Interventional Bronchoscopy in the Management of Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Authors: Bilaçeroğlu Semra
Published: February 2019

Background:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow
limitation, hyperinflation and reduced gas exchange that lead to progressive dyspnea. Pulmonary
rehabilitation, lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, long-term oxygen therapy, noninvasive
ventilation and surgical therapeutic approaches are the basic management strategies.

Purpose:

In the last 15 years, various bronchoscopic therapeutic modalities have emerged for severe
COPD. The aim of this review is to summarize the effects of these bronchoscopic treatments
compared with lung rehabilitation and pharmacological therapies.

Methods:

A PubMed search for the eligible studies and reviews on interventional bronchoscopy and
COPD has been conducted.

Results:

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (LVR) techniques are targeted to reduce
hyperinflation. The efficacy of reversible valve implantation has been confirmed in several
randomized controlled trials. It provides clinical benefit in the absence of interlobar collateral
ventilation. Nonblocking bronchoscopic LVR with coils, thermal vapor or sealants is independent of
collateral ventilation but has not been studied sufficiently. Partially irreversible coil implantation
leads to parenchymal compression while irreversible LVR with thermal vapor or sealants induce an
inflammatory reaction. Targeted lung denervation ablates parasympathetic pulmonary nerves in
COPD for sustainable bronchodilation, and liquid nitrogen metered cryospray destroys hyperplastic
goblet cells and excessive submucous glands in the central airways to induce mucosal regeneration in
chronic bronchitis.

Conclusion:

The best-examined bronchoscopic LVR method is the valve therapy. The data from the
other modalities are still limited. Further studies are required to select the patients that will optimally
benefit from a particular treatment and to predict and treat the procedure-related complications.
Equibiotic-GI Consumption Improves Intestinal Microbiota in Subjects with Functional Dyspepsia
Authors: Palacios-González Berenice , Meraz-Cruz Noemí , Valdez-Palomares Fernanda , Nambo-Venegas Rafael
Published: February 2019

Background:

At present, the interpretation of any dysfunction by pathogenic microbial colonization of the digestive tract can be considered as the rupture of the microbiotic balance in the injured or infected area. Phytodrugs with useful properties to balance the intestinal microbiota equibiotics represent an alternative recently proposed by the Medicinal Plant Research Company Phytomedicamenta S.A. The Equibiotic-GI® is a phytodrug developed as a combination of two plant extracts, obtained from the leaves of Psidium guajava L, (Myrtaceae) and the roots of Coptis chinensis Franch. (Racunculaceae). Both plants used traditionally for the treatment of several gastrointestinal disorders.

Objective:

The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of Equibiotic-GI® suspension on intestinal microbiota of subjects with functional dyspepsia.

Methods:

An open-label study performed in 8 adult subjects with functional dyspepsia receiving orally 20 mL of the suspension, daily for two weeks. Fecal samples were collected at baseline and the end of treatment for assessing gut microbiota composition by sequencing the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene.

Results:

Equibiotic-GI modified the Bacteriodetes/Firmicutes proportion increasing the richness of the microbiota composition and Rikenellaceae and Alistipes abundance.

Conclusion:

Together with the improvement in the gastrointestinal symptomatology after the consumption of the product, the present study is the first clinical demonstration of the capacity of the Equibiotic-GI® to restore and balance the intestinal microbiota.
Predictive Value of Osteoprotegerin for Detecting Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Correlation with Extent of Calcification Detected by Multidetector Computed Tomography
Authors: Ahmed Sahar , Sobh Rasha
Published: February 2019

Background:

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a tumor necrosis factor receptor super-family member. It specifically acts on bone by increasing bone mineral density and bone volume. Recent studies have evidenced its close relation to the development of atherosclerosis and plaque destabilization. Elevated OPG level has also been associated with the degree of coronary calcification in the general population and it has been considered to be a marker of coronary atherosclerosis.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to determine the relation between OPG levels and Coronary Artery Calcification score (CACs) in Type 2 diabetic patients in comparison to healthy controls.

