Les Regulae et l’interprétation néokantienne
Authors: Ferrari Massimo
Published: December 2019

Les Regulae ad directionem ingenii sont sans doute un des textes les plus passionnants de Descartes et représentent encore aujourd’hui un défi pour les philosophes et pour les historiens de la philosophie. À partir des années 60 du XIXe siècle, le néokantisme fleurissant surtout en Allemagne a établi une tradition interprétative qui a voulu voir le jeune Descartes comme l’initiateur de la révolution copernicienne de Kant. En particulier, l’école de Marbourg a porté l’attention d’une manière très attentive justement sur les Regulae , en élaborant une interprétation qui demeure encore une référence importante pour la recherche savante qui vise à sonder le lien inextricable, chez Descartes, entre le « bon sens » et la mathesis universalis. Un lien qui est à l’origine de la pensée cartésienne et qui nous permet d’apprécier la valeur de la lecture néokantienne plus d’un siècle après.
La politique libyenne de la France et ses antécédents historiques
Authors: Harchaoui Jalel
Published: December 2019

Les cent cinquante dernières années sont peu fertiles en moments où la France a tenu une attitude claire et cohérente vis-àvis des provinces qui composent la Libye contemporaine. Les décisionnaires français se sont souvent montrés versatiles et impatients face à ce territoire, sorte de trou noir constant de la politique étrangère de la France. De telles volte-face jonchent l’histoire franco-libyenne. Elles sont moins le signe d’une compréhension fine des réalités locales que d’un entêtement de l’État français dans des grilles de lecture arbitraires ou tronquées. Afin de mettre en évidence la ténacité de certains tropismes parisiens concernant la Libye, cet essai propose un retour sur certains événements particuliers de l’histoire.
Vieillissement et perte de mémoire : avis de migrants haïtiens résidant au Québec
Authors: Cloos Patrick , Collins Stéphanie , Joubert Wista , Rosenberg Ellen , Gautier Lara
Published: December 2019

Introduction : La « démence » est généralement vue comme un syndrome caractérisé par le déclin d’une ou de plusieurs capacités cognitives, comme la perte de mémoire. Toutefois, perte de mémoire ne signifie pas pour autant démence. La plus fréquente des démences est la maladie d’Alzheimer dont la fréquence augmente avec le grand âge. En anthropologie de la santé, les maladies et leur expression représentent des construits socio-culturels qui ne sont pas reconnus et interprétés de la même façon par tout le monde. Par ailleurs, le contexte migratoire est source de difficultés dans le domaine de la démence. Cet article vise à discuter les liens entre vieillesse, démence et recherche d’aide dans ce contexte. Méthode : Nous nous appuyons sur une étude qualitative exploratoire. Dix entrevues semi-structurées ont été réalisées avec des femmes et des hommes nés en Haïti et qui ont ensuite immigré au Québec. Ces entrevues nous ont permis de discuter du statut des aînés, du sens donné à la perte de mémoire et de la recherche d’aide. Résultats : Les entrevues révèlent une pluralité des représentations à propos des pertes de mémoire et de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Elles mettent en lumière une diversité de croyances, d’attitudes et de valeurs traduisant une variabilité culturelle et sociale au sein d’une même communauté. La prise en compte du contexte permet de comprendre tantôt la transformation, tantôt la continuité des représentations et des conduites vis-à-vis des pertes de mémoire. Conclusion : La démence ne semble pas être un phénomène qui est abordé facilement au sein de la communauté haïtienne du Québec. Au final, cette étude révèle un manque d’information à ce propos.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of systemic administration of the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (HN019) on ligature-induced periodontitis in rats with experimental rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 28 rats were divided into four groups (n=7): RA (rheumatoid arthritis), RA/PROB (probiotic), RA/EP (experimental periodontitis) and RA/EP/PROB. From day zero, HN019 was added daily to the water of the PROB groups animals until the end of the experiment. From day seven, RA was induced. On day 28, in EP groups, ligatures were positioned around mandibular first molars and remained in position for 11 days, in order to induce periodontitis. The animals were euthanised on day 39. Microtomographic, histomorphometric, immunoenzymatic and microbiological analyses were performed. Data were statistically analysed (P<0.05). Group RA/EP/PROB presented reduced alveolar bone loss, tumour necrosis factor-α and interleukin (IL)-6 levels and increased IL-17 levels when compared with group RA/EP. There were no significant differences regarding connective tissue attachment level and IL-10 levels between groups RA/EP and RA/EP/PROB. Group RA/PROB showed decreased anti-citrullinated protein antibodies levels when compared with groups RA and RA/EP. Group RA/EP/PROB presented a higher rate of aerobic/anaerobic bacteria than group RA/EP. Systemic administration of HN019 promoted a protective effect against periodontal tissue destruction, decreasing both bone loss and inflammatory mediators and increasing the proportion of bacteria compatible with periodontal health, in rats with experimental RA and EP.
A retrospective case-control study to investigate horse and jockey level risk factors associated with horse falls in Irish Point-to-Point races
Authors: Smith L.J. , Tabor G. , Williams J.
Published: December 2019

