“Cowboy” and “Cowgirl” Programming: The Effects of Precollege Programming Experiences on Success in College Computer Science
Authors: Chen Chen , Jeckel Stuart , Sonnert Gerhard , Sadler Philip M
Published: February 2019

This study examines the relationship between students' pre-college experience with computers and their later success in introductory computer science classes in college. Data were drawn from a nationally representative sample of 10,197 students enrolled in computer science at 118 colleges and universities in the United States. We found that students taking introductory college computer science classes who had programmed on their own prior to college had a more positive attitude toward computer science, lower odds of dropping out, and earned higher grades, compared with students who had learned to program in a pre-college class, but had never programmed on own, or those who had never learned programming before college. Moreover, nearly half of the effect on final grades was mediated by a positive attitude toward computing.
Numerical and experimental investigation for the effect of permeability of spur dikes on local scour
Authors: Ezzeldin Riham Mohsen
Published: February 2019

The effect of using permeable spur dikes on the produced maximum scour depth compared to that of solid spur dikes is numerically investigated. The numerical model used for such purpose is the Nays-2DH model of the International River Interface Cooperative (iRIC) software package for bed and bank erosion. The model results are verified using the experimental data collected in this study by conducting experiments on five different models of spur dikes having different opening ratios. Using the statistical performance indices, the root mean square error and the coefficient of determination, the results showed an acceptable agreement between the numerical model results for the relative maximum scour depth defined by the ratio of the maximum scour depth to the flow depth and their corresponding observed values. A new empirical equation using nonlinear regression is developed using the experimental data collected in this study and tested with another existing empirical equation available in the literature for their accuracy in determining the relative maximum scour depth.
Use of chemically activated termite feces a low-cost adsorbent for the adsorption of norfloxacin from aqueous solution
Authors: Chahm Tamiris , de Souza Larissa Fátima , dos Santos Nathalia Ramos , da Silva Bruna Aparecida , Rodrigues Clovis Antonio
Published: February 2019

Antibiotics, as emerging contaminants, are of global concern due to the development of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. Current wastewater treatment technology cannot efficiently remove sewage antibiotics and therefore new low-cost technologies are needed. Adsorption is a widely used process for removal of substances, and the search for efficient, low-cost adsorbents is ongoing. In this work, termite feces treated with H2SO4 (FT/H2SO4) were used as a low-cost adsorbent for removal of norfloxacin (NOR) present in aqueous medium. Termite feces were treated with H2SO4 at a ratio of 1:1 for 24 h, at 100 °C. The parameters contact time, initial NOR concentration, medium pH and temperature were evaluated. The optimum adsorption pH was 8.0. The pseudo-second-order model was found to best represent the kinetics of NOR adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity, calculated from the Sips isotherm model, was 104.4 mg/g at 55 °C. The positive values of ΔH0 (change in enthalpy) confirm the endothermic nature of the adsorption. The results show that FT/H2SO4 is an efficient adsorbent for removal of NOR present in aqueous medium. The adsorption capacity is higher than those reported in the literature for other low-cost adsorbents.

Authors: Da Nobrega Lays Candido de Barros Andrade , Pessoa Ana Claudia Rodrigues Gonçalves , Melo Jessica Albuquerque de
Published: February 2019

O objetivo desse estudo é o de identificar o modo que os professores do 2º ciclo do Ensino Fundamental compreendem e constroem metas para o ensino da ortografia, enfocando, especificamente, o trabalho com as relações letra-som da Norma Ortográfica da Língua Portuguesa. Tomamos como referência a classificação da ortografia elaborada por Morais (1998).  Segundo esse autor a Norma Ortográfica apresenta regularidades (diretas, contextuais e morfológicas) e irregularidades em sua relação letra-som. Participaram dessa pesquisa 20 professores do 2º Ciclo de dois municípios da região metropolitana do Recife, sendo 10 professores de cada município (5 professores do 4º ano e 5 professores do 5º ano, de cada município). A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas.  Os resultados apontaram que os professores, em sua maioria, não apresentavam metas claras para o trabalho com a ortografia o que refletia na falta de um planejamento adequado para cada ano de ensino.
Maquiavel pensador da ação política: uma análise a partir de O Príncipe
Authors: Ames José Luiz
Published: February 2019

