Slavic Medieval manuscript tradition contains two main groups of Gregory
Nazianzen?s orations collections. One group belongs to well-known Greek
manuscript tradition. Another group differs from it. It is characteristic of
the Slavic manuscripts. This paper deals with the collection of orations from
the library of the monastery Decani bearing the signature 92. The manuscript
dates to 1351. Its content reveals the affiliation with the Greek tradition
which is elaborated in brief. The oration in praise of the Maccabees is
analysed in details. It is compared with original text and the differences
are noted. Some methodological elements connected with the translation
techniques are noted as well. At the end this paper presents the Serbian
Slavonic text of the oration.

Published: January 2018

IN BRIEF Given the progressive nature of type 2 diabetes, treatment intensification is usually necessary to maintain glycemic control. However, for a variety of reasons, treatment is often not intensified in a timely manner. The combined use of basal insulin and a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist is recognized to provide a complementary approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of two co-formulation products, insulin degludec/liraglutide and insulin glargine/lixisenatide, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on either component agent alone. We consider the benefits and limitations of these medications based on data from randomized clinical trials and discuss how they may address barriers to treatment intensification.

Although the central nervous system has been implicated in glucocorticoid-induced gain of fat mass, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible involvement of hypothalamic serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) in glucocorticoid-increased adiposity. It is well known that SGK1 expression is induced by acute glucocorticoid treatment, but it is interesting that we found its expression to be decreased in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, including proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, following chronic dexamethasone (Dex) treatment. To study the role of SGK1 in POMC neurons, we produced mice that developed or experienced adult-onset SGK1 deletion in POMC neurons (PSKO). As observed in Dex-treated mice, PSKO mice exhibited increased adiposity and decreased energy expenditure. Mice overexpressing constitutively active SGK1 in POMC neurons consistently had the opposite phenotype and did not experience Dex-increased adiposity. Finally, Dex decreased hypothalamic α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) content and its precursor Pomc expression via SGK1/FOXO3 signaling, and intracerebroventricular injection of α-MSH or adenovirus-mediated FOXO3 knockdown in the arcuate nucleus largely reversed the metabolic alterations in PSKO mice. These results demonstrate that POMC SGK1/FOXO3 signaling mediates glucocorticoid-increased adiposity, providing new insights into the mechanistic link between glucocorticoids and fat accumulation and important hints for possible treatment targets for obesity.

A bomb explosion in the City of London, England, not only shook Jasser Auda’s soul, but also increased the academic anxiety that encouraged him to start writing an important work in his academic career entitled Maqasid al-Shariah as Philosophy of Islamic Law. The peak of his anxiety is a fidgetiness accumulation that he experienced during the struggle with the academic world, especially Islamic law. The condition of Muslims at that time is increasingly culminating in the case of terrorism in London that took the name of Islamic law1 coupled with the low level of muslims human development index (HDI) indicated the inferioity as well as the low quality of Muslims both in terms of science, education, politics, economy, women's empowerment, and other capabilities that were still under of minimum standards2. Jasser Auda also felt an intellectual anxiety when finding the reality of Islamic law (fiqh) seemed to be lacking in solutions to the Islamic community in general. The anxieties here are not related to the material in Islamic law but to the understanding, thought, determination and implementation of Islamic law in the daily lives of Muslims in various countries.

Einstein, Epstein, Eisenstein
Authors: Pönni Antti
Published: January 2018

Artikkelissa analysoidaan ajatusta neljännestä ulottuvuudesta elokuvassa Sergei Eisensteinin ja Jean Epsteinin kirjoituksissa. Tärkeimmät tarkasteltavat tekstit ovat Eisensteinin ”Neljäs ulottuvuus elokuvassa” (1929) sekä Epsteinin ”Eräistä fotogeenisyyden ehdoista” (1924) ja Intelligence d’un machine (”Koneen äly”, 1946). Neljännen ulottuvuuden ajatus Epsteinilla ja Eisensteinilla juontuu ensisijaisesti Albert Einsteinin suhteellisuusteoriasta, mutta sitä tarkastellaan myös suhteessa muihin, 1900-luvun alussa suosittuihin käsityksiin neljännestä ulottuvuudesta.

