Authors: Khatun Hafiza , Wada Yasuhiko , Konno Toshihiro , Tatemoto Hideki , Yamanaka Ken-ichi
Published: January 2020

We have previously reported that regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during in vitro culture acutely increases bovine embryo developmental rate and cryotolerance; these data indicate that ER stress is a critical factor reducing the quality of in vitro-produced embryos. In the current follow-up study, we examined whether ER stress attenuation during in vitro maturation influences meiotic maturation, oocyte quality, and subsequent embryonic development. Bovine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) derived from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured with or without tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a selective inhibitor of ER stress (0, 50, 100, and 200 µM) for 22 h followed by in vitro fertilization, and zygotes were cultured for 8 days. Of the different doses of TUDCA, 100 μM TUDCA significantly increased the maturation rate, and decreased reactive oxygen species in denuded oocytes, and appeared lower number of apoptotic cells in matured COCs. Subsequently, treatment of TUDCA (100 µM) decreased the localization and amount of GRP78/BIP protein level as well as ER stress (GRP78/BIP, PERK, IER1, ATF4, and XBP1) and apoptosis (CHOP and BAX)-related gene expression, while it increased the anti-apoptotic gene BCL2 level in matured COCs. Moreover, addition of TUDCA (100 µM) during IVM significantly improved the blastocyst formation rate (43.6 ± 1.8% vs 49.7 ± 1.3%) and decreased the number of apoptotic cells (7.7 ± 1.1% vs 5.03 ± 0.6%) in blastocysts. These findings suggest that the presence of ER stress during maturation impairs the developmental competence of bovine COCs and that this process can be reversed by TUDCA.
Mechanisms underlying disruption of oocyte spindle stability by bisphenol compounds
Authors: Yang Luhan , Baumann Claudia , De La Fuente Rabindranth , Viveiros Maria M
Published: January 2020

Accurate chromosome segregation relies on correct chromosome-microtubule interactions within a stable bipolar spindle apparatus. Thus, exposure to spindle disrupting compounds can impair meiotic division and genomic stability in oocytes. The endocrine disrupting activity of bisphenols such as bisphenol A (BPA) is well recognized, yet their damaging effects on spindle microtubules (MTs) is poorly understood. Here, we tested the effect(s) of acute exposure to BPA and bisphenol F (BPF) on assembled spindle stability in ovulated oocytes. Brief (4 h) exposure to increasing concentrations (5, 25, and 50 µg/mL) of BPA or BPF disrupted spindle organization in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in significantly shorter spindles with highly unfocused poles and fragmented pericentrin. The chromosomes remained congressed in an abnormally elongated metaphase-like configuration, yet normal end-on chromosome-MT attachments were reduced in BPF-treated oocytes. Live-cell imaging revealed a rapid onset of bisphenol-mediated spindle MT disruption that was reversed upon compound removal. Moreover, MT stability and regrowth were impaired in BPA-exposed oocytes, with few cold-stable MTs and formation of multipolar spindles upon MT regrowth. MT-associated kinesin-14 motor protein (HSET/KIFC1) labeling along the spindle was also lower in BPA-treated oocytes. Conversely, cold stable MTs and HSET labeling persisted after BPF exposure. Notably, inhibition of Aurora Kinase A limited bisphenol-mediated spindle pole widening, revealing a potential interaction. These results demonstrate rapid MT disrupting activity by bisphenols, which is highly detrimental to meiotic spindle stability and organization. Moreover, we identify an important link between these defects and altered distribution of key spindle associated factors as well as Aurora Kinase A activity.
Molecular therapies delaying cardiovascular aging: disease- or health-oriented approaches
Authors: Magenta Alessandra , Lorde Reggio , Syed Sunayana Begum , Capogrossi Maurizio C , Puca Annibale , Madeddu Paolo
Published: January 2020

Regenerative medicine is a new therapeutic modality that aims to mend tissue damage by encouraging the reconstitution of physiological integrity. It represents an advancement over conventional therapies that allow reducing the damage but result in disease chronicization. Age-related decline in spontaneous capacity of repair, especially in organs like the heart that have very limited proliferative capacity, contributes in reducing the benefit of conventional therapy. ncRNAs are emerging as key epigenetic regulators of cardiovascular regeneration. Inhibition or replacement of miRNAs may offer reparative solutions to cardiovascular disease. The first part of this review article is devoted to illustrating novel therapies emerging from research on miRNAs. In the second part, we develop new therapeutic concepts emerging from genetics of longevity. Prolonged survival, as in supercentenarians, denotes an exceptional capacity to repair and cope with risk factors and diseases. These characteristics are shared with offspring, suggesting that the regenerative phenotype is heritable. New evidence indicates that genetic traits responsible for prolongation of health span in humans can be passed to and benefit the outcomes of animal models of cardiovascular disease. Genetic studies have also focused on determinants of accelerated senescence and related druggable targets. Evolutionary genetics assessing the genetic basis of adaptation and comparing successful and unsuccessful genetic changes in response to selection within populations represent a powerful basis to develop novel therapies aiming to prolong cardiovascular and whole organism health.
Lithuanian Mythological Creatures Laumės and their Equivalents in Russian and English
Authors: Gimževskienė Karolina
Published: January 2020