Maquiavel propõe-se a analisar as condições de possibilidade da ação política. Em relação a isso sua tese é: nada predetermina a priori a ação e, por isso, o resultado depende unicamente da capacidade do ator. No entanto, ainda que o homem seja responsável por seu destino, Maquiavel reconhece a intervenção de forças que fogem ao seu controle: a fortuna e a corrupção. A reflexão sobre estes elementos evidencia que a ação política, embora sofra limitações de fatores que escapam ao controle humano, não é impossível, o que remete à idéia de virtù entendida como o complexo de aptidões que permite aos homens destacar-se e impor às coisas o rumo por eles decidido. É, assim, a principal qualidade requerida para o êxito na ação política. Como Maquiavel a compreende? Ela está orientada, antes de tudo, para o estabelecimento de um vivere politico, sua manutenção, reforma ou transformação e salvaguarda.
Os Sofrimentos da Alma: As Paixões sob a Perspectiva do Estoicismo
Authors: Da Luz Diogo
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo exploramos a concepção estoica de πάθος, suas causas e consequências. Inicialmente abordamos o modo como as paixões se encaixam na ética estoica, uma vez que elas se mostram como impedimentos para aquele que quer viver melhor. Logo depois, analisamos os debates realizados no seio da escola, os acréscimos e os aperfeiçoamentos teóricos. Por fim, mostramos a distinção entre πάθη, προπάθειαι e εὐπαθεῖαι, pois isso propicia uma melhor compreensão da dimensão emocional da psicologia da Stoa, servindo principalmente para evitar interpretações precipitadas que podem ocorrer ao se ler um texto estoico.
Jacques Rancière e a revolução sensível: uma (outra) leitura política de Madame Bovary
Authors: Blanco Daniela Cunha
Published: February 2019

O intuito desse texto é pensar como a análise empreendida por Jacques Rancière em torno do livro Madame Bovary, de Gustave Flaubert, daria a ver um entrelaçamento entre estética e política latente tanto na história de Emma Bovary quanto nas críticas a ela dedicadas. Passando especialmente pelas interpretações de Charles Baudelaire e de Jean-Paul Sartre pretende-se apresentar a ideia de que o modo como ambos pensam os gestos e atitudes da personagem é, antes de tudo, político. Se Sartre aproxima o tema de Emma a uma discussão política pela via da práxis e do imaginário, Rancière apresenta uma leitura do romance que não apenas coloca-o em outra chave de visibilidade como também, a partir desse novo olhar, reinterpreta o próprio campo estético em suas relações com a política. Trata-se de pensar o poder de afetar e transformar vidas que a materialidade do sensível do texto daria a ver; de pensar aquilo que compreende como uma revolução sensível. Desse modo, a aproximação da personagem Emma ao pensamento político da emancipação se dará pela via da partilha do sensível que tanto a personagem quanto os proletários das revoluções francesas do século XIX teriam empreendido ao exceder a ligação entre um modo de aparecer e um modo de ser.
Current and Future Pharmacologic Therapies for Diabetic Retinopathy
Authors: Villegas Victor M. , Schwartz Stephen G.
Published: February 2019

Background:

Currently, diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of permanent visual loss in workingage adults in industrialized nations. The chronic microangiopathic changes associated with diabetic retinopathy lead to the most common causes of severe permanent visual loss: diabetic macular edema (DME) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Multiple studies have evaluated different pharmacotherapies for different levels of retinopathy.

Methods:

A review of the pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy and current and emerging pharmacotherapies for diabetic retinopathy.