Horse racing as a high-risk sport can pose a significant risk to equine welfare. There have been limited epidemiological reviews of fall risk specific to point-to-point racing. This study aimed to identify horse and jockey level risk factors associated with horse falls and compare these to published findings for Hurdle and Steeplechase racing. The study used a retrospective matched case-control design. Relevant variables were identified, and information was collated for all races in the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. Cases and controls were matched with a 1:3 ratio. Controls (n=2,547) were selected at random from all horses that completed in the same race (n=849). Horse and jockey level variables were analysed through univariable analysis to inform multivariable model building. A final matched case-control multivariable logistic regression model was refined, using fall/no fall as the dependent variable, through a backward stepwise process. Horse age was associated with an increased risk of horse falls. For every 1 unit increase in age there was a 1.2 times increased fall risk. The number of races ran within 12 months was associated with a decreased risk of falling. The jockeys previous seasons percentage wins was associated with the risk of horse falls. Jockeys who had 0-4% wins and 5-9% wins had an increase in risk compared to those who had over 20% wins/runs. The jockeys previous seasons percentage of falls (F) or unseating of the rider (UR) was associated with the risk of horse falls with jockeys who had over 20% F/UR having a 50% increased chance of falling compared to those who had 0-4% F/UR. Retrospective analysis of horse and jockey falls has exposed risk factors that have been previously identified in hurdle and steeplechase racing. Identification of risk factors is essential when considering future research and interventions aimed at improving horse and jockey safety.

Hyperopic Laser in situ Keratomileusis With 5.5-, 6.5-, and 7.0-mm Optical Zones
Authors: Kermani Omid , Schmeidt Karl , Oberheide Uwe , Gerten Georg
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism using a large 7.0-mm optical zone and to compare them with treatments using a 5.5- and 6.5-mm optical zone.

METHODS: One hundred sixty-one eyes of 89 patients with a mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction of +2.44±1.32 diopters (D) (range: +0.00 to +5.62 D, cylinder 5.25 to 0.00 D) were treated for hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism using a 7.0-mm optical zone and were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperatively, patients were examined after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year. Eyes treated previously at the same center by the same surgeons with 5.5- and 6.5-mm optical zone applications were used as controls. All treatments were performed with the Nidek EC 5000 CXII excimer laser system (Nidek, Gamagori, Japan). A nasal hinged flap was created using the Nidek MK 2000 microkeratome in all cases.

RESULTS: The mean postoperative spherical equivalent refraction after 1 month (n=89) was +0.12±0.72 D (range: -1.75 to +2.75 D), +0.13±0.74 D (range: -1.88 to +1.62 D) at 3 months (n=70), and +0.20±0.69 D (range: -1.62 to +1.12 D) at 1 year (n=33). Regression between 1 month and 1 year was 0.08 D in the 7.0-mm optical zone group. Regression was 0.25 D in the 5.5-mm group and 0.02 D in the 6.5-mm optical zone group between 1 month and 1 year. In both the 5.5- and 6.5-mm optical zone groups, 13% of eyes lost one line in visual acuity (2% in the 7.0-mm optical zone group). The gain of one or more lines in visual acuity was 19% in the 5.5-mm group, 17% in the 6.5-mm group, and 27% in the 7.0-mm optical zone group. All data represent primary cases without retreatment.

CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the optical zone size from 5.5 mm to 6.5 mm and to 7.0 mm seems to improve refractive results, stability, and safety of hyperopic and hyperopic-astigmatic LASIK treatments. Although some hyperopic and astigmatic eyes are endangered by loss of lines in best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, more eyes gain one or more lines. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:52-58.]
Los combates por la fe y el nacimiento de Europa: El ejemplo español del siglo xv al xvii
Authors: Coronel Ramos Marco Antonio
Published: December 2019

Este artículo analiza el efecto que la coexistencia del cristianismo, el judaísmo y el islam ha tenido para la configuración de Europa. El trabajo parte de la España del siglo xv, donde esa convivencia es más evidente, para ilustrar cómo las apologías confesionales solían acabar en la conclusión de que la religión del otro era irracional, resultando, pues, imposible construir una identidad europea sin la aniquilación del otro. Conscientes de ello, humanistas como J. L. Vives prefirieron centrar el acercamiento al otro en lo epistemológico y en lo moral más que en lo dogmático. Ese sería el punto de partida para una Europa como la testimoniada en el Quijote, en la que las racionalidades enfrentadas de los credos quedan disueltas en el sujeto pensante, que construye la realidad más allá de apriorismos raciales y filosóficos.

