Published: January 2021

In this research, dissolution of chalcopyrite concentrate is modelled and optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Also, effective parameters in the leaching process such as the amount of pyrite, silver ions, redox potential and initial concentration of acid are comprehensively studied. Central Composite Design (CCD) methodology is chosen as the design matrix to predict the optimum level of the parameters. In the next step, it will be proven that in the presence of silver ions, pyrite effectiveness is improved and also the chalcopyrite dissolution rate is increased considerably. Using the result of quadratic programming, a rotation speed of 1000 rpm, a pyrite/chalcopyrite mass ratio of 3:1, the amount of 150 ppm silver ion, a solution potential set point of 470 mV, at 800°C and 25 g/L initial acid concentration are the optimal level of the selected parameters wherein the maximum copper extraction with more than 95% in less than 10 hours can be accessible.
The Concept of General Rules against Tax Evasion in Russian Tax Legislation
Authors: Andrianova N. G.
Published: January 2021

In conditions of unfair tax competition between states and increasing commitment of taxpayers to reducing the tax burden, countering tax evasion becomes an urgent problem. The implementation of general rules against tax evasion constitutes one of the most effective mechanisms to counter the erosion of the taxable base and the withdrawal of profits from taxation. The paper explores the theoretical foundations of general rules against tax evasion, highlights the experience of the European Union in terms of formation of the concept and legal design of general rules against tax evasion, and discloses the nature, purpose and cases of their use. Based on the analysis of the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, as well as the directives of the European Union containing provisions concerning general rules against tax evasion, the author draws a conclusion on structural elements inherent in general rules against tax evasion. The paper provides for an analysis of the experience of the Russian Federation in this area, proposes promising ways to improve the legislation enshrining general rules against tax evasion in Russia. The author researches judicial doctrines applied in the Russian Federation to recognize the tax benefit received by the taxpayer unjustified, analyzes the provisions of Art. 54.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The author concludes that there is a problem of uniform application of the provisions of Art. 54.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which violates the stability and predictability of tax practices necessary for enterprises’ business activities. The author also concludes that it is necessary to carry out substantial reviewing of the general rules against tax evasion in Russia in order to improve their application and consolidate additional guarantees of taxpayers’ rights.
Some Triable Issues in Disputes between Subjects of Insurance of the Developer’s Civil Liability
Authors: Goncharova A. A.
Published: January 2021

The paper explores the contradictions in judicial practice arising in the consideration of disputes between insurers and citizens — participants of share building. The objective of the paper is to identify the essence of the emerging disagreements between the subjects and determine their nature. The analysis takes into account changes in legislation affecting the field of share building. The author relies on the data of current jurisprudence. The author considers as the most common disagreements the applicability of consumer protection legislation to the relationships between the insurer and the beneficiary — the construction participant -- and the validity of payment of insurance compensation provided that the construction participant demands to transfer dwelling premises rather than monetary compensation. In both cases, the author has determined deficiencies in law. The former lacks the necessary legal rule, allowing courts to make decisions by applying different analogies of the law in resolving identical disputes. The second deficiency of the legal rule is not fully formulated, which makes the insurer’s position uncertain when replacing the lender.

Published: January 2021

The M 6.5 Monte Cristo Range earthquake that occurred in the central Walker Lane on 15 May 2020 was the largest earthquake in Nevada in 66 yr and resulted in a multidisciplinary scientific field response. The earthquake was the result of left-lateral slip along largely unmapped parts of the Candelaria fault, one of a series of east–northeast-striking faults that comprise the Mina deflection, a major right step in the north–northwest structural grain of the central Walker Lane. We describe the characteristics of the surface rupture and document distinct differences in the style and orientation of fractures produced along the 28 km long rupture zone. Along the western part of the rupture, left-lateral and extensional displacements occurred along northeasterly and north-striking planes that splay off the eastern termination of the mapped Candelaria fault. To the east, extensional and right-lateral displacements occurred along predominantly north-striking planes that project toward well-defined Quaternary and bedrock faults. Although, the largest left-lateral displacement observed was ∼20  cm, the majority of displacements were <5  cm and were distributed across broad zones up to 800 m wide, which are not likely to be preserved in the geologic record. The complex pattern of surface rupture is consistent with a network of faults defined in the shallow subsurface by aftershock seismicity and suggests that slip partitioning between east-striking left-lateral faults and north to northwest-striking right-lateral faults plays an important role in accommodating northwest-directed transtension in the central Walker Lane.
As Espiritualidades em Psicoterapeutas Junguianos e Transpessoais: Um Breve Estudo Fenomenológico

