Can Econometrics Rescue “The Economics”?
Authors: Siddique Muhammad Zahid
Published: February 2021

Economists disagree; this is a matter of fact. Economics has an empirical methodology to verify whatever theories economists from different schools of thought advance in order to explain the economic phenomenon. This empirical methodology lends economists the confidence that most of the differences among them can be reconciled overtime by employing this methodology. If not today, future development either in economic theorization or estimation techniques may help them settle their internal conflicts. This paper argues that disagreements among economists are deeper than they are usually conceived of. These disagreements are spread over the entire spectrum of scientific theorization, i.e., explanation, prediction and control aspects of economics. Economists disagree neither because their understanding about economic functioning is imperfect nor because their econometric tool-kit of verifying their theories is limited; instead several deeply rooted reasons leave them divided on matters of economic theory and policy. It is argued that disagreements among economists are so deep that they become almost irreconcilable. Economics will continue as a rhetoric activity where different economists make use of authorities, stories, logic and metaphor to persuade each other.

Multi-scale characterization of glaucophane from Chiavolino (Biella, Italy): implications for international regulations on elongate mineral particles
Authors: Vigliaturo Ruggero , Elkassas Sabrina M. , Della Ventura Giancarlo , Redhammer Günther J. , Ruiz-Zepeda Francisco , O'Shea Michael J. , Dražić Goran , Gieré Reto
Published: February 2021

Abstract. In this paper, we present the results of a multi-analytical characterization
of a glaucophane sample collected in the Piedmont region of northwestern
Italy. Investigation methods included optical microscopy, powder X-ray
diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, µ-Raman
spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis,
environmental scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy, and scanning/transmission electron microscopy combined with
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. In
addition to the crystal–chemical characterization of the sample from the
mesoscale to the near-atomic scale, we have also conducted an extended study
on the morphology and dimensions of the mineral particles. The main finding
is that studying the same particle population at different magnifications
yields different results for mineral habit, dimensions, and dimensional
distributions. As glaucophane may occur as an elongate mineral particle
(e.g., asbestiform glaucophane occurrences in California and Nevada), the
observed discrepancies therefore need to be considered when assessing
potential breathability of such particles, with implications for future
regulations on elongate mineral particles. While the sample preparation and
particle counting methods are not directly investigated in this work, our
findings suggest that different magnifications should be used when
characterizing an elongate mineral particle population, irrespective of
whether or not it contains asbestiform material. These results further
reveal the need for developing improved regulation for elongate mineral
particles. We thus propose a simple methodology to merge the datasets
collected at different magnifications to provide a more complete description
and a better risk evaluation of the studied particle population.
A daily, 250 m and real-time gross primary productivity product (2000–present) covering the contiguous United States
Authors: Jiang Chongya , Guan Kaiyu , Wu Genghong , Peng Bin , Wang Sheng
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Gross primary productivity (GPP) quantifies the amount of
carbon dioxide (CO2) fixed by plants through photosynthesis. Although
as a key quantity of terrestrial ecosystems, there is a lack of
high-spatial-and-temporal-resolution, real-time and observation-based GPP
products. To address this critical gap, here we leverage a state-of-the-art
vegetation index, near-infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRV), along
with accurate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), to produce a
SatelLite Only Photosynthesis Estimation (SLOPE) GPP product for the
contiguous United States (CONUS). Compared to existing GPP products, the
proposed SLOPE product is advanced in its spatial resolution (250 m versus
>500 m), temporal resolution (daily versus 8 d), instantaneity
(latency of 1 d versus >2 weeks) and quantitative
uncertainty (on a per-pixel and daily basis versus no uncertainty
information available). These characteristics are achieved because of
several technical innovations employed in this study: (1) SLOPE couples
machine learning models with MODIS atmosphere and land products to
accurately estimate PAR. (2) SLOPE couples highly efficient and pragmatic
gap-filling and filtering algorithms with surface reflectance acquired by
both Terra and Aqua MODIS satellites to derive a soil-adjusted NIRV
(SANIRV) dataset. (3) SLOPE couples a temporal pattern recognition
approach with a long-term Cropland Data Layer (CDL) product to predict dynamic
C4 crop fraction. Through developing a parsimonious model with only two
slope parameters, the proposed SLOPE product explains 85 % of the spatial
and temporal variations in GPP acquired from 49 AmeriFlux eddy-covariance
sites (324 site years), with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of
1.63 gC m−2 d−1. The median R2 over C3 and C4 crop sites reaches 0.87
and 0.94, respectively, indicating great potentials for monitoring crops, in
particular bioenergy crops, at the field level. With such a satisfactory
performance and its distinct characteristics in spatiotemporal resolution
and instantaneity, the proposed SLOPE GPP product is promising for
biological and environmental research, carbon cycle research, and a broad
range of real-time applications at the regional scale. The archived dataset
is available at https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1786 (download