Atrial mechanical hypofunction after electrical cardioversion of persistent or long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: De Vecchis Renato , Paccone Andrea , Di Maio Marco
Published: December 2019

In the present retrospective cohort study, we have evaluated the missed or delayed atrial mechanical recovery in a population of patients with persistent or long-lasting persistent AF who achieved restoration of sinus rhythm on the ECG by electrical cardioversion (ECV).  The endpoint of our   study was   the failure to recover the normal mechanics of the left atrium.  Inclusion criterion was the persistent or long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation successfully treated by means of    ECV , provided that  a pertinent documentation  was made available, comprising ECG, conventional 2D echo-color-Doppler and   speckle tracking echocardiography(STE)  evaluation, with also a STE assessment  of the atria at the days 1, 30 and 90  from the ECV freely available within  the clinical record  of the patient. Out of a total of 80 patients with persistent or long-standing persistent AF, retrospectively enrolled, as many as  22.5% of them did not achieve the normalization of their  atrial STE profile, even though they had been converted to sinus rhythm on the ECG by means of ECV.  The building of ROC curves allowed us to establish that early measurements of global atrial strain could serve to predict  both the risk of failure to recover the atrial mechanical function and the one of AF relapses over a 12 month follow-up. The   values of 18% and 17% were also calculated  to serve as cut off values, respectively,  for the risk  of atrial mechanical dysfunction and for the risk of AF  relapses over a 12 month follow-up. Failure to recover the atrial reservoir function can accompany a restoration of sinus rhythm on the ECG in patients with long-standing persistent AF. In this case, a serial STE evaluation could be useful to evaluate the atrial hypofunction over time.
The exact power law for Buffon’s needle landing near some random Cantor sets
Authors: Zhang Shiwen
Published: December 2019

In this paper, we study the Favard length of some random Cantor sets of Hausdorff dimension 1. We start with a unit disk in the plane and replace the unit disk by

4

disjoint subdisks (with equal distance to each other) of radius

1/4

inside and tangent to the unit disk. By repeating this operation in a self-similar manner and adding a random rotation in each step, we can generate a random Cantor set

{\cal D}(\omega)

. Let

{\cal D}_n

be the

n

-th generation in the construction, which is comparable to the

4^{-n}

-neighborhood of

{\cal D}

. We are interested in the decay rate of the Favard length of these sets

{\cal D}_n

as

n\to\infty

, which is the likelihood (up to a constant) that "Buffon's needle'' dropped randomly will fall into the

4^{-n}

-neighborhood of

{\cal D}

. It is well known that the lower bound of the Favard length of

{\cal D}_n(\omega)

is a constant multiple of

n^{-1}

. We show that the upper bound of the Favard length of

{\cal D}_n(\omega)

is

C n^{-1}

for some

C > 0

in the average sense. We also prove the a similar linear decay for the Favard length of

{\cal D}^d_n(\omega)

, which is the

d^{-n}

-neighborhood of a self-similar random Cantor set with degree

d

greater than

4

. Notice that in the non-random case where the self-similar set has degree greater than

4

, the best known result for the decay rate of the Favard length is

e^{-c\sqrt {\log n}}

Zapponi-orientable dessins d’enfants
Authors: Girondo Ernesto , González-Diez Gabino , Hidalgo Rubén A. , Jones Gareth A.
Published: December 2019

Almost two decades ago, Zapponi introduced a notion of orientability of a clean dessin d’enfant, based on an orientation of the embedded bipartite graph. We extend this concept, which we call Z-orientability to distinguish it from the traditional topological definition, to the wider context of all dessins, and we use it to define a concept of twist orientability, which also takes account of the Z-orientability properties of those dessins obtained by permuting the roles of white and black vertices and face-centres. We observe that these properties are Galois-invariant, and we study the extent to which they are determined by the standard invariants such as the passport and the monodromy and automorphism groups. We find that in general they are independent of these invariants, but in the case of regular dessins they are determined by the monodromy group.

Na era da expertise: formação e qualificação dos servidores públicos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial
Authors: Rabelo Fernanda Lima
Published: December 2019

Este artigo busca analisar os projetos e discursos de institucionalização da carreira de servidores técnicos federais, propostos pelo Departamento Administrativo do Serviço Público (DASP), entre 1938 e 1945. A partir da visão da formação de núcleos de funcionários administrativos altamente qualificados e na proposta de novos concursos públicos, procura-se entender como o discurso do mérito, da expertise e da eficiência estava ligado à formação de novos quadros de trabalhadores no serviço público no Estado Novo. Objetiva-se, ainda, compreender como o Departamento se posicionou no período da Segunda Guerra Mundial, participando de um projeto varguista de cooperação e alinhamento com o governo norte-americano, durante o conflito.
High-resolution mapping of urban air quality with heterogeneous observations: a new methodology and its application to Amsterdam
Authors: Mijling Bas
Published: December 2019