Results:

Historically, DME has been the primary focus of treatment in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Due to the rapidly increasing number of agents and treatment options, management algorithms for DME have become increasingly complex. Furthermore, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) has allowed unparalleled sensitivity and specificity for detecting macular edema. All available intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of patients with DME and PDR. Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide has also proven beneficial in diabetic retinopathy. Most recently, various corticosteroids have been designed as sustained-release intraocular implants in order to reduce the burden and risks associated with retreatment. Current research is focused on providing new agents that target alternate pathways and signaling molecules to provide patients with additional therapeutic tools, especially in patients who have an incomplete response to the current medications.

Conclusion:

Anti-VEGF therapy has revolutionized the medical management of diabetic retinopathy. The most important existing challenges in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy are improving visual outcomes and decreasing the treatment burden associated with repeated intravitreal injections. Combination therapy with anti-VEGF and corticosteroids with other previously available treatments, such as panretinal photocoagulation, may be a reasonable clinical strategy to reduce the intravitreal injections burden. Many exciting novel drugs that target newly discovered pathways hold clinical promise. The results of ongoing randomized clinical trials will answer the important concerns surrounding new drugs and delivery devices: safety and visual outcomes.

Development of a Comprehensive Matlab/Simulink Based Model for High-Efficiency 2nd Generation Photovoltaic (PV) Modules
Authors: Shaikh Muhammad Naveed , Zafar Qayyum , Papadakis Antonis
Published: February 2019

Background:

The accurate energy yield prediction of a PV system under various environmental conditions is important for designing a high-performance PV system.

Objective:

The robust and cost-effective digital simulation studies on PV systems have the advantage in comparison to studies based on measurements because they provide the opportunity for sensitivity analysis on various design parameters of the PV system.

Methods:

Herein, we present the development and implementation of a generalized photovoltaic computational model using Matlab/Simulink software package. The model is based on the equivalent diode circuit approach. It is designed to simulate two ubiquitous and high performing 2nd generation photovoltaic (PV) modules constructed with Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Copper Indium Gallium di-Selenide (CIGS) photoactive thin films, respectively. The values of key input parameters to the simulator, i.e., parallel resistor (Rp) and series resistor (Rs) have been computed by an efficient Newton-Raphson iteration method.

Results:

The output current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristic curves of the aforementioned PV modules have been simulated by taking two input variables (ambient irradiance and temperature) into consideration. The electrical performance of both PV modules under various environmental conditions have been mathematically investigated by the solution of classical non-linear equations.

Conclusion:

The developed PV model has been validated with the experimental results obtained from standard PV module datasheets provided by manufacturers. The relative error between the simulated and experimental values of various photovoltaic parameters for CdTe and CIGS PV modules at Standard Test Conditions (STC) has been observed to be below 3%.

Authors: Zgolli F. , Aouinti I. , Charfi O. , Badri T. , Elaidli S. , Kastalli S. , Lakhoua G. , Zaïem A.
Published: February 2019

Introduction:

Imatinib is the treatment of choice in patients with locally advanced or metastatic
gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). Clinical tolerance of imatinib is excellent except for the
common adverse drug reaction (ADR). Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS
syndrome) is a severe, potentially life-threatening drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction, characterized
by cutaneous eruptions, fever, diffuse lymphadenopathy, along with eosinophilia, and elevated
liver function tests. This ADR is rarely reported with imatinib. Only four cases of DRESS syndrome
associated with imatinib have already been published.

Case Report:

We report an exceptional case of DRESS syndrome associated with imatinib in a 46
year-old woman with GIST. Two weeks after she had started imatinib therapy, she developed a skin
rash, with eosinophilia and elevated liver tests. Plasma level of imatinib was within the therapeutic
range. Imatinib was immediately discontinued. A favourable outcome was slowly observed after the
drug had been stopped.

Results and Conclusion:

This case was scored three according to the European Registry of Severe Cutaneous
Adverse Reactions Study Group (RegiSCAR). The Naranjo score for imatinib was five (probable).
Off-pump Techniques of Surgical Myocardial Revascularization
Authors: Dato Guglielmo Actis , Picichè Marco
Published: February 2019

Background:

Before the advent of CABG, standardized in the late '60s by Favaloro and Effler, patients with myocardial ischemia underwent indirect and heterogeneous off-pump methods of myocardial revascularization.