Methods:

Our study included 45 type 2 diabetic patients (mean age 51.7 years; 51.1% male) without evidence of previous CVD and 45 healthy age and sex matched subjects as control. All participants were subjected to full history, full examination and lab investigations. Serum OPG concentration was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and CAC imaging was performed using non contrast Multi detector CT of the heart.

Results:

Significant CAC (<10 Agatston units) was seen in 23 patients (51.11 %).

:

OPG was significantly high in diabetic patients in comparison to controls with mean 12.9±5.7 pmol/l in cases, and 8.6±0.5 pmol/l in controls (P value < 0.001).

:

The Coronary Artery Calcification Score (CACS) was positively correlated with age and duration of diabetes. The OPG was positively correlated with age, fasting blood sugar and duration of diabetes. The CACS showed a significantly positive correlation with OPG.

Conclusion:

Findings suggested that increasing in serum OPG was consistent with CAC and could be used for the early diagnosis of subclinical atherosclerosis.
Contact Allergy in Children with Atopic Dermatitis: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Romita Paolo , Foti Caterina , Stingeni Luca , Hansel Katharina , Magrone Thea , Belsito Donald V. , Bonamonte Domenico
Published: February 2019

Background:

The relationship between atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis is
frequently debated, particularly in children. The impaired skin barrier of atopic subjects can facilitate
the penetration of exogenous agents and its mutations in the filaggrin gene might be implicated in an
increased risk to develop contact dermatitis. Moreover, atopic children are protractedly exposed to
chemical substances contained in skin care products from an early age.

Patients And Methods:

The aim of this retrospective study is to determine if atopic children are more
prone to allergic contact dermatitis and which substances are more frequently related to this disease.
From 2014 to 2016, a total of 268 children under 14 years with a history of eczematous dermatitis, of
whom 141 (52.6%) were affected, and 127 (47.4%) were not affected by AD, underwent patch testing
with the baseline S.I.D.A.P.A standard series.

Results:

Based on the results of our study, the prevalence of contact allergy in atopic children is comparable
to that noted in non-atopic children. The most frequent causes of contact allergy in children are
fragrances, and their prevalence is significantly higher in atopic children (19.9%) than in non-atopic
ones, (11.8%; p < .05).

Conclusion:

Our study highlights the importance of patch testing in atopic children for continuously
monitoring the trends and changes of contact allergies that are a common disease and is even significantly
increasing for some allergens, as fragrances. We may speculate that the protracted use of skincare
products, associated with the impaired skin barrier of atopic children, enhances the risk of sensitization
to the ingredients of these products.
A Partition Based Framework for Large Scale Ontology Matching
Authors: Patel Archana , Jain Sarika
Published: February 2019

:

Large amount of data coming from different sources and formats is available on the web which generates heterogeneity problem. Semantic web technologies play an important role for collecting, merging, matching and aggregating big data from heterogeneous resources by determining the semantic correspondence between the entities. However, achieving good efficiency is major challenge for large scale ontology matching task.

Objective:

We propose a PBOM framework for coping with the large scale ontology matching problem.

Methods:

Our proposal first selects the source ontology and calculates the similarity of concepts within source ontology by using Lin measure. We use clustering algorithm for partition of the source ontology, obtained clusters of source ontology then used to divide the target ontology. During matching process, we run matchers from the pool of the matchers over each clusters. We aggregate the result of element level matchers and structure level matchers according to weighted sum aggregation. Each cluster is executed in its processor in parallel with other clusters.

Results:

We have presented step wise execution of proposed approach over one cluster of source and target ontology. The evaluation of our framework is performed by OAEI datasets of bibliographic benchmark 2014, biomedical track 2015 and anatomy 2016.