The bed in images of the Annunciation (14th-15th centuries): An iconographic interpretation according to Latin Patristics
Authors: Salvador-González Jos´é María
Published: February 2021

The images of the Annunciation of the 14th and 15th centuries often include in their scene a bed with evident prominence, which allows us to conjecture that this piece of furniture contains some symbolism of particular relevance. Given such unusual detail, this article seeks to interpret the possible doctrinal meanings that this bed could provide. In this sense, twelve Annunciations of this period, which include a bed, are analyzed first with a personal interpretation that stands against some inadequate “interpretations” proposed by other modern authors. We will try to justify our interpretations based on an abundant corpus of texts through which many Latin Fathers and theologians see the thalamus concept as two complementary metaphors: a metaphor of God Son’s incarnation in Mary's womb, and also a metaphor of Mary’s virgin divine motherhood.

La Escritura en la moneda: un reflejo del poder político y religioso en el occidente medieval
Authors: De Francisco Olmos Jos´é María
Published: February 2021

Desde la creación de la moneda en el ámbito occidental, en la zona del Mar Egeo en el siglo VII a.C., esta pequeña pieza de metal se convirtió en el mejor instrumento de intercambio comercial, pero a la vez se transformó en un potente medio de propaganda política y religiosa, siempre controlado de forma férrea por el poder emisor de la moneda, que quiso plasmar unos mensajes específicos y muy claros en las leyendas monetarias que acompañaban a su iconografía, no dejando nada al azar. Este mensaje político y religioso llegó a su cima en la época medieval, en los tres grandes ámbitos mediterráneos, la Europa occidental, el Imperio bizantino y el Islam. Cada zona tuvo sus peculiaridades, pero en todas predominaron estos mensajes, que estudiaremos en este trabajo para el primero de ellos, la Europa occidental, viendo algunos ejemplos que muestran la importancia de estos mensajes monetarios durante los mil años que transcurren desde la caída del Imperio Romano de Occidente hasta los inicios del siglo XVI. Veremos cómo el poder político en sus distintos escalones afianzó un mensaje de propiedad y exclusividad, destinado tanto a los súbditos de ese poder, como a sus enemigos o vecinos, ya que en estos siglos la moneda es sin duda el objeto que más viaja, tanto en rapidez como en distancia, y todo el que llega a tenerla en sus manos debe identificarlas para conocer su verdadero valor económico y, por tanto, está obligado también a entender el significado de sus tipos y leyendas.

Investigating Online Social Media Network Acceptance in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry in Oman
Authors: Al-Hajri Salim , Echchabi Abdelghani , Omar Mohammed Mispah Said , Ayedh Abdullah Mohammed
Published: February 2021

In the emerging tourism and hospitality industries such as that of Oman, companies can market their services and products using the Social Media Networks (hereafter SMNs) and engage customers to identify their requirements online. Oman recognizes the benefits of SMNs in the tourism and hospitality industry and it has made major efforts to ensure the success of this newly introduced industry like its neighboring country the United Arab Emirates (hereafter UAE). Even though, the hospitality industry is vital to the economy of Oman, the Omani hospitality industry continues employing the conventional approach while conducting transactions. Understanding the influence of accepting such an innovation in the hospitality industry in Oman raises a fruitful research question to investigate. Therefore, it is this study’s objective to examine the influence of SMNs Acceptance in the tourism and hospitality industry in Oman. For the attainment of the study’s objective, the study uses a survey questionnaire to 200 respondents that have visited Oman recently, where 182 responses were properly filled and returned. The structural equation modeling (hereafter SEM) had been utilized to analyze the collected data. The results reveal that the respondents had high degree of satisfaction with their travel experience and they intended to continue using SMNs for tourism purposes. Nonetheless, it was found that the major factors influencing their decisions are: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norms and reliability.