Published: January 2021

Spirituality as a human phenomenon presents itself as a significant aspect in the understanding and promotion of health, yet its study was neglected by psychological theories, with the exception of Jung's pioneering studies and the transpersonal approach. In this sense, we aim to present the vision of spirituality among psychologists from the city of Recife (in Brazil) who are guided by these theoretical lines, indicating how this phenomenon is experienced in their professional practices. We performed a phenomenological qualitative research that had as instrument the semi-structured interview with eight psychologists. The data were analyzed according to Bicudo's phenomenological approach and are in agreement with the scientific literature in this field, which indicates that there is no hegemonic definition of spirituality. There are visions of spiritualities, sometimes singular, sometimes common. Spirituality sometimes appears as synonymous with unconditional love, sometimes as access to the transcendent, without denying immanence. It also arises as internal energy and access to the Higher Self or just the Self. In the clinic it is considered as health promoter and approached from the demand in the Jungian perspective and seen as contextual in the transpersonal. We raised reflections on the importance of spirituality to the understanding of human being in its complexity.
Pesquisa Fenomenológica em Psicologia: Ainda a Questão do Método
Authors: SILVA Caio Monteiro , VIEIRA Emanuel Meireles , FREIRE José Célio
Published: January 2021

This paper aims to make a reflection about phenomenological research from the matter of ethics. The start point is the idea of that, in the investigation of human, ethics comes before epistemology and that, therefore, it would concer to any knowledge of this field to make questions about the place of what is purged by scientific method. It is pointed that such problem happens even with phenomenologically oriented researches, once that often many of them think about the problem of unity, but seldom think about the place of the difference that this unity may contain. It is understood that the concept of intentionality, that put together several phenomenological perspectives, such as Husserl's, Heidegger's, Merleau-Ponty's and Gadamer's, brings on itself questions that wrap the relationship between universal and particular, as well as ethical nuances, but there is not an operational description of how these questions become concrete in empirical research. As a solution to this problem, it is suggested a pragmatic-ethical solution, so that researcher must explain more clearly and operationally how phenomenological principles affect the research (pragmatic dimension), as well as it is also suggested that he must evidence the historical-relational dimension from wich he produces knowledge. Therefore, it is believed, it keeps preserved historicity and temporariness contained in the construction of knowledge.
Diálogos da Psicologia Existencialista com o Conceito de Território
Authors: SOUSA Adria De Lima , THUROW Charlene Fernanda , RODRIGUES Gabriela , SCHNEIDER Daniela Ribeiro
Published: January 2021

Jean-Paul Sartre, based on the phenomenological method and existentialist philosophy, described human reality as freedom in situation, understood in the indissoluble unity between itself and itself, that is, between freedom and facticity. Existence of the subject is not given abstractly, it occurs in a concrete space, circumscribed in materiality and acquires meaning in the light of the project of being. In defining the concept of situation, Sartre uses the notions of "my place" and "my surroundings", portraying materiality as a boundary condition of freedom. From this notion of spatiality, the present work aims to establish relations between the Sartrian concept of situation, as defined in Being and Nothingness, and the concept of territory used in several areas of knowledge that approach the relation between person and environment, such as geography, anthropology, ethology, psychology and other areas of health. The multiple possibilities of interdisciplinary interlocution of the notion of territory result from the dynamics of the concept, which is not limited to the physical environment, but brings together social and symbolic aspects in an integrated and dialectical way. Discussing the approximations between the concepts of territory, territoriality and situation contribute to the interdisciplinarity of the different areas that use them in professional practice

Changes in family relations and in the world socioeconomic panorama have led to a review of the roles of men and women in the exercise of their children's education. Aiming to know the reflexes of these changes, this research had as main objective to understand, from the point of view of the gestaltic approach, the meaning of being a father for man today. Six fathers between 30 and 40 years old, with children between the ages of 2 and 11, participated in the study. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and for its analysis was used the Giorgi phenomenological method. Four main categories were found: responsibility, closeness and coexistence, expressing affection and being a better father. It was noted that the father of the present is in the process of transformation, in a movement of closer approach of the children, seeking a more affective and meaningful relationship.
The Canonization of Carmen
Authors: Douglass William A.
Published: January 2021