Abstract. In many cities around the world people are exposed to elevated levels of air pollution. Often local air quality is not well known due to the sparseness of official monitoring networks, or unrealistic assumptions being made in urban air quality models. Low-cost sensor technology, which has become available in recent years, has the potential to provide complementary information. Unfortunately, an integrated interpretation of urban air pollution based on different sources is not straightforward because of the localized nature of air pollution, and the large uncertainties associated with measurements of low-cost sensors. In this study, we present a practical approach to producing high spatio-temporal resolution maps of urban air pollution capable of assimilating air quality data from heterogeneous data streams. It offers a two-step solution: (1) building a versatile air quality model, driven by an open source atmospheric dispersion model and emission proxies from open data sources, and (2) a practical spatial interpolation scheme, capable of assimilating observations with different accuracies. The methodology, called Retina, has been applied and evaluated for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, during the summer of 2016. The assimilation of reference measurements results in hourly maps with a typical accuracy of 39 % within 2 km of an observation location, and 53 % at larger distances. When low-cost measurements of the Urban AirQ campaign are included, the maps reveal more detailed concentration patterns in areas which are undersampled by the official network. During the summer holiday period, NO2 concentrations drop about 10 % due to reduced urban activity. The reduction is less in the historic city center, while strongest reductions are found around the access ways to the tunnel connecting the northern and the southern part of the city, which was closed for maintenance. The changing concentration patterns indicate how traffic flow is redirected to other main roads. Overall, we show that Retina can be applied for an enhanced understanding of reference measurements, and as a framework to integrate low-cost measurements next to reference measurements in order to get better localized information in urban areas.
Dyslipidemia and Hyperglycemia in Psoriatic Inpatients
Authors: Popchanovski Bojan , Balabanova-Stefanova Margareta
Published: December 2019

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic cutaneous T-cell mediated disease, which has been associated with many comorbidities, especially with metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, many of which are themselves risk factors for other diseases. The goal of this study was to evaluate the presence of dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia in patients with psoriasis.

Methods: We compared 48 inpatients with plaque psoriasis aged 29-79, hospitalized between March 2018 and February 2019, to 48 age- and gender-matched controls. We evaluated dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia using enzymatic methods as part of a standard blood test, or medication history indicative of ongoing treatment of dyslipidemia and/or hyperglycemia. Hypertension was evaluated by registering blood pressure greater than 140/90 mmHg or ongoing antihypertensive treatment. Smoking habits were also noted.

Results: There were statistically significant differences between psoriasis patients and controls for elevated total cholesterol (p=0,028), elevated LDL (p=0,015), hypertriglyceridemia (p=0,006), and hyperglycemia (p=0,021). The two groups had statistically insignificant differences for lowered HDL (p=0,084), hypertension (p=1), and smoking (p=0,836).

Conclusion: Hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, and elevated LDL cholesterol were more prevalent in the group containing psoriatic patients compared to the control group. This indicates that further investigation of metabolic abnormalities should be conducted in psoriatic patients which could greatly benefit from early treatment of the aforementioned underlying conditions.
Violencia y sometimiento en 'La Sirga' de William Vega
Authors: Montes Garcés Elizabeth
Published: December 2019

La Sirga (2012) de William Vega recrea la vida de Alicia, una niña que huye de su pueblo cuando los paramilitares matan a sus padres. Al utilizar los conceptos de Slavoj Žižek sobre la violencia sistémica y de Judith Butler sobre la sujeción y el poder, en este ensayo se demuestra que en la película la mirada masculina actúa como un mecanismo de vigilancia que intenta construir a Alicia como un sujeto obediente que no se debe desviar del papel tradicional asignado a las mujeres colombianas.
'Politeia' nella storiografia e nel pensiero storico greco tra V e IV secolo a.C.: la questione della continuità e del mutamento
Authors: Poddighe Elisabetta
Published: December 2019

Nell’ambito della “grande” storiografia come della storiografia locale la riflessione sul tema della politeia è stata, fino ad Aristotele, prevalentemente svolta nel segno della continuità tra il passato della polis e il suo presente. Questo non significa che il tema della discontinuità costituzionale (metabole politeion) non abbia trovato spazio nell’opera degli storiografi, ma piuttosto che quel tema non è stato utilizzato per riflettere in un’ottica universale sui processi di cambiamento della storia sociale delle poleis. Questo sviluppo decisivo si deve alla ricerca storica aristotelica nella quale lo studio della politeia è messo al servizio di un modo nuovo di fare la storia della polis (civic historiography).
De Atenas a Roma: Elio Aristides y la romanización de Grecia
Authors: Hermosa Andújar Antonio
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo trata de exponer por qué para E. Aristides Roma es el remate de Atenas, pese a que el texto en el que idealiza a ésta es muy posterior al texto en el que idealiza a aquélla. Ello se debe a que Atenas no consiguió dar forma a una hegemonía política a partir de su supremacía cultural y militar, lo que la forzó a usar la violencia incluso contra sus aliados, perjudicándose así; fue el suyo un imperio de prestigio, mas no de poder. Pero formar un imperio era requisito previo a la adquisición de hegemonía política, a lo que debía seguir el aprendizaje político mediante la experiencia. Así se construyó el arte político, del que Roma fue el artista, y cuyos pilares serían la formación de una ciudadanía universal en el interior del imperio y su ordenación piramidal. Un príncipe-dios presidía todo, impartía justicia con imparcialidad y prescindía del abuso de la fuerza gracias a la racionalización introducida por la burocratización del poder. Eso hizo de los romanos unos ciudadanos más libres, más seguros y con mayor bienestar.
La articulación política feminista desde la comunidad. Análisis interseccional de 'Las escalofriantes aventuras de Sabrina '
Authors: Quintana Fernández Borja
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo centra su atención en la serie Las escalofriantes aventuras de Sabrina (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina en su nombre original), una producción de Netflix orientada a una audiencia adolescente que es nicho habitual de este servicio. Utilizando el Análisis de Contenido desde una perspectiva interseccional y antiesencialista, se estudia el impacto de los diversos dominios y las relaciones que en ellos se llevan a cabo en la construcción identitaria de los personajes que puedan ser objeto de identificación por parte de la audiencia. Los resultados de dicho análisis muestran el papel central de la comunidad y la sororidad frente al dominio estructural y hegemónico sobre la categoría sexual ‘mujer’ y el dominio disciplinario e interpersonal de la categoría de género ‘trans’. La despolitización postfeminista de esta ficción hace necesaria la reivindicación de la articulación política interseccional, que podemos encontrar en otros productos como American Horror Story.
Cuando el modelo de dominación se agota. Una lectura desde la sostenibilidad de la vida de las ficciones de Hayao Miyazaki
Authors: Aguado Peláez Delicia , Martínez García Patricia
Published: December 2019