Challenges of Male Contraceptive Uptake in Indonesia: Opinion of Married Couples
Authors: Irawaty Dian Kristiani , Gayatri Maria
Published: February 2021

For more than a decade, the adoption of male contraceptive methods in Indonesia was very low compared to female methods. Yet, in some settings family planning programs focused heavily on female contraceptive services, while male contraceptive services tend to be ignorant. Information from both husbands and wives is needed to obtain an accurate understanding of contraceptive use-behavior within married-couples. Hence, the objective of this study is to investigate factors associated with male contraceptive use among Indonesian couples. This study uses the couple-matched data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The analytical sample included 8,427 couples. Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression models were utilized for data analysis. Findings from the bivariate and binary logistic regressions indicate that couples lived in urban areas, couples who attained secondary and higher education, couples who do not want another child, couples who discuss family planning with their spouses, and couples whose wives experienced side effect of female contraception were significantly associated with male contraceptive uptake among Indonesian couples. The results suggest that increasing male contraceptive uptake should be encouraged through spousal communication about family planning.
Associations between Monocyte Cytokine Profiles and Co-Morbid Conditions in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Jyonouchi Harumi , Geng Lee
Published: February 2021

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally defined syndrome with frequent co-morbidities. Evidence indicate a role of innate immunity in ASD pathogenesis. This study addressed whether innate immune abnormalities are associated with ASD co-morbid conditions and/or other clinical co-variables when assessed as changes in monocyte cytokine profiles. This study included 109 ASD (median 11.5 year) and 26 non-ASD subjects (median 11.4 year). Monocyte cytokine profiles were evaluated in association with age/ethnicity, ASD severity, medications, and co-morbidities present in >15% of ASD subjects [gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, epilepsy, allergic rhinitis, specific antibody deficiency (SAD), and fluctuating behavioral symptoms resembling pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS)]. ASD severity did not affect frequency of co-morbid conditions. GI symptoms, epilepsy, SAD, and PANS like symptoms revealed associations with changes in production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)/soluble TNF-receptor II (sTNFRII), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß)/IL-6/IL-10, and IL-6, respectively, mostly independent of other co-variables. ASD severity was associated with changes in multiple cytokines but frequently affected by other clinical co-variables. Our findings revealed associations between specific monocyte cytokine profiles and certain co-morbid conditions in ASD subjects, independent of other clinical co-variables. Our findings will aid in assessing treatment options for ASD co-morbidities and their effects on ASD behavioral symptoms.
Rare Event Simulation in a Dynamical Model Describing the Spread of Traffic Congestions in Urban Network Systems
Authors: K. Befekadu Getachew
Published: February 2021

In this chapter, we present a mathematical framework that provides a new insight for understanding the spread of traffic congestions in an urban network system. In particular, we consider a dynamical model, based on the well-known susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model from mathematical epidemiology, with small random perturbations, that describes the process of traffic congestion propagation and dissipation in an urban network system. Here, we provide the asymptotic probability estimate based on the Freidlin-Wentzell theory of large deviations for certain rare events that are difficult to observe in the simulation of urban traffic network dynamics. Moreover, the framework provides a computational algorithm for constructing efficient importance sampling estimators for rare event simulations of certain events associated with the spread of traffic congestions in the dynamics of the traffic network.

A Defected Metasurface for Field-Localizing Wireless Power Transfer
Authors: Chaimool Sarawuth , Rakluea Chawalit , Zhao Yan , Akkaraekthalin Prayoot
Published: February 2021

The potential of wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted considerable interest for various research and commercial applications for home and industry. Two important topics including transfer efficiency and electromotive force (EMF) leakage are concerned with modern WPT systems. This work presents the defected metasurface for localized WPT to prevent the transfer efficiency degraded by tuning the resonance of only one-unit cell at the certain metasurface (MTS). Localization cavities on the metasurface can be formed in a defected metasurface, thus fields can be confined to the region around a small receiver, which enhances the transfer efficiency and reduces leakage of electromagnetic fields. To create a cavity in MTS, a defected unit cell at the receiving coils’ positions for enhancing the efficiency will be designed, aiming to confine the magnetic field. Results show that the peak efficiency of 1.9% for the case of the free space is improved to 60% when the proposed defected metasurface is applied, which corresponds to 31.2 times enhancements. Therefore, the defected MTS can control the wave propagation in two-dimensional of WPT system.
Non-Pharmacological Management of Symptoms during Mechanical Ventilation and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Critical Care: Patient Directed Music Listening
Authors: Heiderscheit Annie
Published: February 2021