This article explores many of the ways in which performance of a modern Basque pastorale,
or morality play—an art form with medieval roots—explores issues and conundrums of contemporary Basque
society and culture. These include maintenance of the Basque language and identity, the attitude of
Basques towards others, notably Spaniards and gypsies, and vice versa, and the survival of Basque rural
life in the face of the many challenges to it. Karmen Etxalarkoa Pastorala is but the most
recent recounting of the tragedy of Carmen, the quintessential gypsy of Prosper Merimée's novel and Bizet's
opera. In the work, she claims descent from the Navarrese village of Etxalar, and her ill-fated lover,
José Lizarrabengoa, is from the adjacent Valley of Baztan. I interweave my own mid-twentieth-century
anthropological research in Etxalar with the biographies of local residents and that of
the pastorale's author, Gerardo Mungia, as a ploy for narrating the genesis and
significance of Karmen Etxalarkoa Pastorala, not to mention its many ironies.
Knowledge, attitude and practice of foot care in diabetes patients with foot at risk attending diabetology department of a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Sivan Sruthy , Prasad Sruthi , Nandan Parvathy , Harikumar Haritha K. , Jacob Lallu Mariam , D. Thankam
Published: January 2021

Background: The current study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of foot care among diabetes patients with foot at risk, to evaluate the impact of counselling in terms of KAP score, VPT (vibration perception threshold) value, foot examination status and other clinical parameter, to assess the severity of peripheral neuropathy in diabetes patients based on VPT value and to assess the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy among men and women.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional and interventional study was conducted in the diabetology department of a tertiary care hospital in South India. A total of 100 diabetes patients with foot at risk were selected for the study. A questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of foot care among diabetes patients with foot at risk. The questionnaire consists of total 24 questions. Their knowledge, attitude and practice were classified as good, satisfactory and poor depending upon the score. For the KAP, if score is ≥70% it was regarded as good, 50-69% as satisfactory and <50% as poor.Results: The study assessed that among 100 patients, 6% of the participants had good knowledge before counselling and after counselling, 46% had satisfactory level of knowledge and 43% had good knowledge. Most of the patients had a good attitude towards foot care before and after counselling. Only 1% of patients were in good practice before counselling and after counselling 62% of the patients had satisfactory practice and 25% had good practice. The study revealed that about 53% had a VPT value of 26-50 V before providing counselling and after counselling about 43% of the participants VPT became 26-50 V. The study also showed that the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy according to VPT value is more in males than females.Conclusions: Poor knowledge and poor practice were observed among the diabetes patients with foot at risk who had attended the diabetology department. Poor knowledge and practice are the major reason for the amputation of limb as the people are unaware of their foot care. Thus, by providing proper education regarding foot care, the foot complications can be improved and there by the amputation rate can be reduced to an extent.

Published: January 2021

Background: Thrombocytopenia is a serious threat both to the mother and the fetus world over. We established the prevalence and associated immediate maternal complications of thrombocytopenia among women delivering at Kampala International University Teaching Hospital (KIUTH) so as to help us draw a platform for provision of appropriate interventions.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study involving 386 women was conducted in the months of May 2019 to August 2019. Questionnaires and laboratory result forms were used to obtain the data. Data analyses were conducted using STATA version 14.2.Results: The prevalence of thrombocytopenia was 15.8%. Significant immediate maternal outcomes were placenta abruption which was higher among women with thrombocytopenia (44.3%) than those with no thrombocytopenia (2.2%; p<0.001) and postpartum haemorrhage which was higher among those with thrombocytopenia (45.9%) than those with no thrombocytopenia (6.8%; p<0.001).Conclusions: Thrombocytopenia is a serious obstetric issue worth paying extra attention at this facility.