Methods & Results:

Indirect revascularization, such as periaortic nerve plexus interruption, Vineberg operation, Sen procedure and, less remotely, TMR Laser and stem cell transplantation, represented some of the ways to achieve myocardial revascularization. Nowadays, direct coronary revascularization is the only established technique and may be performed either on-pump or off-pump.

Conclusion:

The comparison of off-pump and on-pump myocardial revascularization paved the way to an endless debate between the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. In this article, we review the old and current off-pump approaches of surgical myocardial revascularization.

Authors: Truzoli Roberto , Rovetta Cecilia , Nola Eliana , Matteucci Luca , Viganò Caterina
Published: February 2019

Background:

Cognitive behavioral group therapy has developed several techniques in order to make the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders more effective. Particularly, the “homework” is a tool in order to practice therapeutic skills in ecological settings. When working with this aim, it is often necessary to support patient compliance.

Researches have shown the efficacy of sending a text to the patients in order to support the patient compliance, but only a few data are available on the effectiveness of sending text in the treatment of depression and anxiety.

Objective:

Verify the effectiveness of sending text in the treatment of depression and anxiety in order to support patient compliance.

Methods:

Participants were enrolled for cognitive behavioral group therapy. Once completed the treatment, a sub-group of participants (Yes SMS group) was reached by a weekly text message for the whole 3 months time between the end of the intervention and the scheduled follow-up session.

All the participants were assessed for the overall psychopathological symptoms, depression, and anxiety before and after the group intervention, and at the 3 months follow up.

Results:

Both groups improved from pre to post-treatment in all the assessed dimensions; the enhancement endures up to the 3 months follow up.

Comparing the two groups regardless of the diagnosis, the Yes SMS group shows significant better outcomes in depression at follow-up and in anxiety both at post-treatment and at follow-up.

Conclusion:

The weekly SMS as prompt seems to enhance the patient’s compliance.
Biological Membranes and Malaria-Parasites
Authors: Moumaris Mohamed , Bretagne Jean-Michel , Abuaf Nisen
Published: February 2019

Paludisme "a word derived from Latin palus meaning swamp" or Malaria " a word derived from Italian mala'ria meaning bad air", designed by the bad air from swamps, is an infectious disease caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium transmitted by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles generating millions of deaths each year. Biological membranes have a major role in cells invasion by Malaria parasites. Phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol are essential for the invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium. Plasmodium binds to the erythrocyte membrane via glycolipids. Cholesterol is responsible for the uptake of host proteins and maintenance of intracellular parasitophorous vacuolar membrane. Malaria parasites invade red blood cells by binding to multiple membrane receptors at the level of the spectrin, band 3, actin, glycophorin, band 4.1, band 4.2, aquaporin-1, band 7, and ankyrin. Parasitic proteins such as the reticulocyte-binding like family bind to the membrane erythrocytic proteins and play a major role in the mechanisms of invasion of red blood cells by Plasmodium. Susceptibility to Plasmodium invasion is linked to the terminal stages of the differentiation of red blood cells. This review highlights the complex interactions between biological membranes and malaria parasites.

Authors: Beishon Lucy , Minhas Jatinder S. , Patrick Kate , Shanmugam Iswariya , Williams Claire A.L. , Panerai Ronney B. , Robinson Thompson G. , Haunton Victoria J.
Published: February 2019

Background:

Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography (TCD) can be utilised to measure
the tight coupling of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) in response to cognitive demand by task
activation, termed neurovascular coupling.

Aims:

To investigate the differences in neurovascular coupling between healthy older (>50 years)
and younger (18-49 years) adults in response to cognitive testing.