This article aims to find cultural equivalents for the Lithuanian mythological creature laumė in the English and Russian languages. Therefore, a comparative analysis of similar mythological creatures in Lithuanian, Russian and English languages and cultures was carried out. The results of the analysis have shown which names of these creatures might be considered cultural equivalents. Such information is useful not only when choosing a domestication strategy, but for a foreignization strategy as well because these equivalents can be used both in the translation text itself and in additional extratextual comments. The conclusions given at the end of this article may be of practical importance for translators or authors writing about Lithuanian mythology and folklore for English or Russian speaking readers.
Fact and Fiction: The Contribution of Archives to the Study of Literary Translation
Authors: Wardle Mary
Published: January 2020

This paper examines the role of traditional physical archives within Translation Studies research, investigating the contribution that such resources can add, providing information that otherwise would not be available in existing scholarly volumes, academic journals and digital material. The question is illustrated with the specific case of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925) and its first two translations into Italian, carried out respectively in 1936 by Cesare Giardini and 1950 by Fernanda Pivano. Both translations were published by Mondadori, Italy’s largest publishing company, as part of two different series, I romanzi della palma and the later Medusa collection.Adopting a microhistory approach, the study of these translations, through the resource-rich archives of the Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori in Milan, can shed light on a number of issues that the text alone cannot provide: documentation, including the other books published in the same series, highlights the target audience that Mondadori were seeking to address; the paratextual elements of the books themselves are revealing of the prominence (or otherwise) of American literature in general and Fitzgerald in particular within the Italian literary polysystem at the time of their publication; in the case of the first translation, readers’ reports on the novel indicate how the censors of the Fascist regime might receive the somewhat racy themes contained in the book, while, in the case of the 1950 translation, correspondence between the publisher, literary agents and the translator herself highlight the many issues surrounding the ultimate publication of the volume.
Green Colour-based Metaphorical Terms: Translating EU Documents from English into Lithuanian and Italian
Authors: Kamandulytė Aušra
Published: January 2020

The object of this article is metaphorical terms in EU legal discourse. It discusses the concept of a metaphorical term, the usage of such terms in EU legal acts and their role in modern LSP texts, with a focus on their translation. The study analyses metaphorical terms with the lexeme “green” as used in secondary legislation, published between 2016 and 2017, and the motivation of term formation in the source language and translation strategies of rendering these terms into Lithuanian and Italian. The results suggest that in most cases word-for-word translation is used when translating colour-based metaphorical terms, thereby preserving the colour lexeme of the source language in the target language and, thus, the metaphorical character of the term itself. Although the study covers a relatively short period, it confirms the idea that has already been raised in some papers on terminology about an increasing trend of using metaphorical terms in Lithuanian legal texts, even though this is less persistent than in Italian, the language chosen for comparison.
Text as Image: A Case Study of the Lithuanian Translation of Art Spiegelman’s Graphic Novel MAUS
Authors: Pekūnas Žygimantas
Published: January 2020

This article contributes to the multimodal investigation of comics translation, a highly semiotic activity. The author discusses the visual representation of the text as an image through a case study of the Lithuanian translation of Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel MAUS (translated into Lithuanian by Juškienė and Lempert, 2012). While viewing multimodality as a translation tool and a challenging area, he claims that the visual representation of the text is an integral part of the original multimodal event, whereby the meaning is conveyed through an intrinsic relationship between verbal and non-verbal elements, and that any distortion of those would result in alterations or losses in meaning. The results demonstrated that indeed even the smallest alterations of the visual representation of the text produced shifts in meaning; most of those shifts were pragmatic ambiguities, however, in certain instances there was a loss of semantic emphasis or narrative production. Comics translators and publishers are thus urged to fully comprehend the very dynamic and complex nature of multimodal texts and make every effort to ensure that translation would not result in any multimodal disruptions, if such preservation is technologically available.

Abstract This Article analyses a keen relationship between mass media and the audience, and also analyses between their elemenets and attibutes that intersects one to another. After the awareness of both sides (mass media and the audience) meet, mingle, and even grapple in the process of productions and receptions, they mutually produce an awareness that make them both more mature, i.e. the awareness of mass media related to its role and its function; and the awareness of the audience regarding their essence and their existence as an audience.---Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji hubungan yang saling menginginkan antara berita di media massa dan audience serta elemen dan atribut yang saling bersinggungan diantara keduanya. Setelah kesadaran pada masing-masing pihak bertemu, berjabatan, bahkan bersitegang dalam proses produksi dan resepsinya, kemudian lahirlah kesadaran yang mendewasakan diantara keduanya, kesadaran media massa akan peran dan fungsinya dan kesadaran audience terhadap esensi dan eksistensinya sebagai seorang audience.DOI: 10.15408/al-turas.v23i1.4807
Synchrotron-based Radiography of Conical- vs. Butt-joint Implant Abutment Connections
Authors: Angermair Johannes , Wiest Wolfram , Rack Alexander , Zabler Simon , Fretwurst Tobias , Nelson Katja
Published: January 2020