Vaikka Eisensteinin ja Epsteinin näkemykset perustuvatkin suurelta osin heidän käsityksiinsä aikakauden tieteestä, heidän ajattelussaan on myös merkittävä piirre, jota voitaisiin luonnehtia ”mystiseksi”. Tätä tieteen ja mystisyyden välistä jännitettä heidän kirjoituksissaan analysoidaan erityisesti sen R. Bruce Elderin esittämän ajatuksen pohjalta, että modernisuuden vauhdittama kognition kriisi synnytti oudon ”pneumaattisen epistemologian”, joka oli näkyvästi läsnä 1910- ja 1920-lukujen avantgardetaiteessa ja -elokuvassa.

Eisensteinin päätavoite on vaikuttaa katsojiin elokuvallisten keinojen avulla. Hän yhdistää neljännen ulottuvuuden ajatuksen kuvassa näkyvään liikkeeseen, jonka hän näkee yhtenä ilmentymänä siitä, mitä hän kutsuu ”yläsävelmontaasiksi”. Eisenstein näkee visuaaliset ”yläsävelet” refleksologisina ärsykkeinä, jotka vaikuttavat katsojaan tiukan materialistisella ja deterministisellä tavalla. Eisenstein ei kuitenkaan kykene sisällyttämään kaikkia elokuvallisia vaikutuksia reduktiiviseen malliinsa, joten hän päätyy väljentämään malliaan ja tuomaan ajatteluunsa mukaan enemmän tai vähemmän ”mystisiä” elementtejä pyrkien kuitenkin pitäytymään dialektisen materialismin viitekehyksessä.

Epstein seuraa Einsteinin aika-avaruuden ideaa (aikaa neljäntenä ulottuvuutena) lähemmin ja johdonmukaisemmin kuin Eisenstein. Epsteinin tavoitteena ei ole katsojaan vaikuttaminen vaan pikemminkin tuoda katsoja kohtaamaan toinen, ei-inhimillinen ”ajattelun” tai maailman havaitsemisen muoto, jota elokuvakone edustaa. Toisin kuin Eisenstein, Epstein tuo mystiset elementit kirjoituksiinsa jo aivan alusta lähtien, erityisesti varhaisessa teoksessaan La lyrosophie (1922). Vaikka tieteellis-rationaalisilla näkökannoilla onkin merkittävä asema Epsteinin kirjoituksissa, hän ei pyri häivyttämään mystisiä elementtejä vaan pikemmin yhdistämään nämä kaksi laajemmaksi kokonaisuudeksi.
”Mulla on kans suomalaisuutta alitajunnassa”
Authors: Oikarinen-Jabai Helena
Published: January 2018

Artikkelissa kuvaillaan, kuinka ryhmä nuoria somalitaustaisia naisia ja miehiä tutki kuulumisen kokemuksiaan ja paikantumisiaan performatiivisen, osallistavan tutkimuksen puitteissa toteutetuissa audiovisuaalisissa tuotannoissa. Performatiivinen tutkimusasetelma ja sen mahdollistamat fyysiset ja metaforiset kohtaamisen tilat tarjosivat kaikille tutkimukseen ja tuotantotiimeihin osallistuneille mahdollisuuden neuvotella produktioiden sisällöstä ja muodosta ja osallistua näin ”keskeneräisen tiedon” tuottamisen prosessiin.

Produktioissaan osallistuvat nuoret liikkuivat ”kaipuun maisemissa”, muistojen äärellä ja konkreettisissa paikoissa. Raottaessaan moninaisia, toisiaan leikkaavia kuulumisiaan ja ylirajaisia kodin kokemuksiaan he samalla kiistivät ja mursivat stereotyyppisiä mielikuvia somalialaisista versus suomalaisista ja ”meistä” ja ”heistä”, joita median audiovisuaaliset narratiivit ja yhteiskunnalliset diskurssit heidän mielestään usein tuottavat. Audiovisuaalinen työskentely auttoi nuoria tuottamaan hybridejä kertomuksia, joissa monenlaiset kuulumisen kokemukset ja identifikaatiot ovat läsnä samanaikaisesti. He tuottivat myös kuvastoa ja puhetta, joka kyseenalaistaa, parodioi ja muokkaa suomalaisuuden kansallisia representaatioita. Heidän kokemustensa jakaminen auttoi meitä muita osallistujia tarkastelemaan kriittisesti omia tulkintojamme, toimintatapojamme ja epistemologisia lähtökohtiamme.