Methods:

Fifty-four older (n=25) and younger (n=29) adults underwent continuous bilateral TCD,
beat-to-beat blood pressure (MAP; Finapres), heart rate (HR; electrocardiogram), and end-tidal CO2
(ETCO2; capnography) monitoring. After a 5-min baseline period, memory (M1-4: recalling three
learned words, learning a name and address, recalling US presidents and UK prime ministers, and
recalling the previously learned name and address) and visuospatial (V1-4: drawing a cube and infinity
diagram, drawing a clock face, counting dots, and recognising obscured letters) tasks from
the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-III) were performed. Data are mean (standard deviation).

Results:

In the memory paradigms, the peak percentage change in CBFv differed significantly between
younger and older groups only in the dominant hemisphere during the M1 task, (2.17
(9.16)% vs. 8.38 (9.27)%, respectively, p=0.017). In the visuospatial paradigm, there were also significant
differences in peak percentage change in CBFv between younger and older groups in the
V1 (5.87 (8.32)% vs. 11.89 (6.60)%, p=0.005) and V2 tasks (6.30 (8.72)% vs. 11.30 (7.77)%,
p=0.032).

Conclusion:

Healthy older adults demonstrate augmented cerebrovascular physiology in response
to cognitive challenge compared to younger adults. The impact of abnormal ageing on cerebrovascular
physiology, for example, related to cognitively impaired states, requires further investigation.

Exploitation of Outgoing and Incoming Telephone Calls in the Context of Circadian Rhythms of Social Activity Among Elderly People: Observational Descriptive Study (Preprint)
Authors: Aubourg Timothée , Demongeot Jacques , Provost Hervé , Vuillerme Nicolas
Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND

In the elderly population, analysis of the circadian rhythms of social activity may help in supervising homebound disabled and chronically ill populations. Circadian rhythms are monitored over time to determine, for example, the stability of the organization of daily social activity rhythms and the occurrence of particular desynchronizations in the way older adults act and react socially during the day. Recently, analysis of telephone call detail records has led to the possibility of determining circadian rhythms of social activity in an objective unobtrusive way for young patients from their outgoing telephone calls. At this stage, however, the analysis of incoming call rhythms and the comparison of their organization with respect to outgoing calls remains to be performed in underinvestigated populations (in particular, older populations).

OBJECTIVE

This study investigated the persistence and synchronization of circadian rhythms in telephone communication by older adults.

METHODS

The study used a longitudinal 12-month data set combining call detail records and questionnaire data from 26 volunteers aged 70 years or more to determine the existence of persistent and synchronized circadian rhythms in their telephone communications. The study worked with the following four specific telecommunication parameters: (1) recipient of the telephone call (alter), (2) time at which the call began, (3) duration of the call, and (4) direction of the call. We focused on the following two issues: (1) the existence of persistent circadian rhythms of outgoing and incoming telephone calls in the older population and (2) synchronization with circadian rhythms in the way the older population places and responds to telephone calls.

RESULTS

The results showed that older adults have their own specific circadian rhythms for placing telephone calls and receiving telephone calls. These rhythms are partly structured by the way in which older adults allocate their communication time over the day. In addition, despite minor differences between circadian rhythms for outgoing and incoming calls, our analysis suggests the two rhythms could be synchronized.

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest the existence of potential persistent and synchronized circadian rhythms in the outgoing and incoming telephone activities of older adults.

In response to the question of the truth of religious traditions, wecan use some of the principal approaches, namely: exclusivism, inklusivism, andpluralism. The exclusivism’s view is very extreme, because it claims that the truth isjust on their own. While pluralism is a moderate form of relativism in which says thatall religions are true. It is very important to grow inclusivism in religion in this casefor its followers.