Conclusion:

Results show that, the performance of our approach is better in term of F-measure. The combination of clustering algorithm and parallel processing reduces the memory space and time complexity of matching process.
Activation of GLP-1 and Glucagon Receptors Regulates Bile Homeostasis Independent of Thyroid Hormone
Authors: Patel Vishal J. , Joharapurkar Amit A. , Kshirsagar Samadhan G. , Sutariya Brijesh K. , Patel Maulik S. , Bahekar Rajesh H. , Jain Mukul R.
Published: February 2019

Background:

Balanced coagonists of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptors are emerging therapies for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. Such coagonists also regulate lipid metabolism, independent of their body weight lowering effects. Many actions of the coagonists are partly mediated by fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) signaling, with the major exception of bile homeostasis. Since thyroid hormone is an important regulator of bile homeostasis, we studied the involvement of thyroid hormone in coagonist-induced changes in lipid and bile metabolism.

Methods:

We evaluated the effect of a single dose of coagonist Aib2 C24 chimera2 at 150 to 10000 µg/kg on tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) mice and chow-fed mice. Repeated dose treatment of coagonist (150 µg/kg, subcutaneously) was assessed in four mice models namely, on lipid and bile homeostasis in DIO mice, propylthiouracil (PTU)-treated DIO mice, methimazole (MTM)-treated DIO mice and choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, highfat diet (CDAHFD)-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Results:

Single dose treatment of coagonist did not alter serum T3 and T4 in chow-fed mice and DIO mice. Coagonist treatment improved lipid metabolism and biliary cholesterol excretion. Chronic treatment of GLP-1 and glucagon coagonist did not alter serum T3 in hypothyroid DIO mice and CDAHFDinduced NASH. Coagonist increased serum T4 in DIO mice after 4 and 40 weeks of treatment, though no change in T4 levels was observed in hypothyroid mice or mice with NASH.

Conclusion:

Our data demonstrate that coagonist of GLP-1 and glucagon receptors does not modulate bile homeostasis via thyroid signaling.
Formulation and Evaluation of Polymeric Nanomicelles of Gliptin for Controlled Drug Delivery
Authors: Sharma Deepika , Kumar Bhavna
Published: February 2019

Objective:

The main objective of the study was to develop gliptin loaded polymeric
nanomicelles by direct dissolution method. The comparative evaluation studies were performed to study
the effect of polymer concentration on particle size, entrapment efficiency, loading capacity and drug
release of the formulation.

Methods:

Gliptin loaded polymeric nanomicelles were prepared by the direct dissolution method. The
formulations were prepared by varying the concentration of polymer and drug concentration was kept
constant in all the formulations. The concentration of polymer (pullulan) was maintained 0.1%, 0.5%
1% in formulation F-1, F-2 and F-3, respectively. The effect of polymer concentration on mean particle
size, zeta potential, % entrapment efficiency, % loading capacity and in vitro drug release was studied.

Results:

The optimized nanoformulation was obtained with pullulan 0.1% concentration with a mean
particle diameter of 368.2nm and zeta potential value (-7.96mV) indicating greater stability.

Conclusion:

Hence F-1 was considered to be the best formulation for the preparation of gliptin loaded
polymeric nanomicelles. Hence, it can be concluded that polymeric nanomicellar approach can be beneficial
to improve the bioavailability and poor permeability of class III drugs like gliptins and thus can be
a better approach for controlled drug delivery.
Power Transformer Fault Diagnosis using DGA and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Shahrabad Seyed Javad Tabatabaei , Ghods Vahid , Askari Mohammad Tolou
Published: February 2019

Background:

Power transformers are one of the most applicable electricity network devices
which transmit output power of the generator to the network through increasing voltage and
decreasing current. Due to high cost of such devices and cost of disconnecting device upon failure,
disconnection and failure of the transformer should be avoided as much as possible.

Objective:

In addition, in order to increase reliability and reduce maintenance costs, such devices
should be monitored constantly. Internal faults ionize and warm up oil and as a result, gases like
carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene and acetylene are produced. Various methods have been
proposed for diagnosing fault in power transformers where one of the most well-known methods is
dissolved gas analysis (DGA). DGA in oil is one of the effective tools for diagnosing initial faults in
transformers.