This chapter provides a review of the literature on nonpharmacological management of symptoms with music listening for critically ill patients during mechanical ventilation and with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The critical care environment is high energy, intense, and noisy. These characteristics of the ICU can often exacerbate symptoms and overstimulate patients. Patients may experience increased agitation, anxiety, increased pain or discomfort, and sleep interruptions. Patients are often on various medications unique to their diagnosis and underlying health issues and may need additional medications to address symptoms associated with the hospitalization. Nonpharmacological management, such as music listening provides an intervention that can assist in managing multiple symptoms, can be utilized repeatedly or at various times through the day or evening, be tailored to patient preferences, can be safe and effective, and require minimal energy for patients to use. The chapter reviews the mechanisms of how music listening can help with symptom management and provides guidelines, recommendations, and contraindications for selecting music of patient use. A brief assessment tool is presented to help guide the process of determining patient music preferences and how music listening may be helpful. Lastly, recommendations are provided on how to make music listening accessible in the critical care environment.
Preparation and Characterization of Electrically Conductive Polymer Nanocomposites with Different Carbon Nanoparticles
Authors: J. Cruz-Delgado Víctor , A. Valdez-Garza Janett , M. Mata-Padilla José , G. Martínez-Colunga Juan , A. Ávila-Orta Carlos
Published: February 2021

Carbon nanoparticles possess a combination of high electrical and thermal transport properties, as well as low density and different morphologies that make them a good choice to reinforce plastics. Polymer nanocomposites offer great expectations for new and unexpected applications due to the possibility of changing their electrical/thermal behavior by adding nanoparticles while retaining the flexibility and processability of plastics. The possibility of electrical and thermal conduction in a polymer matrix with low amounts of nanoparticles brings opportunity for high demanding applications such as electrical conductors, heat exchangers, sensors, and actuators. Polyolefin nanocomposites offer a significant challenge due to their insulative nature and low affinity for carbon nanoparticles; due to the latter, new production tendencies are proposed and investigated.
Centralism is a Dangerous Tool
Authors: Roberts William Clare ,   Caribbean Philosophical Association
Published: February 2021

This essay seeks to bring into focus the latent political theory of CLR James’s World Revolution, 1917-1936, and to show, on this basis, how World Revolution explains certain difficult aspects of The Black Jacobins. The core of James’s theory is the thesis that social classes are organically and internally identified, and that each has a preformed and unitary interest, which can be articulated as a set of political principles. A class is called to act by the voice that expresses the class’s interest in the terms of its political principles. Once these points are made clear, several problems regarding the interpretation of The Black Jacobins disappear. First, James’s claim that the slaves of San Domingo were “closer to a modern proletariat than any group of workers in existence at the time” follows from his organic concept of the proletariat. Second, James’s revision of his account of the Haitian Revolution over the decades does not signify a move in the direction of “history from below” but a changed estimation of the conditions under which the mirroring operation he assigned to political leadership might take place. What seems to be James’s inordinate interest in the individual leader, finally, is more properly understood to be his antipathy to institutions and organizations.
The Decolonial Reduction and the Transcendental-Phenomenological Reduction
Authors: Meagher Thomas ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2021

This paper offers a philosophical exploration of Nelson Maldonado-Torres’s formulation of the “decolonial reduction” as an instrument of phenomenology and ideological critique. Comparing the decolonial reduction to Edmund Husserl’s notion of the transcendental-phenomenological reduction or epoché, I argue that working through the demands of rigor for either mode of reduction points to areas of overlap: the work of transcendental phenomenology is incomplete without the performance of the decolonial reduction and vice versa. I then assess Maldonado-Torres’s anchoring of the decolonial reduction in the spirit of the “decolonial attitude” and criticism of the Husserlian theoretical attitude. I conclude that foreclosing the theoretical attitude as a framework from which to perform the decolonial reduction implies significant limitations and pitfalls for the decolonial project.
Grey literature: Advocating for diverse voices, increased use, improved access, and preservation
Authors: Marsolek Wanda , Farrell Shannon L. , Kelly Julia A. , Cooper Kristen
Published: February 2021