Las ficciones creadas por Hayao Miyazaki ofrecen una representación de las mujeres alejada de los estereotipos de género habituales. Sus heroínas son fuertes e independientes, trabajadoras y voluntariosas a la hora de luchar por aquello en lo que creen. No obstante, estas producciones van más allá de ofrecer una imagen femenina más emancipadora. Son un ejemplo de resistencia cultural que apuesta por un modelo de sociedad ajeno a la dominación de los colectivos subalternos y del entorno. Por el contrario, se pueden leer desde una perspectiva basada en la sostenibilidad de la vida, que reconoce la interdependencia y ecodependencia de los seres humanos. Así, partiendo de una perspectiva interseccional y utilizando como herramienta el análisis de contenido cualitativo, se analizarán las películas de Miyazaki teniendo en cuenta el vínculo entre su representación del heroísmo, el rol femenino, el grado de degradación del medio ambiente y el nivel de conflicto social. Un estudio que desvela cómo, tras el fracaso del sujeto normativo en la creación de un mundo habitable y justo, estas animaciones nos dicen que es el momento de experimentar desde otros valores y otras protagonistas.
Frente al antepasado: imágenes y discursos de poder en el entorno construido de Kohunlich

Published: December 2019

La incorporación de programas escultóricos en la arquitectura maya es una evidencia de la importancia de las imágenes en la producción de significados dentro del entorno construido. Los casos de estudio de esta investigación, los mascarones del Edificio A1 (o Templo de los Mascarones) y la crestería del Edificio B4 (o Palacio de las Estelas), ambos en Kohunlich, Quintana Roo, México, arrojan importante información sobre el comportamiento de las imágenes en el espacio público y su complementación con los componentes del entorno en la generación de mensajes relativos al ejercicio y al sustento ideológico del poder, a la sacralización de la figura real y a los conceptos religiosos básicos del gobierno.
O poético e o prosaico: o fim da lírica em Walter Benjamin
Authors: Vaccari Ulisses
Published: December 2019

O presente texto procura identificar alguns padrões da leitura benjaminiana de Baudelaire e Hölderlin. Em ambos os poetas, Benjamin ressalta um mesmo tema: a crise da poesia lírica em tempos modernos de industrialização. Baudelaire e Hölderlin, segundo Benjamin, procuram transpor a forma poética lírica em uma poesia prosaica, mais afeita ao homem moderno citadino e industrial, marcado pelo embotamento da percepção por meio do trabalho da consciência e da memória voluntária. Somente o recurso à poesia prosaica e alegórica é capaz de falar ao homem das grandes cidades. Num segundo momento, o texto procura trazer à tona alguns paralelos dessa interpretação com o teatro épico de Brecht. Aponta-se para a possibilidade de identificação do gênero da poesia prosaica com o gênero épico, no sentido de que este último visa igualmente a uma crítica da obra de arte como bela aparência.

Falar sobre os fins da arte, hoje, significa questionar a relação entre a produção teórica sobre as artes e os desafios que lhe foram colocados nas últimas décadas. Desafios como o avanço da tecnologia em campos antes inimagináveis, a construção de novas formas de perceber a natureza e o corpo ou a necessidade de conscientização acerca da crise das estruturas tradicionais de teorias e histórias da arte. No intuito de levar a sério o famoso, porém não esgotado hermeneuticamente, diagnóstico hegeliano sobre o fim da arte – que a situa como “algo do passado” –, os textos deste dossiê ultrapassam a tese do filósofo, indo além da simples constatação de um deslocamento no modo de expressar interesses culturais e histórico-sociais. Ademais, não podemos negligenciar outros sentidos que o fim da arte possui, para além da tese hegeliana. Por esse motivo, a formulação da questão exige a pluralização dos “fins” da arte, que podem também remeter-se ao nascimento da arte bela, ou seja, da arte livre de fins determinados. Dando continuidade à tese kantiana, alguns textos colocam em xeque o tipo de finalidade que subjaz à arte e à criatividade do artista.
O fim da arte no Modernismo de Mário de Andrade
Authors: Duarte Pedro
Published: December 2019