Methods:

Common fault detection methods using oil-dissolved gas analysis include Dornemburge,
Duval’s triangle, IEC/IEEE standard, key gases and Rogers. In recent years, artificial intelligence
like genetic algorithm, fuzzy logic and neural networks have been used to detect faults using DGA.
In this paper, support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree are used to detect internal faults in
power transformers.

Results:

By evaluation of the proposed methods, total accuracies of classifiers using SVM and decision
tree were 90% and 97.5%, respectively.

Conclusion:

Decision tree shows better performance and it is suggested as a proper method for obtaining
promising results.
Taxonomy on Localization Issues and Challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Sharma Amit , Singh Pradeep K.
Published: February 2019

Background:

In Wireless Sensor Networks, Localization is the most dynamic field for
research. The data extracted from the sensor nodes that carries physical location information is
very much helpful in WSNs as it is useful in major applications such as for the purpose of monitoring
of any environment, tracking and for the detection purpose. Localization is known as the estimation
of unknown node locations and its positions by communicating through localized nodes as
well as unlocalized nodes.

Objective:

The aim of this study is to present classification of various localization algorithms and
to compare them.

Methods:

The prime consideration is to know that how localization affects the network lifetime
and how these algorithms work for increasing the lifetime of a network in a severe.

Results:

This paper also aims for finding the position of the node with respect to range based, anchor
based and distributed localization techniques for harsh environments. Additionally, this paper
also features the concern that occurs with these localization techniques.

Conclusion:

The technique that gives highly accurate location coordinates and having less hardware
cost is distributed RSSI based localization algorithm.
PLAIDOYER POUR DES NON-ÉVÉNEMENTS : UNE RÉFLEXION SUR LE CENTRE D’ART WAZA
Authors: Mudekereza Patrick
Published: February 2019

Lorsque je parle du travail du centre d’art Waza en dehors du Congo, vient souvent une série de questions auxquelles je peine à répondre : quel moment est le plus propice pour venir vous rendre visite ? Avez-vous un festival ou quelque chose de la sorte ? La réponse induite dans la deuxième partie porte à croire que l’organisation d’un événement crée un moment propice pour découvrir une ville et le travail d’une organisation. S’il est vrai que la plupart des biennales et des festivals d’art public mettent un point d’honneur à travailler leur ancrage dans la société, il est tout aussi vrai que la manière dont cette offre est «emballée» pour les visiteurs étrangers crée une distance, une sorte de bulle, qui leur impose une lecture «mondialisée» du contexte plutôt qu’une rencontre profonde et sincère avec ses acteurs. Si le centre d’art a été dans son ancienne forme et sous notre ancienne appellation, l’hôte de la deuxième et de la troisième édition de la Biennale de Lubumbashi en 2010 et 2013, sa quête de pertinence s’est tournée depuis vers d’autres préoccupations.

La réponse que j’ai envie de donner est celle de faire un plaidoyer pour un non-événement. Pas un événement qui part en vrille, qui ne répond pas aux attentes du public et de la presse, mais un non-événement minutieusement préparé en tant que tel, qui pose les bases d’une rencontre, ose être flexible, se crée avec ceux qui le vivent et se prolonge dans leur quotidien.
News coverage of the Turkish issue in the Kurdish press
Authors: Fatah Yahya Omer
Published: February 2019

The Kurdish media in Kurdistan Region- especially recently- has paid a great attention to the coverage of the Turkish issues, when you follow the( visual, audible , written and electronic) kurdish media,  you obviously see the great amount of news, reports, pictures, articles , press interviews and other press editing arts, in a way or another shed light on an aspect of Turkish issues and analyse it. It is clear that the concern and coverage are from both sides. Which means that Turkish media also focus on Kurdistan Region' s issues, and covers the political, economical and social aspects of Kurdistan Region. So that it is the responsibility of the researchers and the academists to analyse the level , distance and  content of this attention and reach some scientific and informational results.