Grey literature (GL), or works that are more ephemeral in nature and not produced by traditional publishers, plays an important role in research and teaching. Some disciplines, such as economics and forestry, rely on and value GL for how it allows rapid dissemination of information. Additionally, as systematic reviews become increasingly popular in a wider variety of disciplines, the focus on GL has intensified due to guidelines calling for its inclusion. These factors led the authors to further explore the role of GL across disciplines of our institution. We examined the current levels of GL in databases and institutional repositories, and surveyed and interviewed faculty on their relationship with GL. This research found a lack of diverse voices in GL holdings and issues in preservation and access. Libraries are well situated to address these issues and in this article we argue that they should: increase the collection of diverse voices in GL, preserve digital born materials, and provide access to GL. Finally, we offer several ways that libraries can accomplish this goal.

La cooperación en la transformación pacífica de los conflictos: hacia la justicia y el amor como caminos del reconocimiento
Authors: París Albert Sonia , Comins Mingol Irene
Published: February 2021

La filosofía para hacer las paces de Martínez Guzmán aborda las competencias y las capacidades que los seres humanos tenemos para la transformación de los conflictos por medios pacíficos. Desde esta concepción de la condición humana, la defensa de un más que necesario cambio en la noción de la política local y global y la propuesta del giro epistemológico, Martínez Guzmán indaga la relación entre conflicto y cooperación como dos caras de una misma moneda, y pone el énfasis en la importancia del reconocimiento a través de la justicia y del amor para hacernos las paces, superando, así, las llamadas “luchas por el reconocimiento”.Martinez Guzman’s Philosophy for making peace(s) approaches the competencies and the capabilities that human beings have for the peaceful conflict transformation. From this conception of the human condition, the author explores the relationship between conflict and cooperation as two sides of the same coin, at the same time that he emphasizes the importance of recognition through justice and love to make peace(s), thus overcoming the so-called "struggles for recognition." This study takes also into account the defense of a more than necessary change in the notion of local and global politics and Martinez Guzman’s proposal of the epistemological turn.

Pensar: el trabajo fenomenológico-hermenéutico. A propósito de las primeras líneas de Carta sobre el “humanismo” de Heidegger
Authors: Moreno Tirado Guillermo
Published: February 2021

Este trabajo pretende leer línea a línea el comienzo de Carta sobre el “humanismo” para defender, por un lado, el compromiso heideggeriano con la actitud fenomenológica a pesar del abandono de la mayoría de los términos técnicos acuñados por Husserl y de que este sea, además, hermenéutico en todo momento; y, por otro lado, que la interpretación de este texto debe llevarse a cabo, precisamente, comprometiéndose con esa actitud. En esta línea, defenderemos que la actitud y el ejercicio fenomenológico-hermenéutico aparece como una decisión frente a cómo afrontar la pregunta por nuestro propio tiempo histórico, por en qué consiste nuestro normal andar con las cosas en nuestra situación histórica, que esa decisión solo es comprensible desde ese ejercicio y que el término “pensar” demuestra significar, a partir de 1930, ese ejercicio mismo.This paper aims to read line by line the beginning of the Letter on “humanism” in order to defend, on the one hand, the Heideggerian commitment to the phenomenological attitude in spite of the fact that he no longer uses most of the technical term coined by Husserl and that this is, moreover, hermeneutic at all times; and, on the other hand, that the interpretation of this text must be achieved, precisely, by com-mitting oneself to this attitude. In the same way, we will defend that the hermeneutical-phenomenological attitude and exercise appears as a decision regarding how to face the question of our own historical time, why our normal behaviour in our historical situation consist of, that this decision is only understandable from this very exercise and that the term “thinking” shows that, from 1930 onwards, it means this very exercise

Hacia una filosofía fenomenológica de la religión
Authors: Rodríguez García Sonia E.
Published: February 2021