Authors: S. Janani , Shankar Kundavi , V. Geetha , Basith Abdul
Published: January 2021

Background: Endometriosis affects up to 30-40% of women seeking fertility treatment and is known to reduce fecundity. There remains a debate on the effect of endometriosis on the IVF outcome, with live birth not reported in most studies. This study looks at the impact of endometriosis on live birth rates after IVF and compares the chances of success with those without endometriosis.Methods: Retrospective analysis of women who underwent IVF at our institution for 2 years were included. Multiple factor infertility, ovulation disorders and donor program were excluded. The outcomes were compared for 4 cohorts - women with endometriosis, male factor infertility, tubal factor infertility and unexplained infertility. The primary outcome was live birth rate. Other outcome measures were total dose of gonadotropins used, mean number of oocytes collected, M2 oocyte rate, fertilization rate, implantation rate, and clinical pregnancy rate.Results: Patients diagnosed with endometriosis had lower mean number of oocytes collected (6.86 vs 7.69, 7.94, 7.45) and lower mean number of M2 oocytes (5.31 vs 6.21, 6.44, 5.91) but was not statistically significant. Endometriosis patients required significantly higher dose of gonadotropins when compared to controls (5365.79 IU;  p-0.001). The per ET implantation rate (10.4% vs 17.8%, 22.5%, 19.2%), clinical pregnancy rate (8% vs 15%, 20%, 17%), live birth rate (7.92% vs 16.6%, 15.14%, 12%) and the cumulative live birth rate (27.9% vs 46.5%, 60%, 46.7%) were significantly less in women with endometriosis (p-0.039, p-0.021, p-0.001, p-0.039 respectively) and the effect is more pronounced with increasing disease severity.Conclusions: Endometriosis affects all aspects of IVF outcomes including folliculogenesis, embryo development and implantation. Though ovarian factor can be overruled by increasing the stimulation doses as in our study, methods to improve the implantation rates should be thought about in future.

Published: January 2021

Background: Aim of the study was to find out foeto-maternal outcome of multifoetal pregnancy in relation to chorionicity and to analyse the associated risk factors.Methods: This study was a prospective observational study on multifoetal pregnancy conducted at Midnapore medical college and hospital. Statistical analysis was done by chi-square test and statistical significance was set at p-value<0.05.Results: Incidence of multifoetal pregnancy was 1.7%. Modal age group was 20-24 years age and 82% conceived spontaneously. Among chorionicity, Dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) were 60% followed by 34% Monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA), 4% Monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) and 2% Trichorionic triamniotic (TCTA). Among maternal complications preterm labour were present in both twins and triplets followed by anemia. LSCS was required in 60.8 % of twins and common indication was malpresentation. Majority of MC and TC were delivered at gestational age of 31-33 weeks (47.1% MCDA, 50% MCMA and 60% TCTA) and dichorionic delivered at 34-36 week (48.7%). Statistical association between neonatal outcomes and chorionicity were significant in IUGR (p=<0.0001), stillbirth (p=0.0356), congenital anomalies (p=0.0017), discordant growth (p<0.0001), Apgar score <7 (p<0.0001), low birth weight (p=0.014), live birth (p≤0.0001) and NICU admission (p<0.0001).Conclusions: Maternal and perinatal outcome was significant in monochorionic and trichorionic pregnancies compared to dichorionic pregnancies with increased NICU admissions required in monochorionic and trichorionic gestations.

Published: January 2021

Background: Sickle cell disease is a hereditary haematological disorder prevalent in tribal regions of India. Sickle cell disease can increase complications during pregnancy and in turn negatively influence pregnancy outcomes. This study reports the analysis of tribal maternal admissions in the tertiary centre S.S.G. Hospital, Baroda, Gujarat. Hence this study was conducted to assess complications in pregnancy and maternal and perinatal outcome among women with Sickle cell disease.Methods: It was a retrospective observational study including all pregnant women with sickle cell disease after 20 weeks of gestation who delivered at S.S.G. Hospital, Baroda from August 2019 to August 2020.Results: There were 43 antenatal women with Sickle cell disease during the study period. There was increased risk of obstetric complications like gestational hypertension (11.62%), preeclampsia (9.3%), eclampsia (6.97%), HELLP syndrome (4.65%), intrauterine growth retardation (23.25%), and oligohydramnios (11.62%). Medical complications observed were mainly anaemia (53.48%), vaso-occlusive crisis (18.16%), acute chest syndrome (4.65%) and infections like urinary tract infection (6.97%) and pneumonia (4.65%). The incidence of low birth weight babies (56.94%), low APGAR score (11.62%) and neonatal ICU admissions (23.25%) was high. 6.5% cases of maternal mortality and 4.65% cases of perinatal mortality was observed.Conclusions: Pregnancy in Sickle cell disease is associated with an increased maternal morbidity and high perinatal mortality due to obstetric and medical complications.