As a possible reason for mechanical and microbiological complications, the stability of conical implant-abutment and butt-joint connections is crucial for the long-term prognosis of dental implants.Therefore, the present study quantitatively assessed microgap formation and abutment displacement in different implant-abutment designs. Three implant systems with conical implant-abutment connections Medentika, Medentis, NobelActive and one system with a butt-joint connection Semados implants were tested. For different static loadings and angles (30 N - 90º, 100 N - 90º, 200 N - 30º) abutment displacement and microgap formation were calculated using synchrotron-based microtomography and phase-contrast radioscopy. The method using numerical forward simulation of the optical Fresnel propagation allowed for an accuracy down to 0.1 µm. Microgaps were present in all implant systems prior to loading (0.15 - 9µm). Values increased with mounting force and angle up to 40.5 µm at an off axis loading of 100 N in a 90 degree angle. In contrast to butt-joint connections conical connections demonstrated a tilting abutment displacement with a deformation of the outer implant wall visible in Medentika implants. The connection design seems to be crucial for the force distribution on the implant wall. Varying force distribution could lead to peri-implant bone loss under favorable conditions such as peri-implant inflammation.
Sounding Shakespeare: An Interdisciplinary Educational Design Project in English and Music
Authors: Pande-Rolfsen Marthe Sofie , Heide Anne-Lise
Published: January 2020

This article outlines Sounding Shakespeare, an interdisciplinary project in Music and English, carried out with student teachers in Norway. The aims of the project are to explore and develop new ways of working with Shakespeare cross-curricularly through educational design research, focusing on creative and aesthetic processes in order for student teachers to gain experience in working across subjects, and to decrease their fear factor of using Shakespeare in the classroom. The current curriculum changes in Norwegian primary and secondary education (Fagfornyelsen) focus on experimentation, exploration and creative processes, and these are guiding educational principles that also provide a foundation for the Sounding Shakespeare project. Our research into student teachers’ experiences of working with Shakespeare’s texts, constitute the starting point for this article. In the project, students worked in two different workshops with Speech and Music Composition to collaborate and devise a performance based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream as their focus text. Through voice and prosody, students explored the musicality of Shakespeare’s text, and through music composition, students experimented with soundscapes in creative processes. In the final part of the workshops, students collaborated towards performances. Based on our collected data, our main finding shows how music can become a guiding agent for a meaningful experience of literature.
The Puck Project: A Shakespeare Performance and Ethics Program for Kids
Authors: Gulledge John , Duquette Kelly , Mann Mary Taylor
Published: January 2020

The Puck Project is a performance-based summer program for K-6 learners in partnership with a non-profit agency that supports homeless families in Atlanta, GA. The Puck Project’s curriculum focuses on the ethical toolkit individuals acquire when they embark upon a journey of performance. The project’s aim was to cultivate skills relevant to building a community, formulating and expressing ideas as a team, reading and responding to the emotions of others, and accessing and attending to emotions in oneself. Together these skills serve a larger aim of cultivating what Gretchen Case and Daniel Brauner have called “empathetic imagination.” Central to empathetic imagination is translation, a powerful framework for pedagogical aims such as “transfer” and “carrying over.” The Puck Project de-centers the dramatic text in favor of the learner’s lived realities. Using Rex Gibson’s theory that the ambiguities of Shakespeare’s plays provide the soil in which actors may create their own meaning and experience, the Puck Project encourages performers to provide their own translations of a script based on their unique histories. We discuss how young performers are able to make connections about embodied expression, emotional intelligence, and broader forms of literacy.

Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify factors associated with depressive symptoms in elderly caregivers with chronic pain. Method: the study included people 60 years of age or older who reported chronic pain and cared for another elderly person living in the same household (n=186). Statistical analyzes were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, univariate and multiple logistic regression. Results: most participants had no depressive symptoms (70.4%), 24.2% had mild depressive symptoms and 5.4% had severe symptoms. Univariate analysis showed that the variables family income, number of diseases, number of medications in use, pain intensity, overload and perceived stress were associated with depressive symptoms. Multivariate analysis found an association with perceived stress (95% CI 1.101-1207) and number of medications (95% CI 1.139-1.540) in use. Conclusion: factors associated with depressive symptoms in elderly caregivers with chronic pain were stress and the number of medications in use.