La fenomenología de la religión es una de las ciencias de las religiones surgida en el siglo XIX. Tras una época dorada, las dificultades epistemológicas y los debates suscitados en torno al estatuto del saber la abocaron a una profunda crisis interna. En la actualidad, existen dos formas de entender la fenomenología de la religión: la primera, como historia comparada de las religiones, centrada en la descripción y clasificación de los fenómenos religiosos; la segunda, como fenomenología hermenéutica, centrada en la comprensión del fenómeno religioso. Ambas corrientes constituyen dos visiones divergentes de la fenomenología de la religión. Sin embargo, podrían concebirse como dos fases fenomenológicas convergentes que apuntan a la consolidación de una antropología filosófica de la religión. En este artículo, analizamos el objetivo, los principales representantes, las dificultades epistemológicas y los logros de cada una de estas for-mas de comprender la fenomenología de la religión y su posible conjugación en la configuración de una filosofía fenomenológica de la religión.The phenomenology of religion is one of the sciences of religions emerged in the 19th century. After a golden age, the epistemological difficulties, and the debates about the status of knowledge led to a deep internal crisis. At present, there are two ways of understanding the phenomenology of religion: the first, as a com-parative history of religions, focused on description and classification of religious phenomena; the second, as a hermeneutical phenomenology, focused on the understanding of religious phenomena. Both currents constitute two divergent views of phenomenology of religion. However, they can be conceived as two convergent phenomenological phases that point to the consoli-dation of a philosophical anthropology of religion. In this paper, we analyze the goal, main representatives, epistemological difficulties and achievements of each of these ways of understanding the phenomenology of religion and its possible conjugation in the configuration of a phenomenological philosophy of religion.
Para una fenomenología de la razón como fundamentación de las ciencias humanas
Authors: San Martín Javier
Published: February 2021

El ensayo trata de presentar la fenomenología de los actos racionales, actos que son fundamentales, en todo caso, para la ciencia. En la primera parte se expone la fenomenología de la razón tal como aparece en la cuarta sección del libro de Husserl Ideas I. En la segunda parte, teniendo a la vista El origen de la geometría, se expone esa fenomenología de la razón aplicada a la explicación de la ciencia histórica, superando el relativismo en que se ve envuelta, superación que también vale para la antropología cultural. Si en la primera parte se desvela la razón como legitimidad de lo que se da en sí mismo, en la segunda se expone la importante elucidación del apriori de la historia con el que cuenta el historiador y frente al cual nada puede el relativismo. Como conclusión se explica de qué manera incide la fenomenología de la razón de la primera parte en las ciencias humanas.The essay tries to present the phenomenology of rational acts, acts that are fundamental, in any case, for science. In the first part the phenomenology of reason is exposed as it appears in the fourth section of Husserl's book Ideas I. In the second part, considering The Origin of Geometry, this phenomenology of reason applied to explanation of historical science, overcoming the relativism in which it is involved, an overcoming that also applies to cultural anthropology. If in the first part reason is revealed as the legitimacy of what is given in itself, in the second part the important elucidation of the apriori of history is exposed with which the historian must count and against which relativism can do nothing. As a conclusion, it is explained how the phenomenology of reason of the first part affects the human sciences.

Adjuvant Treatment of Early Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma: A Population-Based Study of Whole Abdominal Versus Pelvic Nodal Radiotherapy
Authors: Roy Soumyajit , Hoskins Paul , Tinker Anna , Brar Harinder , Bowering Gale , Bahl Gaurav
Published: February 2021

Background: Adjuvant treatment in early ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is not yet standardized. The objective of this population-based study was to compare the outcome of patients with early OCCC treated with adjuvant chemotherapy versus chemoradiotherapy (chemoRT) and evaluate the association of adjuvant radiotherapy regimens (whole abdominal radiotherapy [WART] versus pelvic nodal radiotherapy [PRT]) with outcome. Patients and Methods: Chart review was conducted to identify patients with stage I and II OCCC with complete information on staging. Patients with stage IA, IB, or IC OCCC purely resulting from capsular rupture were excluded because the provincial protocol does not recommend adjuvant treatment. Results: Overall, 403 patients were identified and 343 received adjuvant treatment, of whom 255 had stage IC or II OCCC and 153 were eligible for final analysis. On Cox multivariable regression, receipt of chemoRT (n=90) was associated with an improvement in failure-free survival (FFS) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.57; 95% CI, 0.34–0.94) compared with chemotherapy alone (n=63). Use of chemoRT also resulted in 54% reduction in the cumulative incidence of cancer-specific mortality (subdistribution HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.24–0.89). However, there was no significant difference in the HR for overall survival (OS) between the chemoRT (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.43–1.13) and chemotherapy group. Relative to chemotherapy + WART (chemo-WART), chemotherapy + PRT (chemo-PRT) was not associated with any significant difference in HR for FFS (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.40–4.44) or OS (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.37–3.46). Conclusions: Adjuvant chemoRT was associated with a lower risk of failure compared with chemotherapy alone. However, there was no difference in OS between the adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoRT regimens. Additionally, no significant difference in terms of FFS or OS was found between the chemo-WART and chemo-PRT groups.

