Shaping Religious Reading Cultures in the Early Modern Netherlands: The “Glossed Bibles” of Jacob van Liesvelt and Willem Vorsterman (1532–1534ff.)
Authors: François Wim , Corbellini Sabrina
Published: December 2019

The historiography of Dutch Bible translations has largely focused on Jacob van Liesvelt’s 1526 “protestantizing” version, and Willem Vorsterman’s subsequent efforts to transform that version into a “Catholic” Bible (1528–1529). Less attention has been given to the following stage in the Antwerp printers’ competition to attract Bible readers: In 1532 Van Liesvelt published a Bible, containing a large number of annotations in the margins of the Old Testament, which chronologically situate the biblical events in the history of the world and the economy of salvation, next to other paratextual elements. Vorsterman responded by bringing a “catholicizing” glossed Bible to the market (1533–1534), in which typological annotations were also included in the margins. While giving an analysis of the text, paratext and imagery of the abovementioned Bibles, this article will investigate how the interplay of these elements on the page contributed to the creation of specific reading habits and strategies and stimulated the readers to perform specific reading and devotional activities. Also the inclusion of topical registers and liturgical reading schedules as navigational tools will be taken into consideration.
Bibles in the Hands of Readers: Dutch, English, French, and Italian Perspectives
Authors: Fulton Thomas
Published: December 2019

Vernacular Bibles and biblical texts were among the most circulated and most read books in late medieval and early modern Europe, both in manuscript and print. Vernacular scripture circulated throughout Europe in different ways and to different extents before and after the Reformation. In spite of the differences in language, centers of publication, and confessional orientation, there was nonetheless considerable collaboration and common ground. This collection of essays explores the readership of Dutch, English, French, and Italian biblical and devotional texts, focusing in particular on the relationships between the texts and paratexts of biblical texts, the records of ownership, and the marks and annotations of biblical readers. Evidence from early modern biblical texts and their users of all sorts – scholars, clerics, priests, laborers, artisans, and anonymous men and women, Protestant and Catholic – sheds light on how owners and readers used the biblical text.
The Effectiveness of Mental Practice Interventions on Psychological Health in Stroke Patients: A Systematic Review
Authors: Storm Vera , Utesch Till
Published: December 2019

Objective

Motor impairments after stroke can lead to limitations in functional performance and mental health. Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have mainly assessed randomized clinical trials of mental practice interventions (MPI) among stroke patients, focusing on physical outcomes. However, mentally rehearsing a motor movement might increase a patient’s self-confidence within the recovery process and thus also lead to positive effects on psychological outcomes. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effectiveness of MPI on psychological health outcomes.

Methods

We performed a systematic review of RCTs according to PRISMA guidelines. 16.125 records were identified through PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Cochrane resulting in 8.573 documents after duplicates were removed. After excluding 8.507 documents during title and abstract screening, 64 could be full-text screened. All clinical and randomized controlled trials designed to investigate the effects of mental practice on psychological health in adult patients after stroke were considered eligible.

Results

Six studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. The six included studies partly showed positive effects of MPI on psychological health such as quality of life, stroke-specific quality of life, fall-related self-efficacy, positive and negative affect but not on anxiety and depression. Overall, the methodological power is lacking. The included studies differ substantially regarding study design, sample size, intervention protocol and psychological health operationalization.

Conclusions

The results show inconsistent effects of MPI on psychological health. More systematic research is needed to investigate the effects of MPI on psychological health and give several recommendations for future research.
Comparison between metabolically healthy obesity and metabolically unhealthy obesity by different definitions among Mexican children
Authors: Evia-Viscarra María Lola , Guardado-Mendoza Rodolfo
Published: December 2019

Background

There is no consensus on the definition of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and the diagnostic criteria in children.

Objectives

To estimate the prevalence of MHO and compare clinical and biochemical characteristics between MHO and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), and to evaluate the association between MUO and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, anthropometrics and family background using different definitions in children.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study. Participants included 224 obese children between the years 2007 and 2017. MHO was defined by three different criteria: (i) absence of metabolic syndrome (MHO-MS), (ii) no insulin resistance (IR) by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) <3.16 cut-off (MHO-IR3.16) and (iii) absence of IR at <95th percentile for Mexican children (MHO-95th).