The significance of this study lies also on the academic and scientific need in Kurdistan Region of Iraq for such Studies to know how much kurdish media concern about Turkish issues. This study tried to reach some of this aim. The research is of three sections: the first one is the method of the study. The second section is the theory of the study which is about covering different issues. And in the third section, the researcher uses ( content analysis) method, in which he analysis why does the kurdish media concern about Turkish issues and did the practical part of the study

Foreign Capital and Colonial Development in Indonesia: A Synthesis
Authors: Lindblad Jan Thomas
Published: February 2019

This article discusses impacts of investment by foreign firms, in particular Dutch firms, on economy and society in Indonesia during the late colonial period (1910-1940) and immediately after independence (the 1950s). It starts out with a survey of the historiography, arguing that impacts of foreign investment on the host country have not been sufficiently specified in the literature. It offers a digression on the dimensions of foreign investment in colonial Indonesia as inferred from newly available primary data highlighting the chief characteristics of such investment. The article surveys a variety of economic and social impacts on the macro level and the level of individual regions and selected firms, focusing in particular on impacts that have so far received scant attention. A major conclusion is that positive gains did materialize in the host country, both economic and social, but also that the gains stayed short of what could potentially have been realized. The Dutch private firms investing in colonial Indonesia did display a measure of corporate social responsibility but their initiatives and efforts in that vein could have reached, considering the profitability of their operations. If so, they would have had a significantly larger impact on economy and society in colonial Indonesia.
Promoción de la felicidad y bienestar individual de estudiantes universitarios producto de una intervención en educación positiva

Published: February 2019

En la práctica educativa habitual, es común observar una separación entre la currícula "académica" de los estudiantes y su desarrollo personal y social. Sin embargo, en la actualidad hay un creciente reconocimiento de la importancia que tiene el desarrollo personal y social de los alumnos para su desempeño en el aula, al cual se le ha denominado “Educación Positiva”. Basados en dichas propuestas elaboramos una Intervención Psico-Educativo (IPE), con el propósito de integrar el aprendizaje profesional con la felicidad y el bienestar (F y B), a través de la enseñanza de estilos de vida saludables en los estudiantes de la Universidad Veracruzana (UV). Se encontró que los efectos positivos de la IPE sobre la F y B de los estudiantes fueron estadísticamente significativos. En este artículo presentamos los efectos de la IPE en el desempeño “académico” de los estudiantes, la duración de sus efectos, así como la explicación de sus efectos a la luz de la Educación Positiva. Los efectos de la IPE sobre la F y B fueron mayores después de la IPE, pero disminuyeron a los cuatro meses de su aplicación, aunque conservando mayores puntajes a los medidos antes de la IPE. Además, la IPE aumentó el rendimiento escolar de los estudiantes. Una forma de explicar estos efectos del IPE es a través de la perspectiva de los tres ejes que plantea la Psicología Positiva, mismos que se desarrollaron con las 15 sesiones de la IPE para promover emociones y actitudes positivas en los estudiantes.
Medición de actitudes hacia lesbianas y hombres homosexuales en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud del noreste de México
Authors: Moral de la Rubia José , Valle de la O Adrian
Published: February 2019

Los objetivos de este artículo fueron describir la distribución de la Escala de Actitudes hacia Lesbianas y Hombres Homosexuales (ATLG; Herek, 1984), estimar los porcentajes de rechazo y proporcionar evidencias de validez concurrente. Una muestra de 452 estudiantes universitarios de ciencias de la salud fue reclutada. La distribución de la puntuación total de la ATLG se ajustó a una curva normal. El porcentaje de rechazo fue 17% (incluyendo 3% de rechazo extremo). La correlación entre la puntuación total de la ATLG y una escala de homofobia fue positiva y con un tamaño de efecto grande. Los participantes masculinos mostraron mayor rechazo abierto hacia los hombres homosexuales que las participantes femeninas. Las medias de la puntuación total de la escala ATLG fueron más altas en heterosexuales que en homosexuales, en participantes que no tenían amigos o parientes homosexuales que en aquéllos que sí, y en estudiantes que habían iniciado su vida sexual de pareja que en aquéllos que no. Por lo tanto, se encontraron evidencias de validez. Se recomienda el uso de la escala ATLG en México.