ABSTRACT Objective: Assess components of the Psychosocial Attention Network (RAPS) in crack user care in a Rio Grande do Sul municipality. Method: Qualitative study based on Fourth Generation Evaluation. Data collection occurred in 2014, through participating observation and interviews based on the Hermeneutic-Dialectic Circle. Ten uses, eleven family members, seven managers and eight workers at a Psychosocial Attention Center participated. The Constant Comparative Method was used for data analysis. Results: Difficulties were observed in the network articulation with the general hospital, due to prejudice and the lack of structure of the team. SAMU’s (Mobile Emergency Care Service) dependence on the Military Brigade for the service indicates a frailty of the network. The need to re-think the way therapeutic farms operate in the network is a consensus. Conclusion: RAPS is being implemented and its concretization depends on the involvement of professionals, managers and social control of users and family members.
Feeding strategy and morphology as indicators of habitat use and coexistence of two loricariid fishes from a Brazilian coastal stream
Authors: Manna Luisa Resende , Miranda Jean Carlos , Rezende Carla Ferreira , Mazzoni Rosana
Published: January 2020

Abstract: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between form and function of two Loricariidae species (Hypostomus punctatus and Parotocinclus maculicauda) from a Neotropical coastal stream. We performed morphological-dietary analysis and discussed their coexistence strategies, as well. We hypothesized that both species use similar food resources according to their morphology but differences in habitat use facilitate their coexistence. In order to test this hypothesis, morphology, diet and habitat use were analyzed for both species. Trophic variance and the Pianka Niche Overlap index were calculated to explore the differences in trophic niche. Correlations between species abundance and water flow were applied to test habitat use. Principal Component Analysis and one Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance were applied to test differences between morphology and diet of both species. Morphological-dietary relationships were tested with Mantel test correlations. Total abundance of H. punctatus was higher in the stream channel with higher water flow. The dominant food items were sediment and organic matter for both species, and high trophic niche overlap was revealed. Additionally, morphology did not explain feeding habits for both species. Morphological characteristics were significantly different, especially for intestine length, relative area of the dorsal fin, ventral flattening and mouth attributes. The study site was rich in sand sediment, mud, and clay that are not considered good substrates to the establishment and growing of periphyton, which is an important trophic resource to Loricariidae species. Here, low consumption of periphyton can provide a possible explanation for the feeding similarity and the weak morphological-dietary relationships for both species. Thus, the environmental conditions can be more important for diet composition when compared to the similar and specialized morphology of loricariids.
“Ídolos tras los altares”: a (re)construção da arte mexicana no período pós-revolucionário
Authors: Muzardo Fabiane Tais
Published: January 2020

Resumo Anita Brenner, Tina Modotti e Edward Weston viajaram pelo interior mexicano, no início dos anos 1920, para produzir um registro escrito e imagético sobre a arte popular e religiosa. Desse projeto resultou o livro “Ídolos tras los altares”, publicado pela primeira vez nos Estados Unidos no ano de 1929. Esse artigo visa analisar essa obra a partir dos diálogos que ocorriam no México sobre os indígenas e a questão cultural, no pós-revolução. Defende-se que tal obra ora se aproxima da teoria indigenista, de Manuel Gamio; ora da mestiçagem, de José Vasconcelos; ora cria algo novo, mais próximo a teorias antropológicas atuais, como a de Serge Gruzinski. Em “Ídolos...”, Brenner mescla crônicas populares, resultados de sua observação, descobertas e suas próprias lembranças, em uma narrativa que, apesar da organização cronológica da obra, tem o período pós-revolucionário como referência.
A cerâmica paulista: cinco séculos de persistência de práticas tupiniquim em São Paulo e Paraná, Brasil
Authors: Noelli Francisco Silva , Sallum Marianne
Published: January 2020

Resumo A Arqueologia do Colonialismo no Brasil tem sido concebida na última década na tentativa de descolonizar o seu campo de pesquisa. Passou a perceber e a construir histórias de persistência, valorizando múltiplas perspectivas e ontologias. Este estudo faz uma comparação entre três conjuntos cerâmicos e interpreta a relação peculiar entre Tupiniquim e portugueses como aliados e parceiros no processo colonial de São Paulo. As mulheres tupiniquim se apropriaram e transformaram o “outro português” e sua tecnologia em uma das materialidades coloniais - a cerâmica paulista. Tal fato não significou perda cultural, mas sim persistência de práticas por cinco séculos.