Authors: Jodra Pablo , Domínguez Raúl , Maté-Muñoz José Luis
Published: January 2018

En este escrito se presenta un estudio sobre las conductas disruptivas en niños y adolescentes y su relación con la práctica sistemática de actividad física y deporte. Además, se analiza la influencia que tiene el tipo de modalidad deportiva en la manifestación de respuestas de tipo disocial de los participantes. Para ello, se utilizó el Factor Disocial del Cuestionario para la Detección de los Trastornos del Comportamiento en Niños y Adolescentes (ESPERI), con una muestra de 525 menores. Entre los resultados se destaca que los niños y adolescentes que practican de forma regular una actividad deportiva presentan un menor número de conductas de tipo disocial que aquellos que no practican ningún deporte. Se pone de también de manifiesto que la modalidad deportiva practicada es un factor que influye en la interiorización de patrones de respuesta social; a este respecto, las modalidades individuales tienen, en comparación con las de equipo, una menor incidencia en la generación de respuestas disociales.

Josep Elias i Juncosa el primer «apóstol» del olimpismo y del deporte escolar en España
Authors: Torrebadella-Flix Xavier , Arrechea-Rivas Fernando
Published: January 2018

En España, la historia aún está en deuda en lo que se refiere a restablecer las contribuciones de muchas personas emblemáticas y pioneras que lideraron las propagandas contemporáneas del deporte. Sobre esta cuestión, el presente artículo aborda testimonios esenciales para rescatar del olvido a la figura de Josep Elias i Juncosa, al que consideramos el primer apóstol del olimpismo y del deporte escolar en España. A través de una revisión bibliografía de fuentes primarias de la época (entre 1900 y 1924) en torno a la educación física y el deporte, y con la aportación de los datos biográficos publicados sobre Josep Elias, elaboramos un relato histórico crítico con el objetivo de (re)posicionar históricamente a este emblemático sportsman catalán. El comprometido vínculo de Josep Elias con el deporte y la difusión que hizo de las ideas de Tomas Arnold y del barón Pierre de Coubertin en España, le hacen digno de ser considerado uno de los principales promotores del deporte de principios del siglo XX y también un eminente embajador de la pedagogía deportiva.
Culto heróico, cerimônias fúnebres e a origem dos Jogos Olímpicos
Authors: Sarian Haiganuch
Published: January 2018

Organizados e instituídos em 776 a.C., em Olímpia, os Jogos Olímpicos recuam, entretanto, no tempo, quando suas origens se identificam com a própria história do santuário. Referências significativas em Píndaro (Olímpicas), e em Pausânias (5,13) apontam para o mito de Pélope, herói local que havia vencido em duelo Enomau, pai de Hipodâmia, num rito nupcial e de sucessão ao trono, façanha que o prestigiou, após a sua morte, com um santuário caracterizado como um herôon, em cujas proximidades Héracles, seu descendente, deu início à prática de Jogos Fúnebres em sua honra. Pode-se supor que antes de consagrar Zeus em Olímpia, os concursos atléticos tenham homenageado Pélope. À menção de Pausânias, acrescentam-se as descobertas arqueológicas que identificaram e recuperaram o túmulo de Pélope - o Pelópion, cujos vestígios remontam ao início do I rnilênio a.C., evidenciando tratar-se da primeira instalação de caráter cultual no santuário de Olímpia. Desses Jogos Fúnebres tem-se uma ideia mais precisa com base nos funerais de Pátroclo tal como os registram a poesia homérica e as representações figuradas arcaicas que, como todas as cerimônias funerárias na Grécia antiga, correspondiam a um ritual de revigoração do morto e, em consequência, da comunidade. Neste contexto, enriquece-se o sentido dos Jogos Olímpicos na Grécia antiga que, em sua origem, estariam também vivificando o grupo social.

Health behavior and health-related quality of life in patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease
Authors: Petek Davorina , Petek-Ster Marija , Tusek-Bunc Ksenija
Published: January 2018

Background

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is measuring a patient’s experience of his health status and represents an outcome of medical interventions. Existing data proves that a healthy lifestyle is positively associated with HRQoL in all age groups. Patients with a high risk for cardiovascular disease typically led an unhealthy lifestyle combined with risk diseases. We aimed to analyse these characteristics and their reflection in HRQoL.

Methods

A cross-sectional study in 36 family practices, stratified by location and size. Each practice invited 30 high-risk patients from the register. Data were obtained from medical records and patient questionnaire. The EQ-5D questionnaire and the VAS scale were used for measuring the patient’s HRQoL as an independent variable.