Results

The prevalence of MHO-MS, MHO-IR3.16 and MHO-IR95th was 12.9%, 56.3% and 41.5%, respectively. The prevalence of simultaneous MHO-MS plus MHO-IR95th was 5.36%. Children with MHO-MS vs. MUO-MS showed lower height, weight and body mass index (BMI) percentiles; MHO-IR3.16 vs. MUO-IR3.16 showed lower age, acanthosis, Tanner, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and glucose; and MHO-IR95th vs. MUO-IR95th showed lower acanthosis, WC, DBP, glucose and high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). MUO-MS was associated with WC > 90th, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in first-degree relatives and obesity in siblings. MUO-IR3.16 was associated with pubertal stages, WC > 90th, WHtR > 0.55 and fasting hyperglycemia. MUO-IR95th was associated with WHtR > 0.55 and HDL < 10th. MHO-MS and MHO-IR3.16 or MHO-IR95th did not have agreement.

Conclusions

The prevalence of MHO varied depending on the definition, although the real MHO with no MS or IR is very low. Low DBP and high HDL-C in MHO were present in any definition. Association of MUO with anthropometric, biochemical and family background differs across definitions.

Investigation of home ranges, sex ratio and recruitment of the multimammate rat (Mastomys natalensis) in semi-arid areas of Tanzania was conducted in maize and fallow fields using the capture-mark-release (CMR) technique. The aim of this study was to generate useful data for the management of M. natalensis. The relative home range size of M. natalensis was significantly higher during the wet [544 m2 ± 25 standard error (SE)] than during the dry (447 m2 ± 18 SE) season, in males (521 m2 ± 23 SE) than in females (450 m2 ± 17 SE) and in adults (576 m2 ± 34 SE) than in juveniles (459 m2 ± 16 SE). However, there were no significant differences between habitats. Sex ratio was not significantly different (p = 0.44) between habitats. Recruitment was significantly higher (p = 0.000) in maize fields (mean = 0.43) than in fallow land (mean = 0.32) and differed significantly over time (p < 0.0001) with the highest recruitment recorded from April to July and the lowest from October to December. Management strategies should focus on managing rodents inhabiting maize fields using methods that affect their recruitment in order to reduce the population increase of M. natalensis.

De-border Yourself/Desfronterízate
Authors: Yeh Rihan
Published: December 2019

In 2018, amid US president Donald Trump’s ongoing calls to “build the wall” along the US-Mexico border, protestors in the Mexican border city of Tijuana took up his incendiary rhetoric and turned it against the caravans of Central Americans on their way to seek asylum in the United States. This essay explores the deeper logics of recent anti-migrant sentiment in Mexico by unpacking a promotional video that was popular there during Trump’s campaign. Though the video ostensibly controverts Trump’s call to “build the wall,” I argue, it ultimately reinforces an underlying distinction between the “we” it convokes and the undocumented labor migrant to the United States. The essay thus seeks the roots of contemporary Mexican xenophobia in older dynamics of class distinction within Mexico. Tijuana, finally, helps grasp how the border exacerbates these dynamics, and why US racism can make distinctions among Mexicans and among Latin Americans fiercer and more pernicious.
Phraseme zu Haus und Hof in der deutschen Sprachgeschichte
Authors: Bettina Bock , Kristina Manerowa
Published: December 2019

Cultural and social change goes hand in hand with linguistic change, especially in the form of semantic change, but also as phraseological change. The following questions are addressed in this article: What happens to phrasemes when a fixed component of them is undergoing semantic change? And what happens when the meaning of a phraseme as a whole changes? Which connections between cultural-social and phraseological change become visible? Using German phrasemes from the semantic field “home” as an example, seven possible cases of the connection between semantic and phraseological change are examined:

The components of a phraseme and the phraseme as a whole do not change in essential areas of their semantics and prototypicality

A component of a phraseme changes its meaning regarding one or more prototypical features, but the phraseme as a whole retains its meaning

A component of a phraseme changes its meaning prototypically and the phraseme gains a new overall meaning

The components of a phraseme do not change with respect to their prototypicality, but the phraseme as a whole does

A phraseme dies out, although the components survive

A component dies out, but the phraseme itself lives on

One component changes and the phraseme dies out.