Published: January 2021

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease which is also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease, is causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. There may have association of serum uric acid, homocystine and ferritin with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. But we have not enough data regarding these issues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of serum uric acid, homocystine and ferritin with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Methods: It was a case-control study conducted in the department of neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2010 to December 2011. Finalized 76 study people were divided into two equal groups containing 38 participants in each. In group I (case group) there were 38 patients with ALS and in group II (control group) there were 38 healthy people. The correlation of annual decline of ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALS-FRS) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were analyzed. Data were collected through pre-designed questioners and processed and analyzed by using SPSS version 11.5.Results: In this study the inverse correlation between serum uric acid and the annual decline of ALS-FRS in male, spearman rho correlation was -0.37 (p<0.01) and in female it was -0.78 (p<0.001). The inverse correlation between serum uric acid and the annual decline of FVC were in male, spearman rho correlation was -0.33 (p<0.05) and in female it was -0.39 (p<0.05). Inverse correlation between homocystine and the annual decline of ALS-FRS in male, spearman rho correlation was -0.42 (p<0.02) and in female, it was -0.64 (p<0.001). The inverse correlation between homocystine and the annual decline of FVC in male, spearman rho correlation was -0.41 (p<0.04) and in female, spearman rho correlation was -0.37 (p<0.05). The inverse correlation between serum ferritin and the annual decline of ALS-FRS in male, spearman rho correlation was 0.47 (p<0.01) and in female, spearman rho correlation was 0.76 (p<0.001). The inverse correlation between serum ferritin and the annual decline of FVC in male, spearman rho correlation was 0.49 (p<0.001) and in female, it was 0.71 (p<0.001).Conclusions: In most of the cases we found significant correlation of serum uric acid, serum homocystine and serum ferritin with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). So all these components would be considered as some potential indicators or bio-markers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Published: January 2021

Coronavirus disease-19 is a viral infection that has spread to the entire regions across the globe. Current evidence shows that diabetes mellitus patients are highly susceptible to severe complications, morbidity and mortality due to this infection. The high susceptibility may be as a result of the associated pathophysiology of coronavirus disease-19 and diabetes mellitus co-morbidity in affected individuals. This narrative review was undertaken to highlight the implications of coronavirus disease-19 infection on diabetes mellitus patients in developing countries with a focus on Nigeria which has a weak health care system and poor clinical patients’ characteristics. A critical literature search was carried out on coronavirus disease-19 and diabetes mellitus. Relevant items were assembled to form the current review on coronavirus disease-19 infections and its implications on diabetes mellitus management in developing countries. The review highlighted the significance of proper glycaemic control as coronavirus disease-19 increases the susceptibility of diabetes mellitus patients to morbidity and mortality which could be overwhelming as the incidence of the infection increases across developing countries like Nigeria.

Con base en los lineamientos del concepto “autonomía tecnológica”, la Empresa Nuclear Argentina de Centrales Eléctricas S. A. (Enace S. A.), constituida en 1980 a partir del consorcio entre la Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica y Siemens Kraftwerk Union, intentó conformar un Arquitecto Industrial encargado de la instalación de Centrales Nucleares, además de promover el entrenamiento de personal argentino, incrementar la participación de la industria local y adquirir el know how de la ingeniería y el diseño de los reactores. Sin embargo, a pesar de instrumentarse políticas de corte neoliberal, la empresa perdió su sentido original y fue disuelta en 1996. Este trabajo apunta a realizar una aproximación general a través del análisis de las fuentes disponibles, pues la producción historiográfica sobre el tema resulta prácticamente inexistente.