Results

871 patients (80.6% response rate) were included in the analysis. 60.0% had 3-4 uncontrolled risk factors for CVD. The average VAS scale was 63.2 (SD 19.4). The correlation of EQ-5D was found in the number of visits in the practice (r=-0.31, p<0.001), the socioeconomic status (r=-0.25, p=0.001), age (r=-0.27, p=0.001) and healthy diet (r=0.20, p=0.006). In a multivariate model, only physical activity among lifestyle characteristics was an independent predictor of HRQoL (p=0.001, t=3.3), along with the frequency of visits (p<0.001, t=-5.3) and age (p=0.025, t=-2.2).

Conclusion

This study has been performed on a specific group of patients, not being “really sick”, but having less optimal lifestyle in many cases. Encouragement to improve or keep healthy lifestyle, especially physical activity, is important, not only to lower the risk for CVD, but also to improve HRQoL.

Corporate social responsibility and development: a study of stakeholder perspectives of listed South African companies
Authors: Patel L , Mushonga Henry
Published: January 2018

The issues of poverty and inequality, unemployment and the poor living conditions of employees in communities where local and multinational corporations operate have reemerged on the development agenda as a result of growing labour unrest in South Africa, particularly in the mining sector. This article aims to contribute to the conceptualisation and understanding of corporate social responsibility (CSR), including how the philosophy of a developmental state is understood by different stakeholders. A qualitative study was conducted of the CSR initiatives of ten listed national and multinational companies. Interviews were conducted with multiple stakeholders, including the labour force, government, business representatives and community members. The findings suggest that CSR remains an underdeveloped field of enquiry in development studies, underpinned by diverse ideological perspectives among stakeholders regarding its direction and implementation. Despite this situation, an emerging consensus exists that the economic and social goals of companies are interconnected, calling for an integrated approach to CSR. Recommendations are made for rethinking CSR conceptually and strengthening CSR capacity at company level and in academic enquiry.

Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was to explore and describe the perceptions of professional nurses concerning barriers to care for people with mental illness in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The study was based on a qualitative, explorative and descriptive design. Â A total of nine professional nurses working in primary, secondary and tertiary health care facilities were purposively selected. Unstructured interviews were conducted to collect data. Participantsâ€™ responses were captured on an audio recorder and later transcribed verbatim.Participantsâ€™ responses were then analysed thematically.Â Two main themes and their related sub-themes were identified. The first theme concerns the perceptions of professional nurses regarding the societal barriers that may hinder people with mental illness from accessing and utilising mental health services. These barriers include socioeconomic hardships, lack of knowledge and insight, lack of family support, embedded cultural beliefs and practices and stigma. The second theme highlights the barriers that professional nurses perceive within the health care system that influence access and utilisation of mental health services. These barriers include inadequate support from stakeholders and leaders in the mental health sector and lack of financial, human and infrastructure resources.Â Professional nurses made recommendations to improve mental health care. Those of high priority included enhanced mental health literacy among members of the public and a need for mental health stakeholders and leaders to increase their support of the mental health sector in an effort to improve access to mental health care.

Cerrado ainda se encontra pouco valorizado em termos de conservação. Estudos recentes, com base em dados de Sensoriamento Remoto, apontam um estágio de conversão deste bioma na ordem de 50%, degradação esta normalmente relacionada às atividades de pastoreio, agricultura, mineração, hidroelétricas e carvoarias. Insere-se ai a proposta geral deste artigo, a qual é, ainda que de forma preliminar, relacionar os aspectos físicos da paisagem, representados aqui pelas unidades geomorfológicas de relevo, com o processo de ocupação da fronteira agropecuária no Estado de Goiás. Dentre os objetivos específicos, busca-se quantificar e compreender a distribuição dos remanescentes de Cerrado e classes de uso do solo para as diversas categorias geomorfológicas no Estado.