Academics against Gender Studies
Authors: Näser-Lather Marion
Published: February 2021

In Germany, knowledge production by gender researchers has been under attack not only from male rights activists, Christian fundamentalists and right-wing parties and movements, but also from scientists in various fi elds. Based on a discourse analysis of their publications (2009-2017) and a media reception analysis, this essay analyses arguments used by ‘gender’-critical scientists and the socio-political backgrounds to where they position themselves. I show that their arguments do not belong to scientifi c discourse, but can be interpreted as a form of science populism which lends ‘scientific’ authority to the formation of authoritarian, anti-feminist discourses that aims to reify ‘secure’ knowledge about ‘gender’. Accordingly, ‘gender-critical’ scientists are read mainly by non-scientific publics, including right-wing and Christian fundamentalist media and actors. As I will show, the phenomenon of scientists taking action against ‘gender’ can be situated in historical antifeminism, as well as contemporary discourses on the crisis-like character of the dynamics regarding gender knowledge and societal conditions.
La piedad filial en La Celestina: una interpretación desde la perspectiva del confucianismo
Authors: Sánchez Sagrado Lucas
Published: February 2021

Las relaciones entre padres e hijos son uno de los aspectos centrales que articulan gran parte de los acontecimientos en la obra de Fernando de Rojas. La importancia de estas relaciones no era en absoluto exclusiva a la sociedad española. El confucianismo cuenta con un término propio para designar estas relaciones, xiào (?), traducido habitualmente como piedad filial, el cual se considera uno de los pilares básicos de sus enseñanzas y tradiciones. Aunque las relaciones paternofi-liales en La Celestina han sido ampliamente estudiadas desde diversos enfoques, la interpretación de estas desde el punto de vista de la ética de las sociedades de Asia oriental es un aspecto poco estudiado. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar diversos aspectos de la dinámica de estas relaciones en la obra con el apoyo de los puntos de vista de varios autores, estudiar esas relaciones y compararlas con los preceptos establecidos en los textos clásicos del confucianismo.
La Celestina en la Transición. Censura, polémica e interpretación de la recreación telefílmica de Juan Guerrero Zamora
Authors: Villalobos Graillet José Eduardo
Published: February 2021

El artículo se propone examinar, en primer lugar, los problemas que atravesó el guion de la recreación cinematográfica basada en La Celestina de Juan Guerrero Zamora durante el franquismo. Para ello, se analiza el expediente de censura depositado actualmente en el Archivo General de la Administración (Alcalá de Henares). En segundo, la polémica que se generó en los periódicos españoles cuando el proyecto finalmente llegó a producirse para la televisión en la etapa de la transición hacia la democracia. Como se mencionará, parte de ello se debió a que en ese entonces TVE buscaba crear una nueva imagen de anticorrupción en los telespectadores e, indirectamente, provocar la salida del realizador del medio. Y, por último, el tratamiento libre y personalizado que el director dio a la adaptación de esta obra clásica.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi descrever um caso de histomonose em pavão (Pavo cristatus), como também os métodos de diagnóstico e as alterações macroscópicas e histopatológicas características desta doença. Um pavão criado extensivamente em uma propriedade, e em contato com outras aves, foi encaminhado morto ao Laboratório de Patologia Animal do Centro Universitário Integrado, em Campo Mourão, PR. Durante a necropsia, verificou-se que o ceco apresentava serosa com áreas hemorrágicas multifocais e que o fígado exibia leve aumento com áreas levemente pálidas multifocais. Fezes e fragmentos dos órgãos foram coletados e encaminhados para a análise. No exame coproparasitológico notou-se a presença de ovo de Heterakis gallinarum, hospedeiro paratênico do Histomonas meleagridis. No intestino foram identificadas lesões em forma de placas circulares firmes, com bordas brancacentas e enegrecidas; no fígado, áreas levemente pálidas. Na análise histopatológica determinou-se hepatite com necrose hepática, necrose e ulceração do ceco, sendo estas lesões características de histomonose.
As obrigações no campo dos direitos humanos a partir das mudanças climáticas: as consequências humanas da injustiça ambiental
Authors: Pozzatti Junior Ademar , Martins Carlo Moraes , Farret Nerissa Krebs
Published: February 2021

