su obra, pero hay algo más.
Cuando llegó a París, Zao consiguió conocer a muchos artistas emergentes que dejarían huella en la Historia de Arte que van a ser los precursores de su camino artístico. Ellos contribuyeron en la recuperación de sus raíces. Sobre ello, no hay una investigación profunda, y es por lo que la abordo. El hecho de que Zao trabajara con numerosos poetas tras la colaboración con Henri Michaux me recuerda la estética china “coincidencia entre el poema y la pintura”. Me voy a centrar en su colaboración con los poetas para investigar su arte por esta circunstancia. De otra parte, estudiaré el qui, espacio pictórico chino, porque considero que Zao cogió la chispa de Pierre Soulages. Soulages compartía la idea del espacio y la luz con Zao, por eso analizaré los diálogos del pintor francés.
Empowering Education for Sustainable Futures
Authors: Als Jesper Marius
Published: February 2022

This paper positions the role of quality education in the historical and current development paradigm in a global context under the Sustainable Development Goals. I revisit empowering theories and the whole concept of development and connect it to the present. Can such theories guide us in the debate on the future of education? Finally, I reflect on whether my current workplace, a Danish University College, and similar education institutions are at all obliged to tackle global challenges. If so, how can such institutions position themselves to play an essential role in the futures to come? Are there any common denominators in design and content? I draw on my background as a historian and my master’s degree in International Relations. From a practical perspective, I draw on what I learned from 15 years of experience working with internationalization and development, both within the UN system, private companies, and later as responsible for large-scale education programs and projects in more than 36 countries. I also draw on six years of experience as chairperson of a Danish NGO working with child protection, alternative care, and deinstitutionalization. Most importantly, I draw on experience as a concerned father of two kids who will be affected by, and dependent on, our current actions.
Uengageret og ligeglad?
Authors: Steno Anne Mia
Published: February 2022

Resumé Artiklen bygger på empiri fra et antropologisk feltarbejde blandt unge voksne med psykiske diagnoser, der bor på §107 socialpædagogiske botilbud. Med udgangspunkt i tre feltnoteuddrag der udspiller sig omkring beboermøder og fælles madlavningssituationer, diskuterer artiklen, hvordan det, der umiddelbart kan genkendes som ”uengagerede og ligeglade unge”, også kan forstås som unge, der på forskellige måder forsøger at skabe ståsteder i et rum, hvor de på den ene side er inviteret til demokratisk deltagelse, men på den anden side positioneres i et pædagogisk opdragende rum. I den forbindelse laver artiklen analytiske nedslag i forhold til, hvordan rum for deltagelse, på trods af gode pædagogiske intentioner, kan opleves irrelevante og udenfor rækkevidde, samt hvordan beboerne protesterer imod de pædagogiske krav om udvikling og deltagelse med undvigelser og tavshed.

Abstract Uninvolved and indifferent? – navigations in social pedagogical housing for young peopleThe article is based on empirical data from anthropological fieldwork among young adults, who live in housing facilities for people with severe mental disorders. Drawing on three field note excerpts that take place around residents’ meetings and common cooking situations, the article discusses, how actions that may easily be written off as belonging to ”uncommitted and indifferent young people”, can also be understood as agency belonging to young people who in various ways try to create positions in a space where they, on the one hand, are invited to democratic participation, but on the other hand, are positioned in a pedagogically educational space. The article is centered around two themes; respectively how space for participation, despite good pedagogical intentions, may be perceived as irrelevant and out of reach – and how the young residents may respond to the pedagogical requirements for development and participation with evasions and avoidance mechanisms.

Moesgaard With its taking over of Moesgaard, south of Aarhus, the Forhistorisk Museum has taken the first step in a comprehensive programme already proposed by Professor P. V. Glob in 1950. As the Jutland Archeological Society will also find a place here it is reasonable that KUML introduces its readers to its new home.The main building was erected in the 1780s by the architect Zuber, who was a pupil of Jardin, and the grounds, including perhaps the first Romantic garden in Denmark, carry on the Neoclassical lines of the building in allees and clearings stretching all the way to the sea.The whole of the main building will go to house the growing staff of technicians and research workers, while the side buildings to the south will be occupied by the conservation department, lecture and store rooms and the hall for special exhibitions. The north wing will be extended to house the permanent display galleries.The 250 acres of park, woodland and seashore will give room for the establishment of an open-air museum where prehistoric cultures can be illustrated from other sides than are possible in exhibition galleries. Here ancient monuments condemned to destruction by the construction of roads and the spread of towns can be reerected, some in a special "monument park", but others in natural association with experimental reconstructions of prehistoric houses, fields, leaf-pasturage, smithies and the like. The ecology of the various prehistoric periods will be reproduced in limited portions of the woods and of the adjacent fields, and there archeologists will be able to try out their theories in practice.These will include reconstruction of houses and farms, from the flimsy huts of the Stone­Age hunters to the stave-built longhouses and small pit-dwellings of the Viking Period. Agriculture and stock-raising of various types and periods will also be taken up on an experimental basis. The results of these experiments cannot be forecast in advance, but the experiments with slash-and-burn cultivation in Draved Wood, and of iron smelting at Drengsted and Varde Steelworks show how fruitful cooperation between archeologists, natural scientists and technicians can be.Thus by following the woodland paths around Moesgaard the visitor will be able to wander through Denmark's prehistory, and experience something of the milieu which prehistoric man formed though the millennia of Denmark's oldest history.