O diagnóstico e monitoramento da dinâmica de ocupação vegetacional, a partir das características das plantas, permitem avaliar a disponibilidade dos recursos naturais. Este trabalho objetiva analisar a cobertura vegetal utilizando processamento digital de imagem via satélite do município de Brejo da Madre de Deus, a fim de contribuir para o diagnóstico e monitoramento da vegetação. Imagem do satélite CBERS-2, sensor CCD, de 20 julho de 2007 foi processada e estimada a reflectância e o IVDN. Este último foi classificado para a determinação de áreas não-vegetadas e de fitofisiografias com vegetação rala, esparsa, vegetação/área de transição e densa. O comportamento espectral da vegetação foi influenciado pelo comportamento espectral do solo exposto. Aproximadamente 56% da área vegetada aumentou o vigor e a densidade vegetacional com o aumento da altitude. A vegetação rala e esparsa ocupou, aproximadamente, 40% da área estudada. O diagnóstico disponibiliza informações iniciais que viabilizam o acompanhamento da alteração da biodiversidade vegetal em um município do semi-árido nordestino sob diversas ações antrópicas.
PROCEDIMENTOS METODOLÓGICOS PARA ELABORAÇÃO DO MAPA DO FATOR L*S DA EQUAÇÃO UNIVERSAL DE PERDA DE SOLO (EUPS) UTILIZANDO SISTEMAS DE INFORMAÇÕES GEOGRÁFICAS (SIG)

A aplicação de modelos matemáticos para previsão dos processos erosivos depende do entendimento de diferentes fatores que envolvem o fenômeno. Recentemente, com o uso de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG), que possibilita o cruzamento mais eficiente de dados espaciais, modelos como a Equação Universal de Perda de Solo (EUPS) tornaram-se instrumento de gestão ambiental para o meio físico, em geral. O fator L*S constitui-se no fator topográfico da (EUPS) e representa o comprimento da rampa (L) e a declividade (S) de uma vertente. Os mapas L e S são elaborados a partir do MDT (Modelo Digital do Terreno) e de valores médios adquiridos por meio da aplicação de métodos estatísticos. Os resultados obtidos a partir da metodologia desenvolvida foram satisfatórios tendo em vista a proximidade, que os mapas finais obtidos, tiveram com a realidade, constatada em campo.

Comunidades Vegetais variam em composição e riqueza de espécies em relação às condições abióticas locais. O sucesso na colonização do espaço geográfico por cada espécie depende das estratégias adaptativas que a planta apresenta. Este estudo analisou as características morfológicas foliares em espécies estabelecidas em uma área de restinga, em uma fisionomia de praia, objetivando agrupar espécies com características morfológicas foliares similares. Detectou-se um alto índice de variações nas características morfológicas analisadas. As variações fenotípicas encontradas nas 27 espécies analisadas possibilitam um melhor desempenho deste órgão para a captação de luz e eficiência na fotossíntese. Deste modo, os grupos funcionais formados através das diferenças morfológicas podem ser considerados grupos com uma melhor proximidade morfológica do que filogenética por apresentarem uma maior homogeneidade nas características morfológicas do que na proximidade filogenética.