Methods: A total of 157 (79 males, 78 females) patients between the ages of 17 and 77 years (mean age: 33.7 ± 14.9 years) were included in the study. Using paranasal sinus computed tomography imaging, anatomical variations including nasal septal deviation, Agger nasi cells, Haller cells, Onodi Cells, sphenoid sinus pneumatisation, paradoxical middle turbinates, middle turbinate pneumatisation, maxillary sinus septa,vertical septa in the sphenoid sinus, optic nerve dehiscenceand cribriform plate lamina lateralis height were evaluated. Results: Agger nasi cells were present in 47.1% of cases, Haller cells were seen in 5% of cases and Onodi cells were observed in 23.6% of cases. In 70.1% of cases, one vertical septa in the sphenoid sinus was observed. Maxillary sinus septa was observed in 16.5% of cases. There was a significant negative correlation between the female gender and increased sphenoid sinus pneumatisation (p = 0.035). There was a positive correlation between maxillary sinus septa and the presence of Onodi cells (pright =0.045, pleft = 0.017). There was also a negative correlation between maxillary sinus septa and sphenoid sinus pneumatisation (pright = 0.001, pleft = 0.005). Conclusions: In our study, we found that maxillary sinus septa, Agger nasi, Haller cells, cribriform plate lamina lateralis height, sphenoid sinus septation and Onodi cells were interrelated. We recommend that surgeons evaluate patients with these variations to prevent complications.
Mythos, Archetyp und Translation. Die Prosa von Bruno Schulz im Kontext der Ideen von Thomas Mann und Carl Gustav Jung
Authors: Lukas Katarzyna
Published: January 2021

Der Beitrag handelt von den Beziehungen zwischen den Werken des polnisches Schriftstellers Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) und der kulturphilosophischen Reflexion von Thomas Mann sowie der Tiefenpsychologie von C.G. Jung. Das OEuvre von Schulz erscheint als diskursive Translation von Konzepten wie dem Mythos, dem Archetyp und dem kollektiv Unbewussten, die der polnische Autor in sein eigenes poetologisches Programm überträgt. Die vorhandenen deutschen Übersetzungen von Schulz’ Texten geben diese intertextuelle Relation nicht wieder: Sie sind nicht in der Lage, die Schlüsselidee vom Künstler als Medium des kollektiv Unbewussten zu vermitteln und implizieren eine andere Sprachphilosophie als diejenige, die im Werk von Schulz verschlüsselt ist.
Zeitgenössische österreichische Prosatexte von Frauen und feministische Konzepte – eine Spiegelgeschichte
Authors: Drynda Joanna
Published: January 2021

Der Text ist ein Versuch, die gegenwärtige österreichische Prosa von Frauen im Spiegel feministischer Konzepte zu zeigen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei den andersgearteten Entwicklungen in Österreich und in Deutschland. Diese zeichnen sich – was die Suche nach neuen künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen betrifft – bereits nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ab und erfahren eine Radikalisierung seit dem Anfang der 1970er Jahre. Werden die Thematik oder das Sprachverständnis auch von der jüngsten Autorinnengeneration nicht angezweifelt, so verstehen diese ihr Engagement dennoch anders. Die engagierten Feministinnen von einst hingegen spüren einem neuen Ausschlussphänomen nach – dem Alter.
Zwischen Norm und Verwendung. Zum Kasusgebrauch im Deutschen und Polnischen
Authors: Aptacy Jarosław
Published: January 2021

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Versuch unternommen, Diskrepanzen zwischen der Norm und Verwendung der Kasuskategorie im Deutschen und Polnischen aufzuzeigen und analytisch zu beschreiben. Bezüglich des Deutschen werden Fälle der adverbalen und adpräpositionalen Kasusrektion anhand authentischer Belege untersucht. Aus der Analyse folgt, dass im Kasusgebrauch eine beachtliche Verunsicherung (z. B. Dativ statt Genitiv, Nominativ statt Akkusativ, Genitiv statt Dativ) zu verzeichnen ist, die künftig zu einem nachhaltigen Sprachwandel führen könnte. Im Polnischen dagegen wird eine allgemeine Tendenz zur Ersetzung des Genitivs durch den Akkusativ, v.a. bei der Satznegation, beobachtet.
Konventionen in der Kommunikation über die religiöse Identität. Ein deutsch-polnischer Vergleich
Authors: Maciejewski Marcin
Published: January 2021