Authors: Velasco-Benítez Carlos Alberto , Ortíz-Rivera Claudia Jimena
Published: February 2019

Introducción: La patogénesis de los desórdenes gastrointestinales funcionales (DGFs) es multifactorial.Objetivo: Investigar la prevalencia de DGFs luego del antecedente de dengue.Materiales y métodos: Estudio de prevalencia en niños entre 8-18 años de edad. Se tomaron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y el antecedente del último año de dengue diagnosticado en urgencias. Se aplicó el Cuestionario para Síntomas Gastrointestinales Pediátricos Roma III en Español para DGFs. El análisis estadístico incluyó el cálculo del OR, con IC95% y Fisher a dos colas, con una p<0.05 significativo.Resultados: Fueron incluidos 4023 niños con edad 11,9±2,3 años y 50,1% masculinos. La prevalencia para presentar al menos 1 DGFs fue 23.0% y del antecedente de haber presentado dengue en el último año del 7,5%; habiendo predominio en escolares entre 8-12 años de edad (OR=1,56 IC95%=1,20-2,04 p=0,0006) y con al menos 1 DGFs (OR=1,98 IC95%=1,53-2,56 p<0,0001). En los niños que por antecedente presentaron dengue en el último año, hubo diferencias significativas cuando tenían padres separados/divorciados.Conclusión: En este grupo de niños, los DGFs son frecuentes, presentándose mayor oportunidad de tener algún DGFs en los escolares entre los 8-12 años de edad cuando se tiene el antecedente de dengue diagnosticado en un servicio de urgencias.
Presentación atípica anogenital de virus herpes simple en un adulto VIH positivo, manejo exitoso con foscarnet: reporte de caso
Authors: Rodriguez-Herrera Daniela , Patiño-Giraldo Santiago
Published: February 2019

Las lesiones anogenitales hipertróficas, pseudotumorales y similares a placas, son presentaciones atípicas del virus herpes simple (VHS). Estas lesiones desarrollan resistencia a los tratamientos y se presentan en inmunocomprometidos, especialmente aquellos con infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 38 años de edad, VIH/SIDA, con antecedente de carcinoma escamocelular infiltrante de canal anal, con lesiones múltiples hipertróficas anogenitales y exudativas, a quien se le confirma infección por VHS-1, sin respuesta a aciclovir ni valaciclovir a dosis óptimas, el cual resuelve con 21 días de foscarnet intravenoso. Nuestro caso muestra la importancia de considerar el uso de foscarnet en adultos con infección de VIH y del VHS, que no respondan a tratamiento de primera línea, en un país donde no hay esquemas establecidos de manejo para este tipo de presentaciones y donde existe la limitante de no haber disponibilidad en pruebas para resistencia a antivirales.