Methodologically, the etymology of semantic fields and linguoculturology also play a role in the examination. The semantic field “home” offers itself for the analysis in a special way, as the home has been a central element of human life through the ages, which on the one hand shows a great stability as a concept, but on the other hand is exposed to innovations again and again. Accordingly, the examples cover the entire period of German language history from Old High German to evidences from the 21st century.
Segmental orifice plates and the emulation of the 90°-bend
Authors: Straka Martin , Koglin Christian , Eichler Thomas
Published: December 2019

The 90 ° - bend represents the most common structural element in piping systems and can have a significant impact on the measuring accuracy of flow meters installed downstream. Within the type-approval procedure of water meters, its impact is emulated by means of a segmental orifice plate with a segment area of 7 % (SOP7). In research and development, coverage rates of 33 % (SOP33) or more are sometimes used as an alternative. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparability of the flow conditions and their influence on the measurement deviation of flow meters, which is the basic requirement for using SOPs as a substitute for the 90°- bend. We present laser Doppler measurements downstream of an SOP33 and a 90°- bend and describe the flow development in a distance range from 2 to 30 diameters. Besides a quantitative comparison with performance indicators, the measurements are used to model the response of an ultrasonic and electromagnetic flow meter, including recent investigations of an SOP7. The results demonstrate the consistently poor agreement between the SOP7 and the 90°- bend, whereas the SOP33 provides similar flow conditions starting at a distance of 10 diameters. Further studies are necessary to develop a disturbance generator emulating the near-field range.
„Eine irreführende Parallele“
Authors: Majetschak Stefan
Published: December 2019

“A Misleading Parallel”. Wittgenstein on Conceptual Confusion in Psychology and the Semantics of Psychological Concepts. After the Philosophical Investigations, except for details, were largely finished in 1945, Wittgenstein, in his final years, undertook an intensive study of the grammar of our psychological concepts and the philosophical misinterpretations we often assign to them. Anyone looking through these extensive collections of philosophical remarks will probably quite often find it difficult to understand which questions Wittgenstein was addressing with individual remarks or groups of remarks and where the philosophical problems lay for which he was trying to find a solution, whether therapeutic or otherwise appropriate.

In the article at hand I do not claim to fathom the full range of Wittgenstein’s thoughts on the philosophy of psychology even in the most general way. Rather it is my intention to shed some light on a diagnosis which he made for the psychology of his time. In part 1 of this paper I would like to provide a brief sketch of what Wittgenstein considered to be the conceptual confusion prevalent in psychology and to suggest why he did not expect the methods of an experimental (natural) science to be successful in solving the problems that concern us in psychology. In part 2 I’ll attempt to analyze how psychological concepts, according to Wittgenstein, might be construed in order to avoid any type of conceptual confusion.
Nicht einmal ein Etwas
Authors: Mühlhölzer Felix
Published: December 2019

Not Even a Something. If one exclaims that a pain is not a Nothing, what one means is that one feels it and that, when felt, it is simply there. Why shouldn’t one then also say, contrary to PI 293 & 304, that it is ‘a Something’? One has to admit, however, that, as felt, it is only momentarily there, and when I ask whether the pain that I feel now is the same as the pain I felt earlier, I realize that for me there are no objective criteria of sameness: for me, what counts as the same is what appears to be the same. In the sparse privacy-scenario of PI 258 this talking about ‘sameness’ is totally empty, and so also our talking about ‘pain’, ‘sensation’, and so on, quite generally. In our public language, however, the situation is different, because there our use of a word like “pain” and our talking about the sameness of our own pains is embedded in our intersubjectively assessable speaking about pains. Nevertheless, also in this familiar case Wittgenstein’s statement near the end of PI 258 persists, at least under normal circumstances, and is accepted with regard to my own pain: “whatever is going to seem correct to me is correct”. But now, as part of our normal way of speaking, to claim this correctness is not empty. At the same time, however, it is not justified in a substantial way. With assertions like “I am in pain” or like “This is the same pain as earlier” the language-game does not end, as Wittgenstein says; it begins with them. This view, expressed in PI 290, can appear outrageous and may lead to the reaction, scrutinized in the beetle-paragraph PI 293, that everyone can tell from her own case that she knows what pain is. To talk in this way involves a grammatical model, “the model of ‘object and name’”, that presumably underlies our reference to our own private objects and according to which our language-game with sensation words would ‘begin’ with the objects. However, by this severing of reference from our use of language, the objects referred to prove to be completely indeterminate. – In the two ways just described, regarding sameness and determinateness, our talk of a ‘Something’ in the case of sensations turns out to be problematic.