An experimental study on the mix design optimization of fly ash-based geopolymers
Authors: Arioz Evren , Arioz Omer , Kockar Mete
Published: February 2019

Geopolymers are materials suitable for utilization in the construction industry due to their superior properties, such as high strength and good durability. The properties of geopolymers can be configured due to mix design and synthesis conditions. In this study, the mix designs providing the highest compressive strength were investigated. For this purpose the sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate ratios and alkali activator/fly ash ratios were differentiated in the geopolymer synthesis. Fly ash was used as raw material. Geopolymer samples were cured at 80?C for 16 h and aged for 7 and 28 days in laboratory. The highest compressive strength was obtained as 27.36 MPa with alkali activator/fly ash ratio of 0.4 and sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate ratio of 1.0. The degree of reaction values were determined for all the geopolymer samples. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for determining the chemical bonds in the structure. The spectrum of the samples revealed that more aluminosilicate gel formed for the sample providing the highest compressive strength.

Background:

Bronchopulmonary sequestration, simply called as pulmonary sequestration, is a relatively rare congenital anomaly with few reports of initial diagnosis occurring during adulthood. It consists of a nonfunctioning mass of lung tissue that lacks normal communication with the tracheobronchial tree and that receives its arterial blood supply from the systemic circulation.

Case Presentation:

We report two cases with bronchopulmonary sequestration and a short review of the clinical/radiologic features of bronchopulmonary sequestration.

Conclusion:

Look carefully at the retrocardiac area of chest radiography in adults for the definition of unexpected lesions. It can be bronchopulmonary sequestrations. It can be diagnosed easily with a feeding artery by an aberrant systemic artery which usually arises from the aorta.

A filosofia realista e naturalista de John Dewey: Mediações naturais, causais, cognitivas e culturais
Authors: Nascimento Edna Maria Magalhães do
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo analisa a epistemologia realista e naturalista de John Dewey, discutindo sua contribuição para a epistemologia contemporânea. O ponto de partida da investigação consiste em articular os conceitos experiência e natureza da epistemologia de John Dewey às teorias de base naturalistas. Ao final pretendemos revelar que o realismo de Dewey por se caracterizar como naturalista traz contribuições importantes para a epistemologia atual quando se coloca numa vertente contrária ao objetivismo, mas sem prescindir da ciência. Ao se opor a epistemologia clássica Dewey não pretende apartar-se totalmente dessa área da filosofia, mas postular um novo modelo teórico em que o conhecimento possa ser compreendido como mediado por relações naturais, causais, cognitivas e culturais. Revelaremos que esta perspectiva antecipa-se às vertentes contemporâneas do conhecimento cuja explicação passa pela noção de complexidade e holismo.
H. H. Price, Paradigmas e o problema dos universais
Authors: Alencar Valdetonio Pereira de
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo, realiza-se uma análise do Nominalismo de Semelhança tal como formulado por Price. Inicialmente, apresento a posição de Price e suas críticas ao Realismo a respeito dos universais. Segundo ele, o Realismo não fornece uma correta explanação da semelhança inexata entre diferentes particulares. A fim de estabelecer a sua posição nominalista, ele se dedica a refutar duas objeções clássicas: o argumento do aspecto e o argumento do regresso. Posteriormente, analiso as principais críticas contra o Nominalismo de Price: o caráter primitivo da relação de semelhança, o problema do estabelecimento de paradigmas e o problema do regresso. A teoria de Price não é capaz de responder a essas objeções adequadamente.
Ética de coerência dialética e um renovado conceito de liberdade humana
Authors: Ruggeri Sabrina
Published: February 2019