Published: February 2019

Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) is associated with a significant reduction in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Glycemic control and improving HRQoL are now recognized as the main goals of patientcentered diabetes care. This pre-post quasi study aimed to assess HRQoL in type 2 diabetic patients with PDN before and after pregabalin therapy from October 2017 to April 2018. Adult Saudis outpatients (N=103) with PDN, under no specific therapy, were selected from three private hospitals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Neuropathy Symptom Score, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11), neurological examination, 10 gm monofilament, and Ewing's reflex tests were used for assessment. All enrolled patients received pregabalin 75 mg once for 1 week followed by twice daily; then higher doses were used based on response (median dose 150 mg for 6 weeks). Weekly follow up was performed for patientâ€™s severity using NRS-11 and for drug side effects. HRQOL was assessed before and 6 weeks after pregabalin therapy using the Arabic version of The RAND 36-item Health Survey. Patients had severe PDN (median of 7), poor metabolic control (median A1C of 9.1) and disabling both mental (36.71) and physical summary scores (32.50) of HRQoL (both below 50). Higher baseline A1C was significantly associated with higher pain severity (r=0.467, p=0.000) and lower pain score-QoL (r=-0.267, p=0.006). After 6 weeks of therapy, significant improvements were detected in pain severity, metabolic control and all subparameters of HRQoL (p=0.000 for all). The major side effect was dose-dependent somnolence (18%). Uncontrolled type 2 adult Saudi patients with severe PDN have disabling HRQoL. Six weeks of pregabalin therapy was safe and effective and was associated with the improvement of physical and mental parameters of HRQoL. Given its recent restrictions in Saudi Arabia, risk of misuse and dependency, other therapeutic modalities for these patients should be similarly investigated.
NA TRILHA DAS FORMIGAS: A ECLOSÃO DA CÓLERA NAS NARRATIVIDADES LITERÁRIA E FÍLMICA DE UM COPO DE CÓLERA
Authors: Navas Diana , Ventura Telma Regina
Published: February 2019

O presente estudo objetiva analisar o processo de narratividade da obra literária Um Copo de Cólera (1976), do escritor brasileiro Raduan Nassar, e do filme homônimo, dirigido pelo cineasta Aluízio Abranches (1999). Nele, intenta-se salientar as interfaces da narratividade da obra literária e da cinematográfica, em especial os elementos produtores do ritmo e do sentido narrativos, apresentando-se alguns dos recursos utilizados neste processo de transposição de linguagens. Para a realização deste intento, a investigação – de caráter bibliográfico e exploratório-descritivo – inicia-se traçando um percurso teórico que abarca os conceitos de tradução intersemiótica, de Júlio Plaza; de narratividade, de Brian McFarlane; e do dialogismo intertextual, de Bakhtin e Kristeva. A seguir, propõe a investigação da sequência de cenas, do ritmo da linguagem, das metáforas centrais e dos discursos intertextuais, de modo a evidenciar o ritmo da narratividade que, por seu turno, desencadeia a cólera proposta nas obras em análise.

Authors: Lange Carla Helena , Fioruci Wellington Ricardo
Published: February 2019

Sob a ótica da Intermidialidade e dos Estudos Interartes, este estudo teve como propósito analisar o livro Memórias de um rato de hotel (1912), com autoria atribuída a João do Rio, e a adaptação cinematográfica baseada nesta obra, Muitos homens num só (2015), dirigida por Mini Kerti. O contexto de ambas as obras é o início do século XX, durante o período da Belle Époque brasileira, auge da carreira de João do Rio e do Dr. Antônio, sendo o primeiro pseudônimo de Paulo Barreto e o segundo o de um gatuno que ficou muito famoso por roubar hotéis no Rio de Janeiro. Desta forma, contando com uma metodologia de cunho comparativo e tendo como base as teorias acerca da adaptação, esta pesquisa buscou analisar as relações entre Memórias de um rato de hotel (1912) e Muitos homens num só (2015), além de evidenciar a importância de ambas as obras no contexto literário e cinematográfico.
LA VIOLENCIA DEL OJO: CUERPO, FOTOGRAFÍA Y LITERATURA
Authors: Leal Cristina Gutiérrez , Resende Beatriz
Published: February 2019

Las representaciones del cuerpo en la literatura han permitido reflexionar acerca de cómo éste se relaciona con los consensos sociales y los parámetros biopolíticos en Occidente. Sobre todo, el cuerpo femenino convoca las más urgentes ideas del pensamiento feminista. En tal sentido, este trabajo propone pensar ese cuerpo en una doble representación artística: fotografía y literatura. Para lograrlo, dos obras de Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá sirven de material: Cámara secreta (1994) y Puertorriqueños, álbum de la sagrada familia puertorriqueña (1989). Considerando – con Susan Sontag – que todo uso de la cámara implica una agresión, son analizadas, pues, las vertientes de esta violencia del ojo que mira, fotografía, describe e interpreta el cuerpo de mujer. Las premisas teóricas de Diamela Eltit y Susan Sontag sirven de apoyo.
As mulheres ou os silêncios do humor: uma análise da presença de mulheres no humor gráfico brasileiro (1968-2011)
Authors: Crescêncio Cintia Lima
Published: February 2019