“If it passes, then it was not true love.” On two Remarks by Wittgenstein about Love. Wittgenstein’s Nachlass does not contain many philosophical remarks on love. Yet, the ones it does contain can be made fruitful for the long-lasting philosophical debate on love’s nature. This text, however, focuses on just two of these remarks, preparing their discussion extensively by sketching part of the philosophical background against which their points become visible.
Projection-Specific Potentiation of Ventral Pallidal Glutamatergic Outputs after Abstinence from Cocaine

Published: December 2019

The ventral pallidum (VP) is a central node in the reward system that is strongly implicated in reward and addiction. Although the majority of VP neurons are GABAergic and encode reward, recent studies revealed a novel glutamatergic neuronal population in the VP [VP neurons expressing the vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VPVGluT2)], whose activation generates aversion. Withdrawal from drugs has been shown to induce drastic synaptic changes in neuronal populations associated with reward, such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA) or nucleus accumbens neurons, but less is known about cocaine-induced synaptic changes in neurons classically linked with aversion. Here, we demonstrate that VPVGluT2neurons contact different targets with different intensities, and that cocaine conditioned place preference (CPP) training followed by abstinence selectively potentiates their synapses on targets that encode aversion. Using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings combined with optogenetics in male and female transgenic mice, we show that VPVGluT2neurons preferentially contact aversion-related neurons, such as lateral habenula neurons and VTA GABAergic neurons, with minor input to reward-related neurons, such as VTA dopamine and VP GABA neurons. Moreover, after cocaine CPP and abstinence, the VPVGluT2input to the aversion-related structures is potentiated, whereas the input to the reward-related structures is depressed. Thus, cocaine CPP followed by abstinence may allow VPVGluT2neurons to recruit aversion-related targets more readily and therefore be part of the mechanism underlying the aversive symptoms seen after withdrawal.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe biggest problem in drug addiction is the high propensity to relapse. One central driver for relapse events is the negative aversive symptoms experienced by addicts during withdrawal. In this work, we propose a possible mechanism for the intensification of aversive feelings after withdrawal that involves the glutamatergic neurons of the ventral pallidum. We show not only that these neurons are most strongly connected to aversive targets, such as the lateral habenula, but also that, after abstinence, their synapses on aversive targets are strengthened, whereas the synapses on other rewarding targets are weakened. These data illustrate how after abstinence from cocaine, aversive pathways change in a manner that may contribute to relapse.

Published: December 2019

Histone lysine demethylase 1 (LSD1), the first identified histone demethylase, is overexpressed in multiple tumor types, including breast cancer. However, the mechanisms that cause LSD1 dysregulation in breast cancer remain largely unclear. Here, we report that protein arginine methyltransferase 4 (PRMT4 or CARM1) dimethylates LSD1 at R838, which promotes the binding of the deubiquitinase USP7, resulting in the deubiquitination and stabilization of LSD1. Moreover, CARM1‐ and USP7‐dependent LSD1 stabilization plays a key role in repressing E‐cadherin and activating vimentin transcription through promoter H3K4me2 and H3K9me2 demethylation, respectively, which promotes invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells. Consistently, LSD1 arginine methylation levels correlate with tumor grade in human malignant breast carcinoma samples. Our findings unveil a unique mechanism controlling LSD1 stability by arginine methylation, also highlighting the role of the CARM1‐USP7‐LSD1 axis in breast cancer progression.
Antonio Maceo en Costa Rica a fines del siglo XIX: ¿Un intelectual orgánico de su época?
Authors: Álvarez Pitaluga Antonio
Published: December 2019

Con perspectiva filosófica e histórica, el artículo analiza una faceta del independentista cubano Antonio Maceo escasamente investigada por las historiografías de Cuba y Costa Rica: su condición de intelectual orgánico de su época. A partir de una caracterización histórica sobre dicho tipo de intelectual, se valora cómo Maceo adquirió tal condición, así como el papel que tuvo el liberalismo costarricense a finales del siglo XIX para alcanzarla. Se pretende demostrar que esta condición ha sido mayormente soslayada a pesar de su existencia histórica, para la cual Costa Rica brindó un contexto social muy favorable durante la estancia que desarrolló la mítica figura caribeña.
Los servicios sanitarios públicos: escenario de una subversión cotidiana de la política heterosexual
Authors: Otárola Guevara Marcela
Published: December 2019