O artigo analisa como o diagnóstico feito pela filosofia de Hegel no século XIX sobre o fim da arte é encontrado ainda no pensamento estético do crítico e escritor modernista Mário de Andrade no século XX, no Brasil. Sem ter se detido na análise do filósofo alemão, Mário contudo preocupou-se com a perda do antigo sentido social da arte, pois ela afastaria o Modernismo da pretensão de servir de esteio para a formação do Brasil. Os anos heroicos de 1920 da vanguarda brasileira cederam espaço, desde a década de 1930, para a autocrítica sobre o individualismo e o formalismo da arte moderna. Este artigo sustenta a tese de que tal autocrítica tardia de Mário de Andrade ao Modernismo deveu-se à tomada de consciência sobre o que, segundo a estética de Hegel, chamamos de fim da arte.
Gênese da representação como gênese do real
Authors: Menon Walter
Published: December 2019

Este texto tem como propósito sustentar a tese de que o mundo da arte se distingue do mundo da vida por ser aquele onde se dá o regime ficcional por excelência. Levando em conta os dois tipos de teoria pensado por Arthur Danto como dois tipos gerais a partir dos quais se pensa o mundo da arte: teoria da imitação e teoria do real, sugerimos uma continuidade entre eles. O primado da ficção seria próprio do mundo da arte. Entretanto, o ficcional próprio da representação na arte não pode ser pensado sem o pólo do real, o pressupõe e o designa fazendo com que os limites entre o mundo da arte e o da vida estejam em constante litígio sem entretanto desfazer definitivamente as diferenças entre os dois pólos.
O sistema de notação musical de Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Authors: Fortes Fabrício
Published: December 2019

Um dos vários esforços de Rousseau em relação à música foi a criação de um novo sistema de escrita musical. Seus objetivos foram sobretudo simplificar a representação das obras musicais em relação à notação musical tradicional sem perder o poder expressivo, tornando assim a música mais fácil de ser escrita, lida, ensinada e aprendida. Neste trabalho, apresentamos uma análise desse sistema, e buscamos avaliar seu sucesso em relação a tais objetivos. Para tanto, partimos de uma descrição da notação tradicional para, em seguida apresentar o sistema de Rousseau e, por fim, avaliar o êxito desse sistema em relação a seus objetivos.
Rousseau e as instituições ociosas
Authors: Costa Israel Alexandria
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo situa a ociosidade como tema de filosofia política junto à análise da noção de instituições ociosas, a partir  das Considerações sobre o Governo da Polônia, de Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Nesse contexto, em que a ociosidade aparece numa reflexão acerca da natureza da constituição política, o foco da questão é um problema inerente à atividade legislativa: "como incutir a lei nos corações dos cidadãos?". Na abordagem desse problema, destaca-se a reflexão acerca do problema do mal da elusão da lei e, em especial, da proposta de remédio, que avança em relação à superficialidade e à cegueira da visão na qual o tempo do ócio se afigura apenas como intervalo inútil. Na perspectiva rousseauniana aqui desenvolvida, a questão do ócio prende-se à da manipulação dos sentimentos de sociabilidade civil por meio de cerimoniais ociosos que o legislador deve considerar em face do extraordinário poder das instituições ociosas como recursos de fortalecimento da lei.
Política e polícia literárias em Rousseau
Authors: Gomes Lívia Cristina
Published: December 2019

Este artigo analisa a questão da enunciação literária em alguns dos escritos teóricos de Rousseau, em particular a Carta a D’Alembert (1758), Do contrato social (1762) e o Ensaio sobre a origem das línguas (1781), além do prefácio da Nova Heloísa (1761). Neles, atenta-se ao modo como a literatura está intimamente relacionada à problemática da voz e do ordenamento das enunciações e dos corpos no pensamento político do autor, configurando assim uma política / polícia da literatura, conforme a distinção feita por Jacques Rancière (1996).
O xamanismo na era de sua reprodutibilidade técnica
Authors: Ferreira Pedro Peixoto
Published: December 2019

Desde os anos 1990, Laymert Garcia dos Santos vem, não apenas articulando sinergias consistentes doxamanismo yanomami com a arte contemporânea, como também reiteradamente colocando à prova a hipótese,via de regra formulada nos termos de Gilbert Simondon, de que “o primeiro técnico é o pajé, o medicine man, [...] [o]xamã”, que “traz para sua comunidade um elemento novo e insubstituível produzido num diálogo direto com o mundo,um elemento escondido ou inacessível para a comunidade até então”. Proponho neste texto retomar alguns casosetnograficamente documentados de “xamaquinismos” audiovisuais à luz da hipótese simondoniana reformulada porGarcia dos Santos: se os xamãs são os primeiros técnicos, não seria pelo mesmo motivo que são também os primeirosartistas?, i.e.: por operarem reticularmente, sobre nós de articulação entre realidades normalmente incompatíveis?;por acessar, em bloco e de forma controlada, num aqui-agora singular, a presença de grandes potências normalmentedispersas num alhures-outrora inacessível e incontrolável?
Merleau‐Ponty e Simondon: sobre o animal e o humano
Authors: Ramos Silvana De Souza
Published: December 2019