A história do humor gráfico brasileiro tem sido caracterizada por obras que demarcam a existência de um humor tipicamente nacional. Tal originalidade ocasiona a publicação de inúmeros livros que se apresentam como coletâneas que reunem os principais nomes do humor gráfico no Brasil. Nesses levantamentos os homens são uma maioria absoluta e quando as mulheres não são ignoradas por completo, elas são citadas em quantidade mínima. Diante deste cenário, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar cinco coletâneas publicadas entre os anos de 1968 e 2011 e avaliar, em termos quantitativos e qualitativos, as mulheres citadas. Como contraponto aos silêncios do humor gráfico brasileiro em relação às autoras mulheres, exploro ainda jornais alternativos feministas publicados na segunda metade do século XX, para demonstrar que diante de um cenário editorial negligente à produção das mulheres, elas encontraram caminhos alternativos para publicação de seu trabalho, construindo lugares de resistência, a exemplo do contexto atual em que a Internet é suporte fundamental para publicização de cartunistas, desenhistas, ilustradoras e quadrinistas brasileiras.

Um breve panorama do humor nos quadrinhos feministas suecos a partir da obra de Nina Hemmingsson, Malin Biller e Liv Stronquist
Authors: Nogueira Natania
Published: February 2019

A Suécia é um país que possui tradição tanto na produção quanto na participação das mulheres na cena dos quadrinhos. Mas, no início do século XXI estas mulheres passaram a ter um papel ainda maior graças a todo um contexto sócio-político que conduziu a Suécia a grandes mudanças. Foi importante nesse processo o movimento feminista e a disposição da sociedade em debater acerca da equidade de gênero. Os quadrinhos tiverem seu lugar nesse debate através de produções com um viés feminista, no qual o humor teve uma presença marcante. Para o presente artigo, utilizamos, como exemplo dessa produção, os quadrinhos de três autoras pertencentes a essa nova geração: Nina Hemmingsson, Malin Biller e Liv Strönquist. Por meio desses quadrinhos, notadamente satíricos, é possível notar a construção e descontração dos papéis de gênero assim como do próprio discurso feminista, que dá aos quadrinhos a qualidade de tecnologias de gênero.

A Nostalgia da Luz e a Memória das Estrelas: o cinema de Patricio Guzmán
Authors: Lessa Filho Ricardo , Carreiro Rodrigo
Published: February 2019

As imagens da obra de Patricio Guzmán não possuem um destino mais nobre e concreto senão o de resgatar a memória suprimida pela ditadura chilena de Augusto Pinochet. Suas imagens nos concedem uma lição de história e de humanidade. A partir de análise de fragmentos dos filmes do diretor chileno, este estudo pretende examinar a ideia de resgate e corporificação de uma memória física e afetiva, a partir das possibilidades abertas pela sobrevivência das imagens registradas pelo cinema de Guzmán, que luta para comprovar os crimes de Pinochet, e honrar a identidade dos mortos naquele período.

A caça à verdade: critérios, metodologias e selos do Fact-Checking brasileiro
Authors: Peixoto João Guilherme de Melo , Souza Alice Cristiny Ferreira de
Published: February 2019

Parte integrante de uma pesquisa que aborda a definição do conceito de notícia falsa em circulação nas redes sociais, o presente artigo analisa alguns dos critérios, metodologias e selagens adotadas por três serviços de checagem de fatos brasileiros signatários do código internacional de conduta e princípios do Fact-Checking. A partir de revisão bibliográfica da construção do conceito de verdade e pós-verdade, conclui-se que a dificuldade em delimitar o que é verdade interfere na maneira como os serviços de Fact-Checking apontam os resultados das checagens realizadas.