INFLUENCE OF ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY ON INNOVATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: MIKHAILOV ANDREI , REICHERT FERNANDA M.
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to reveal how quantitative empirical studies approach the direct influence of absorptive capacity (AC) on innovation. The AC research field continues to be subject to the phenomenon of reification, since it is still quite scattered. Originality/value: The article contributes to AC’s theoretical approach by compiling a set of forces with AC’s direct influence on innovation. This evaluation has revealed detailed information about this relationship, such as the AC approach used and situations in which it acts as a moderating force in a relationship. Thus, we suggest a structure of influence of AC on innovation. Design/methodology/approach: Systematic literature review based on Tranfield, Denyer, and Smart’s (2003) method was applied. From an initial sample of 231 articles, 37 empirical studies were selected for analysis. We analyzed the AC’s influence on innovation in each paper, as well as the forces that affect that influence. Findings: The results suggest that AC dynamic approach may become dominant within AC and innovation literature, as the number of studies that use this approach grows constantly. However, the validated measurement models proposed by several AC scholars are still underused by most studies. Many empirical studies tend to adapt existing measurement models according to idiosyncratic research needs. In addition, as expected, we identified that intra-firm factors might be as important as environmental factors in transforming firms’ AC into innovation.
ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY OF INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES IN TRADITIONAL SECTORS IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRAZIL
Authors: PUFFAL CLAIR W. , PUFFAL DANIEL P. , SOUZA YEDA S.
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to assess processes related to absorptive capacity (AC) dimensions in innovation-generating companies of traditional sectors in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Originality/value: Companies may establish differential advantages in the market due to how far they apply acquired knowledge and use organizational mechanisms. These mechanisms include intangible elements essential to the development of AC, a capacity that companies do not often recognize as important to generate innovation. Based on previous studies, we established a summary of AC elements and AC within its different dimensions. Then we created an assessment tool for AC analysis and knowledge generation dynamics in innovative micro-processes in organizations of the traditional sectors. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire with 47 items to assess potential and realized AC and their dimensions. We assessed two companies on their AC. These companies were participants of a project of the Núcleo de Apoio à Gestão da Inovação (Nagirs) of Instituto Euvaldo Lodi (IEL) in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, oriented to enhance innovation in traditional sectors. This study used content analysis and compared the evidence found with findings in the literature. Findings: The results suggested that, in companies of traditional sectors, AC can be considered explicative to innovation generation and the organizational dynamics orchestrating mechanisms for knowledge renewal. Data reveals that knowledge renewal requires managers and qualified workers’ engagement in search and application of external information that responds to the company’s strategic challenges. The study also contributes to establishing an assessment tool for AC in companies of traditional sectors.
A circulação da literatura no mundo on-line: os casos de Clarice Lispector e de Caio Fernando Abreu
Authors: Athayde Manaíra Aires , Rocha Rejane Cristina
Published: January 2020

Resumo Este artigo procura pensar a circulação da literatura a partir das mais recentes tecnologias de inscrição, apresentando o estudo de caso de dois autores que se tornaram fenômenos de popularidade nas redes sociais. Por um lado, sugerimos que as obras literárias de Clarice Lispector e de Caio Fernando Abreu compartilham uma série de particularidades que tornam os seus textos especialmente atraentes para o universo on-line. Por outro, entendemos que é importante também investigar como o meio digital atua sobre essas obras, que vão sendo editadas, publicadas, reproduzidas, compartilhadas, remixadas, gerenciadas (Manovich, 2011, 2017), de modo a se tornarem um dispositivo de mídia num sistema que sobrevive da convergência dos meios, da construção coletiva e da cultura participativa (Jenkins, 2008).
A permanência do Regionalismo na literatura brasileira contemporânea
Authors: Pelinser André Tessaro , Alves Márcio Miranda
Published: January 2020

Resumo Este artigo analisa a permanência de marcas do Regionalismo na prosa da literatura brasileira contemporânea. Considerado ultrapassado pela crítica literária e renegado pelos escritores, o Regionalismo entrou para a história da literatura brasileira como sinônimo de arte de baixa qualidade estética. No entanto, percebe-se que os temas regionais nunca deixaram de ser matéria para a narrativa ficcional brasileira, desde Guimarães Rosa, Erico Verissimo e Josué Guimarães, até Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil, Antônio Torres e Milton Hatoum. Observa-se que a diferença entre o presente e o passado reside na ênfase dada pelos escritores ao contexto e ao espaço regionais, em um primeiro momento ufanistas em relação às particularidades da terra, e na contemporaneidade preocupados com a problematização dos contrastes culturais. Conclui-se que a literatura brasileira contemporânea deve muito à tradição regionalista, sem que isso implique questionamentos de qualidade estética, e que cabe à crítica investigar os temas e as formas da narrativa como chaves de interpretação para problemas históricos que perduram.
Martírio, rito e fetiche em Body Art e A refeição, de Newton Moreno
Authors: Siega Paula Regina
Published: January 2020

Resumo Para Hans Robert Jauss, teórico da estética da recepção, o escritor é antes de tudo um leitor, situado em uma cadeia de recepções. Considerando a experiência da leitura como atividade capaz de gerar uma resposta criativa, Jauss entende a tradição literária como um processo de contínuo intercâmbio entre o velho e o novo, em que o presente relê o passado, atribuindo-lhe novas significações. Deste ponto de vista, abordamos o processo de recepção literária que consolida, no Brasil, uma tradição interpretativa em torno do tema da antropofagia, constantemente recuperado para assumir diferentes significados em diversos presentes históricos. Nesta tradição, colocamos a produção do dramaturgo pernambucano Newton Moreno que, com Body Art e A refeição: ensaios sobre o canibalismo, encena o corpo como suporte expressivo de ritos em que ressoam as práticas tribais da antropofagia. Tentaremos demonstrar, de um lado, os pontos de contato dessa dramaturgia com o passado literário nacional, e, do outro, as rupturas trazidas por uma releitura que integra o tema do canibalismo à ideia de corpo em sacrifício da Body Art e do teatro da crueldade de Artaud.
Limites da assistência oitocentista: o caso urbano de Juiz de Fora (MG)
Authors: Siqueira Rogério , Barreto Maria Renilda
Published: January 2020