Los servicios sanitarios, lugares cotidianos e indispensables, son el escenario de una práctica homosexual, denominada cruising, que desafía la política heterosexual materializada en normas que regulan la edificación y legitiman, simultáneamente, la construcción binaria del género asociada a la genitalidad. Como resultado de un seminario doctoral, en el presente ensayo se muestran los resultados de una investigación que recoge las principales directrices nomotéticas costarricenses que tutelan el diseño y levantamiento de los baños. Asimismo, se acopian testimonios de hombres quienes, de cara a la praxis y retórica heteronormativa, se apropian de estos espacios para subvertir su connotación y, así, desmantelar su función como deponente del género.
Growth and fillet yield in recirculation systems of Lobotes pacificus (Perciformes: Lobotidae), a species with aquaculture potential

Published: December 2019

The genus Lobotes extends across tropical and subtropical areas of oceans such as the Atlantic and the Pacific; it is extracted in artisanal fisheries, and its aquaculture production technology is still under investigation. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the growth and fillet yield of L. pacificus in recirculated systems. In 2014, for a 100-day period, 132 juveniles were placed in six 10m3 tanks (22 fish/tank), D1 (ranging 5-13 g, x̄ = 8.8 ± 1.9 g, n = 66), and D2 (ranging 14-80 g, x̄ = 44.7 ± 16.4 g, n = 66). Fish were fed to satiety, D1 with artificial feed and D2 with sardines. The weight-length relationship was calculated for each group. Fish had a final weight of 47.7 ± 20.3 g and 612.2 ± 238.7 g in groups D1and D2, respectively, while survival was 98.3% and 72.7% in groups D1 and D2. The whole fish and fillet yields (whole eviscerated fish yield of 89.0 ± 0.5% and fillet yields without skin of 36.1 ± 0.6%) from group D2 were considered acceptable and competitive. The 100 days of culture indicated that L. pacificus reached commercial sizes in less time than other similar fish species; however, the use of sardines as the only source of food was not recommended. This study showed that L. pacificus has high yield potential for aquaculture.
Impactos de la contaminación por basura marina en el ecosistema de manglar de la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Caribe colombiano
Authors: Garcés Ordóñez Ostin , Bayona Arenas Mónica Rocío
Published: December 2019

La basura en el mar está generando impactos negativos en los ecosistemas marinos y comunidades humanas, razón por la cual se considera un problema relevante cuya solución ha sido incluida como meta dentro del Objetivo de desarrollo sostenible n.o 14. El propósito de este estudio fue identificar y valorar los impactos negativos de la contaminación por basura marina en el ecosistema de manglar de la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM), Caribe colombiano. Los impactos se identificaron mediante observación in situ (impactos observados), durante salidas de campo realizadas en febrero de 2018 y a partir de la revisión de información secundaria (impactos potenciales). La valoración de la importancia ambiental de los impactos observados se realizó tomando como base la metodología propuesta por Fernández (2010), que considera los criterios de intensidad, extensión, momento, reversibilidad, recuperabilidad, sinergia y acumulación. En total, se identificaron 10 impactos observados en campo y 11 impactos potenciales causados por la basura marina en los manglares de la CGSM. La presencia, la acumulación y la degradación de la basura marina generan impactos moderados, severos y críticos en el manglar de la CGSM. De estos se resaltan, por el peligro potencial, la acumulación de microplásticos en el ambiente, la limitación del establecimiento de propágulos y crecimiento de plántulas, y los cambios físicos en el suelo. Estos resultados servirán para que las autoridades ambientales puedan tomar acciones preventivas y reductivas de este tipo de contaminación y contribuir, significativamente, a la recuperación del manglar y sus servicios ambientales.
Die Neustimmung der Kreditkartenzahlung und die Reichweite der Haftung des Acquirers beim Kreditkartenmissbrauch

Published: December 2019

Die Vertragsstruktur bei der Kreditkartenzahlung wird mittlerweile weit überwiegend durch ein Vier- bzw. Fünf-Parteien-System geprägt. Zwischen die Kreditkartenorganisation und die Vertragsunternehmen tritt der sog. Acquirer. Diese veränderte Marktstruktur, die Rückbindung der Vertragstypenbestimmung an die in der Praxis aktuell verwendeten AGB-Klauselwerke sowie die grundlegende Änderung der technischen und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen der Kreditkartenzahlung gebieten eine rechtliche Neubestimmung der Kreditkartenzahlung, namentlich der Einordnung der Akquisitionsverträge. Als Folge stellt sich auch die Zuweisung des Mißbrauchsrisikos bei der Kreditkartenzahlung abweichend von der bisherigen Rechtslage dar.