Published: January 2018

A bacia do Rio Maracujá, localizada no centro-sul do Quadrilátero Ferrífero, vem sendo amplamente estudada em razão dos abundantes voçorocamentos em rochas do embasamento cristalino. Muito pouco se sabe sobre a dinâmica fluvial dessa bacia, marcada por um grande fornecimento sedimentar aos cursos d’água. No intuito de suprir lacunas como esta e contribuir para a compreensão da evolução geomorfológica do Quadrilátero Ferrífero, este trabalho apresenta o quadro dos níveis e seqüências deposicionais fluviais do vale do rio Maracujá. Os registros deposicionais permitem o levantamento de reflexões e comparações entre os eventos paleogeomorfológicos e a dinâmica fluvial atual. O estudo foi baseado em trabalhos de campo, com levantamento de perfis estratigráficos e caracterização dos níveis e seqüências deposicionais, posteriormente mapeados e representados em perfis-síntese e esquemas de seções transversais. Os resultados mostram a existência de três níveis de terraço e um de planície e sua interpretação revela mudanças significativas no padrão de sedimentação da bacia, antes marcada por espessos pacotes argilosos e hoje caracterizada pela arenização dos depósitos. Morfologicamente, o Rio Maracujá vem se alterando, tendendo a apresentar um padrão entrelaçado em alguns trechos, em razão do intenso fornecimento sedimentar gerado pelos voçorocamentos e por atividades antrópicas, como a mineração. O escalonamento dos níveis de terraço se mostra como resposta ao contínuo soerguimento do escudo brasileiro apontado em trabalhos anteriores sobre a dinâmica fluvial no Quadrilátero Ferrífero.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da cobertura plástica sobre a temperatura do ar em parreirais no Vale do Submédio São Francisco. A pesquisa foi conduzida em parreirais produtivos de uva de mesa variedade Festival em Petrolina, PE (09º 06’ 14’’ S; 40º 29’ 52” W; altitude 360 m), no período de 17/09/2010 a 10/10/2010, durante a fase de maturação e colheita da uva. Foram empregados três tratamentos, cada um, representado por 12 m de fileira descritos a seguir: tratamento 1 - sem cobertura plástica (SCob); tratamento 2 - com cobertura plástica posicionada a 50 cm acima do dossel (CP50); e tratamento 3 - com cobertura plástica posicionada a 100 cm acima do dossel (CP100). Medidas de temperatura do ar e velocidade do vento foram efetuadas a 20 cm acima e abaixo do dossel, esta última, na altura média dos cachos. Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento CP50 proporcionou aquecimento acentuado na camada do ar sobre o dossel do parreiral com a temperatura máxima atingindo 45,4 °C, valor 10,1 °C maior do que a temperatura máxima no tratamento SCob e 7,3 °C maior do que a temperatura máxima no tratamento CP100. Isso evidenciou que a altura da cobertura plástica sobre o dossel do parreiral influencia no seu microclima e deve ser levada em consideração quando do planejamento de sua utilização.Palavras-chave: Uva de mesa, Cultivo Protegido, Aquecimento, Parreiral.  Influence of the Plastic Cover on the Vineyard Temperature in the Submédium São Francisco Valley  ABSTRACTThis study evaluated the influence of the plastic cover on the air temperature in vineyards in the region of the São Francisco Valley. The study was conducted in vineyards of table grape variety Festival in Petrolina, PE, Brazil (09º 06 '14";;;;;;;; S; 4 ° 29' 52";;;;;;;; W; elevation 360 m) in the period from Sep./17/2010 to Oct./10/2010. The following treatments were evaluated, each represented by 12 m of row: treatment 1 - no plastic cover (SCob); treatment 2 - plastic cover 50 cm above the canopy (CP50); and treatment 3 - plastic cover 100 cm above the canopy (CP100). Measurements of air temperature and wind speed were made at 20 cm above and below the canopy around the location of grapes bunches. The results showed that the plastic at the height of 50 cm provided a dramatic warming in the layer of air above the vineyard canopy with the maximum temperature reaching 45.4 °C which represents a value 10.1 °C greater than the maximum temperature without the canopy cover and 7.3 °C higher than the maximum temperature of the canopy of 100 cm. This evidence showed the influence of de height of the plastic cover on the canopy of the vineyard microclimate and it has to be considerade when planning their use. Keywords: Grape table.

Authors: Faria Bruno Lopes , Justino Flavio Barbosa
Published: January 2018

Foram realizadas simulações climáticas a partir de 2 experimentos de sensibilidade numérica conduzidos com um modelo acoplado de complexidade intermediária, LOVECLIM, estendendo-se para um período de 300 anos. Sendo que, neste experimento foi realizada a redução em 50% da topografia geral do hemisfério norte, um com modelo acoplado (oceano-atmosfera) e outro desacoplado (somente atmosfera). Nos resultados obtidos, foram observadas alterações no padrão de clima global e local, em especial a região da Ásia, relacionadas com aumento de temperatura do ar à superfície e intensidade do vento. Maiores alterações foram observados em regiões continentais no hemisfério norte. Isto mostra o maior impacto local causado pela forçante topográfica com o a redução da pela metade da topografia boreal. Palavras-chave: Topografia, Mudanças Climáticas, Modelos Climáticos, Forçante Climática   Modelling the Impact of Topography on Global Climate Boreal  ABSTRACTSimulations were conducted from two numerical sensitivity experiments conducted with a coupled model with intermediate complexity, LOVECLIM, extending for a period of 300 years. Since this experiment was carried out 50% reduction in the general topography of the northern hemisphere, with a coupled model (ocean-atmosphere) and the other uncoupled (atmosphere only). Their results have been observed changes in the pattern of global and local climate, particularly in Asia, linked to increase of air temperature and wind intensity. The biggest impacts were observed in continental regions in the north hemisphere. This shows the greater local impact caused by topographic forcing Keywords: Topography, Climate Change, Climate Models, Topographic Forcing