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Gebrauch von Äußerungstypen, in denen sich Autoren in Internetforen in ihren argumentativen Handlungen auf ihre Konfession berufen. Untersucht werden vor allem Äußerungsmuster wie Ich bin katholisch / evangelisch / protestantisch, aber … Ziel des Beitrags ist, diese Muster kontrastiv im deutsch-polnischen Vergleich zu präsentieren. Insbesondere geht es hier um die Untersuchung ihrer Funktionen (z. B. Signalisierung und Demonstration von intellektueller Unabhängigkeit, von kritischer Einstellung, Offenheit oder Toleranz) sowie ihrer thematischen Ebene. Die Analyse stellt einen interdisziplinären Beitrag für die Erforschung des aktuellen Phänomens der Patchwork-Religion dar.

Feuilletons, Essays, Berichte und Interviews zum Ziel. Durch den Zugriff auf aktuelle und auf dem Markt erhältliche Veröffentlichungen anerkannter Sprachwissenschaftler und Experten wird im medialen Rahmen die Charakterisierung des besagten Sprachphänomens ermöglicht.
Politischer Antidialog – Kommunikation zwischen Abweichung und Norm
Authors: Kaczmarek Dorota
Published: January 2021

Die Sprache der Politiker sollte die in einer gegebenen Kultur herrschenden Standards und akzeptablen Normen widerspiegeln; das wird von einer Sprache im öffentlichen Raum zumindest erwartet. Das Gegenteil beweist jedoch die Sprache des Antidialogs, der im vorliegenden Text eine spezifische Kommunikationsform zwischen den zwei führenden polnischen Oppositionsparteien ‚Recht und Gerechtigkeit‘ und ‚Bürgerplattform‘ bezeichnet. Im Folgenden wird einerseits versucht, die Eigenart eines ‚Parteilektesʻ als einer parteiprofilierenden, identitätsstiftenden Sprachverwendung zu bestimmen, die etwa dazu dient, die politischen Gegner sprachlich zu diffamieren. Andererseits soll überlegt werden, ob und wo ‚Parteilekte‘ auf der Skala zwischen Norm – Abweichung – ‚politisch etablierte‘ Norm zu platzieren sind.
La cowdriose au Sénégal : quelques aspects épidémiologiques
Authors: Gueye A. , Mbengue M. , Dieye T. , Diouf A. , Seye M. , Seye M.H.
Published: January 2021

Les résultats d'une étude sur l'abondance d'Amblyomma variegatum dans des zones écologiques différentes et des taux d'infection par Cowdria ruminantium dans les nymphes et les adultes de la tique de la zone nord-guinéenne sont présentés. En même temps la séroprévalence a été déterminée. Selon cette étude, le vecteur est le plus fréquent dans la zone nord-guinéenne, suivie par la zone sud-soudanienne et la zone côtière des Niayes. Ailleurs, les populations de la tique sont absentes ou peu importantes. Le taux d'infection dans la zone nord-guinéenne est élevé : 1,1 p. 100 au moins chez les tiques adultes et 7,8 p. 100 chez les nymphes. La séroprévalence dans les zones nord-soudanienne et soudano-sahélienne est très basse à l'intérieur, tandis qu'elle est plus élevée proche de la côte.
L’ultrastructure de lamicrovasculature cérébrale de chèvres infectées expérimentalement avec Cowdria ruminantium
Authors: Mwamengele G.L.M. , Larsen S.
Published: January 2021