Folgenbeseitigungsansprüche aus § 8 UWG? – Eine kritische Betrachtung
Authors: Osburg Clemens
Published: December 2019

In Zeiten anhaltender Negativzinsen ist das Erwirtschaften von Entgelten für die Kreditinstitute weiterhin von wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Gleichwohl wird zurzeit rechtspolitisch und dem folgend durch einige gerichtliche Entscheidungen anhand des Beseitigungsanspruchs aus § 8 UWG ein zweifelhaftes Instrument des kollektiven Rechtsschutzes gegen unwirksame Entgeltklauseln entwickelt. Jene Klauseln stehen schon länger im Blickpunkt der Rechtsprechung – hinsichtlich ihrer Rechtmäßigkeit in AGB-Bestimmungen hat der BGH ein ausdifferenziertes Prüfprogramm entwickelt. Sowohl das OLG Dresden als auch die Vorinstanz haben nun auf Grundlage von § 8 Abs. 1 Satz 1 UWG einen Folgenbeseitigungsanspruch bejaht, der das beklagte Institut verpflichtet, unrechtmäßig vereinnahmte Entgelte an die betroffenen Verbraucher zurückzuzahlen.

Inwieweit dieser Folgenbeseitigungsanspruch mit dem geltenden Recht vereinbar ist und welche Voraussetzungen und Inhalt ihm zugrunde liegen, soll Schwerpunkt dieses Beitrags sein. Dabei soll insbesondere die nun erstmals zugesprochene Rückzahlung erhobener Entgelte an die betroffenen Verbraucher beleuchtet und kritisch hinterfragt werden.

Background and aims. The process of scarring is a common denominator of interest for the medical field. From general medicine to dentistry, pathological scar tissue represents a challenge in providing optimal care to a patient. The present study aims to investigate whether a systemically reduced antioxidant potential, revealed by null isoforms of glutathione S transferase, affects the process of scarring in a group of female patients.

Methods. The study is based on a group of 54 patients with physiological scars after a 6-month observation period, as well as 18 patients with hypertrophic or atrophic scars. Peripheral venous blood was collected, from which DNA was extracted using a commercial kit. Genotyping followed a Multiplex PCR protocol for GSTT1/GSTM1.

Results. In a dominant model, the combination of wild type (heterozygous or homozygous) GSTT1 and GSTM1 was negatively associated with pathological scarring, with the wild type (heterozygous or homozygous) GSTM1 genotype being potentially responsible for this effect. Other factors affecting pathological scarring were investigated: family history, phototype, as well as scores on the POSAS and SCAR scales.

Conclusions. The presence of GSTT1 and GSTM1 alleles brings forward an increased antioxidant capacity, serving as a protective factor for patients during scar formation.
Esthetic aspects in implant-prosthetic rehabilitation
Authors: Forna Norina , Agop-Forna Doriana
Published: December 2019

The esthetic component is critical for the successful outcome and patients’ satisfaction regarding the implant-prosthetic therapy. The esthetic outcome success depends mostly on the optimization of the algorithms specific to the pro-implant and implant stage as well as to the designing and technological execution of the future prosthetic restoration. A proper planning of optimal facial esthetics must involve a multidisciplinary approach with inclusion of periodontists, orthodontists, oral surgeons and implantology specialists.  The dental practitioner must consider various factors that influence the esthetic outcome (tooth position, root position of the adjacent teeth, biotype of the periodontium, tooth shape, smile line, implant site anatomy, implant positioning). Also, some factors (anatomical limits of the implant site, periodontal status, occlusal parameters), which can alter the final esthetic result, must be assessed prior to planning the esthetic parameters of the future prosthetic restoration. The esthetic outcome can be improved by using new digital technologies based on software applications for assessment of clinical and biological indices of the prosthetic field, virtual planning of implants positioning and design projection of future prosthetic restoration.

Published: December 2019

Background and aims. The interest in the research of both Oral Health Related Quality Of Life and dental aesthetics has increased in the recent years. The aim of the current study consists in the evaluation of the perception of oral-health, dental aesthetics and self-esteem in a general population.