Resumo O artigo tem por objetivo discutir os mecanismos de organização da assistência à saúde em Juiz de Fora (MG), na segunda metade do século XIX. Investigaram-se quais arranjos foram organizados para prover cuidado aos doentes e como essa estrutura se ajustou às demandas do cenário sociopolítico e econômico. Percebe-se que, enquanto perdurou o sistema escravista, o protagonismo do Hospital da Caridade juiz-forano foi irrelevante, uma vez que as fazendas de café possuíam instalações capazes de assistir os doentes. A fundação daquele equipamento de saúde cumpriu a função de catapultar o fazendeiro José Antonio da Silva Pinto – barão de Bertioga – no cenário da nobilitação à brasileira e de acomodar as exigências da legislação imperial nos moldes dos arranjos personalistas.
Santa Casa de Misericórdia da vila da Cachoeira: a caridade e a filantropia no contexto da política assistencial do governo imperial
Authors: Cerqueira João Batista
Published: January 2020

Resumo O estudo examina o processo de constituição e operacionalização de uma confraria devocional na vila de Cachoeira, província da Bahia, ao longo do período imperial brasileiro. Merecerá destaque o decreto do imperador dom Pedro I que elevou o então centenário Hospital São João de Deus, equipamento do patrimônio régio administrado por dirigentes designados pela Câmara de Vereadores, à condição de Santa Casa de Misericórdia. Além disso, será analisada a política de concessão de privilégios e consignações orçamentárias do governo da província destinada às misericórdias baianas. Conclui-se que a política das finanças públicas do Estado brasileiro, na Bahia, representou um estímulo relevante para a fundação e para a sustentação econômico-financeira da irmandade cachoeirana.

Članak opisuje nova saznanja o tehničkom aspektu grafika Mencija Clementa Crnčića, kao i nove pristupe u restauriranju grafika chine-collé, čiji se nosilac sastoji od dvaju slojeva papira, različite strukture i gramature, spojenih u procesu tiskanja. Opisani su postupci konzerviranja i restauriranja koloriranog bakropisa chine-collé naziva Pod zidom koji je pretrpio znatna oštećenja uzrokovana kemijskim, mehaničkim i biološkim čimbenicima. Uz poderotine, napuknuća i brojna oštećenja površinskog sloja nosioca i medija, estetskom dojmu i vrijednosti umjetnine uvelike su naštetile diskoloracija te masna i vodena mrlja. S obzirom na to da se radi o laminiranom papirnatom nosiocu, poseban izazov u radu bilo je provođenje mokrih tretmana, u cilju uklanjanja mrlja, diskoloracije i kiselosti iz papira, zbog rizika od delaminacije. Nakon opsežnih kemijsko-fizikalnih istraživanja i provedenih suhih tretmana, pokazalo se nužnim (te uz poseban oprez mogućim) provesti tretmane u vodenim otopinama, koji su uključivali pranje, neutralizaciju i izbjeljivanje papira. Izvedena je metoda bijeljenja na suncu, kao najblaža i najsigurnija metoda bijeljenja papira, čija je prednost i to što se izvodi istovremeno s postupkom neutralizacije, u vodenoj otopini kalcijeva hidroksida. Takav pristup rezultirao je uspješnim uklanjanjem mrlja i diskoloracije, čime je postignuto željeno estetsko i strukturno poboljšanje stanja umjetnine.
Sustavi za osiguranje trajne napetosti slika na platnu
Authors: Radić Slobodan
Published: January 2020

Sredinom 15. stoljeća platno kao nosilac postalo je alternativa drvu. Počele su se izrađivati slike na platnu, a slijedio ih je razvoj podokvira. Polovicom 18. stoljeća uvode se podokviri s kajlama, a nedugo zatim i podokviri s kutnim rastezačima. Obje vrste podokvira stvaraju prekomjernu silu u kutovima, što dovodi do raznovrsnih oštećenja slika. Pedesetih godina 20. stoljeća osmišljen je sustav elastičnog napinjanja, čime su odvojene mehanička potpora i napinjanje slike, koje su do tada bile „povjerene“ isključivo podokviru. Godine 1957. taj se sustav primjenjuje u Restauratorskom zavodu u Zadru, a potkraj osamdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća usvaja se u Hrvatskom restauratorskom zavodu i otada se kontinuirano primjenjuje. Takvim načinom do sada je napeto više od dvadeset slika, uglavnom velikih formata. Način izvedbe podokvira i napinjanja prilagođen je svakoj slici, ovisno o njihovu stanju očuvanosti, dimenzijama, obliku i uvjetima smještaja. Dugogodišnjim praćenjem stanja očuvanosti napetih slika, nisu primijećene deformacije podokvira, nosioca i slojeva boje. Napetost slika je zadovoljavajuća pa se može zaključiti da sustav dobro funkcionira, iako se može razvijati i modernizirati primjenom novih materijala te praćenjem i proučavanjem inozemnih iskustava.
Gotički poliptih iz trogirske crkvice Gospe pokraj Mora i kontekstualizacija njezina rasutog inventara
Authors: Matulić Bilač Žana
Published: January 2020