Baja voluntaria en cooperativa de viviendas por incumplimiento en la entrega de la vivienda y responsabilidad de la entidad avalista. Comentario a la Sentencia 1262/2021, de 29 de marzo, Sala de lo Civil del Tribunal Supremo
Authors: Arrieta Idiakez Francisco Javier
Published: February 2022

En esta sentencia se abordan las consecuencias de unas bajas voluntarias, con motivo del incumplimiento de la entrega de las viviendas por la cooperativa a los socios, que son calificadas como justificadas por el órgano de administración. En concreto, el objeto del litigio trae causa del hecho de que la entidad avalista considera esa circunstancia como mutuo disenso que le libera de tener que devolver las cantidades aportadas por los socios a la cooperativa. Por el contrario, los socios que reclaman sus aportaciones a dicha entidad se oponen a tal pretensión.
El capital social en la sociedad cooperativa, las aportaciones no dinerarias y la demanda de su reembolso. A propósito de la STS, civil, de 6 de julio de 2021
Authors: Paniagua Zurera Manuel
Published: February 2022

Una controversia indebidamente judicializada entre dos socios expulsados de su sociedad cooperativa de trabajo asociado de enseñanza, de la que fueron socios fundadores y administradores, permiten a la Audiencia Provincial de Murcia y a la Sala de lo Civil del Tribunal Supremo analizar la institución del capital social en la cooperativa. En términos más novedosos, estas resoluciones judiciales profundizan en la noción de aportación social en el Derecho de sociedades de capital y el Derecho de sociedades cooperativas: las prestaciones de bienes o derechos valorables económicamente (o patrimoniales) y transmisibles. Así como en el régimen de las aportaciones no dinerarias y, en especial, en la ineptitud de las prestaciones de trabajo o servicios como aportaciones no dinerarias al capital social de una sociedad cooperativa. El estudio aporta, asimismo, reflexiones de interés sobre las funciones del capital social en la cooperativa.
An updated suprageneric classification of planktic foraminifera after growing evidence of multiple benthic-planktic transitions
Authors: Arenillas Ignacio , Arz José Antonio , Gilabert Vicente
Published: February 2022

Planktic foraminifera have traditionally been classified within a single order: Globigerinida. However, recent phylogenetic studies, both molecular and stratophenetic, are evidencing the polyphyletic origin of planktic foraminifera from several benthic ancestors. At least four independent events of benthic-planktic transition have been identified. One of them occurred after the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary mass extinction, originating the first Cenozoic globigerinids. Another three occurred in the Mesozoic, originating three groups of planktic foraminifera (globotruncanids, heterohelicids and guembelitriids) not related phylogenetically to each other or to current globigerinids. These findings make it necessary to carry out an exhaustive review of their suprageneric systematics, mainly at the order level. Here we propose a new, more natural classification, grouping them into four orders: Globigerinida, Heterohelicida, Globotruncanida n. ord., and Guembelitriida n. ord. To better reflect the diversity and phylogeny of planktic foraminifera, we have also defined two new superfamilies: Abathomphaloidea n. superfam. and Parvularugoglobigerinoidea n. superfam., and one new family: Parvularuglobigerinidae n. fam.

Declining bone mass is associated with aging and osteoporosis, a disease characterized by progressive weakening of the skeleton and increased fracture incidence. Growth and lifelong homeostasis of bone rely on interactions between different cell types including vascular cells and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). As these interactions involve Notch signaling, we have explored whether treatment with secreted Notch ligand proteins can enhance osteogenesis in adult mice. We show that a bone-targeting, high affinity version of the ligand Delta-like 4, termed Dll4(E12), induces bone formation in male mice without causing adverse effects in other organs, which are known to rely on intact Notch signaling. Due to lower bone surface and thereby reduced retention of Dll4(E12), the same approach failed to promote osteogenesis in female and ovariectomized mice but strongly enhanced trabecular bone formation in combination with parathyroid hormone. Single cell analysis of stromal cells indicates that Dll4(E12) primarily acts on MSCs and has comparably minor effects on osteoblasts, endothelial cells, or chondrocytes. We propose that activation of Notch signaling by bone-targeted fusion proteins might be therapeutically useful and can avoid detrimental effects in Notch-dependent processes in other organs.