Methods. A group of students of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, were trained in the field of questionnaire interviewing. The students were asked to apply the following questionnaires to a number of maximum five close persons: the OHIP-14Aesthetic questionnaire, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and a questionnaire evaluating demographic data. Each interviewed subject provided informed consent. The sample included 97 subjects with an age range of 18-75 years. For each of the three applied questionnaires overall scores were computed and used for the calculation of Pearson correlations and inferential statistical procedures: the t-test.

Results. Related to the complete sample (N=97), the highest OHIP-14Aesthetic scores were obtained for the functional limitation (mean score of 2.22), physical pain (mean score of 2.72) and psychological discomfort (mean score of 1.37) subscales. The highest Rosenberg self-esteem scale scores were obtained for the following questions: “I think I am no good at all” (mean score of 3.50), “feel useless at times” (mean score of 3.53), “inclined to feel that I am a failure” (mean score 3.77), “positive attitude toward myself” (mean score of 3.50). Statistically significant correlations were registered between the overall Rosenberg self-esteem scale score and the scores of the following OHIP-14Aesthetic subscales: psychological discomfort (r = -0.201, p = 0.49), physical disability (r = -0.219, p = 0.031), psychological disability (r = -0.218, p = 0.032), social disability (r = -0.203, p = 0.046). The t-test revealed statistically significant gender differences, in regard to the OHIP-14Aesthetic overall score t(95) = -2,820, p = 0.006.

Conclusions. The current study indicates the existence of statistically significant gender differences in the perception of oral health and a series of dental aesthetics elements in a general population. Moreover, statistically significant correlations were obtained between the perception of oral health and the perception of self-esteem.
The Mental Scenarios and Internet Genre Etiquette of Different Cultures (Based on Online Greetings in Four Languages)
Authors: Lassan Eleonora
Published: December 2019

This article analyses online greetings in the Russian, Polish, Lithuanian and German languages. The author treats greetings as a speech act which helps the addresser to remind the addressee of his/her good attitude towards him/her on the basis of a particular occasion—the addressee’s birthday. The author analyses this speech act in relation to the specific communicative and mental scenarios of the culture to which the speaker belongs. The entirety of standard speech acts and the combination of intentions of the speakers form a genre. The genre of modern online greetings seems contiguous to folklore genres, because most of the texts do not have authors. Moreover, these texts move from one Internet site to another, resulting in a wide circle of “implementers”—users.The author distinguishes some typical characteristics of online greetings among the four cultures. An emphasis on the figure of the speaker and an incantatory character are typical of Russian greeting texts. Happiness, health and eternal youth are the key objects of these Russian texts. Russian greetings are related to the future. German greetings are mainly related to the birthday celebration itself. Greetings are often related to a review of life: on this occasion the addressee is encouraged to reflect on whether s/he has lived the past year appropriately. The word courage (Mut) is constantly repeated in German greetings, whereas this word is absent from the Russian greetings. The figure of the speaker is marginally expressed in Polish greetings. The sweetness of life is present in Polish greetings, whereas it is observed neither in German nor in Russian texts. May all your dreams come true is a cliché element of Polish greeting texts. Lithuanian greetings distinguish themselves by their melancholic tone.The author relates the detected specific features of online greetings to the ideas of philosophers and historians on the unique means of expressing one’s national character.
Arthur Ramos e a rotinização da Antropologia através de seu ensino
Authors: Oliveira Amurabi
Published: December 2019

Arthur Ramos (1903-1949) foi um dos mais relevantes antropólogos brasileiros do século 20, não apenas devido à sua inestimável contribuição ao debate acerca das culturas afro-brasileiras, como também pelo seu papel no processo de institucionalização da Antropologia no Brasil, com destaque para a fundação em 1941 da Sociedade Brasileira de Antropologia e Etnologia (SBAE). Apesar do crescente interesse pelo seu legado intelectual, os esforços de revisita a seu trabalho pouco têm se dedicado ao processo de rotinização do conhecimento antropológico por ele desempenhado, principalmente a partir de sua atuação na Faculdade Nacional de Filosofia. Proponho-me neste trabalho analisar a rotinização do conhecimento antropológico a partir da atuação de Arthur Ramos como docente, partindo do exame de seus planos de curso, orientações para alunos etc., disponíveis para consulta no acervo da Biblioteca Nacional (BN). Trata-se de uma abordagem sobre a história da Antropologia brasileira que visa compreendê-la a partir de seu ensino, e não simplesmente a partir dos resultados das pesquisas desenvolvidas e das publicações daí resultantes.