Este trabalho empreende a tarefa de uma recuperação crítica e comparativa dos dois principais projetos brasileiros de reatualização do pensamento dialético: o sistema do dever-ser de Carlos Cirne-Lima e a dialética do Uno e do Múltiplo de Eduardo Luft. Inicialmente, trata-se de iluminar os pressupostos lógico-ontológicos atuantes em cada um destes projetos, fazendo ver suas principais divergências quanto à radicalidade de um distanciamento do sistema hegeliano: o que um vê como possibilidade de correção (a partir de uma reinterpretação da dialética modal hegeliana que pretende corrigir o tratamento ambíguo conferido à categoria de contingência, numa proposta que segue de perto a filosofia aristotélica ao transformar o princípio de não-contradição em operador deôntico), o outro reconhece como a necessidade de uma ruptura (por conta da exigência do sistema hegeliano de uma plenificação do Conceito que não encontra harmonia com o dinamismo infinito da dialética, num projeto que se orienta especialmente a partir de um diálogo com o Platão tardio e que segue nessa via um movimento deflacionário). Esta reconstrução crítica nos permitirá extrair as devidas consequências para o campo da ética: a ética de coerência dialética é uma ética objetiva e geral que encontra seu fundamento na pressuposição de identidade entre ser e pensar, e que assim permite a dissolução do problema da falácia naturalista quanto à fundamentação teórica do dever-ser. A partir daí, as diferentes interpretações do Princípio da Coerência devem nos guiar à consciência da emergência de um conceito original de liberdade humana, ao passo da qual devemos, por fim, explorar as potencialidades desse conceito para uma renovada abordagem crítica tanto em relação ao âmbito da sociabilidade humana, como ao âmbito do próprio pensamento.
Morte e vida do lugar: experiência política da paisagem
Authors: Marandola Jr. Eduardo
Published: February 2019

Partindo de uma compreensão ontológico-existencial de lugar, a qual estabelece a correspondência pessoas-lugar, lugar-pessoas, em seu sentido heideggeriano, o artigo dialoga com a filosofia de Giorgio Agamben que compreende a política como abertura e potência na vida nua. Este diálogo alimenta a reflexão sobre o sentido de vida e morte dos lugares e da experiência política da paisagem, tendo como referência o possível topocídio de Bento Rodrigues e as recriações de suas formas-de-vida.
Neutralidade e processo democrático em Rawls e Habermas
Authors: Lessa Jaderson Borges , Weber Thadeu
Published: February 2019

O artigo aborda a discussão entre John Rawls e Jürgen Habermas no que diz respeito ao processo democrático e à neutralidade. Indica que a formação do processo democrático acontece de maneira distinta em uma perspectiva liberal e republicana e que ambos os autores assimilam essa questão de forma diferente. No que se refere à neutralidade, embora tanto Rawls quanto Habermas defendam uma prioridade do justo sobre o bem, o intuito é mostrar que as implicações derivadas de suas perspectivas também são distintas. Trata-se de uma das críticas fundamentais de Habermas a Rawls e um dos principais pontos de desacordo entre as duas perspectivas sobre o liberalismo político.
Por uma “Ontologia Poética”: A interface “Arte” e “Poesia” (Dichtung) em Martin Heidegger
Authors: Meira Danjone Regina
Published: February 2019

Esta pesquisa investiga a questão da arte segundo a ontologia de Heidegger. A compreensão da arte é apresentada em sua relação fundamental com o primado da “questão do Ser”. Se enfatiza que a compreensão da essência da arte se realiza a partir de um caminho “hermenêutico-fenomenológico” presente no pensamento de Heidegger. Há uma descrição fenomenológica da arte na filosofia de Heidegger, mesmo após a “viragem” (Kehre). Com isso, para se compreender a arte é necessário “voltar às coisas mesmas” e contemplar o “enigma da arte” em sua essência. A partir dos fundamentos da relação entre arte e “Poesia” (Dichtung), questionamos como esta relação contribui para a definição ontológica da arte. Nesse momento, ressaltaremos que o filósofo alemão compreende a “Poesia” (Dichtung) sob a perspectiva do “poeta dos poetas”: Hölderlin. Dando, então, um novo início para a compreensão do “enigma da arte”, quando afirma que a “arte é ‘Poesia’ (Dichtung)”. Nesse sentido, defendemos que a ontologia de Heidegger, após a viragem (Kehre) é, de modo inaugural, uma “ontologia poética”. E, é somente mediante uma perspectiva ontológica da “Poesia” (Dichtung) que se pode ver, de modo originário, o acontecimento da verdade na arte e a sua realização na obra de arte. Mostraremos, por fim, a relevância daquilo que denominamos “ontologia poética” em Heidegger na compreensão da arte sob uma nova perspectiva.