Background:

Chronic Q fever is a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii which can manifest as infection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Antibiotic therapy often fails, resulting in severe morbidity and high mortality. Whereas previous studies have focused on inflammatory processes in blood, the aim of this study was to investigate local inflammation in aortic tissue.

Methods:

Multiplex immunohistochemistry was used to investigate local inflammation in Q fever AAAs compared to atherosclerotic AAAs in aorta tissue specimen. Two six-plex panels were used to study both the innate and adaptive immune systems.

Results:

Q fever AAAs and atherosclerotic AAAs contained similar numbers of CD68+ macrophages and CD3+ T cells. However, in Q fever AAAs, the number of CD68+CD206+ M2 macrophages was increased, while expression of GM-CSF was decreased compared to atherosclerotic AAAs. Furthermore, Q fever AAAs showed an increase in both the number of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and CD3+CD8-FoxP3+ regulatory T cells. Finally, Q fever AAAs did not contain any well-defined granulomas.

Conclusions:

These findings demonstrate that despite the presence of pro-inflammatory effector cells, persistent local infection with C. burnetii is associated with an immune-suppressed microenvironment.

Authors: Kumar Paras , Saha Susmita , Arora Gaurav , Aneja Prachi Saffar
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Bicipital Groove (BG) represents an indentation on the proximal humerus which lodges tendon of Long Head of Biceps (LHB) brachii with synovial sheath. It’s medial and lateral walls are formed by lesser and greater tubercles respectively and the transverse humeral ligament converts it into a tunnel. Aim: To find a detailed morphometry attributing to morphological classification of BG among North Indian population. Materials and Methods: The present observational study was conducted over a period of one year on 100 adult intact dry humerii of unknown sexes obtained from Osteology Museum, Department of Anatomy, Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary (SGT) University, Gurugram, Haryana, India for several morphometric parameters like length, width, depth, length of medial and lateral walls as per descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. The BG was classified according to the depth, opening angle and medial wall angles. Morphological features like Supratubercular Ridge (STR) of Meyer’s, bony spur on the floor of the groove or thickening of the walls were also observed and the frequency distribution was presented and Independent t-test was applied to compare the parameters on both sides. Results: Out of 100 sample, the mean of each parameter was length 72.98±7.54 mm, width 9.12±2.18.mm, depth 5.49±1.56 mm, medial wall and lateral wall length 54.83±8.62 mm and 60.82±8.01 mm respectively, opening angle 72.27±18.12º and medial angle 65.27±10.71º. Mostly BG had a depth of 4-6 mm with an incidence of 48%. Opening angle of BG was small (<95º) in 84% of humerus and maximum belonged to type 1 (90º to 75º) variety. Around 34% bones were showing morphological changes, out of which STR was 47.05%, bony spur on the floor of BG was 20.58% with wall thickening in 32.35% of total humerus. Conclusion: The detailed morphometry and classification of BG will serve as a reference base for North Indian population. It will be also useful for the clinicians as they should be well verged with the various morphological appearances of BG among dry bones and radiographs for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction: Pregnancy is a physiological state that causes a variety of changes in the mouth cavity, as well as other physiological changes throughout the female body. Some of the modifications typically seen in pregnant women include gingival hyperplasia, gingivitis, pyogenic granulomas, and other salivary alterations.

Objectives of the Study: The main objective of our study is to find the management of acute dental pain oral health challenges faced by the pregnant women in Pakistan. Because like other systems of the body oral system also face many problems during pregnancy in women.

Methodology of the Study: A cross-sectional survey of pregnant women attending the Punjab Dental Hospital, Lahore during 2020 to 2021. A convenience sample of 100 pregnant women was invited to participate by a dental assistant.

Results: We select 100 patients for our study and these are pregnant women who completed the survey. The mean age of the participants ranged from 16 to 40 years. More than half (59.3%) reported dental problems during pregnancy, less than a third (30.5%) saw a dentist in the last six months, only 10% had received any information about perinatal oral health and many (>50%) were unaware of the potential impact of poor maternal oral health on pregnancy and infant outcomes.

Conclusion: The present study indicates that the oral health status is not appropriate among the pregnant women. On the other hand, the high prevalence of dental plaque, poor periodontal condition and unsatisfied treatment require a preventive population based strategy with an emphasis on the improvement of the oral self-care for the pregnant women.