Por meio de uma apresentação sucinta da ontologia de Merleau-Ponty, a qual é de certo modo retomadapela concepção simondoniana de individuação, o artigo analisa as estratégias teóricas utilizadas por Simondonem Deux leçons sur l’animal et l’homme. Trata-se de fornecer ao leitor uma chave de leitura dessa obra por meio desua vinculação com os debates empreendidos por Merleau-Ponty quando este investiga o conceito de naturezaem sua ontologia tardia. Nos dois casos, não se concebe nem a natureza nem o humano por meio de substâncias,o que resulta na possibilidade de pensar uma comunicação entre estes diferentes níveis de individuação. Porém,diferentemente de Merleau-Ponty, Simondon não escreve uma ontologia, mas sim uma ontogênese.
Turismo e Indicação Geográfica: a denominação de origem da banana da Região de Corupá, Santa Catarina, Brasil
Authors: De Lorena Giseli , Areas Patrícia De Oliveira , Cunha Lima Felipe Borborema
Published: December 2019

A comunicação objetiva estabelecer reflexões acerca do processo de Indicação Geográfica (IG) por Denominação de Origem (DO) da banana da Região de Corupá, Santa Catarina, e sua potencialidade para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Iniciado em 2016, obteve o registro em 2018 pelo Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial (INPI). Metodologicamente, o estudo é qualitativo, de natureza exploratória, conduzido via revisão bibliográfica integrativa e documental e com inserção em campo, por meio de observação participante. A escrita do texto segue o debate sobre a importância da IG enquanto fomentadora de arranjos produtivos locais, com ênfase na agricultura familiar e nas relações destes temas com a busca pela proteção das tradições e dos modos de fazer. A principal contribuição da pesquisa foi de fornecer novos dados para correlacionar temas como: indicação geográfica, patrimônio, turismo e gastronomia. Dentre os resultados alcançados está a comprovação da bananicultura na região como uma tradição capaz de garantir a manutenção do saber-fazer, da memória coletiva e a relação de pertencimento entre a população e o município, propiciando a salvaguarda dos costumes. Foi constatado que o processo de DO oportuniza uma redinamização econômica ao propor a interação do turismo e da gastronomia. Estes aspectos ampliam a oferta de novos arranjos produtivos (produtos e serviços) e demonstram a vocação do território para práticas de segmentos turísticos não tradicionais como o comunitário, de experiência e o criativo.
Exploiting Shangri-La: Assessing the Tibetan Plateau’s Natural Resources and the Work of Karl Wittfogel
Authors: Ternes Brock
Published: December 2019

This paper applies Karl Wittfogel' s theory of hydraulic societies to China’s relationship with Tibet. It argues that the Chinese are interested in control over Tibet not only for its land, location, or wealth of natural resources, but also for control of its headwaters. Hundreds of millions of people rely on the numerous large rivers that start in the Tibetan plateau, making the region a critically important water supply for Asia. Wittfogel’s work theorizes that China’s territory and authority has expanded with the need to secure water for its large population and food production. The paper contains two sections: the first summarizes Wittfogel’s arguments, a history of Tibet, and China’s control of it; the second describes China’s attempts to modernize Tibet, specifically through river development, and the environmental damage caused by such efforts. Tibet’s rivers are crucial for the entirety of Asia, and the Plateau’s massive supplies of water are just one of its many resources. By focusing on rivers, this article describes the importance of Tibet and how increasing levels of resource extraction legitimatize Chinese centralized authority.
La ciudad de Lima en las historietas de Miguel Det
Authors: Pau Stefano
Published: December 2019

En este artículo se explorará la visión que el historietista e ilustrador Miguel Det propone de la ciudad de Lima, por medio del análisis de algunas de sus obras: la adaptación en cómic del polémico y brillante ensayo de Sebastián Salazar Bondy Lima la horrible (1964), realizado por Det en 2014, Conversaciones en la ciudad de cartón (2011), ispirado en la vida y la obra del escritor Martín Adán y la Novísima Corónica y Mal Gobierno (2011). El análisis permitirá subrayar el carácter denunciatorio de las obras, que presentan una ciudad desgarrada, caótica y violenta, plagada por la disparidad social, un escenario distópico que se vuelve núcleo de la narración.
Una ciudad híbrida. Aproximaciones a Líneas de fuga de Óscar Gutiérrez y Cristian Toro
Authors: Hinojosa Lobos Hugo Alexis
Published: December 2019

la experiencia vital en la ciudad siempre es un tránsito difícil, en aquella complejidad urbana que absorbe a los ciudadanos. Óscar Gutiérrez y Cristian Toro, autores de la novela gráfica chilena Líneas de fuga (2016), conscientes de esta realidad desencajada, asumen su obra como un espacio hipermediatizado de discusión sobre las problemáticas del sujeto contemporáneo. En ese sentido, el lenguaje propio de la historieta es complejizado en una obra que crece en referencias inter y metatextuales, dentro de la cual se asume que desde su abierta hibridez manifiesta las contrariedades que aquejan a los individuos en las ajetreadas calles de las ciudades de la posmodernidad.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after terrorist attacks on the example of events on the Utoya island
Authors: Habrajska Izabela , Golebiowski Artur
Published: December 2019