Ciência Política na Ufrgs: formação, evolução e perfil da produção científica
Authors: Maglia Cristiana , Peres Paulo
Published: December 2019

O objetivo central deste artigo é reconstruir a história do processo de autonomização acadêmica da Ciência Política no Rio Grande do Sul, desde a criação do Programa de Pós-Graduação, em 1973, até o momento atual, a partir da análise descritiva de documentos e de entrevistas com personagens centrais desse processo. Com base nesse material, defendemos o argumento de que houve uma geração de cientistas políticos na Ufrgs que contribuiu para a autonomia acadêmica da disciplina em âmbito regional e nacional e, concomitantemente, foi responsável pela difusão de paradigmas predominantes na Ciência Política norte-americana e europeia. Para evidenciar a adesão aos paradigmas, são analisadas as teses e as dissertações defendidas no período de 1977 a 2016, com base em categorias teórico-metodológicas para a sua classificação.
Desigualdade de gênero, internacionalização e trajetórias acadêmicas na Ciência Política: evidências no Brasil e no Uruguai
Authors: Rocha-Carpiuc Cecilia , Madeira Rafael Machado
Published: December 2019

Estudos dedicados a analisar a história e a configuração atual da Ciência Política têm crescido significativamente na região. Contudo, um aspecto permanece pouco explorado: a igualdade de gênero no campo disciplinar. Pretende-se aqui identificar a existência de diferenças nas trajetórias acadêmicas dos cientistas políticos devido ao seu gênero, em dois países: Brasil e Uruguai. O principal indicador utilizado é o grau de internacionalização das carreiras acadêmicas. A internacionalização será medida em duas dimensões: formação acadêmica no exterior e publicação de artigos em periódicos estrangeiros. A análise baseia-se em dados primários, coletados junto aos Curriculum Vitae dos docentes e publicados nos respectivos sistemas nacionais de investigação de cada país: Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq-Lattes) (Brasil) e Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovación (ANII-SNI) (Uruguai). A evidência encontrada indica que, em ambos, as mulheres estão sub representadas no quadro de docentes (constituindo-se em 30% do universo) e publicam menos artigos (nacionais e internacionais) que seus colegas homens. Contudo, as evidências não indicam diferenças entre os gêneros em relação aos principais destinos da formação acadêmica e da produção de artigos.

Correlation of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance among clinical and soil isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in Iraq
Authors: Hassan Pakhshan A. , Khider Adel K.
Published: December 2019

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is reported as a major cause of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the biofilm formation by A. baumannii clinical and soil isolates, to display their susceptibility to 11 antibiotics and to study a possible relationship between formation of biofilm and multidrug resistance. During 8 months period, from June 2016 to January 2017, a total of 52 clinical and 22 soil isolates of A. baumannii were collected and identified through conventional phenotypic, chromo agar, biochemical tests, API 20E system, and confirmed genotypically by PCR for blaOXA-51-like gene. Antibiotic susceptibility of isolates was determined by standard disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. The biofilm formation was studied using Congo red agar, test tube, and microtiter plate methods. The clinical isolates were 100% resistance to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, piperacillin, 96.15% to gentamicin, 96.15% to imipenem, 92.31% to meropenem, and 78.85% to amikacin. The soil A. baumannii isolates were 100% sensitive to imipenem, meropenem, and gentamicin, and 90.1% to ciprofloxacin. All A. baumannii isolates (clinical and soil) were susceptible to polymyxin B. The percentage of biofilm formation in Congo red agar, test tube, and microtiter plate assays was 10.81%, 63.51%, and 86.48%, respectively. More robust biofilm former population was mainly among non-MDR isolates. Isolates with a higher level of resistance tended to form weaker biofilms. The soil isolates exhibited less resistance to antibiotics than clinical isolates. However, the soil isolates produce stronger biofilms than clinical isolates.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand factors interfering with the attendance of quilombola children to growth and development follow-up appointments. Method: It is a qualitative research based on Symbolic interactionism, during which 14 mothers of children bellow 1 year-old were interviewed, who attended to the Family Health Unit at Ilha de Maré, Bahia, Brazil. Results: Appointment attendance is affected by factors intrinsic to mothers (meaning of child health follow-up; association between appointments and children falling ill; personal issues) and extrinsic factors, related to the service (availability, long waiting time for appointments and its quality). Final considerations: An administration prioritizing the service’s organization is required, which can prioritize attendances and the reduction of waiting time, specially given the personal issues that compromise going to the unit.