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir o impacto sofrido pelos Direitos Humanos no âmbito das mudanças climáticas e quais são as consequências humanas de uma injustiça ambiental. Para tanto, analisou-se de que maneira as mudanças climáticas afetam diretamente a questão dos Direitos Humanos e exigem medidas urgentes para combater o problema. Nesse sentido, foi demonstrado quais os principais acordos internacionais que guiam essa discussão, quais os principais agentes envolvidos e de que maneira a relação entre os Estados e a falta de ações concretas no âmbito ambiental afetam diretamente a perspectiva das populações vulneráveis. O método utilizado para se cumprir o proposto foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, principalmente dos documentos oficiais disponibilizados pela ONU e pelo IPCC. Concluiu-se, assim, que por mais que exista uma legislação internacional que tutele sobre o tema, seu cumprimento pelos países ainda não é uma prioridade e muitas vezes suas medidas não são adotadas causando um impacto humano inestimável.
Política hídrica internacional: abordagem comparativa dos aspectos legais dos recursos hídricos em Portugal e no Brasil
Authors: Pinto Filho Jorge Luis De Oliveira , Cunha Lucio
Published: February 2021

Á água é um recurso natural imprescindível ao desenvolvimento humano, sendo seu uso múltiplo, gerando processos de poluição, com consequências ambientais, econômicas e sociais. Este trabalho objetiva descrever o ordenamento jurídico da gestão dos recursos hídricos de Portugal e Brasil. Para isso, a metodologia inclui: revisão sistemática de literatura, investigação da documentação sobre evolução da legislação das águas e estudo comparativo sobre Leis das Águas e Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos. Apurou-se o avanço na legislação dos recursos hídricos em Portugal e Brasil. Constatou-se diferenças na compreensão jurídica sobre água. No Brasil, vista como um recurso natural e econômico; em Portugal como um recurso ecológico. Há diferenças epistemológicas: na Lei brasileira é tida como um recurso público gerido pelo Estado e uso prioritário pela população; e em Portugal um bem público sem prioridade para uso do povo. Estas distinções refletem diretamente na participação pública da gestão dos recursos hídricos, verificando-se que em Portugal os Conselhos de Região Hidrográfica são informativos e consultivos; no Brasil os Comitês de Bacia Hidrográfica são negociadores e deliberativos. Portanto, as referidas leis precisam aperfeiçoamento para efetivação, com verificação dos seus aspectos positivos e negativos, e mensuração dos fatores potenciais e desafiadores que possibilitaram os ajustes.
A sustentabilidade da matriz energética brasileira: o marco regulatório das energias renováveis e o princípio do desenvolvimento sustentável
Authors: Krell Andreas Joachim , De Castro e Souza Carolina Barros
Published: February 2021

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar os aspectos jurídicos do panorama regulatório da matriz energética brasileira no contexto de intensa preocupação da comunidade internacional com o meio ambiente, questionando se a referida matriz pode ser considerada “sustentável”. Fixa-se um parâmetro de sustentabilidade para estudar as leis que compõem o marco regulatório nacional das energias renováveis. Essas são cotejadas com as políticas públicas de promoção da energia limpa, para verificar a sua compatibilidade. Revela-se que a fonte de energia hidráulica, por si só, não pode garantir o caráter de sustentabilidade à matriz energética brasileira. Apesar dos esforços empreendidos para diversificar a política energética nacional, ainda se está longe de atingir uma dinâmica coerente, sobretudo em razão do caráter de complementaridade que incide sobre as fontes de energias renováveis no Brasil. Torna-se evidente que a divergência entre a legislação e a realização de políticas públicas enseja a violação de direitos fundamentais. Por fim, são avaliadas as possibilidades de uma política energética mais limpa, o que requer uma nova interpretação do desenvolvimento sustentável, a incorporação de uma racionalidade socioambiental na legislação e a elaboração de políticas públicas.