Afin d’étudier les lésions de la microvasculature cérébrale dans la cowdriose, 14 chèvres tanzaniennes ont été infectées par inoculation intraveineuse avec le stock Ball-3 de Cowdria ruminantium. Elles ont été suivies sur le plan clinique pendant la période d’incubation et la réaction fébrile, et sacrifiées lorsque les températures ont commencé à baisser. Cinq chèvres saines ont été utilisées pour déterminer la meilleure procédure pour la fixation du cerveau par perfusion et pour servir de témoins. La perfusion a été effectuée par l’artère carotide sous anesthésie générale au pentobarbitone, utilisant du glutaraldehyde de pH 7,4 à 3 p.100, à 500 mOsm. Des prélèvements de tissu cérébral ont été pris pour microscopie classique et électronique. Des signes variables de désordres du système nerveux central et un hydropéricarde peu important se sont développés chez toutes les chèvres infectées. Deux changements neuropathologiques différents ont été observés : des colonies de Cowdria dans des cellules endothéliales vasculaires, sans autres changements, et des petites infiltrations périvasculaires de cellules mononucléaires. Aucun signe de vasculite ou d’une perméabilité vasculaire anormale n’a été observé. Plusieurs phagocytes périvasculaires renfermaient des inclusions cytoplasmiques inhabituelles, se présentant comme des agrégations de particules irrégulièrement arrondies, associées à une membrane, de 0,25 à 0,4 µm de diamètre, ayant dans quelques cas une structure interne évocatrice de mitochondries partiellement dégradées. Néanmoins, ces agrégations ne semblaient pas enfermées de façon convaincante à l’intérieur de membranes, comme il est à à prévoir en cas d’autophagocytose. Une autre interprétation hypothétique est qu’elles représentent des stades abortifs de C. ruminantium qui tentent de se développer en dehors des vaisseaux et qu’une réponse immunitaire cellulaire, développée pendant et après la période d’incubation, limite ce deuxième cycle dans l’hôte et provoque des infiltrations périvasculaires mononucléaires.
Epidémiologie de la trypanosomose à T. evansi chez le dromadaire au Mali : résultats d'enquêtes parasitologiques et cliniques
Authors: Diall O. , Bocoum Z. , Diarra B. , Sanogo Y. , Coulibaly Z. , Waïgalo Y.
Published: January 2021

L'épidémiologie de la trypanosomose du dromadaire a été étudiée au Mali dans les régions d'élevage. Basée sur des enquêtes parasitologiques et cliniques, elle a révélé des taux d'infection globaux de 9,5 % (29/305) dans le Sahel occidental (zone I) et de 4,5 % (28/627) dans les zones de Tombouctou et de Gao (zone II). La proportion de troupeaux contaminés a été de 55 % en région I et de 68 % en région II. Certains troupeaux se trouvent infectés à plus de 50 % de leurs effectifs. Nos enquêtes ont montré une tendance à l'accroissement de la prévalence parasitologique avec l'âge. Alors que celle-ci est virtuellement nulle chez les jeunes de moins d'un an, elle s'accroît avec l'âge pour atteindre son maximum dans la classe de 2-5 ans. Les auteurs montrent que l'infection a un effet significativement négatif sur l'hématocrite et sur l'état général, confirmant la pathogénicité de Trypanosoma evansi pour le dromadaire. Ce trypanosome a été le seul (ou presque le seul) rencontré chez le dromadaire au Mali. Il ne semble pas causer d'infections patentes chez d'autres espèces animales, évoluant dans le même milieu.

Authors: Almeida Lia de Azevedo , Silva Lucas Braga da , Silva Luana Ferreira da Silva
Published: January 2021

A Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos prevê a elaboração de planos nacional, estaduais, microrregionais, intermunicipais e municipais de gestão integrada de resíduos (Brasil, 2010). Diante disso, o objetivo foi analisar as capacidades político-relacionais mobilizadas pela rede formada pelos atores/participantes na oficina técnica de elaboração do Plano Estadual de Resíduos Sólidos do Tocantins (PERS/TO), ocorrida em outubro de 2015 em Palmas. Foram coletados relatórios da Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos (Semarh) e aplicado um questionário junto aos participantes da oficina técnica, que buscou identificar os interesses dos diversos atores e investigar a estrutura e função da rede. Os dados foram analisados com o apoio do software Visone 2.7.
INSTAGRAM CELEBRITY AND POVERTY: adhesion and opposition to high visibility models in the tense search for the right to be seen
Authors: Silva Fabiana Moraes da
Published: January 2021

This article analyses the profiles of four people from popular classes in Northeast Brazil: Carlinhos Maia, Branca Diva, Cauã Kardashian and MC Loma. With thousands or even millions of followers on Instagram, all of them display a narrative — fuelled by their fans — in which elements usually associated with the super famous (mansions, pools, travels) are valued at the same time that signs of humbleness are emphasized. In this unstable place, one perceives a specific tension in the process of being recognized among those who experience fame for the first time. Pacts regarding skin bleaching and erasure of poverty go hand in hand with the exposure of the latter as a value in itself - it is poverty, after all, that will sustain the myth of overcoming.