Poliptih iz predromaničke čiovske crkvice Gospe pokraj Mora, koji se atribuira krugu Dujma Vučkovića, svjedoči o prostornom, povijesnom, umjetničkom i tehnološkom kontekstu svojega nastanka. Izvorno je stajao na glavnom oltaru unutar skošene kvadratne apside crkve. Nakon restauracije 1974. godine, muzealiziran je unutar Zbirke crkvene umjetnosti trogirske katedrale sv. Lovre. U tekstu se reinterpretiraju poznati i donose novi izvori o izvornom izgledu interijera crkvice Gospe pokraj Mora, u nastojanju da se rekonstruira, doduše imaginarno, njezin nekadašnji inventar, danas rasut po čiovskim crkvicama, trogirskoj katedrali i samostanima. Prvotni prostorni kontekst toga inventara i Vučkovićeva poliptiha zauvijek je nestao „obnovom“ crkve 1997. godine, koja nije uvažila nijedan povijesni sloj. U fokusu teksta se u osnovnim crtama analizira povijesnoumjetnička atribucija slike krugu Dujma Vučkovića iz 1974. godine, a u kontekstu novijih spoznaja koje uključuju rezultate tehničkih ispitivanja uz analogije (u različitom opsegu) s istraženim djelima 15. stoljeća u Dalmaciji, koja se s tom slikom u povijesnoumjetničkoj literaturi dovode u vezu. Daje se također i kritički osvrt na prethodne restauratorske postupke te se opisuje model i tijek dovršenih konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radova provedenih u Hrvatskom restauratorskom zavodu od 2011. do 2016. godine, u kojima su istražene tehničke značajke slike, rekonstruiran izvorni oblik i oslik poliptiha koji je bio među najoštećenijim takvim djelima našega kasnosrednjovjekovnog slikarstva.
Renesansna misnica od zlatnog baršuna iz hvarske katedrale
Authors: Budicin Marta , Lucić Vujičić Sandra
Published: January 2020

Misnica od zlatnog baršuna te pripadajuća stola i manipul izlošci su stalnog postava Biskupskog muzeja katedrale sv. Stjepana I. pape i mučenika u Hvaru. Predmeti su datirani u kraj 15. i početak 16. stoljeća, a pretpostavka je da su venecijanske provenijencije. Svrha ovog istraživanja je prezentacija baršuna misnice iz toga vrijednog liturgijskog kompleta, izvedenih cjelovitih konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radova i pokušaj određivanja vremena i mjesta izrade na osnovi stilske i tehničke analize te komparacije srodnih materijala.
Konzervatorska načela u praksi
Authors: Gazde Davor
Published: January 2020

Sakristijski ormar iz Kaštel Lukšića jedan je od najljepših sačuvanih primjera primijenjenog umjetničkog drvorezbarstva profanog karaktera u Dalmaciji. Trodijelni ormar monumentalnih je dimenzija, arhitektonskog tipa, a kvalitetom obrade ističe se bogato rezbareno krunište na kojem se nalaze dva groteskna lica maskerona, kao i listovi akantusa koji se isprepliću s volutnim ukrasima. Izradio ga je nepoznati majstor, najvjerojatnije sredinom 17. stoljeća. Izvorno je bio profanog karaktera, a poslije je korišten kao sakristijski ormar. Ormar je nađen u sakristiji stare župne crkve Blažene Djevice Marije u Kaštel Lukšiću, ali to nije njegovo izvorno mjesto. U tekstu su predstavljeni konzervatorsko-restauratorski radovi obavljeni u svrhu usklađivanja stabilnosti i prezentabilnosti s maksimalnim očuvanjem povijesnih slojeva. S obzirom na zatečeno stanje ormara, kao i na višeslojne povijesne tragove koje smo odlučili sačuvati i prezentirati, to nije bio nimalo jednostavan zadatak. Iznesen je i razvoj idejnog koncepta obnove, a navode se i misli filozofa i teoretičara konzerviranja i restauriranja, koje su nam bile svojevrsna inspiracija u nastojanju da provedemo optimalnu konzervatorsko-restauratorsku valorizaciju.
Upotreba neodimijskih magneta za montažu velikih umjetnina na papiru
Authors: Begić Jarić Majda
Published: January 2020