The article addresses the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder in psychological and historical terms, with particular emphasis on the analysis of reactions to the stressful situation, that is a terrorist attack.
The first part of the text is devoted to the theory of post-traumatic stress. The authors explain the physiology, mechanisms and genesis of post-traumatic stress, its short historical outline and contemporary classification of criteria determining the PTSD diagnosis, both according to the DSM-IV-TR manual and changes introduced by DSM 5.
After acquainting the reader with the basic terminology related to post-traumatic stress disorder, the authors analyze the case of the stressful situation – the attack on the Norwegian island of Utoya. The article describes the events of July 22, 2011, and focuses on the analysis of posttraumatic reactions that followed the attack among its direct participants, as well as among their relatives.
Not only does this analysis cover strictly statistical issues, but also psychological or medical phenomena of post-traumatic stress among the victims of Anders Brevik. Based on actions taken by the Norwegian services, the authors attempt to draw and systematize conclusions on the general principles of dealing with victims of potential terrorist attacks.
Exploring the Effect of Energy Consumption on the Economic Growth of Albania
Authors: Kumar Ronald Ravinesh , Stauvermann Peter Josef , Kumar Nikeel
Published: December 2019

Albania is one of the most energy-resource abundant country, however faced with high domestic electricity demand. Moreover, the country is the largest crude oil producer in Europe. In this study, we investigate the following questions: (i) Is there a long-run association between energy consumption and output in Albania? (ii) What is the magnitude of energy effect in the short- and long-run on output in Albania? (iii) Which of the four hypotheses on the energy-growth nexus describes most appropriately the energy-growth nexus in the case of Albania? (iv) How do the results compare with those of earlier studies? Thus, the study examines the effect of energy consumption on the economic growth of Albania over the periods 1980 to 2014 using a Cobb-Douglas production function whilst controlling for multiple structural breaks. The short-run and long-run estimations are carried out using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds procedure. Causality is examined using the vector error correction method. Also, we conduct consistency and robustness checks using other regression methods. The results from the ARDL procedure indicate that the elasticity of income with respect to energy is 0.36. This implies that ceteris paribus, a 1% increase in energy consumption will increase output by 0.36%. The causality result supports the conservation hypothesis which implies that economic growth drives energy consumption, which is consistent with some of the earlier studies.
Economic Indicators Paradigm on the Labour Market in Lithuania and Slovakia
Authors: Burksaitiene Daiva , Jegelavičiūtė Rusnė , Grenčíková Adriana , Krajčo Karol , Sokol Jakub
Published: December 2019

Labour markets in the EU have been profoundly changed. Recently, unemployment rates have declined due to the economic recovery. The economic growth that Europe has been enjoying is extremely labour-intensive. Statistical data show that unemployment has been falling for several consecutive years. Labour markets of the former Eastern European countries are attractive for investors for their skilled labour and low cost of labour. Nevertheless, there are processes and phenomena occurring which can have damaging consequences to the labour markets. The present study compares current trends in the Slovak and Lithuanian labour market. Since the existing analyses usually address economic situation in the V4 countries, Baltic countries or compare their performance with developed EU countries, the originality of the paper lies in comparing the selected economic indicators on the Slovak and Lithuanian labour markets. The purpose of the study is to analyse and compare selected macroeconomic indicators of individual countries, to find paradigms of development on the labour market and to predict development forecasts in individual macroeconomic indicators. The authors' research revealed that long-term sustainable growth in the labour market is secured in both countries, based on the analysis of the development of indicators affecting the labour market. A polynomial model and the moving average model are used for the analysis. The arrival of the new crisis could stop this growth, but the countries have learned from the last crisis. Therefore, they are gradually making decisions to alleviate the consequences.
Forward recursion approach of electromagnetic wave propagation characteristics in a slab of inhomogeneous magnetoplasma
Authors: AL-Khateeb A. M. , Khasawneh M. A. , Bawa'aneh M. S.
Published: December 2019

Propagation characteristics of electromagnetic radiation incident on an inhomogeneous magnetoplasma slab near a good conducting metallic surface is investigated. The inhomogeneous plasma slab is divided into thin layers (sub-cells) in order to allow for treating each plasma sub-cell as a homogeneous medium. A global matrix is formed upon matching the fields at all interfaces, which allows for the analytical determination of the reflection, absorption and transmission coefficients. For matching the tangential fields at the metallic surface, an impedance (Leontovich) boundary condition has been used. Propagation characteristics are calculated numerically for a set of parameters that may be suitable for many applications including stealth plasma. Numerical results show resonant absorption peaks near the electron cyclotron frequency that increase by increasing the equilibrium plasma density. They also show absorption enhancement by increasing the plasma slab width.