Cjeloviti konzervatorsko-restauratorski radovi u trajanju od dvije godine na dva stropna medaljona iz 19. stoljeća iz kurije Adamović-Hellenbach-Mikšić u Svetoj Heleni izvedeni su na Odsjeku za papir i kožu Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda. Dva medaljona sastoje se od ukrasnog drvenog okvira i slike izvedene u tehnici gvaš na industrijski rađenom papirnatom nosiocu koji je dodatno zalijepljen na papirnati nosilac te je sve zalijepljeno i pričvršćeno čavlima na donje drvene daske od pripadajućeg ukrasnog drvenog okvira. Izvođenje svih restauratorskih faza bio je veliki izazov, no rješavanje problema načina montaže crteža od gvaša na papirnatom nosiocu u postojeće drvene okvire nakon restauracije, a pri tome izbjegavanje kontakta dvaju različitih materijala, dovelo je do upotrebe neodimijskih magneta. Osmišljen je prilagodljiv, jednostavan, brz, reverzibilan i lako manipulativan prototip montiranja slike u gvašu na papirnatom nosiocu u drveni ukrasni okvir. Taj se prototip pratio nekoliko mjeseci i nije pokazao nikakve promjene, pa je na osnovi toga odlučeno da se na isti način primijeni jednako montiranje originalnih gvaševa na papiru. Takav financijski pristupačan i prihvatljiv način montiranja, kao i upotreba neodimijskih magneta, prvi put je izveden u Hrvatskom restauratorskom zavodu na Odsjeku za papir i kožu.
El 'K-Beauty': ¿Una oportunidad para el aprovechamiento del Tratado de Libre Comercio entre Colombia y Corea del Sur?
Authors: Calle Saldarriaga María Alejandra , Jiménez Ospina María Alejandra , Vanegas Pérez Ángela María
Published: January 2020

El denominado “K-Beauty” (Korean Beauty o Belleza Coreana) es una representación explícita del sector cosmético de Corea del Sur y un fenómeno que comienza a influenciar a la cosmética global. De igual forma, esta manifestación influye sobre tendencias y hábitos de consumo en materia del cuidado de la piel. En este artículo se realiza un análisis de las particularidades del sector cosmético surcoreano con el objetivo de realizar una contribución académica al estudio de una de las industrias más dinámicas e innovadoras del mundo. Dicha caracterización es de particular importancia toda vez que en el marco del Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) entre Colombia y Corea del Sur se han identificado oportunidades para que empresas colombianas puedan insertarse en la cadena de valor de la industria cosmética coreana a través de la exportación de ingredientes naturales o componentes activos derivados de la biodiversidad colombiana. Este artículo es resultado de la revisión documental y el desarrollo de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas en Corea del Sur durante 2017 y 2018, con el apoyo de consumidores, académicos de la Universidad de Kyung Hee (Seúl) y representantes de la industria cosmética coreana.
Ciudades intermedias: un comparativo México-China
Authors: Castillo Omar Neme , Valderrama Santibáñez Ana Lilia , Briseño Perezyera José Israel
Published: January 2020

Desde sus reformas económicas, México y China han registrado rápidas expansiones urbanas que modificaron la distribución de sus sistemas urbanísticos, llevando a un mayor peso relativo de las ciudades intermedias. El documento tiene como objetivo examinar la dispersión del tamaño de ciudades para ambas economías en 2005 y 2010, respectivamente. Se emplea la ecuación de rango-tamaño, original y ajustada, y se sigue una metodología econométrica de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios de rangos móviles para estimar el coeficiente de Pareto. El tamaño se define en función del PIB de cada ciudad de al menos 15.000 habitantes, esto representa un aspecto original del documento, pues considera esa dimensión de la urbe desde una perspectiva diferente al de la población. La hipótesis es un exponente Pareto inferior a la unidad. Las estimaciones por submuestras sugieren la existencia de una distribución del tamaño de las ciudades relativamente equitativa en ambas naciones. Como las principales ciudades intermedias se agrupan en sistemas urbanos comparativamente equitativos, se acepta que la desviación del exponente se explica por el mayor peso económico relativo de las ciudades intermedias. La principal limitación es la disponibilidad de datos que significa una disparidad de años entre las economías.
Japan’s foreign policy: from imperial power to regional leader?
Authors: Gómez Alférez Juan Sebastián
Published: January 2020

The present essay seeks to explore Japanese foreign policy and its trans- formations throughout time. Particular emphasis is placed on two historical moments: the emergence of Japan as an imperial power, beginning with the Meiji Restoration, and contemporary Japan. The choice of these two instances is an attempt to define an arc of development in Japanese history, in order to understand Japan’s role in Asia and how it has both determined and been determined by international dynamics. By presenting information in chrono- logical order, the essay tries to establish a connection between past and pres- ent, and asks whether a “Japanese style of influence” can be deduced from both periods. The essay finds that Japan’s place in the region has changed from a more assertive and leading one, albeit more violent, to one character- ized by the indirect balancing of power. While dealing with radically different contexts, the essay finds that Japan’s influence strategies, whether historical or contemporary, have had similar intended effects in terms of the develop- ment of other countries. In this sense, by showing a broad and brief picture of Japan’s past and present that is traversed by a single theme, the essay con- tributes to the understanding of Japan’s current position, its historical roots, and the common factors that might continue in the future.
